Gao Wu: Invincibility begins with basic archery

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

Chen Guodong woke up suddenly and looked forward.

next moment.

"boom!"

There was another loud bang, and the whole house seemed to shake.

"Guodong, what happened?"

Yin Fang also woke up with a start, subconsciously hugged Chen Guodong's arm with both hands, and asked with a panic look on her face.

"Not sure."

Chen Guodong shook his head and said: "The sound sounds like the sound of cannons."

"Cannon fire?"

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 and shoes and ran out.

When I came out, I realized that many people had been awakened and were standing at the door, looking in the direction of the source of the sound.

"What the hell is that noise? Is it so loud?"

"It sounded like artillery."

"The sound of artillery?"

Many people around him were shocked when they heard this.

Around here, the only one equipped with artillery is Songjiabao, right? Could it be that it was the people from Songjiabao who were firing the cannonballs?

But everything is fine, why do they fire artillery?

Could it be that? Is it a ferocious beast?

Everyone instantly felt a bone-chilling chill rising up their backs.

Generally speaking, ferocious beasts would not attack human camps. Even at night, the possibility was very small. After all, the tall walls blocked their sight.

However, there is one exception, and that is the tide of beasts!

When a beast tide occurs, these ferocious beasts will act like they have lost their minds and attack human camps crazily, whether it is day or night.

In other words, the beast tide broke out?

"Guodong."

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

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

Gu Jianghai and others looked at each other with ugly expressions.

If this is the case, if Chenjiabao is attacked by a ferocious beast, will it be far behind?

"No, something's not right."

Zhang Ren shook his head, "Songjia Fort is nearly forty miles away from us. If the sound of cannons came from Songjia Fort, there would not be such a big movement."

"?"

Chen Guodong and others are all passionate.

Some of them also wondered whether the movement was too loud, and even the ground was shaking.

"Zhang Ren, do you mean that this cannon may be near us?"

"Um."

Zhang Ren looked solemn and said: "Maybe only ten or twenty miles."

"What! Ten or twenty miles?"

Everyone looked shocked.

Songjia Fort is thirty or forty miles away from here. How could it be the sound of cannons coming from ten or twenty miles away?

Zhang Ren frowned.

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.

When you hear the sound of the gunfire, you can tell that it is from the 75mm howitzer. In terms of number, there should be two.

"The sound of artillery ten or twenty miles away," Gu Ze frowned and said, "Isn't it where we lived before?"

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

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

But how could there be gunfire coming from there?

Could it be that someone is using artillery to bombard Chenjiazhai?

"There's something wrong with this. I want to go out and take a look."

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

Chen Guodong hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'm going to bring someone to inform you. You have to be careful."

"Lao Zhang, shall we go with you?"

"Yes, multiple people, multiple caregivers."

The Wei brothers said hurriedly.

"Need not."

Zhang Ren shook his head and said: "I just went to check the situation. If there are too many people, there is a risk of exposure."

"Then you have to be careful."

"be safe."

Under everyone's nervous gazes, Zhang Ren quickly walked toward the entrance of the village with a telescope in his hand.

There was a very uneasy feeling in his heart, much stronger than the one three years ago.

Could it be that someone is really bombarding Chenjiazhai with artillery?

If so, what would have been the outcome now if I and others had not moved here earlier?

He didn't dare to think too much, he just quickened his pace and rushed forward.

In Chen Fan's absence, the safety of the village fell on him. He had promised Chen Fan that he would protect the Chen Family Fort.

…

Chenjiazhai is now in ruins. Wherever the naked eye can see, flames are burning and thick smoke is everywhere.

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

The guards who followed saw the scene in front of them, and their faces showed a happy look.

Chenjiazhai, this is what you will get if you go against our Songjiabao! How dare you kill Captain Guan? Then all of you, go down and be buried with him.

However, there was no trace of excitement on Song Hailong's face. His brows were furrowed and his face was so gloomy that it looked like it could drip water.

Something's wrong,

This isn't right.

The power of the two artillery pieces is indeed huge. After a few rounds of shells, Chenjiazhai can be blown up beyond recognition, but there won't be even a single survivor, right?

Even if they are all buried under rubble, there must be one or two screams, right?

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

"Cousin, you also noticed something was 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 more.

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.

"How's it going, cousin? Did you find anything?"

Outside the village, seeing Cheng Lei and his party returning empty-handed, Song Hailong had vague suspicions in his mind, 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 are no traces 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.

Now that things have happened, 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, let alone hundreds of people, it is not easy for just a few people to find a place to stay. There are hundreds of people, and 80% of them are still nearby!"

When Cheng Lei heard this, he took a deep breath.

My cousin is 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.
