The dark night of this era is much darker than we imagined, especially this moonless night, without any outdoor light source, the whole night, like a huge black cloth, shrouded between heaven and earth tightly, without revealing a single gap.

The layout of the inn is a large courtyard surrounded by several houses, except for the front is a place to eat and drink, and the back houses are all used for the accommodation of the guests' guests, at this time, these rooms are dark and dark, and there is no light at all.

A few black shadows climbed over the low wall, and then quietly crouched in the corner, and then, there were constantly black shadows turning over from the wall.

"At this moment, those carts full of goods are in the courtyard, and as long as the officers and soldiers who are guarding are killed, these goods will belong to their own people." A black shadow swallowed his saliva and roared in a low voice, and the black shadows behind him got up one after another and touched the front.

In the darkness not far away, someone seemed to have torn off a piece of cloth, revealing a lantern that glowed faintly.

Then the man with the lantern stuffed the fire into the lantern, lit it and threw it to the side. With a "whew", a large fire suddenly burst into flames, and it seemed that the firewood was poured with oil, otherwise it would not have burned so quickly. The fire was blazing, and before they could react, another piece of fire was thrown aside, and another pyre was set on fire. The courtyard was as bright as day. The people who came in obviously didn't know that there were two huge pyres in the courtyard, and under the constantly beating firelight, they could clearly see the suspicious looks on their faces.

In the courtyard--- their target was that the carts were still parked there, but the carts formed a semicircle, enclosing the exit of the house behind them, making them look as if they were facing a wall made of carts.

Behind the cart, there were faint figures, and it seemed that they were the officers and soldiers guarding the cart.

"Rush in and wash this inn!" The night raiders led by him, seeing that his deeds were exposed, no longer concealed it, and shouted hoarsely.

"Pounding" made two loud noises, and the two people standing next to the leader only felt a buzzing sound in their ears, and then, their faces and hands suddenly became slippery and sticky, and the shouting of the leaders around them also stopped abruptly.

"There are firecrackers"?! The thieves looked at each other, didn't the spies say that they only had short soldiers?

"Rush in, it's useless to get close to their firecrackers!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and the thief, who was stunned by the firecracker, as if he had found the backbone again, immediately dispersed, brandished the blade and axe in his hand, and rushed towards the cart without a sound.

"Shoot in sections!" Yu Feng stood in the middle of the cart and ordered expressionlessly: "After the fight, return to the room charge, and the spearman will come forward to resist it!" ”

The yard was so big, and more than thirty muskets fired in turn, which was no different from shooting at close range. The barrel of the gun sticking out of the gap in the cart spat out tongues of fire, and immediately beat the thieves into screams, more like the previous shouters, without snorting, and directly shutting down.

After the firecrackers finished beating the firecrackers in their hands, they didn't look at the results of the battle in front of them, and immediately ran back to the room with the firecrackers, while Qiu Shi and his horsemen's men, at this moment, were each with a spear, close to the cart, and immediately filled the vacant place where they retreated.

Yu Feng's arrangement looks decent, the firecrackers kill some, and then if there is a rush in front of them, they will be stabbed to death with a spear, and if there are those who rush into the inner circle, they will be solved by the close guards with swords. However, he overestimated the combat effectiveness of these thieves too much, and with a ping pong sound, more than ten people were killed on the spot, and the rest of those who were lucky enough not to die, where did they still have the courage to rush forward, and in the howl of ghosts and wolves, they threw down the weapons in their hands one after another, and ran backwards with their legs, and even the action of climbing over the wall was a little more agile than when they came. There are also a few stupid people who stood still and didn't move, either they were scared stupid, or their legs were weak and they couldn't lift their feet.

"This is a bit like Qi Shaobao's car formation!" In front of the window of the small building next to him, Xu Yuanliang looked at the battle situation downstairs, his face was slightly pale, and he muttered to himself, beside him, several guards stood next to him with nervous faces.

"Xu Fu, you have stayed in Jizhen, what do you think of these soldiers in front of you?"

The eyes of one of the guards beside him flickered, and he immediately said with a deep groan: "Advance and retreat in an orderly manner, you can be regarded as an elite soldier!" Being able to come up with such a method in a hurry, secretly combining Qi Shaobao's car formation method, this is the leader, and it can be regarded as a strategy! ”

"If it were you, how would you break this formation?"

"Cavalry charge, with the help of the horse's collision force to hit the car formation or with the help of the horse's height, rush in and kill the soldiers......" he paused, but, "such terrain, these thieves really can't do anything!" ”

As he spoke, the sound of firecrackers rang out again, but this time it knocked down all the thieves standing in the field.

"It's rare to see this fire gun charge fast, if there are more, wouldn't it be able to shoot out continuously?" This Xu Fu's face changed slightly, if this is the case, wouldn't it be that before these firecrackers are finished, they can't get close to the cart at all.

"Young master, what kind of private soldier is this, it is so sharp, I am afraid that it is the family of the chief soldier of Jizhen, it is nothing more than that!"

Xu Yuanliang shook his head slightly: "It's just the soldiers of the Lingshan Guard, when did I have such a strong guard......

A guard next to him said with a little disdain: "When you go to fight, you have to rely on real knives and guns, what can this firearm do?" ”

I'm afraid that ninety percent of the officers and soldiers in the world think so! Xu Yuanliang sighed slightly, you can't get close to other people's bodies, what kind of fighting, Ning Yuan's great victory, it is not because of the sharpness of firearms, if it is a knife and gun fight, even ten Ning Yuan may not be able to defend it.

As he spoke, there was another change in the field. The people in the car array were waiting for the next wave of the thief's attack, but the thief's attack was delayed, but they waited for the thief's shout.

"Listen to the people inside, the hundreds of brothers who returned to Fengshan have made up their minds for your deal, and the Bodhisattva of our big boss doesn't want to hurt people's lives more, so he will call out the goods and let you leave!"

"So many people!" Xu Yuanliang let out a low sigh, the fight of dozens of people was so thrilling, what is the concept of hundreds of people.

"It's just a bluff!" Xu Fu said in a low voice, "There are so many people, where they can't move on the official road during the day, they have to touch it at night, I'm afraid that these thieves think that these soldiers are escorting the family of Shangguan, if there is damage and can't be explained, take a step back and relax the hearts of these soldiers!" ”

"Oh! But it doesn't seem to have any family? Xu Yuanliang answered, and then looked downstairs.

"My lord said, if you have the guts, you might as well take it yourself!" A loud voice shouted in the middle of the pack.

There was a commotion outside the wall, and it didn't take long for it to fall silent again.

On the ground in Shandong, is it like this? Xu Yuanliang secretly thought, if these ringing horses are not for Yu Feng, but for himself, can these guards of his own withstand these thieves like Yu Feng's soldiers? Xu Yuanliang shuddered, not daring to think about it anymore.

"My lord, there is no movement, the thief seems to have retreated!" Qiu Shi had been listening to the movement outside with his ears open, half loud, and said to Yu Feng.

"Take a few people out to check the body of the thief, see what the way is, return to Fengshan or something, I'm afraid it's a disguise!"

A gap opened in the car formation, and several soldiers with long knives walked out, examining the corpses one by one, there were no obvious marks on the corpses, and the clothes were all sorted, it seemed that they were really roaring horse thieves.

Yu Feng was not surprised to hear this result, but although the thief had retreated, no one knew if he would kill a horse gun, this night, everyone did not dare to slack off, until the sky was slightly bright, everyone was relieved, it seems that the thief really knew the difficulty and retreated.

There was such a fuss last night, and everyone in the inn knew about it, but except for Yu Feng and Xu Yuanliang and his party, the other guests left the inn in a hurry as soon as it was dawn, for fear of suffering from the fish in the pond. So many people died, but it was a big deal, the innkeeper sent Xiao Er to the county government early to report the case, for fear that this group of killers would leave early in the morning, leaving him with an uncontrollable mess.

Fortunately, Yu Feng and they were busy all night, Xu Yuanliang and they watched all night, and when it was dark, they all felt a little tired, and they had some food in the morning, and they each arranged some people to be on duty, and they all went back to the room to rest, which also made the shopkeeper half relieved. As for the corpses of those thieves, they were placed in the courtyard, but no one dared to collect them.

After lunch, someone from the nearby county government came, and a team leader brought a few catchers, and it was said that the county magistrate would also arrive later. Under his rule, the thieves besieged the officers and soldiers, and killed and wounded dozens of people, which is a great event, although there are now as many military attaches as dogs, and they are not worthy of respect, but he can't bear to bite him and say that the local government is colluding with the thieves.

Yu Feng was impatient with dealing with these people, but fortunately, Xu Yuanliang also woke up at this time, and saw that they were ready to go, and they also had to be a companion together. I don't know what his guards showed the officials, and the officials have no objection to this, but everyone can see the flattering and flattering look on their faces.

Xu Yuanliang wanted to go along, but Yu Feng was very willing. Even if he doesn't speak, he wants to invite the other person. Although the guards on the other side seemed to pay more attention to their cart with silver, they said that they were worried that someone in the other party's team had something strange in mind, but Yu Feng did not have it. Presumably last night's fight, these people all saw it in their eyes, and they were just a little more curious, and although he didn't have long contact with Xu Yuanliang yesterday, Yu Feng still had a good impression of this gentle and elegant young man and was willing to talk more, and Xu Yuanliang felt the same way about Yu Feng, and the two sides hit it off.
