Now the situation is very unfavorable to Yang Qiuchi and them, Zhou Baihu's Jinyi guards have two or three hundred people, these Jinyi guards are well-trained, and there are many martial arts masters among them, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of ordinary armies.

On his side, Xu Shiling and the other five people are all the elites of the Jinyi Guard and the Ouchi Guard, after all, there are only five people, plus Song Yun'er, plus the little black dog, there are only seven, and the martial arts of the other four guards are relatively low. If they want to forcibly break through on their own, it will not be a problem, the key is that they also have to protect Yang Qiuchi, who can only do a little three-legged cat kung fu, and Hong Aya, who can't do martial arts.

Zhou Baihu originally wanted to wait for these personal guards to disperse from Yang Qiuchi and then divide and surround them, but these five people did not leave Yang Qiuchi an inch, and in desperation, he had to order a brocade guard to make an assassination, but he didn't expect Yang Qiuchi to find danger from Hong Aya's reaction and dodge the fatal blow.

Seeing that the situation was in crisis, Xu Shiling and the other guards and Song Yun'er knew very well in their hearts that their task now was not to kill or injure the enemy, but to protect the safety of Yang Qiuchi and Hong Aya, so they could only defend in a defensive circle, and there was no way to attack, once they attacked, it would be even more dangerous to be divided and surrounded, and Yang Qiuchi and Hong Aya would be in danger.

These people are all first-class masters of martial arts, they only defend and do not attack, Zhou Baihu's Jinyi Guards can't help them for a while, some Jinyi Guards are in a hurry, but they are injured by them, and there are already several corpses of Jinyi Guards lying on the ground.

Seeing that this was not going to work, Zhou Baihu ordered to spread out the encirclement, and greeted him with bows and arrows and hidden weapons in the distance.

This move is very vicious, Xu Shiling's defensive circle cannot move quickly, and there is no way to pursue and flee quickly, once the Jinyi guards disperse, they will not be able to hurt each other.

Jinyiwei's bows and arrows and hidden weapons rained down, and Xu Shiling and the others swung their swords to block them. Only beaten but not attacked, this is troublesome, and in the face of the rain of arrows, no one dares to guarantee that every arrow can be accurately knocked off, once there is a leak, it will be either dead or injured.

There is only one way to die if this continues, Xu Shiling gritted his teeth, asked Song Yun'er and others to pay attention to protecting Yang Qiuchi and Hong Aya, and rushed out with a guard, killing more than a dozen archers, making the bow attack slightly weakened. However, the two were also surrounded by Jinyiwei.

As the saying goes, tigers are still afraid of wolves, although Xu Shiling and other personal guards are strong in martial arts, but the other party's Jinyi guards are not weak, and there are many martial arts experts, plus there are many people, and the guards who followed Xu Shiling to kill more than a dozen people were finally killed. Xu Shiling was also injured in many places, desperately fought to open a bloody road, and rushed back.

Song Yun'er They are not easy, under the attack of the arrow rain and hidden weapons, two guards with slightly worse martial arts were killed by arrows, and the other two were injured by arrows one after another, after Xu Shiling came back, three of the guards were killed, only five personal guards and one ordinary guard, a total of six people, plus Song Yun'er, barely maintained a defensive position.

Hong Aya was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and when she saw that Xu Shiling and the others were stained red with blood all over her body, and arrows were raining down on all sides, how could she have experienced such a battle, and her face suddenly turned white with fright.

Yang Qiuchi's three-legged cat's kung fu couldn't help, and he didn't dare to make a move, for fear that he would help more and more, seeing Hong Aya like this, he hugged her tightly in his arms, protected her with his body, and said: "It's okay, Hong Aya, don't worry, Yun'er They are strong in martial arts, we are very safe." ”

Having said that, Yang Qiuchi knew very well in his heart that judging from the situation in front of him, I am afraid that they will be more than lucky.

The little black dog swirled at Yang Qiuchi's feet, guarding his master.

Seeing the little black dog, Yang Qiuchi's heart moved, squatted down and picked up the little black dog, pointed in the direction of the Jialing River, and said, "Go and call them to save us!" Just go! ”

Put down the little black dog and slap it on the buttocks, this little black dog is very psychic, and he got out of the defensive circle with a smoke, dodged the rain of arrows, hidden weapons and the swords of the brocade guards, and quickly rushed out.

The Jinyi guards only thought that this little black dog was a little pet that Yang Qiuchi kept to play, and seeing that it ran out, it didn't matter if it didn't hit a few cuts, so the little black dog rushed out of the encirclement without danger, and bit a few Jinyi guards' ankles along the way, and then rushed to the Jialing River.

Yang Qiuchi was counting on Nangong Xiong and them to rush to reinforcements, but Nangong Xiong and they were also counting on Yang Qiuchi to lead the Jinyi Guards of Baoning Mansion to rush to reinforce them, because they were also heavily surrounded.

It turned out that after Wang Xiongjian, the bookkeeper of the fish boat family trading house that had slipped through the net, escaped to Baoning Mansion, he told the big shopkeeper Lu gradually leaving the news that Steward Su had been arrested.

Lu Yanli knew that the big thing was not good, Yang Qiuchi wanted to deal with them, although he didn't know the identity of Yang Qiuchi's Jinyi Guard's commander envoy, but judging by Yang Qiuchi's young age as an earl, this person was definitely not simple.

When Wang Xiongjian fled Bazhou, he had already arranged multiple eyeliners to track Yang Qiuchi. Seeing Yang Qiuchi, their troops were divided into two routes, one of which rushed to the Jialing River, and hurriedly sent someone to report Lu gradually leaving.

Lu Yanli immediately guessed that Yang Qiuchi was going to do something to his fleet of illicit salt, he didn't know that Steward Su had been shot to death by Tang Shao, a guard of the Yamen, thinking that Steward Su had been a backbone boy and leaked the news of the smuggling salt fleet.

Immediately afterwards, Lu gradually left a secret report from Fan Zongqi of Jinyi Wei in Baoning Mansion, Yang Qiuchi asked Jinyi Wei to control them, and in addition, asked Zhou Baihu to rush to Jialing River with most of Jinyiwei.

At this moment, Lu gradually left no longer had any doubts, and Yang Qiuchi was going to make a move against the boat gang.

Since he has already torn his face, Lu Yanli decided to fight with all his strength and kill Yang Qiuchi and the others, how to deal with it later, anyway, there are a number of backers established by the Boat Gang in the layers of government to help, Lu Wanli believes that this time it will be as easy as killing Shen Zhizhou's wife and children last time.

Therefore, Lu Yanli ordered to immediately convene a meeting of the backbone cadres at all levels in Baoning Prefecture, reported the situation, and asked them to immediately organize the boat gang to help the people, saying that there were bandits who robbed the boat gang's transport boats, and asked the gang to carry bows and arrows and other weapons, and immediately rushed to the Jialing River for reinforcements.

Only a few of these gangs knew the true situation, and the ordinary gangs were told that they were robbed by bandits, and they immediately rushed to the Jialing River.

Prior to this, Nangong Xiong and others requisitioned the fishing boats of fishermen on the riverside, searched the boats on the Jialing River, and under the identification of Lin Xiang, the shopkeeper of the boat gang trading house, it didn't take long to discover the boat gang trafficking the illicit salt fleet, and caught the younger brother Lu Jianzhong, the head of the smuggling salt fleet.

Nangong Xiong, Zhan Zheng and others showed their identities, and when they wanted to detain the boat and take people, they were besieged and resisted by the boat gang escort gang. A fierce battle ensued between the two sides.

Nangong Xiong and the other guards are strong in martial arts, but this fleet escorts a large number of people, and they are fighting on the river they are familiar with, and they know that they are doing something that loses their heads, and if they are caught, they will also die, so they desperately attack upward.

The two sides were entangled together, although Nangong Xiong and others killed a lot of people who resisted arrest, they still couldn't control the situation, not only that, but several of their fishing boats were also pierced or overturned from the bottom of the water by the diving boat gangs, Nangong Xiong, Zhan Zheng and most of the guards and catchers grabbed quickly, and jumped on the big boat of the smuggling salt fleet, but there were still a few guards and catchers who fell into the water and were killed.

Nangong Xiong and the others saw the casualties of their own soldiers, and their eyes immediately turned red, like a tiger descending from the mountain, killing many boat gangs on the private salt boat.

But the boat gang also found out that the guards couldn't water, so they jumped into the river and poked the boat.

If the smuggling salt fleet is poked into the river, then the evidence will be gone, Nangong Xiong is very anxious, but they don't know how to water, and the bow and arrow can't kill and injure the boat gang underwater, so I don't know what to do for a while.

At this moment, the sound of shouting and killing sounded on the side of the Jialing River, and countless gangs dressed as fishermen appeared, with bows and arrows in their hands raining down on Nangong Xiong, Zhan Zheng, their guards and catchers on the private salt boat.

The guards had martial arts, and the bows and arrows shot from the shore were relatively far away, so they could not be injured, but a few of those with poor martial arts still fell into the river with arrows.

There were more and more reinforcements, not only the arrows rained down on the shore, but also a number of fishing boats appeared up and down the Jialing River, attacking Nangong Xiong and others with bows and arrows and hidden weapons at close range.

Although Nangong Xiong, Zhan Zheng and others had already shown their brocade guard waist cards and fast waist cards, and loudly announced their true identities, they were all wearing civilian clothes, and it was difficult to distinguish the real and fake waist cards from the distance, and the backbone of the boat gang yelled that they were fake, and of course those gangs didn't believe the words of Nangong Xiong and others, and they still kept attacking.

However, after showing the waist card, there were also many gangs who were worried that they were really Jinyi Wei and Catch Fast, but they didn't dare to disobey the orders from above, so this part of the gang did not attack desperately, and the crisis of Nangong Xiong and others was slightly reduced.

Despite this, Nangong Xiong and others are still in danger under the attack of hundreds of boat gangs who do not know the truth, and they are struggling to support and wait for rescue. They didn't know that Yang Qiuchi and the others were also in danger, and even if they knew, they would be unable to do anything at the moment.

Who else can save Yang Qiuchi and them from danger? I'm afraid there are only miracles, but are there really miracles in this world?

Just when Yang Qiuchi and them were besieged by Zhou Baihu's brocade guards, and under the attack of bows and arrows like rain, they were struggling to support the extreme danger of not being able to break through, they heard the faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the dust was raised high, judging from the roar of the horses' hooves stepping on the ground, I am afraid that there were hundreds of people.

Yang Qiuchi's face changed color slightly, the direction of this iron horse is not the direction of the Jialing River where Nangong Xiong and them are located, Nangong Xiong and they don't have so many people, and all the forces they can mobilize in Bazhou have been mobilized, and they originally expected that Baoning Mansion Jinyi Wei could become their new force, but they didn't expect that most of them had been corroded and renegade by the boat gang, not only could not help, but became their own enemies and were trapped by them.

Therefore, these hundreds of iron cavalry could never be their own reinforcements. On the contrary, it is likely that the gang of the boat gang has rushed to reinforcements after getting the news!

Although Zhou Baihu was also a little surprised, he immediately understood that the boat gang had rushed to get the news, and now he was rushing to attack hard, and he must pull out the thorn in Yang Qiuchi's eye. The brocade guards also stopped shooting arrows, waiting for reinforcements to arrive and launch a final general attack.
