Soon after the few officials sent by Torun left, many residents were mobilized to go out of their homes to help carry all the unconscious caravan members to the position where the prisoners were held.
Now Zhao Ziliang only had a dozen people available.
We still have to guard the prisoners, so we can only carry all the unconscious caravan members to the yard where the prisoners are held and centrally protect them.
The residents of the town were busy.
Zhang Huchen hurriedly came over and clasped his fists at Zhao Ziliang and said: "Master Zhao, I have checked and found no suspicious people.
All the unconscious people were not harmed.
Manager Liu, Manager Dugu, and Manager Liao and Shopkeeper Qin have all been tricked.
Except for a dozen of us, no one else is awake."
Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and thought to himself, who was the person who drugged him?
Who could approach the kitchen of the caravan and drug him without being discovered?
Is the person who drugged him the same as the incoming robbers?
Before I could figure it out, I heard the sound of fighting and roaring coming from another street.
This town is only so big, with one street on the north and one on the south, with a crossroads in the middle.
Both streets are not long, only two hundred meters.
So as long as you shout loudly, most residents can hear it.
Zhao Ziliang's expression changed, and he immediately raised his chin to Zhang Huchen and Gu Tong, "Maybe Bart has discovered the enemy.
Go and have a look."
"Yes" Zhang Huchen and Gu Tong agreed, clasping their fists, turning around and running in the direction where the fighting sound came from.
When Torun heard that an enemy had appeared, his face turned pale with fright, his arms trembled, his lips trembled, and he was speechless.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Ziliang said to him: "Master Tolun, you don't have to be afraid.
The enemy can't attack here yet.
Let's do this.
I think the residents are a bit slow.
Go and urge them to speed up.
The robbers are very quick."
We'll be here soon.
After carrying everyone in the caravan, you and all the residents should hide nearby and don't make any noise.
I'll leave the outside to me."
Tolun was a little worried, looked at Zhao Ziliang and said: "There are only three of you, can you do it?"
"Don't worry, I have a way to repel the bandits' attack.
You just need to take care of yourselves.
The drugs administered by the bandits and our caravan guards have a time limit.
As long as we survive this time limit, the guards can wake up" Toren hesitated and said, "Okay then."
After a while, Zhang Ben returned on horseback with eight scouts sent out to investigate.
Also returning at the same time were the mercenaries Arut and Dio.
Zhang Ben jumped off the horse, clasped his fists and said: "The enemy is only six miles away from here.
They had thirty horses, and the remaining more than five hundred people came on foot.
They had sixteen bows and various weapons.
I left two brothers to keep an eye on them.
If the situation changes, they will come back immediately to report."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and ordered: "Send one person at the entrance of the town in each of the four directions, southeast, northwest, and keep an eye on it.
The others will follow me."
"Understood" Zhang Bi immediately sent four people to stand guard at the entrance of the town in four directions, and then followed Zhao Ziliang with four other people and two mercenaries.
Zhao Ziliang led Zhang Bi and others on horseback and quickly rushed to the location where the sound of fighting came from, but did not find Zhang Huchen, Bart, Gu Tong and others.
After reining in his horse and stopping, Zhao Ziliang found eight corpses, a large amount of blood, and several broken copper-like weapons.

The mercenary Dio jumped off his horse and squatted on the ground to observe.
He followed some blood stains and walked forward.
After walking for a while, he turned back and said, "The blood stains extend over there."
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Follow the blood trail and let's go."
The crowd followed the blood trail to a small alley on horseback.
There was a faint sound of fighting again.
Zhao Ziliang immediately waved his hand: "Look, let's see where the sound came from."
"yes" Everyone drew their weapons and dispersed, rushing into each house to search.
For a while, the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets could be heard in each house, and soon a cry came from one room: "Here" Zhao Ziliang immediately jumped off his horse and shouted to the other people who came over: "Leave two people on guard outside, and the others will follow me inside."
This was a large courtyard, but it seemed a bit deserted.
Zhao Ziliang led Zhang Bi and others into the courtyard and heard the sound of fighting coming from the backyard.
However, the outer courtyard was filled with bags of grain.
As high as a hill.
Zhao Ziliang did not immediately, but strode into the inner courtyard.
He saw Zhang Huchen, Gu Tong and Bart fighting with 20 or 30 bandit-like men, and more than 20 people were already dead on the ground.
At this time, the three men The people were being besieged by these gangsters.
However, these gangsters' fighting power was not very good.
They just took advantage of the large number of people to surround the three people in the middle, but they did not dare to attack too recklessly.
"Kill!"
Zhao Ziliang roared, and rushed forward with a sword in his hand.
He slashed the person with his back to him twice in a row.
Zhang Bi, Arut, Dio, and four other bodyguards also rushed over with their swords in hand.
The killings left the gangsters in a state of chaos.
Zhao Ziliang is so powerful.
The siege of the twenty or thirty fierce bandits was broken up by him, Zhang Bi and others.
After Zhang Huchen, Bart, Gu Tong and others were freed up, they all killed together.
Soon, Kill these twenty or thirty tough bandits until only a few are left.
"Kill them all, leave a few alive," Zhao Ziliang sheathed his sword and shouted to Zhang Bi and others.
Everyone else was killed, and only three gangsters were escorted by Zhang Bi and others to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Who are you?
If you don't want me to chop you into pieces, just tell me."
The mercenary Gu Tong immediately translated Zhao Ziliang's words.
One of the three gangsters was frightened when he saw how brave Zhao Ziliang and others were, and immediately started to murmur.
After hearing this, Gu Tong translated for Zhao Ziliang and others: "He said that they are all members of the bandit leader Uhema, but after Uhema and others were killed by us, they have been hiding here to guard this area from the town.
The property and food stolen from Uhema Mountain yesterday.
A man named Malos came to the village's lair.
This man was Uhema's accountant.
He told the people who were guarding the food and property that Uhema's village had been breached by Gaitea's men.
Now the old man on the mountain All the weak women and children are in the hands of Gaetia.
If not He wanted to be loyal to Getea if something happened to his family members.
Malos and a few people bought a cow from the village outside and killed it.
He also bought a cart of vegetables and brought them to the town on a cart to sell.
He figured that we would buy it. some food and vegetables, so Manager Liao bought them After eating their beef and vegetables, they drugged the beef without telling Manager Liao on the way to the kitchen on a cart.
The others ate the drugged beef.
Malos, who was in a coma, immediately after the incident.

Send two people to sneak out of the town and report to Gaetia."
Bart said: "Just now we came out to check and search, and we bumped into ten of them.
They went out from here to kill our fascinated people, so they started fighting, and we killed eight of them.
The man named Malos Among them, the remaining two escaped here with injuries, and we chased them all the way here and fought again."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, looked at the three captured gangsters and asked, "Besides the stolen food in the outer courtyard, where are the other belongings?"
"Say" Zhang Bi held a knife to the neck of a gangster.
Gu Tong translated again, and the gangster immediately pointed to a house next to him.
"Kill them all," Zhao Ziliang said, turned around and walked out, and immediately there were three screams behind him.
Zhang Bi and others quickly followed out.
Zhao Ziliang ordered as he walked: "The bandit leader Gaitea must have known that the food and property that Uhema stole in the town were secretly kept here, otherwise he would We won't send that man named Malos to drug us.
This is A greedy person.
It seems that he not only wants to steal our goods, but also wants to take away all the food and property stolen from the town.
He sent two people to guard here.
If Getea and the others come here, Move the food and belongings, and those who are left behind will immediately withdraw to join us and report the situation."
"Yes" Zhang Bi agreed and arranged for two more bodyguards to stay and guard the food and property.
At this time, the residents of the town had moved the unconscious caravan members to the yard where the prisoners were held.
Zhao Ziliang took Zhang Bi and others to the crossroads in the middle of the town.
After thinking for a while, they came to the place where the prisoners were held.
Now The whole town's residents are here.
Tuolun saw Zhao Ziliang and others coming, and immediately walked over and asked: "Master Zhao, how is the situation?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "We have killed all the bandits hiding in the town.
You also know that there are more than 600 bandits coming outside.
Although the combat power of us and the remaining bodyguards is good, it is also very difficult.
It is difficult to defend the entire town.
I need the help of the residents of the town.
I hope that adult men can stand up and pick up weapons to resist these bandits with us.
We have We have found the food and property that were stolen from the residents.
If they are willing to join us in resisting the bandits' attack, we will return the food and property to them after the bandits are repelled.
But if we cannot defend the town, Not only will food and property be robbed again, but all of us may be killed.
I hope Lord Torun can subdue the villagers in the town."
Torun thought about it and agreed: "Okay, I'll give it a try.
As for whether they will listen to me, I can't guarantee it."
Torun immediately sent someone to shout, called all the residents out of each house, and explained the situation in detail.
This guy did have some ability, and his words were very convincing.
Adult men among the residents stepped forward one after another.
Expressed willingness to join the caravan guards in resisting bandit attacks Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered Zhang Bi: "Didn't we seize some bandits' weapons?
Take them to each of them to get a weapon.
If there is not enough, use a hoe, kitchen knife or other tools, as long as they can hurt people and kill people.
After receiving the weapons, Meet at the street entrance” "Understood" Zhang Bi clasped his fists and waved to the town residents in front of him: "I will take you to collect the weapons, everyone follow me."
The residents quickly received a weapon each and met again at the intersection of the two streets.
Zhao Ziliang immediately made arrangements: "Zhang Bi, you take a quarter of the residents to guard the south entrance of the town; Zhang Huchen takes a quarter. of the people to guard the north entrance of the town; Bart took a quarter of the people to guard the east entrance of the town, and the remaining quarter stayed here to be ready to support the other three entrance mercenaries Gu Tong, Arut, and Dio.
He and the remaining six bodyguards all carried bows and arrows to the roof."
Everyone agreed and went to their posts with their troops
