Chapter 460: Becoming more and more dangerous

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

The fighting stopped until dark, and there was no action at all, except for the death of all the twenty soldiers who intercepted the pursuers, and the loss of more than a dozen of his men. The situation suddenly became dangerous, although the Tsing Yi team was a strong force, but their strategy was extremely opposed.

That is, it never approaches, only hangs from a distance, and the range of the great bow is longer than that of the musket, although at this distance, it can only be hung. However, the Tsing Yi team wrapped an oilcloth around the arrow, lit it and shot it on the convoy.

This caused great trouble to Jiang Feng and his entourage, although the carriage used as a broken back barrier is made of special materials, which can not be pierced by arrows, but it cannot defend against this kind of fire attack, often after being shot, it is necessary to go up to extinguish the fire, but the carriage is running, and the top of the carriage cannot go up at all.

This needs to stop, whenever it stops, the Tsing Yi knights hanging behind will rush towards Jiang Feng's team with their own horsepower advantage, often when the defensive formation is not formed, there will be some casualties.

However, in the same way, the Tsing Yi team did not expect that Jiang Feng's tactics were completely different from the routines of the Ming Dynasty, which were completely based on firearms and white blades, and the loading of ammunition was even much faster than that of the Ming army.

And the power of this firearm is a little stronger than those on the Franc ship, the range is long, the strength is enough, the person who rushes to the front will be knocked off the horse if he is not careful, and what is even worse is that he turned the horse's head and ran back to the way he came, and in this process, the other party could actually fire a round of ammunition.

Later, the people of the Tsing Yi team also learned to be smart, even if the hanging rocket had already hit the carriage of the carriage, they would never come close, so Jiang Feng's men were injured because they were not properly covered when fighting the fire, and they were injured by cold arrows.

The two sides are at a stalemate like this, but the Tsing Yi team can hold on, but Jiang Feng's team can't continue, the Tsing Yi horse team is on the ground in the south of the Yangtze River, to exaggerate it, even if it is walking in its own camp, the Thirteen Chamber of Commerce is completely activated, which is also an extremely terrifying thing.

Not to mention, the carriage and horse shop that replenished the horses, even after the companions were injured, were thrown on the edge of the river, and it would not take long to be treated by the boats that came over, while Jiang Feng's men could only bandage their wounds and continue on the road, everyone knew that the situation was critical.

There are also those who are resolute, seeing that their injuries may not be able to support the rest of the trip, they just draw their knives and rush to the enemy formation, fighting to the end.

According to the intelligence of the Thirteen Chamber of Commerce, Jiang Feng's trip this time should be Yangzhou to Hangzhou, and then Hangzhou to Ningbo Wei's Liuhengdao Shuangyu, where he will go to sea.

However, after dark, Jiang Feng's convoy suddenly walked towards another secluded road, and the Tsing Yi team was now cautious, not daring to venture casually, seeing that the direction of the other party was different from what he had told in advance, the leader waved his hand, and the entire horse team stopped.

Half a day of running, everyone is a little tired, of course, Jiang Feng and his party in front of them are not much better, there are people who know this road on the side to look left and right, and definitely say to the leader of the Tsing Yi team:

"Big brother, if this road goes to sea, I'm afraid I can only go to Songjiang, and I will definitely not be able to reach Hangzhou, but there is no big road in front of this road, and it has been abandoned for a long time."

"Leave one person here to wait for the boat, and the other two people will go to the intersection to report the news, let's continue to chase, anyway, it's on the edge of the river, we're not afraid."

The person who was called the eldest brother immediately gave an order, and for the people of the Thirteen Chamber of Commerce, as long as they moved along the river bank in this area, they could get the support of the boats at any time, and they could chase down boldly with confidence.

He didn't worry about being left behind by the people in front of him, because he must be much faster than the target he was pursuing, and after he finished speaking, his hand was raised, and his subordinates followed with a bang.

Jiang Feng didn't leave them too far behind, chased them for half an hour, and found that there was a fire flickering in this open space, at this time the sun was setting, but there was still skylight, and it could be seen from a distance, it was Jiang Feng and his party, and the two scarred carriages were there as if they were signs.

Originally, this was a fertile land, but in the years when the Japanese invaders were rampant, the people who were infested by the Japanese invaders in such a place near the sea were miserable.

Neither the peasants nor the landlords could not even care about planting the land, or they went to the city, or fled into the interior, and when Huazhou cleared out the Japanese pirates on the sea and the world was peaceful, the industry and commerce in the prefecture and county were prosperous, and the peasants along the coast were much more active than those in the interior.

Seeing that the work in the workshop is much better than digging food in the soil, they all go to the city to work, and their families have moved to the vicinity of the prefecture and county, but there are a lot of abandoned scenes.

At this time, it was the prosperous era of the imperial court and the government, but there was a scene of barren fields, which was also the factual basis for those disgruntled Western Party officials to scold 'loyal people, humble business, barren land, and shaky country', of course, this is also the reason why the business of Nanyang's big farms is getting better and better.

The land has not been abandoned for a long time, and there are some weeds growing in the field, which can be regarded as flat, Jiang Feng and his party are in the farmland on the side of the road, and they simply surrounded it, and stopped there.

The two sides fought with each other along the way, and the Tsing Yi horse team knew that the other party was actually a hedgehog, at least until now, there was no way to bite it, because after a few bites, the damage here was greater than that of the other party, and he stopped there with such fanfare.

On the contrary, he didn't dare to rush forward to attack, so he stopped for a while outside the firing distance of the firecracker, and the leader of the Tsing Yi team hesitated there for a while, although they are all brave warriors, but after all, they are taking money and selling their lives, although they are ruthless, but the spirit of desperate is worse.

Let them rush forward like this, and they are really reluctant to give up their lives.

The leader calculated the time, and the ships that had been prepared nearby for a long time to arrive were expected to arrive in a short time, and he pondered there, and the people behind him were silent, and for a time they were quiet, except for the horses panting tiredly.

"Get off the horse, feed the horse some hard rice, everyone also eat some dry food to settle down a little, stare at the opposite, don't be stolen by others!"

The order was given here, and the Tsing Yi knights took action one after another, and they kept fighting without dismounting, and for these Tsing Yi teams, who were only used as a deterrent more often on weekdays, they also felt very tired, and getting off the horse and resting was something that could not be sought.

After dismounting, they took out rice balls with oily fish and fed them to the horses, and the forage that these horses ate could only be hay and grain.

After serving the horses, these people are sitting on the ground to catch their breath, there are wiping their weapons, the sky is gradually getting dark, this place is remote, there is no human population, only the fire on the side of the river peak flickering on the plain, night falls, the two sides of the people who fight each other are silent and resting there, the scene suddenly quieted.

In the circle where Jiang Feng was sitting, there were still more than sixty people left, all of whom were silently loading ammunition there, so that the horses that had worked hard all day could also get a rest.

There are special people standing guard, and the rest of the people start to eat in the interval between preparing for the battle, Jiang Feng's men eat, compared to the Tsing Yi team over there, but more formal, in the iron can, smear the condensed lard on the hard cake, bake it on the fire, just take the dried fish with them, open the kettle and send these things down, everyone does not eat much, obviously to prepare for the battle for a while.

Jiang Feng was special, he took out the silver wine jug in his arms, unscrewed the lid, and drank it in a small sip there. Deng Min and Tang Xuan both walked down from the carriage, Deng Min on this day, constantly listening to the sound of arrows around the wall of the carriage, being crowded in the corner by several Jiang Feng's guards, listening to the loud sound of the fire gun, smelling the pervasive smell of gunsmoke, which was mixed with a faint blood, Deng Min was already about to collapse.

After he got out of the car, he didn't go to eat, just stood behind the makeshift bunker, staring blankly at the direction of the Tsing Yi team, where two fires were also lit, and he could see a silent crowd, although he didn't know what the Tsing Yi horse team was, but the other side still knew that there were many people.

Deng Min had been muttering to himself there and whispered:

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

Tang Xuan over there looked calm, although her clothes were also a little wrinkled in the daytime battle, but looking at the girl's appearance, it was as if nothing had happened, she walked to Jiang Feng's side with a curling smile, and quietly tore the dried fish into strips and handed it to Jiang Feng, who was drinking over there.

Jiang Feng looked at Tang Xuan on the side, and after being stunned for a moment, a chuckle appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stretched out his hand to stroke the girl's hair, and was about to say something.

Suddenly, there was a loud cheer over there, and the voices of those on the Tsing Yi team broke the silence at this time:

"We're coming, we're coming......"
