Chapter 319: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
"Prince, is someone spying on our Meng Mansion?"
"See, the green fireworks just now are the signal of the other party's notification of the news, it seems that someone is really targeting this official." Meng Yan sighed while riding on horseback.
"My lord, it's obvious that someone wants you to look good!" Don laughed.
"They don't want me to look good, they want the life of their own officials!" Meng Yan sneered, "Is this official's life so easy to take?" Hum! ”
"Adults are blessed with great lives, how can these little people hurt adults?"
"This sycophant is good, Tang Xiao, there is progress!"
"It's all good to be taught by adults!"
"Haha...... Drive! ”
The night is like ink, and the tourists on the street should return home, and those who do not return home will not come out again.
Dripping water into ice, the north wind howls.
In the midst of this cold wind, a sense of murder spread.
"Big brother, it's almost time, it's time to do it."
"Okay, action!"
A team of black-clothed masked mermaids came out of the small door and quickly pounced towards the inspector's yamen, each holding a pitch-black steel knife, which did not reflect even in broad daylight.
At this moment, except for the brocade guard who guarded the back door, everyone gathered in the detention room and evidence room.
As early as when Meng Yan was renovating the detention cell, he noticed the possibility of a situation similar to "prison robbery".
Although at the feet of the Son of Heaven, not many people have the courage to do such a thing, but his opponent is the unscrupulous lord who is about to do it. You really can't do anything about it.
Therefore, as a precautionary measure, as long as the only iron door in and out is closed, people from outside want to enter, and only those inside take the initiative to open it.
In addition, there are some facilities that have not been completed for the time being, such as fire prevention and anti-gas smoke, which are easy to be used by opponents.
Meng Yan didn't make a turtle shell to hide inside. Outsiders can't attack. There is also nothing that can be done about the people inside.
Although some of the designs have not yet been perfected and the time is too rushed, it is possible to attack the enemy from the inside.
The simplest means of attack are crossbows and bows.
"What's wrong?"
"Big brother, no one in the concierge ......"
"No patrol found!"
"Big brother. It's in a detention cell. In such a short period of time. They can't get the prisoners away! ”
"Leave two people to guard the door, and the others will follow me to the detention cell!" The eldest brother who took the lead gritted his teeth and ordered in a deep voice.
It's coming. I didn't do anything, and I quit in a gloomy way, which doesn't make people laugh off their big teeth.
Under the leadership of Nei Ying, the man in black quickly rushed towards the detention room!
Whoosh......
Just as they were about to approach the detention cell, a series of sharp sounds suddenly came from the air.
"It's not good, it's a crossbow arrow, get down!" The eldest brother who took the lead has some experience, and as soon as he heard the sound, he beckoned the people behind him to hurry up and lie down!
At the same time, the heart and liver trembled even more in shock, how could the little patrol make the yamen still equipped with such a murderous weapon?
This is simply a loser's thing, and you can't be so panicked if you have money?
The power of the crossbow arrow can be imagined, it is a sharp weapon to defend the city, and it can pierce people within five hundred steps, although Meng Yantuo got some defective products from the craftsman, but it is also amazing.
In fact, it is not a defective product, mainly because the range is not up to or the accuracy is not enough, and there are some small flaws in the system.
A long-range attack is not very effective, but if you attack at close range, you can't say anything.
Meng Yan didn't have much to order, two heavy crossbows of three hundred and fifty catties were reorganized, and six small crossbows of one hundred and fifty catties were reorganized!
Small battles like heavy crossbows are not yet used, they are deterrent weapons, mainly aimed at masters, and at least two people need to operate together.
And one hundred and fifty pounds of crossbow arrows can be operated by one brocade guard, but due to limited space, four are equipped, and two are spare.
These things are all secretly equipped, and only a few people in the yamen know about the inspection, even Zhang Xuan, the second-in-command, is not clear, if it weren't for Lin Tianxing coming over, I'm afraid they don't know that there are such murderous weapons in the detention room!
When Lin Tianxing opened the secret equipment arsenal and took them out, it scared Zhang Xuan and the others a lot.
This is obviously a long preparation!
Lin Tianxing and the brocade guards admired Meng Yan's foresight, which was like a surging river, and he never returned.
Zhang Xuan didn't say anything, but he was jealous in his heart, this Meng Yan is really so godly, he can even calculate such a small probability as "robbing prison"?
The eldest brother who took the lead was still a step slower, and several of his subordinates who rushed in front of him didn't have time to dodge, and they were hit by arrows one after another.
screamed again and again for a while!
"Big brother, we are in ambush!"
"That kid in Jinyi betrayed us......" a man in black shouted unwillingly and indignantly before he died.
"What, betrayed?" In an instant, the eldest brother in charge didn't have time to think about it, it was obvious that they all came with Na Neiying, this detention room actually ambushed such a murderous weapon, he must have known, but he didn't remind him!
Turning his head, he saw Nei Ying hiding far behind him, and his eyes showed shock and fear.
"Is that you?"
"It's not me, my lord, it's not me......" Nei Ying was frightened by the terrifying eyes of the leading brother, and subconsciously ran outside.
"Lao Tzu will kill you first!" As soon as Nei Ying ran, the eldest brother who took the lead decided that this was a game, a game that led them in, and then wiped them out.
Even if you die, you can't make this guy feel better!
In the panic, those men in black saw the eldest brother who took the lead suddenly turn back, thinking that it was an order to retreat, which was good, and all the men in black turned around and ran.
Whoosh......
No matter how fast the legs run, they can't compare to the speed of the bow and arrow, and after a few screams, the leading brother looked back, oh no, this group of guys must have seen themselves chasing Nei Ying, and mistakenly thought that they were retreating.
"Bastard, stop it. Stop, look for something to cover, ...... quickly" The eldest brother who took the lead was about to cry, quickly gave up chasing Neiying, turned around, and ordered his subordinates to hurry up and find something to cover!
The men, who were also well-trained, soon found objects to cover their bodies, some hiding in corners, some behind pillars, and some behind fire tanks.
"Count the casualties!"
"Eight dead. Wounded three. Big brother, we lost half of our brothers in one face! ”
"Bastard, what about the kid?"
"Run, he followed. The fastest ......"
"It must have been on purpose. Damn it. The people of Jinyiwei really can't believe it, I really don't know what Lord Qianhu thinks? The big brother gritted his teeth hatefully.
"Big brother, we're the same number as them now. Do you want to continue to fight or withdraw? ”
"it, they have crossbow arrows, and they're hiding behind the wall, and we're just rushing over and dying for nothing!" The eldest brother who took the lead scolded.
"What then, withdraw?"
The eldest brother who took the lead was furious in his heart, this is not enough, even if he is half of his subordinates, how to explain this time, in case the identities of these subordinates are found out, it will be even more troublesome.
What a dilemma!
"Big brother, take a quick look, this movement just now, if it alarms the soldiers patrolling the streets, we just can't retreat!" The subordinate said anxiously.
"Withdraw!" The eldest brother who took the lead is unwilling, what can he do, continue to attack, God knows what else has been prepared for them, if it is all folded here, it will not be in vain?
Hearing the word "withdraw" and dodging the rain of arrows, the black-clothed people who survived were relieved one by one, they were afraid that the leader's temper would come up, and if they really wanted to attack, they would all explain here tonight.
Who has no home and no mouth, if this dies here, it would be good not to ask about the crime, let alone a pension.
"Lin Patrol, why is there no movement outside?"
"It's too dark to see clearly, but from the screams just now, their casualties are not small, at least seven or eight people!" Lin Tianxingdao.
"So what do we do now?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Wait!"
"Wait, just let these prison robbers go?" Zhang Xuan's tone was a little dissatisfied.
"Lord Zhang, now the enemy situation is unknown, we don't know how many people there are on the other side, rushing out rashly, just a few of us are probably not opponents!" Lin Tianxingdao.
"Yes, Lord Zhang, Inspector Lin is right!"
Zhang Xuan's face was scornful, he saw the crossbow arrows wielding, so he felt that these thieves were not very powerful, and the idea of meritorious service rushed out like a devil.
"This official is not good at this, so let's listen to the Lin inspection."
"Inspector Lin, listen, they seem to have withdrawn?"
"Well, it's the sound of footsteps walking out!" Lin Tianxing listened intently for a while and nodded.
"Forest Inspection ......"
"This could be a trick by the enemy to lure the enemy!" Lin Tianxing glared at Zhang Xuan slightly, this guy doesn't understand anything, but he is so impulsive, I really don't know why Gongzi summoned this kind of person into the inspection envoy yamen.
Zhang Xuan subconsciously closed his mouth and commanded the battle, he was a layman, if he talked more, it would be even more annoying.
Don't look at the eyes of the surrounding Jinyi guards with a hint of disdain?
"My lord, look, the patrol has opened the yamen, is there something wrong?" Lin Tianxing's three people and three horses arrived quickly, and when they saw the inspector yamen with the gate open, Tang Xiao exclaimed.
"Tang Xiao, you go around with Shen Cong, go to the back door, and the official goes to the front door!" Meng Yan ordered loudly.
"My lord, or I'll go to the front door, and you and Shen Cong will go to the back door, right?"
"Where is all this nonsense, this is an order!" Meng Yan raised his horsewhip and rushed over first.
Tang Xiao and Shen Cong made a detour to the back alley and turned to the back door of the inspection envoy's yamen.
The sound of hurried horses' hooves not only alarmed the black-clothed people such as the leading brother who led the people who were preparing to withdraw from the inspection yamen, but also alarmed Lin Tianxing, Zhang Xuan and others in the detention room!
"It's not good, someone is here, big brother, what should I do?" As soon as he withdrew from the courtyard where the detention cell was located, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and the man in black was frightened.
"Don't panic, there are only three horses, three people, one through the front door, and two through the back door." The eldest brother who took the lead flashed his eyes and said, "Go, brothers, go to the main gate!" ”
"Big brother, the front gate is too dangerous, let's go through the back door, right?"
"Is one person dangerous, or is it two dangerous?"
"But after going out through the back door, the alley is dark, and even if they want to, they can't catch up?"
"Idiot, the back door alley is narrow, if two masters block it, let's not think about breaking through lightly, there is a street in front of the gate, there is only one person, there are so many of us, and we can't beat one person?"
"But big brother, isn't there anyone among them ......?"
"Noise, if you don't leave, you really can't go!" The eldest brother who took the lead scolded, pulled his legs and ran in the direction of the gate, and the people in black behind him followed, listening to the eldest brother, it was always right. (To be continued......)
