Chapter 860: Battle of the Scene

Qiandun Town is just a town with more than a thousand families, but there are many inns. Every September and October, Qiandun Town will pour in merchants with more population than the town, because this town is one of the markets for trading cotton cloth between Songjiang Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture. The richest man in Suzhou is the world's richest man in Songjiang Cotton cloth. The transactions between these two places are naturally amazing.

Cotton trading is a big business, and both buyers and sellers are rich. The inn has been doing business for the past two months for a year. Wang Tong and his group came to check in, but it was very deserted during the off-season.

According to the previous rules of Suzhou Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture, the officials and village soldiers who escorted Wang Tong and the township soldiers who arrived in Qiandun Town were handed over. Logically speaking, after Wang Tong's group arrived, the people from Songjiang Prefecture should be here to welcome him, but Wang Tong arrived, but he did not see the officials from Songjiang Prefecture there.

The police in Suzhou Prefecture cursed a few words, but they didn't take it seriously. They just tried to ask Wang Shuo:

"Please rest for one night first? Songjiang Prefecture will send someone to greet you tomorrow?"

I just wanted to be lazy, but I didn't expect that Wang Tong would follow the good deeds and said directly:

"I'm here to rest for one night, you can go back."

There is no such thing as this errand, and Wang Tong, a living King of Hell, dare not neglect anyone, and no one is willing to do it. When he heard this, the local tycoon of Suzhou Prefecture was not polite. After thanking him, he returned directly.

"The female family members go to the innermost circle. Each of them sends a dagger. If the thief hits in, they will commit suicide if they don't want to be ruined."

Wang Tong said aloud there, giving the inn shopkeeper dozens of taels of silver. This was a lot during the off-season. The inn shopkeeper and his men left the inn as instructed. That night, the inn was booked down.

After consuming some food for a simple fire, the crowd began to get busy. Zhai Xiuer and Lu Ruomei had no idea what was going on. While they were confused, Wang Tong came over to hand it over to them with a few daggers. When they heard Wang Tong's statement, they usually said life and death, but the women were not afraid, but were shocked.

When Wang Tong turned around and left, the maid was so scared that she cried. Zhai Xiuer had some idea and immediately took her group into the innermost room.

The archers outside began to look for a suitable place to settle down. The musket soldiers began to load ammunition for the muskets in the inn. Someone also brought out a brazier from the kitchen and made a basin of charcoal to light it, preparing to use it as a fire.

Wang Tong and his personal guards were all wearing armor and everyone took the weapons. This inn was a large courtyard with a very spacious area. Wang Tong climbed up the roof and looked around.

There are many grass and trees in the water town of Jiangnan. Although it is a high place on the roof, you can't see too far. Moreover, if it is hidden in the grass and trees, it is difficult to find it.

There are more than a dozen large and small rivers in Wang Tong's vision, and no less than ten can sail. In such a crisscrossing rivers, the same is true for the enemy to come by boat when it gets dark.

However, the advantage is that Qiandun Town is flat and there are not many natives and they do seasonal business, so the inn covers a vast area and the distance between the inn is very large. Wang Tong and others are in charge of the inn, which is actually equivalent to guarding Muzhai on the flat ground, which is somewhat advantageous.

As the sun sets, the sky is about to dark

Before it got dark, Wang Tong sent his subordinates to buy some rice, dried fish and pickled vegetables in the town. I don’t know when it will be cooked at night, and sufficient supplies are necessary.

After nightfall, the people below took advantage of the time when nothing happened to rest and rest. Wang Tong climbed up to the roof and chatted with Chen Dahe. At their position, he could see several archers avoiding the high place. This time, the archers who followed Wang Tong were not ordinary characters. Needless to mention the archery skills, they were also very brave.

"Don't close the door, wait until they come back"

Wang Tong chewed it there as a snack, and said to Chen Dahe while eating. Chen Dahe nodded there and said:

"Please rest assured, the people here are really amazing. When I went in to buy food, the families of the small families here actually ate white rice and salted fish. When I switched to the people in Beizhili, how many times can I eat white flour in a year?"

Listening to Chen Dahe's amazement, Wang Tong looked down at Liu Sanlang checking in the yard. From time to time, he and his guards changed the simple fortifications, but answered:

"The prosperity of Jiangnan is not a story. Ordinary people here can offer their children's studies. How can they be placed in the north?"

Wang Tong replied with a smile. Chen Dahe was just laughing there, picked up a dried fish and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and said again:

"If it's possible in Tianjin and Wei today, ordinary people can also provide their children with their studies. There are also many ways out for public affairs and business schools. These are all made by the Marquis. If they were put in the past, how dare they think about it?"

Chen Dahe is a military family in Jizhen. His family is now arranged to live in Tianjin Wei. If you want to be a good life, you naturally feel that Wang Tong did not answer this. He suddenly remembered that it seemed that the day before yesterday was Mid-Autumn Festival, and this festival passed without realizing it.

At this time, the town had become quiet. It was late at night and the people in the town began to rest. Wang Tong was lying on the roof with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep. The quiet surroundings suddenly became a little restless. Birds cries came from around the inn, as if they were alarmed by something.

Wang Tong turned over and climbed up from the roof. The bird's chirping was the archers hiding outside, which was a signal of an agreed warning.

The people who came here did not want to cover up their own actions. The town that had already gone dark had many torches on the road, and some people shouted loudly:

"The Dragon King passes through the border, and all the people retreat"

The people in the town seemed to know what this slogan meant. They were quiet all over and had no reaction at all. The inn yard was already busy, and the guards began to line up.

"Send a message, do it"

Wang Tong said to Chen Dahe beside him. Chen Dahe nodded, pulled out a loud arrow from the arrow bag, and shot it into the air with a bow.

A sharp whistle sounded in the air, and torches rushing everywhere were immediately a little chaotic, and a sharp roar of arrows breaking through the air sounded everywhere in the inn.

"There are people on the tree" "There are people on that house"

The following exclaimed in Wu dialect one after another, and people screamed and fell down from time to time, but the sharp roar of arrows breaking through the air did not stop.

"There are not many archers, so the person holding the knife cards will go to the front."

Amid the screams and screams, someone shouted loudly in the crowd, driving the thieves forward, and the archers pulled the bow and shot arrows. It was impossible to keep the frequency of the higher frequency. The frequency of the sharp whistle could be heard decreased, and the thieves gradually rushed up.

The archers jumped from their hiding place and began to run towards the inn. The bow and arrow were already far away from the enemy, and they were not far from the inn and could run back safely.

"This group of thieves have some rules and are attacked at night, and they can still deal with it."

Wang Tong said with a smile on the roof, then turned around and shouted at the yard:

"The muskets go out and line up for two rounds, and then come back to guard the archers' arms, all the ones that can be used on the roof."

The following agreed, and the surroundings of the inn gradually became brighter. The thieves holding the torch gradually gathered over. There was a sound of moving heavy objects below, and someone shouted:

"The archer moves aside first, let's go out first"

Looking at this side, twenty guards with muskets ran out of the door, first formed a little, and then walked forward in a row of ten people.

The thieves who surrounded him were all stunned. There were hundreds of people in their own home, but they had only killed more than a dozen arrows and injured dozens of them. They didn't move at all. Why did the other party dare to rush out after twenty people? Is it brave or a bad brain?

Before they could wonder, they saw dozens of steps away, the armored officers and soldiers had stopped, and they slightly straightened their positions and a burst of gunfire sounded. The thief in front of them fell to the sky and the wounded were only killed and injured, but the casualties around them were so scared that they retreated, and they had just gathered together and suddenly became messy.

It was precisely because of this that the twenty musketeers rushed out and reloaded the ammunition leisurely, stepped forward for more than ten steps, turned downward, and started again.

"I have a firearm when I have a damn idea."

Someone was shouting there. The thieves had dispersed in the direction opposite the musket soldiers. After two rounds of fire, the musket soldiers were not in a fight and turned around and retreated to the inn. The guards who had been prepared were about to block the door with obstacles. Wang Tong pondered for a moment and shouted at the bottom:

"Don't close the door, you have to go out. Han Gang, you lead twenty people, go out from the main gate, and rush forward for a hundred steps. No matter what the enemy situation is, you must retreat."

Han Gang was following the order loudly. The team was small in size, but the whole team was easy. Soon, a team of people walked out in big strides.

The musket fired, and the thieves were still a little scared, but they saw a group of officers and soldiers coming out of the inn. Not to mention anything else, the armor was too terrifying, and they seemed to be wrapped in iron sheets. Looking at the soldiers' weapons, they were all spears and big swords. Seeing that the other party was tall and strong, it seemed that there would be no cheapness.

Twenty armored soldiers ran together, and the armored leaves collided and stepped on the ground. Although there were few people, their momentum was also intimidating. The thief in front of him couldn't help but retreat. But he wanted to retreat, but the leaders behind him refused. They pushed a few times there and shouted loudly there.

After all, there were so many people who were brave enough, and there was a military force. In the end, a group of people came forward to meet him. As soon as they arrived, both sides shouted, and the swords and spears were swung out and the screams rang out immediately.

But the thieves quickly reacted and screamed on their own side. The group of officers and soldiers were too strong, but it was not easy to retreat and disperse. The soldiers led by Han Gang had already entered the enemy formation.

"Tan Dahu, you can get twenty people to prepare to replace Han Gang"
