Chapter 429: Attack on the Gold Mine

Hot recommendation:、

Zheng Tianshou led the miners to come, and Chao Gai said: "The corpses of the guards have been cleaned up, Director Zheng will lead people to bury them, remember to set up a stone monument." ”

Zheng Tianshou said: "Brother, don't worry, I will do a good job, it is summer now, and it is easy to cause plague if you don't bury it." ”

The silver mine was snatched back so easily, more than 3,000 soldiers were mobilized, and the battle was over so quickly, Jiao Ting asked: "Brother, how to arrange it next." ”

"Eat, sleep, and march after noon." Chao Gai said.

At the same time, two carrier pigeons flew in the direction of Jeju, at noon after eating, Chao Gai made corresponding arrangements, only a hundred infantry were left in the copper mine and silver mine, but thousands of miners were distributed, Zheng Tianshou can organize defense and attack when necessary, you must know that Zheng Tianshou is not a literati, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has been a three-in-command in Qingfeng Mountain, and it is enough to lead the miners with martial arts.

Sun An and Ou Peng led their troops to defend Rizhao Port, and at the same time, the 200 infantry in the port were also transferred to the command of Sun Anbu.

Chao Gai led a cavalry team of 3,300 people to rush to Zhaoyuan, of which about 3,000 were recruits who could ride horses, but they could not be said to be qualified cavalry, at least they could not charge immediately.

This team did not carry any baggage at all, and there were arranged comptoirs along the road to be responsible for the forage raised. The light cavalry hurried quickly, and Chao Gai also fought hard, walking one hundred and fifty miles a day.

A few days later, the large team rushed to Zhaoyuan, and just met the three hundred cavalry led by Zhu Wu, Luan Tingyu, and Yang Zhi.

The two armies and horses were even larger, and the cavalry team of thousands of people was mighty.

Luan Tingyu said: "When are we going to attack?" ”

Chao Gai said: "It's only fifty miles away from the Lujia Gold Mine, when do you think it's appropriate to attack?" ”

Zhu Wudao: "Where is the lifeblood of the Lu family of gold ore, according to intelligence, there are at least seven hundred iron guards, many kinds of conventional weapons including crossbow arrows, and low walls to rely on, although we are outnumbered, but there are no siege weapons, so I suggest that the enemy should not be prepared, and launch a surprise attack after four hours." ”

Luan Tingyu said: "The raid can reduce casualties, and it is just right at night. ”

"The Sprinkle family also agrees with this point of view, it would be better if they could send someone in advance." Yang Zhi said.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and it would take two hours to rush over, and Chao Gai immediately said: "Go ten miles to eat and rest." ”

The team marched for more than ten miles, and found a forest to rest, when the horses ate and the people ate, and everything was going on quietly, and the big guys were gnawing dry food, and there was no fire.

Lu family Zhaoyuan gold ore has a history of hundreds of years, it was just a small workshop-style gold mine, to 20 years ago, Lu Jiapan attached to the central government, the scale of the gold mine has grown by leaps and bounds, a valley, tens of thousands of acres of scale, with 3,000 miners, 700 guards, Lu Dagongzi guards this place. This gold mine produces tens of thousands of catties of gold every year, which can really be described as a mountain of gold, and the Lu family's wages for miners' expenses are extremely low, so the profits are quite high. The Lu family, which has a huge gold mine, is also very eye-catching, and there are several bandits who have fought gold mines for decades, but all of them are bleeding, and the combat effectiveness of the iron guard is very strong, far from being comparable to the bandits.

Chao Gai led the team to a place ten miles away from the gold mine, stopped, and the sentry came to report that five miles ahead was the gold mine iron guard of fifty men, equipped with a strong crossbow.

Luan Tingyu said: "This equipment is advanced enough. ”

Chao Gai said: "I had no intention of being an enemy of the Lu family, but the Lu family was aggressive, let them see what it means to fight." Where is Luo Yun? ”

"Yes." Luo Yun is out of the ranks.

Chao Gai ordered: "Lead a team of fifty people to sneak up on the past, kill the sentry post along the way, and then send someone to inform us." ”

Luo Yun said: "Yes." With that, Luo Yun dismounted, waved his hand, and led fifty people to disappear into the mountains on foot.

Although there were fifty sentry posts, there were only a dozen people on duty, and the rest were resting in the house. Luo Yun led people to lurk over, and aimed with crossbow arrows from the grass next to them, Luo Yun waved his hand, more than a dozen arrows were shot, and more than a dozen iron guards on duty were shot by arrows in their necks, and they died before they even screamed, and the sound of falling caused the people in the house to ask: "Who fell." ”

"The little third son is walking on his feet." Luo Yun replied. But the iron guard in the house was very shrewd, and when he heard that something was wrong, he drew his knife and came out, but it was too late, crossbow arrows rained in from the window and doorway, and the iron guard who was about to rush out was suddenly killed and wounded, and several good iron guards used the corpses of their companions to block the arrows, Luo Yun led people to kill them directly, with spears in hand, and named the remaining few people. The people who were shot and killed also made up for a knife, if it wasn't Luo Yun's cruelty, this was war, and the kindness to the enemy was cruel to oneself.

The largest outpost is finished, the rest is easy to do, there are a few small outposts in front, three or five people, for the pro-soldiers who have undergone special forces training, this is just a small meaning, when they came to the door, they were still careless, the iron guards were elite after all, and several big wolf dogs inside barked wildly, and the iron guards blew the whistle when they saw a group of soldiers who had not seen it outside.

Luo Yun scolded: "It's almost the last point of failure, send a signal, let's attack." ”

"Yes." Some soldiers immediately took out fireworks and lit them, and signal flares exploded in the air.

Over there, Luo Yun had already begun to attack, and the two sides were looking for cover for each other, and crossbow arrows were shooting at each other. There was a squad leader who took out five bamboo tubes, which were only half a foot long, and the leads were all screwed together, and they were ignited, and when the leads burned for a while, they were thrown towards the gold mine gatehouse, boom, with a loud bang.

The resistance inside was suddenly gone, and no bows and arrows flew out, Luo Yun waved his hand and shouted: "Up, occupy the courtyard wall." ”

Dozens of people climbed the wall, this gold mine is really willing to go down, although the wall is only three meters high, but it is very thick, there are stones on both sides, there can be more than meters, the gatehouse is still an arrow tower, but let the bamboo tube just now stunned the people inside.

The soldiers went up and cut it down directly with the Yanling knife, and the crossbow of the god arm was aimed in, and at this time the iron guards inside had begun to rush towards the door, and the first to come was the size of a hundred-man team, wearing heavy armor and holding a machete. Especially the strong cuirass can't even shoot through the small god arm crossbow, if the average soldier encounters such a heavy infantry, he will be dumbfounded, Luo Yun calmly shouted for the soldiers to stabilize, and waited until the iron guard entered the range of thirty meters before aiming at the face door design, this distance is very accurate to shoot, poof, poof, the sound of bows and arrows shooting through the face door sounded in all directions, and dozens of charging iron guards fell in an instant.

The rest of the guards are gone, what is the situation, where is there such an accurate bow and arrow.

"Stop, wait for the back." One of the Iron Guard leaders ordered everyone to stop, and since they were heavy infantry and did not even have a shield, they had to take the corpses of their dead comrades as cover. They stopped and didn't attack, and Luo Yun didn't order the arrows, so the two sides were deadlocked. Soon the iron guard inside came, taking the small round shield. Luo Yun shot a crossbow arrow, poof, shot through.

At this time, one of the leaders of the Iron Guard arrived, who should be the direct family of the Lu family, and asked: "Which road are you friends on, is there any misunderstanding, the Lu family treats friends on the rivers and lakes very warmly, if there is no food in Guishan, we can all discuss, there is no need to use knives and guns."

When Luo Yun heard this, the other party had put his fifty people as bandits, and he was just waiting for the rear team. Luo Yun said: "We are good men who hold calves, and there is plenty of grain and grass in the mountains. ”

"Since there is enough grain and grass, why did you come to the Lujia Gold Mine?"

Luo Yun said: "When our big boss was eating in Yizhou, the third son of your Lu family rubbed his spirit, as long as you Lu Sangongzi came out and kowtowed and confessed, we will leave immediately." ”

The leader of the Iron Guard said: "Good man, wronged." Although it is the same Lu family, the gold mine belongs to the eldest prince of Lu, and there is no share of the third prince here, you are in the wrong place. ”

Luo Yun pretended to be a scoundrel and said: "Then I don't care, it's your Lu family anyway, it doesn't matter if the third prince is not there, we will leave immediately if we get dozens of catties of gold." ”

"Oh, I'm still here for the gold, I'm afraid your teeth aren't hard enough." At this time, the reinforcements of the Iron Guard had been assembled, and hundreds of infantry came over with large shields and began to prepare for a strong attack.

Luo Yun also laughed at this time, and a whining horn sounded behind him, and the shocking horn sounded, and thousands of iron hooves trampled on the earth and raised smoke and dust in the sky.

Chao Gai, Luan Tingyu, Yang Zhi and others led five hundred cavalry to charge at the front. Later, Jiao Ting led 3,000 recruits, dismounted when he rode to the door, and rushed in with a Yanling knife.

When I went in, Chao Gai was also startled, ironclad heavy infantry, but not for long.

The cavalrymen did not charge, but ran through the spurs, and the feathered arrows were fired indiscriminately, but the effect was not good.

Chao Gai shouted: "Change the Molotov cocktail." ”

What is a Molotov cocktail, it's the same size as a beer bottle, it's a crude petroleum diesel oil, and the bottle is broken when it's thrown over, followed by a torch, no matter how good the armor is, it's not afraid of fire, this has been tested countless times, and a few places are on fire, and the formation is all out of order. Chao Gai painted a halberd and pointed at it, rushing.

Chao Gai was in the center, Luan Tingyu on the right wing, Yang Zhi on the left, and the wolf-like cavalry charged in, Chao Gai first drew a halberd and picked up several people in a row, and the cavalry behind him was not a cavalry knife, nor a spear, but a mace, a mace of one meter and five long, weighing more than a dozen catties, smashed over on the galloping horse, even if the armor was good, it had to be injured.

Not to mention the two wings, Luan Tingyu has not contributed since he called the Jeju army, and Yang Zhi is also deliberately behaving and brave and confused. Five or six hundred iron guards crumbled under the onslaught of five hundred cavalry.
