Crimson Dawn

Chapter 171 no_name

The Gaojiazhai Farmers' Association in Nangong County ceased its official operations on September 1906, 9, although all members shouldered their responsibilities.But the official operation has ended, and the members have all dispersed.The person who witnessed this period of history was Pang Zi, who watched Chen Tianhua go away from an unnoticed place beside the village.I saw other members also start to evacuate.Mr. Jing Tingwen stood alone at the gate of the farmer's association and lit a bag of dry tobacco.

On that day, among the last few households who refused to leave the village, three households chose to evacuate.The two households still stick to their homes.Pang Zi didn't care about these last small changes.What he knew was that there were no forces friendly to him in Nangong County now, and other forces were lurking and waiting.The Beiyang Army in the distance must have received the order to dispatch.

Pang Zi originally wanted to escape as soon as possible. After Uncle Jing’s uprising, in May, the Qing army surrounded the important stronghold of the rebel army—Jianzhi Village, Guangzong County, and attacked it with artillery fire.Uncle Jing led his army to fight hard, and finally broke out and moved to Cheng'an, Linzhang and other places.In June, Uncle Jing was defeated and arrested.In July, he was taken to Yudi Village, Wei County and executed in Ling Chi.

A team of 10,000+ people was completely defeated in just over two months.After being defeated for the first time, the team no longer had the guts to fight.A large number of people escaped, coupled with the heavy encirclement and suppression by the Beiyang Army.That's why it failed so completely.Pang Zi didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, he planned not to wait for Pang Tianshuo, and led the team to Taihang Mountain first.

Now that he had made such a plan, Pang Zi began to mobilize the brothers in the Escort.The few key brothers could understand, but what I didn't expect was that many of the brothers below didn't want to leave Nangong County.This result was beyond Pang Zi's expectation. He thought it would be no problem for the brothers to temporarily leave Nangong County in order to save their lives.But in fact, some of the brothers didn't think so at all.

Gao Songling and the others came back and told Pang Zi that some of the brothers felt that they should simply disperse to other places like the common people, and some of the brothers felt that they would wait and see, maybe the officers and soldiers would not come.There are also a few who even feel that the Beiyang Army is nothing special.Fight as soon as you fight, you don't have to be afraid of the Beiyang Army.

Pang Zi really didn't expect that the brothers would have such various ideas.In the past, Pang Zi gave the order, and the brothers followed without saying a word.At that time, when I went to other places to deliver goods, my brothers rushed to go, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation now.

"This is not as good as the peasant association!" Pang Zi said bitterly.The group of people from the Peasant Association seemed far less cuddly than the brothers from the Escort Bureau, but when it came to evacuating, they were able to walk so cleanly.My brothers talk so much nonsense.Chen Tianhua didn't know how to treat those people from the peasant association on weekdays, but he was able to persuade the people from the peasant association...

Although he was angry in his heart, Pang Zi couldn't act like this.He ordered the brothers to be called together, and he himself persuaded them.Just gathered everyone in the village, looking at the angry brothers, Pang Zi didn't have time to speak.He heard a burst of gunfire from the north of the village.

Everyone was stunned, the gunshots became tense and relaxed, and soon stopped.Calm was quickly restored, "Get on your horse!" Pang Zi shouted.The brothers who had been listening to the movement immediately turned their heads and ran to the stables.Pang Zi took a few brothers and ran to the north of the village.

"It shouldn't be!" Pang Zi felt very puzzled in his mind.The Beiyang Army shouldn't have come so fast.It is only the fifth day since defeating the Canal Defense Battalion. How could the Beiyang Army come so quickly?Pang Zi immediately ruled out this option.But if the person who came was not the Beiyang Army, who would it be?

As he was running, he saw a figure riding a horse in front of him. The man on the horse was a man dressed as a local farmer wearing a gray felt hat. He was clutching his ribs tightly. A lot of pain, and his posture significantly reduces the impact on the body of the horse when galloping.

"Brother, that's the fourth brother Du!" The brother next to him had sharp eyes and recognized the person who came.In a blink of an eye, Du Laosi was in front of Pang Zi and the others.The brothers quickly grabbed the reins, and Du Lao Si got off the horse with the help of others, blood was still dripping from his shoulders and armpits.

"Fourth, who is here?" Nephew Pang asked quickly, he was sent by Pang Zi to scout the north.

"There is at least one battalion of gray-skinned men, four or five hundred people all have horses and quick guns, and there are several big guys, and a large number of mules, horses and livestock..." The man panted, "These gray-skinned dogs are thieves. He was very smart, San'er took a few brothers to touch the edge, and a burst of guns came over, wounding a lot... and he couldn't get any closer."

"How far are they from us now? Whose banner is it?" the fat man asked.

"I didn't see the flag clearly. They were less than three miles away from us. I ran back and they didn't chase after me." After Du Laosi finished speaking, he sat down limply.

"Who the hell is this?" Pang Zi thought angrily. "Wrap up the fourth brother's wound first, and bring me the horse." Pang Zi shouted.

The training for the past few days has finally yielded some results. More than 200 brothers were divided into five teams, and now they rushed over under the leadership of their respective leaders.Pang Zi also got on the horse at this time, and the brothers rushed to the north of the village in a swarm.Two or three miles away, a group of cavalry in gray uniforms was lined up neatly, and the flags could not be seen clearly from a distance. They formed a formation against a jujube grove.The leading officer's shoulders are shining, and he doesn't know what rank he is.

The color of these Qing army uniforms was different from Beiyang's blue uniforms, which made Pang Zi heave a sigh of relief.

"Songling, curse!" Pang Zi ordered.

Gao Songling had a loud voice. Hearing Pang Zi's order, he urged his horse forward for more than ten meters, took a deep breath, and then let out a roar from his throat, "The officers and soldiers on the other side, I'm sorry for your grandma!" A burst of laughter immediately broke out among the brothers behind.To be honest, when meeting such a group of officers and soldiers suddenly, the brothers felt nervous for a while, but when they heard such an angry curse suddenly, everyone felt relieved for a while.

Pang Zi didn't smile, he let Gao Songling yell at the officers and soldiers, he had already retreated into the formation, and the brothers behind him had already pushed something over.It's a Gatling gun.Speaking of which, this machine gun is also thanks to the Canal Defense Battalion.When they came to make trouble this time, they didn't know what they were thinking, but they actually brought this machine gun with them.The most ridiculous thing is that when the whole army fled, the machine gunners were the first to drop this thing.Captured by Pang Zi.

Pang Zi is very familiar with this machine gun. When the Beiyang army and foreign devils attacked Uncle Jing, how many good brothers were killed by this kind of machine gun that can shoot continuously!Pang Zi clearly remembered.So after that, Pang Zi cared about this weapon very much.Unexpectedly, I could also grab one. Although the machine gun was extremely heavy, Pang Zi asked his brothers to bring it back.Among the prisoners were machine gunners.All the other prisoners, Pang Zi, were released.Only the machine gunner was brought back.In the past few days, Pang Zi has been forcing the machine gunner to teach everyone how to use this thing.

Listening to Gao Songling's obscenities, he greeted the female family members of the seven or eight generations of the officers and soldiers opposite.Pang Zi looked out from the crack of people.There are at least 300 officers and soldiers on the opposite side, and if my brothers fight against them, they will definitely not be able to fight.He still remembered that when his brother used cavalry to attack the Qing army and the foreign devils, the opponents did not move at all. First, this kind of machine gun fired.The brothers who rushed to the forefront were the bravest and most able to fight, and many were killed and injured by this machine gun.When his brothers were at a loss, the enemy launched a charge.It was just a charge, and his brothers crossed.Pang Zi is going to adopt the same tactics to deal with these officers and soldiers.

Those officers and soldiers in gray uniforms just stood quietly in the field, allowing Gao Songling to scold.Only a small number of figures were moving, and as the sun broke through the low clouds, a few lines of golden light suddenly appeared, while the flags of the government and army were shaking, a group of horses came out and rushed towards Pang Zi and the others.

There were more than 50 horses in this group, and the sound of more than 200 horses' hooves came from far and near, and everyone felt that they could gradually feel this vibration under their feet.Almost subconsciously, the brothers all started to back away.Gao Songling also steered his horse back to the team.

"The people in front don't move, I tell you to move, you move again." Pang Zi shouted.

Hearing this order, the brothers stopped, but Pang Zi saw that the hands of these brothers were trembling slightly, and some of their legs were also trembling.Before Pang Zi gave the order, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side suddenly straightened up on the horse, slowing down the horse's charging speed a little, then they raised their guns and shot at Pang Zi and the others.

There was an exclamation among the brothers in the escort agency, and almost all of them bent down subconsciously to avoid the bullets.The Gatling machine gun that had been hidden behind the crowd was immediately revealed.Pang Zi couldn't wait for the officers and soldiers to get closer. "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Pang Zi drove the brother in front of the machine gun, and then the Gatling machine gun began to spray flames.

"Da da da da da da da da da..." Fierce tongues of flame spewed out from the six barrels of the machine gun.The officers and soldiers did not expect that Pang Zi and the others had waiting firepower. Although the impact point was very bad, the cavalry of the officers and soldiers attacked from a fan. In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen officers and soldiers were either shot by themselves or their horses .The cavalry and horses fell to the ground one after another, and the other officers and soldiers who were not hit slowed down their charge in an instant.

Pang Zi fired a machine gun himself, and he knew how loud it was.But as soon as the gunshots sounded like popping beans, Pang Zi's ears were still buzzing.Where did the horses in Pang Zi's Escort Bureau hear such a sound? Many of the horses had already neighed and got up, or simply turned around and ran away.The brother who was supposed to control the horse was also startled by the sound.Failed to stabilize the horse effectively, there was chaos near the machine gun in a blink of an eye.

The bullets ran out quickly, and as soon as the gunfire fell, Pang Zi didn't care about the buzzing of his ears. He rushed to his horse, grabbed the horse that was spinning around, and jumped on the horse as fast as he could. Then he raised the rifle in his hand, "Brothers, go!" No matter how reluctant the horse was, Pang Zi slammed his feet against the horse's ribs.The horse finally obeyed Pang Zi's drive and rushed towards the officer's army.

Originally, Pang Zi had practiced this kind of combat in training.As soon as the machine gun stopped, more than 100 cavalry charged immediately.At this time, Pang Zi took the lead, and there were less than 50 brothers who could rush out after him.Fortunately, the number of opponents was smaller, and they were shot by machine guns, and the officers and soldiers were also terrified.At this moment, the horses finally stopped, and when Pang Zi rushed over with his men, they simply turned their horses and ran back.

Pang Zi didn't care whether he could hit or not, and fired a shot with his rifle.With him taking the lead, the brothers on horseback also thought of shooting. After one shot, another five or six of the fleeing officers and soldiers fell down.This chase chased for more than a mile, Pang Zi hurriedly led his brothers back.On the way back, several officers and soldiers who were injured and tried to stand up and escape were shot and hacked by the brothers of the Escort Bureau.

Although machine gun ambushes were used, the tactics of cavalry pursuit were used.Facing more than 50 officers and soldiers on the opposite side, only less than 20 people were killed or injured.The result of this battle is really not good.But this was a victory in the frontal confrontation, and there was a burst of ecstatic shouts from the Escort team that had begun to restore order.Everyone's morale was boosted, and many people raised their rifles and shouted inexplicable voices.More people were already gathered around the machine gun. Some people didn't know that the barrel of the machine gun was hot at this time, so they touched it with their hands, and then screamed from the heat.It caused a burst of good-natured laughter from the surrounding brothers.

Because of the hot pursuit, Pang Zi's chest was heaving violently at this time.He thought proudly.Now those officers and soldiers should know how powerful we are?As he ordered his brothers to rearrange the queue, the machine gun was placed at the back of the queue again.Looking at the carnival of the brothers, Pang Zi was not too optimistic.He had already made up his mind that as long as it was night, Pang Zi would give up the machine gun, and then lead his brothers to run south first, and then turn west.

In the past, the reason why Pang Zi didn't want to leave was because if he ran away without fighting, the brothers would definitely think that Pang Zi couldn't beat the Beiyang Army.That's not a good thing. Looking at it now, Pang Zi's strength will only get weaker and weaker. He can't win a single battle now. In the future, as long as the Beiyang Army is mentioned, the brothers will never have the courage to fight the Beiyang Army head-on.This is the scariest thing.

Now that they have been able to win for such a long time, the brothers know that they cannot defeat the Beiyang Army.When morale is high, it is easy to command the brothers to retreat.Pang Zi crawled out of the dead at any rate, but he knew very well in his heart how lucky this victory was.

Looking up at the cloud-covered sky, Pang Zi only hoped that the sky would get dark quickly.
