There is a small intersection at the north end of the alley, and not far from east to west, there are also branching roads.
The thief has completely disappeared!
"Split up and chase," the captain shouted: "Don't fight the thief when you see him, sound the gong as a warning and run back!"
Judging from the speed and skill shown by the thief just now, he is definitely not an ordinary thief. He is most likely a dead soldier trained by a powerful family. There is no way that the three or five patrol members can be his opponent.
Nowadays, the best way to deal with the masters of dead soldiers is muskets or arrow formations, but muskets are the most sophisticated weapons in Xihewan. Many bodyguards are not equipped with them, let alone the navy.
Even the hand crossbow, only the captain of the entire patrol has one, and the other patrol members are still old equipment of the Navy.
In this case, when a patrol meets a thief, there is no need to think about arresting him. The best way is to shake the gong.
The patrol team has to visit Yuxi Town countless times every day, and they are already familiar with the topography of the town.
Following the captain's order, the team members scattered and ran to different forks.
The captain himself continued to chase north along the small intersection.
When we reached the next intersection, we happened to catch a glimpse of a figure running in the alley on the right.
This lane is relatively long and has a curve at the end. After exiting this curve, you will find the main street of Yuxi Town.
With the current number of refugees and workers in Yuxi Town, it would be too difficult to find the thief if he ran to the main street and blended into the crowd.
So the captain immediately raised his crossbow and pulled the trigger towards the thief's back.
Although his crossbow shoots resounding arrows, it is quite powerful as it can fire resounding arrows dozens of meters into the air.
Unfortunately, the sound of the arrow was too loud, and the captain had no time to replace the arrow. When the thief heard the scream from behind, he dodged to the side without even looking back.
The sounding arrow missed, hitting the wall and bursting into flames.
At this time, the thief was almost at the entrance of the alley, and he only had to turn another corner to reach the main street.
"I wish I had the escort's musket!"
It was too late for the captain to change the arrows, so he could only draw his saber and continue chasing.
He didn't expect to catch the thief, he just hoped to keep an eye on the thief and prevent him from getting mixed into the crowd.
But just when the thief was about to reach the entrance of the alley, he suddenly stopped.
Then the captain saw three escorts appearing at the entrance of the alley, each holding a musket.
Although muskets have not yet become popular, they have appeared many times on the Yuguan City battlefield and Xizhou battlefield, so it is no longer top secret.
The musketeers here in the East China Sea no longer go to remote islands for training, but instead build a shooting range outside Yuxi Town.
The thief obviously knew the musket and its power, so he immediately turned around and ran away.
Seeing the captain who had already run into the middle of the alley, the thief's eyes immediately turned angry.
If he hadn't fired two loud arrows in succession just now, attracting the escort, he would have run away.
Thinking of this, the thief was already murderous.
Anyway, it's just easy to deal with an ordinary navy soldier.
"How to do how to do?"
The patrol leader's pupils contracted and he felt like his head would explode.
He wanted to chase the thief just now and was running forward. But now the thief suddenly turned around and the two of them were running towards each other. It was too late to turn around and run away.
Thinking of this, the patrol leader suddenly jumped forward, fell to the ground, curled up into a ball with his head in his hands!

The thief was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly understood something. He didn't care about killing the captain anymore. He stepped hard on the wall with his left foot, and his whole body flew into the air diagonally.
At this moment, three loud noises came from another section of the alley!
The thief's legs and back were bursting with blood at the same time, and then he fell to the ground with a thud.
The thief struggled to get up, but his legs didn't work at all.
Knowing that he would definitely not be able to escape, the thief immediately pulled out a dagger from his boot and stabbed him in the neck.
As a result, before he was stabbed in the neck, the patrol leader suddenly rushed over and tightly hugged his right hand holding the dagger.
"court death!"
The thief held the paw in his left hand, grabbing the captain's throat, and held the captain on his back before he died.
At this time, the bodyguards arrived just in time. The one running in front kicked the thief on his left hand.
Normally, even if he was kicked in the hand, the captain could still be killed, but he was shot in the back just now, which seriously affected his strength, and his left hand was kicked away by the bodyguard.
Then the three bodyguards rushed up together, subdued the dead man and tied him up.
Worried that it would be difficult to interrogate him if he bit his tongue and harmed himself, they stuffed a large piece of rag into his mouth and then tied his mouth with a rope.
After doing this, the escort squad leader reached out and pulled the captain up.
"Thank you all!" The captain thanked him repeatedly.
"We should thank you. If it weren't for you, this guy would have committed suicide just now!" The escort squad leader said: "By the way, we had no choice but to shoot just now. Didn't we hurt you?"
"It's okay, I was lying on the ground, no one hit me." The patrol leader waved his hand.
"That's good, that's good!" The escort squad leader breathed a sigh of relief.
Now the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and the Navy are in a harmonious stage of cooperation. If the Navy's patrol leader is accidentally killed, things will be in trouble.
"Brother, you know a lot about muskets." Another escort said with a smile.
The muskets had a large impact area. Even if the patrol leader lay down on the ground, they did not dare to fire at will. As a result, the dead soldier jumped up without death.
This time it hit the muzzle of the escorts' guns.
"I have seen you training before, and when I chatted with the brothers in the escort agency, they also said that the best way to encounter a musket is to get down quickly and cover your head with something. If there is nothing, just curl up."
The patrol captain explained, and then looked at the muskets in the hands of the bodyguards with envy.
If he had a musket, he wouldn't be able to escape.
"Squad leader, will this guy be beaten to death?" asked another escort.
"Hurry and take a look," the squad leader of the escort said: "This guy should be a big fish. If there is any injury, send it to the military doctor first. Don't really kill him."
The bodyguard immediately went to check the dead soldiers on the ground.
"Hey, this guy actually has a set of inner armor!"
The squad leader and patrol leader heard this and looked over, and sure enough they saw a layer of inner armor under the thief's coat.
Although it was only made of animal skin inlaid with bamboo slices, it blocked most of the damage to his back.
Before Jin Feng came up with the plate armor, this kind of inner armor was already very good and could not be obtained by ordinary people.
The squad leader of the bodyguard knew just now that this man was not an ordinary thief, but he only thought that he was a dead soldier trained by a big family.
Now that he saw the inner armor, his expression became more solemn.
"It seems like this guy has a lot of background. Let's go and send him to the Secret Service!"
