From Bozhou to Qizhou, you must first pass through Gaotang Prefecture, although you have not received the military information from Gaotang Prefecture for help, but Gaotang Prefecture is very close to Qizhou, but it is only more than 100 miles away, since Qizhou has fallen into a heavy siege, Gaotang Prefecture has no reason to be affected by anything, Zheng Fei is also very Wu Song and Gaotang Prefecture's safety, so he decided to take a little detour to Gaotang Prefecture to see the situation first,

As a result, not long after entering Gaotang Prefecture, he saw billowing black smoke billowing from the sky above a village, which was completely the kind of black smoke that can only appear when a large area was burned, Zheng Fei couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and immediately changed the direction of travel and rushed towards the village first, but before he arrived at the village, he had already found more than a dozen dead corpses on the side of the road in the fields on the outskirts of the village, all of them died from knife and gun wounds, men, women and children, and there was even the body of a child who was at most five or six years old!

Who did it, even the children were killed! All the soldiers of the Heavenly Dao Army were angry, and Hu Sanniang looked at the child's body with angry apricot eyes!

The answer must be in that village! As Zheng Fei gave an order, he led the cavalry brigade to rush towards the village!

As a result, as we got closer to the village, more and more corpses of the people were found, and not a single wounded person was among them! It shows how vicious the perpetrator must be!

Finally, Zheng Fei led the cavalry brigade to rush into the village, and everything in front of him shocked every Heavenly Dao Army soldier!

I saw that the village was already covered with blood, and the ground was covered with the dead bodies of the people, men, women, and children, and no one was spared. And the deeper they went into the village, the denser the corpses became, indicating that the people had been concentrated in the depths of the village during their lifetimes. Judging from the messy horseshoe prints next to their fallen corpses and the direction in which most of them fell outside the village, they must have tried desperately to escape before they died, but in the end they did not escape the pursuit of the people who attacked them on horseback, although some people ran outside the village, but they were still caught up and killed!

When they came to the center of the village, a scene that made everyone even angrier appeared ......, only to see the corpses of five people hanging from a big tree at the entrance of the village, black military uniforms, familiar costumes, that is...... The remains of five Heavenly Dao Army soldiers! Not only had they been hanged from a tree, but each of their calves and arms had been brutally cut off, and their faces were covered with excruciating pain, showing that the inhumane torture that had been done to them was ...... while they were alive!

Zheng Fei's heart was dripping blood, and his whole body was trembling with almost irrepressible anger, he couldn't imagine who would do such a poisonous thing to these defenseless people, why would he torture his own soldiers so cruelly!

Hu Sanniang finally couldn't help but fall into Zheng Fei's arms and cry, Zheng Fei stretched out his trembling hand and patted her back gently, staring at Pang Wanchun and the others who were also extremely sad and angry, and gritted his teeth, "Put the five brothers down first, okay...... Lay them buried first, and then search the whole village carefully to see if there are any survivors! ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The bodies of the five people were quickly carefully placed on the ground, these are five young faces, their eyes are still slightly open, and they are not blind, Zheng Fei has never seen these five people before, and he may never have the opportunity to know their names in the future, but these five faces of tragic death will be imprinted in his heart forever!

Zheng Fei slowly squatted down, stretched out his trembling hands to close their eyes one by one, and said in a voice suppressed with infinite anger as low as an oath, "Five brothers, you go with the people who died miserably here, and I will definitely avenge your revenge!" ”

After that, Zheng Fei stood up, breathed two long sighs of relief, and tried to calm his mind, but only one voice echoed in his head, who did this?!

Could it be that something is going on? It is impossible, all the strongmen and bandits on Jingxi Road have either been eradicated in the past six months, or have been subordinated to the Heavenly Dao Army, and the prefectures and counties have been rid of bandits for a long time.

Could it be that the officers and soldiers did it?! It's just that this place is located in the depths of Gaotang Prefecture, how can officers and soldiers reach here? Don't...... Gaotang Prefecture has been lost? It's that Gaotang Prefecture really lost and let the officers and soldiers kill here, but didn't they come to "rescue" the people? Why do you want to do this to the people......?!

At this moment, I suddenly heard an angry shout from a distance, "Who is it?!" Come out! ”

Zheng Fei and Hu Sanniang immediately ran in the direction where the sound came, only to see that in front of a house that had been burned down, several soldiers were vigilantly surrounding a well in front of the house.

"What's going on?" Pang Wanchun stepped forward and asked,

One of them saluted and said, "Report to the division commander, a few of us are searching for survivors here, and when we look into the well, we happen to see a head in the middle of the well retracted, and there must be a secret passage hiding people in this well!" ”

Zheng Fei's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately remembered that he had successfully blackmailed Zengtou City by digging a tunnel with the wall of the well, and the people who could hide in this well at this moment might be the surviving people here!

Zheng Fei immediately nodded towards Pang Wanchun, and Pang Wanchun came to the mouth of the well and shouted, "Listen, the people in the well, we are not bad people, come out!" ”

But there was no sound in the well,

Pang Wanchun shouted tentatively again, "Hurry up and reply, or we will completely block the wellhead!" ”

Finally, a faint and trembling voice came from inside the well, "Don't ......! You guys...... Who is it? ”

"We are the Heavenly Dao Army!"

"Really...... It's true? ”

"Don't believe you're poking your head out and looking at what I'm wearing!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a person cautiously poking out a head from the wall of the well more than a foot down the well, Pang Wanchun immediately leaned forward, only to see that the person looked at the black military uniform that Pang Wanchun was wearing, and actually cried out all of a sudden, crying while saying, "It's them, it's really the Heavenly Dao Army, woo...... We were saved......! ”

Subsequently, with the assistance of the Heavenly Dao Army, the people in the well climbed up one by one, and there were seven or eight people, all dressed as ordinary people, men, women and children, and they came outside to see the tragic situation outside, all of them were crying and dying, but one of the middle-aged men who was about forty years old seemed to have better self-control, and although he wiped his tears, he still knew how to persuade others,

Zheng Fei came up to the man and asked, "This big brother, please tell me what happened here, and who killed so many civilians and my five soldiers?" ”

The man wiped his tears vigorously, and then he said with grief and indignation,

It turns out that this village is called Houli Village, and there are more than 100 households in the village with a total of more than 300 people, which is also a big village.

Yesterday evening, the villagers had just had dinner and were chilling at the entrance of the village, when they suddenly saw five soldiers of the Tiandao Army running from the entrance of the village, these five people are no strangers to the villagers, that is, the five of them were responsible for the land reform of Houli Village, and they came to the village to deal with everything on weekdays, which was respected and loved by the village names.

As soon as the villagers greeted them, they found that they were all injured, and they looked very panicked, and hurriedly asked them what had happened.

They said that many officers and soldiers were chasing them and wanted to ask the villagers to help hide them.

Everyone knows that there is a war going on now, although they are surprised how the officers and soldiers could come here, but how can the Heavenly Dao Army ignore the call for help? Everyone hid the five soldiers in the cellar of an abandoned house, and soon after they were hidden, hundreds of officers and soldiers rushed into the village, and asked the villagers viciously if they had seen five "Liangshan bandits" pass here.

Of course, everyone said that they had never seen it, but some of those officers and soldiers insisted that they had never come out again since they saw those five people enter the village, and they must have been hiding in the village.

But the officers and soldiers still did not believe it, so they drove all the villagers out of their homes and gathered in the center of the village, and then began to search from house to house.

Later, the officers and soldiers had almost looted the money and property of the villagers' homes, and everyone was relieved to see that the five people were about to leave, but who expected, suddenly heard a person in the crowd shouting, "I know where the Liangshan thieves are!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked at it, they knew that something bad was wrong, it turned out that the person who spoke was the youngest son of Li Jinya, the rich man of the original village, the land that the Li family had won by forcible robbery over the years was divided in the land reform, and Li Jinya was also executed, and his youngest son Li Baokun was exonerated because he was young and did not do anything bad, and he stayed in the village after dividing a piece of land, and since then he has honestly not caused trouble, everyone thinks that he is not a bad person, who expected that he has been waiting for the opportunity to take revenge!

Then, Li Baokun really led the officers and soldiers to search for five Heavenly Dao Army soldiers, and the next ......, the officers and soldiers brutally began to torture the five Heavenly Dao Army soldiers in front of everyone, in the process, although the five soldiers all let out a burst of screams, none of them surrendered and begged for mercy. And the people of the whole village could only bow their heads sadly and weep ......,

The nightmare has officially begun......!
