In this heavy rain, Hu Gouyu and Qin Daniu, along with most of the panicked soldiers, ran towards the outside of the village. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info they are really scared! So I thought about leaving this nightmare land full of poisonous snakes.

During this time, people kept falling, and people kept coming in. Their feet were also soft, and they didn't know whether they were stepping on snakes or corpses. But they didn't dare to look down, and they didn't have time to look. I'm afraid that if I'm a step too late, I'll be captured by the snake demon who is making trouble.

At this time, the rain was so heavy that it hit people's faces like pebbles, and it hurt a little. This is the first time Hu Gou has felt pain, and it feels good. Because then you won't be like a dead person, you won't feel anything.

When they ran to the pass formed by the two peaks, there was a flash of fire in front of them. Then he saw a group of people carrying torches coming out from behind the peaks. Some people wanted to continue to rush forward, but the man who was holding the torch suddenly raised a long torch.

There was an instantaneous thumping sound, like fried beans.

The first few people who ran to the front immediately fell to the ground. By the light of the fire, Hu Gou Yu witnessed the whole process of the death of those people. Under the baptism of rain, the gushing blood poured into the wet ground.

Now, everyone doesn't dare to act rashly anymore.

This kind of scene is not only played out here. At various exits from the village to the outside world, soldiers were shot and killed, and then captured under the threat of death. It is also the excellent quality of the musket produced by Daming, otherwise it would have become a dumb gun under this downpour.

However, the rebel army was not equipped much, and there were only about sixty in total. When it was distributed, it was less than one percent of the total number of rebels. But it doesn't matter, this group of musketeers was also specially sent by the White Lotus Sect. The local Miao people don't know how to use muskets at all, and it's useless to give them to them.

By daybreak, the rain had already stopped, and a white mist began to rise in the mountains. Shi Liu Deng, who had been captured all night, couldn't take a break. Take the rebels and enter the village.

I saw that most of the tent had been burned, and the corpses were scattered among them, either lying on their backs or lying down. Some were burned to death, and some were bitten to death by poisonous snakes. More to be trampled to death! After all, it was dark last night, and the soldiers were panicking. With so many people huddled together, it is also the norm to be trampled to death.

And on these corpses, there are also poisonous snakes scattered together. There are those who are constantly wandering, and there are those who are stationary. I don't know if it's pretending to be dead or really dead.

Most of the villages that were enclosed in the middle of the tents were also destroyed. In particular, the outermost houses were destroyed by fire. Some Maonan people who have lived here for generations wept uncontrollably when they saw the village being destroyed like this.

There's no way around it! When the fire burns, it is no longer controlled. If it hadn't rained heavily last night, there might not have been anything left here.

But in the end, it was Shi Liu Deng who caused it. Therefore, he sent someone to tell the village chief of the Maonan people that if he was willing to go south with them, then the rebel army would settle down in the future, and he would definitely compensate the people in the village.

Anyway, the home is gone, and all the belongings are burned down. If you stay, you have nothing, so it's better to fight for a way out with the rebels. The village chief agreed to come down and was willing to take the villagers and go south with Shiliu Deng! And they are also afraid of the Qing army's retaliation! After all, they were leading the way for the rebels. Once found out, it's a thief!

That's a felony! In any case, there is no such thing as a capital offense.

At that moment, Shi Liu Deng asked them to clean up the battlefield with the rebels. Now the rebels lack everything, from the tents they live in to the clothes they wear. What needles and threads are extremely scarce in the rebel army.

So the people who clean are also very careful. The clothes of the Qing army were all stripped off. Even as small as a rag, I picked it up and took it back to sew and mend my clothes.

Although charred corpses and undead poisonous snakes were everywhere, the courage of the rebels was not small. In this pile of dead corpses, rummaging through them, searching for things that could be used.

In order to prevent being bitten by poisonous snakes, the rebels smeared their hands and feet with sulfur.

And it worked. Many venomous snakes that were hiding and pretending to be dead took the initiative to swim away after smelling this smell. The rebels were also not polite, found one, and killed one. According to Shi Liu Deng's instructions, the snake corpse was collected and brought back to make snake soup.

Along the way, the rebels didn't eat anything good. One meal a day, two dry meals, two thin meals. The head of the nest that is so hard that it is not bad is good. As for meat, it is extremely rare. Except for the occasional hit of a few prey, I saw a little oiliness. Other times, I didn't even see the meat noodles.

Though this viper is poisonous, isn't it also meat? As long as you can eat it, you won't die, and the rebels will not refuse to come.

Of course, there are other good things in the Qing barracks. For example, armor and weapons, which were urgently needed by the rebels. It was also just right to change their tattered clothes, put on this armor, and hold this weapon, and the whole person was also a lot more majestic.

lest it look like a group of dancing knives and sticks called Hanako.

What was even more surprising was that they found a large amount of grain and grass in the camp tent in the middle of the village. Judging by this scale, it is enough for them to eat 80,000 soldiers and civilians for seven or eight days. If you stick to it, you can eat it for a few more days. This is thanks to the timely rain last night, and the place where the grain and grass are stored is more appropriate. Otherwise, it will be scorched early.

In the tent, in addition to grain and grass, there are hundreds of live sheep, nearly 100 stout cattle, and more than 1,000 ownerless horses. They are all kept in captivity, avoiding the fate of being reduced to barbecue.

Next to this tent, there is also a tent for storing firearms. There are several Hongyi cannons produced in the Qing Dynasty, which were built in the 38th year of Qianlong and took more than ten years. But it still looks like it's still half-new.

This made Shi Liu Deng very happy. He had heard from the messenger that this cannon was a weapon for attacking the city and killing the enemy! If it is used by the righteous army, then in the face of the Qing army, there is no need to dodge and dodge like this. It's just a pity that this gun is too bulky. It takes effort and time to move. In addition, the road conditions here are too unsatisfactory, so Shiliu Deng can only let people destroy the artillery.

When all the collection was completed, Shiliu Deng and them, with 12,000 rebels, nearly 10,000 prisoners, carrying heavy supplies, returned to Koudong Town. Among these captives, not all of them were Qing soldiers. There are more than 5,000 people, who are recruited to transport supplies. However, if you are caught with the Qing army, you can only become a prisoner.

Some others fled to the nearby barren caves. After all, there is more than one road connecting the outside of the village. Shiliu Deng and the others also considered manpower and safety, so they could only handle all the main exits, and it was impossible to cover everything. Besides, it was dark last night, and it was troublesome to arrest it.

When he returned to Koudong Town, the White Lotus Sect envoy Xu Lan was also very excited. Especially when he saw Shi Liu Deng come back with so many supplies, he was also relieved. These more than 80,000 people only eat a handful of rice every day, which adds up to a huge amount.

And they only have enough food to eat for a day or two. There are more than 1,000 miles away from the next relief point - Zhuali Sidu (Bama). There are good grain and grass hoarded by the White Lotus Sect and the Heaven and Earth Society, waiting for them to stop by and get it. This is also the help strategy that they have long formulated. But at the current rate, in a day or two, it will definitely not be able to catch up.

It was for this reason that he couldn't sleep all the time.

Fortunately, the return of Shiliu Deng happened to solve the urgent need.
