Ning Changrong and Ning Qingxi glanced at each other, "Gunpowder!" ”

They ran too fast, Ning Qingxi only carried a few packets of gunpowder on his body to deal with emergencies, and one jar of gunpowder had been transported to the back of the mountain, but there was still one jar left at home.

At this moment, there was a violent explosion below, presumably caused by those people who set fire to it indiscriminately.

They guessed correctly, the thieves who went to Ning Changrong's house to steal things made a mess of their house, and also carried out the grain and gunpowder in the cellar. After snatching the things, these people are planning to set fire to this place, and directly detonate all the gunpowder in that jar!

The thieves near Ning Changrong's house were all blown up, and only stumps and broken arms remained!

The sudden thunder on a sunny day alarmed the entire team of thieves.

"What's going on? Why is there thunder all of a sudden?! ”

"Is God blaming us?!"

Unlike the panicked bandof thieves, the rest of Xiayuan Village was ecstatic!

"It's the mountain god who is angry! Hahaha! You brutes will have retribution! ”

"Please take this group away!"

"Please save us!"

The leader of the thieves grabbed a man in surprise and asked, "What do you mean by the mountain god just now?" ”

"It's the god of the mountains! The mountain god of our Xia Yuan Village has appeared! ”

The leader of the thieves asked for a long time before he knew what these people meant.

Of course, he knew that what he was doing would be cut by a thousand cuts, and the ancients believed in theology, and they were also a little timid at this time, and the thieves stood still and did not dare to move again.

The leader of the thieves went to check on the place where the explosion occurred, and he found that the men near the house where the explosion occurred had all been blown up beyond recognition.

"There can't really be a mountain god, right?!" Seeing the tragic image of his companion, some people were afraid.

The leader was a little weak-hearted, his eyes flickered, and his color was fierce, "What a bullshit mountain god he is!" A few brothers are just unlucky! What kind of mountain god is there?! If only there were mountain gods who could let us grab it for so long."

In the end, the thieves were gone.

They also took away a lot of women, and the entire village has been robbed by them, leaving only Xiayuan Village, which is full of ruins and corpses.

Anyway, they have done what they should do, and since there are any mountain gods, then they will change villages.

……

Tessie County.

The man who came back on horseback to tell the news was at the gate.

The county order took most of the people away, and the biggest official position in the county is currently the county lieutenant.

Of course, there is also the five-pin chariot cavalry general in the military camp next to it, General Chen.

General Chen's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "What happened, you tell me carefully." ”

The messenger panicked, "The thieves have come here!" Today I followed the county commander to Taizhou Mansion together, and met the thieves who suddenly appeared on the way, and they directly broke up our team, and everyone was killed by the thieves, and I escaped with all my might! ”

"It's Hu Dadao's gang of thieves! The prefectural magistrate has been arrested by them! ”

Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly became frightened, "My lord, my lord, I'm afraid it's already ...... Already ......"

When General Chen heard this, his tone became urgent, "How many of them are there?" Do you see clearly? ”

"At that time, the situation was urgent, and the villain didn't have time to take a closer look, and there were about 3,000 people."

After asking about the information brought by the other party, General Chen thought for a moment and quickly issued a few orders.

Taixi County is a small county town, with only two city gates, if you only defend and do not attack, there are about 500 people under General Chen in the county, plus the county government officials, it is not a problem to hold on.

General Chen thought very well, as long as they refused to defend the city gate, those thieves would definitely go around if they couldn't attack for a long time.

Not long after he finished arranging, a large number of people rushed towards Taixi County!

The reason why it took so much time was because those thieves went all the way to rob and kill, and it took some time.

When the thief leader Hu Dadao brought people to arrive, Taixi County had already closed the gate.

The soldiers at the city gate looked at the overwhelming number of people below, and their hands holding knives trembled a little.

If it weren't for the Warlord in the back, some would have wanted to turn around and run.

General Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the thieves outside the city had assembled.

It seems that the person who reported the news did not lie to him, Hu Dadao's men and horses are indeed only two or three thousand, as long as they refuse to leave the city, and at the same time send people to report the news, presumably, Hu Dadao will not dare to spend it here all the time.

After all, if they don't leave, they may be surrounded by the officers and soldiers who have sent troops around them at any time.

Hu Dadao rode on horseback, looked at the city wall of Taixi County in front of him, squinted his eyes, and ordered the people below to camp on the spot.

General Chen saw that the gang of thieves in front of him had set up camp about two hundred paces in front of their city gate, but they didn't charge?

"General, what the hell are they doing?"

"Whatever they want to do, just guard the gates."

General Chen had heard of the name of Hu Dadao, who had risen from the north two months earlier to set up a counter-flag, and his men were all composed of a group of bandits, who were later chased by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and when they fled for their lives to the south, they also encircled many young people.

In the rebel ranks in the north, it can be regarded as a little famous.

Under the pursuit of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, the thieves gathered more and more, such a person, General Chen did not dare to underestimate, the other party's abnormal behavior made him a little uneasy.

To say that these people stopped to prepare to build siege equipment, but I didn't see any movement from them.

Looking at the smoke coming from their team, General Chen felt that this group of people was instead making a fire.

General Chen, who couldn't figure it out, could only curse in his heart, and he didn't know which bastard he had driven all the thieves to them!

Taizhou Mansion is such a rich place not to rob, but actually staring at their small place!

If Hu Dadao could hear it, he would definitely defend himself aggrievedly, although Taizhou Mansion was rich, it was not something that they could take.

Persimmon of course to pick a soft pinch.

At this time, the people in the city were already panicking.

Since the gate was closed, the whole street has started to be chaotic.

Some people took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and steal and rob.

Wang Xiujuan saw that the situation was not right, and immediately blocked the door of the store.

She hid in the back house with Lai Pozi, holding a repeating crossbow in her hand and a firearm at her waist, looking at the door in front of her vigilantly.

Lai Pozi was trembling with fright, and she was not in the mood to ask Wang Xiujuan where she got so many things, so she only dared to follow her closely.

I heard the chaos getting more and more chaotic outside, not only the screams of women, but also the roars of men, accompanied by violent smashing sounds.

The voice was getting closer and closer to them, and Wang Xiujuan heard a "bang".

It was supposed that their shop door had been kicked open.

Rushing into their shop was a group of ruffians who kicked the door open and rushed to the silver cabinet on the counter.

Several people smashed and robbed, and after touching the store, they saw that there was a door behind it.

It didn't take two or three clicks for the back door to be kicked open by a few ruffians.

But they were greeted by death!

"Whoosh!"

After Wang Xiujuan saw someone kicking open the door and rushing in, she shot an arrow directly at that person!

Although she was not trained, the size of a person was so big, and the distance between the two people was only ten steps, so she didn't need to aim, and shot directly into the man's stomach!

After seeing his companion fall to the ground, everyone else dodged Wang Xiujuan's arrow in horror.

"Get out!"

The group of ruffians, seeing that the little bow and arrow in the old lady's hand seemed to be able to fire, plus they had already robbed a lot of money in front, and there was a ready-made example lying on the ground, after hearing the voice, they didn't think about it, and retreated directly.
