Crossing the famine, relying on a spiritual spring to support the entire village

The soldiers fled in all directions. Strangely, the closer they got to the village, the less the snakes dared to approach.

Gradually, the people from the back mountain came to the wall of Axe Village, and the poisonous snakes were still approaching slowly.

"There's a dog hole here! Go in quickly and leave through the front door!" Someone suddenly found a dog hole blocked by a wooden board in the corner of the wall. The board was kicked open lightly and he was ecstatic. He was saved!

"Go in quickly! Oh my god!" The man screamed and cut off the poisonous snake that was about to bite him with a knife.

The officers and soldiers rushed to the dog hole as if they had discovered a new world, but there were too many people and only one person could pass through the dog hole.

The officers and soldiers found that the poisonous snakes on the side stopped moving forward when they reached the corner of the village, and circled in circles.

"Hurry! Enter the stronghold, poisonous snakes can't get into the stronghold!" Someone shouted. Many officers and soldiers noticed this phenomenon and became more eager to rush into the stronghold, climb on the person in front of them and jump directly down from the high wall of the stronghold.

Once there is one, there are countless others. The desire to survive is so strong that there is no time to think about why the venomous snake cannot enter the village.

Pushing and pushing, some of the weaker ones were directly pushed into the fangs of the venomous snakes...

After half an hour of hard work, half of the officers and soldiers stayed outside the stronghold wall and became food for the poisonous snakes, half stepped on the corpses of their companions to enter the stronghold, and a small number came in through the dog hole.

Everyone was still terrified as they looked at the pile of corpses of their companions outside the dog hole, and a group of venomous snakes twisting their bodies and crawling up and down. However, every time they approached the dog hole, they seemed to be afraid of something and immediately turned their heads away.

This made them feel a little relieved, but they were still terrified.

The snakes' attack made them forget the purpose of coming to Axe Village. They almost died, so how could they think about anything else?

At this time, at the gate of Axe Village, although Chen Shitou was so angry that he didn't kill Su Nian'an, he was sure that burning down Axe Village would not leave a single person alive, so he simply stood at the gate and waited for time to pass.

When the sun was above his head, Chen Shitou's blood began to boil. This was a feeling he had never experienced before, nervous and exciting.

"Guys! Light up the arrows!" Chen Shitou shouted, echoing throughout the Axe Mountain.

The soldiers were divided into two groups, one was responsible for launching the rocket, and the other was responsible for lighting the wooden arrow dipped in oil and passing it to the person in front.

"Fire arrows!"

At Chen Shitou's command, countless flames flew up into the sky, and then in a perfect curve, they fell on every corner of Axe Village like a meteor shower.

Instantly, flames broke out, and rockets hit the wooden house and the haystack, which had not been irrigated by rain for many years and was so dry that it would catch fire easily.

The moment the soldiers who came in from the dog hole saw the rocket, their faces turned frighteningly pale, just as pale as when they had just seen the poisonous snake.

Only two words came to their mind.

"It's over!"

They're finished!

This time I came here to burn down the Axe Village. When I was forced in by the venomous snake just now, I had no time to think about it.

They began to shout, hoping to get their companions to stop launching rockets.

"Stop! Stop! We are one!"

"Help!"

"We are the county government officers and soldiers!"

"Stop shooting arrows!"

"..."

But their shouts sounded like the screams and pleas for mercy of bandits to Chen Shitou and the officers and soldiers outside.

Chen Shitou's initial doubts about the silence of the village disappeared instantly. No one knew his original identity anymore. He was now the governor's coach of the Geli County Yamen.

Chu Ruohuai, standing on the treetop, watched everything that happened with cold eyes. If they had not been prepared, they would be the ones crying and dying in the sea of ​​fire in the mountain village!

The villagers staying in the back mountain were also frightened at this moment. If it weren't for General Chu and Su Nian'an, they might have been burned to death and their bodies would have been gone.

"Hahaha, Su Nian'an, you guys can't escape this time!" Chen Shitou shouted to the sky, listening to the wailing in the village gradually weakening. At this moment, there was only the sound of burning flames.

"Report! Coach!"

"What the hell!" It really affected his mood. He was enjoying the beautiful scenery.

The soldier was sweating profusely but did not dare to delay and said, "Coach, there are indeed soldiers coming towards us from the foot of Axe Mountain. The number is estimated to be more than a hundred!"

When Chen Shitou first heard the word "soldier", his legs went weak. Then he heard that there were only a hundred of them and said disdainfully, "There are only a hundred of them, what are you afraid of? You are as cowardly as a mouse!"

"Report! Coach!" Another soldier knelt in front of Chen Shitou.

Chen Shitou wanted to get angry: "You'd better really have something to say! Tell me!"

"Report to the coach! Our people in the back mountain were bitten to death by poisonous snakes! Some of them are missing!"

"What?!" Chen Shitou couldn't sit still. This time the county magistrate only gave him a thousand men, but there were more than four hundred people in the back mountain.

They still have five or six hundred people who should be able to fight against those soldiers. If they can't beat them, he can sneak away alone to get help!

"Call everyone back! Get ready to fight!" Chen Shitou ordered loudly.

More than 500 people against more than 100 people, they can win even if they fight in a round-robin battle! What is he afraid of!

Soon, all the officers and soldiers stood in front of the gate of Axe Village in an orderly manner. Chen Shitou stood in the middle. This was the safest way. If he couldn't defeat him, he could sneak into the village and pretend to be a survivor of Axe Village. If he was Chu Ruohuai's men, they would definitely let him go.

Chen Shitou was thinking about how to save his life.

What he couldn't believe was that the soldiers didn't play by the rules.

"Brothers! Shoot!" Chu Ruohuai stood in front of the soldiers with a sneer on his face. Chen Shitou really gave him too much face. He didn't know where to start, so he directly gathered the crowd together.

As soon as the soldiers heard the order, they also lit fire on the wooden arrows and shot them down the mountain.

call out!call out!call out!

The wooden arrows hit the wind, and the fire burned even more. Chen Shitou and the others froze when they saw the flames flying from all directions. They dropped their weapons and looked for shelter everywhere, but there was nothing but dry grass and yellow earth here, and there was no place to hide.

"Ah! It hurts!"

"water!"

"Where's the water? It hurts so much!"

"..."

For a while, there were ghosts and wolves howling in front of Axe Village, but no one came to rescue them, and there was no water nearby.

When the rocket flew towards him, Chen Shitou grabbed the collar of the soldier beside him to block the arrow.

The rocket pierced the soldier's shoulder, and the sparks instantly engulfed the soldier's entire upper body.

"Ah! Coach! Save me!" The soldier tried to pull Chen Shitou's arm, but Chen Shitou didn't hesitate at all and chopped off the hand that was holding his arm with a knife.

The rain of rockets killed half of the 500-plus soldiers.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Shitou hid behind the soldiers and ran down the mountain with his body bent. Some soldiers who were lucky enough not to be hit by the rockets also ran down the mountain.

"Brothers! Kill them!" Chu Ruohuai shouted from the mountain.
