The captain of the private soldier stood up in surprise. He had no time to put on his clothes and turned over to open the window.
I saw groups of "bandits" running through the night, quickly blocking the doors and windows of the grain depot, and another group of bandits went straight to the dormitory where the private soldiers on the day shift were located.
At this time, the private soldiers on the day shift were also awakened by the shouts, and some of the quick-reacting ones had already rushed to the door.
But before they could clearly see the situation in the yard, they were shot dead with a crossbow in the hands of the bandits.
"Where the hell did these bandits come from? Are there such powerful bandits?"
The private soldier captain had a look of disbelief on his face.
The bandits in the yard moved too quickly, their battle formations were too strict, and their cooperation was too good.
The captain of the private army has been a bandit for many years and has seen too many bandits, but he has never seen such a capable bandit!
Where are the bandits here?
The most elite imperial guards under King Xiang are not that powerful, right?
Also, what kind of bandits have one crossbow per capita? And their archery skills are so accurate?
An idea flashed through the private soldier captain's mind, but he immediately suppressed it.
He just wants to run for his life now!
There are bandits in the yard, so we must not leave the main entrance.
The private captain quickly put on his shoes and prepared to escape through the back window.
Not far outside the back window is the fence, and over the fence is a reed marsh.
The reed marsh covers dozens of acres. Once he enters the reed marsh, no one can catch him.
The captain of the private soldier carefully opened the back window, but before he had time to look out, he saw a black shadow as big as a fist thrown in through the back window and fell to the ground with a thud.
"what?"
The private soldier captain subconsciously looked at Heiganda.
The next second, he felt his eyes suddenly turn white, and then he couldn't see anything anymore...
"Flash bomb...Zhenyuan Escort Agency!"
The private captain instantly remembered the legend about the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
I suddenly understood why these "bandits" were so elite.
When he saw the bandits holding a crossbow before, the private soldier captain was a little suspicious.
But before the rise of Jin Feng, there were hand crossbows in this world, and the Zhenyuan Escort Agency had been operating in the Sichuan and Sichuan areas and had never been to them, so the private captain was just a little skeptical and not sure.
Now he's sure.
Because flash bombs are one of the representative weapons of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, and except for the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, no other force has them.
Thinking of this, the captain of the private army knelt on the ground and said, "My dear bodyguards, spare your lives!"
He had long heard that the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau would not kill prisoners. Now that both of his eyes were blinded by the flash, he would be dead if he tried to resist. Surrendering might still have a chance of survival.
Outside the window, the two bodyguards looked at each other. One of the bodyguards raised his crossbow and shot an arrow into the neck of the private soldier captain.
This mission is very important and extremely dangerous. When setting off, Zhang Liang issued a kill order and asked the escort to seize the granary as quickly as possible!
In addition to the special operations team, there were also veterans who had just returned from Brass Ditch.
Everyone who came back from the Brass Ditch was crawling out of a pile of dead people.
Although these private soldiers were not bandits, they relied on the power of the grain merchants to do evil things around them. The escort did not feel any psychological burden in killing them.
The battle only lasted less than ten minutes and ended. During the entire process, the private soldiers were completely crushed, and were beaten by the escort so that they had no power to fight back.
After killing the private soldiers, the bodyguards did not dare to be careless. They checked the inside and outside of the grain depot twice and continued working until dawn.
"Report to the company commander that all enemies have been killed!"
An escort ran to the company commander, saluted and reported.
"Have you forgotten what you told me before you came here?" The company commander kicked the escort on the butt: "You want to call me the boss!"
"Oh, report to the boss, all private soldiers have been killed!"
The escort rubbed his butt and reported again.
"Is there any leakage?" the company commander asked.
There are grains everywhere in the granary. If there are private soldiers hiding in it, setting fire to it will cause a big fuss.
"Even... Boss, don't worry, brothers have searched it several times!"
"Then don't be careless. Let the brothers at the back quickly send the heavy crossbows and catapults and install them as soon as possible!" The company commander reminded: "The grain merchants will get the news soon, and we must be prepared for their counterattack!"
"yes!"
…
The escort company commander's guess was right. Although the battle on their side was going on very quickly, there was still quite a commotion.
There was a small town not far from the grain depot, and many people in the town heard the noise.
A few brave ones even got into the reed marsh and came over to watch the fun.
After discovering that the grain depot had been robbed, a young man who was watching the excitement immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to receive a reward. He quickly ran back to the town and stopped in front of the Fengnian Grain Store.
Bang bang bang!
The young man banged the store door hard.
"Stop knocking, stop knocking, you'll have to pay if the door is broken!"
The clerk in the store opened the door impatiently: "The warehouse is locked by the shopkeeper, please come back in half an hour!"
Grain is a valuable commodity these days. Every afternoon when the store closes, the storekeeper will lock up the warehouse containing the grain.
This guy just sleeps here to guard the door and doesn't have the key to the warehouse.
"I'm not here to buy food!" the young man said, shaking his head.
"Why did you come here so early in the morning and knock on the door if you didn't want to buy food?"
When the boy heard this, he almost jumped up with anger.
