After careful observation, Tianpeng concluded that the scale of the stone wall could accommodate a maximum of eight or nine hundred people, but it generally did not fill the number of people, and usually only maintained about seventy percent of the manpower, that is, five or six hundred people.

Last year, the pits were built and 40 percent of the miners were sucked away, and now there are about 300 miners in this mining area, and the defenders will never exceed 150.

Bailiyan decided to cut off the exit of the horseshoe-shaped pit from the periphery, and first attacked the beacon tower northwest of the stone wall to block the communication between the pit and the outside world.

At a young age, fifty old soldiers quietly detoured to the exit outside the pit, and another group of men and horses quickly approached the perimeter of the stone wall. Thanks to the defense of the Jin Xuedi people, their vision is mainly focused on the stone wall, and the guard outside the stone wall is not very strict, and they are easily rushed under the stone wall by the old soldiers, and successfully touch the stone wall under the beacon tower.

At the same time as the beacon tower started, Bailiyan led Tian Peng and others to touch an open iron fence entrance outside the stone wall, and vaguely heard the voice of the Jin Xuedi sentry inside. Bai Liyan motioned for the five old guards to climb over the stone wall, and entered the passage through the upper entrance, silently touching the three sentries.

"Tian Peng, I'll lead people first, you fall and follow behind, don't alarm the defenders until you have to."

"What's the point of being so sneaky, you can do it with them."

"If you think your brother's life is too long, you can try."

Bai Liyan felt more and more that the garrison of Jin Xuedi's people in the hinterland was quite lax, and he killed more than a dozen of them in a row, but he didn't react at all, and there were even guards dozing off at their posts with spears.

The defenders, who were less than one hundred and fifty men in total, were only thirty or forty on duty, and more than a dozen were killed, and there was no reaction at all, and most of the rest had already slept, so there was no need to make a big move.

Sure enough, more than 30 of them were touched in a row, until Bailiyan fell into their camp, and more than 100 people were still asleep in their dreams.

"Haha, these brutes are going to die today!"

Tian Peng was wielding two big axes with killing intent, and Bai Liyan hurriedly said:

"Kill a few less, kill all the resistants, and keep the others to be useful."

"What's the use!"

"I'll let you cut it down, tomorrow when Jin Xuedi looks at the wound, he will know that it is not a riot, it is we who burst in and kill the defenders."

Peasant revolt and armed insurrection are two completely different things, and the measures and intensity of the response are very different.

At best, a peasant revolt would have called out a garrison, and if it had been a premeditated and planned large-scale armed uprising, it would have been a whole formation of auxiliary corps, far more difficult to deal with than a scattered auxiliary.

With the sound of killing on the stone wall, the miners in the stone wall became restless, and Bai Liyan quickly resolved the battle to control the defenders, and asked Tian Peng to lead people to open the gate of the stone wall:

"Brothers, the white-haired thief has been defeated, and the rebels are outside to meet us, follow me to kill the white-haired thief!"

Under Tian Peng's instigation, the atmosphere boiled:

"Damn, I'm fed up with the wretchedness, brothers, sooner or later it's a death, fight with them!"

"Yes, if you don't die, you will die of illness in the mine, and if you die, you will pull two cushions on your back, kill!"

"Kill ......"

Rushing out of the stone wall, the miners opened the storehouse and picked up iron pickaxes and hoes, rushed to the stone wall, and killed the Jin Xuedi people who had been disarmed by Bailiyan.

"Hehaha...... What a fucking relief! ”

Tian Peng roared, and Bai Liyan said disdainfully:

"It's such a tailwind battle tonight, we also injured more than a dozen brothers, if we let the miners take the lead, why should we be injured more than a dozen people!"

"The white-haired thief is worse than us, and it doesn't matter if he injured more than a dozen people."

Tian Peng didn't think so, and Bai Liyan didn't know what to say about him.

The dead and wounded miners can be left behind, and the injured ones have to be taken away, Bailiyan's original plan was to compress the space of the Jin Xuedi people, and after basically contacting the arms, let the miners storm the Jin Xuedi camp.

In this way, you can avoid casualties and take the pit, and at the same time disguise yourself as a miners' riot. Tian Peng insisted on leading his subordinates to slash wildly, and as a result, more than a dozen people were injured by Jin Xuedi. Even though Jin Xuedi died the most, it would be very troublesome to carry the wounded with him.

It took less than two quarters of an hour to settle the battle, and Bailiyan ordered Tian Peng to quickly pack up the miners, gather all the weapons and tools he could find, arm them, and pull the men out of the pit overnight, heading straight for another gypsum mine thirty miles to the southwest.

Almost in the second half of the night, the gypsum mine was taken. At dawn, he captured a nearby nitrate mine, and captured three pits one after another throughout the night, pulling away more than 1,600 miners and killing more than 400 defenders.

At dawn, Bai Liyan pulled the team and quickly moved into the mountain, and the nearest garrison of the Jin Xuedi people learned the news of the mine riot at noon that day, and the transport team in charge of the mine transportation was the first to discover the riot.

By the time the auxiliary cavalry of the Jinxuedi people arrived at the three mines, it was already the afternoon of the same day, and after dark, Bailiyan attacked again, and in one night he took out four more distant mines, and at the same time he was getting closer and closer to Kamis and Bakusaa.

On the fifth day, the eleventh pit was breached, and the team quickly grew to more than 6,000 people, and the situation became complicated.

Since there was no army to hold the town, there were many people in the huge team who pulled the mountain, those who wanted to work alone, those who wanted to go home, and those who were timid and afraid of things and did not want to do it.

Imagine that there are more than 200 people, where can they control a team of five or six thousand people, and even a miner bully with more fierce strength than Tian Peng has appeared, clamoring to be strong and seize control.

"Tian Peng, tell those who make trouble, if you want to leave, you can go, we will never force you to stay."

"Chief, this can't be, the centaurs were pulled out by us, why let them go!"

"I said okay, it must be done, you don't have to look, can we stop them now, if we continue like this, we will be eaten by them. You go and tell them that if they want to break up, they can do whatever they want, and we will not stop them. ”

"What about weapons?"

"Whoever takes it belongs to whom, don't worry about these small gains and losses, we have more important things to do. Go for it. ”

"Okay, I'll tell them!"

A team full of internal contradictions and fragments has no combat effectiveness to speak of, and it is better to leave it alone and let it die on its own. These individuals must be strong, powerful, and not inferior to executioners.

Once dispersed in the area ruled by the Jinxuedi people, it will spread like a plague to all the surrounding villages inhabited by the Central Plains people under the high-pressure rule of the Jinxuedi people, and in a short period of time, the local area will quickly fall into turmoil, and the public security will deteriorate, and it will be able to disperse the forces of the Jinxuedi people, and it is not clear who is the mastermind and who is the accomplice, and there is no time to deploy troops to deal with hundreds of people in Bailiyan.

As soon as the news of the disbandment was announced, the team almost unsurprisingly disintegrated into several large groups, several small groups, and many scattered individuals who wanted to go home to see their wives.

"Chief, what are we going to do now?"

Tian Peng asked, and Bai Liyan asked him unhurriedly:

"How many people are willing to follow us?"

Tian Peng said with a dark face:

"Five, five hundred people ......"

Bai Liyan also chuckled in her heart, but she didn't expect that five or six thousand people would disperse really quickly, and only more than five hundred people were willing to follow.

"Forget it, while the sky is still bright, let's move as soon as possible, don't kill them."

Urging everyone to go on the road, Bailiyan pulled the people and horses to quickly transfer and rushed to the next phosphate pit, and that night, two more pits were removed.

At the same time, the 5,000 or 6,000 people who had already dispersed, like locusts, quickly ravaged the villages inhabited by the descendants of the Central Plains, as well as the mining areas, and the riot rapidly grew from a few thousand to tens of thousands, or even more, in a few days, which really caught the Jinxuedi people by surprise.

In the Posong City Palace, the local magistrate rushed through the corridor to the office of Gudapa and said in a panic:

"Your Excellency, something has happened, something has happened!"

"What's the matter!"

Gudapa frowned, stood up and approached the magistrate, and took the letter from the other party's hand suspiciously, and the cover of the letter was stamped with three red seals, which suddenly made Gudapa nervous. After reading the letter and looking at it closely, his face turned pale:

"What's the matter, didn't there be any warning of the miners' riot beforehand, why didn't our undercover agents work?"

"It's not clear yet, but now the riot has spread to seven nearby Central Plains villages, and is spreading to Qamis and Bakusaa." The Magistrate said quickly.

"Hell, we can't let them storm our districts, it's going to make our people suffer! Immediately convene a municipal meeting, troops should be sent to suppress it immediately, go quickly! ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Gudapa then went to Kabias's office, only to find him flirting with a Central Plains prostitute:

"Get out!"

Gudapa scolded, and the prostitute put away her clothes in a panic, and Kabias sat back down at the wooden table with a straight look:

"What provoked you, to be so angry."

"I also asked what happened, there were riots in more than a dozen mines east of Qamis and Bakusaa, and the riots spread to the vicinity, and soon tens of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of untouchables would kill Kamis and Bakusaa.

There was one-fifth of our grain, one-twentieth of our cloth, salt, meat, wine, and medicine, all of which were ready to supply the main army of the Northern Expedition for transit, and once they were taken away by these mobs, they would expand rapidly. It will make things worse before the main army arrives, and we must immediately mobilize Etis's auxiliary legions to suppress them. ”

"My Lord Executive, I have no problem with mobilizing the auxiliary legions of Etis to suppress them, but please don't exaggerate and boast of these rabble as terrible demons, they will always be a plate of loose sand, not worthy of our panicked sleep and food."

"Don't underestimate them, this riot is unusual, it was an organized and premeditated riot, and we haven't received any news, we must not take it lightly, otherwise we will suffer a big loss!"

"Alright then, I agree to mobilize Etis's auxiliary legions to suppress them, I believe that Your Majesty will soon replenish more slaves for us, these unfortunate fellows, they jumped out to find their own death, and this is not up to us."

The two agreed that the order to mobilize the Etis Legion was issued quickly after the end of the city council.
