Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1132 Breakthrough

Thick smoke billowed over the city, and fires raged throughout the city. Corpses lay strewn everywhere, mostly those of the laborers and civilians who had followed the caravan.

The scene was horrific.

When Lin Feng and the other three returned to the Duan family's residence, they found that pirates had begun to attack again. Just as the guards were about to be overwhelmed, four fierce-looking men appeared.

Having seen their pirates before, he shouted, and the surrounding pirates retreated like a tide, scattering into birds and beasts.

As soon as Pei Qiyin and the others entered the house, the first thing they saw was Wooden Face sitting in the corner. Ye Liangcai went up and hugged him, patting him excitedly.

The wooden face, contorted with pain, broke out in a sweat but couldn't utter a sound.

Lin Feng quickly shouted, "Hey, don't touch him, he's injured."

Ye Liangcai then realized what was happening, quickly stopped, and gently stroked the wooden-faced man to comfort him.

Duan Jingqiu looked at the three people with curiosity.

Lin Feng introduced, "These are my three brothers, all of them are involved in the underworld."

Turning to Pei Qiyin and the others, he said, "This is Duan Jingqiu, the head manager of the Duan family in Luocheng, and also a friend I just met."

Although Duan Jingqiu was impressed by Qiao Jushan's tall and imposing stature, he focused his attention on Pei Qiyin.

This dark-skinned, thin middle-aged woman, though unremarkable in appearance, possessed piercingly bright eyes that exuded a unique charm that commanded respect.

Ye Liangcai is perfectly normal; he's a handsome young man, and you can tell from his appearance that he's very agile and skillful.

In short, in Duan Jingqiu's mind, none of these people were simple.

However, in Pei Qiyin's eyes, Duan Jingqiu was not just beautiful. She discovered that the women Lin Feng was interested in, besides being very beautiful, also possessed a dignified and elegant demeanor, composure, and wisdom.

It can be said that this woman is rare, no less so than the other beauties she has ever seen.

Of course, no one who can be friends with Lin Feng is simple.

Lin Feng didn't waste any time. He squatted down and began to sketch.

He had just observed from the rooftop, and had also noticed the terrain and surrounding environment of Tanggu County.

At this point, it was time to plan how to lead the Duan family out of the pirates' territory.

"We can't stay here and fight the pirates to the death. There are too many of them. We need to find a way out and break out."

Pei Qiyin shook her head: "The city is surrounded by pirates, making it difficult to break through."

Ye Liangcai added, "We can't go to the riverbank; it's full of pirate ships."

Lin Feng nodded: "They will focus their blockade on our way to Luoxi, while to the east, less than a hundred miles from Luocheng, the army of Prince Dazheng should be on its way."

The group remained silent, waiting for Lin Feng to continue.

Lin Feng looked at Duan Jingqiu: "You have to abandon the vehicle and come with us to the Yantong River in simple clothes."

Although Duan Jingqiu felt a pang of heartache, the choice between wealth and life was obvious.

"Okay, we'll follow you wherever you go."

Lin Feng glanced at Ye Liangcai: "Although the river is full of pirate ships, most of them have already disembarked and are attacking the county town. We can take advantage of this opportunity to seize a ship and head along the river towards Luoxi City."

Duan Jingqiu asked in confusion, "Sir, what should the Prime Minister do?"

"We can't worry about that now, they'll hold out until reinforcements arrive."

"But, sir, you are the deputy captain of the Prime Minister's guards."

Pei Qiyin and the others looked at Lin Feng with ambiguous smiles.

Unexpectedly, after a long time, Lin Feng became the head of the guards of the current prime minister, a very high-ranking official.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "I'm not going to be an official anymore. It's no fun at all. I'd rather go and roam the world with my brothers."

Duan Jingqiu panicked: "But, but... how am I supposed to find a teacher in the future?"

Lin Feng looked at her and said, "I will come to find you in the future. Don't worry, I'm the one who put you in this position as the head manager, so I will make sure you hold onto it."

As he spoke, he pointed to the wooden face in the corner.

"They'll be recuperating here with you for now. When the time comes, they'll find me. If they have any information, they can pass it on to me through Wooden Face."

Duan Jingqiu looked at the wooden face with a blank expression, still feeling uneasy.

"Let's go, it'll be harder to break through if we stay any longer."

Duan Jingqiu was also a decisive woman. Having seen many big scenes, she didn't need to say much. She immediately ordered her servants and guards to pack their belongings. They were to carry whatever they could on their backs and discard anything they couldn't carry.

Time was running out, so everyone in the courtyard was gathered together, no more than forty or fifty people. The wounded were carried on people's backs, while the dead were left behind.

Seeing that everything was in order, Lin Feng immediately gave the order.

"I'll lead the way, Qiao Jushan will cover the rear, and the rest of you who aren't injured, protect the left and right flanks. Let's go!"

A group of forty or fifty people rushed out of the courtyard gate.

This place is not far from the city gate, and the county town is not big to begin with. With Lin Feng leading the way, the pirates could not stop them for even a moment.

The pirates who tried to hold them back from the rear were also stopped by Qiao Jushan. He swept his iron rod across the battlefield, and no matter how agile and unpredictable they were, they could not withstand his powerful and heavy force.

With Pei Qiyin following behind, her revolver spewing flames, the approaching pirates hesitated to advance.

The guards on either side of the group were all highly skilled martial artists, fighting valiantly to resist the pirates' invasion.

The group was able to quickly rush out of the city gate and head straight for Tanggu Wharf.

There were far fewer pirates outside the city; almost all of their forces rushed into the city.

The pirates who had been following the group saw that they couldn't hold off the group, and since all their valuables were inside the city, they stopped pursuing them and decisively retreated back into the city to participate in the looting.

The dock was less than five miles from the city gate, and Lin Feng led his team to the riverbank very quickly.

The Yantong River was filled with ships of all sizes, some with people on board, and some empty, simply tied to the shore with ropes.

Lin Feng's judgment was accurate. Almost all the pirates participated in the siege and looting. Their strategy was that whatever they seized was theirs, and no one could resist the temptation of so many carriages.

For Lin Feng, seizing a sea vessel was not too difficult. Because there were many people, he even chose a larger one.

After leaping aboard, he cut down the pirates guarding the ship and beckoned everyone to board.

Luo City is not far from the river, and Luoxi Prefecture even has a dock, so the Duan family's servants and guards are no strangers to using boats.

You can start rowing almost immediately.

The large ship slowly left the dock and headed upstream towards Losi Prefecture.

Some pirates were still shouting warnings, but no pirates appeared around them, and Lin Feng and his men left the Tanggu County dock safely.

Lin Feng, Pei Qiyin, and the others finally had time to talk about their experiences during this period.

At this time, Miao Changfeng's guards had completely withdrawn from Tanggu County and were protecting him in a secluded mansion.

The outer perimeter was guarded by more than 400 guards, while the inner layer consisted of skilled men disguised as servants.

They fought valiantly against the attacks of hundreds of pirates, and fortunately, when Miao Changfeng formed his guard, he did not rely solely on connections and money.

He was very concerned about his own safety, and a large portion of his guards were carefully selected martial arts masters or elite soldiers.

Faced with the pirates' frenzy, they fought with all their might and withstood wave after wave of attacks.
