"Master Fu, there is movement outside."
The sentry guard walked into the main room to report. When Yang Qing and others heard the sound, they immediately woke up and stood up from the ground.
"What's going on?" Yang Qing tightened his grip on the sword on his waist.
"Master Fu, there are dozens of people approaching us, all holding weapons."
Yang Qing said anxiously: "De Mao, go and wake up the brothers in the woodshed. Everyone should go to the courtyard and be on guard."
Soon Yue Zhao also led the guards from the woodshed to gather in the courtyard. Mr. Zhu's family had been woken up early. When they saw everyone holding knives, swords or bows and crossbows, they were all frightened and hid in the corner of the hall and gathered together. group.
"Yang, Yang Langjun, what happened?" Old man Zhu leaned out of the door and asked fearfully.
Yang Qing said: "My husband, there are strong men coming, but don't be afraid. These guards are all highly skilled in martial arts and can handle them. I just need to close the door tightly."
"Strong man?" Mr. Zhu exclaimed, "How could this be?" When the family members in his house heard the strong man's attack, they were all frightened and their faces turned pale.
Yang Qing didn't have much to say, so he could only remind him: "Stop your voice and close the door. Someone is here to ensure that nothing happens to my family."
Zhu Laozhang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, closed the door, and then found two hatchets with his son, each holding them and guarding them behind the door, listening to what was going on outside.
The reason why Yang Qing kept Zhu Laozhang's family quiet was to lure the bad guys closer and then catch them off guard.
The courtyard wall of Zhu Laozhang's house was not high enough for ordinary people to poke their heads out, so Zhou Xing asked six guards armed with crossbows to find wood to place under their feet. When the strongman arrived, they would rely on the courtyard wall to shoot arrows.
The rest of the people, including Yang Qing, hid. Once the robbers rushed into the yard in batches, they would first annihilate the criminals who came in, and then deal with the remaining enemies.
Everyone quickly set up an ambush, and Zhang Qushuai and Mr. Fan had already led their people outside the courtyard.
"Hou San, is this the place?"
Hou San replied in a low voice: "Qu Shuai, a group of people named Yang are staying here. They must be fast asleep at this moment. This family does not have dogs, which is convenient for us and others."
"Okay, you take the two brothers over and pry open the door first, and then I'll go in and kill the man named Yang."
After Zhang Qushuai finished the arrangement, he turned around and asked Mr. Fan next to him: "Mr. Fan, is it okay for a certain family to arrange this?"
"Shuai Qu's arrangements are of course well made, but the brothers must move lightly and quickly. They cannot wake up the group of people named Yang before taking action."
"Don't worry, sir, these brothers are all used to doing this, so they will definitely do it neatly and beautifully."
"Okay, let's do it." Mr. Fan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Hou San and two others tiptoed outside the courtyard door, then put the knife in his hand into the crack of the door and slowly turned the door bolt inside.
Soon there was only a soft thud, and the door bolt had been pulled down. Hou San gently pushed open the courtyard door, looked inside, and found nothing unusual, so he turned around and waved to the outside, indicating that he could come in. .
"Come on." Upon seeing this, Zhang Qushuai waved his hand and let the thieves enter quietly.
Hou Sanyi took the lead and walked at the front. He made two gestures to the people behind him and pointed out the main room and woodshed where Yang Qing and others were.
As he kept approaching the main room in the middle, his eyes were burning. As long as he could capture and kill Yang Qing, his achievements would be greater, and he would be able to live a life of wealth and splendor.
boom! A heavy sound suddenly came from behind Hou San, shattering his beautiful fantasy. Just when he was about to look back to see what happened, a strong figure suddenly rushed out from the black shadow.
"Is there anyone?"
Thoughts flashed through Hou San's mind, and then he saw eight or nine brothers behind him all falling to the ground. The courtyard door three feet away was also closed again, with a log holding up the door bolt.
"Don't move, the knife doesn't have eyes."
Hou San was about to turn around to resist, but he found that a cold ring-headed knife had been placed on his neck at some point, forcing his body to freeze in place.
Zhou Xing asked Yang Qing behind him: "Master Fu,
How to deal with this thief? "
"Knock him unconscious and tie him aside. After taking care of the remaining gangsters, we can interrogate this person again." Yang Qing said while looking at the constantly shaking courtyard door.
"promise."
Zhou Xing knocked Hou San unconscious to the ground with a knife, and the guards next to him immediately dragged him to the woodshed and tied him up.
This unexpected incident shocked the thieves outside the courtyard. They were unable to react in time and had to watch helplessly as the brothers who rushed into the courtyard were attacked and killed.
Hearing the screams coming from inside, Zhang Qushuai was shocked and angry. Knowing that his actions had been discovered, he simply drew his long knife and pointed it at the few strong men staying outside the courtyard gate and shouted: "Break the door open for me, others." Climb over the wall and kill everyone."
The courtyard wall was no taller than one person, and these strong men were accustomed to killing people and setting fires. It was easy to climb over such a low wall, so they rushed forward with a roar.
However, it backfired. Yang Qing had already arranged crossbowmen behind the wall. Just as Hou San was dragged into the woodshed, Yue Zhao and other six crossbowmen suddenly stood up from behind the wall, raised their bows, raised their crossbows, and fired arrows.
There was a whooshing sound, and the strongest men who rushed the fastest were immediately shot with crossbows. The others were either lying on the ground or retreating in fear.
However, Yue Zhao and the others would not let them come or leave whenever they wanted. They fired three waves of arrows in succession, and the thieves killed nearly ten people, including a few people who knocked on the door.
"Commander Qu, I think this didn't just wake up Yang Qing and his group, but they were already prepared, otherwise there wouldn't be an ambush with crossbowmen so soon." Mr. Fan frowned, and his heart was in confusion. He never expected it. How could such a sure thing happen to such a sure person?
"Archers, shoot them to death." Zhang Qushuai didn't answer, pointing at the few archers he brought and roared.
At this moment, his heart was bleeding. The brother he brought had been broken in half in a moment, but the people inside were not damaged at all. This transaction was a huge loss.
"Listen to the thieves outside, surrender immediately, otherwise I will kill you in an instant." Seeing that the situation was stabilized, Yang Qing shouted outside the hospital.
Mr. Fan reluctantly suggested: "Zhang Qushuai, the matter is over, let's withdraw."
He knew that the opportunity for tonight's operation was lost. With only a dozen or so men left, he could not capture the courtyard defended by more than a dozen people. What's more, he knew that not only were all of Yang Qing's men extremely skilled, They are elite, and the swords, bows and crossbows they carry are all fine instruments.
Not to mention that they can't be defeated, if they stay here for a while, even the remaining people may break in.
"Evacuate? So many of my brothers have died, are you telling me to withdraw now?" Zhang Qushuai yelled, "Set fire in, go to other people's houses and take hostages. If I don't believe that Yang, he won't come out."
"My handsome Qu, they were going to kill him right away, but now we have to run away." Mr. Fan was quite speechless. Did this guy understand the situation?
"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless." Seeing no one responded outside, Yang Qing lost patience: "Everyone obeys the order, rush out and capture the leader of the thief."
Zhou Xingwen ordered people to open the courtyard door and led everyone to kill him. Upon seeing this, Mr. Fan quickly rubbed oil on his feet and fled eastward. By the time Zhang Qushuai reacted, he was already ten feet away.
"Fan, you ***."
Zhang Qushuai pointed at Mr. Fan's back and roared angrily, but he immediately came to his senses and saw that his men really couldn't resist, so he led his henchmen and fled eastward. The leader ran away, and the other strong men had no intention of fighting. They immediately dispersed and fled each other.
Zhou Xing slashed the last strongman to death, and was about to lead his men in pursuit. Suddenly, he heard Yang Qing shouting from behind him: "De Mao, in the dark night, don't chase the poor enemy."
Only then did everyone stop and withdraw their troops and return to the hospital.
