At midnight, Yunzhou City had fallen into silence. Since the new governor of Yunzhou, Shi Du Shiyi, took office, he has adopted a stricter curfew policy than usual, and standing on the top of the city at this time, he can clearly see that there is no light in the city except for a building that seems to be a mansion. At the head of the city, although the soldiers on duty were patrolling back and forth, several of them yawned listlessly. Under the city wall outside the city, you can even hear a faint voice from above, obviously talking about the newly arrived Du Shiyi.

"This Du Changshi is really bold, and he actually tied up the young master of Baishan Mountain."

"What boldness, he's just fooling around, how can those people in the mountain be easy to mess with? These guys once went deep into the Turkic hinterland to rob a group of horse thieves, it is said that people killed all the goods and robbed them all, leaving no traces, how can such a killing god be provoked? ”

"Don't gossip behind your back. Your lord believes in him, and he is an appointed official of the imperial court, what else can we do? Just follow the orders, I just hope that the dog on the side of Baishan Mountain will not jump over the wall in a hurry."

Not long after these chatters gradually subsided, several light ladders were silently mounted on the top of the city, and soon, more than a dozen agile figures climbed the city wall, and with the faint moans and screams and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, there was silence on all sides. In a short time, more figures quietly jumped up the city wall, and the water chestnut disappeared into the night, and soon the city gate was opened. And about a cup of tea, there were bursts of shouting and killing and the sound of blades clashing in the city, and when another quarter of an hour passed, followed by a group of nearly 200 people quietly broke into Yunzhou City, they saw the fire not far away, and it was clear that the war was in full swing.

"The people of Bai Mountaineer really attacked Yunzhou to save people" The bearded man raised his eyebrows, waved his hand and commanded in a deep voice, "Keep up with these people, the Central Plains people have a saying called fishing in troubled waters, and today we will turn this Yunzhou City upside down."

The horse thieves in the night did not answer loudly, but everyone's face showed an expression of excitement that could not be suppressed. Yunzhou has not been repaired for a long time, the city wall is not high, the city is not very neat, they have to explore the terrain clearly, but after all, it is inconvenient to ride in the city, and it is even more difficult to fight at night, plus tonight is not about how many enemies are killed, but about taking advantage of the chaos to loot, blaming people, the mounts of the horse thieves are left outside the city to be guarded by special personnel, and even the horse's mouth is on the title, just to keep quiet.

At this moment, the group of people on the dark street quickly marched towards the princess's mansion, hearing the sound of shouting and killing getting closer and closer, there were many houses around as if they had been exposed to the burning fire, the leading bearded man was getting more and more excited, just when he clenched the steel knife in his hand, fantasizing about the scene of the two armies fighting at that time, and his strange army falling from the sky, the dark street suddenly burst into light, and I don't know how many torches were lit around, even if there were countless sounds that broke the sky. Seeing a rain of arrows pouring down, the bearded man's smile froze on his face almost instantly.

He almost instinctively rolled on the ground, and then danced a knife in front of him so that he couldn't splash it, but after all, only half of the people who reacted quickly like him, coupled with the sudden change from dark to light, and the psychological surprise, after this round of arrow rain, although there were only five or six corpses left on the ground, but there were many people who were injured by arrows. And at this moment, another voice came not far away.

"Second round, put"

"No, if it goes on like this, it will be suppressed in this alley, climb over the wall, and go separately"

As soon as the bearded man said this, he didn't care about his subordinates at all, and directly climbed over the wall on the side and broke into the house next to him. However, unlike what he imagined he could break into the house and escape by other means, there were already three strong guards in the courtyard waiting for him, and as soon as they saw him land, they surrounded and killed him. Faced with this situation, the bearded man didn't know that he had been a horse thief for so many years, and this time he was played around, and he almost hated it. He was originally a brave man, and at this moment, he was ruthless, so he broke the cauldron and killed him, but when he cut down one of them and rushed at the other two viciously, he saw that the two of them had changed from fighting separately to cooperating with each other, and the bamboo whistle in his mouth also made a sharp sound.

Could it be that he is calling for reinforcements?

The bearded man didn't dare to fight anymore, forced the two to retreat and retreated to the house, but what surprised and angered him was that the doors and windows of the house were nailed to death with wooden bars, and he kicked and slashed and didn't let go at all, so he had no choice but to reflexively jump over the low wall on the side, but he had just kicked on the wall, and saw a long black shadow fall on his head. At the last moment, he suddenly raised his knife to block, but the force of the volley was too great, and while he was shocked, the whole person also fell to the ground. Although he only touched the ground and rolled away, the sharp blow of the stick still made him tremble for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he found that except for the young man with the stick, the pawn and the other two who had just cut it down by himself were gone.

The one-on-one situation gave him a long sigh of relief, but he soon knew that he was wrong. Although it was only a stick, the young man was superb, not only was his sword technique restrained everywhere, but as the battle gradually lengthened, he became more and more overstretched because he was worried about retreating. When there were bursts of cheers and shouts from outside, clearly indicating that the battle was decided, he finally made up his mind, and was swept heavily by the eyebrow stick on his right arm, almost as if his bones were cracked, but he successfully won a chance to retreat.

However, just as he climbed over a wall and quietly landed, he found that many soldiers were already swarming not far away. Just like that, he lost his mind, and he saw a sharp edge in front of him suddenly bounce up from his head and pierce straight into his right flank. With a miserable scream, he could no longer hold the knife in his hand, followed by a sharp pain in his left leg, and he couldn't help but kneel on one knee for a while. When that bit of sharpness was suddenly put away, and he saw that the person standing with a gun in the shadow not far from him was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, he finally couldn't help the repeated blows of this night, and his head tilted and he fainted.

When Luo Ying fell from the wall, he found that the battle here had ended, and the bearded man who had just been injured by his own efforts was already lying on the ground covered in blood, and he couldn't help but glance at the young man standing with a gun in surprise, remembering that this was the day Du Shiyi first arrived in Yunzhou, and the guard Nanba who came from Princess Gu'an to put it beside him. Before he could speak, Nanba arched his hand with a gun.

"Thanks to General Luo, who scared him, I was able to take advantage of the situation to sneak attack and take him down."

"This guy is too slippery, I couldn't keep him, this is the credit of Nan Xiaodi."

Where would Luo Ying grab merit with others, and hurriedly waved his hand. The two of them were still here for a long time, but among the healthy soldiers not far away, someone shouted loudly: "Du Changshi has a life, if there is a living mouth, he will be escorted to the princess's mansion."

Hearing the two words of life, the two people who were humble to each other came back to their senses, Luo Ying went up first to check the injury of the bearded man, and saw that he was bleeding too much, and he had fallen into a semi-coma, and he didn't know how many life and death battles he had experienced over the years, he quickly tore off the other party's clothes, did a simple bandage, and put on some gold medicine to stop the bleeding urgently, and then tied the person's hands and feet firmly, and then carried the person on his shoulder without saying a word. Nanba, who was on the side, looked at this scene, and was so impressed that he hurriedly followed behind with a gun. When the two of them finally came to the door of the princess's mansion one after the other, they saw a row of torches lit here, shining brightly in all directions.

At this moment, Chibi stepped forward in high spirits and reported: "The people in Baishan Mountain went out of the city to outflank, and none of these horse thieves left outside the city to answer the net. Bai Dengshan ordered people to report, and the obtained more than 200 horses, all of which were good horses."

The reason why there are more than 100 talents and more than 200 horses is because these horse thieves are accustomed to running away, and everyone is equipped with two horses as standard. Moreover, compared to the horses that pull carts and transport goods, these good horses are quite good breeds, and a horse is fifty times. In other words, the sale of more than 200 horses alone will exceed 10,000 yuan

Du Shiyi knew very well in her heart that Wang Peiyi was not unable to make this extra income, and the reason why he reported it truthfully was just to show goodwill. Therefore, he nodded, and asked again about the dead and wounded tonight, and when he learned that in such a well-arranged ambush, eight people were still dead, and twenty or thirty were wounded, he could not help but take a light breath

Half of the horses were given to the white climbers. In addition, tonight, the deceased each received a pension of 30,000 yuan, and the brothers and nephews chose one of them to be the guard of the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion. The injured were each given a pension of 10,000 yuan, and the official treated the wounds, and after the injuries were recovered, they could enter the governor's palace to serve. From now on, the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion will recruit troops, and they are willing to serve in the former army, and their families will be free of rent for life to fight the enemy tonight, and they will be beheaded for meritorious service, and the rest will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan each."

With the great victory tonight, such a thing was announced, and the reward was so rich that it was unthinkable on weekdays, and the more than 150 people who were temporarily mobilized at the moment naturally cheered and thundered. Therefore, when Du Shiyi ordered to clean up the battlefield and pacify the whole city, everyone promised without the slightest disobedience. When Du Shiyi turned around and entered the princess's mansion and entered the Gu'an princess's bedroom, in the face of this sister's joyful gaze, he said with a smile: "Finally avenged my sister's robbery and murder, fortunately, this time I still have a live mouth, and I can carefully interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Your plan to lure the enemy has worked, the first fire in Yunzhou has convinced everyone, then it will work, as for whether you get the main envoy or not, it doesn't matter." Princess Gu'an motioned for Du Shiyi to sit down, and then asked, "Just now Zhang Yao came in and said your heavy reward order, you have just arrived in Yunzhou, and you can't serve the public without rewards and punishments, which is certainly true." But if you take such measures, it will only make everyone determined to join the army, but in this way, there will be an imbalance between the military and the people in the city, and where will the food supply be in the future? When the migrants come in in large numbers, food will be scarce, and even if we can sow seeds in time this year, it will be difficult to harvest in the autumn. ”

"I know my sister's worries. Most of these people gathered in Yunzhou now have enough self-protection power, and these brave soldiers are the most suitable to supplement the soldiers, as for the matter of food, within a year, I am afraid that they will still have to rely on external input. ”
