Chapter 301: The Old Pit

Just when Jia Yi was pondering whether to write a letter to Feng An, the latest battle report came from the front, that is, the Nanzhao tribes that were beaten basically not many people left had announced their surrender, and this news made Jia Yi's heart fall back in an instant, and it was too time to surrender.

Although the war has ended, but now we still can't relax our vigilance, and we have to always beware of the counterattack of those diehards in Nanzhao, so the armor on the soldiers did not take off under Jia Yi's request, and the daily routine patrols and inspections will still be completed with quality and quantity.

Now that Nanzhao has surrendered, then the next time is the time to collect the loot, although he has searched for a lot of good things on land before, but the real good things are all buried in the ground, Jia Jia, who knows this very well, began to search all over the world.

Since Jia Yi didn't know exactly where the old pit was, and he didn't know if someone had already started mining the old pit at this time, it became very difficult to find the old pit.

In order not to let the friends ask questions, Jia Yi explained to everyone from the beginning that there is a very high possibility of a jade pit here, so when Jia Yi issued an order to find the old pit, the partners who had been silent for a long time immediately burst out with the greatest enthusiasm, and every day someone would lead a team of people to search for the location of the so-called old pit nearby.

The search process was not very smooth, as Jia Yi thought, no matter what nationality it was, when facing the danger of extinction, there was always a part of the people who burst out with great energy and attacked those who dared to invade their territory.

Qin Huaiyu led the pair of people to find the location of the old pit that Jia Yi said in a mountain range, however, as soon as they walked into a mountain col, suddenly countless arrows began to emerge on both sides of the mountain, and at the same time, they quickly gave an order to find cover to avoid the attack of arrows.

After the initial confusion, the soldiers found a funny phenomenon, that is, the arrows shot by the other party could not break the defense of their armor at all, the reason is very simple, although the arrows shot by the other party are very sharp, but there are no iron arrows, if this thing is shot directly on the human body, it will inevitably penetrate deeply into the human body, but if it is shot on the steel plate, it will not have any impact on the steel plate.

Although the arrows were still flying over, after the initial chaos, the soldiers' hearts were quickly relaxed, and under the command of Qin Huaiyu, they began to count the casualties, and after some counting, the kind of ridicule that had just climbed up on everyone's faces was instantly replaced by anger.

Accidents are everywhere, one of the three hundred people in the team was unlucky was an arrow through the eye, although he did not die at the time, but after such a serious injury for a period of time, he finally failed to survive, and died directly, and there were more than twenty minor injuries, basically all of them were pierced by the tip of the arrow and did not have much protection in their legs.

The death of the opposing soldiers on the battlefield will bring their own people to the earth-shattering cheers, but the casualties of their own personnel can bring people monstrous hatred, and no one will want to watch their own people die under the arrows of the other side.

After no more arrows were fired in the sky, Qin Huaiyu, who was full of anger, decisively pulled out the three-edged military thorns on his body after properly placing the dead and wounded soldiers, and gave the order to attack the hills on both sides of the mountain col.

Bursting arrows with iron arrows flew up the hill from the soldiers' crossbows, and a violent sound soon resounded on both sides of the mountain, accompanied by screams and sparks and sparks coming out of the mountain.

A volley of fire caused the enemy troops on both sides of the mountain to mess up the phalanx, and the crying father and mother quickly got into the woods below the mountain with their heads in their hands, and even the corpses of those companions on the mountain did not care to collect.

When Qin Huaiyu rushed up the hill, he only saw corpses all over the ground, but he couldn't find a living person, and his anger that had nowhere to vent quickly fell into the woods below the mountain, anyway, it was not his own hungry land, even if he turned all these trees into ashes.

Soon, the soldiers who received Qin Huaiyu's order aimed their ignited explosive arrows at the woods on the hills on both sides, and with the sound of the arrows leaving the strings, countless flames also burst out in the woods.

The weather was dry, and all the trees were the best time to burn, and the sporadic fires soon ignited all the trees, and the sky-high fire could still be seen clearly even from a hundred and ten miles away.

Seeing such a big movement here, for fear that something would happen to Qin Huaiyu, Jia Yi quickly asked people to pack up the camp tent, take the other detachments that had already returned, and rushed towards the place where Qin Huaiyu was.

Soon when Jia Yi came to Qin Huaiyu, he saw the first corpse that appeared since their landing, the whole army was silent, and everyone's heart became a little low, it stands to reason that these soldiers are all used to life and death on the battlefield, but maybe Jia Yi's hooligan tactics have made them gradually accustomed to this kind of battle where there are no more casualties, and suddenly seeing dead people, they couldn't accept it for a while.

Finding a military doctor and properly dealing with the injuries of the twenty or so wounded soldiers, Jia Yi followed Qin Huaiyu and climbed up the hill that still exuded temperature, the woods were not very big, only twenty or thirty acres, and now they were burned by the fire, and everything that the woods were hidden by was all presented in everyone's sight.

A large pit with a diameter of fifty or sixty meters existed quietly in the ashes, and some stones that shone with turquoise light told Jia Yi that this was the location of the old pit he had been looking for for a long time.

Seeing that the old pit that he was looking for appeared in front of his eyes in this form, Jia Yi couldn't help but sigh a little, although they found the old pit with countless values, but they lost a precious human life, no one knows if this deal is worth it, but now the human life has been lost, and the living people have to live well, so that people can remember the name and home address of the dead soldier, Jia Yi decided that the first piece of jade produced in this old pit will belong to the soldier's family.

No one showed any opinion on this, and they all chose to follow Jia Yi's arrangement.

After the initial grief, people soon became happy again, because when they went down to the old pit, they found that there were still many mining tools at the bottom of the pit that could not be transported out in time, and even a lot of polished jadeite was still neatly placed in the warehouse.

The people of Nanzhao should also know the value of this old pit, so even if they knew that they couldn't defeat the army armed to the teeth on Jia Yi's side, there were still many people who came to die.

Since he has already taken the fat in his mouth, Jia Yi has never thought of giving it away, now is the delivery period after the end of the war, Feng Ang has not had time to take care of the battle situation on his side now, only after he has completely defeated Nanzhao, he dares to enter Nanzhao's territory with his soldiers.

The task of guarding the old pit became more and more difficult with the consumption of materials, and there was no place nearby that could replenish supplies, so Jia Yi also began to thrift his food.

I don't know if this old pit is too important to the Nanzhao people or what's going on, the number of people sent to death has not decreased, but there is a trend of increasing, and the pressure on Jia Yi's side is also slowly increasing, originally in his plan, this kind of thing will not happen in close combat, but if it goes on like this, he will have to go into battle to kill the enemy.

The first time he became the coach, Jia Yi realized that things on the battlefield were really the same as the weather, changing rapidly, and there was almost no good way to foresee the future form.

"Jia Yi, it's not a way to go on like this, our exploding arrows are running out, if we can't let these people retreat, then even if our equipment is good enough, there will be a lot of casualties."

Cheng Chumo, who has been fighting on the battlefield since he was a child, saw the form very accurately, and judged the current situation for the first time, and came to Jia Yi.

Jia Yi was speechless for Cheng Chumo's reminder, he also saw that the current form was not very good, but he didn't have any good way to break the current very unfavorable situation, if they left now, they might be able to save themselves, but when the time comes, it will not be so easy to kill again, after all, even if it is an advanced weapon, after using it once, the opponent will inevitably have precautions, and when the time comes, their bursting arrows will not have this effect. No one can give an affirmative answer.

"Pass the order, after leaving one base number of bursting arrows, the whole team will evacuate, and all the jadeites that can be taken away will not be left."

Compared with money, Jia Yi values people's lives more, there is a good saying, even if there is more money, it must be a life flower, no one in the world can earn money, rather than guarding such a gold mine and waiting for death, it is better to use this place as a cornucopia, and it is more practical to come and get some flowers when you are short of money.

The consumption of the burst arrow soon reached the value specified by Jia Yi, although everyone was full of unhappiness, but for the sake of their own lives, everyone still obeyed Jia Yi's order, but everyone's body was full of jade, and if they couldn't make a big fortune, then they would make a small fortune.
