Dozens of cavalry suddenly appeared and blocked the road, frightening the Fan family's thugs into panic.
At this time, no one would think that the cavalry coming from a distance were sent by the Fan family to help them. Everyone knew in their hearts that the dozens of cavalry in front of them were the same group as the thieves ambush in the forest.
The surviving Fan family thugs began to flee in all directions.
The cavalry team of more than thirty people divided into small cavalry teams and chased the fleeing Fan family thugs.
No matter how fast you run on two legs, you can't outrun a four-legged war horse.
Screams continued, and the sabers in the cavalry's hands were stained red with blood.
Soon, the thugs sent by the Fan family from the city turned into corpses, lying on the dirt.
"Check again to see if there are any survivors left." One person in the cavalry team ordered the others.
A dozen cavalrymen wearing breastplates jumped off their horses, holding sabers and began to stab the corpses on the ground one by one. Regardless of whether they were dead or alive, they all stabbed them in vital parts.
A group of people came out of the woods, holding firecrackers in their hands.
"Did anyone escape alive?"
As soon as these musketeers came out of the forest, the musketeer with a musket on his waist asked the cuirassier in front of him.
The cuirassier pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Don't worry, we've all been dealt with. No one is left alive. All the corpses are here."
While they were talking, cuirassiers were carrying corpses in the distance.
"Two small teams will dig a hole in the field nearby and use it to bury the body later." The man with the gun on his waist gave instructions to the gunman behind him.
The two fire gunner team captains led their respective teams towards the wasteland not far from the roadside.
The man with the musket on his waist looked around, and finally said to the cuirassier in front of him: "It's not that there are people from the Foreign Intelligence Service acting as internal agents. As for people, don't let you kill them!"
"The people from the Foreign Intelligence Agency are fine. They are on their way here right now. They will be here in a moment." The cuirassier raised his thumb and nodded in the direction behind him.
The man with the gun on his waist looked in the direction of the opponent's finger.
In his sight, he saw a figure running towards their direction.
After a short time, Li Xin came among them panting and gasped: "Have these thugs from the Fan family been dealt with?"
"Are you the spy placed by the Foreign Intelligence Agency in the Fan family? Where is the bronze medal proving your identity?" The man with the gun on his waist looked Li Xin up and down.
The order he received was to ambush the people sent by the Fan family to Zhuangzi outside the city in this forest. He also knew that there was someone from the Foreign Intelligence Agency acting as an internal agent, but he didn't know who the internal agent was or what he looked like.
Li Xin took out the bronze medal that proved his identity from his arms and handed it over, saying: "This is the bronze medal that proves my identity. Captain Zhou Zhong, please take a look."
The mid-week captain took the bronze medal, looked over it, returned it, and said with a smile: "Just now I was worried that you would be killed by mistake, but now I am relieved to see that you are okay."
As he said that, he looked at the cuirassier on the side and complained: "You know that Brother Li is one of our own. Why didn't you remind me just now that you are so bad? When the mission is over, you want to invite me and Li Brothers drink.”
"Okay, I'll treat you two to a drink when the mission is over." The cuirassier agreed with a smile, not taking Captain Zhou Zhong's complaint just seriously.
Captain Zhou Zhong withdrew his gaze, looked at Li Xin again, and said, "Everyone from the Fan family is here. Can you click through and see if the number is correct?"
Li Xin nodded.
All the corpses were moved to the wasteland on the roadside and placed one by one in rows.
Li Xin walked over, counted the numbers, and looked at a few of the corpses a few more times, as if to identify their identities.
After he looked over the corpses, he frowned and said to Captain Zhou Zhong: "The number is wrong, there is still one corpse missing. That person is the head of the Fan family, his surname is Feng, and he is known as Feng Big Er." .”
"Didn't you say before that you didn't escape alive? How come Feng Big Er escaped?" Captain Zhou Zhong's face darkened, and he said reproachfully to the cuirassier in front of him.
The cuirassier smiled and said, "Did the Feng Da'er you mentioned escape on a Mongolian horse?"
Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, we brought two horses when we left the city. The steward of the Fan family rode one, and Feng Da'er also rode one. There is only one Mongolian horse corpse here, Feng Da'er and None of the horses he rides on are here.”
"Go and get the head of the man who was killed on the way." The cuirassier ordered the people around him.
Not long after, a cuirassier came over carrying a human head. When he got close, he said, "Captain, you want the head."
The cuirassier who was called the captain did not take the head from the opponent's hand, but said to Lin Xin: "Look at this person, is it the Feng Big Er that you mentioned."
After hearing this, Li Xin walked up to the head and carefully looked at the head held by the cuirassier in his hand.
"Yes, this person is Feng Big Er."
The hair on the head was messy and there were a lot of blood stains on the face, but Li Xin still recognized the other person's identity at a glance.
The captain of the cuirassiers smiled and said: "I met this man on the way here. When I saw him running from the direction of our ambush, I wanted to stop him and ask for his identity. Unexpectedly, he said he was Fan as soon as we met. I will take care of this person easily."
"If you and the cavalry hadn't come from the other side, this guy might have escaped." Captain Zhou Zhong said to him with a smile.
The captain of the cuirassiers smiled and said: "This guy was also unlucky and bumped into my hand. He deserves to be killed by the sword."
Even he himself did not expect that the person who died in his hands was actually the head of the Fan family.
"Brother Li, are we all here this time?" Captain Zhou Zhong asked Li Xin.
Li Xin nodded and said: "Including Feng Big Er's head, there are exactly thirty-seven people, which is also the number of people sent by the Fan family to the city this time."
"As long as everyone is here," the captain of the cuirassier team said, and then said to the cuirassier with the head, "Put the head together with the other corpses, and bury them together later."
Not far away, a gunman was digging a pit.
Li Xin looked at Captain Zhou Zhong and the Captain of the Cuirassiers in front of him and said, "Two captains, how is Zhuangzi, the one in front of the Fan family?"
"Don't worry, our people are watching over Zhuangzi, nothing will happen." Captain Zhou Zhong said with a smile.
The nearby forest is only a few miles away from the Fan family's village. There are cavalry charges and fire cannons nearby, which makes a lot of noise. However, the Fan family's village hasn't sent anyone over because of the tiger-shaped flag. The people had captured Zhuangzi a long time ago, and all the people in Zhuangzi were taken into custody.
"I have to trouble the two captains to keep an eye on the people in Zhuangzi. Before closing the city gate, no one in Zhuangzi can be allowed to enter the city." Li Xin solemnly warned the two men.
"Don't worry, no one in Zhuangzi will be able to leave Zhuangzi tonight." Captain Zhou Zhong promised.
The cuirassier captain on the side also nodded.
