"Don't grind, let Lao Tzu go faster!"

One hundred and forty-five Qing soldiers armed with swords and spears drove thousands of people and kept pacing north.

They were originally the family members of Xue Peng, the history of Xixi. Because of Xue Peng's meritorious work in "moving the people", he was promoted to the official of Huai'an Mansion by the Qing court - Zheng Qipin - and they also officially entered the green camp and ate the imperial court's silver.

Xue Tuiguan has been in a good mood recently, and he has rewarded them with money, but they are not happy at this time, but they look anxious, and wave their blades from time to time to scold, "Old bones, you have to take a few whips before you are willing to leave, right?" ”

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it will be your turn to cross the river, and when you get to the north bank, Lao Tzu will not bother to look at you."

"Fuck, do you want to die? Nanming is too Yang......"

The man was halfway through his speech and hurriedly closed his mouth, but several captives immediately came over and whispered, "Old Wei, what news have you heard?" ”

The man surnamed Wei looked around, and also lowered his voice and said, "Don't hide it from my brothers, I met a fellow from Shandong yesterday who came from Yangzhou." It is said that Yangzhou has fallen into the hands of Nanming. ”

He remembered the words of the fellow last night, and couldn't help wiping a cold sweat, and continued: "It is said that the army is extremely cruel, and it is outside Yangzhou City that more than a dozen clan Baylor or Jianzhou officials such as Shuosai, Ashan, and Suke Saha will be given to ......."

He cautiously looked around again, "Chop the knife into dozens of pieces!" The Ming army also threatened to slaughter the defenders of the city. ”

He ignored the fact that the few people around him were white and white, and continued: "That's not all, I heard that the Yangzhou guard general Ebai and hundreds of guards did not surrender, and the Ming army actually transferred more than 100 cannons, all of which were bombarded into slag......

Immediately, someone said in a trembling voice: "Yangzhou is not guarded by the blue flag, why did it lose it so quickly?" ”

"Didn't the master say that Yangzhou could last at least two months, this is ...... Two days! ”

"I don't know when the Ming army will arrive here, let's cross the river as soon as possible......"

Before the man finished speaking, he suddenly heard a bang behind him, and suddenly a red and white splashed into the air, and a hole appeared in his head, and he fell to the ground without humming.

The surrounding captives were shocked, and hurriedly raised their blades and turned to guard again, but another burst of bullets came, which was incomparably accurate, and killed six or seven captives in an instant.

"There!" Finally someone saw the enemy troops hiding next to the mound.

Xue Tuiguan shrank behind the war horse, peeked at it, and shouted: "It's just about thirty people, give it to Lao Tzu!" ”

The captives glanced at each other, and the bow-wielding ones returned fire, while the spearmen leaned forward tremblingly.

But before they could take more than ten steps, a roar suddenly erupted from among the victims who were still dejected and looked blank, "Kill the traitor!" ”

"Fight with the dog thief surnamed Xue!"

"The imperial army has come to our rescue!"

Immediately, fifty or sixty men jumped out, all carrying swords in their hands.

The captives were caught off guard, and in an instant, more than a dozen archers were cut down from behind, and at the same time, the sound of firearms was heard again from behind the mound, and the Qing saber spearmen who ran in front immediately decreased by more than ten.

When the people who had been driven away from their homes heard the words "army of the imperial court," the anger in their hearts suddenly rose, and they were greatly encouraged to see that many of the traitors who had plagued them had been killed.

For a while, everyone came up with their own poles and stones, shouting.

Those captives were originally just Xue's family members, and it was okay to bully the neighbors, but after dozens of people really died, where would they dare to resist? One by one, they turned their heads and ran, but they collided with the people who rushed up, and they were overwhelmed by the surging crowd in a moment.

More than 30 people behind the mound also followed, the bayonets in their hands were neat and ruthless, and after a few ups and downs, Xue Tuiguan and his men all fell to the ground.

A group of people hula surrounded them, and more than a dozen men with knives pushed through the crowd and stepped forward to kneel, "The grass people have seen the military master, thank you for saving my fellow villagers." ”

The man with the gun hurriedly held them up, and the leader said with a smile: "No need to be polite, it's all within your responsibility." ”

A person next to him asked curiously, "I don't know that the military master was sent by the imperial court to save us?" ”

"Exactly." The officer nodded, and then asked, "Do you know where there are still people around here who are being held hostage by thieves?" ”

"A few thousand people went east." Someone immediately replied.

"After Shanyang, there are the most people by the river in the northeast."

"I also heard that there are thieves' grain and grass to the west of Sutsui that have not been transported."

"There are also grain ...... in Shanyang City"

The officer turned to the young men with swords, "Would you like to follow me to save more people?" ”

These people were very hesitant when they encountered the Ming army last night, and some of them did not dare to keep the weapons when they got them, so they threw them in the wasteland, and only more than 50 people hid their blades in their luggage.

But after the devastating battle just now, their confidence in the Ming army and themselves was greatly enhanced, and when they stepped forward one after another, "Naturally, I was homeless by these dog thieves, and I hate to crush them to ashes!" ”

"Let's go, follow the military master to kill the Tartars!"

"Damn, anyway, the family is gone, kill the Tartars and take revenge!"

Seeing this, the other people also geared up, "Count me in!" ”

"Don't look at the old man's age, but it's not a problem to pick two hundred pounds by hand!"

"I'm going to ...... too"

Although there were about 3,000 people in this group, there were only 400 young and middle-aged people, and the rest were all old and weak women and children, but more than 300 people had to go with the Ming army to fight the Tartars.

In the end, the officer picked more than 140 people, picked up the blades of the Qing army, and took more than a dozen firearms under the big tree not far away, and distributed them to the hunters who would summon them.

Then the group quickly rushed east to rescue thousands of people over there.

The same scene was played out everywhere on the south bank of the Huai River, and in just two days, more than 3,000 traitors or prisoners who drove the people across the Huai River were attacked and killed, and more than 60,000 people were rescued.

When they came, the dragoons of the 400 Ming army were already followed by more than 2,000 people, and they were preparing to seize the granary of the Qing army. Another two or three thousand civilians, who had been given weapons, scattered around and continued to rescue others......

The north bank of the Huai River.

Muyang City.

"Chen Bangxuan this waste!" Dolgon kicked the wooden table beside him and flew away, and roared angrily, "Four thousand men and horses, even a hundred thousand untouchables can't stand it!" It was just that the person didn't cross the river with him, he dared to leave tens of thousands of stones and grains and rice and fled back! ”

He pointed to his side and bowed, "Go, push him out of the camp and cut him down." ”

On the side, Ma Guangyuan hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, there is no danger to defend on the south bank, and the southern army has suddenly arrived...... Moreover, this is not good for the army. ”

Dolgon was about to scold again, but saw the commander of his escort army come in and report, "Master, Prince Su has arrived in Pizhou." ”

Dolgon's eyes were cold, and he turned his head and asked Ma Guangyuan in a low voice, "Are you ready over there?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Regent, it has already been prepared, and it is foolproof!"

"Good!" Dolgon stroked his palms and said in a deep voice, "Order, protect the army and pull out the camp, follow me to Pizhou!" ”
