My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 115
Ning Changrong and Ning Qingxi looked at each other, "Gunpowder!"

They ran too fast, Ning Qingxi only carried a few packs of gunpowder on his body for emergency, one jar of gunpowder had already been transported to the back of the hillside on the mountain, but another jar was left at home.

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

They guessed right, the thieves who went to Ning Changrong's house to rob things turned their house into a mess, and even carried out the grain and gunpowder in the cellar.After grabbing the things, these people are planning to set fire to the whole place, and directly detonate the gunpowder in that jar!
All the thieves near Ning Changrong's house were bombed to the point of being left with limbs and broken arms!
The sudden thunderclap on a sunny day alarmed the entire team of thieves.

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

"Is God blaming us?!"

Unlike the panic-stricken thieves team, the rest of Xiayuan Village were ecstatic!

"The mountain god is angry! Hahaha! You beasts will have retribution!"

"Master Mountain God, please take all these people away!"

"Please, Lord Mountain God, save us!"

The leader of the thieves arrested a person in surprise and asked, "What do you mean by the mountain god?"

"It's the mountain god! Our mountain god in Xiayuan Village has appeared!"

The thief leader asked for a long time before he knew what these people meant.

Of course he knew that what he did would be cut to pieces, and the ancients believed in theology, so they were also a little timid at this time, and those thieves stood still and dared not move again.

The leader of the thieves went to the place where the explosion happened to check, and he found that the subordinates near the house where the explosion happened had all been bombed beyond recognition.

"Is there really a mountain god?!" Seeing the miserable image of his companions, some people were frightened.

The leader was a little guilty, his eyes flickered, and his expression was fierce, "What a goddamn mountain god! The brothers are just unlucky! How can there be a mountain god?! If there is a mountain god, we can still let us fight for so long!"

Finally, the group of thieves left.

They also took away many women, and they robbed the entire village, leaving only Xiayuan Village with ruins and corpses strewn all over the place.

Anyway, they have done what they should do. Since there are some mountain gods, they will change to another village.

……

Taixi County.

The man who came back with the news on horseback was at the city gate.

The county magistrate took most of them away, and the county lieutenant is currently the most senior official in the county.

Of course, there is also the fifth-rank chariot general, General Chen, in the barracks next to him.

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

The person who reported the letter was panicked, "The thief is coming! Today I went to Taizhou with the magistrate, and met a thief who suddenly appeared on the way. They immediately dispersed our team, and everyone was killed by the thief. Yes, I tried my best to escape!"

"It's Hu Dadao's group of thieves! The county magistrate has been arrested by them!"

Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly became terrified, "My lord, my lord may have...already..."

General Chen's tone became urgent when he heard this, "How many people are there? Have you seen it clearly?"

"The situation was urgent at the time, and the villain didn't come to take a closer look. There were about 3000 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 with only two city gates. If it only defends and does 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 made the arrangements, 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 kill them, and it took some time.

When Hu Dadao, the leader of the bandit, brought his men there, the gates of Taixi County had already been closed.

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

If it weren't for the war supervisor behind them, some people would turn around and run away.

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 letter did not lie to him. Hu Dadao's team was indeed only two to three thousand people. As long as they refused to leave the city and sent someone to report the letter at the same time, Hu Dadao would not dare to waste time with them.

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

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

General Chen saw that group of rogues in front had set up camp about [-] paces in front of their city gate, but they didn't charge?

"General, what the hell are Hu Dadao and the others doing?"

"No matter what they want to do, you just need to guard the city gate."

General Chen had heard of the name Hu Dadao, who rose from the north two months ago to set up an anti-banner. Young and strong.

Among the rebel ranks in the north, he is also a little famous.

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

It should be said that these people stopped to build siege equipment, but they didn't see any movement.

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

General Chen who couldn't figure it out could only curse secretly in his heart, and he didn't know which bastard it was that drove all the thieves to them!
Such a wealthy place in Taizhou Prefecture is not to be snatched, but they are actually staring at their small place!
If Hu Dadao could hear it, he would definitely make an aggrieved excuse. Although Taizhou Prefecture is rich, it is not something they can win.

Of course, persimmons should be picked softly.

At this time, people in the city were panicked.

Since the gate was closed, the whole street has been in chaos.

Some people took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, stealing, smashing and looting.

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

She hid in the back house with Mrs. Lai, holding a repeating hand crossbow in her hand and a firecracker in her waist, and looked at the front door vigilantly.

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

I heard more and more chaos outside, not only women's screams, but also men's roars, accompanied by violent smashing sounds.

The sound got closer and closer to them, and Wang Xiujuan heard a "bang".

It is expected that their store door was kicked open.

It was a group of ruffians who rushed into their store. After kicking the door open, they eagerly rummaged into the silver cabinet at the counter.

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

It didn't work two or three times, and the back door was kicked open by a few ruffians.

But what greeted them was death!

"Whoosh!"

When Wang Xiujuan saw someone kicking open the door and rushing in, she shot an arrow at that person!
Although she hadn't been trained, she was so big alone, and the distance between the two of them was only ten steps away, so she didn't need to aim, and shot directly in the stomach of that person!
After seeing their companion fell to the ground, the others avoided Wang Xiujuan's arrow in horror.

"go out!"

The group of ruffians saw that the little bow and arrow in the old lady's hand seemed to be able to shoot, and they had already robbed a lot of winnings in front of them, and there was a ready-made example lying on the ground. After hearing the sound, they thought I didn't even think about it, I just walked back.
