Chapter 16 Horse Thief? Seeking Death!
Qin Ming and Pei Zhi and his party quickly arrived at the entrance of the town.
The entrance where they first entered the town.
The town guards wore simple leather armor, holding red tassel spears in their hands, and trembling as they faced the crowd in front of them.
The crowd in front of them was fat and strong, riding tall horses, and the machetes in their hands flashed coldly.
Qin Ming saw the expressions on the faces of these horse thieves from afar.
Some showed disdainful smiles, some had cold expressions, and looked at the guards with eyes that were no different from looking at dead people!
Others showed bloodthirsty smiles, but that smile was extremely creepy, which made the guards feel cold in their hearts.
Looking at their clothes, the identities of these people are beyond doubt.
Horse thieves, or rather, horse bandits!
These bandits who rob on horseback are usually rampant and unscrupulous!
These guys have done a lot of murders, robberies, and robberies!
They had come to this town to plunder several times before.
After noticing that the town's defense force was seriously empty, these horse thieves had completely set their sights on this place.
And this time, the horse thieves happened to run into Qin Ming and others who were about to leave here!
Qin Ming was in a hurry, and when he left the city, the Qingjia Army did not completely catch up.
Only Pei Zhi and Guan Yu led dozens of heavy armored elite soldiers to escort him.
More Qingjia Army was marching behind.
On the horse thieves' side, the third in command Guo Rong sat casually on a tall horse, glancing at the vigilant town guards with contempt.
These poorly equipped militiamen were nothing in his eyes!
He brought hundreds of brothers with him, which was more than enough to deal with these militiamen.
After dealing with the militiamen, the next step was to plunder this town!
These guys would never have thought of it after several attempts to attack on weekdays!
This time, he was serious!
Looking at the militia whose number had not increased much, Guo Rong secretly mocked in his heart.
This small town is just a small town, and the county magistrate is also a brainless person!
He made several tentative attacks, did they really think that these horse thieves were easy to mess with?
They didn't even report to the court, attracting the army to besiege?
In this case, don't blame him for being ruthless!
He will not give this small town any more time!
Burn, kill, rob and loot!
The name of horse thieves is not blown, but cut one by one!
A fierce look flashed across Guo Rong's honest face.
As a horse thief, he naturally has no good heart.
The previous few times did not make a big fuss, just stopped at the point and left.
And this time, he has figured out the defense strength of this town, and he has the confidence to plunder the entire town!
This time, he called nearly half of the brothers in the mountain stronghold, and he also had the support of Cui Hu, the second in command of the mountain stronghold!
Taking such a small town, isn't it easy? !
Guo Rong looked at his mighty troops, full of confidence.
He brought so many brothers with him, and the results of this looting will surely be a great harvest!
At this moment, he happened to see Qin Ming and others walking out of the city gate.
Everyone's eyes soon fell on Qin Ming.
When they saw the luxurious clothes on Qin Ming, their eyes narrowed quickly.
This looks like a big fish!
But when their eyes fell on Pei Zhi next to Qin Ming, their eyes suddenly became sharp.
As horse thieves, they were very familiar with the clothes on Pei Zhi!
This is the famous Great Yan Army in the entire Great Yan Dynasty!
And Pei Zhi's dress does not look like an ordinary character in the Great Yan Army!
The third in command among the horse thieves, Guo Rong's strong body almost instantly tensed up.
Holding the long knife tightly in his palm, he stared at the clothes on Pei Zhi.
"This is... the leader of the Great Yan Army?!"
There was some doubt in his eyes.
Before Guo Rong became the third leader of the mountain stronghold, he had served in the Great Yan Army for a period of time.
The clothes worn by Pei Zhi can only be worn by the leader of the Great Yan Army!
Although he only saw it from a distance when he was a soldier before.
But he will never forget it!
Who is the leader of the Great Yan Army? They are all people who lead thousands of troops!
But shouldn't these leaders lead the army to expand the territory for the Great Yan Dynasty?
Now, how come people of this level are not at the border, but appear here?
The moment he saw Pei Zhi, Guo Rong almost wanted to lead his brothers to run away.
This is fucking, they thought this small town had no defense.
When others called for reinforcements, it turned out to be the leader of the Great Yan Army!
This leader has thousands of people under his command. How can these brothers in the mountain stronghold be the opponents of the battle-hardened Great Yan soldiers?
But soon, he quickly pulled the reins and stopped the idea of retreating.
He was full of suspicion at this moment.
Why aren't there a few soldiers around the leader of the Great Yan Army?
There are only a few dozen soldiers in green armor.
Could it be?
The leader of the Great Yan Army did not lead the army on this trip?
With such a small number of troops, doesn't this give them a chance?
Many brothers in their village died at the hands of the Great Yan Army!
This is a good opportunity for revenge!
Qin Ming looked at Guo Rong among the bandits with some surprise.
Guo Rong could actually reveal Pei Zhi's identity with just one sentence.
It was a bit unexpected for him.
Fortunately, the thing that Qin Ming was most worried about did not happen.
Although Guo Rong recognized Pei Zhi's identity as the leader of the Great Yan Army, he was not scared away!
Qin Ming felt the other party's malicious eyes fall on him.
He was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The other party recognized Pei Zhi, but it seemed that he had no intention of retreating.
He even fixed his eyes on himself.
Qin Ming's heart was clear.
Pei Zhi's intention was too obvious.
This action of protecting Qin Ming showed everywhere that Qin Ming's identity was special!
And it was this action, coupled with the dozens of vigilant Qingjia soldiers around him, that attracted the horse thief Guo Rong even more!
Needless to say, Qin Ming's identity must be extremely noble!
Even the leader of the Great Yan Army was below him!
And such a person, with only so few people around him!
How could Guo Rong not have ideas? !
Guo Rong hesitated for a while, and the greed in his heart still defeated reason.
If it was only Pei Zhi, he would definitely not choose to surround and kill him.
After all, the death of the commander of the Great Yan Army under the emperor's nose is no less than a slap in the face of the court!
What awaits the horse thieves must be a fatal encirclement and suppression by the court!
The gain does not make up for the loss.
But it's different now!
The appearance of Qin Ming soon made the third in command of the mountain stronghold smell a hint of unique breath!
He can almost be sure that Qin Ming is definitely the son of a prince or minister of the current dynasty!
As long as he can be captured alive, a lifetime of wealth and glory will be in front of him!
Why be a horse thief?
Thinking of this, Guo Rong's eyes flashed with murderous light.
"Little guys, come on!"
"Leave that pretty boy to me! Kill all the others!"
