The boss scratched his head: "But Jin Feng went to the county town!"
"Because of this, this is our opportunity!"
County Lieutenant Zhao said: "Today's Xihewan is a piece of iron barrel. Don't say I give you 300 men, even if I give you 1,000 men, you won't be able to defeat it.
Moreover, Jin Feng is the foundation of Xihewan. If Jin Feng does not die, it will be useless even if you capture Xihewan. If he can build a veteran team, he can build another one.
If Jin Feng is killed, no one will pay wages to the veterans, and the veterans team will be disbanded, and then it will be time to attack Xihewan."
"I understand!" The headmaster gave a thumbs up: "Master, you are very thoughtful. I will lead people to chase Jin Feng now!"
"no!"
County Lieutenant Zhao said: "Take a small road and go to Heifeng Ridge to wait for him and do it there!"
"Why?" The headmaster was a little dissatisfied: "Heifeng Ridge is out of Jinchuan County, we are not familiar with the area."
"What do you know?" County Lieutenant Zhao said: "Jin Feng is a noble now, and there is Lord Qing behind him. Once you are recognized, it will be over, and I can't protect you!"
"That's what I taught you!"
The big boss suddenly realized: "No one can think of me in Black Wind Ridge."
"You're not hopelessly stupid!"
County Lieutenant Zhao said: "Remember, Jin Feng is a madman. If you don't have a chance, don't do it. Once you do, you must kill him no matter what, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, sir. I will bring all the brothers here this time, as well as the archers you support. Even if I use a bunch of people, I will kill him!"
The headmaster patted his chest and promised.
"Old Nie, go to the first battalion to find Qin Liang and ask him to mobilize twenty archers in the name of training in the mountains."
County Lieutenant Zhao looked at the concierge.
"yes!"
The concierge agreed and turned to leave.
"You guys wait outside the city. When the archers arrive, take action quickly."
County Lieutenant Zhao looked at the headmaster again.
"Master, just wait, I will never let you down!"
The headmaster patted his chest and left with his cronies.
…
In the north of Jinchuan County, a five-meter official road winds through the mountains.
This is Guangyuan Road, which is the only road from Jinchuan County to Guangyuan County where horse-drawn carriages can be used.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, a team consisting of cavalry and carriages appeared at the end of the road.
"Sir, ahead is Black Wind Ridge."
Tie Zhui pointed to a mountaintop and said: "If the weather is good, you can almost see our Xihewan when we stand on Heifeng Ridge."
"So close?"
Jin Feng was surprised.
"That's not true. In fact, Heifeng Ridge is more than five miles north of our Xihe Bay." Tie Zhui said, "We have been walking in circles for such a long time."
Jin Feng thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that this was really the case.
They first walked east and then west. They were not going in circles.
"Heifeng Ridge is so close to Xihewan, why don't we go directly to Heifeng Ridge?"
Guan Xiaorou, who was sitting in the carriage, asked curiously.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know that there is a river under Heifeng Ridge. Although it is less than twenty feet wide, the current is very fast and the cliffs on both sides are so steep that it is impossible to cross it, so we can only take a detour."
Iron Hammer said: "If we didn't have to bypass this river, we would probably be closer to the county seat than to the county capital."
Sichuan is very mountainous, so this situation is actually very common.
Sometimes when you look at two very close hills, you can hear someone talking loudly, but if you want to get from one hill to another, you may need to take a detour for several days.
"It would be great if someone could build a bridge across this river."
Guan Xiaorou said with a smile: "That will make it easier for us to go to the county town in the future."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. When Jin Feng heard the words, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
After all, Jinchuan is just a county government, and many of the things Jin Feng needs cannot be purchased, which also prevents some of Jin Feng's plans from being carried out.
In addition, Jinchuan's population is not large, and its consumption capacity is very limited. It is not big now, but when it develops, it will definitely get out of Jinchuan.
They went out at dawn in the morning and rode horses until they reached Heifeng Ridge. If they were pushing a cart, it would probably take more than a day.
If a bridge can be built to transport goods from Xihewan to the county town, at least one day can be saved.
Thinking of this, Jin Feng said: "Tie Hammer, find a place to rest ahead. Let's go to Black Wind Ridge to have a look."
"Sir, Heifeng Ridge is just a barren mountain. What's there to see?"
Tie Chui said: "Sir, we have to hurry, otherwise we won't be able to reach Liuhe Town after dark, and we will have to live in the mountains."
"I'll just go up and have a look. Black Wind Ridge is not high, so it won't take long."
Jin Feng said: "At worst, we're going down the mountain. Let's walk faster."
"That's okay."
Seeing Jin Feng's insistence, Tie Chui turned around and shouted: "Monkey, go look ahead and find an easy place to go up the mountain."
"okay."
The monkey agreed and drove his horse forward.
After a while, the monkey came back with a strange look on his face.
"Sir, there are bandits hiding in the mountains ahead. I thought I couldn't see them."
The monkey said proudly: "Actually, I saw them from a long way away."
"Bandits?" Tie Zhui frowned slightly: "How many are there?"
"It's hard to see clearly. They are hiding in the woods."
The monkey said: "But I found more than thirty people alone, and I don't know how many more I didn't find."
"Sir, what should I do?"
Iron Hammer looked at Jin Feng.
"Everyone, don't move forward yet. Monkey, you go there again. Don't ride a horse this time. Go to the mountain to find out how many people there are and what weapons they have. Are we sure we can rush over?"
There were Guan Xiaorou, Tang Dongdong and Xiao'e in the team, and Jin Feng didn't want to take any risks.
"yes!"
The monkey agreed, jumped off his horse, and went straight into the forest.
"Move over and be on alert!"
Iron Hammer gave the order, and the veteran and female soldiers immediately prepared their crossbows and watched the surroundings vigilantly.
"Sir, you are not wearing armor, go to the car."
Iron Hammer looked at Jin Feng again.
Jin Feng knew that once a fight broke out, he would not be able to help, and might even drag down the veterans, so he drove his horse to the carriage.
This carriage was modified by Jin Feng, with a layer of iron plates sandwiched inside. After the windows were closed, ordinary bows and arrows could not do anything.
Jin Feng jumped on the carriage and waved to Qing Mulan: "Mu Lan, come up too!"
"I'm wearing armor, so I won't go."
Qing Mulan shook his head.
She is eager to fight now, how can she hide?
"There is a heavy crossbow on this car. I originally wanted you to control it, but if you don't want to, forget it."
Jin Feng shook his head and got into the car.
"Heavy crossbow?"
Qing Mulan's eyes lit up and she quickly jumped on the carriage: "Sir, I'm here!"
"Xiaorou, all of you, please get up."
Jin Feng asked Guan Xiaorou, Tang Dongdong and Xiao'e to stand up, opened the seat panel of the carriage, took out the parts one by one, and skillfully assembled them into a heavy crossbow.
On the other side, the monkey also quietly touched the bandit's back.
