Chapter 323 The Hidden One 2
Then, a group of people stepped on the wooden boards and benches on the fence, and jumped into the outer courtyard of the inn one after another; followed by the second group, and the third group... Then, some people began to hand them over and were loaded Clay pots full of kerosene and other containers are ready to be poured near the main building.

The next moment, I heard a crisp snap, but it was one of the people standing on the inside of the fence, holding a large bottle of lamp oil in his hand; it burst open brittlely.The clear and colorless lamp oil splashed all over the ground, and at the same time splashed on him and his surrounding companions.
However, the shopkeeper who had already stood on the fence suddenly changed his face, and shouted anxiously: "Be careful..." Before the words fell; suddenly, there was a short crackling sound from the main building of the hotel; At the nailed window, dozens of fires suddenly flashed.

The armed men and their companions who were holding containers full of kerosene fell down one after another in response to the sound; at the same time, they also dropped the kerosene in the containers to the ground and splashed them in all directions.The next moment, many fire arrows were fired from the hotel window.

While penetrating through the armed men in the courtyard, it also ignited the lamp oil splashed on the ground and their bodies; in an instant, as the continuous flames evaporated, at least a dozen firemen were ignited, and the panicked people in the courtyard He ran wildly and ignited more accomplices.

For a moment, under the bright and dazzling firelight in the yard, the armed men inside and outside the fence were also forced to appear in the darkness; it was surprising that they half surrounded the inn, and there were hundreds of them armed with various knives and guns, even They are all kinds of villagers and fellows who transform farm tools.

It's just that they don't have the humbleness and caution in the daytime, and their hideous faces full of longing and appeals are full of dazed and bewildered expressions.He could only watch through the fence, and the dozens of accomplices who were deep in the fire and screaming were faintly agitated and didn't know what to do.

Until the voice of the middle-aged shopkeeper woke them up again: "Don't panic, serve them all together, there are not many people who are sober inside." With the shouting, the shopkeeper personally led more than ten people, took The burly fellow with the window panel of the pot cover slammed open the main door several times.

Inspired by his example, the armed villagers outside the wall finally reacted, and they were filled with short-term courage and blood again; they swarmed inward with loud clamor; The outer gates of the garden were knocked down.

However, just like what the shop owner claimed, there are not many sober people in the several-storey hotel. Therefore, in addition to another round of firecrackers, after knocking down a few villagers who first poured into it on the spot, only The remaining sporadic arrows shot continuously through it.

Therefore, in less than a quarter of an hour, the armed men headed by the hotel clerk knocked over and trampled on those severely burned and groaning accomplices, and had successfully rushed to the downstairs of the hotel; Smash up those doors and windows that were blocked from the inside.

However, the next moment, the thugs who were sticking to the wall screamed.However, he was killed by the swords and spearheads that were suddenly pierced along the doors, windows and the gaps in the walls, and he immediately lay down and wailed all over the ground dripping with blood.However, their red-eyed eyes rushed forward again.

Also use the knife and fork in his hand to stab the inside through the gap; then the shopkeeper who jumped in a hurry shouted again: "Don't push in any more, use the rope to pull it out." Just pull it away." At this moment, everyone came to their senses and took out the ropes hanging around their waists.

However, just as they dodged, the stabbing from the gap inside successfully put several leather ropes for tying cattle/people to the edge of the tattered door and window; suddenly they heard a voice coming from above, There were shouts and curses mixed with foreign slang and dialect; then, several big splashes of boiling water poured down.

In an instant, there were screams and screams, and a large group of armed villagers gathered downstairs were shrouded in a cloud of smoke caused by boiling water and steam.When the short-term smoke finally dissipated, there was only a mess of rolling, struggling and moaning human bodies left on the ground.

"Don't stop, they only have women left." At this moment, the shopkeeper's exasperated scream sounded again: as if to confirm his statement, the firecrackers upstairs were no longer firing, and the crossbow The arrows also became more and more sparse; the door panel downstairs cracked even more loudly.

As a result, those armed thugs/villagers in the outside world, who were already more or less retreating after repeated setbacks, finally raised their feet and rushed into the courtyard again under the promise of more benefits and benefits than before; without hesitation And sympathetically stepped on a friend whose life and death were unknown.

This time, with almost no rest or damage, they smashed open the few remaining door panels and rushed into the lobby on the first floor of the hotel; then they were blocked again in the dimly lit lobby, and obstacles piled up quickly Between, but can not see any resisters.

Just as they were facing each other, suddenly a pile of broken furniture on the side in front of them suddenly fell down and a group of people rushed out; they immediately went up to fight, but in the midst of hacking and killing, after several people died; He was stopped by a familiar voice; it was an accomplice who broke in from the door.

At this time, some of the people who had been summoned could no longer hold back the anger and indignation in their hearts, accusing and yelling at each other on the spot; they were about to start a fire on the spot in the cleaned-up lobby.However, when they heard a few heavy objects falling to the ground, everyone couldn't help turning their heads.

But I only saw a few cloth bags that were emitting smoke, and I couldn't help but kick them up in a venting way; then, a cloud of sparks and smoke exploded, and the person was also blown out on the spot , together with the companion who was close at hand, also fell to the ground in the fan shape of ear and nose bleeding.

Before the shocked other people could react, these smoking cloth bags exploded one after another in the relatively closed lobby space.The air waves that exploded privately in an instant billowed and reflected on the four walls one after another, knocking down and overturning the crowd in the lobby.

There are also many metal and ceramic fragments wrapped in it, and the skin of the surrounding human body is torn apart and bloody, causing more damage.At this time, the sound of heavy footsteps came from the top of the stairs in the middle, but it was a group of soldiers in full body armor filing down.

They wore chain jerseys or leather armor studded with spangles;Facing the few people left standing in the lobby, nailed iron boots trampled on the corpses and bloody water, rampaging over...

Then amidst the screams that erupted one after another, only one survivor was able to break through the door covered in blood from the back kitchen; And the armed villagers outside the fence have also been flawless since ancient times.

Because, just when they were all blocked in front of the hotel yard, two groups of soldiers suddenly rushed out from the side and rear; surrounded them in reverse, and rushed to kill them all by surprise; among them was a giant bald man , beat and killed a full seven or eight villagers with his own hands.

And another swordsman in black with a stabbing sword and a flying cloak was drenched in blood; then he flew to catch up with the commander in the middle, but seeing that the situation was not good, surrounded by several accomplices, he turned around and fled in a hurry shopkeepers; a few swipes knocked them down, leaving only the shopkeepers.

At this time, dozens of soldiers rushed out of several floors of the hotel again.Some of them were holding long knives, some were holding short spears, and some were holding sparkling arquebus guns, or wound crossbows and crossbows, advancing and killing the armed mobs/villagers who fled into the courtyard one by one.

Just a moment later, these hundreds of thugs/villagers completely collapsed under the combined attack from three directions.In the end, except for the dozens of people who were able to escape in the night because they were close to the periphery, the remaining more than a hundred people lost their fighting spirit and became captives.

However, apart from the shopkeeper whose tendons in his hands and feet had been severed, the cloaked man who was standing beside him disappeared in the chaos.Immediately afterwards, there was an intensive surprise interrogation of these thugs who attacked overnight, and the shopkeeper was the most important point.

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was stripped naked and tied to the grill that was originally used to cook pigs and sheep; and Podos, whose voice became hoarse due to vomiting, was in charge of cooking on the spot.So, almost at the third maturity, he couldn't help but start confessing.

First of all, this hotel is undoubtedly a black shop, and it is a black shop with a certain background.Therefore, in the more than 20 years since its opening and operation, it has harmed countless passers-by and tourists.It's just that in the usual years, they only attack pedestrians and merchants who are alone.

Usually, it was a normal road hotel, and at most it accommodated and hid a bunch of robbers, wanted criminals and the like.But since the kingdom fell into chaos and turmoil, they reached a further "mutually beneficial" cooperation agreement with nearby thieves and neighboring villages.

It's almost like the thieves are used as foreign aid, the hotel is the internal support, and the village is responsible for the aftermath and the sale of stolen goods.Therefore, in the stove of the back kitchen of the hotel, the items hidden by the owner were quickly found, including some personal items besides coins and jewelry.

For example, ladies' folding fans with carved ivory handles that are only popular in cities, refined whale oil for beard maintenance, and aroma chains that are only available to priests in the church. In the end, they even found the bronze badges of several lieutenants and a Lieutenant Colonel's silver badge, and letter of commission...

Obviously, under the consecutive defeats of the Royal Army, many deserters or passing soldiers have been murdered by them.However, the matter is not over, or it has just begun; then Jiang Tian ordered: "Surround that village and make sure no one can escape."
