Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 135 The Combat Power of Women and Children
"Do you want to kill more sheep than any of us?" An Eight Banners soldier standing beside him suggested that hunting the fleeing Han people was his favorite thing to do.

Because there is almost no risk in chasing the fleeing enemy, the defeated enemy is like a sheep without courage, and absolutely dare not look back, let alone turn back and fight back.

The only thing that can be called a risk, maybe you need to pay attention not to trip over the potholes and uneven roads, and then fall like a dog, and if you are unlucky, you may even fall out of a mouthful of blood, but that is the most.

And chasing on the official road of the Central Plains people, there is not even this risk, because the official road has been repaired by the government, and it is very smooth. It may not be as good as the modern asphalt road, but it was already considered the highest in ancient times. The road is gone.

"Bijibi, my archery accuracy is much better than yours." After saying that, he was about to shoot another arrow.

"You shoot slowly, I'm going up to harvest the heads." The Eight Banners soldier didn't intend to shoot arrows slowly like his companions. In terms of the efficiency of killing people, of course it is the fastest to use a knife.

As long as you rush into the crowd, you don't even need to look for the target. You can cut two or three people with just one swing of the knife. If you want to cut off a dozen heads, you just need to run a few more steps and swing the knife a few more times. .

"Wait, I'll go too." He thought that killing people with bows and arrows would be better than chasing them with knives. Firstly, the range of bows and arrows is limited, and those village warriors can't shoot them after running for a while. Second, even if they kill people with bows and arrows, the head He and his ears may also be cut off by his fellow robes, so it's better to catch up and kill him slowly.

There are no fewer Eight Banners soldiers who are as thoughtful as the two of them. After all, in terms of numbers, the country warriors are the most. There are only a few dozen people around Rogge and Fugui. In this regard, the Eight Banners soldiers who have experienced many battles are very experienced.

People ran very fast on the official road, and after a while, Xiangyong and the Eight Banners soldiers who were chasing them came to the grove where Rogge and the others hid the old, weak, women and children.

As Rogge expected, these Eight Banners soldiers did not find that there were hundreds of women and children hiding in the grove, and their attention was all attracted by the village braves who tried their best to escape.

But at the same time, those women and children also turned their attention to these Eight Banners soldiers.

"Aunt Wang, look at those Tartars chasing the brave men." A little girl said to a woman who looked like a 30-year-old young woman beside her.

"God damn dog tartar, I don't know how many people have been killed." The woman named Wang Da Niang saw Xiangyong who had been hacked and shot to death by the Eight Banners soldiers along the way, she gritted her teeth angrily and stomped her feet.

"Anyone who can hold a knife and gun should go out with me. Staying here is just waiting to die. If all the men outside are dead, they will come to us."

"Instead of letting them come to our door to tarnish us, it's better to pick up guys and fight them first." Aunt Wang is about 30 years old, and it is the time when her temper is hot, so in a fit of anger, she will take women and children to pick up weapons and charge. go out.

She knew very well that staying here was not a long-term solution. The Tartars killed people like hemp, and she heard that there were horse hunters in the Tartars, no matter how bad the environment was, they could find lost horses.

It just so happened that there were a few Liaodong steeds tethered beside them, and it was hard to imagine how difficult it would be to hide under the eyes of the Eight Banners.

"That's right, we are no worse than those gentlemen." A middle-aged woman who looked like an aunt picked up a whistle stick and responded to Aunt Wang's call.

In fact, the so-called weakness and the restraint of feudal ethics are mainly aimed at those ladies of the family and the women of the bourgeoisie.

Women like them who live in the countryside, whose parents were poor men who planed food in the land, have to do heavy labor every day, without stopping for a day, even when they are about to give birth, they have to work, either spinning or growing vegetables.

They can also do many things that men can do, and they will never dislike or reject them, because they are the children of a farming nation who grew up on the land and worked on the land from birth to death.

In film and television dramas, clean and beautiful clothes are something they have never even thought about in their life. Sometimes rags and tattered jackets are a luxury for them. The image of most women.

Thus, the Eight Banners Army who was chasing Xiangyong saw such a strange scene.

Hundreds of women and children aged [-] and [-] took up everything available around them as weapons, without orderly formation or loud slogans, and rushed towards them like a pack of wild wolves descending the mountain.

They have nothing, all they have is the blood in their hearts and the determination to die.

After all, watching one's own compatriots being brutally murdered, being killed like animals, even the most hard-hearted people can't bear it.

"Crazy, crazy, these ewes rushed towards us, do they want to let the old men have fun?" An Eight Banners soldier saw Wang Da Niang and the women and children behind her, couldn't hold back anymore, and suddenly laughed stand up.

"I haven't touched a woman for many days. If I really dozed off, I will give you a pillow." A horse-faced Eight Banners soldier said with a lewd smile.

However, his dream was destined to never come true, because Aunt Wang came up and threw a kitchen knife, which coincidentally hit the crotch.

This area was originally a weak area for armor defense, and the kitchen knife in Aunt Wang's hand was so heavy that it weighed more than two catties, and a puddle of blood dripped from the crotch of the Eight Banners soldier.

The horse-faced Eight Banners soldiers did not rush to resist, but Aunt Wang hit him in the face with another stick, knocking him down to the ground.

Seeing this situation, the surrounding Eight Banners soldiers knew that these women and children were difficult to deal with, so they immediately gave up their previous frivolous attitude and became serious.

The Eight Banners soldiers who had been chasing Xiangyong realized that there was a situation in the rear, and rushed to support their companions.

"Look, those Tartars have gone back!" A bold Xiangyong found that the voice of the Eight Banners soldiers shouting to kill disappeared behind him, so he boldly looked back.

"Really, a group of women and children are fighting with them." More and more Xiangyong found that Wang Da Niang and the Eight Banners soldiers were fighting.

"Brothers, if women and children can fight Tartars, we are old men, how can we escape? If it's a man, come back with me. If women and children don't leave, we won't leave either."

Out of his own conscience, a Xiangyong couldn't stand it any longer. A group of men ran away, but women and children were left behind. Is this still a man?
"Yes, yes." Some people responded to his call, turned and walked back.
