Volume 1 Searching for Ruins in Troubled Times Chapter 15 The moon is dark and the wind is high, killing people and setting fires

Outside the Black Wind Cottage!

It is a cottage located in the terrain of a mountain pass, with a wooden gate and two observation decks with a good view above. But I don't know if the NPC of this cottage doesn't have enough AI, and less than 50 meters outside the gate is a dense forest, with only a big road leading to the outside.

At night, there are a lot of torches on the gate and observation deck of the Black Wind Cottage, and the light from the height shines a dim light 30 meters in front of the gate, although it is not possible to see all of them, but it is good to have such an effect in this era. It can be said that this Black Wind Cottage is still good, with its own guards, defense system, and archers above, with the terrain that the arrows are estimated to be able to shoot into the dense forest of about 60 meters!

In the dense forest, several figures flickered, shuttling through the forest. Due to the distance, these black shadows did not arouse the alarm of the gate guards, and in a short time the team gathered about 100 people!

"My lord, I've almost explored it, this camp is in this mountain pass, and there is only one exit in the whole camp. Those archers on the gate should be about the fourth order, and the vision at night is not good, but if our people get close to the position of 30 meters, they will inevitably be exposed. Although our troops are not afraid of the attacks of the fourth-order archers, we cannot attack them, and if we take advantage of the geographical advantage, we will also cause certain losses to our troops! Xiang Fu seriously reported the news he had just discovered.

After listening carefully to Xiang Fu's report, Xu Yang knew that if this walled gate was attacked, he could also take it, but it was impossible for the enemy to do it without losses on his own side with the advantage of geography and archers! This kind of words is not something that Xu Yang can accept, so it is absolutely undesirable to attack this cottage at the moment!

"Xiang Fu, let everyone disperse around the dense forest near the main road, let's ...... ...... like this," Xu Yang confessed.

Xiang nodded his head as he heard these words, and then began to divide the Praetorian Guards into groups and began to hide in different positions.

I have to say that the bandits of this Black Wind Cottage are very vigilant, and there will be a patrol outside the gate of the village even at night, and this patrol is still a team of ten people. Normally, these patrols operate in areas illuminated by firelight above, but these patrols are people, not gods. As long as everyone has three urgency, tonight when these patrols go to the side of the dense forest to solve their personal problems, there will be black shadows coming to knock these people unconscious, and then pull off their clothes......

"Above, open the door quickly! It's the middle of the night, why haven't the shifters come yet! I can't care so much, so I'm going to go back to sleep. Hurry up and open the door......" shouted a rough-voiced bandit below.

The bandits above the cottage just smiled at this, this Black Wind Cottage has only one such door, and there are a large number of archers guarding it, and there is absolutely no way for ordinary people to attack it. Even if the city soldiers of Lou County come, they have to weigh the losses, after all, their village owner is still a high-level general, and even if the ordinary goods break through the cottage, they are likely to be cut down by their village owner.

However, they didn't understand why the owner of the village arranged so many people to patrol outside the cottage every day, saying that the soldiers had to be trained every day, otherwise they would be unable to meet the battle. But these thieves don't understand these truths, and they are not soldiers but thieves, forced by the strong force of their village master, these bandits only perfunctory implementation of their village master's orders. That's why the patrol team is very loose every day, and there are often jokes!

"Okay, okay, today should be Lao Wang's team to take over your patrol! But Lao Wang's gang didn't come, I think you should know where to find these guys! The thief on the gate of the cottage said playfully, and at the same time opened the door of the cottage without any suspicion!

However, no one noticed that the leader led the group of people straight to the dark direction inside the cottage, and did not go to find the so-called patrol Lao Wang!

In the Black Wind Cottage, in a private house. The leader who shouted to open the door just now had been tied up, and the other nine people in the room were Xu Yang, Xiang Fu and others.

Xiang Fu confirmed that the minion would not break free, and warned him several times not to shout before taking out the cloth that was stuffed in the guy's mouth.

"Say! What is the strength of your village owner? Xu Yang opened his mouth and asked.

This minion was originally brought in by Xiang Fu with a knife against his back, and he was already frightened when this guy was threatened. The strength of these people is so terrifying that they unknowingly replaced all their little brothers. And now the other party didn't kill himself definitely because he still had a little use, thinking of this, this guy said at that time that he was willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and lead the way for them as a new person!

"I'll talk about a few heroes, I'm your own now! You can't do that to me, and I know our boss...... Ahh This minion was really scared, he didn't answer Xu Yang's question at all, and he was there to show his loyalty.

"Keep him sober!" Xu Yang just said a simple sentence and handed it over to Xiang Fu!

After a cup of tea, the minions were let go again!

Xu Yang looked at him with a smile on his face, but he didn't think it was a kind smile, this group of people was definitely the devil!

"Say, what kind of strength is your village master......

"Senior general, our village master has just been promoted to a senior general, and his strength should be the bottom of the senior general!" The minion didn't hesitate and immediately replied. First, he was really afraid of death, and secondly, he recalled Xiang Fu's method of torturing him just now, so he couldn't help but immediately say this answer.

Seeing that the effect was not bad, Xu Yang asked a few more questions, but after getting the answer, Xu Yang's face was a little solemn. This cottage is stronger than he expected, if he really launched a strong attack just now, I am afraid that if he wins this cottage by himself, it will also be a disastrous victory.

First of all, this village master has the strength of a high-level general, even if Xiang Fu can contain him in a short time, but after a long time, he will inevitably fall behind. Secondly, the number of bandits in the entire cottage also exceeded Xu Yang's expectations, 1,500 people! Of these 1,500 people, only 300 are third-order strength, mainly responsible for some logistics work, and 1,000 people are fourth-order strength, of which there are 400 archers alone.

In the end, it was also the biggest headache for Xu Yang, this village owner actually had a personal guard of 200 people, which was a fifth-order army! Although it is not a special class, if these 200 fifth-order troops stop the Praetorian Guard head-on, with the 400 archers, it is estimated that the first big battle with their troops will really be here.

gave Xiang Fu a look, and this guy directly slashed the minion with a palm knife. This product can never be trusted, this kind of cowardly guy who is afraid of death, Xu Yang has to guard against when this guy will give himself such a knife. Now in the house, in addition to him and Xiang Fu, there are seven Praetorian Guards he trusts, which is the strength he can call now, as for those Praetorian Guards outside the cottage, Xu Yang originally wanted to take the gate of the village together.

However, after learning about the garrison strength of the entire camp, Xu Yang had to change his plan! The enemy is outnumbered, and even if the gate is taken, it will not be easy to fight in the face of such a number of enemy troops.

"Lord, or we will sneak into the room of the bandit leader, and then we will attack together and kill him by surprise. Even if you don't want his name, you can hurt him a little, and then your subordinates will take down this guy as quickly as possible. As long as this leader dies, these little minions will naturally fall apart, and the entire camp will be self-defeating! Xiang Fu saw Xu Yang's brows tightly locked, and suggested on the side.

Shaking his head silently, Xu Yang did not adopt Xiang Fu's opinion. A high-ranking military general is a military general whose force or commander value has reached 80. Although Xiang Fu also has 75 forces now, this is the opponent's territory, once their sneak attack fails, then none of the ten people in their group will want to leave. Moreover, the bandit leader also has a team of 200 personal guards, and that kind of fifth-order troops must be near the bandit leader's residence, once the sneak attack fails, Xu Yang and the others will inevitably be attacked from inside and outside.

At that time, there is only one way to end up for them - a dead end! Xu Yang himself is not afraid of death, but he has to think about Xiang Fu, he finally has such an S-level qualified general, if he dies here, he will really die. Compared with this cottage and the task, Xu Yang naturally chose to be refugent.

Glancing around, Xu Yang took everything in this room into his eyes. Constantly thinking about how to deal with the enemy, there are too many enemies, and it is impossible to defeat them one by one. It's not realistic to sneak up on the enemy's leader, so what else can be done?

Suddenly, Xu Yang's gaze stayed on the lit oil lamp! Thinking of those torches at the gate of the camp, Xu Yang seemed to have suddenly caught something. As an otaku, a young man who is obsessed with games, how can he not know some stories of the Three Kingdoms!

"There's a way, wake that guy up for me, I have something to ask him!" Xu Yang's eyes flickered, and he suddenly had a way......

Black Wind Cottage, as its name suggests, is a dark and windy night tonight. is the so-called moon dark murder night, when the wind is high and the fire is set on fire, it is really appropriate to set off a cottage that makes a living from robbery in this background. Combined with the occasional sound of watching, the entire camp revealed a strange atmosphere.

Poop! Poop! Poop! Poop!

It's the fourth watch, this is the time when a person is most likely to be sleepy, and it is also the most convenient time to do bad things!

"There was a fire...... There was a fire......"

There was a burst of fire, and a fire ignited in the direction of the cottage warehouse. For a while, the whole cottage was awakened, and everyone took all kinds of tools to put out the fire - no way, there was all their belongings in the warehouse, and everything else was not important, but the food was the foundation of their lives!

Soon someone went to inform the owner of the village and waited for the owner to arrive. The fire in the warehouse was already very huge, and the whole scene was extremely chaotic, and the water that was poured over it could not extinguish such a big fire at all.

"What's going on? Why did the fire start? The owner of the village pulled a nearby logistics minion and asked angrily.

The minion was so frightened that he trembled, and said tremblingly: "Report to the owner of the village, it should be that the fish oil warehouse where we store it is on fire." That thing was originally used for lighting in the dark, and the water resistance was better than ordinary things, and the wind was relatively strong tonight, and the fire was already very big when it was discovered, which caused us great trouble to fight the fire! ”

Click!

With a knife on the face, the angry owner of the village split a piece of burning wood that was smashed down from a high altitude, let go of the logistics staff with one hand and said, "Let everyone come and put out the fire." Everyone, including the King's guards! ”

Hearing that the owner of the village had called his guards, the minion hurriedly went to inform. You must know that the guard of the owner of the village is not a cat or a dog, even if someone usually attacks the camp and the owner of the village will not send that force, it can be seen that the owner of the village is really angry tonight!

Soon, most of the cottage minions joined the firefighting. And this fire also burned from the fourth watch to the rooster's crow, and finally was extinguished under the premise of "serious losses"! But after the fire was extinguished, there was a trace of uneasiness in the heart of the owner of the village, I don't know why, he always felt that there were other problems after the fire tonight.

However, the owner of the village still did not wake up in the middle of the night, and he was tired for half a night, and with a burst of tiredness, the owner of the village arranged for some people to impose martial law on the warehouse and count the losses. As for what to do after encountering such a fire this time, what else can I do, continue to rob. Anyway, what I did with such a bunch of brothers was this business without capital, and the things were originally for nothing, so it was a big deal to wait for myself to rest and rob a few more times.

After extinguishing the fire in the middle of the night, all the bandits became more tired, except for a few who were arranged to stay on duty, the rest went back to their rooms to sleep. However, there is one thing that is happening unknowingly, if the owner of the village checks the number of people in his cottage as soon as the fire is extinguished, he will definitely find that his soldiers have been reduced by more than 200, and the gate has been breached!

These were all made by Xu Yang, and when he saw the burning oil lamps, he thought of the torches in front of the walled gate. Since the thieves were able to light the torches all night, it meant that they had plenty of fuel reserves, so they asked the death-scared minions to find the warehouse with them and set it on fire. Just when everyone's eyes were attracted by the fire in the cottage, Xu Yang and Xiang Fu quietly touched the gate of the camp and took the gate with the Janissaries outside the village.

Xiang Fu has the strength of an intermediate general, and Xu Yang is also the peak of a junior general, so he has no problem with some fourth-order soldiers. The alarm guards out of the gate were controlled in time, and the rest of the things naturally fell into place. When Xu Yang took control of the walled gate, he asked the Praetorian Guards to change into the clothes of these bandits, wiped them back near the fire ground again, and quietly began to attack these cottage minions, so there was the current situation - the rest is to reap the fruits of their victory!
