At this time, a few elders in the village thought of an idea. They let a few strong young men push a wooden cart with a large bundle of withered grass. After igniting it, it turned into a train and rushed towards Ma Wendong's escort team. It scattered a group of people and then pushed down a few thatched cottages and set them on fire. The fire temporarily stopped the pursuit of the escort team. Dozens of strong young men who were not afraid of death fought with the escort team, using their lives in exchange for precious time to escape.
A group of people ran desperately towards Xishan. Along the way, there were many strong young men who stood up to block the pursuers. They either smashed them with rocks or rushed out to fight with the pursuers. In short, they fought as hard as they could. No matter what, they had to win over the Ming Army. Just like that, they fought and fought, giving a large group of people the opportunity to rush into the mountain to find a cave to hide in.
The escort team was not familiar with the mountain and did not know where the hidden caves were. Ma Wendong was flustered and exasperated. He asked the gunmen to find a place to shoot. No matter where the bullets flew, it was good as long as they could find people.
Just like that, they found a few caves to hide people in. More than a hundred villagers were brutally slaughtered. Ma Wendong, who was in a killing frenzy, did not think of leaving a few alive. He left a few crying children as hostages, forcing the villagers to show themselves.
"These are your children, your countrymen! If you don't want them to be killed, then stand up for me! If you take the initiative to stand up and surrender, I won't kill you! If I find you, humph! Kill them all! Leave no one alive! "
Ma Wendong roared fiercely. He used his hand to grab the hair of a boy and tore it. The child cried and screamed as he crawled on the ground. Even some of the escort team could not stand it anymore.
Wang Xiangzhu, who had previously disagreed with Ma Wendong, stood up to stop Ma Wendong.
"In any case, he was born from Daming. He is still a child. Ma Gong, you should show some mercy. Don't go too far!"
Ma Wendong shook off Wang Xiangzhu's hand and kicked Wang Xiangzhu. Then he shouted, "Shut up! Unable to accomplish anything, but more than enough to spoil everything! If these people escaped and couldn't be found, you and I wouldn't even know how we died! If it weren't for these people, none of us would have survived! I'm fighting for a way out for you! You idiot! "
Clutching his stomach, Wang Xiangzhu climbed up with the help of his family guards. Pointing at Ma Wendong, he scolded, "You bastard, don't you know how many evil things you've done? How many people have you killed? You still want to kill people at this juncture? I won't blame you for killing foreigners, but these are all people we Daming. Can you at least show some mercy? Don't be so ruthless? "
Ma Wendong raised the gun in his hand and fired at the sky.
"If I don't be ruthless, I won't be able to live! If these people escape, no one, including you and I, will survive! The Francis can kill us all! Treat our families as slaves! Are you willing? Or is there anyone who is willing? If these people don't want to be slaves for us, we will be slaves ourselves! Who is willing?! Stand up, I'll fulfill his wish! "
Ma Wendong's ferocious look was not less than before. Those who wanted to speak up decisively shut up. Everyone knew that what Ma Wendong said was true. It was just that the way he did things was too ruthless and cruel. When he did things, he went straight to the point of no return. Even if such a person didn't die now, he would die a terrible death in the future. It was probably not a good thing to be with him …
Wang Xiangzhu didn't say anything and quietly returned to the team. Seeing that there were no objections, Ma Wendong continued his violence. The children's miserable cries echoed throughout the valley. Their throats were almost hoarse from all the shouting. Ma Wendong wanted to force those people to stand up. After killing the leader, the old, the weak, the women and the children would be at his mercy.
His many years overseas had taught him a truth — if you don't be ruthless to others, others will be ruthless to you.
He chose to be ruthless to others.
When the people hiding in the cave heard such miserable cries, all of them were heartbroken and cursed Ma Wendong in their hearts. But they also knew the consequences of standing up. There was a chance of survival if they hid here, but they would definitely die if they went out. They didn't know whose child it was. Although they were heartbroken, not many people wanted to stand up.
Of course, there were also people who wanted to stand up. They were engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. Ma Wendong's heartless behavior had made them completely desperate. They no longer had any hope for Ma Wendong. They hoped that he would be kind to his fellow countrymen. This man had a heart of stone and had no kindness. He killed, beat, and enslaved people from his hometown. Sometimes, he even didn't let his family go.
How could such a person be counted on?
A few people wanted to go out, but they were held down by the others in the cave.
If you go out, we will be completely exposed. Now, everyone is in the same boat. No one wants to die. Although we feel sorry for those children, we really can't do anything about it!
The children cried miserably, and the sad people cried bitterly. However, no one walked out of the cave.
Ma Wendong finally lost his patience. He kicked a boy away and killed him with one shot.
"You don't want to come out, do you? If you don't come out, I will kill him! This is the second one! "
Then, he pulled out the second child and kicked him away to vent his anger. Ignoring the child's miserable cries, he shot the boy again.
"The third one!"
When he pulled out the three girls, Ma Wendong's cousin, Ma Wu, stood up.
He really couldn't stand it anymore.
"Cousin, you can't go on like this. They are all children. We can't …"
Before he finished his words, Ma Wendong raised his gun and killed his cousin.
Ma Wu was lying on the ground, twitching. After a few moments, he was dead.
"Who else wants to speak? Stand up! I will fulfill his wish! "
Ma Wendong was like an evil spirit. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and no longer dared to say anything. Ma Wendong then changed his gun and aimed it at the girl who had long stopped crying and only knew how to howl. He smiled coldly.
"Bang!"
A gunshot was followed by a scream. Ma Wendong looked at the crowd in confusion and saw that someone had fallen.
I didn't shoot.
Ma Wendong was very confused.
Then.
Bang bang bang bang bang — —
Continuous gunshots suddenly rang out. Ma Wendong watched as people in the crowd were constantly shot and fell to the ground. There were also people who were constantly shot into pieces and blood splattered everywhere. Even one of Ma Wendong's trusted aides had half his head blown off by a gunshot.
Ma Wendong seemed to be living in a dream. He maintained the posture of raising his gun and shooting. However, he could not say a word or make a move.
