There is a river on the east and west sides between the hills to the south of the town of Arano. Huang Zheng and a team of men and horses have been walking back and forth on this road for three days.

After discussing for a long time, we finally adopted the method of road closure and interception.

Huang Zheng judged that according to the other party's way of thinking that always looks at the immediate interests, in the tense situation, they want to get rid of the backlog of goods in their hands. Avalo's escape was a trivial matter, and presumably the merchants on the other side would not easily change the route they were already familiar with.

Even if Janora hadn't been intercepted, it would have been possible to find out the location of the village if any merchant who was shipping iron goods to this area.

The arrival of Huang Zheng's reinforcements greatly replenished the manpower in the town. So Kalanda sent six teams of ten men to block three possible roads.

Avalo followed the team led by Huang Zheng, although he had no culture, but his skills were very flexible, and on the way to follow the team, he learned how to ride a horse, and at first he had to take care of Garcia, and after half a day, he followed the team.

After three days of wandering without results, the morale of the crowd was not very high.

Garcia fanned the wind with his hand to his neck and said, "Company commander, I think we should change shifts with the brothers stationed in the town." And it's too boring to walk around this route every day. If they don't come for half a month, and we continue to turn around for half a month? I think it's better to send scouts to take the initiative. ”

"Scout?" Huang Zheng gave him a blank look, "You have only received the most basic tactical training. Who would dare to say that they can be a good scout? Further south, it is the sphere of influence of Greenwood City. Do you think that if you bump into the other party's patrol, they will invite you to dinner? Moreover, we have penetrated too much into the opponent's territory, maybe we will break the current situation, and when the time comes, the army of Green Forest City, which was attracted in advance, will not force the battle forward? Now that we are the deputy platoon commander, can we learn to use our brains. ”

"Company commander, it's nothing. We should have taught them a lesson. Although Uncle Chen has fallen, our team has no effect, we can fight!" Garcia said.

"Being able to fight and being able to fight are two different things! Time is on our side, and the further back we go, the more we can reduce losses and confusion. Why don't you minimize your losses?" Huang Zheng said with a sigh of relief, "Moreover, if you can save Lao Chen's body first, it will be very good for everyone's morale." ”

As the team reached the river and was about to turn back, Avalo glanced over the river. He suddenly let out a soft exclamation and reached out to grab Garcia beside him.

"What?" Garcia looked back. I saw Avalo's eyes staring at the river without blinking. There was a small wooden sailboat sailing upstream, sailing upstream.

"There's a ship there, and there's a man standing on the bow of the ship, who seems to be ......," Avalo looked left and right, and his face showed resentment, "It's him! The fat man at the head of the caravan is Janora!"

Huang Zheng, who was not far ahead, heard his voice, turned his horse over and asked, "Are you sure? This is the merchant who kidnapped you." ”

"My lord, I will not admit to it. ”

"Interesting! It seems that the merchants don't go by land anymore, but by water. Huang Zheng frowned and said.

"Company commander, what should we do? We don't have a ship. Garcia said.

"Go and shout first, let them dock and stop the boat, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" Huang Zheng said to Garcia, turning his head and saying to a mage class soldier behind him, "Give a signal now and let the surrounding teams move closer to us." Ji Yijun They are not far from the other side, and they should be able to come over soon. ”

Garcia hit his horse to the shore, and Luck shouted loudly, "The ship in front of you is docked! If you don't follow our instructions, you will do so at your own risk!"

From the beginning, Janora became wary of this team wandering on the shore, so that there were many people, and the team dressed in novelty could only belong to the Chinese.

He had long known that Barony O'Farrell's territory had been swallowed up by the Chinese, and it was said that the Chinese had defeated the Baron's own guards and reinforcements from nearby territories with only a small team. This shows that the Chinese are very strong in combat.

And now the team in front of him, although the number of people is similar to his guard, but it puts a lot of pressure on him. As a merchant, of course, he wanted to avoid these people, and everyone knew that there was only a golden shield between the army and the horse thieves.

He urged the boatman to speed up the boat, but in the headwind environment, the sailboat had to go zigzag, and the speed was really not fast.

However, just when he was about to ignore the Chinese and go straight away, one of their guards actually attacked the other party by talking to himself.

"Damn it, stop!" Janora shouted.

"Boss, none of them have bows and arrows on their backs, I scare them. The guard said nonchalantly.

Garcia on the shore quickly knocked out the flying arrows, took out the air gun from his back, and turned on the mode of strengthening the blow, and after a soft sound, the archer who had just spoken and answered fell into the water, and Janora crouched on the side of the boat in fright. But the guards around him also began to fire back with bows and arrows. The situation is out of control.

It's just that the warriors on the shore can end the trunk concealment, and several of them have mastered the fighting spirit, and they can knock out the arrows relatively easily. The archers on the ship did not have much place to hide, and after a few rounds of fire, four of the eight guards on the ship had already been defeated.

Janora hid behind a box and watched in horror at the scene before her. Those long pipes are the weapons they use to defeat the baron, right?

At that moment, he saw a fireball appear in the hand of a young man. Immediately after, a fireball flew in his face, grazing his scalp and bombarding the wooden box behind him, which was ignited by the flames and began to burn.

"Quick, put out the fire. ”

The mage cast a spell, and then the voice came clearly: "Now stop the ship and dock, this is your last chance." Otherwise, the next fireball will hit your sails. The next time it blows up your ship's side. ”

"Boss, this won't work, the mage will sink the ship!" said the boatman, fearfully, "if we can't beat them, we'd better listen to them." ”

"Let's go, we come to shore from the other side, we abandon ship and go overland. ”

"Boss, what about the goods?" asked a guy hiding behind a box.

"Pick up the light, and move the important ones. ”

Another fireball struck and hit the mast, igniting the sail at the bottom.

"Quick, put out the fire, and go to the other side!" said Janora, yelling at the boatman and his fellows.

"Boss, it doesn't seem right on the other side either!" said one of the guys. As his voice fell. A horse team came out of the forest on the opposite bank, led by Ji Yijun. And behind him there was also a female mage preparing the fireball.

Ji Yijun pointed at him from afar and said, "Janora, right? You'd better surrender obediently, otherwise you'll become a men's and women's doubles." ”
