In the evening, it was just dark, and the Taiping troops in the mine had already eaten a good meal, and stood in the open space full of energy, waiting for Li Mingyuan to give the order to march.

"Brothers, yesterday we captured the bloody exploiters of the mines under the guidance of our Heavenly Father, and now we are going to set out to rescue the other brothers who are still suffering, tell me, do you have the confidence to defeat the Peruvians?"

"Yes," the soldiers below made earth-shattering sounds. Yesterday there was a riot, and the Taiping army only killed no more than ten people before they hit the Peruvian overseers, and this morning, the princes bought a large number of weapons, and now they have better muskets in their hands than the Peruvian overseers, and yesterday when there were no weapons in their hands, the Chinese laborers captured all the Peruvian overseers, and now the muskets are even better than them, how can they not be able to beat them.

Although only one day has passed, Li Mingyuan is completely different in the eyes of ordinary Taiping soldiers, in the past, they would also respect Li Mingyuan, but that is because Li Mingyuan is the son of the king, and they are better to Li Mingyuan because of their respect for the king.

But a day later, the situation completely changed, first Li Mingyuan led everyone to riot successfully, and then this morning brought a large number of weapons to the Taiping Army, if yesterday's uprising was still a bit of a coincidence, but today's events can not be explained by common sense, including Chen Guozhu, the old Taiping soldiers all believe that Li Mingyuan, with the guidance of the Heavenly Father can succeed, for Li Mingyuan said, do not think about it, subconsciously think that it is correct.

The morale of the Taiping army is high, Li Mingyuan is very satisfied, at this stage the Taiping army is still in a disadvantageous position, only by gathering all the Chinese together, it is possible to survive the counterattack of the Peruvians in the back.

The Duraya mine is about forty miles from the mine where Allen is located, and there are about 3,000 Chinese laborers in it.

Li Mingyuan's primary target was the Duraya mine, not only because of its proximity, but also because Duraya, as a Peruvian logistics base in the saltpeter-producing area, had stored a large amount of supplies.

At three o'clock in the morning, in the woods outside the Duraya mine, a low footstep sounded.

"Shizi, the soldiers of each battalion are already in place." At the edge of the woods, Chen Guozhu reported in a deep voice.

"Hide in the woods and don't make a sound." Li Mingyuan observed the mine road in front of him.

Chen Guozhu walked lightly to the back,

"Don't move, lest you be discovered by the Peruvians," Mr. Chen warned as he walked.

The soldiers passed to each other, and the soldiers in the back quickly quieted down.

"Xiaoshan, lead the reconnaissance company and take out the sentinels around the mine."

"Yes" Wang Xiaoshan saluted, ran to the position of the reconnaissance company in small steps, and led the soldiers to attack.

As a logistics base, Duraya stationed a thousand Peruvian regular soldiers, and unlike the last overseer, it would take a lot of effort for Li Mingyuan to eat them.

"Li Sandou, Chen Guozhu, Zhang Ansong."

"Here," the three named replied in a whisper.

"Chen Guozhu, Zhang Ansong, your battalion is the main attacker, immediately I will send you the artillery platoon and half a machine gun platoon, and within two hours, take the main gate of the mine for me."

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Chen Guozhu and Zhang Ansong said loudly.

"Li Sandou, take your battalion and three machine guns to block the entrance to the valley and prevent reinforcements from the valley garrison."

"Shizi, let go of a Peruvian soldier, I'll come to see you."

"Uncle Li, most of the Peruvian garrisons are in the valley, and only by blocking them can we give Uncle Chen time to capture the mine, so I hope the brothers can withstand the attack." Li Mingyuan said solemnly.

"Rest assured, Lao Li is also a person who has fought for more than ten years, and these Peruvians want to break through Lao Li's defense line, and they have to learn for a few more years."

"The valley defense line is entrusted to Uncle Li."

Li Mingyuan bowed to Li Sandou.

It was quiet in the woods, Li Sandou and his soldiers had rushed to the valley to set up a blocking position, and Chen Guozhu and Zhang Ansong also led their troops to the gate of the mine.

Outside the mine gates, several ghostly figures moved rapidly in the darkness.

With a "flutter", a sharp knife stabbed a sentry, and the reconnaissance company soldier behind him covered his mouth with his right hand, dragging the sentry's body backwards.

"Snap" a gunshot hit the place where the sentry was standing just now,

"Not good, the enemy has a dark sentinel."

There is no need for the pathfinder soldiers to remind him, Wang Xiaoshan already knows.

"You two lead someone to take out the Dark Sentinel." The sneak attack failed, and the only way to attack was to attack.

"Yes" The squad leader beside him greeted his respective soldiers and crawled forward.

The Sentry fired two shots and was killed by the Reconnaissance Company soldiers who came up from behind, but the sound of the Sentinel's gunfire had already alarmed the Peruvian troops in the mine, and it was impossible to take the gate as easily as last time.

"Da Niu, inform the prince that the sneak attack failed, and let the prince send reinforcements."

"Yes"

In a camp for Chinese workers at the Duraya deposit, a sturdy man in his thirties quietly rubbed an iron rod on a stone.

"Brother Luo, we are unarmed, even if you rub an iron rod into an iron gun, you can't beat the Peruvians." A Chinese worker in the tent spoke.

"Shut up, haven't you suffered enough? Lao Tzu would rather follow Brother Luo and the Peruvians to fight than live to suffer. ”

"Don't quarrel with the two of you," the lean man glanced at the two of them with his spare eyes, and neither of them spoke again.

The man put down the iron rod in his hand and said solemnly, "Peruvians don't treat us as human beings, from the mainland, more than half of a thousand people died, haven't you had enough?" The man's words became louder and louder, and the Chinese workers in the nearby tents also secretly ran out to listen to him.

"We Han people have a saying, the prince will have a kind of Xiangning? We don't ask for much, we don't ask to be a king, but if we let Lao Tzu die in the mine like a pig and dog, Lao Tzu will never want to. The man paused, and glanced at the Chinese workers around him: You are all well-known men, are you willing to work with Lao Luo.

"Grandma's, I've had enough of it a long time ago, I have a big scar on my broken head, and I am a good man again after eighteen years, Brother Luo, Zhao Yunshan did it with you."

"Count me alone, I'll live enough anyway."

Looking at the angry Chinese workers, the man beckoned to stop the following voice: Brothers, now we can't defeat the Peruvian army, so we must slowly develop our strength, and when they are negligent, we will raise the matter again.

In the original history, in 1870, Luo Linshan led the Chinese miners to launch a riot, and the unbearable Chinese workers joined his team, and the number expanded from hundreds to thousands, and even once hit the Peruvian coastal town of Barangca, and finally because of the large gap between the enemy and our strength, the Chinese workers were exterminated, and Luo Linshan was also killed.

Although the uprising failed, the Peruvian government's view of the Chinese changed greatly, and the social status of the Chinese improved a lot.

"Brother Luo, there are gunshots at the gate, and most of the troops who oversaw us have been taken away."

The Chinese workers who were on guard hurriedly ran back.

Luo Linshan listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard gunshots, and the gunshots became more and more intense.

"Brothers, this is a godsend. The Peruvians were all transferred, and our chance came, and everyone rushed out with me. ”

Luo Linshan led the Chinese workers to annihilate the small number of Peruvian troops left behind, captured a dozen muskets, and rushed to the place where the gunfire was most intense.
