Gao Wu: Invincibility begins with basic archery

"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?"

Chen Guodong suddenly woke up and looked forward.

The next moment.

"Boom!"

There was another loud noise, and the whole house seemed to be shaking.

"Guodong, what happened?"

Yin Fang also woke up, subconsciously hugged Chen Guodong's arm with both hands, and asked in panic.

"Not sure."

Chen Guodong shook his head and said, "It sounds like cannons."

"Cannons?"

Before Yin Fang finished speaking, there was another loud noise outside.

"Go out and take a look first."

After Chen Guodong finished speaking, he quickly put on his clothes, put on his shoes, and ran out.

Only when he came out did he find that many people had been awakened and stood at the door, looking at the direction of the sound.

"What is the sound? So loud?"

"It sounds like cannons."

"Cannons?"

Many people around were shocked when they heard this.

The only place equipped with cannons nearby is Songjiabao, right? Could it be that the people of Songjiabao were firing cannons?

But why did they fire cannons for no reason?

Could it be? It's a beast?

Everyone instantly felt a bone-chilling chill on their backs.

Generally speaking, beasts will not attack human camps, even at night, the possibility is very small, after all, the tall walls cut off their sight.

However, there is one exception, that is the beast tide!

When a beast tide occurs, these beasts will attack the human camp frantically as if they have lost their minds, whether it is day or night.

In other words, the beast tide has broken out?

"Guodong."

At this time, Zhang Ren, Wei Tianyuan, Gu Jianghai and others also came over.

Chen Guodong nodded at them, and then said with an ugly face: "Listen to this sound, it should be the sound of artillery. Could it be that something happened to Songjiabao?"

Gu Jianghai and others looked at each other, their faces were also ugly.

If this is the case, how long will it take for Chenjiabao to be attacked by beasts?

"No, something is not right."

Zhang Ren shook his head, "Songjiabao is nearly 40 miles away from us. If the sound of the artillery came from Songjiabao, it wouldn't be so loud."

"?"

Chen Guodong and the others were shocked.

Some of them wondered if the noise was too loud, even the ground was shaking.

"Zhang Ren, do you mean that the artillery may be near us?"

"Yes."

Zhang Ren's face was solemn, and he said, "Maybe only 10 to 20 miles away."

"What! 10 to 20 miles?"

Everyone was shocked.

Songjiabao is 30 to 40 miles away from here, how could the sound of the artillery come from 10 to 20 miles away?

Zhang Ren frowned.

It can't be wrong.

When he was in Anshan City, he participated in several defensive battles and was very familiar with the sound of artillery.

This artillery sound was heard by 75mm howitzers, and there should be two guns.

"The sound of artillery fire from 10 to 20 miles away," Gu Ze frowned and said, "Isn't it where we lived before?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's face changed instantly.

Yes, this direction, this distance, seems to be Chenjiazhai?

But why are there artillery fire from there?

Is someone using artillery to bombard Chenjiazhai?

"Something is wrong, I want to go out and take a look."

Zhang Ren said, "Guodong, you let everyone hide in the basement first, the sooner the better."

Chen Guodong hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll take people to notify them now, you have to be careful."

"Old Zhang, shall we go with you?"

"Yes, more people, more care."

The Wei brothers said hurriedly.

"No need."

Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "I'm just going to check the situation. If there are too many people, there will be a risk of exposure."

"Then you have to be careful."

"Be careful."

Under the nervous eyes of everyone, Zhang Ren took the telescope and walked quickly towards the entrance of the village.

He felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, much stronger than the one three years ago.

Could it be that someone was really using artillery to bombard Chenjiazhai?

If so, if he and others had not moved here earlier, what would have happened now?

He did not dare to think too much, but just quickened his pace and rushed forward.

Without Chen Fan, the safety of the village fell on him. He promised Chen Fan that he would protect Chenjiabao.

…

Chenjiazhai has become a ruin at this moment. Wherever the naked eye can see, flames are burning and thick smoke is everywhere.

A hundred meters away, the barrels of two artillery pieces are like red-hot irons, and the temperature is frighteningly high.

The guards who followed them showed a look of joy on their faces when they saw this scene.

Chenjiazhai, this is the end of you going against our Songjiabao! You dare to kill Captain Guan? Then all of you, go down and be buried with him.

However, there was no excitement on Song Hailong's face. His brows were furrowed, and his face was gloomy as if water could drip out.

Something is wrong.

This is not right.

The two cannons are indeed powerful. After a few rounds of shells, they can blow Chenjiazhai beyond recognition. However, there shouldn't be a single survivor, right?

Even if they were all buried in the rubble, there should be one or two screams, right?

But from beginning to end, the village in front of me was surprisingly quiet.

"Cousin, have you also noticed something is wrong?"

Cheng Lei's voice sounded.

"After the second round of artillery fire, I felt something was wrong. It was too quiet. There was no sound at all. Then the third and fourth rounds... until the sound of artillery subsided, I didn't hear anything. There were people in that village. what sound."

Song Hailong licked his lips, "In other words, the village in front of you is empty?"

Cheng Lei silently.

If it is empty, then this trip will not only be in vain, but they will also have no way to deliver business to Anshan City.

"Cousin, I'll take people in to take a look. Maybe they were all stunned and couldn't make a sound."

"Well, be careful."

Song Hailong warned.

"Um."

Cheng Lei led three or four heavily armed teams over the collapsed wall and entered the stockade.

"Crack."

Flames burned all around, and there were constant popping sounds.

Cheng Lei sniffed the air. There was no other smell except the smell of burning. His brows furrowed even tighter.

Because under this kind of fire, someone will definitely die, but why is there no smell of blood in the air?

There were broken walls and ruins all around, and no broken limbs or remains, not even a drop of blood.

"Did they all hide in the basement? No, that's impossible, unless they knew it beforehand, and how could they have it in such a short time?"

Cheng Lei thought of this and said loudly: "Look for them carefully, don't miss any corner!"

"yes!"

Everyone responded and looked around in the ruins.

"Captain, I didn't find anything here."

"Captain, I don't have one here either."

"Captain, I found a basement, but there is no one inside."

"Neither do I have one here."

Soon, reports came from all directions.

With every sound, Cheng Lei's face turned uglier.

Facts have proved that his intuition is probably right, there is really no one here!

"Captain, we have searched everywhere. Not to mention survivors, there are not even any dead people. Moreover, the walls and gravel are very clean, without a trace of blood."

Three or four teams gathered around.

There was doubt and fear in his eyes.

One person had the courage to ask: "Captain, is it possible that no one lives here?"

The atmosphere became quiet for a moment.

Everyone carefully looked at Cheng Lei's face.

This sounds outrageous, but it seems to be the case.

Otherwise, why did they search for so long and find nothing?

"Let's go out first."

Cheng Lei glanced at the person who spoke, who suddenly shuddered and wanted to bury his head in his stomach.

"Cousin, how are you? Did you find anything?"

Outside the village, seeing Cheng Lei and his party returning empty-handed, Song Hailong had vague suspicions in his heart, but he still held a trace of luck in his heart.

Cheng Lei shook his head and said with an ugly expression, "Cousin, this is an empty village."

"!"

Song Hailong's eyes suddenly widened.

"We have searched all the places. There is no trace of blood, let alone people." Cheng Lei took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid they have already evacuated."

There was silence.

No one thought that this would be the result.

"Cousin, it's not that there is no good news." Cheng Lei hesitated: "At least it proves that Guan Dexi must have been committed by Chen Jiazhai. Otherwise, there is no need for them to leave here with the entire village with a guilty conscience."

"These bastards!"

Song Hailong gritted his teeth with hatred.

At this point, what's the use of talking about this?

He couldn't tell that person with these words, could he?

Unless the murderer is caught, he has no way to explain.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and a look of joy appeared on his face, and he said: "Cousin, where do you think there are so many of them?"

Cheng Lei suddenly became excited, "Cousin, you mean, they may not have gone far?"

"certainly."

Song Hailong sneered.

"In this world, it's not easy for just a few people, let alone hundreds of people, to find a place to stay. There are hundreds of people, and 80% of them are still nearby!"

Cheng Lei heard this and took a deep breath.

My cousin was right. These people must be nearby, and there are only a few nearby villages that can accommodate so many people. It is not difficult to find them one by one.

"Cousin, the nearest big village from here should be Zhaojiabao. If the people in Chenjiazhai want to move, they will most likely choose there. Even if they are not there, we can still get some information from the Zhao brothers. clue."

"Okay, let's start with Zhaojiabao."

Song Hailong took a deep breath and glanced at his watch.

There is not much time left for them. They must catch the murderer today, otherwise, it will be too late.

"Did you blow up this village?"

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind the two of them.
