"My lord, please spare my life, I'm not a bad person!"
"I am a good citizen, please spare my life!"
It was normal at first, but there were screams one after another, which were the reactions of ordinary guests.
"Is there no one inside?" Ma Shunde was a little anxious when he couldn't hear the sound of fighting. As soon as he thought this, he heard several screams coming from the inn in the blink of an eye!
One of the screams was so loud that it could be heard inside and outside. It was extremely miserable, and the dogs in the distance even started barking.
Ma Shunde frowned, unable to tell whether these screams were the enemies being killed or one of his own being killed.
From the sound, it is still difficult to distinguish this.
These screams are the sounds of soldiers fighting and weapons hitting each other. These sounds are very special and cannot be distinguished by anyone who has experienced them.
"He is indeed a rebel, how dare he resist with a knife." Ma Shunde was determined and sneered again. It seemed that many of the people inside were warriors or even soldiers.
I did not surround the wrong place when I surrounded the inn this time. To be able to resist such a movement, the people inside are indeed not good people!
The sound of soldiers fighting did not last very long. Less than a stick of incense, the sound of fighting inside suddenly stopped.
At the originally empty gate, there was suddenly a burst of chaotic footsteps from inside, and it sounded like a large group of people running out.
The soldiers outside, including those from the Imperial City Division, stared at the gate quietly, motionless and silent.
The sound of burning torches was crackling.
Liu Zhan lowered his eyes slightly and did not look, but did not remind anything. The next moment, a large group of people inside rushed out.
"Help, there's a murderer in there, a murderer!"
The group of people who rushed out were dressed in different styles, most of them wearing long gowns or silk. After all, they would not be ordinary poor people who could stay in this kind of inn.
This large group of guests rushed out to escape. Judging from the number of people, there were about sixty people!
Among them was a man wearing a civil servant's uniform. He seemed to be staying in the imperial capital to prepare for the exam next year. It was he who was shouting just now.
At this moment, when he saw people outside, he still shouted: "There are murderers inside, murderers!"
"Oh, I didn't expect a group of miscellaneous fish to come out."
With one look, a hundred households stepped forward and said: "Stop all of them immediately and kneel on the ground. Stop all of them immediately and kneel on the ground!"
I don't know whether it was because they didn't react or something else, but only half of them stopped hesitantly, while the other half shouted and continued to rush.
"Shoot!" Seeing this, Ma Shunde smiled cruelly, waved his hand, and heard repeated pops, and the crossbow fell like rain.
"Ah!" There were screams, and the scene was extremely tragic!
Most of the ordinary guests were like living targets, and were hit by arrows immediately. Some were hit by several arrows at the same time, and even hit their heads and necks. They groaned and died on the spot.
Some people didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune, but they didn't die immediately after being hit by several arrows. Instead, they fell to the ground and let out a long scream.
The man in the suit of lifting people was hit by two arrows, but he did not die immediately. He opened his eyes wide and wanted to say something, but he spit out a mouthful of blood.
Until his death, he had a look of shock on his face, as if he didn't understand why he was living in an inn, studying for lessons, and suddenly suffered such a fatal disaster!
Why did the armored soldiers outside shoot him?
Among the dozens of people, there were exceptions. In addition to kneeling on the ground and rushing over to be shot, there were three people who directly blocked the arrows with their arms when the random arrows came at them!
With such skills, you can tell he is no ordinary person at first glance!
Ma Shunde sneered and looked at it. Someone wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in among the ordinary guests and rush out. He had already expected it!
This is the reason why it is better to kill by mistake than to slip through the net!
However, even if you have kung fu, trying to break through his armor formation with this little kung fu is nothing more than wishful thinking!
"Shoot again!" The three of them rushed out. The archers in front who had finished shooting immediately jumped down, followed closely behind, and the soldiers were revealed behind them.
These armored soldiers held spears and shouted loudly. More than ten spears flew through the air with a whistling sound like wind and thunder, and they fired at them.
Although the spears of these armored soldiers cannot be compared to those of archers from a long distance, they can penetrate the armor within twenty steps. Just listen to the sound of "Puff", and a person who rushes at the front is hit by three spears in a row, his eyes wide open.
Eyes fell out.
One of them did not rush directly, but ran around the wall. With a "swish" sound, he rushed up the courtyard wall. He put his hand on the eaves of the wall and soared sideways, trying to escape to the next courtyard and look for a breakout again.
"kill!"
Suddenly, a man appeared in the opposite yard and slashed him with a knife. The man subconsciously raised his hand to block. Hearing a "pop" sound, his arm was cut off directly. The force of the knife did not decrease, and it almost split into two parts. He screamed and fell down.
Down.
Only the last person was the most alert. He rolled on the spot and retreated into the inn.
"Fight in!" Upon seeing this, Ma Shunde continued to order in a cold voice: "Also, capture all the people who come out!"
"Yes!" There was a loud response, and immediately another group of armored soldiers rushed in.
Ma Shunde and Liu Zhan stood in the team quietly watching, listening, and waiting. After a while, there were sounds of fighting again!
The first batch of armored soldiers who entered before were obviously all killed in the battle, otherwise no one would have been able to sneak out among the ordinary guests.
However, even if the first group of armored soldiers died in the battle, there are still many armored soldiers outside, so take care of the big ones!
"This is how the imperial court's soldiers are used. It would be worth trading ten or a hundred for one."
Ma Shunde will not pity the lives of armored soldiers at all. For him, as long as he can achieve his goal, even if a few more armored soldiers die, it is completely okay and completely worth it!
And he holds the soldier talisman in his hand. Regardless of whether they like it in their hearts or not, they will rush in risking their lives according to the order!
There was even a team of people who tied up the passengers who were lying on the ground and did not dare to move. They even used knives to stab those who had been hit by arrows.
"Ah!" The two armored soldiers who were finishing their wounds stabbed down with their swords, and the man pretending to be a dead body screamed and died immediately.
The person killed by the last hit was wearing the clothes of an ordinary guest, but there were people rushing out among the guests just now. No one can guarantee whether there are accomplices of those people among these people!
Since we have charged just now, adhering to the principle of "it is better to kill by mistake than to miss the target", we must make a last hit.
Seeing this, two "corpses" suddenly jumped out and were about to run away. At this time, the archer had already slowed down and only heard two "puff" sounds. The two of them were hit by seven or eight arrows in a row and fell to the ground.
On the ground.
"Spare me, spare me!" Seeing the armored soldier walking towards him like a ferocious spirit, with blood still dripping from the long knife in his hand, a "corpse" with fear in his eyes suddenly sat up and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
The long knife was aimed at his neck and pierced hard. The man screamed, holding the long knife tightly with both hands. The armored soldier smiled grimly and sank again. Hearing a "pop" sound, the man's whole body was twisted, his hands were limp, and he fell.
He fell down, his body twitching in blood.
The corners of Liu Zhan's mouth almost formed a straight line, but he didn't say anything. Seeing this, Ma Shunde became even more proud.
Didn’t Liu Zhan act like a moral superior before, and now he wants to pretend to be a grandson in front of him?
This feeling can only be described as "refreshing".
Just when Ma Shunde was a little distracted, the armored soldiers who finished the stabbing had stabbed to death several people who were seriously injured but not dead. On the contrary, the people who were tied up were not that fast and they all lay motionless on the ground.
This was normal. How could ordinary people dare to resist? As a result, when the armored soldiers approached, suddenly, a man suddenly stood up, his figure flashed, and he rushed towards Ma Shunde.
