The leader of the escort team did not expect to be attacked in the hinterland of this country, they came from the south and did not receive the news that the enemy army had entered, and his brain, who was still annoyed by the escape of the slaves last night, instantly short-circuited, knowing that it was an enemy attack after ten seconds.

"Brothers, catch up!" When he finished shouting these words and took the lead in rushing forward, he thought that the enemy's black group was obviously several times more numerous than his own, and that it was not as well-equipped as a rabble, and at this moment, after a fierce ideological struggle, he issued another diametrically opposite order: "Retreat!" Hurry back! Before his subordinates could react, the "good" commander took the lead and ran backwards.

Before his clumsy performance could end, the cavalry that had come out from behind the mountain was instantly outflanked behind him. The general trend has gone, and in the face of the enemy's absolute superiority, this group of soldiers of the Ryukyu Nanshan Kingdom is helpless. Seeing the opportunity, the soldiers threw down their weapons directly, you can't expect a slave escort to have any courage and audacity to fight against the odds, and surrender has become their best option.

When Li Yang appeared at the front of the line with the previous slave captives, the soldiers of the escort team couldn't help but look dead, they couldn't imagine that a runaway slave would bring them such a big trouble; The slaves let out a burst of exclamation.

"Tell them that if they don't want to be slaves anymore, pick up their inferior weapons and join us." Li Yang said.

When the slaves with blue and white faces heard the words of the translator, they almost all quickly searched for the weapons discarded by the escort team on the ground, and the faces of those who did not get the weapons were depressed, and some of the people who got the weapons directly cut the thorns on the captured escort soldiers.

"Stop!" Li Yang stopped this senseless killing, and told the guide to read Miyako Island's system of slaves to these slaves, but he didn't expect these slaves to be very comfortable with the fate of becoming slave soldiers, for them it is much better to fight than to become slaves, but Li Yang did not dare to use them too confidently, although some of them were soldier slaves, but they had not undergone formal training and were natives of Ryukyu Island, and they would face their country and nation in the future, so let them take on auxiliary work for the time being.

In the end, these 300 people were newly organized into a flower noodle battalion, which was easy to identify, and all the people with tattoos on their faces were flower noodle battalion people.

"Where are you going to escort the slaves?" Next, Li Yang wanted to ask the captives about the basic situation.

"They are the coolies needed by Nanshan City, respected and brave adults, and we have been ordered to escort him to Nanshan City." The platoon commander of the escort team replied.

Since this was the case, and there was not much effort to study how many lies and truths there were in the words of this captive, Li Yang waved his army and rushed to Nanshan City.

"Island owner, these soldiers of the Flower Noodle Battalion said that they were looking for you, but even I refused to say it, it's true." Wang Hu walked up to Li Yang with a few soldiers with tattoos on their faces, and Li Yang's guards also raised their vigilance, after all, the loyalty of these newly recruited fierce soldiers was still worth testing.

With the words of the translator, Li Yang understood the meaning of this group of Xinna soldiers. It turned out that along the way, these people could understand some of the local language of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and faintly heard the escort soldiers talking about coolies, mining, gold mines, and other words, they thought that they would be sent to the mining area, but later heard that the prisoners' confession was to transport them to Nanshan Castle, and several people felt that there was a problem, so they came to report the situation to Li Yang.

It seems that at least for now, the hearts of these Zhongshan soldiers are still on the side of Miyakojima, and the information they provide is also very important, after all, if it is some inconsequential matter, those captives conceal it, and Li Yang can't investigate them one by one, but the word gold mine appears, this matter has to be studied deeply, even if it cannot be occupied at the first time because of the strategic order, it is necessary to figure out the situation of the gold mine.

The crowd was ready to serve the dishonest captives.

Li Yang commanded, and immediately someone set up a pot, and the fire was boiling, but after a while, the water in the pot boiled, and there were white gases.

"You didn't tell the truth before, it seems that it was because we didn't treat you well, so you feel neglected?" Li Yang said coldly, although mercy is his consistent performance in this era, he has also learned to be cruel to the enemy.

Without Li Yang's next order, two soldiers grabbed a prisoner and directly pressed his hands into the boiling water, and the prisoner immediately let out a heart-rending scream, his hands and feet continued to struggle, and immediately two more people came up and grabbed his feet, and the prisoner could only twitch all over his body.

After a while, the executioner took his hand out of the pot, and saw that the entire palm of his hand had been boiled red, and the blisters floated from the skin of the hand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the air was filled with a strange smell of boiled meat.

"Next." Li Yang said in a toneless tone.

The firing squad walked into the crowd, and the person who was about to be dragged out was the platoon leader of the escort team, which was also ordered by Li Yang, to kill the chicken first and show it to the monkeys.

Sure enough, the platoon leader had just been dragged out of the crowd, and immediately howled like a pig: "Don't! Other! I said, they're going to be sent to the gold mines! Leave me alone! ”

"What gold mines? Where is it? Li Yang asked quickly.

"It's only a day's journey to the north, it's newly discovered, it doesn't have a name yet, don't kill me, I can lead the way." The platoon leader collapsed at Li Yang's feet like a slug. Not to mention that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, they do not have firm beliefs, and even Li Yang himself is not sure if he can remain calm and calm in the face of torture.

If you go north, you may be delayed by a day, and it is really difficult to choose.

"Owner, I think we can send fast riders forward, and we should be able to get the news tomorrow." Wang Hu suggested. He thought this because since the newly discovered minerals were not even equipped with slaves, there must not be many garrisons, or even none, and the cavalry of the platoon could go over to investigate, and if they couldn't fight, they could leave.

Li Yang only thought about it and agreed to send a platoon of cavalry to the gold mine, and a group of sixty cavalrymen held the captured platoon commander of the escort team hostage, broke away from the large army and rushed to the north.

The leader of the team was Li Liang, a Dakang man from a fishing village, who was only 17 years old and was also a veteran, and knew that this time the responsibility was heavy, and he knew very well what gold meant to every regime and every individual.

The speed of the horse was more than twice as fast as the march on foot. Before sunset, they arrived at this place called Wicker Stream.

"That's the front."

Li Liang took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to see a stream left in a cave on the opposite mountain, and it was difficult for a gold mine to hide in the mountain.
