Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 204 The Bandit Attacks
The night is getting deeper, the town is very quiet, no one knows when the storm behind the quiet will come.

The hotel owner and a few guys didn't dare to sleep at all. They took turns standing in front of the window to observe the situation outside.

But midnight had passed, and there was no movement at all. A guy turned around and asked the boss:

"Shopkeeper, are the bandits afraid to come? Now it's past midnight, and I feel like nothing will happen tonight."

The shopkeeper shook his head:
"No, they have the support of the government, and they will never be afraid of these twenty people. Maybe because the opponent has guns, they are planning to launch a surprise attack."

When the shopkeeper was talking to the buddy, at the foot of the mountain outside the town, a team was waiting for the order to start. These people were the thieves on the mountain.

, The reason why they have been rampant for so long, of course, is not without a little brain. When Wang Meng received Ma San's report, he was furious, and immediately prepared to send troops to flatten the town.

But his military adviser said something to stop him:

"Second Master, don't be careless. This group of people is definitely not simple. We don't have a few guns now, but they have twenty muskets. We should investigate their background before starting to act."

In the Ming Dynasty, local armed forces and vassal kings were not allowed to have firearms troops, especially red cannons and tiger crouching cannons. Those who disobeyed were considered treason.

Zhu Youjian and the others actually had firearms, which made the bandits a little wary, especially their military adviser Song Ping, who even suspected that the other party had a great background.

The second master is Wang Meng, the leader of the bandits, and the third master is just a small mountain patrolling leader named Ma San.

The reason why Wang Meng is called the second master is because of the existence of the uncle Wang Qiang. Of course, only a few people know the way here.

There are four fierce tigers on Wang Mang Mountain, the four tigers are the four right-hand men under Wang Meng's command, the white tiger, the black tiger, the blue tiger, the flower tiger, and the four Jiangyang thieves, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts.

The bandits are all waiting for one person, Baihu, one of the four tigers, who is ordered to go to Zezhou to inquire about Wang Qiang's news, mainly worried that some officials from the court will come here quietly.

It wasn't until after the third watch that the white tiger came in a hurry:
"Second Lord, I've made inquiries. The uncle said that he hasn't heard of any officials coming to Zezhou Mansion recently, but he still reminds us not to go too far, and we should stop in moderation."

Wang Meng was not tall and was fully armed. Most of the team behind him were wearing armor and horses, and there were even a dozen firecrackers. The entire team of bandits was better equipped than the average local government army.

Hearing that his elder brother asked him to stop in moderation, Wang Meng snorted coldly:
"It's not the best private visit by the high officials of the court. If you dare to kill five of us in my territory, Second Master, I can't stop here. Let's set out to wash the Ping'an store and flatten Qingshan Town."

"Set off……"

"Da da da……"

Only some old, weak, sick and disabled were left to guard the cottage, and Wang Meng led almost all the soldiers and generals who could fight and rushed towards Qingyun Town, preparing to wash the town with blood.

At this time, most of the few residents in the small town have already fallen asleep, and the owner of the Ping An Hotel and his fellows are also dozing off.

It will be bright in three hours, and they all think that the bandits will not go down the mountain tonight.

Qinglong and Ahqing stayed on the two roofs respectively, and beside them were sharpshooters of the royal guard.

Although they knew that there must be a lot of noise when the other party came, but for the safety of the emperor, no one dared to relax, and one carelessness might cause irreparable mistakes.

It's not that they look down on the emperor's skills, they really dare not gamble, no one can afford to lose.

Qinglong Ahqing sat cross-legged on the roof, motionless, like two statues, but the ears of the two were always listening carefully to all the movements in the dark night.

"Whizzing……"

Suddenly a black shadow quickly jumped onto the roof, and the guards aimed their guns at the shadow immediately. When they saw clearly that it was Yuhuatian, the governor of the West Factory, they all aimed their guns at the intersection again.

"Miss Aqing, Commander Qinglong, they are here, about six to seven hundred people, all cavalry."

Hearing that they were all cavalry, Qinglong and Ah Qing were secretly surprised, what kind of bandits are so fierce, they are all cavalry, this group of bandits is really extraordinary.

"Da da da……"

Sure enough, Yuhuatian's news was very accurate. Not long after they finished speaking, there was a loud sound of horseshoes, and then a fire dragon was seen moving quickly here.

"Come on, everyone, be more energetic."

Ah Qing ordered the guards, and immediately drew out her two guns. Her action surprised Yu Huatian:
"Miss Ah Qing, you can play this too?"

Qinglong stretched out his hand and patted Yuhuatian's shoulder and said with a smile:

"It's a crime to disobey the master. This commander has already been defeated by Miss Ah Qing. When you are free, the governor will try it too?"

Yu Huatian hurriedly shook his head:

"No, Miss Ah Qing is a popular person around the emperor. This governor just admits defeat, unlike some people who have to compete. So what if you win..."

Qinglong didn't expect that Yuhuatian, who was always not good at talking, would actually say that. At that time, he was a little impatient and called out all the eunuchs.

"You...you great eunuch..."

"You two, you two are talking nonsense, I tell the lord to go."

One sentence from Ah Qing immediately made the two of them shut up, they could not offend the emperor, one sentence would wipe them out.

Although they looked at Ah Qing as if they were saying, are you still a girl, but none of them dared to say it, and they seemed very obedient on the surface.

The hotel manager and staff who were dozing off in the room were surprised by the sound of horseshoes. They all looked out the window and were immediately frightened by a group of huge fire dragons.

"No, the bandit is still here, what should I do..."

The two guests who chose to believe in Zhu Youjian were also awakened by the horseshoe at this time, and they stood up and looked out the window. When they saw the endless fire dragon, they collapsed to the ground.

"My God, there are so many people here, even if they stand still and ask us to behead, they will exhaust us to death. It's over, it's over..."

"Kill, kill all the troublemakers..."

When they were more than 300 meters away from the town, the group of bandits launched a charge and went straight to the Ping An Hotel, throwing torches at some houses along the way.

Some houses caught fire very quickly. Fortunately, the people in the room were scared away, otherwise serious casualties would definitely be caused. The eyes of Qinglong and the three immediately widened.

"Surround this hotel quickly, and don't let anyone in it go."

Wang Meng rode on the horse, wielding a big knife and commanding the minions to smash and burn the hotel. The four tigers rose from the horse almost at the same time, and flew onto the roofs of three buildings.

They are all Jiangyang thieves, they never act together with the thieves, and every time they stuff something valuable into their arms before the thieves.

Tonight they are still the same as before. They heard that a wealthy businessman appeared in the hotel, so how could they not act first.

Bai Hu was the first to go up to the room, but before he could stand firmly on the roof, he suddenly found a pretty big beauty standing in front of him, dressed in red like a fairy descending to earth.

The fairy also held two things similar to firecrackers, and the black muzzles of the guns were facing his head.
