"Very good, let's go!" As soon as Eugen gave the order, Simon took the lead and walked forward, and thirty young soldiers lined up in two rows, following Simon.

Eugen also set off with him, and in this mission, only thirty soldiers of the Dragon Warriors participated in the operation, and all the other city guards were stationed in the city of Lebour.

They had already conducted some reconnaissance before, and after Tariq had captured a few mines, he was left with just over a hundred soldiers on the road.

Tariq probably thought that the city of Lebor did not dare to send troops, so he did not take much precautions.

With thirty dragon soldiers against one hundred ordinary soldiers, Eugen had full confidence, and besides, they were still the attackers, holding the initiative.

In order to move quickly, Eugen also equipped each soldier with a war horse, a highly mobile war horse, and a new musket with strong long-range lethality, which further improved the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Warrior Army.

Although Simon has been appointed as the commander of the corps, the main commander of this operation is Eugen, who is familiar with the use of the new musket, and he must first demonstrate to Simon the commander how to use the modern army to fight, and then he can trust the army to him.

After Eugen and his troops left, Margarita began to arrange for the transportation of pig iron, and after the iron ore was dug up in the mine, the iron ore had to be smelted into pig iron through several processes.

That is to say, each mine will have a certain reserve of pig iron, and all they have to do is to send a large number of people to transport pig iron on this route after Eugen opens the road, and transport as much pig iron from those mines as possible to Lepol City.

From Eugen's victory in the battle to Tariq's mobilization of troops to counterattack, there were at least two to three days of buffers during this period, and they had to seize this short period of time to grab a batch of resources into their own hands first.

To this end, Margaret gathered a large number of laborers in the city of Leball, collected hundreds of carts, and asked them to be ready at any time, and when the news came from Eugen's side, they began to transport pig iron and other resources.

After the thirty soldiers of the Longxiang Army left the city of Lyber, they galloped directly along the avenue due north, and more than fifty miles north of the city of Lyber, there were two large iron mines, and Tariq's soldiers were stationed in the mines.

Knowing that only a few of them set out to fight in this operation, these soldiers of the Longxiang Army were a little apprehensive in their hearts, after all, there were hundreds of people on the other side, and it looked like they were going to hit a stone with an egg.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Eugen is either crazy or doesn't want to live anymore, but obviously Eugen can't do this.

These soldiers of the Dragon Warriors have a kind of blind trust in Eugen, it is a hero, and it is also their lord, since the lords have gone out in person, it is certainly impossible for them ordinary soldiers to retreat.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, the soldiers of the Longxiang Army finally crossed a large area of mountainous hills and came to a small river near the mining area of Lebor City to rest for a while.

The surface of the river was covered with fine ice cubes, and the water vapor exhaled from the mouths of people and horses mixed together and dispersed into the air around them.

There is a mountain forest here, and the leaves on the trees have completely fallen, leaving only the bare branches pointing to the sky, and you can clearly see a round magpie nest on the branches.

They have a complete topographic map of the entire mining area, and from the map, the two mines are half-moon shaped, separated on the two hillsides, forming an open angle.

There was an open field in front of the corner, a small plain washed out by the flood, the plain was endless, there were no big trees or rocks to obscure it, and it was the middle of winter, and the earth was as hard as a concrete floor.

Eugen could see at a glance that the small plain was the perfect battlefield for them.

If this were a sneak attack, Eugen would have chosen another route, smashing into the mines through an unexpected opening, and dealing with a man who was caught off guard.

It's just that Eugen is not ready to sneak attack, what he wants to do is to completely defeat the opponent on the frontal battlefield.

The enemy did not know how powerful the new musket of the Longxiang Army was, and the soldiers of the Longxiang Army themselves did not have much confidence in the musket in their hands, what Eugen wanted was to establish a fearless sense of battle among the soldiers of the Longxiang Army through this battle, and also let them know the true power of the new musket.

When Eugen finished telling the battle plan, Simon was a little dumbfounded, he had received a good military education since he was a child, and he had seen many examples of the weak defeating the strong, but he had never seen Eugen's battle plan.

is obviously the weaker side, but he still has to choose to be tough with the other party, isn't this looking for death?

When he had doubts, Simon brought it up, and according to his idea, it was better to make a plan more steadily and make sure that nothing went wrong.

However, Eugen just smiled mysteriously and said to Simon: "It's okay, Your Excellency Commander Simon, you can take a good look, this time we will win." It just happened to let you see what kind of army the Longxiang army is, okay, don't talk about it anymore, go and give the other party a war letter. ”

Hearing Eugen say this, Simon didn't have anything to say, he just looked at Eugen with a wry smile, and then rode towards the mine.

Looking at the soldiers standing guard near the mine in front of him, Simon couldn't help but think helplessly: "This Lord Eugen is really, such a good opportunity not to sneak attack, is he here to give the other party a ransom?" ”

Simon didn't know much about Eugen, he had only heard about Eugen's deeds, and he admired his lord in his heart, but now this admiration had turned into a kind of contempt, and he even felt that Eugen was a child who didn't know how to fight, and this attack on the mine looked like a child's play.

In the middle of the two mines, there is a small military camp, in which the flag of Tariq is flying, and the soldiers under the banner are running around, carrying out their daily training.

In the center of the camp was a large tent, which covered an area of nearly 100 square meters, and there was a stove in each of the four corners, and the furnace burned red charcoal, and a wave of heat radiated from the furnace, spread around, and was bounced back by the thick sheepskin tent.

Outside the tent was a snowy winter weather, but inside the tent it was so warm that you couldn't feel the slightest chill even if you didn't wear clothes.

The three people who are currently in the tent are not clothed.

Izzard lay on his back on a thick bear skin, his chest hair as thick as a primeval jungle, his eyebrows and eyes similar to Tariq's, but he looked younger and had a hint of lewdness at the corners of his eyes.

There's a young girl next to him, rubbing his arms and arms with both hands, while Izzard is immersed in a dream with his eyes closed.
