Chapter 22: The First Sounds of the Mine

"My lord, what should I do?" Chen Shan asked Chen Yuan for instructions.

"Those who descend live, and those who resist kill!" Chen Yuan said coldly. It's time to give some color to some people.

"Yes." Chen Shan gave a military salute, turned around and shouted: "The adults have an order, those who descend live, and those who resist are killed!" Chen Jiang shouted.

"Yes. Those who descend live, and those who resist kill! Everyone responded in unison, and the sound of cheers resounded like thunder throughout the mine, and the escorts on the opposite side trembled like fallen leaves in the wind, and many of them seemed to hold their swords and guns firmly.

"All of them, forward!" Chen Jiang pulled out his waist knife and pointed forward.

"Those who descend live, and those who resist kill! Those who descend live, and those who resist kill ....."

The entire queue slowly stepped forward. The front gun array held a long bamboo spear flat, and the crossbowman held the crossbow machine flat, following behind, and the sword soldiers on both wings were outflanked on the left and right, faintly surrounding the mine protection team.

Wen An's face was pale, and he unconsciously retreated step by step with the mine protection team.

Seeing that the two sides were only ten steps apart, Chen Jiang was ruthless and was about to lead people to rush forward.

Not far away, a group of centaurs appeared, and the first two Pegasus arrived.

"Brothers, kill these people in front of you first, and then we will deal with those behind you." Seeing that Chen Yuan and Chen Shan on the side were expressionless, Chen Jiang tightened the knife in his hand and shouted fiercely. Today, it is the first battle of the security regiment, and it cannot be lost in any case.

"Wait, Hugh has to do it." The two horsemen shouted and came galloping.

The one in front of him was a middle-aged scribe, it was Zhao Mengchen, and the one in the back, dressed in black, was very strong, but it was Zhao Zhong.

"Stop." Chen Yuan shouted, Chen Jiang restrained his steps that were about to rush forward, and led the whole team to slowly retreat. The team members readjusted, lined up on both sides, one side continued to suppress the mine guards, and the other side protected behind Chen Yuan, facing the people outside the mine.

Zhao Mengchen threw off the saddle and dismounted, threw the reins to Zhao Zhong, and walked over to Chen Yuan.

"Zhao Yuanwai is not harmed? I didn't expect that in this barren mountain and wild place, I was fortunate to see the dignity of the outside. Chen Yuan smiled and arched his hand.

"To be able to see the inspector again, Zhao is very happy." Zhao Mengchen bowed his hand and saluted back.

"Chen has some personal matters to deal with, and I am afraid that I will not have time to ask Zhao Yuanwai for advice for a while. Zhao Yuanwai and Zhao Zhong brothers might as well step aside for the time being, wait to send these evil guests, and then talk to Zhao Yuanwai and Zhao brothers, do you think it's okay? ”

"Inspector, don't do it!" Zhao Yuanwai hurriedly stopped.

"Oh, could it be that Zhao Yuanwai was appointed by the Shi family to prevent my Chen family from recovering the mine?" Chen Yuan said lightly.

"Inspector, Zhao was not appointed by the Shi family, but he heard about it on the road, and I thought there might be some misunderstanding, so Pegasus came to persuade him." Zhao Mengchen said solemnly.

"Oh." Chen Yuan nodded, noncommittal.

People and horses drove in from afar, about 100 people, and there were many ox carts and carriages. The leader is the leader, but he is the leader of the team who came to Chen's house two days ago, leading more than a dozen people wearing soap clothes. glared at Chen Yuan fiercely, bypassed the security group array, and joined Director Liu and the others.

Chen Yuan smiled, casually stopped Chen Jiang, who was about to take action, and let the two Bashi families merge. Chen Jiang also commanded the queue adjustment.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuanwai also heard the wind. Zhao Yuanwai may not know that this mine is the Chen family's property, which was forcibly occupied by the Shi family a few days ago, and today Chen is here to recover the property. If the Shi family is willing to voluntarily withdraw from the mining area, Chen has no intention of investigating it in detail. Chen Yuan turned his head and said to Zhao Mengchen.

"Alas, Zhao and County Lieutenant Shi are old friends, and they are also familiar with the inspector at first sight. Zhao also heard about the affairs of the Shi and Chen families, so as soon as he heard the news, Pegasus rushed over. There may be some misunderstanding between the two families, and there is no need to make such a fuss. This sword soldier has no eyes, and once there is a loss, it is not a good thing with the two families. Since there are a large number of inspectors, Zhao followed Lu Zhonglian and went to persuade him. ”

"It's so hard to get out of the way." Chen Yuan arched his hand.

Zhao Mengchen nodded, pulled the horse with Zhao Zhong, bypassed the battle formation, and walked towards Director Liu in front of the main hall.

Director Liu and his gang received support, and their morale rose. Wen An also came back to his senses, reorganized the escort team, and gathered more than 200 people with the head of the Yakou team and the head catcher, and confronted the Chen family again.

"My lord, what now?" The number of people on the other side has more than doubled, and he still has only more than 100 people, Chen Jiang is annoyed.

"Why, I'm afraid." Chen Shan said on the side.

"I'm not afraid, but I'm worried that my brothers will be a little damaged. After all, many of the brothers had not been through the battle. Chen Jiang said.

Chen Yuan frowned, and said decisively: "This time, we have no room for concession, we must drive the Shi family out of the mine." Tell the brothers that today I am invincible! ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Chen Jiang solemnly responded to the order, and he wanted to step forward with a knife.

"Wait, come back." Chen Yuan stopped Chen Jiang, "Change Chen Shi, pull the crossbowmen up, as soon as the battle starts, the spearmen in front squat, let the crossbowmen fire a salvo first, and then the spears rush forward to kill." ”

First use crossbowmen to kill the prestige of the Shi family, twenty crossbows, let alone more than ten people, it is strange that the Shi family does not collapse. Chen Jiang's eyes lit up, and he went to arrange it with understanding.

"Let's go ahead." Chen Yuan greeted Chen Shandao.

The two groups of people were twenty steps apart, Chen Yuan came to the front of the formation, and Zhao Mengchen's master and servant also accompanied Manager Liu and the others over.

Seeing Zhao Mengchen's helpless face, the meaning of the Shi family was understood needless to say.

"It's hard work."

"Can the inspector listen to Zhao's persuasion and retreat today, the matter of this mine will fall on Zhao, and Zhao will have a good relationship with the Shi family to solve this misunderstanding." Zhao Mengchen arched his hand.

Chen Yuan shook his head and said coldly: "Zhao Yuanwai doesn't need to say more, this jackal has meat in his mouth, how can he be willing to spit it out, today, the Chen family must take back the mine." If the Shi family doesn't leave, they will drive them away with knives and guns! ”

"Why should the inspector be so anxious. Now that the imperial court is in danger and the people are displaced, we must work together to expel the Tartars and save the country and the people. How can there be a reason to fight in the same room? ”

"I also agree with Zhao Yuanwai's words, but I am afraid that some people will plunder the people and enrich themselves when the country is in trouble. How can such a person have the intention of saving the country and the people? Zhao Yuanwai doesn't need to say more. If you still think Chen is a friend, please watch from the wall. Chen Yuan shook his head and said.

Zhao Mengchen shook his head helplessly. The day before yesterday, the leader of the team who broke into Chen's house came forward with trembling chains and howled.

"Chen Yuan, the relocation of the money prison and the expropriation of the mine is the decision of the county yamen, if you don't retreat, don't blame me for going down and taking you and sending you to the yamen for punishment."

"Haha, this team leader is so majestic! It seems that Chen didn't entertain well the day before yesterday, and the team leader jumped up and down today! Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Bold, little errand man, dare to threaten adults!" Chen Shan also stepped forward and shouted.

"What my lord. The county has made a resolution that Chen Yuan has gathered the crowd and has been removed from the post of inspector. You and the people, listen, the mine here has been returned to the imperial court, Chen Yuan is no longer in the post of inspector, don't be fooled by it, leave quickly, otherwise it will be like a rebellion! The leader of the group shouted.

Chen Yuan stood aside with a smile and let the team yell. The crowd heard that Chen Yuan had been dismissed, some hesitated, and some were angry.

The gunmen and crossbowmen in the first few rows were expressionless, and these people were Chen Jiang's subordinates. Chen Yuan couldn't help but nodded.

"Brothers, everyone in this lead mountain knows that this mine has belonged to the Chen family since the beginning, and it was built little by little by Master Chen under the leadership of the people. Now that the Shi family is fighting for power, forcibly occupying it under the guise of the imperial court, how can there be such a reason in the world. Now, the Shi family has even announced personal vendettas, appointed the power of guarding the center, and removed the post of adult inspection! It is even more necessary to punish the adult, thus taking away the Chen family's property. Brothers, you say, let's not accept it! Chen Shan stepped in front of everyone and shouted.

"Not convinced! Defy! Defy! The crowd shouted in unison.

"What can you do if you don't accept it, whoever doesn't accept it is a rebellion, and you have to eat a lawsuit and cut off your head. If you don't disperse yet, aren't you afraid that the king's law will not be successful? The leader of the team sneered, walked up to everyone, shook the iron chain loudly, and threatened.

Not far away, Zhao Mengchen frowned.

"Master, what shall we do?"

"Alas, it's just a dead end. What is the prestige of the imperial court now? Let's go, a battle will start in a while, and the sword and arrow will have no eyes. Zhao Mengchen shook his head and said.

The two masters and servants led the horses and went a little farther away.

The leader of the squad continued to threaten, but the crowd did not disperse as he intended, and the spearmen and crossbowmen in front of him were unmoved, and could not help but be a little depressed.

After the leader of the team was deflated, Chen Yuan walked in front of everyone and arched his hand: "Brothers, Chen is a person, and adults should know it." Chen is not a greedy person. This mining field is not in Chen's eyes. But some people are under the banner of the imperial court, and they can't plunder at all.

Now the Mengyuan Tartars are going south and wantonly killing the people. Chen scattered all his family wealth and formed a security group to expel the Tartars and protect the territory and the people. Some officials who led the court and ate the people's offerings did not think so, they were greedy for life and afraid of death, so they surrendered on their knees and threw the people to the Tartars to fish and meat wantonly. The same is true of the old men of the Leadshan County Ya, they are afraid that if I lead the people to rise up and fight with the Tartars, it will bring disaster to them and break their dream of taking refuge in the Tartars, so they suppress them in every way. In vain, they tried to plunder the wealth of my Chen family, cut off the food of our security group, let us put down the swords and guns in our hands, and let the Tartars kill us. Brothers, we disagree! ”

"These lackeys of the Tartars, let's fight with them!"

"Yes, we must not say yes!"

"You can't say yes." The crowd shouted.

Chen Yuan raised his arms again and exclaimed, "Okay." Since the brothers believed in Chen, they rushed to kill with Chen. There is no peace, and the people are not happy, so we will use the swords and guns in our hands to kill a Lang Lang Dynasty and a world where the people can live. Brothers, kill! ”

"Kill, kill, kill!" Everyone shouted in unison and slowly stepped forward. The Shi family was shocked. Manager Liu and some team leaders hurriedly retreated, and Wen An was also busy shouting and tidying up the escort team.

"Brothers, come with me. Those who descend live, and those who resist die. Chen Yuan coldly pulled out his waist knife and ordered.

"Those who descend live, and those who resist die!"

The array of security guards slowly approached like a mountain.

The two groups of people quickly approached, and when they were ten steps apart, Chen Yuan shouted sharply: "Gun formation, squat!" ”

With a shout, the three rows of spearmen in front of them squatted down with their guns, exposing the two columns of crossbowmen behind. The crossbowmen held a small crossbow with a cluster of slightly cyan arrows coldly facing the Shi family.

"Chen Yuan, you really dare to rebel!" The team leader shouted.

In response to his words, it was Chen Yuan who coldly shouted: "Crossbowman team, release!" ”

The crossbowmen pulled their hands on the surface, and twenty crossbow arrows flew towards the Shi family's mine protection team, splashing a puff of blood.

In the distance, Zhao Mengchen shook his head. Things are still getting to the point of blood seeming.

"Brothers, kill!" Chen Yuan raised his knife and shouted.

The pikemen rose to their feet, hurried a few steps, and stabbed their guns at the stunned enemy. The long bamboo spear instantly pierced the enemy's chest. Some of them raised their knives and spears, watched in horror at the blood gushing from their chests and abdomen, and then let out a deathly howl, and as the spears were retracted, they fell heavily to the ground.

The front row of guns paused for a while, and the back row of spears arrived, and another neat row of spears stabbed forward, knocking over more than a dozen people. Three rows of guns, gunners like machines, step up, bayonet, retract, the second row in turn, bayonet, retract, after the second row, the third row forward. The array of guns rolled like a wheel, mercilessly harvesting the lives in front of them.

Wen An, who was standing in the forefront, and a group of catchers were taken care of by the crossbow as soon as possible, and fell in a pool of blood. Under the fierce array of guns, the mine guard team in front instantly dispersed, and many people dropped their knives and guns, and rushed backwards in horror, scattering the men who came to assist in the transportation behind.

"Let people inform Chen Jiang and collect some murderous nature. Those who descend will not die. Chen Yuan looked at the scattered Shi family not far away, shook his head, and said.

This is the difference between organized and unorganized. Although there are still many deficiencies in the security team array, dealing with this rabble who only know how to scream is like cutting tofu with a knife.

"Yes." A relative ran forward and informed Chen Jiang.

In the distance, the Zhao family's master and servant also watched the murderous slaughter coldly.

"Zhao Zhong, what do you think of this Chen Yuanbu?"

"When a soldier first enters the battle formation, he does not know the method of warfare. However, he is disciplined, can obey orders, and is indeed a good soldier, and has the strength to fight. The commander of the general command is a little unlawful. Zhao Zhong replied solemnly.

"Oh, what if someone who knows the war is leading?" Zhao Mengchen asked thoughtfully.

"No less than the Forbidden Army." Zhao Zhong said in a deep voice.

"Oh." Zhao Mengchen was shocked, didn't say anything more, and looked intently at the tearing that was not far away.

The tearing up of the mine was decided from the beginning. The short knives and spears of the Shi family were far from reaching the long bamboo guns, and Wen An and a few fierce men were taken care of by the crossbow arrows at the beginning of the war.

Blood flowed in the mine, and dozens of people fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. Some of them fled out of the mine, only to be blocked back by Sen Leng's crossbowmen. After the crossbowmen released an arrow, under the command of the captain, they loaded the crossbow and blocked the intersections leaving the mining area.
