The current situation is very unfavorable to Yang Qiuchi and the others. Zhou Baihu's Jinyiwei has two or three hundred Jinyiwei. These Jinyiwei are well-trained, including many good martial arts masters, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than ordinary army.

Xu Shiling and the other five of them are all among the elites of the Jinyiwei and the Great Inner Guard. After all, there are only five people, and there are only seven of them, and the other four guards have relatively lower martial arts skills. If they want to break through on their own, it will not be a problem. The key is that they also have to protect Yang Qiuchi, who only knows a little bit of three-legged kung fu and Hong Ling, who knows martial arts skills.

Zhou Baihu originally wanted to wait for these personal guards to disperse and scatter and surround Yang Qiuchi, but the five people were in a row and could not stand by Yang Qiuchi. In desperation, they had to order a Jinyiwei to assassinate him. Unexpectedly, Yang Qiuchi discovered danger from Hong Ling's reaction and avoided a fatal blow.

Seeing the crisis, Xu Shiling and other guards and Song Yuner knew very well that their current mission was not to kill the enemy, but to protect the safety of Yang Qiuchi and Hongling. Therefore, they formed a defensive circle and could only defend and could not attack. Once they attacked, they would be even more dangerous to be divided and surrounded, and Yang Qiuchi and Hongling would be in danger.

These people are all first-class martial arts masters. They only defend but not attack. Zhou Baihu's Jinyiwei could not do anything to them for a moment. Some Jinyiwei attacked anxiously, but were injured by them. Several thick bodies of Jinyiwei were already lying on the ground.

Zhou Baihu saw that this was not possible, so he ordered him to disperse the surround and greet him with bows and arrows and hidden weapons in the distance.

This move is very vicious. Xu Shiling and his team's defensive circle cannot move quickly, so they cannot chase and escape quickly. Once the Jinyiwei disperses, they will not be able to hurt the other party.

The Jinyiwei's bows and hidden weapons shot over like raindrops, and Xu Shiling and others waved their swords to block them. They were beaten and could not attack. This was a problem. In the face of the rain of arrows, no one could guarantee that each arrow could be accurately knocked away. Once it leaked, it would be either dead or injured.

If this continues, there is only a dead end. Xu Shiling gritted his teeth and asked Song Yuner and others to pay attention to protecting Yang Qiuchi and Hong Ling. He rushed out with a guard and killed more than a dozen archers, which slightly weakened the archer's attack. However, the two were also divided and surrounded by the Jinyiwei.

As the saying goes, tigers are afraid of wolves. Although Xu Shiling and other personal guards have strong martial arts skills, the opponent's Jinyiwei is not weak, and there are also many martial arts experts. In addition, the guard who followed Xu Shiling out was finally killed after killing more than a dozen people. Xu Shiling was also injured in many places, and fought to death to open a bloody road and rushed back.

Song Yuner and the others were not relaxed either. Under the attack of the arrow rain and hidden weapons, two guards with slightly inferior martial arts were killed and killed. The other two were injured one after another. After Xu Shiling came back, three guards were killed in battle, with only five personal guards and one ordinary guard, totaling six. In addition, Song Yuner barely maintained the defensive formation.

Hong Ling was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Seeing that Xu Shiling and others were stained with blood, and arrows were flying everywhere, she was so scared that her face turned pale after experiencing such a scene.

Yang Qiuchi's three-legged cat-ground kung fu was not helpful. He didn't dare to take action randomly, for fear that he would get more and more help. Seeing Hong Ling like this, he hugged her tightly, protected her with his body, and said, "It's okay, Hong Ling, don't worry, Yuner and others are very good at martial arts, we are very safe."

Having said that, Yang Qiuchi knew very well that judging from the current situation, they were afraid they were in danger.

The little black dog was spinning at Yang Qiuchi's feet, protecting his master.

Seeing the little black dog, Yang Qiuchi felt aroused, and he squatted down and picked up the little black dog, pointed to the direction of the Jialing River, and said, "Go and ask them to save us! Go!"

Putting down the little black dog and slapped it on the butt. The little black dog was very spiritual. He walked out of the defensive circle, avoided the rain of arrows, hidden weapons and swords of the Jinyiwei, and rushed out quickly.

The Jinyiwei only thought that this little black dog was a pet that Yang Qiuchi had kept. Seeing that it ran out, it would be fine if it was cut a few times but failed. So the little black dog rushed out of the encirclement without any danger, and bit the ankles of the Jinyiwei along the way, and then ran towards the Jialing River.

Yang Qiuchi was counting on Nangong Xiong and the others to come for reinforcement, but Nangong Xiong and the others were also counting on Yang Qiuchi to lead the Jinyiwei of Baoning Mansion to reinforce them, because they were also surrounded.

It turned out that after Wang Xiongjian, the accountant of the Fish Boat Company, escaped to Baoning Mansion, he told the shopkeeper Lu Jianli about the news that Butler Su was arrested.

Lu Jianli knew that something was wrong, and Yang Qiuchi wanted to deal with them. Although he did not know the identity of Yang Qiuchi's commander and envoy, based on the judgment that Yang Qiuchi had become an earl at a young age, this person was definitely not simple.

When Wang Xiongjian fled from Bazhou, he had arranged multiple eyeliners to track Yang Qiuchi. Seeing that Yang Qiuchi and his troops were divided into two groups, they rushed to the Jialing River and hurriedly sent someone to report to Lu Jianli.

Lu Jianli immediately guessed that Yang Qiuchi was going to attack his fleet of trafficking in private salt. He didn't know that Butler Su had been shot to death by Tang Shao in the yamen. He thought that Butler Su had become a rebellious boy and leaked the news about the team of salt.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jianli received a secret report from the General Banner of the Jinyiwei of Baoning Mansion. Yang Qiuchi asked the Jinyiwei to control them, and in addition, he asked Zhou Baihu to take most of the Jinyiwei to rush to Jialing River.

Now Lu Jianli has no doubt that Yang Qiuchi is going to help the boat.

Since he had already tore his face apart, Lu Jianli decided to fight with all his strength and kill Yang Qiuchi and others. What to do later? Anyway, with the boat gang establishing several backers in the layers of government offices, Lu Jianli believed that this time it would be as easy as killing Shen Zhizhou's wife and children last time.

So, Lu Jianli ordered the meeting of the backbone at all levels of Baoning Prefecture to report the situation and asked them to immediately organize the crew of the boat gang, saying that there were bandits robbing the ship gang's transport ship, and asked the gang to carry bows and arrows and other weapons, and immediately rushed to the Jialing River for reinforcements.

Only a few backbone members of these gangs knew the real situation. Generally, gangs were told that they were robbing bandits, and immediately flocked to the Jialing River.

Before this, Nangong Xiong and others requisitioned fishermen's fishing boats by the river and searched the boats on the Jialing River. Under the identification of Lin Xiang, the shopkeeper of the surrendered boat gang, it didn't take long to find the fleet that was trafficking in private salt, and caught Lu Jianzhong, the younger brother of Lu Jianli, the head of the private salt fleet.

Nangong Xiong, Zhan Zheng and others revealed their identities and wanted to detain the ship and take the land, they were besieged by the gangs of the ships. The two sides thus started a fierce battle.

Nangong Xiong and other guards had great martial arts skills, but the fleet was carrying a large number of people, and they fought on the river surface they were familiar with. They knew that they were doing something that was lost, and they would die if they were caught, so they fought desperately.

The two sides fought together. Although Nangong Xiong and others killed many gangs who refused to arrest, they still couldn't control the situation. Not only that, several fishing boats in their land were also penetrated or overturned by diving boat gangs from the bottom of the water. Most of the guards such as Nangong Xiong and Zhan Zheng robbed them quickly and jumped onto the large ship of the private salt fleet, but there were still a few guards and constables who fell into the water and were killed.

Seeing that the soldiers on their side had casualties, Nangong Xiong and others suddenly turned red, as if a tiger was going down the mountain. They killed many ship gang members on the private salt ship.

But the members of the Boat Gang also found that these guards could not water, so they jumped into the river to poke the boat.

If the private 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. The bows and arrows cannot kill the underwater boat gang members, so they don’t know what to do for a while.

At this moment, there were shouts of killing sounds by the Jialing River, and countless gang members dressed in fishermen appeared. The bows and arrows in their hands shot towards Nangong Xiong, Zhan Zheng and his guards on the private salt ship like raindrops.

The guards had martial arts skills, and the distance between the bows and arrows from the shore was relatively long, so they could not be injured. However, several constables with poor martial arts skills were still shot into the river.

There were more and more reinforcements. Not only were arrows falling like rain on the shore, but many fishing boats also appeared on the Jialing River, and they used bows and arrows to attack Nangong Xiong and others at close range.

Although Nangong Xiong, Zhan Zheng and others had already shown their Jinyiwei waist cards and constable waist cards and loudly announced their true identities, they were all wearing casual clothes, and it was difficult to tell whether the waist cards were authentic or not. The backbone of the boat gang yelled that they were fake, and of course the gang members did not believe the words of Nangong Xiong and others, and they continued to attack.

However, after showing off the waist card, many gang members were worried that they were real Jinyiwei and constables, but they did not dare to disobey the orders from the top. Therefore, these gang members did not attack desperately, and the crisis of Nangong Xiong and others was slightly reduced.

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

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

Just as Yang Qiuchi and the others were surrounded by layers of Jinyiwei of Zhou Baihu, under the attack of rainy bows and arrows, and were struggling to break through, they heard a faint sound of horse hooves coming from afar. The dust rose high. Judging from the roar of horse hooves trampling on the ground, there were probably hundreds of people.

Yang Qiuchi's face changed slightly. The direction of the iron cavalry was not the direction of the Jialing River where Nangong Xiong and the others were. Nangong Xiong and the others did not have so many troops. All the forces he could mobilize in Bazhou were mobilized. He originally expected that the Jinyiwei of Baoning Mansion could become his new force, but unexpectedly, most of them had been corrupted by the ship helper. Not only did they not help, they became their own enemies and were trapped by them.

Therefore, these hundreds of iron cavalry could never be their reinforcements. On the contrary, it is likely that the gang members of the ship gang came to reinforce after receiving the news!
