Chapter 460: Becoming more dangerous

The distance from Yangzhou to Shuangyu Island was about three days, but on the first day, he was entangled by people sent by the Thirteenth Chamber of Commerce. Jiang Feng was stopped after an hour and a half on the road.

When the fight ended and it was dark, there was no action at all. In addition to the 20 soldiers who intercepted the pursuers, more than a dozen subordinates were also damaged. The situation suddenly became dangerous. Although the Qingyi Team was powerful, their strategy was extremely against each other.

That is, it is never close, it is just hanging from a distance, and the range of the big bow is farther than that of the musket, although it can only be shot at this distance. However, the Qingyi Team wrapped the arrows on the archway and ignited them and shot them on the convoy.

This caused great trouble to Jiang Feng and his party. Although the carriage used as a barrier to break the rear is special, it can be shot through the arrows, but it cannot defend against this kind of fire attack. Often, after being shot, it has to go up to put out the fire. However, while the carriage is running, people cannot get up on the top of the carriage.

This requires stopping. Whenever the blue-clothed knights hanging behind will rush towards Jiang Feng's team with their own horsepower. Often when the defensive formation is not formed, some casualties will appear.

However, the Qingyi Team did not expect that Jiang Feng's group's tactics were completely different from the Ming Dynasty's routines. They were mainly firearms and hand-blades, and the loading of ammunition was even much faster than that of the Ming army. Often, the cavalry on their own rushed over, and the opponent's muskets were already firing.

Moreover, the power of this musket is a bit stronger than the goods on the Franchise ship. It has a long range and is strong enough. If the person rushing in the front accidentally, he will be knocked off the horse. What's even more deadly is that he turns his head and runs back towards the future. During this process, the other party can even fire a round of ammunition.

Later, the Qingyi team members learned to be smart. Even if the rockets shot by the scooters had already hit the carriage, they would never get close to them. Therefore, Jiang Feng's men were injured because of improper cover when extinguishing the fire, and were shot and injured by cold arrows.

The two sides were in a stalemate, but the Qingyi team could persist, but Jiang Feng's team could not continue. The Qingyi Horse Team was exaggerated on the ground in Jiangnan. Even if it was walking in its own camp, the Thirteenth Chamber of Commerce would be fully launched, it would be extremely terrifying.

Not to mention, even after the companions were injured, they would be left on the edge of the river and would be treated by the ships coming soon. Jiang Feng's men could only bandage the wound and could only continue on the road. Everyone knew that the situation was critical.

There are also those who are determined. Seeing that their injuries may not be able to support the next schedule, they just drew their swords and rushed towards the enemy formation, fighting for the same death.

According to the information from the Thirteenth Chamber of Commerce, Jiang Feng's trip this time should be from Yangzhou to Hangzhou, and then from Hangzhou to the Shuangyu Island of Liuheng, Ningbo Wei, where he went to sea.

However, after dark, Jiang Feng's convoy suddenly walked towards another secluded road. The Qingyi team was now cautious and did not dare to move forward casually. Seeing that the other party was walking differently from what they had told in advance, the leader waved his hand and the entire horse team stopped.

After running for half a day, the people were a little tired. Of course, the group of Jiang Feng in front was not much better. There were people who knew this road next to him and definitely said to the leader of the Qingyi Team:

"Brother, if you go to sea, you will probably have to go to Songjiang and you will definitely not be able to reach Hangzhou, but there is no major road ahead of this road, and it has been abandoned for a long time."

"Leave one person here to wait for the boat, and two others will be assigned to report to the intersection. Let's continue chasing. Anyway, we are on the edge of the river, so we are not afraid."

The man called Big Brother immediately issued an order. For the people of the Thirteen Chamber of Commerce, as long as they move along the river bank in this area, they can get support from ships at any time and can pursue them with confidence and boldness.

He was not worried that he would be dropped by the people in front of him, because he must be much faster than the target he was chasing. After saying that, he raised his hand and his subordinates followed him rumblingly.

Jiang Feng did not leave them too far. After chasing them for half an hour, he found that there was a flash of fire in this open space. At this time, the sun set, but there was still sky light. It was Jiang Feng and his group, and the two scarred carriages were there like signs.

This place was originally a fertile land, but in the years when the Japanese pirates were rampant, the people who were invaded by the Japanese pirates lived in miserable life in such places near the sea.

Whether it is the farmers or the landlords, they don’t even care about planting land, either entering the city or fleeing into the mainland. When Huazhou clears the Japanese pirates on the sea and the world is peaceful, the industry and commerce in prefectures and counties are flourishing, and the farmers along the coast are much more active than those inland people.

Seeing that the workplace earns much better than digging food from the soil, I went to the city to work, and my family moved to the vicinity of prefectures and counties, there were many abandoned scenes.

This was the prosperous era that the imperial government boasted about, but there was a scene of deserted fields. This was also the fact that those dissatisfied Western Party officials scolded "Loyal and honest people, lowly businesses, deserted fields, and shaken the country's foundation". Of course, this is also the reason why the business of large farms in Nanyang is getting better and better.

The land was abandoned for not long, and there were only some weeds growing in the fields, which was considered flat. Jiang Feng and his group simply surrounded the farmland on the roadside, and stopped there.

The two sides fought each other along the way. The Qingyi Horse Team knew that the other party was actually a hedgehog, and at least they could not get a bite until now. Because after a few bites, the losses here were greater than those of the other party. Seeing that the other party was so magnificent, he stopped there.

Instead, they didn't dare to go forward and attack rashly. They stopped for a while outside the shooting distance of the musket. The leader of the Qingyi team hesitated for a while. Although they were all brave warriors, they were all working hard for money. Although they had the ruthlessness, their spirit of fighting was a little bit weak.

It was really hard to bear their lives to let them rush up like this.

The leader calculated the time and the ships that had been prepared nearby would probably come without much time. He was thinking there, but the people behind him didn't make any noise, and it became quiet for a moment, and only the horses were gasping for exhaustion.

"Dropping off the horse, feed some hard rice to the horse. Everyone should eat some dry food and settle it a little, stare at the opposite side, don't be stolen by others!"

After orders were issued here, the Qingyi Knights took action one after another, and they would not get off the horse and fight all the time. For these Qingyi teams, which were often used as deterrents, they felt very tired. Dismounting and resting was something they could not afford.

After dismounting, they took out rice balls with oil-noodle fish to feed the horses. The fodder they eat can only be hay and food. When marching, all experienced knights bring some rice balls and other things, and they can feed the horses at critical moments.

After serving the horses, these people sat on the ground to take a breath, wiping their weapons there. The sky gradually darkened. It was remote and there was no people. There was only the fire on the other side of Jiangfeng on the plain. When night fell, the two sides who were fighting each other were resting there silently. The scene suddenly became quiet.

There were more than 60 people left in the circle where Jiang Feng sat, all of whom were loading ammunition silently, allowing the horses who had worked hard all day to rest.

There were special people standing guard, and the rest began to eat during the breaks of preparation for the battle. Jiang Feng's men had a meal, but they were more formal than the Qingyi team there. They smeared condensed lard on the hard cakes in the iron can and baked them on the fire. They opened the kettle and sent these things down. Everyone didn't eat much, obviously preparing for a while for the battle.

Jiang Feng was special. He took out the silver wine pot in his arms, unscrewed the lid, and drank it in small sips there. Deng Min and Tang Xuan both walked down from the carriage. On this day, Deng Min kept listening to the sound of arrows shooting around the wall of the carriage. He was squeezed in the corner by several Jiang Feng's guards, listening to the loud sound of the fire of the muskets, smelling the smell of gun smoke, and there was a faint blood inside. Deng Min was about to collapse.

After getting off the car, he didn't go to eat. He just stood behind a temporary shelter and looked blankly at the direction of the Qingyi Team. Two fires were lit there, and a silent crowd could be seen. Although he didn't know what the Qingyi Team was, he still knew that there were many people on the other side.

Deng Min kept muttering to himself:

"It's over, it's over..."

Tang Xuan over there looked calm. Although her clothes were wrinkled during the daytime battle, looking at the girl's appearance, it seemed that nothing had happened. She walked to Jiang Feng gracefully and quietly tore the dried fish into strips and handed it to Jiang Feng who was drinking there.

Jiang Feng looked at Tang Xuan next to him, and then was stunned for a moment, a chuckled on the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to touch the girl's hair, and was about to say something.

Suddenly, there was a loud cheer from there, and the voices of the Qingyi team broke the silence at this moment:

"We are here, we are here..."
