Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 66 The Fall of Yingshan
When Qiu Tianxing learned that another Tartar army had entered the sphere of influence of the security regiment, the enemy had almost approached the city.

Communication in this era is really too difficult. Although there are carrier pigeons, beacon fires, and fast horses in the transmission of information, compared to the telegrams, telephones, etc. of Qiu Tianxing's previous life, the speed is simply slow.

Therefore, at a time when the whole security team should chase after the poor, and should not become famous as a bully, the enemy's sharp knife is about to be pierced into the heart, but the members of the security team are scattered all over the place.

"Mistake, misstep."

In the office, Qiu Tianxing complained angrily.He was dazzled by the great surprise of defeating the enemy.He only cared about annihilating the enemy, but did not leave a reserve team behind. He forgot that there was another enemy team, like a wolf in the dark, baring its fangs, waiting to bite his throat.

"How to do how to do?"

At this moment, Qiu Tianxing panicked, and he was no longer as calm as before.In this battle, the security regiment lost one-third of the battle, leaving less than 4 people.Most of these 4 people entered various villages and led the local militia to wipe out the remnants of the Tartars. Now there are only 3000 people in Yingshan City.

At this time, Qiu Tianxing realized that the strategic depth of the security regiment was too small, with only four counties in the territory, and the enemy could hit his command center with a single attack.

However, expanding the territory is a matter for the future, and the most urgent thing right now is to escape this fatal disaster.

After learning of this situation, all of Qiu Tianxing's subordinates also rushed to persuade him.People with higher seats are more afraid of death, and only those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes.The nourishment of power has made many of them no longer regard themselves as ordinary people, so naturally their lives are much more valuable than ordinary people.

When Song Jilin called before, firstly Qiu Tianxing insisted on staying at Yingshan, and secondly, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at home, so they still had the idea of ​​giving it a go.However, this time it was different, the ten pavilions of our own troops went to the three pavilions, and the remaining six pavilions were scattered around, unable to gather for a while.So the high-level members of the security regiment panicked, hoping that Qiu Tianxing would take them to move strategically to Henan, where there were still three main battalions of the security regiment.

Time passed little by little, and more and more information was passed on, and all the villages encountered by the Tartars on the way forward were slaughtered.

This time, the high-level people panicked even more.The ferocity of the Tartars made them seem to go back to a few years ago, when the Tartars just went south, when blood flowed into rivers, corpses piled up in mountains, and the security team had not yet been formed.

Seeing that Qiu Tianxing was still hesitant, Zhou Zhen said anxiously.

"Son-in-law, hurry up and make a decision, the Tartars are dozens of miles away. Whether it's fighting or going, just say it!" Zhou Zhen was extremely anxious, and he simply persuaded him as his father-in-law.

"Husband!"

Zhou Xiu who just came from home stood beside her father, she looked at Qiu Tianxing anxiously, waiting for him to make a decision.

However, at this moment, Qiu Tianxing was extremely entangled in his heart.It's easy to leave, but if you leave like this, Yingshan will definitely fall, and it will greatly damage the reputation of the security team.Moreover, there is another idea hidden in the darkest corner of Qiu Tianxing's heart, that is, if Yingshan falls, the prestige of the center will definitely be hit, and then the three battalions entrenched in the place will take the opportunity to grow bigger.Weak stems and strong branches, with big tails that can't fall off, are not a good thing for the great cause of the security team.

But no matter how worried you are, this is also a funeral, but if you don't leave, it will become a funeral.

Qiu Tianxing's eyes swept across the crowd, but when his eyes fell on Zhou Xiu's face, he revealed a soft look.

This is my wife, and I have an obligation to protect her.

"Withdraw!" Qiu Tianxing spat out a word with difficulty.

After the order was issued, the regiment headquarters suddenly jumped up and down, and everyone took action one after another. Some sorted things, some carried things, and some burned important things that could not be taken away. in the hands of the Tartars.

Outside the regiment headquarters, the whole city was in chaos.Informed by the preachers, the people in the whole city packed their bags and prepared to flee. The terrified expressions, miserable cries, and objects everywhere seemed to be the end of the world.

For them, though, it was the end of the world.The Tartars came all the way, blood was all over the ground, if they caught themselves, they would definitely not be able to escape.

So for my own life, for the lives of the whole family, it is certain to escape. As for where to escape, I haven't figured it out yet.

It's just that winter is about to enter, and there is no food or shelter in the wild. I'm afraid a large area will freeze to death after a snowfall.You can escape for a while, but you can't escape for a whole winter!At that time, there is still no escape from death.

Thinking of this, some people looked at the members of the security team with resentment in their eyes.

"It's these people who yell fiercely, but as soon as the tartars come, they want to run away. Just run away, but before they run, they kill many tartars, and let the tartars come to revenge for the murder, and they hurt themselves The whole family has to run away."

These people forgot how much they cheered from the bottom of their hearts when they defeated Song Jilin earlier, and how angry they were from the bottom of their hearts when the preacher said the Tartars were brutal.As a result, when the Tartar butcher's knife was really about to be worn around their necks, they complained that the security team didn't have the ability to beat the Tartar.

There is a market for such weird remarks, and many people think so.This kind of ridiculous words is like the wolf can't be beaten when it comes, just let it eat, otherwise it will attract more wolves.

Some preachers couldn't stand this kind of talk, and they countered with a few words, only to attract more cynicism.

At this moment, in the heart of the preacher, these troublemakers are so hateful, even worse than those Tartars who are killing people and setting fire not far away.

The two sides are somewhat opposed, hating each other so much that the other's teeth itch, but forget that each other is their own, but the enemy is those who use knives to kill themselves.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Chinese people like internal fighting.What they hate and can't stand the most is the betrayal of their own people, but they are tolerant to the enemy, thinking that it is only natural for the enemy to kill themselves, because that is the enemy.

In the 20th year of Chongzhen, the first year of Yongli, on September [-]th in the fourth year of Shunzhi, Yingshan fell.Qiu Tianxing fled to Xinyang with the security regiment.The anti-Tartar cause of the security regiment fell into a low ebb.
