One of the Hou Jin soldiers jumped off his horse and approached the crowded crowd. The people he approached tried desperately to squeeze in, and the roughly circular team was squeezed into a small dent.

The Houjin soldier waved the sword in his hand and pointed at the ground, shouting something loudly, but no one could understand Manchu. Everyone was still crowded together in panic.

The Houjin soldier seemed to be angry, and he picked up his sword and chopped down a man! Now the crowd was even more panicked! They huddled together even more desperately! But what could they do? The weapons of the soldiers in the crowd had long been discarded.

, and the Minzhuang people never had weapons. They could only desperately try to stay away from that vicious Houjin soldier.

It wasn't until a Houjin soldier in the distance shouted something in Manchu that the soldier slapped his helmet and shouted in blunt Chinese: "Kneel down, everyone kneel down!"

The other cavalrymen burst into laughter. Niu Mantun and his group knelt down on the ground as if they had been granted amnesty. Niu Mantun also knelt down in fear. He felt very sorry for the man who was killed.

It was worth it! Just because that Hou Jin man forgot to speak Chinese, he died!

When the soldier saw everyone kneeling down, he snorted with satisfaction. At this time, a dozen more soldiers jumped off the horse and took off the ropes from the saddle. Then they rushed into the crowd and grabbed someone by the collar.

Pick him up and tie his right arm to the rope. Once tied, grab another person and tie him to the same rope.

Slowly, the dense crowd turned into more than a dozen long queues. Niu Mantun looked around desperately, and then looked at those ferocious soldiers, knowing that he could not escape. Until his right arm also

Being tied with a rope.

Niu Mantun was unfortunate because he was captured. At the same time, Niu Mantun was also lucky, because Nurhachi had defeated all the Ming troops at this time, and he had enough time to clean the battlefield and capture prisoners. If Niu Mantun was in Du

If he hadn't left the team, he might have been cold.

Niu Mantun's group of people were led by Houjin soldiers and stumbled towards the back. There were corpses and blood everywhere along the way! He also saw many Houjin soldiers giving wounds to the injured Ming army. Those

The injured Ming army screamed, begged, and cursed, but was still hacked to death by those Houjin soldiers! Niu Mantun was so stimulated by the smell of blood that he wanted to vomit, but there was nothing in his stomach and nothing could be vomited out! He could only vomit.

Stare at your feet without looking at the corpses and blood.

I don’t know how long we walked, but everyone was driven into a camp. At first glance, the camp was built hastily, with only a sparse wooden fence around the outside. It was more like a large sheep pen than a camp.

.

All the captured people were untied and thrown inside. Only a few guarding soldiers were talking and laughing, and no one paid attention to these people.

But no one wanted to escape. The blood and flesh along the way had frightened them! Niumantun was hungry and cold. But at this time, he also knew that his life did not belong to him. All he could do was to huddle with everyone and endure

Cold wind and hunger.

Everyone stayed here until dawn. Unexpectedly, someone came to distribute food. Niu Mantun received a brown rice dumpling. He recognized that this brown rice dumpling was a stock in the Ming army camp, and he ate all this during this period. He took three bites

After finishing the brown rice dumplings in two mouthfuls, he finally felt that he had some thinking ability. But before he could think of anything, a group of Houjin soldiers came in and drove them outside.

Niu Mantun walked out of the camp numbly with the crowd. Many people from their camp had gathered outside. A group of Houjin soldiers were pointing and laughing at them. A short ditch was dug on the flat ground in front of them.

, the wood piled inside is burning. Although the flames are far away from Niumantun, it still makes Niumantun feel a little warm! It seems that these Houjin soldiers are not bad at all, at least they know how to let them warm themselves up.

!

Just when Niu Mantun was guessing what these Houjin soldiers were going to do, a cavalryman wearing laurel armor rode up to them and shouted to everyone in fluent Chinese: "You all listen to the truth! From today on,

You are all Lao Khan's slaves! But whether you live a good life or a bad life depends on today!"

Then the man pointed to the fire ditch and said, "As long as you dare to jump over this fire ditch, you can become Lao Khan's warriors! How about it? Who dares to jump?" This statement caused a commotion.

Niu Mantun put his feet up and looked at the fire ditch. In fact, the fire ditch was really not wide. It looked like it was less than one step wide. Anyone could jump over it with force. But today, the ditch was filled with burning fire.

The flames on the wood are rising into the sky, which is quite scary!

Niu Mantun felt that he should be able to jump over. But it would not be a joke if he couldn't jump over and fell into the fire pit again. On the way to his capture, he saw many injured soldiers of the Hou Jin Army.

The Ming army lasted a last-ditch attack. Niu Mantun was not like falling into a fire ditch and being burned half to death and then having another last-ditch attack!

After a long pause, the man saw that no one was willing to jump, so he continued to shout: "Is there no one who has the courage to jump into this small fire ditch? If you jump over, you will have food and clothing! It's better than enduring it here.

Is it better to be hungry?" This sentence caused an even greater commotion than before.

Niu Mantun made up his mind to stay silent in the crowd. But at this time, a man squeezed out from the crowd, and he said timidly: "I want to try."

The man was overjoyed and said, "Okay! You go and dance!"

Niu Mantun couldn't see the man's expression, only his back. He saw him standing not far from the fire ditch, hesitating for a long time but not daring to move forward.

.The man picked up his whip and cracked it, shouting: "Jump quickly! Otherwise I will chop you down now!"

The man was startled and trembled all over. Then he gritted his teeth and ran quickly towards the ditch. When he reached the edge of the ditch, he jumped hard and passed through the flames! Then the flames could not be seen.

His figure disappeared. Then there were excited shouts from the other side of the fire ditch: "I jumped over! I jumped over!"

The man waved his hand, and two soldiers walked over and pushed him aside from the edge of the ditch. They also gave him two brown rice dumplings. He took the brown rice dumplings and ate them hungrily. He couldn't stop rolling his eyes even as he choked.

He stuffed things into his mouth, which showed that he was very hungry.

After the first person succeeded, two more people came out. The person who jumped first jumped over. The next person obviously hesitated when jumping. As a result, he lacked strength and fell into the fire ditch, and suddenly made a series of noises.

Screaming, and still trying to climb up! The two Houjin soldiers next to him picked up their spears and stabbed the man down in the ditch! The man let out a shrill scream and then stopped. The two soldiers used their spears to pick out the body.

Fired ditch and thrown aside.

This scene frightened everyone, and no one dared to stand up anymore. The man waved his riding crop and shouted: "Trash! You can't even jump over this! Is there anyone left to jump?" He shouted many times, and the crowd

No one was willing to speak out.

The man seemed disappointed. When he raised his whip and wanted to give an order, Niu Mantun couldn't resist the temptation of food. He squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the fire ditch. Looking at the blazing flames, Niu Mantun regretted it!

He didn't know if he would be beheaded if he went back at this time? So he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and rushed towards the fire ditch. When he felt the flames hitting his face, he stepped on the ground with his left leg with all his strength and jumped up.

The person passed through the flames in an instant!

When Niu Mantun landed on the ground, he lost his balance and rolled to the ground. He ignored the pain on his body and touched his body desperately, only to find that nothing happened! Before he could feel happy, he was beaten by two Hou Jin

The soldier roughly lifted him up and pushed him to the side. Two brown rice dumplings were stuffed into his hands. Everything was fake at this time, only these two brown rice dumplings were the most real. Niu Mantun didn't care about anything else and just squatted there.

He stuffed brown rice dumplings into his mouth desperately.

A long time passed, and more than a dozen people jumped over the fire ditch one after another. The man shouted many times, but no one was willing to come out and jump into the fire ditch. He waved his hand to signal the soldiers to drive these people away.

left.

Then the man rode his horse to the small group of people who jumped over the fire and said: "You are all good! Dare to jump over the fire ditch, which shows that you have courage! From today on, you are soldiers of the Eight Banners! You
Chapter completed!
