"What thief?"

Zhang Mo asked in a daze, suddenly woke up, jumped up from the couch, and asked urgently, "What kind of thief?"

Before Mei Xiang could answer, the rumble of horse hooves in his ears said it all. With such a dense sound of horse hooves, there must be many people coming, and Zhang Mo's expression immediately changed.

Mei Xiang trembled and said, "An Ren and Du Fei went out to check."

Zhang Mo hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to the front yard. From the dilapidated gate, he could see that on the dark official road, a winding fire dragon was moving this way. It was still far away, and the rumble of the galloping horses had already made the ground tremble.

of trembling.

The members of the Wang family had never seen so many thieves before. Wang Jun, the team leader, turned pale. In panic, he only asked everyone to quickly block the dilapidated courtyard door. More than two hundred people crowded in the courtyard noisily and without any order.

In the end, Guan Hai stepped forward to take charge, and everyone took their positions.

There were couches with legs under the courtyard walls on both sides of the gate, and more than twenty troops armed with bows and arrows squatted on the couches, ready to fire arrows at any time.

Du Fei led fifty people to guard the backyard, while the others dispersed under the front yard wall to prevent thieves from scaling the wall.

After a few breaths, the thieves rushed over and scattered around the post house.

The leader of the thieves was a stout man with a short beard on his chin. He held two stone hammers as big as an adult's head. He stepped forward to hit the horse and shouted: "Listen to the people inside, I only care about money. Just give the things away obediently and I won't die."

"Ho! Ho! Ho!"

The thieves raised their swords and guns, and shouted loudly, "Hand over the money, but you won't be spared!"

After all, Wang Yun had seen the world, and his expression was relatively calm. He turned to Wang Jun and asked, "Are you sure you can repel the bandits?"

Wang Jun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "There are hundreds of thieves. We are really unsure."

What he said was the truth. Although the Wang family's troops had been trained, they had not experienced actual combat. If the number of people was equal, they could still give it a try. Today's formation basically has no chance of winning.

Wang Yun pondered for a moment and then said: "This place is not far from Nie County. It only takes an hour or two to get back and forth by horseback. If we send a cavalry to break out and ask for help, can you hold it before the county soldiers arrive?"

"this……"

Wang Jun was hesitant, then Guan Hai said: "This method is inappropriate. The county soldiers are timid and the defenders of the city are cowardly. How dare they go out of the city to kill the thieves? What's more, there are not many county soldiers in small counties. Even if they are not afraid of thieves, they will not."

We have to defend the city, but I'm afraid no one will come to our rescue."

Xu Chushen nodded in agreement.

Wang Yun immediately looked sad and asked Guan Hai, "What should we do?"

Guan Hai was a bandit, and he had always been the only one to rob others. When it was someone else's turn to rob him, he immediately said: "I rely on the post station to resist. Although there are many thieves, the courtyard wall is so long, and they can't swarm them all."

, as long as you guard the courtyard walls and gates, you can easily repel the thieves."

"No, kill dozens of thieves and let them retreat when they know how powerful we are!"

Xu Chu is not afraid of death. He has sharpened his sword and is ready to kill.

Wang Jun disagreed, "Thieves only want money. If they resist, their lives may be at risk." It's not that he is afraid of death. He knows only too well the skills of his men.

Wang Yun was still hesitating, but the thieves outside were impatient, "I will give you half a cup of tea. If you don't offer your property, don't blame me for being merciless."

The thieves shouted again, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Looking at the people with trembling hands and feet, Wang Yun finally did not dare to risk his family's lives. He waved his hand to Butler Wang and motioned to move the debris blocking the door.

The Wang family can still afford to spend this amount of money to eliminate disasters.

Xu Chu stood on the stone beside the wall and looked at the thieves. Suddenly, a familiar figure among the thieves came into view. He widened his eyes in disbelief and called Guan Hai, "Anren, come and see, is that your old buddy?"

Looking in the direction of his finger, Peng Tuo's familiar face was reflected in the firelight, flickering in and out of sight.

There was no time to think about how Peng Tuo escaped from death in Kyoto. Guan Hai jumped off the stone pier, came to Wang Yun's side in a few steps, and whispered: "Master, this thief was brought here by Peng Tuo. This time it is very special."

Mere robbery should be revenge."

"Peng Tuo?"

Wang Yun exclaimed, and then thought that he could save Guan Hai in a sudden change, and Zhang Rang and others were so powerful that they might not be able to save Peng Tuo.

When he was in Runan, Peng Tuo was severely tortured by himself. Since he was entangled with thieves and came here to block him, it must not be for money.

Guan Hai said: "Don't panic, we have a good location, so we may not be able to give it a try."

Guan Hai said to Wang Jun: "We can take advantage of the thieves' unpreparedness and strike first."

Looking at the dark crowd of heads outside, Wang Jun swallowed hard and said, "You take command, and I will obey you."

The thieves outside were shouting again, and Guan Hai said to the trembling tribesmen, "Today, either they will die or we will die. If you don't want to die, just be brave."

"Fire the arrow!"

Puff puff puff, more than twenty arrows were shot out sparsely, most of them fell to the ground halfway. Only a few arrows hit the thieves, but they only killed two people, one of which was shot by Guan Hai.

Guan Hai sweated, the effect was much different from what he had imagined.

Seeing this situation, Wang Yun scolded fiercely from the side, "Are you waiting until you have no food?"

Everyone looked at Wang Yun in fear and hurriedly drew their bows and nocked arrows.

The thief leader originally wanted to wait until the contents were moved, and then lead his men to rush in and catch them off guard. However, he did not expect that his own men and horses were attacked first. Before he could react, a second round of arrow rain came out. Amidst the howls, his subordinates fired again.

Several people were shot over.

The leader of the thieves swung his sledgehammer and shouted angrily, "Damn it, this old man is really tired of living. Come on, let me kill them and tear them apart."

Everyone dismounted, and hundreds of thieves poured into the post house like a tide.

The thieves were not far away, so the archers couldn't suppress them at all, and soon they rushed to the wall and the gate.

The leader of the thieves swung a stone hammer and smashed at the car blocking the door. Peng Tuo's sword picked up an empty car carrying goods and threw it over.

Next to them, many thieves gathered like zombies and climbed up the wall. Although the guards were afraid, the situation was already like this. If they did not resist, they would die. They all raised their knives to kill the hands and heads exposed on the wall. In a moment, dozens of them fell in the yard.

Palm, broken fingers.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Chu led several tribesmen to block the door, and spears and spears kept stabbing at the thieves pulling debris at the door.

After a while, when Xu Chu saw the debris being cleaned up by the thieves, Xu Chu laughed and went out with a big knife.

Peng Tuo still remembered the scene when this guy knocked him off his horse with a hoe. When he saw Xu Chu holding a big knife with a fierce look, he didn't dare to go forward and confront him head-on.

With a sledgehammer, he rushed over and hit Xu Chu on the head.

"when--"

Xu Chu separated the two hammers with his broadsword, flipped his wrist, and slashed towards the chest of the thief's head with his backhand. The thief's head had just released the force of the previous hammer, but before he could return the hammer, he leaned back quickly, barely able to avoid the blade.

Xu Chu didn't give him a chance to breathe, and then struck with another knife. The thief's head couldn't dodge, and his left arm hurt, but it was cut open.

Since Guan Hai came, Xu Chu also learned a few moves from him, and his fighting skills became more and more organized. Coupled with his natural power, he was able to dance like a tiger with a sword.

The leader of the thief originally thought that these were just ordinary pieces and could be taken down in the blink of an eye, but he didn't expect that there was someone with such great skills among them. He was injured in two rounds, couldn't get through the wall, and there was an evil spirit at the gate.

, the leader of the thieves knew that his side would suffer even more if the fight continued, so he immediately wanted to retreat.

He swung Xu Chu's broadsword away with a hammer and hurriedly retreated. At the same time, he ordered, "Retreat quickly!"

The leader of the thieves retreated, and Peng Tuo did not dare to fight with Xu Chu, so he quickly retreated.

The thieves retreated two miles away and then stopped, still staring at the post house with eager eyes. Although they could not attack, the people inside would never dare to come out to pursue them. Peng Tuo suggested attacking with fire. The leader of the thieves said angrily, "I

I came here for money, but if you put a fire in it, your farts will burn away, and I will be busy working like a hammer."

He thought for a while and said, "The wall of the posthouse is not thick. Let's cut down some wooden stakes and knock down the wall."
