Chapter 87

In the early morning of winter, the cold wind in the mountains, Chen Guang rode a horse on a wide avenue outside the city, and couldn't help but wrap his coat tightly. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info the road leading to the mine under his feet, and he planned to come here to have a look at the things in the city. Of course, Wu Yong was still followed by him.

Although the road is very wide, there are also a lot of gravel, which is not easy to walk, but fortunately, Chen Guang is not in a hurry, so he let the horse walk slowly.

"It's weird, I haven't heard of any iron ore here. Yes, they must have concealed it in order to create that armor, I have to say that this Wuhou is still very thoughtful, ignoring the existence of the Child of Light No. 2, such an army is simply invincible, especially with the strong war horse to charge, no one can resist it at all. ”

A minecart was pushed out of it, and several workers were wearing dirty clothes, they only cared about their own business, and they didn't mean to take care of Chen Guang at all.

Although the weather was cold, they were wearing only a thin undershirt, and despite this, they were sweating on their foreheads.

This is the lowest level of working people, in order to support the upper class like Chen Guang.

Of course, the people at the top also have things to do with the people at the top, and it can only be said that everyone is doing their own duties, and if you let the leaders of the country go to farm, then who will govern the country?

Chen Guang will not have any feelings about such a scene, all walks of life need someone to do it, mining is a profession, and being an emperor is also a profession.

After walking a short distance, I saw the entrance of a cave, which was very huge, and the entrance of the cave alone was at least five or six people high, and it seemed that the scale of this place was really not small.

There was a gust of wind blowing inside, even colder than the cold wind blowing outside, and Chen Guang couldn't help but think of the cave with a fox statue he had met last time.

"It looks like it's been mined for a long time." Chen Guang said to Wu Yong. Judging from the surrounding stones, the age is quite old.

"I didn't expect this guy to hide so deeply, you said that Wuhou is so old, why are you working so hard to do this? I'm glad I killed his grandson, I think these things of his are to be left to his grandson, not to mention that if he waits twenty years, when his grandson grows up, or this team grows, his heavy cavalry will be invincible. ”

It's like the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, why it was able to take the world by storm in the first place is because of his unique tactics and something that transcended the times at that time. Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries the same way, the strength of Qin at that time was not the strongest among the seven countries, and even the middle could not go up, but in the end he still dominated the world, the most famous invention may be his chariot, and the two-zhang long chariot spear, the carriage charged with the soldiers, and the soldiers' two-zhang big spears were invincible.

The heavy cavalry was Wuhou's secret weapon, and if it was an army, it would definitely be able to sweep the world - but now it was a thing of the past - at least Chen Guang thought so.

"Is there someone here to take over?" When he was about to reach the entrance, Chen Guang suddenly asked.

Wu Yong thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem to be." ”

Chen Guang remembered his iron pot, so he commanded; "Then send someone to guard this place, the iron ore is very important to us. Since there is an iron ore mine here, we can use local materials and make this a steel base for us. Whether it's making the Child of Light II or the Swords, Guns and Swords, the demand for steel is huge, and it's a very important resource. The only purpose of all wars is to seize resources, you have to understand that. ”

Although he didn't seem to understand much when he looked at that expression, Chen Guang was still very relieved to see that Wu Yong had promised, whether he understood it or not, but at least he would do his best to do it if he agreed, there was no doubt about it.

Chen Guang dismounted, handed the reins to Wu Yong, and said to Wu Yong; "Wait for me here, I'll go in and have a look."

There are many people working with you inside, and they are a little curious when they see Chen Guang and them, but at most, they just glance at Chen Guang, and then go to do their own thing.

Chen Guang walked around inside, asked someone about the iron mine, got some answers, and then came up again - it was too cold inside, and the cold wind made Chen Guang feel very uncomfortable.

Then they returned to the city, and Chen Guang went to see the workshop of forging iron tools, the workshop here is very large, even larger than the weapons supervisor in the capital, which shows how long this Wuhou has been working on this area, presumably after the founding of the country, even before the founding of the country, he has been working on this matter.

Of course, now all of this belongs to Chen Guang.

A few days later, more Children of Light II had already arrived in this kind of city, and Chen Guang was about to prepare to attack the next city.

At the same time, in the distant county of Wu, the team sent to ask for help had just arrived.

"Urgent report, urgent report......" Wu Cheng was sitting in his position listening to the report below, when he saw a person hurriedly coming in, he suddenly felt very unhappy, and said, "What is so panicked?" ”

The man knelt on the ground all of a sudden and said, "Your Royal Highness Wuhou, the Black Iron City has been taken by the imperial court, and the City Lord Liu has also had his head cut off. ”

"What?" It was not Wuhou who spoke, but a military general standing next to Wuhou, who was sent by Liu Moulai to ask Wuhou for help.

Wu Cheng turned his head to look at him, and the general suddenly realized that he had done something wrong, and quickly knelt on the ground to plead guilty; "Wuhou is angry, and the little one can't help it."

After all, he had just arrived here yesterday, and it had only been a day before he learned that the city had been destroyed, and the shock in his heart could be imagined.

In the history of defending the city, the longest has been defended for several years, and the most poor rely on the hard city wall, so it shouldn't be a problem to support it for a month or two months, but it's only been a few days, and it was actually broken, can he not be shocked?

Wu Cheng said lightly; "Tell me, what's going on?"

Of course, he didn't believe that the imperial court could take a city in such a short time, but the facts were in front of him, and he had to believe it, and now he wanted to know the reason, so as to find a way to deal with it.

So this person explained how the prince sneaked into the city and killed Liu Moulai, and then how the other people surrendered, and how they opened the door to bring the people of the court into the city. (To be continued.) )
