"Sir, why is this?"

Chen Ming asked carefully, his garrison was responsible for guarding the hunting ground and was also maintained on weekdays. Why did the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guard come so much, and regard the people here as enemies?

So now he is still a little confused. He is guarding here well and cannot restrain himself on weekdays. No one violates the law and discipline. Why is he treated like an enemy now? This makes people a little confused!

Zhang Sixi did not answer, but asked: "How many people are there in total?"

In his eyes, there were quite a few soldiers in front of him, but they were still a bit short of nearly a thousand people.

Chen Ming said: "If you include the last general, there are a total of 987 people registered."

Zhang Sixi then asked, "Are you sure it's this number?"

Chen Ming said, "Sir, can the general dare to make a false act at the feet of this emperor?"

Zhang Sixi said: "I didn't say you were cheating, I was just reminding you. If some other people get in, you, as a thousand households, will be blamed!"

Chen Ming was a little confused. He didn't understand what Zhang Sixi meant by other people scrambling in, so he asked carefully: "Sir, what period has happened? Did anyone here commit any of my soldiers?"

It was not just Jinyiwei who came, so Chenming had to think carefully about what happened.

Zhang Sixi said: "General, don't think too much. We are just doing things on orders. Besides, if one or two soldiers commit a case, so many of us need to come? Then there will be some big trouble. Please wait patiently."

Zhang Sixi said it easily, but Chen Ming was not at all relaxed. If the Jinyiwei only checked the military status, even if there were more than 100 people here to get empty salary, then it would only take a team of Jinyiwei. That would require such a situation? What are you guarding against?

Even though he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why. He could only watch his soldiers walk out of the camp gate one by one, then put down his weapons, and be pointed at by someone with crossbow arrows and other weapons.

Chen Ming knew very well that once there was something strange about his people, those weapons would definitely greet them without hesitation.

Time passed slowly, and more and more soldiers. Not long after, an Jinyiwei came up and whispered a few words in Zhang Sixi's ear. Zhang Sixi nodded slightly, looked at Chenming, and said, "You just said how many people are there in you?"

Chen Ming said: "There are 987 people in total."

Zhang Sixi asked again: "Is there any false report?"

Now there are many people who are falsely reporting soldiers in the barracks and then getting empty salaries.

Chen Ming said: "No, it is indeed 987 people, and no one has been falsely reported."

Zhang Sixi said: "I believe in your words. Since that's the case, please tell me where the other 123 people are?"

Chen Ming was stunned and asked in confusion: "Isn't the number of people enough?"

Zhang Sixi snorted coldly and said, "If the number of people is enough, I still need to ask you?"

After saying that, he nodded to the Jinyiwei next to him. The Jinyiwei immediately understood and ran out to convey the order. After receiving the order, the other soldiers immediately began to approach the barracks carefully. Now the entire barracks are surrounded tightly, and it is impossible for anyone to escape. If no one came to inform and let the more than one hundred people leave, they would still be in the barracks.

Seeing the Jinyiwei and Jinyiwei approaching the barracks as if they were attacking the enemy, even Chen Ming himself was a little confused. He now didn't understand why there were more than 100 people left. When he heard that more than 100 people were left, the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guard seemed to be facing a great enemy.

The barracks that can accommodate more than 1,000 people are not small. After the soldiers entered, they carefully began to inspect the houses. They were not in a hurry, but were promoted in an orderly and slowly.

Suddenly, an arrow suddenly shot out from a house and headed straight for the searching Jinyiwei and the imperial guards.

These arrows came from several rooms in front, and the archer was hiding inside.

The sword and shield in front of them were quick-witted and immediately raised the shield and blocked the arrows. Then, the crossbowman behind them immediately raised the crossbow arrows in his hand and shot them into the houses.

The penetration power of the crossbow is much greater than that of ordinary bows and arrows. The walls of the barracks are made of earth and are relatively thick. However, the doors and windows are a bit thin, and crossbows can be easily shot through.

The crossbow arrow was just like that, and sparse screams came from inside.

Even so, the house was still used as a stronghold inside, and arrows were fired outside. Although it did not cause any damage to the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards outside, it was difficult to fully invade for a while.

Zhang Sixi's face darkened and he shouted, "Set the fire!"

set fire?

Chen Ming couldn't help but tremble and hurriedly said, "Sir, if you set fire, wouldn't they be burned to death? If they are guilty, they should take it first, and then be judged after they are clear."

Zhang Sixi looked at Chen Ming coldly, snorted coldly, and said, "If you are guilty? The interrogation is clear? General, don't you understand yet? If they are innocent, they just need to come out honestly like others and check their military status. Why can't they refuse and take the lead in taking action? To put it bluntly, they are just guilty! They are not soldiers from the court at all!"

Chen Ming said: "How is it possible if you are not a soldier? Then who are they?"

Zhang Sixi said: "They are Japanese pirates. They sneaked into the army just to take advantage of the emperor's hunting to deal with the emperor's lords and the emperor's intention to do something wrong! As the garrison general of the court, whether you have an affair with Japanese pirates? My Jinyiwei will thoroughly investigate this matter, come and take him down, and wait for the opportunity to fall!"

Several Jinyiwei rushed forward and immediately tied Chen Ming up. Chen Ming did not resist at all. He still didn't believe what Zhang Sixi said. Japanese pirates were actually infiltrated into his military camp. How could this be possible?

"They tied up the general to kill us all!"

Some of the soldiers suddenly shouted loudly.

"That's right, standing here will mean death, and fighting to the death will mean death. It's better to take a try!"

"We can't let their Jinyiwei do whatever they want!"

"Fight with them!"

Some of the soldiers started to clamor, and those soldiers were coaxed by these people. They were originally quiet and began to feel a little ready to move.

"You dare not rebel!"

Zhang Sixi shouted.

"kill!"

The Jinyiwei and the soldiers of the Imperial Guards who surrounded them shouted loudly in unison, and then they all fell ahead and took a step forward.

The whole earth seemed to be trembling, and the sharp blade shone in the sunlight with cold light.

A solemn and murderous aura instantly filled the surroundings.

Facing the murderous Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards, and facing the sharp long swords and sharp arrows, the soldiers and assassins were already ready to move, and they couldn't help but take two steps back together. Now they are bare-handed, how could they fight with the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards in front of them? Wouldn't that be a deathbed?

Zhang Sixi snorted coldly, and ignored these people. At this moment, the archers in the barracks had tied ordinary crossbows with cloth strips and soaked them in grease. After igniting them, they shot them at the houses.

At this time, most of the roofs of the houses are thatched, and the climate in the north is dry. When they encounter Mars, they immediately burn. It takes almost a moment to turn into a torch.

Some rockets shot directly into the house, and the bedding in the house was extremely easy to burn. Even if the people in the house rushed to save the fire, it was just a drop in the bucket.

These rooms have now become like the alchemy furnace of the Taishang Laojun. Then these people are not Sun Wukong, but they cannot cultivate a pair of fire-eyed golden eyes in the fire!

After persisting for a while, the door was kicked open from the inside, and then the man rushed out, but there was no good wine to greet them, but crossbow arrows that were densely packed like raindrops.

In an instant, the person who rushed out of the door was shot into a hedgehog.

When the people behind saw it, they hurriedly retreated, and then there was already a fire-like barracks behind them. If they retreated, they would only take a moment to burn to death.

There was a sharp arrow in front, and a huge fire behind them. For this group of people, they had no way out.

Screams kept coming, and the sound of pain reached the ears of the soldiers present without any stop. They felt a chill in their hearts when they heard it. The people who had been clamoring before also closed their mouths at this moment. They knew very well that if they remained silent, they could save their lives. If they were to do whatever they wanted, they would die.

Looking at the group of honest soldiers, Zhang Sixi snorted and looked at the barracks. Now the smoke is rolling in the barracks and the fire is soaring into the sky. Even if he stands here, he seems to be able to feel the heat of enlightenment.

The screams had become a little weak, and finally disappeared without a trace. Surrounded by the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards, their team of more than 100 people was not even enough to block the teeth with the Jinyiwei. At this moment, if they were either burned to death by fire or shot to death by crossbow arrows, they would have avoided the fire and avoided the crossbow arrows. Only then did they realize that they still needed such a large number of swords and axes.

There is only one way before them, and that is the dead end.

Even so, they rushed up with their weapons. Perhaps for them, there was only a dead end to stay in the house, but if they rushed out and fought with their lives, there might be a glimmer of hope.

But after all, they are too few people. Even if they have a strong desire to survive, they also indicate that the dawn of victory is on their side, just like ants, how could they shake the big tree in front of them?

In fact, for them, it does not mean that there is no chance at all, but they just missed it.

If the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards had just arrived, they would immediately escape and fight to fight before the encirclement was completed, and then there might be a glimmer of hope. However, they chose to wait and see. On the other hand, they had not yet figured out the real purpose of the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards, and if they took action in advance, they would also be worried about being exposed.

When they found that the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards wanted everyone to put down their weapons and leave the barracks to start counting, they immediately understood the purpose of the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards. However, it was too late at this time.

The battle did not last long, and none of the soldiers who fought stubbornly survived. Zhang Sixi and others witnessed all this, but looked like they turned a blind eye.

Soon, the Jinyiwei came to report and said, "Sir, after counting, the number of thieves who were eliminated was 100, and there may be some in the house, so it is not possible to count them for the time being!"

Zhang Sixi nodded slightly and said, "Check these corpses immediately to confirm who they are and whether there are any Japanese pirates among them."

These people were wiped out, which is true, but they must also confirm their identities. The most important thing is to confirm whether they are Japanese pirates. Only by confirming that they are Japanese pirates will the matter end successfully.

Just in the capital, such a large-scale mobilization of soldiers also made many people feel a little criticized. Only by confirming that those who were eliminated were Japanese pirates can those people shut up.

Chen Ming has not been taken away yet, and the camps behind him were burning behind him, and his face was also shaking blue and white. He never expected that his people would attack the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards, nor did he expect that they were Japanese pirates, but he didn't know when they would get involved in the barracks. If they were dereliction of duty, he would be blamed. What's more, their purpose was to hide in the barracks to assassinate those officials of the court during hunting. Even if they did not succeed, he would be very likely to be blamed for being a remnant!

The general who was originally high and commanded the troops has now become a prisoner.

After a while, the Jinyiwei who went to collect evidence hurried over and said, "Sir, I have found some things from them, please come over!"

Zhang Sixi nodded slightly and followed the soldiers to the barracks. Now the barracks are still burning. Before they get close, they feel a wave of heat coming towards them. The corpses of the Japanese pirates are now neatly placed on the open space in front. The items collected from them are piled up together. These things contain some private small plays, such as short knives, small puppets, etc. The little doll can tell at a glance that things that do not belong to soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The doll's clothing and hairstyle are all very obvious in Japan.

Seeing this, Zhang Sixi finally felt relieved. In this way, he confirmed that these people were Japanese pirates, and said, "Report this matter to the court immediately. In addition, the soldiers present will be strictly checked again, and no Japanese pirates are allowed to be missed!"
