Chapter 860: Battle is like child's play

Qiandun Town is just a town of more than 1,000 households, but there are many inns, this Qiandun Town every September and October, there will be an influx of merchants more than the population of the town, because this town is one of the markets of Songjiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion to trade cotton cloth, Suzhou is the richest man in the world, Songjiang cotton cloth marketing the world, the transaction of these two places is naturally amazing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The cotton cloth trade is a big business, both buyers and sellers are rich, the inn has been doing business for two months is enough to eat for a year, Wang Tong and his party came to stay, but it was in the off-season, very deserted.

According to the previous rules of Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion, Suzhou Mansion escorted Wang Tong's officials and township soldiers, and handed over after arriving in Qiandun Town.

The messengers of Suzhou Mansion scolded a few words, but they didn't take it seriously, and just tried to ask Wang Daodao:

"Please rest for the night, Lord Chincha? Will Songjiang Prefecture send someone to greet you tomorrow? ”

I just wanted to be lazy, but I didn't expect Wang Tong to be as good as a stream, and said directly:

"The official is here to rest for the night, you can go back"

There is no oil and water for this kind of errand, Wang Tong and other living Yama-like characters do not dare to slack off, no one is willing to do it, as soon as he heard this, the Suzhou Mansion was not polite, and after thanking him, he returned directly.

"The ladies all go to the innermost circle, each of them is issued a dagger, and if the thief comes in, he will kill himself if he doesn't want to be ruined."

Wang Tong said loudly there, and gave the innkeeper dozens of taels of silver, which is a lot in the off-season, and the innkeeper left the inn as instructed, and the inn was wrapped up this night.

Simply lit a fire and ate some food, and the people began to get busy, Zhai Xiu'er and Lu Ruomei didn't know what was going on, and when they were puzzled, Wang Tong came over with a few daggers and handed them over, hearing Wang Tong's statement, usually talking about life and death, a woman didn't feel afraid, but was stunned.

When Wang Tong turned around and left, the maid was so frightened that she cried, Zhai Xiu'er had some idea, and immediately took a group of people into the innermost room.

Outside, the archers began to look for a suitable place to stay, and the musketeers began to reload the muskets in the inn, and someone brought out a brazier from the kitchen and lit it with charcoal, ready to use it as a tinder.

Wang Tong and his guards were all wearing armor, and the weapons were also in everyone's hands, this inn was a large courtyard with a fairly bright area, Wang Tong climbed on the roof and looked around.

Jiangnan water town, there are many plants and trees, although standing on the roof is a high place, the line of sight is not too far, and if there is hidden in the grass and trees, it is difficult to find.

There are more than a dozen large and small rivers in Wang Tong's field of vision, and there are no less than ten of them that can be navigated, and in such a place where the rivers are crisscrossed, it is the same when the enemy comes by boat when it gets dark.

However, the advantage is that because Qiandun Town is a horse Pingchuan, and there are not many aborigines, and it is a seasonal business, so the inn covers a vast area, and the distance between the inn and the inn is very large.

Seeing the sun sink in the west, it was getting dark

Before it got dark, Wang Tong sent his soldiers to buy some rice, dried fish, pickled vegetables and the like in the town, and they didn't know how long they would stay up at night, and adequate supplies were necessary.

After nightfall, the people below are taking advantage of nothing to rest and recuperate, Wang Tong climbed on the roof to chat with Chen Dahe, in their position can see a few archers dodging in a high place, this time the archers who followed Wang Tong are not ordinary characters, not to mention archery, and the courage is also good.

"Don't close the door, wait until they come back"

Wang Tong took the dried fish as a snack and chewed there, and said to Chen Dahe while eating, Chen Dahe nodded there and said:

"Please rest assured, the people here are really amazing, when I went in to buy food, the people of the small people here actually ate white rice and salted fish, and the people over there in Beizhili can eat white noodles a year?"

Listening to Chen Dahe's exclamation, Wang Tong looked down at Liu Saburo in the courtyard to inspect there, and from time to time he and his guards changed the position of the simple fortifications, but he replied:

"The wealth in the south of the Yangtze River is not a story, ordinary people here can provide their children with education, how can it be placed in the north?"

Wang Tong replied with a smile, Chen Dahe just laughed there, picked up a dried fish and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and said:

"Now Tianjin Wei can also be there, ordinary people can also provide for their children to study, and there are also some general affairs schools, business schools, and there are many ways out, this is all made by Hou Ye, if it was put in the past, how dare they think about it."

Chen Dahe is from a military household in Jizhen, his family is now arranged to live in Tianjin Wei, and he wants to live well, so he naturally has such feelings, Wang Tong did not answer this words, he suddenly remembered, it seems that the day before yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this festival passed unconsciously.

At this time, the town has been quiet, late at night, the people in the town have begun to rest, Wang Tong lay on the roof with his eyes closed and pretended to sleep, the quiet surroundings suddenly had some restlessness, from the inn around the sound of birds, as if alarmed by something.

Wang Tong turned over and climbed up from the roof, and the bird's cry was issued by the archers hiding outside, which was a warning signal for the agreement.

The people who came did not want to hide their tracks, and the town, which was already dark, had many more torches on the roads, and some people shouted loudly:

"The dragon king crosses the border, and all the people retreat"

The people of the town seemed to know what this slogan meant, and there was silence all around, and there was no reaction at all, and the courtyard of the inn was already busy, and the guards began to line up.

"Send the letter, let's do it"

Wang Tong said to Chen Dahe beside him, Chen Dahe nodded, pulled out an arrow from the quiver, and shot it into the air.

A sharp whistle sounded in the air, and the torches that poured in all directions were immediately chaotic, and the sharp roar of arrows broke through the air everywhere in the inn.

"There's a man in the tree" "There's a guy in that house"

The following exclamations in the Wu dialect came one after another, and from time to time someone screamed and fell, but the sharp roar of the arrow breaking through the air did not stop.

"There are not many archers, and those with swords and cards go to the front"

In the midst of the screams and exclamations, there were people shouting loudly in the crowd, driving the thieves forward, the archers pulled their bows and shot arrows, it was impossible to maintain a high frequency all the time, and the frequency of the whistling sound was reduced, and the thieves gradually rushed up.

The archers jumped from their hiding place and began to run towards the inn, the bows and arrows were already at a distance from the enemy, and they were not far from the inn, so they could run back safely.

"This gang of thieves has some rules, and they are attacked at night, but they can still have a response"

Wang Tong said with a smile on the roof, then turned around and shouted at the courtyard:

"The muskets go out and line up for two rounds, and then come back to garrison, and the archers can still use their arms, and they all go up to the roof."

The following suddenly agreed, and the surroundings of the inn gradually became brighter, and the thieves with torches gradually gathered, and there was the sound of moving heavy objects below, and someone shouted:

"Archers get out of the way, let's go out first"

Looking at this side again, twenty guards with firearms ran out of the door, first in a small line, and then in a horizontal line of ten people walked forward again.

The thieves who surrounded them were all stunned, hundreds of people in their own house, only killed a dozen of them with arrows, injured dozens of them, and didn't move their fur at all, how could the other party's twenty people dare to rush out, is it brave or the brain is broken.

Before he had time to wonder, he saw that dozens of steps away, those officers and soldiers in armor had stopped, slightly straightened their postures, and a burst of gunfire rang out, and the thieves in front of him fell to the ground on their backs, and those who were knocked down were only dead and wounded, but these dead and wounded were all frightened and retreated, and the ones that had just gathered were suddenly chaotic.

It was precisely because of this that the twenty musketeers who rushed out finished loading their ammunition in a good time, and took more than a dozen steps forward, deviated from the downward direction, and fired again.

"Piercing the point, the fucking has firearms"

Someone was screaming there, in the direction that the firecrackers were facing each other, the thieves were already scattered, and after two rounds of fire, the firecrackers did not like to fight, and turned around and retreated directly to the inn, and the guards who had been prepared for a long time were about to block the door with obstacles, Wang Tong groaned slightly, and shouted below:

"Don't close the door, go out, Han Gang, you lead twenty people, go out of the main gate, rush forward and kill a hundred steps, no matter what the enemy situation is, you have to retreat"

Han Gang obeyed the orders loudly below, the team size was small, but the whole team was easy, and soon a group of people strode out.

The fire bell sounded, and the thieves were still a little frightened, but they saw a group of officers and soldiers coming out of the inn, not to mention anything else, the armor was too terrifying, and the whole person seemed to be wrapped in an iron sheet, and then looked at the blades of the officers and soldiers, all of them were spears and knives, and they looked at each other looking tall and strong, as if there would be no cheap turn.

Twenty soldiers in armor ran in unison, the armor leaf collided, the footsteps stepped on the ground, although there were few people, but the momentum was also intimidating, the thief in front of him couldn't help but retreat, but he wanted to retreat, but the leaders behind him did not agree, there a few fierce pushes, and there shouted loudly.

After all, it was a lot of courage and courage of the people, and there was any military restraint, but after all, a cadre of people stepped forward to meet them, and when they saw that they were in front of them, both sides shouted, swords and spears were swung and stabbed, and the screams rang out immediately.

But the thieves quickly reacted, and the screams were all on their side, this group of officers and soldiers was too strong, but it was not easy to retreat and disperse, and the soldiers led by Han Gang had already entered the enemy formation.

"Tan Dahu, you lead twenty people to prepare and replace Han Gang"

Wang Tong ordered with a smile
