Chapter 156: Ten Thousand Cliffs Deposits
"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Sudden ......"
At this time, the bullets of muskets burst out of the corridor, killing some soldiers to the ground, and Huang Wenliu's adjutant saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly asked him to escape from the west gate.
"Okay, if you stay in Qingshan, you are not afraid of no firewood, Lao Tzu will definitely take Wanya Prefecture back!"
Before escaping, Huang Wenliu left a cruel sentence, and then fled in a hurry regardless of his image, but except for the adjutant, no one heard this sentence at all.
In the previous wars, Zhao Rui did not deliberately capture the Jiaozhi soldiers, but this Wanya Prefecture is different, and I don't know the situation of the copper mine, which may require a large number of miners, so Zhao Rui arranged it at the beginning and issued a military order not to let go of an enemy.
The order was forbidden, and Su Tuo, as the new lieutenant general, received this order and immediately led people to surround the other three city gates, and the west gate was used as a passage to Thang Long City, and Su Tuo personally guarded it.
"Lord Huang, what should I do, someone is guarded, I can't escape! Why don't we change the city gate! ”
Huang Wenliu and his lieutenant lay down in the gap of the city wall, looking carefully out of the city.
"Idiot, since they want to block the door, will there be a door that can't be left! Go pack up your forces now, and let's rush out together! ”
Huang Wenliu made up his mind, organized more than 400 capable soldiers, and after giving the order to break through, he asked people to open the city gate.
Listening to the sound, Su Tuo immediately shouted: "All of them, aim!" ”
"Click, click, click......" The mechanical sound of the bolt of the gun rang out.
"Rush!"
Huang Wenliu hid behind the group of soldiers, shouting the slogan of the charge.
"Shoot!"
Seeing the enemy pouring out like a tide, Su Tuo gave an order, and nearly a thousand rifles fired together.
"Sudden ...... Suddenly...... Sudden ......"
is extremely rhythmic, this is exactly what Zhao Rui asked them to "breathe and shoot", every time they breathe, they will shoot once, and for recruits, they can get the greatest accuracy.
There were only more than 400 people on the opposite side, and in the face of a thousand musketeers, even if the pace was slower, it was enough to resist any charge.
The Cochin soldiers in front were beaten into a hornet's nest, and more than half of them were killed or wounded in the blink of an eye, so frightened that the Cochin soldiers behind did not dare to rush again.
Seeing such a situation, Su Tuo gathered all the soldiers and shouted the slogan: "Surrender or kill!" Surrender without killing ......"
Forehead...... Can you surrender and not die?
Ants are still alive, let alone humans.
Seeing the hesitant expressions on the faces of the soldiers, as if they couldn't hold their weapons, Huang Wenliu scolded angrily, saying that whoever dared to retreat must be served by military law!
Even then, it gradually became a little uncontrollable.
Why didn't the adjutant help at this time, Huang Wenliu turned his head hatefully.
I saw that the adjutant was already holding a white flag at this time, and he was waving in the wind there!
Bastard!
The white flag that had never been found was in the hands of the adjutant, and Huang Wenliu knew that he could not escape, so he resigned himself to his fate, and was immediately captured by the Song soldiers who caught up.
Capturing the enemy's leader was naturally a great joy, and Su Tuo immediately took Huang Wenliu to Zhao Rui's face.
This battle, especially after the breakdown, was much easier than that of the city, and most of the Jiaozhi soldiers honestly laid down their arms and surrendered.
On the one hand, they listened to Zhao Rui's policy of surrendering and not killing, and on the other hand, it was estimated that the deserters from Lang City had arrived in Wanya Prefecture and were mixed with the officers and soldiers, and they had already heard about the power of muskets, and they didn't dare to resist anymore.
In this way, Zhao Rui unexpectedly captured more than 3,000 Jiaozhi soldiers, so many that the prison of the government could not fit at all, so he found an empty house and ordered people to gather to guard it.
The food of 3,000 people is not a trivial matter, Zhao Rui must quickly find a copper mine for them to work, otherwise he will have to send them to various places to separate them to farm.
Zhao Rui first counted the grain depot, I have to say that this is indeed a good place to grow grain, and the grain reserves are also a lot more than that of Lang City, there are more than 2 million catties of grain, which not only meets the consumption of the people here, but also can be brought back to supplement the food of the 50,000 displaced people, even if the displaced people increase again, Zhao Rui is not afraid, and it will not be long before the grain will begin to be harvested.
But that's not the point, Zhao Rui's heart is tied to the copper mine, so he immediately summoned the city guard Huang Wenliu.
Huang Wenliu is in his forties, and his appearance is also official, but he has to kneel in front of Zhao Rui, a twenty-year-old boy, and the belly squeezed out because of kneeling makes him very bloated.
"Lord Huang, isn't it very rare for people in Jiaozhi to be able to eat like you?"
Zhao Rui is used to seeing the black and thin appearance of Jiaozhi people, and it is really rare to see a fat man by chance.
"Yes, my lord, I am malnourished and fat." Huang Wenliu heard Zhao Rui's question, and hurriedly replied, a pair of small eyes kept spinning.
"Hehe, it's really funny, you're still malnourished like this. Okay, without talking nonsense, tell me where your copper mine is and take me to see it! ”
Zhao Rui's face suddenly turned stunned, and Huang Wenliu trembled all over, but then he was puzzled: "No, Lord Wang, I have been an official here for two years, and I have not heard of any copper mines here." ”
Seeing that his face did not seem to be fake, Zhao Rui took out the gall alum from his arms and handed it to him.
"I want a place where this crystal is produced!"
"Oh, I know this, it's just outside the North City Gate, this one was just discovered, I thought it was a sapphire, I took it out to sell, and I was laughed at."
It can be seen that Huang Wenliu still has some understanding of this, and Zhao Rui immediately asked Zhao Gong to take people and go with him to have a look.
Along the way, Huang Wenliu kept talking, close to Zhao Rui, revealing that he wanted to follow Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui didn't say anything for the time being, and he didn't have a good face, but Huang Wenliu was still flattering.
Except for the north city gate, it took more than an hour to come to the origin of the crystal.
Looking at the ravines and ravines in front of him, Zhao Rui knew the origin of the name of Wanyazhou.
It turns out that the land of Wanya Prefecture is towering above the surface, and the north is a lofty mountain, but the height of Wanya Prefecture is almost parallel to the peaks of these mountains, so standing here and looking at the past, they are all bottomless cliffs.
"Right on top of that hill!"
Following the direction of Huang Wenliu's finger, there is a towering mountain, the surface of the mountain is lush and green, and the topography of the mountain looks relatively flat.
"Really?"
Zhao Gong frowned, looking at the distance of more than ten zhang, and couldn't help asking, "How can you go over such a long distance?" ”
"Oh, I see some of them throwing ropes, fixing them and then sliding over them." Huang Wenliu replied truthfully.
Zhao Gong looked around, where was the shadow of the rope, and said indignantly: "Then you didn't say it earlier!" ”
Huang Wenliu glanced at him and muttered, "I don't know how to get over it!" ”
Zhao Rui looked at the distance and thought that the Jiaozhi people were really natural jungle experts, and it was really amazing that such a mountain could be rowed over by a rope.
"Alright, I'll take a look!"
Zhao Rui casually drew a dancing talisman, which made people mistakenly think that he was pinching the Buddha seal.
At this time, most people believed in Taoism and Buddhism, but because the southwest side was close to the birthplace, Buddhism was more prevalent.
Everyone has seen a lot of eminent monks, but they have never seen anything special about them.
Zhao Rui's gesture made people very interested, and they were all waiting to see how he could reach such a distant mountain.
Zhao Rui stood on the edge of the cliff, deliberately retreated a few steps, and then suddenly accelerated and sprinted forward.
Huang Wenliu was startled, jumping like this would kill people, but when he stretched out his hand to stop it, Zhao Rui had already reached the edge of the cliff at a very fast speed, and jumped down.
Oh, my God!
Jumped!
Zhao Gong and the rest of the veterans reacted quite calmly, because they had already seen Zhao Rui's feat of firing cannons in his body, so it was not unusual to jump farther.
But some of the recruits and Huang Wenliu were different, they rushed to the edge of the cliff one after another, looking at Zhao Rui's erratic figure, their eyes were about to fall out in surprise.
In fact, Zhao Rui was just a trick to help him run, and he didn't want to be too scary.
Even so, Zhao Rui's long-distance running and jumping is enough to make people think that he is a demon.
I saw that Zhao Rui's body seemed to be gliding in the air, and he landed lightly on a big tree on the mountain.
After making a safe gesture towards Zhao Gong, Zhao Rui jumped off the tree and carried out the exploration of mineral deposits.
Fortunately, it has been determined that it is on the top of the mountain, a total of only a radius of more than 20 meters, and the bile water is still easy to find, just under a boulder with a drop on the mountain, a pool of blue-green water, in a natural hole jumped into view.
The hole is close to the upper perimeter, and there are also a lot of bile crystals, like blue ice crystals.
Bile water will not appear out of thin air, it is not possible to know that there is a large amount of copper ore under the uplift next to it, or the entire mountain is composed of copper ore, such a location is better, mining can be directly excavated from the mountain, avoiding the tedious operation of digging holes.
Zhao Rui looked at this mountain, as if he had seen countless bullets.
Without hesitation, Zhao Rui flew again and jumped back to everyone's side, attracting another round of admiration.
Immediately Zhao Rui returned to Wanyazhou City, appointed Su Tuo, and sent the Jiaozhi soldiers prisoners to the mountain to collect copper mines, this mountain is towering, and there is no fear that someone will deliberately escape, and the area is not large, only a small number of people are needed, you can take care of it, and then there is the equipment of muskets, these Jiaozhi people do not dare to rashly attack.
The geographical environment of Wanya Prefecture determines that it must be a farming city, in addition to being able to reach Wenzhou and Hulang, there is also a road to the west leading to Xuanhua Prefecture, which is the northwest direction, away from the city of Thang Long City, and the other directions are cliffs, and they are not afraid of the Jiaozhi people to send heavy troops to take back.
What Zhao Rui didn't expect was that the population of Wanya Prefecture was still a little larger than that of Langlang, reaching more than 180,000, and it is estimated that this may be the main small grain producing area in the surrounding area, supplying food from Langzhou and other places.
