Chapter 87 Capture the Thief

On this day, Ma Mingfeng and others' ships arrived in Tianjin, which was not far from the capital. Ma Mingfeng and others were preparing to rest and head directly to the capital.

So the group of people got off the boat and prepared to go to the market to replenish some supplies, and then find a restaurant to have a good meal.

However, not long after they got off the boat, they suddenly saw a stream of smoke and dust rolling up not far away, and then the sound of horse hooves came over.

Just when everyone was shocked, a shout came from afar: "The Qing army is coming, everyone run away quickly."

When this came, many people around were panicked and fled in all directions. Many merchants originally wanted to load and unload goods, but they ignored them at this time. They put on them and directly urged the ship owner to drive the ship. At the dock, they ran around like headless flies.

Of course, ordinary people would not run in the direction where smoke and dust were, because everyone could see that the Qing army's cavalry came from where, and wherever they ran was undoubtedly a death.

However, there are no exceptions. Ma Mingfeng and others are heading towards the direction where the smoke and dust are.

This shocked everyone who saw this scene, especially the guests on the same boat as Ma Mingfeng. When they saw this scene, they even sighed silently. Did these people lose their hearts and go to die?

There were also a few kind merchants who loudly reminded Ma Mingfeng and the others to come back, but they seemed to have not heard it and continued to walk forward.

Of course, Ma Mingfeng and the others were not crazy. This was mainly because Ma Mingfeng's command was elite soldiers who came out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and had a lot of combat experience. In fact, there was a soldier named Chen Shijie, who was originally an elite soldier under Han Daoba. He had a unique ability. He could tell how many people the other party had just listened to the sound. Although it seemed like an army of thousands of people from afar, Chen Shijie calmly judged that the other party was only a dozen horses, and the sound of horse hooves was messy. It looked like a well-trained Qing cavalry, but instead it was like a bandit-like horse.

As for the huge smoke and dust, it is naturally because someone tied branches to the tail of a horse. When the war horses ran, they would roll up huge smoke and dust on the ground. From a distance, it looked like many cavalry arrived at the same time. It is not difficult to imagine that Zhang Fei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms once used this strategy.

After hearing Chen Shijie's analysis, Ma Mingfeng suddenly said, "Isn't this a group of horses deliberately pretending to be Qing soldiers and want to rob property?"

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Ma Mingfeng's words were at the right point. In fact, when fighting at the border, they encountered some retreating border soldiers who deliberately pretended to be Qing people to rob property. It seemed that these loud horses were the same. They wanted to take advantage of the mentality of the Qing people who had just plundered by the Qing people, and rob people and things under the name of Qing people.

Ma Mingfeng and others were very annoyed by such people because they did not resist when they came from foreign enemies, but now they are using the names of foreign enemies to bully their own people. It is really damn!

So Ma Mingfeng exchanged glances with everyone, and this time he wanted to eliminate harm for the people.

Because it was a long journey, everyone brought short weapons such as swords and other short weapons this time. It was actually not easy to kill people riding horses, but they also had short crossbows on them, which was a different matter.

However, although the short crossbow can kill enemies at a long range, its power is weaker. Therefore, if you want to kill enemies, you mainly rely on unexpected surprises and you must hit the deadly attack.

Another thing is that Ma Mingfeng and others want to eliminate the roots, so they cannot let the group run away, so as not to come out and harm others again, so they must find a way to gather these bandits and horses together.

Several people discussed and cut down several small trees on the bank of the river, making them into wooden sticks that were 100 meters away. They formed a defensive formation, all holding wooden sticks in the middle of the road.

In fact, if it is a cavalry forming a formation, Ma Mingfeng and others are really not enough to see it. However, these bandits and horses are just riding horses, so how can they know what formation? They are loose and loose, so that Ma Mingfeng and others can work if they hold a wooden stick that is ten feet long. The opponent's horse will take the wooden stick and poke it directly on, and they can only stop the horse helplessly.

At this time, a bearded man at the front of the team stared at Ma Mingfeng and others, shouting loudly: "Who are you? Even my Qing army dares to stop it? I can tell you that our team of troops is behind. If you don't let go, my Qing cavalry will step you into meat paste!"

Ma Mingfeng and others sneered and remained unmoved.

When the bearded man saw this scene, he was immediately angry. His voice became louder. He pulled out the knife in his hand and said furiously: "Didn't you hear what I said just now? Do it quickly, otherwise I will chop you down!"

But a young man sneered and said, "Now don't pretend anymore? Hehe, what Qing soldiers? You still want to pretend to be Qing soldiers with your virtue? You tie branches on your horse's tail, and then you said there is a Qing army behind you? Where are the Qing army members? We are waiting for them."

The bearded man snorted, "Since I can't pretend anymore, I'll just stop pretending. Anyway, the guards here dare not come for a while. Let's just chop you up? Brothers, kill me...ah..."

The bearded man said half of a word but could no longer say it. He just saw a cold light suddenly shot out from a man's sleeve next to the boy. He wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The cold light shot directly through his throat...

The bearded man screamed, and the dead body hit the ground directly. His seated horse screamed in shock and ran away.

"Big, brother is dead!" The bandits behind the bearded man were shocked to see this and turned around to escape.

At this time, someone heard a loud voice saying, "Don't run away, the other party just has a short crossbow in his hand. Let's go up together and just chop them directly. I ran away, but I won't get anything today."

Ma Mingfeng looked up and saw that the man had a stinging face on his face and staring at a pair of triangular eyes. He looked like he was not a kind person.

And at this time the man had already protected his throat. It was probably impossible to shoot him to death with a short crossbow.

However, Ma Mingfeng knew that if these people really stalked and killed people, it would be difficult for them to deal with. After all, they were on the horse, and these people on the side were really at a disadvantage.

Ma Mingfeng suddenly thought that he had a move in Yu Dayou's sword scripture before, which could directly sweep the opponent's horse's legs, so that the opponent could only fall off the horse. As long as the opponent fell, he could take the opportunity to capture or kill him alive.

"I am the only one who can do this at this point. Although Brother Yu is more confident, the other party is guarding Brother Yu."

When Ma Mingfeng thought of this, he pretended to be tired and put the stick down. Then, taking advantage of the pockmarked face, he swept forward with his arms and rushed forward with all his arms. With a click, the pockmarked face was directly broken. The horse's front legs were directly broken. The horse screamed with a sorrow and knelt directly on the ground, throwing the pockmarked face to the ground.

Mazi's face suddenly encountered an accident. Before he could react, a young man jumped onto him and then a bright sword straddled his neck.

I could only hear a voice above my head and shouted, "Don't move, I'll kill him if anyone moves!"
