Chapter 022: Sneak Attack

(The war scene is coming, help recommend tickets...... )

Everything is really as predicted by Mitong, and in the next few days, the market price of this limestone has soared all the way, and it has more than doubled compared to the price before Mitong fired the limestone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When people knew that spraying this limestone could suppress the spread of the plague, they no longer needed to promote it, and people sprayed some ...... in their homes, yards, and surroundings

At the beginning, Mitong was free to distribute to various cities, and due to the limitation of manpower, it took at least four or five days for each city to allocate a batch; Now that the market price of limestone has risen and the plague has eased, Mitong has increased the control of the proportion of limestone supplied; In order to prevent someone from filling their pockets and making a windfall in secret, and Hongsheng and others are still hanging three feet on this limestone, how can they not guard against it.

Once the supply chain of Mitong shrinks, but the demand is increasing, it immediately makes this rare thing in demand. Every day before dawn, there are many ministers, doctors, and guest secretaries waiting in the small kiln factory where limestone is burned.

Fortunately, in addition to sending special personnel to some places where the plague is still more serious for free delivery, for those rich doctors, guest kings and the like, all need to exchange shell coins and gold coins, which can be regarded as a small windfall.

The weather was good on this day, and Mi Tong ordered the people to fire a little more than usual, and it was not until late at night that the pit kiln where the limestone was fired slowly cooled down. By the time the day's homework was done, it was pitch black outside, with only a few dots of starlight reflected through the trees.

When Mi Tong was about to order his subordinates to rest, he heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves coming from far and near, very urgently. Mi Tong was still frowning and puzzled, so he heard the sentry rushing over, and said: "Report, Qi Yu Gongzi, there are a large number of unknown people around this mountain, equipped with war horses and weapons, and the number is above ours. At this moment, I am coming to this mountain, please make a decision quickly. ”

Mi Tong thought: This is near the capital of Chu State, where can the enemy army come from? I think there are always people who covet limestone, so they come to rob the house, maybe it's still someone they know well? But that's a lot of courage for you!

But at the moment, I can't take care of a lot, now that I am surrounded on all sides, the road is dangerous in the dark, and I will definitely not get any benefits if I break through the siege. It's just that now there are only forty or fifty soldiers around him, plus some slave laborers who burn lime, and there are only more than one hundred and thirty people when he is full. It's a pity that he doesn't know how to command battles and doesn't know martial arts......

Alas, I only sigh that Wu Feng is on duty at the palace gate today, otherwise with him here, why worry about these Mao soldiers and thieves?

But now it is useless to think about this, only to send men, according to the danger, until dawn, there will be a large number of people who come to buy limestone, these thieves will leave automatically......

Thinking about the entourage around the formation, he said: "The order is given, and all the personnel will shrink to within a hundred steps of the cave and occupy the dangerous pass; Every group of five people is to defend against the danger, and not let one enemy rush up. Second, all the house slaves were given weapons, and if they did not have weapons, they could use stones, sticks, limestone, and everything that could harm the enemy. Third, tell everyone that as long as they go through this battle, all those who are still alive tomorrow will be rewarded. Domestic slaves can be relieved of their slave status, promoted to commoners, and assigned their son Jingshan fiefdom to cultivate; All the family soldiers, all promoted to the rank of captain, gave a string of shell coins. ”

"Ho! Ho! Ho! ”

As soon as this order was transmitted, all the domestic soldiers and domestic slaves were immediately excited, especially those domestic slaves, who had been slaves for generations, and had the luxury of hoping that one day they would get out of slavery, which was an opportunity that had not been had for thousands of years. After listening to this, Lian scrambled to pick up the tools for burning lime on weekdays, and in groups of five people, he followed the soldiers behind the guards.

Mi Tong also raised the Spring and Autumn Golden Sword he was wearing, and hid behind a big rock. Just before he could hide, he heard the sound of a rain of arrows in the sky.

"Ahh Yes! Ah......" screams again and again, obviously someone was hit by an arrow, but the light was not good at this time, and I didn't know the specific casualties.

"Ho! Come on! "For a moment, the sound of shouting and killing came from the bottom of the mountain, mixed with the sound of horses' hooves.

Mi Tong deviated from the stone and glanced down the mountain, only to see that countless torches had been reflected brightly under the mountain, and the war horses were galloping, and the mountain had rushed to the mountain in the past.

Mi Tong hurriedly waved his hand to the entourage beside him, and the entourage immediately understood, and hurriedly gave orders to the surroundings. I saw that the slave workers threw out all the stones and lime that had been prepared for the realization.

Fortunately, they occupied a favorable terrain, and the stones were rolling down the mountain, only faster and faster, and the force of the impact was getting stronger and stronger. For a while, I saw the fire under the mountain turning people on their backs and screaming again and again.

However, there were a large number of torches under the mountain, and there were always some fish that had escaped the net, and the soldiers hiding behind the stones immediately attacked, firing their bows left and right, and immediately rolled on the ground to kill the enemy who was about to attack.

After holding out like this for about half an hour, the physical strength of both sides was exhausted, and those who attacked secretly withdrew their troops and retreated down the mountain.

Mi Tong looked at the retreating thieves and exhaled two breaths. It's just that after this group of thieves retreated to the bottom of the mountain, they did not disperse, but continued to maintain the momentum of encirclement, sorting out the soldiers and horses!

Mi Tong looked at it and frowned, this group of thieves is not an ordinary thief, but well-trained and well-equipped. And looking at the troops and horses under the mountain, it seems that they are also prepared, and they have the meaning of not giving up.

"Ho! Ho! Ho! ”

Before Mi Tong could rest, Yamashita had already launched a second round of impact. This time, the thieves have deleted the shield soldiers and changed them all to cavalry impacts, probably because they also saw that Mitong was not equipped with archers, so they were relieved to boldly ride their horses and rush up. After all, the impact power of cavalry is not comparable to that of ordinary troops.

"Kill!"

For a while, there was another shout of killing, and the distance of the thief's impact this time was much longer. Directly forced in front of Mi Tong. Mi Tong couldn't do it, so he had to kill indiscriminately. To be precise, this is the first time that Mi Tong has seen this kind of formation, and the people who have traveled through in later generations have never seen this kind of scene. At the beginning of the war before, Mi Tong was actually a little calm, but when he saw the corpses all over the ground, his face was really pale. Fortunately, Mi Tong is still burly, with a strong waist, half a head taller than ordinary people, and in this one-on-one competition, he will not suffer immediately; Moreover, there are always four or five family soldiers with slightly higher force around Mi Tong, in short, they are trying to protect him at critical moments.

After a while, more and more thieves rushed up, and Mi Tong suddenly felt more and more difficult, so he had to fight and retreat.

Fortunately, when these thieves rushed to the position of Mitong, the war horse had already been knocked down by some tripping ropes and other things, and at this time it was also an infantry form of battle, otherwise how could Mitong respond to the enemy?

At this time, two of the best thieves caught up with him and gave him a series of knives, forcing him to dodge.

The sound of powerful arrows sounded, and Mi Tong no longer had time to care about the thief in front of him, so he hurriedly turned around and flashed behind the stone.

"Bang bang!"

There were two muffled sounds, and the arrows flew directly against the edges and corners of the stone, knocking out a spark.

However, the danger did not end there, for the two thieves had already pursued them.

The two knives slashed vertically at the same time, and Mi Tong only got the sword grid.

"Bang!" There was another muffled thud.

Mi Tong only felt severe pain in the tiger's mouth and numbness in his arms.

This is the disadvantage of not practicing martial arts, it seems that in this world of great controversy, if you don't practice martial arts, it will be a great loss.

At this moment, another thief with a spear stabbed straight at Mitong.

Mi Tong had no choice but to watch the spear stab into his abdomen.

But when he shouted that my life was at stake, a soldier next to him jumped forward and cut off the spear that was stabbing at Mi Tong.
