The people in Songluo Town are not very wealthy, except for a small three-story house in the middle, where people can condescendingly see everything inside and outside the town. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the third floor, there stood an eight-foot strong man with a red and black face and a gaze as cold as a knife. His sword-like gaze was now piercing the dark night sky, and landed firmly on the group of knights who had come in a hurry, and his hand unconsciously rested on the sheathed steel knife at his waist.

His name is Xu Yingyuan, and he is a side branch of the Xu family in Huating. It is precisely because of this relationship that his career in the army has always been smooth, although he is not yet forty years old, he has already become an official from the command of the third grade, which is a high position that many people can hardly touch in their lives.

Moreover, this is not a vain position, he does have nearly a thousand soldiers under his command, which is more powerful than ordinary commanders. You must know that this is not the north where there are frequent wars, and there is no need to confront in other places, and there is not one out of ten people in the official and military guards. And as a fellow intellectual, he can command thousands of elites, and his status is naturally self-evident.

Xu Yingyuan also knew that he could rely on the care and support of the Xu family today, so he has always been loyal to the Xu family. This time, when he received Xu Jie's handwritten letter and asked him to cooperate with other people and horses to intercept and kill Yang Zhen along the road, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately made corresponding arrangements.

It's just that I didn't expect that these brocade guards really have some skills, and they have been surrounded and intercepted several times, and they have actually asked them to fight to the death, but it is the brothers under his command who have lost nearly 100 people. This made Xu Yingyuan have to look at the enemy this time with admiration, and at the same time make new adjustments.

In fact, Yang Zhen's whereabouts have always been under the attention of the scouts he sent out, and when he learned that they were heading all the way to Shandong, he quickly found this necessary place to enter Shandong, and led people to ambush in Songluo Town, just waiting for the enemy to throw themselves into the net and wait for work.

Moreover, Xu Yingyuan also came up with a good reason for himself and others to send troops - they heard that the people reported that horse thieves were about to invade Songluo Town, so they set up an ambush here. As for whether they killed the horse thief or the brocade guard, it was a matter for later.

Seeing that the group of brocade guards stopped moving forward before and after coming to the town, Xu Yingyuan's eyes narrowed unconsciously, and he also had a trace of admiration for these guys in his heart. is worthy of being a powerful character who can get out of his hands several times, but he is still so cautious at this time.

However, the two subordinates beside him couldn't hold back when they saw this situation: "General, do you want to tell the brothers to kill them and give them a head-on blow?" ”

"What's the hurry? Let's see. Xu Yingyuan responded calmly: "We have already set up a net, we can introduce them into the town, we can do twice the result with half the effort, and we can ensure that no one escapes, which is much more advantageous than rushing out, why sacrifice the strengths and weaknesses?" ”

"The subordinates are worried that they will see something and leave ...... suddenly."

"That's even better. By this time, their horsepower was almost exhausted, and if they turned away, they would give up their backs to us for a surprise, and the end would be no better than if they were to enter the town. We just have to wait and see what happens! ”

Seeing that the general had made up his mind, the two subordinates did not dare to speak anymore, but stared intently at the group of people outside the town, expecting them to come in quickly and send them to death. But after a stick of incense, these people did not have such an idea, and did not see them turn away or dismount, but just rode quietly on their horses, as if waiting for something.

"This ......" Several subordinates looked puzzled again, but at this time, they didn't dare to say anything in front of Xu Yingyuan.

Xu Yingyuan's brows were already furrowed: "What are they waiting for?" Do you want to take a break, or are you waiting for someone? Or have they seen the trap here and are trying to lure us out? A few thoughts swirled quickly in his mind, but then he became firm again, his own arrangement was the safest, as long as these guys did not move, his own people did not have to move. And, once it's dark, it's only more beneficial to you! In this case, standing still is the best response.

Because of his thoughts, the town remained calm, and everyone just looked at the knights outside the town, not realizing that a delicate and strange figure had come under their noses under the cover of the shadows of trees and houses.

Yang Zhen couldn't remember the last time he acted so alone. But this long-lost tension made his adrenal glands soar, and his spirit was more than ever.

The darkness of the night did not block his vision, and the humble houses were not the same. After quietly hiding in the town, he was completely convinced of his previous judgment, in the many houses in this town, there were countless pairs of eyes looking out of the town, if it weren't for his fast movements and the cover of the night, he was afraid that they would have seen it.

Hiding behind a house, Yang Zhen quickly made a plan for what to do next. Convinced that this method was possible, he moved again, quietly placing the clutter piled up behind the house closer to the house.

After doing all this, he went to the back of the next house under the cover of night like a ghost, doing something similar.

He moved quickly, and in half an hour, he had piled up all the miscellaneous items behind the row of rooms on the left, which were all firewood or shabby and useless furniture, and it was a dry autumn day, and with a fire, these things would quickly burn and set fire to the house they leaned on.

However, Yang Zhen also knew that this arrangement alone was not enough, and he had to do something more risky to make the whole situation completely chaotic, so as to create more favorable conditions for those brothers. Thinking of this, he had climbed up to a dwelling that was not too tall like an ape, and quickly found a window that was not closed, and shrank into it.

In this ordinary dwelling, there were five or six soldiers, one of whom had a fully wound crossbow in his hand. As soon as those brocade guards enter the town, they will rush out as soon as possible and give each other a head-on blow.

Because of this in mind, their attention was completely focused on the gaps between the doors and windows in front of them, and they did not care about the back at all. Even though one of them had appeared behind them, several of them were unaware.

Yang Zhen naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity, and at the same time as he turned over from the back window, his toes were a little on the ground, and he pounced on them like a cheetah, his body was in mid-air, and the dagger in his hand had been stabbed down fiercely.

Several soldiers who were preoccupied in front heard the wind behind them, and then they realized and quickly turned around. It's just that their movements are still half a beat slower, and the last one has just turned back half a beat, and the dagger in Yang Zhen's hand has hit his throat with a slam.

After assassinating a person, Yang Zhen did not pause, and pushed his left hand on the chest of the soldier who had lost his breath, and pushed his hundred-ten-pound body sideways towards the two companions in front of him, so that the action of pulling out the knife just now was slow. He himself, taking advantage of the situation, jumped up and spun condescendingly, landing right beside the other soldier, and with a flash of cold light in his hand, the dagger had quickly cut his throat.

Killing two people in a row, Yang Zhen's movements were faster, and he kicked the deceased man's wrist, smashing the waist knife he had just drawn out halfway from along with the scabbard to the soldier farthest away from him, while the other person jumped in the opposite direction and just hit the chest of the sixth crossbowman.

"Bang!" With a bang, the crossbowman only felt a strong attack, and then the throat was cold, and his body completely softened. At the same time, the crossbow machine in his hand had also been snatched away by Yang Zhen, without the slightest pause, the trigger was pulled, and the sharp arrow flew out with a sharp whistling sound, hitting the throat of the person in front of him.

The crossbow machine was extremely powerful and close, and after it shot through the neck of the soldier in front of it, it continued to move forward, and then shot into the chest of a person behind him, penetrating through the body, and then stopped.

flew out with the sharp arrow, as well as Yang Zhen. At the same time that the crossbow arrow killed the two of them, he had already pounced in front of the last soldier, and the dagger in his hand swung diagonally, and he had already cut his throat in the man's frightened and surprised eyes, and blood spurted out.

It's all complicated, but it only happens between the ups and downs of rabbits. From the time Yang Zhen entered this house to the last enemy falling in a pool of blood, it was only a few breaths. Looking at the corpses of the six enemies he had killed, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes also showed a look of satisfaction, he hadn't done such an assassination for a long time, and this time he was not only not rusty, but became more and more aggressive.

But he did not linger, but after taking a deep breath of the air with the strong smell of blood, he put the crossbow machine in his hand on his back, and rose again, went out of the back window again, and touched the next house by the darkness of the night.

Outside the town, a group of brocade guards stared nervously ahead, but their hearts gradually rose.

Now, they were convinced that there was indeed a problem in the town, otherwise how could Yang Zhenfu go for so long and not come back? And under this judgment, they also had some worries about Yang Zhen's safety.

Although they were already very impressed and convinced of Yang Zhen's ability, the enemy was waiting for work after all, and he must have an absolute advantage in numbers. If someone finds out about his whereabouts, he will be under siege!

Most of the eyes of the "Thousand Households ......" fell on Zeng Zhitan, and he was the one with the highest status here.

Zeng Zhitan's heart was also very conflicted, and after some hesitation, he still said softly: "Wait for another half an hour, if there is no fire by then, we will kill it!" ”
