The miners' camp is located at the foot of the mine, consisting of hundreds of dilapidated tents, the environment is very dirty, muddy on rainy days, dusty on sunny days, and not far from the miners' camp is the military camp, garrisoned by 500 people, guarding the only access to the mine.

However, this passage was only a way for ox carts and mule carts to enter and exit, and if the miners wanted to escape, they could also go over the mountain, so the army built ten guard towers around the mine, and the sentinels monitored the miners' every move from all directions.

In the past few days, the spring rain has continued, and the mine has been forced to stop work for three days, and the miners are resting and sleeping in the camp, enjoying the leisure of the rainy day, although the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, but the miners still like the rainy day the most.

In one of the tents, Du Fuwei was leading a dozen of his men to threaten several prisoners of war who refused to give in.

After the surrender of the Tang Dynasty, Du Fuwei changed a lot, he used to be dark and thin, with sharp eyes and high spirits.

But in the Tang Dynasty, the pampered life made him white and fat, and he also grew a long beard, and his eyes were not as sharp as before, a little less firm, a little more vicious, although his appearance changed greatly, most of the prisoners of war still recognized him, and when he appeared among the miners, everyone was amazed and still honored him as General Du.

Soon, this General Du made everyone start to face the most difficult choice of their lives.

"General, my mother is old, and there are two children at home, and my wife farms alone to support her, let me go! I promise not to say anything, let me go home! Please, General. ”

A man in his thirties knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly, he was a general under Du Fuwei, and now he was one of Du Fuwei's key targets, and this was the third time that Du Fuwei forced him to participate in the uprising.

How could Du Fuwei be moved by his pleading, he smiled and said: "Join my army, you will get thousands of taels of gold, tens of thousands of acres of land, your mother, wife and children can enjoy the glory and wealth, you can also marry a three-room concubine, enjoy the blessings of all the people, don't wait long, we capture Qichun County, I will give you a big family, the beautiful women in it can be played with by you, you can move the gold and silver treasures and silk silk in the treasury, the servants and maids belong to you, you can use a luxury carriage to transport the money and beauty back to your hometown, At that time, what kind of land do you need to plant in your yellow-faced woman, just wear gold and silver! ”

This man has experienced three years of miner career, how can he believe Du Fuwei's words again, even if he succeeds for a while, when the Sui army arrives, he will definitely die without a place to be buried, and his wife, children and mother will be affected.

He was unmoved, still kowtowing and begging: "General, my mother is already dying, let me go home and see her again!" I have a letter here, which I can prove. ”

The man took out the letter from his arms and held it to Du Fuwei with both hands, "This letter can be proved!" ”

Du Fuwei was furious, slapped the letter in his hand and flew away, and angrily ordered left and right: "Drag him down and beat him again, when to agree, when to spare him, if you don't agree, you will be killed directly." ”

Several wolf-like subordinates rushed forward and put the man down, the man begged loudly, the voice gradually faded away, Du Fuwei was really annoyed, and shouted: "Take the next one!" ”

At this time, one of his subordinates stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, Du Fuwei nodded, and said to Wu Xiaochong, the deputy general next to him: "You continue to interrogate, I will come when I go." ”

Du Fuwei turned around and walked outside the big tent, he walked into a big tent next to him, Han Huang, who was waiting for him, immediately stood up, stepped forward and saluted: "See the general!" ”

"How is it, have you seen Zheng Shanguo?"

"Returning to the general, I saw him in my humble position, and made three requests to him according to the general's instructions."

"And what did he say?"

"He didn't agree to the first request, he said that he had no right to transfer troops, and he agreed to the second and third, he said that he was going to send someone to Jiangxia to get weapons, and the weapons would be delivered to the general within seven days."

"It's going to take seven days!"

Du Fuwei frowned, seven days was too long, he was a little worried that the night was long and dreamy, and if the defenders discovered their attempt, the consequences would be a little unimaginable.

Du Fuwei took a few steps with his hands in his hands, silently calculating their existing weapons in his heart, this time he brought more than 100 people to sneak into the mine, each carrying three war knives, he could already arm 300 soldiers, plus tools such as crowbars and shovels used in mining, in fact, there were already more than 1,000 people who could participate in the battle, if they used the method of night attack or even fire attack, it should not be a big problem to kill the 500 defenders, and it was not necessarily necessary to wait for the weapons of Jiangxia County.

Of course, with the weapons of Jiangxia County, they can attack Qichun County, and Li Yuan promised himself that after he captured Qichun County, he would immediately provide him with 10,000 weapons and equipment, Du Fuwei was already a little impatient, he immediately made up his mind to kill five hundred defenders within three days.

That night, Du Fuwei convened more than ten backbones to discuss how to attack the defenders, in the big tent, Du Fuwei said to everyone: "Originally, I considered attacking with fire, but it rained for days, I am afraid that the fire attack will not be effective, I can only change other means, I have two plans you can consider, one is to make a feint to make trouble, lure a group of defenders to suppress, and then we kill them, the second is to attack the military camp at night, while they are asleep, kill it, everyone talk about it!" Which method is better, or if there is a better way, can also be proposed. ”

Han Huang, who was sitting on the side, said: "The method of luring the Sui army to come by making trouble may not be too good. ”

"Why?" Du Fuwei asked puzzled.

"Last year, there was also a fight between factions, there was a big fight, and as a result, the defenders only came fifty people and suppressed it, and the dozen or so people who led the fight were taken away and never came back, I mean, the defenders will not come much, we will kill these people but will startle the snake, I think it is a good way to attack the barracks at night."

Seeing that most of the people supported the night attack, Du Fuwei nodded and said: "Then it is decided, the time is set for the third watch tomorrow night, and we will attack the defender's camp at night." ”

.........

Many things are not as good as the plan, just when Du Fuwei carefully selected 800 people to prepare for the night attack on the defenders' barracks, an unexpected change happened.

At dusk, one of the men sent to monitor the garrison camp rushed back and reported to Duvowe, "General, we have found the defenders massing"

Du Fuwei was startled, and hurriedly walked to a small forest in the southeast of the labor camp with a dozen of his men, and the movement of the barracks could be seen on the big tree. ”

"How many people left? Where did it go? Du Fuwei asked urgently.

"It's as if everybody is leaving, heading east."

Du Fuwei was really surprised by this news, and after a moment's thought, he turned around and ordered: "The brothers of the first battalion are gathered at once, and come with me to the barracks to have a look." ”

There were 300 people in the first battalion, all of them were equipped with the sabers brought by Du Fuwei, and they were the most effective group of laborers, and they were also the main force of the night attack on the barracks tonight, and in a short time, more than 300 people followed Du Fuwei to the barracks.

Sure enough, as the sentries saw, the barracks was already an empty camp, the gate was opened, and there was no figure in sight, Du Fuwei waved his hand, and three hundred soldiers went separately to search the various camp tents, Du Fuwei broke into the Du Lieutenant's tent, which was the main tent of the military camp, which was full of discarded items, bedding, clothes, tea sets, dishes and chopsticks, etc., it can be seen that the Sui army retreated in a hurry, as if there was an emergency.

Du Fuwei had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, it was likely that the Sui army had noticed something, or someone had told the Sui army, so the Sui army retreated in a hurry.

But what puzzled Du Fuwei was that if the defenders learned that the laborers were going to rebel, they should have immediately killed the labor camp and suppressed the rebellion.

It was this that puzzled Duvowe, and at this time, a soldier rushed to him and said, "The general had better come and take a look, we have found something good." ”

Du Fuwei hurriedly followed the soldiers to the back tent, which was the warehouse tent of the barracks, where the laborers' food and various tools were piled up, especially the iron crowbar, which was taken away every morning and handed back at the end of the evening, guarded by the army, and not a single one was allowed to be missing.

There were bags and bags of grain in the big tent, stacked neatly, as many as thousands of stones, but to Du Fuwei's surprise, it was not the grain, but the other two big tents were full of spare pig iron tools, and there were thousands of iron crowbars alone, and an iron crowbar was not a knife.

Du Fuwei was surprised and delighted, and slapped his forehead heavily, this is God favoring his success in raising troops!

At this moment, Du Fuwei no longer cared about the doubts of the Sui soldiers suddenly withdrawing, there was no choice but to continue walking, Du Fuwei immediately ordered: "Build a furnace and start building weapons!" (To be continued.) )
