Chen Qingfu burst out laughing when he heard this.
While laughing, he yelled: "It's saved, it's saved, we're fucking alive."
Smiling and laughing, tears flowed down.
Too many of them died.
He didn't know how many of the peasant soldiers who escaped were still alive, but among the peasant soldiers who chose to stay with him, only the few around him were still alive.
"Survived, survived."
Several peasants and soldiers hugged each other, and they shed tears of excitement after surviving the disaster.
"Help me up." Chen Qingfu raised his uninjured arm and motioned to the peasants and soldiers around him to help him.
The peasants and soldiers on the side came up and one of them helped him by one arm and lifted him up from the ground.
hiss!
As soon as he exerted force on the injured leg, Chen Qingfu took a breath of heart-wrenching pain, his feet went soft, and his body fell to one side.
The peasants and soldiers on the side quickly supported him.
"Help me over." Chen Qingfu knew that it would be difficult to walk a few steps on his own, so he pointed to a location not far away and asked the peasants and soldiers around him to help him over.
The two peasants and soldiers were not injured, and they supported him one on the left and the other on the right.
Limping to Wu Tong's body, he motioned to the peasants and soldiers around him to let go, and then he slowly sat next to the body.
The man had been dead for a while, and the wound on his chest stopped bleeding, leaving only the arrow still stuck in it.
Chen Qingfu wiped the blood on the corner of Wu Tong's mouth with his sleeve and said, "Mayor, why don't you just hold on for a little longer? You won't have to die when our reinforcements arrive. Why are you so anxious?"
As he spoke, his tone was full of pathos.
"Captain, don't be sad. If the mayor knew that the reinforcements had arrived, he would have died with no regrets." The peasant soldiers on the side looked at Chen Qingfu's sad look and couldn't help but persuade him.
Chen Qingfu waved his hand towards the peasant soldier and continued to say to Wu Tong's body: "We agreed that as long as I survive, you will send me to that school. Now that I have survived, you are no longer here. You... Liar, big liar, you fooled me about going to school to do academic things."
The peasants and soldiers on the side saw Chen Qingfu talking to himself in front of the corpse and knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, so they stopped trying to persuade him and chose to stay with him.
tread! tread! tread!
As Chen Qingfu spoke to Wu Tong's body, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.
Soon, a dozen cavalrymen came over.
The two peasant soldiers guarding Chen Qingfu looked nervous, grabbed the weapons on the ground, and looked at the people riding over with vigilance.
Chen Qingfu looked up and noticed the attire of the person who came. He recognized that he was a cavalry member of the Tiger Flag, and said to the peasants and soldiers beside him: "Don't be nervous, we are one of our own."
Hearing his explanation, the peasant soldiers next to him secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are you?"
A group of cavalry surrounded them, and each cavalry gun was aimed at Chen Qingfu and the peasant soldiers.
Chen Qingfu picked up the spear next to Wu Tong's body and used it as a stick. He punched it on the ground and stood up from the ground with difficulty.
He looked at the tiger-shaped flag cavalry in front of him and said, "We are farmers and soldiers nearby. Mayor Wu led us here to block the official cavalry."
"It turns out it's you! Where's Mayor Wu?" The cavalry on horseback showed a smile, looking around at the peasant soldiers, trying to find out which one was Mayor Wu.
"Mayor Wu!"
Chen Qingfu repeated this in his mouth, and he and the peasants and soldiers around him looked down at the corpses on the ground.
The cavalry on horseback noticed their gazes and followed them.
When he saw the body on the ground, he already had a guess in his mind. He immediately jumped off the horse, walked to Wu Tong's body in a few steps, leaned down, looked at the body and said, "Could he be Mayor Wu?" ?”
As he said that, he looked at Chen Qingfu for confirmation.
Chen Qingfu nodded sadly and said: "In order to allow the peasants and soldiers to fire their muskets one more time, Mayor Wu personally stood in front of the enemy cavalry, and was shot in the chest by an arrow from the enemy cavalry."
"Go well, Mayor Wu. We will avenge you." The cavalryman said, looking at Wu Tong's somewhat blue face.
After hearing this, Chen Qingfu asked: "Did you drive away those enemy cavalry?"
"Hmph, don't worry, they can't escape." A cold look appeared on the cavalry's face.
"Thank you, Master Jun, for helping us take revenge."
A peasant soldier on the side knelt down towards the cavalry in front of him, and several other peasant soldiers also knelt down together.
"Get up quickly, you are trying to defeat me by kneeling down. This battle is only possible because of your persistence here." The cavalryman hurriedly reached out to help a few peasant soldiers.
Several peasants and soldiers stood up.
The cavalryman looked at Chen Qingfu again and said, "I see that you are injured. Why don't you go back with me first and find a doctor to treat your injuries? Don't delay it for too long and it becomes serious."
Chen Qingfu nodded.
Although the arrow did not hurt his vitals, such an injury would be fatal if not treated properly. Now he just hoped that there was no dirt on the arrow.
"You also come back with us! Our people will arrange for these peasants and soldiers who died in the battle." The cavalry said to several peasants and soldiers.
Being able to be protected by cavalry and having safety guaranteed, naturally no one would refuse.
"In addition to a few of us, some peasant soldiers escaped. Did you encounter them when you came here?" Chen Qingfu asked about the whereabouts of the peasant soldiers who had escaped before.
Hearing this, the face of the cavalry in front of him became clouded, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Only a dozen people were still alive when we arrived."
"Ah! How could this happen?" Chen Qingfu's expression changed.
He remembered that there were at least forty or fifty peasants and soldiers who escaped at that time.
The cavalryman said in a deep voice: "When we arrived, many peasant soldiers had been killed by the enemy cavalry, and a dozen of them were barely saved."
Chen Qingfu felt a pain in his heart.
There were over a hundred peasants and soldiers, but now there were less than twenty left.
Chen Qingfu was injured and was carried on a horse. Several other peasant soldiers also rode on the same horse as the cavalry.
It's not that there are no rich horses for them to ride, but these peasants and soldiers can't ride horses and can only be led by cavalry.
Chen Qingfu and several peasant soldiers were carried out of the village on horseback by the cavalry of the Tiger Flag.
Only then did he see corpses scattered all over the ground near the entrance of the village.
Most of the corpses were dressed in the clothes of ordinary people like peasants and soldiers, and only a few corpses were dressed as enemy cavalry.
"These peasants and soldiers are all good, and the general will not let them die in vain." The cavalryman riding on the same horse as Chen Qingfu said to him.
He admired these farmers and soldiers very much.
With a strength of more than a hundred people, these peasant soldiers delayed hundreds of cavalry from the government army in this village for more than half a day. However, these peasant soldiers had only been trained for more than a month. A month ago, they were just a group of ordinary people. common people.
Chen Qingfu slowly closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look anymore.
When we were together in the morning, there were still living lives, but now they have turned into cold corpses.
