There were also a few shells near the Eight Immortals Cave, which blew up some mud houses around the Eight Immortals Cave, and the Eight Immortals Cave was also blown down a corner, which is okay, there is no one living here, and it has to be retreated anyway, even if it is razed to the ground, it doesn't matter.

However, a few shells landed on the slope of the hill near the southwest pass, and the rocks on the hill rolled down one after another, injuring several brothers who were about to descend the mountain, and scattering the large group of men and horses who were descending the mountain in turn, and everyone fled in all directions to avoid the attack of the shells and stones.

The mountain road of this pass in the southwest is narrow and steep, and it can only be passed one by one, and there are many guns and ammunition, gold and silver, grain and forage and other important baggage transported down the mountain, it can be said that all the wealth accumulated by Yunwu Mountain over the years is here, so the team marches slowly, and an hour has passed, and only less than half of the people have gone down the mountain.

And there was a sudden bombardment at the bottom of the mountain, and there were stones splashing and rolling down, disrupting the order of the descent, and a few brothers who were descending the mountain were so frightened that they rolled down the mountain. When the others saw this, their legs were so frightened that they didn't know whether to move forward or retreat, and the pass was suddenly in chaos.

The sixth hurriedly reorganized the team, counted the number of people, and found that thirty or forty people were missing, including Xiuqin's mother and daughter and Mr. Ling's wife Xue Yingmei.

"Have you seen your sister-in-law?" The sixth brother walked up to Xiang Zuo and asked eagerly.

Xiang Zuo also hid behind a small hill in order to avoid shells and rocks just now, and when he heard this, he also became anxious, and hurriedly looked around, but there were some broken stones all around.

"Sister-in-law, like frost." Xiang Zuo anxiously shouted around, but no one answered.

"Sixth, you lead the large army down the mountain first, and I'll stay and look for them." Xiang Zuo proposed.

"I'll stay too." Xiang You ran to his brother's side, "Sixth, my brother and I will go to find my sister-in-law, you take everyone to go first, don't let Mr. Xie wait below." ”

"Okay, the sister-in-law will be handed over to you, after finding them, hurry down the mountain." After the sixth man gave an order, he turned around and went to direct everyone to go down the mountain.

"Brother, you go to the east, I'll look west, I don't think they can go far."

"Okay, let's look separately, and we'll meet here when we find it."

Xiang Zuo and Xiang You looked for Xiuqin's mother and daughter and Xue Yingmei in two directions respectively.

When the shells landed on the small hillside near the southwest pass, the stones splashed and rolled down, scaring everyone to find a place to hide, such as a frost man and a little alert, and hurriedly hid behind a boulder, Xiuqin saw that her daughter had left the team, and hurriedly followed, and Xue Yingmei's task was to protect the safety of Xiuqin's mother and daughter, so she also ran over.

"Mother, I know that there is a place that is very hidden, and no amount of shells can get in, so let's hide there." Rushuang remembered the Devil's Cave at Tianlong Waterfall.

That was when Yunlin just went up the mountain, the two went to play when they accidentally found the cave, the cave was very dark, the two babies felt very scared in it, and after coming out, they named this hole the Devil's Cave.

No one had ever been to this cave before, and after they found it, they regarded it as a little secret and didn't tell anyone else, in fact, Rushuang mentioned it to his father that day because he was afraid, but Leng Jinqiu also heard about it and didn't take it to heart, and when Peng Ruofei first drew the map, Yunlin and Rushuang took him to see this cave on the spot, so this cave is like frost, Peng Ruofei and his son have come in person.

Rushuang didn't wait for Xiuqin to answer, and ran towards the Devil's Cave in a puff of smoke, Xiuqin had to chase after her, and Yingmei had to follow closely behind their mother and daughter.

Rushuang climbed the boulder at the entrance of the cave, and then pulled Xiuqin and Yingmei up together.

"Frost, where is there a cave here?" Xiuqin stood on the boulder and looked around.

The entrance to the cave was blocked by boulders, and there were some vines next to it, so it was impossible to tell that this was a cave. The other exit from the cave is in the northwest corner of the cave, next to an ancient tree, obscured by leaves and branches, from where Yunlin fell in the first place.

"Here we are!" Rushuang turned around, picked up some vines, and then carefully turned sideways and squeezed hard, and Rushuang's small figure disappeared in the vines.

Rushuang was small, so she quickly got in, but Xiuqin and Yingmei were both adults, and it was not easy to drill, but it was okay, the two of them broke the vine hard, and finally got in, and the vine immediately closed and returned to its original state.

Then Rushuang led the two of them through several large rocks next to them as steps, and finally jumped into the cave.

"Mother, Aunt Yingxue, you see, is it safe here?" Rushuang proudly shows off her findings to Xiuqin and Yingmei.

There was a faint light at the entrance of the cave, and the rumbling of cannon outside was much quieter.

"Well, this place is a hiding place." Xiuqin looked around and felt that this place was very secret.

"Let's stay here for the time being, and when there is no more gunfire outside, we'll go out." Yingmei suggested.

Xiuqin's mother and daughter both nodded in agreement.

The three of them stayed in the cave for a while, and Yingmei couldn't hear the sound of the cannon outside, so she decided to go outside to see the movement first.

"Xiuqin, otherwise, you stay in this cave with Rushuang first, and I'll go outside to take a look, in case the sixth brother and they come to us, someone will let them know." Yingmei was worried that they wouldn't be able to find them, so she had to go out and contact them.

"Otherwise, I'll go out, I'm still more familiar with this mountain road than you." Xiuqin was afraid that Yingmei was not familiar with the mountain road, so she volunteered to go out to find the sixth child.

"I'd better go out, it's safer here, and I'll come back to you when there is no more gunfire outside." After Yingmei finished speaking, she climbed the boulder without saying a word. Emerging from the vines and walking the way she came, she knew that her mission was to protect Xiuqin's mother and daughter.

At this time, Lu Keming under the mountain couldn't wait, he gave the order to attack the mountain, and ordered the whole regiment to attack Yunwu Mountain.

The soldiers below the hill climbed up the hill while shooting aimlessly and throwing grenades. Most of the dozen or so brothers guarding the southern pass had been killed by the round of shelling just now. Now there were only four or five left, including Scar, and they fought and retreated, retreating to the second line of defense, the Qingquan Bridge.

Peng Ruofei organized manpower to block at the front end of the Qingquan Stone Bridge, and arranged snipers on the big trees on both sides of the stone bridge.

Lu Keming's third regiment attacked fiercely, and after conquering the southern pass, he divided into two routes with Dai Tianxu's soldiers, and he led his troops to pursue the surviving pass guards all the way, while Dai Tianxu led other soldiers to search for the bandits' lair.

Lu Keming's brigade approached in the direction of Qingquan Bridge, Peng Ruofei calmly observed, and when the pursuers approached and were within range of the rifle, he gave the order to open fire. In an instant, under the stone bridge, the snipers on the big tree opened fire one after another, and Lu Keming's men and horses suddenly became live targets, and they were shot and fell.

"Lie down." Lu Keming shouted, and he immediately fell to the ground, he didn't expect to encounter an ambush on this flat hillside.

"Heavy of the Machine Gunner." Luke shouted behind him.

Two soldiers ran to Lu Kemin's side with a heavy machine gun.

"Aim at the trees and the side of the bridge, and hit me hard."

Lu Keming commanded the machine gunner to shoot at the sniper's position, and the machine gunner swept towards these places, and two snipers were hit, one fell from a tree and died, and the other fell directly into the lake, the lake water was red with blood.

Peng Ruofei threw a grenade at the enemy position, the machine gunner was wounded, and a soldier next to him hurriedly stepped up and continued to shoot in the direction of Qingquan Bridge.

Four or five more brothers were hit by machine guns, Peng Ruofei saw that the number of people on this line of defense was seriously reduced, and there were only seven or eight brothers left, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, it had been two hours since the retreat of the large army, and he estimated that about two-thirds of the personnel had already gone down the mountain, so he decided to abandon this line of defense and retreat towards the third line of defense.
