The officers and troops arrived earlier than expected.

In the early morning, the sun has just come out of the mountain, there is wind, slightly cool, it is a good time.

Zhiwen took everyone to practice spear stabbing skills, and as soon as he was sweaty, Niuniu screamed.

"Brother Zhiwen, what's wrong in the village?"

Zhiwen turned around and saw billowing black smoke coming out of both ends of the village in the mountain col, and after it gradually faded, yellow flames came out and began to devour the houses.

Zhiwen used his vision to see the situation in the village more clearly.

The officers and soldiers had blocked both ends of the village at some point, and each set a fire, and in order to prevent the villagers from escaping, there were more than ten cavalry roaming around the village.

The fire was raging, and as soon as the villagers in the house ran out crying for their fathers and mothers, they were cut to the ground by soldiers wearing blue and black rivet jackets and black helmets waiting at the door, and their heads were cut off and hung around their waists.

Blood bubbled up from his neck, quickly turning the ground red, then dried by the heat and turned black.

"Shhhh ”

The others didn't have such good eyesight as Zhiwen, and when they heard this, their faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly lay down in the grass.

The family was in the middle of the village, and when he heard the movement and ran out of the house, he saw that the officers and soldiers were all panicked, and then he remembered that last night it was not to borrow grain, but to grab grain, and seeing that both ends of the road were blocked, there was the brave one, who rushed towards the officers and soldiers with a hoe in his hand, wanting to fight hard.

But where is the farmer the opponent of these soldiers, the officers and soldiers are useless even bows and crossbows, most of them are stabbed through the spear before they reach the other party, and those who are lucky enough to avoid the spear, and a few steps forward, they are also cut down by the soldiers with knives and hoes, and the soldiers with high martial arts kick people to the ground, and then slowly step forward to harvest the head.

The streets were soon filled with headless corpses, and the soldiers had human heads around their waists, blood still dripping down their necks, splattering the blood on the ground.

I didn't dare to desperately turn around and run back to the courtyard, buckle the threshold, and move the cart and wooden cabinet behind the door, hoping that it would work.

The officers and soldiers obviously did not take these villagers into account, and slowly cleaned up the desperate stunned youths, and then stepped on the blood and water of the stalls, along the streets, and broke into the doors one by one.

"Xiao Zhi, what... What to do? Xiao Yingniang's voice trembled, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

Although she didn't see as clearly as Zhiwen, the raging fires and a few short and poignant screams from sporadic also let Xiao Yingniang know that the situation was not good.

"Don't be in a hurry, let's see, Aunt Song." Zhiwen was very calm, he counted the number of officers and soldiers, and there were only about a hundred people, and he didn't even see a general, it was estimated that it was a team leader, of course, it may be that he didn't know the difference between the military uniforms of the Ming army.

These people, blocking both ends of the village, can kill all the people who stay in the village, but if you want to search the mountains and wipe out the whole village, it is obviously not enough, at most you can go to your own cave and sweep it again.

Thinking of this, Zhiwen glanced at the cave, but saw more than a dozen figures, some old and some young, coming up from the foot of the mountain and rushing towards the cave, it was his uncle's family.

Last night, Zhiwen entered their yard, only looked for Zheng Er, and left after telling his thoughts, as for whether they listened or not, it didn't matter.

Now it seems that I still listened to it, it was late last night, and it was difficult to leave, at least this morning before the officials and soldiers blocked the village at both ends, they had already left the village and walked to the foot of the mountain, otherwise they would not be able to escape.

The people who lived in the cave had also heard the movement in the village at this time, and most of them gathered on the slope in front of the door and looked down without saying a word.

After a while, Zheng Si's family also ran to the slope, panting for breath while looking in the direction of the village.

Zhiwen hesitated to remind those who lived in the cave, including his uncle's family, that it would be safer for them to leave the vicinity of the cave and the surrounding mountains.

Now the angle and line of sight here are very good, he can see clearly, half of the officers and soldiers have left manpower to continue to kill, and the other half has begun to form a team, it seems that they are preparing to go to the cave to clear it, and those caves can still be seen in the village.

At this time, two people walked out of the path behind the cave mountain, a man and a woman, their clothes were hung in tatters by thorns, and their hair was messy.

Now Zhiwen was a little flustered. Seeing that the official army was about to go to the cave to clear up, Zheng San and his wife just went into the mouth of the tiger and returned to the cave.

Without too much hesitation, Zhiwen confessed to Xiao Yingniang: "You guys are lying here, don't move, don't make a sound, there are few officers and soldiers, and you can't find here, I'll go down to the cave and let the villagers run into the mountains." "I didn't dare to tell Nan Nan that he saw his father, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stay here.

After saying that, he got out of the grass and ran quickly in the direction of the cave.

However, Zheng San and his wife came to the door of the cave from behind the mountain, and saw a large group of people on the slope stretching their necks to look down, and couldn't help but be curious, and came behind everyone and asked, "You... What is this for? ”

Everyone turned around and saw that it was Zheng San and his wife, someone was waiting to reply, and they didn't want Zhiwen Niang to see that Zheng Si was also among them, so she let out a scream and rushed to Zheng Si and beat him headlessly.

Old man Zheng's face changed, "Third brother, take care of your mother-in-law, don't recruit the official army, when is this, second brother, fifth sister, you go to help, get her into the cave first." ”

Although Zheng San didn't know the whole story, he saw the faces of the crowd, faintly heard the screams under the mountain, and knew that the situation was urgent, so he and Zheng Er and the fifth sister together got Zhiwen Niang into the cave.

The old man saw that the people around him looked like they were watching a good show, his face was a little unbearable, he coughed, and said, "It's all gone, the officers and soldiers are about to come up, everyone don't go back to pack up their things and run quickly." ”

After saying that, he was embarrassed to stay where he was, and fled with his family towards Zheng San's cave.

The people around them woke up like a dream, some of them were timid and anxious, and they didn't go home, so they ran towards the mountain, and more people, including Dazhu's parents and Dani's family, still couldn't let go of the little things at home, and went home to pack their things.

The group of officers and soldiers in the village under the mountain was already lined up in an irregular line, heading towards the cave.

By the time the officer and army brigade stepped onto the mountain road, the small slope was empty.

At this time, Zhiwen ran half the way and just reached the other side of the mountain where the cave was located.

At the foot of the mountain here, the leading officers and soldiers suddenly shook a few times, and one of them stumbled and was about to fall.

The soldiers who followed closely behind were about to open their mouths to mock, early in the morning, they hadn't drunk yet, so they were drunk?

I didn't want to shake my feet for a while, and I couldn't stand still, and I fell down several times at once, and the rest were also swaying.

"The earth dragon rolls over! The earth dragon turned over!! Some of the officers and soldiers screamed loudly and shouted loudly, and the rest were all lying on the ground.

There are several small hills around, and the steep places are sparsely falling down with gravel and clods, and the little Yingniang who is in the grass at the entrance of the cave should not be frightened, but fortunately, they are lying on the ground, not afraid of falling, and the terrain is also high, not afraid of falling down with gravel.

Zhiwen was in the air, and when he was about to land, he felt that the ground was not static, but like a suffocated bamboo suddenly popping out in the bamboo forest, it shook violently, and the direction he was moving was deviated.

Earthquake!!!

Zhiwen had to stop, now it was like being in a violently bumpy carriage, it was good to be able to barely move around.

Although he knew that it was an earthquake, there were no rockfalls around, and Zhiwen was anxious about his father, so he did not stop, but reluctantly continued to move forward.

After walking five or six steps, the ground shook violently, Zhiwen could no longer maintain his balance, and just fell to the ground, and then there was a loud bang from the front, and the hill in front of him was all a little shorter, and the broken stone and soil blocks kept falling.
