In a courtyard in Pingyuan County, the gate is closed and silent.

This was supposed to be the time for noon dining, but there was no smoke in the courtyard, and no one was moving, and it was a little weird quiet.

In this way, it seems that there is a ghost inside.

"Go for it. ”

He Yi glanced at Jia Shao, Jia Shao understood, walked to the door of the courtyard, knocked a few times, and shouted inside: "Is anyone at home? There was a fire in the armory, and the county lord had an order to order the people in the city to quickly help extinguish the fire!"

As soon as the words fell, Jia Shao focused his eyes on the gap between the two doors and carefully observed the situation in the courtyard.

But the strange thing is that after a long time, no one answered.

"It's weird, I've always had people here to watch, and there's no way anyone can go out...... This courtyard is not too big, and even if there is a secret door around, it should have been discovered a long time ago. Jia Shao scratched the back of his head and said in confusion.

Since those people entered the city and then entered this courtyard, Jia Shao has been letting people disguise themselves as ordinary people and guard around this courtyard. Every two or three feet, there is a disguised person.

Under such intensive surveillance, not to mention people, even if a bird flies out, they will be discovered.

"Break the door! Everyone cheer up and prepare to fight!" He Yi waved his hand and gave an order decisively.

The situation is urgent, and the incident is sudden, and there can be no delay for a minute. Now that the armory is burning, who knows what other outrageous moves these guys will make next?

Bang!

Bang!

......

The two stout soldiers slammed into the courtyard gate, and in a few clicks, the thin courtyard gate was smashed into pieces, and He Yi and his party were able to enter.

The courtyard was very quiet, and the doors and windows of the houses were closed, so that nothing unusual could be seen. But because of this, it also made He Yi more vigilant.

"Search carefully! If you find someone, try to catch them alive, and if you dare to resist, you can directly cripple them!" He Yi said sharply.

If something goes wrong, there must be demons, and now that there is such a thing as an armory fire, he doesn't care where these people come from, as long as they are not the people of Pingyuan County, they will be arrested and tortured first.

With He Yi's order, the surrounding soldiers had no scruples, rushed into the courtyard, smashed open the doors of each room like a tiger and wolf, turned over boxes and cabinets, and searched for special searches.

"Who are you, and why did you trespass into my house? I'm going to the county government to sue you for trespassing on people's houses!" Soon after, a man dressed as a farmer came out of a side room in the corner.

The man had a dark complexion, some sweat on his forehead, a hoe in his hand, and a little dirt on his gray cloth shirt, and at first glance he really looked like a farmer who had just returned home from the field.

If He Yi hadn't sent Jia Shao to watch outside in advance, making sure that no one had been in or out of here all day, maybe he would have been deceived by this outfit.

"Is this person familiar?, but the group that sneaked into the city gate earlier?" He Yi asked Jia Shao in a low voice.

"General Hui, the first one to sneak in is the person in front of you, and you can't be wrong. Jia Shao said affirmatively.

He Yi nodded, since his identity was confirmed, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with this person, waved his hand, and directly ordered the left and right, and said, "Take it down for me and put it in the torture room for questioning!"

"Yes!"

All the sergeants received the order and rushed forward.

Seeing this, the man dressed as a farmer could not help but take a few steps back, and his face changed from frightened to gloomy, and he pulled out the hard hoe in his hand, and after smashing over a few soldiers, he hurriedly retreated into the room, and quickly closed the door.

At this moment, seven or eight sharp arrows shot out from the crack in the door, and the two soldiers who rushed to the front did not have time to react, and immediately fell to the ground with several arrows.

"Sure enough, it's a cat! Everyone be careful, find something to block the arrows, and rush in after me!" He Yi removed a door from another room, used it as a shield in front of him, and then quickly rushed towards the side door.

"Rush!" Seeing that his companion was hit by an arrow, Jia Shao was so hateful that he picked up the hoe from the ground, followed He Yi and rushed into the house.

......

Bang!

He Yi rushed forward with all his strength, and suddenly smashed the wooden door apart.

At the moment when he rushed into the house, He Yi suddenly heard a storm in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw more than a dozen sharp arrows shooting towards him.

He Yi's reaction was also extremely fast, reaching out and raising his hand, he erected the door panel in front of him, and the flying sharp arrows shot at the door panel, making a series of tuk-tuk sounds, nailed into a neat row.

He glanced ahead through the broken window paper, and there were about five or six black-clad men armed with crossbow arrows, each wearing a scarf, and they couldn't see their faces.

To He Yi's surprise, the crossbows in the hands of these people were all very sophisticated chain crossbows, which could fire three arrows in a row, and the power of shooting at close range was much greater than that of ordinary crossbows.

These guys, apparently, came prepared.

"Drink!"

After blocking a volley, He Yi slammed the door panel in his hand into a semicircle and smashed it towards the black-clothed people in front of him.

Bang!

The door panel was torn apart, and two of the men in black had their heads smashed.

In the face of an unknown number of enemies with unknown equipment and unknown equipment, there is no way to take the initiative to attack.

There are only two recruit squads on He Yi's side, one team disguised as ordinary people to watch outside the courtyard, and the other team helps the people clear the snow, all of which are not equipped with armor and weapons, and are all placed in the armory.

Now that the armory has been burned down again, they will have to fight with their bare hands.

The most important thing is that these people are all newly recruited soldiers, and they have not seen much bloody scenes, and a round of arrows is already terrifying, if a few more people are shot and killed, I am afraid that before they can attack, their morale will collapse first.

Duh!dumm......mm

Another series of sharp arrows rained down on He Yi, He Yi shrank his body behind a cabinet and hid for a while, and when the other party withdrew the string and changed the arrows, he pushed the cabinet and hit several black-clothed people with all his strength.

"Bang!"

Because of the narrowness in this room, those people had nowhere to dodge, and they were hit by He Yi, and their bodies were forced against the corner of the wall by the tilted cabinet.

"Hurry, come here, hold this cabinet against me, don't let them come out!"

As soon as He Yi spoke, seven or eight strong soldiers immediately took He Yi's place and firmly held down the door panel.

Those black-clothed people pushed out from the inside together, wrestling with He Yi and the others, but they were crowded together by this door board, no matter how strong they were, they couldn't use their fists and kicks, so they had to be firmly squeezed there, unable to move.

"General He, watch out for the back!"

At this moment, Jia Shao's reminder suddenly came from behind him.

He Yi turned around and saw that the man dressed as a farmer before was rushing over from the corner behind him with a meteor hammer.

The hammer head with countless sharp edges smashed straight towards He Yi Tianlinggai.

This room is not big, and more than a dozen people are forced in, and it is already congested, even if He Yi wants to dodge, there is no gap for him to dodge.

The wind is blowing, and the head is about to bloom.

He Yi did not retreat, but advanced, and at the moment when he was about to be hit by the hammer head of the meteor hammer, he suddenly pounced forward, and the huge hammer head full of steel thorns swept under He Yi's armpit, and his arm suddenly rose down, hitting the chain connecting the hammer head in the center.

As a result, the meteor hammer, which was originally a direct hit, was pulled by the chain, and circled around He Yi's arm for half a circle, throwing a huge arc in the air, but it slammed and smashed on the farmer's shoulder, and immediately blood gushed out.

Jia Shao then arrived, waved his hoe, and slammed it into the farmer's back, knocking him to the ground, and then the soldiers were firmly pressed to the ground.

A battle that starts and ends quickly, is quite thrilling.

Although several of the recruits were injured by arrows, fortunately there was no life-threatening situation.

"Take them away! Put these people in one place first, and we'll continue to search!" He Yi waved his hand.

He had a vague bad premonition.

Chain crossbows, meteor hammers, these people are so well equipped that they far surpass the defenders of Plains County.

If it is formed, even if it is only a few hundred people, it can bring a huge threat to the plains.

Even so, they still tried their best to infiltrate the city and destroy the weapons and armor of the defenders of the plains, making the disparity in strength between the two sides even greater.

The other side's means are much more than that.

These people in front of them, dressed in black and masked, and their actions were secretive, obviously for the purpose of operating at night, and they used medium and long-range weapons such as chain crossbows and meteor hammers, which must have been to find an opportunity to assassinate the defenders in the Plains City.

If it succeeds, then the entire plain county will become a turtle that has lost its shell, and it will have no power to resist, and it can step on it as much as it wants.

Such a plan is brilliant, and it will never be something that a group of rogues can come up with.

Behind this, there must be a master to guide you......

"General He! There's a secret passage here!" came a surprised voice from the courtyard outside.

When He Yi heard the news, he walked away, only to see that in the open space next to the dry well in the courtyard, after sweeping away a layer of soil, it was actually a rusty iron door.

He walked over and pulled the door up, revealing a dark hole in front of everyone.

He Yi took a few subordinates and climbed down from outside the cave entrance.

This secret passage was dug very deeply, and He Yi climbed the cave wall and went down for a while before his feet touched the ground.

The air below was very thin, which made He Yi and the others' breathing become a little short, and the torches burning in their hands also dimmed a lot at this time.

There are several piles of miscellaneous items in the open space on the side, and in the innermost, there are several shelves, neatly filled with wooden boxes of the same size, and on one of the wooden boxes, there is an unfolded letter, and an unusually pungent smell comes to the face.

"Stand back!" He Yi said to the soldier holding a torch beside him.

The smell was all too familiar to him.

It's gunpowder.

Unexpectedly, the other party even transported such artifacts to Pingyuan County.

If they were to blow up the plain a few times when the two armies were fighting, there would be chaos in the plain!

He walked forward quickly and opened the boxes of gunpowder one by one, but most of them were empty.

Obviously, all this gunpowder has been arranged in the place where it should be.

He took the letter in his hand again and looked at it, and it contained only two simple sentences:

If you want to save the people, this is the only thing. Yun Yi respectfully.

......

"Save the people?" He Yi was confused, shook his head irritably, crumpled the letter into a ball, and scolded in his mouth: "This is clearly a massacre! Go quickly, torture those black-clothed people! In any case, we must find out the location of these gunpowder before the war!"

He Yi was anxious.

If so much gunpowder explodes in the county, I don't know how many people will die.

"Yes! General!" Jia Shao also knew the seriousness of this matter, and quickly left with the people.
