Chapter 348: Cheng Bites Jin and Mi Fang
In Donglai County on the Jiaodong Peninsula, a group of special talents, miners, and strangers who have mastered exploration skills came here to explore gold mines under the orders of Xuzhou Mu.
Donglai County is located on the coast of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, and it is not very famous in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the only thing players know is Donglai Tai Shici. But since the Song and Yuan dynasties, the gold mines of Donglai County have occupied a pivotal position.
The local talents of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not know the location of the gold mines in Donglai County, so Chutian arranged for strangers who were familiar with geology and minerals to assist the miners in finding the Jiaodong gold mines.
"Lord" is not necessarily the same as the real world, and Chu Tian is not sure that he can send an exploration team to find the Jiaodong gold mine in Donglai County.
The exploration team explored Donglai County for several months, exploring the location according to the impression of the Inhuman.
The Fubo Army completely pacified Donglai County under the command of Zheng Zhilong.
He was stationed in Huang County, the seat of Donglai County, to suppress possible rebellions and to eliminate bandits and bandits in Donglai County.
"General, the exploration team has discovered gold deposits in the area of Qucheng County, this is a secret letter from the exploration team, requesting that it be transferred to the Xia City Lord's Mansion!"
"The exploration team has finally made a gain, I hope not to disappoint the Lord's Mansion."
Zheng Zhilong immediately asked people to tell the Lord's Mansion.
There is more than one gold mine in Jiaodong, and for Chutian's forces, although the Jiaodong gold mine is not the most important financial source, if it can be mined on a large scale, Chutian can raise tens of thousands of more soldiers and horses.
The current Langya minister is Zhang Hong, who received a report from Jiaodong and asked people to forward it to Xia Liang. At the beginning, Chutian ordered Xia Liang to supervise the opening of the Jiaodong gold mine.
The discovery of gold resources is not trivial.
"Linglong Gold Mine, Grade 8 Gold Mine Resources?!"
Even if it is cool in the summer with a high vision, it is surprising to learn that there are eighth-level gold resources in Jiaodong! Gold and silver ore resources, the highest level 10, 8 gold ore resources, enough to mine for a long time!
"Immediately levy 2,000 displaced people and 500 miners from Donglai County to mine the Linglong gold mine. If the first year's production is okay, additional labor will be dispatched later. ”
Summer Liang knows that the more miners sent the better. There is a marginal benefit to mining gold, and the more miners, the lower the unit production is likely to be. At the same time, it is necessary to send a group of miners to test mining first, and then increase the number of miners as appropriate.
The first gold deposit was discovered in Donglai County, and the exploration team soon began to search for a second gold mine. The Jiaodong Peninsula became the treasury of Chutian's forces, and after the Jiaodong gold mine was mined, Chutian had gold to buy excellent war horses used by high-level cavalry.
In Beihai Guoju County, the main general Zhou Yafu was besieged by Zhao Gongzi's military generals Xue Wanche and Dolgon, but he didn't care much. He fortified the city, sent a cavalry to intrude on Zhao Gongzi's grain routes, and recruited Zheng Zhilong, who was currently stationed in Donglai County, to lead the Fubo Army to come to support.
The population of the villages and towns near the county was all moved to the county by Zhou Yafu in advance, and the population of the county increased to one million.
Zhao Gongzi's army could not collect grain and grass from the area of Juxian County, and could only transport grain from Linzi of Qi State, and on the way to transport grain, it was harassed by the cavalry sent by Zhou Yafu from time to time, which was quite embarrassing.
"Tian Dan and Tian Ji attack Taishan County, you go back to defend Mount Tai, and I can put pressure on Dongjun alone."
Le Yi all the way, he sent Li Guang, Du Ruhui, and Li Xiuning to save Taishan, and only attacked Dongjun with himself and Zhou Cang, the two of them.
For a commander of the level of Le Yi, even if there are no allies, he can calmly advance and retreat.
Li Guang and Du Ruhui's Taishan Army, Li Xiuning's Women's Army and the Invincible Army quickly returned to Taishan to resist the attack from Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tianqi. Because the invincible army was temporarily in the hands of Li Xiuning, Chutian sent Yang Ye to Mount Tai.
Cao Cao's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao had some effect. Zhou Yafu and Zheng Zhilong were dragged in Beihai Kingdom, and Li Guang, Du Ruhui, Li Xiuning, and Yang Ye were forced to return to Taishan. The pressure on East County has greatly decreased.
Xiao Pei, Wu Anguo, Mi Fang and other third-rate generals were stationed here during the battle of Mobei when Chutian went to the city, and they were required to fortify the city to protect themselves and not to fight.
The Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army, the White Robe Legion, and the Servant Legion were sent by Xia Liang in advance to garrison Xiaopei, and with the ability of Wu Anguo and Mi Fang and others, commanding a group of high-level troops was simply tyrannical, so they were ordered to defend to the death, not to attack.
Mi Fang complained about this, thinking that her talents had not been brought into play. But Xia Liang's official position was higher than him, and he was Chutian's most trusted person, Mi Fang didn't dare to protest.
He and Wu Anguo sat on Xiao Pei's city wall and drank, and scolded Fang Xuan: "Xiao Pei's elite division has at least 40,000, if I am asked to command this army to attack westward, Yuzhou is at my fingertips, and the lord can be called king, why should I be on the defensive?" ”
Wu Anguo and Mi Fang clinked glasses: "What the eldest brother said is right." I heard that Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin are the fierce generals in the world, but with the force of the eldest brother, one person can capture two alive. If they dare to come to Xiaopei City to call for battle, they will also ask the eldest brother to show his strength and capture a fierce general alive with one hand, so that the world will know that the eldest brother is still above Qin Shubao and Cheng Biting Jin! ”
Mi Fang took the opportunity to say: "If they dare to come, they will definitely teach them to come back!" ”
"Two generals, there are enemy troops outside the city! For Runan Taishou said that the Tang tribes! ”
When Mi Fang and Wu Anguo boasted, the defenders of the city wall rushed to report.
The vanguard army of Runan Taishou has arrived!
Mi Fang was frightened, and the wine bottle in her hand fell to the ground, and the wine splashed on the ground. He just bragged to his younger brother Wu Anguo, but he didn't expect the enemy army to come.
Wu Anguo asked Mi Fang suspiciously: "Big brother, what's wrong?" It's ......"
"The enemy general can't wait to come and die, it's really beyond my expectations. I think they are going to lose their troops this time! ”
Mi Fang couldn't show weakness in front of Wu Anguo, raised his head and chest, and came to the city wall with Wu Anguo to observe the army from Yuzhou.
50,000 vanguard soldiers from Yuzhou came to the city and showed off their might. Among them, 20,000 were elite soldiers, including elite cavalry, as well as a large number of infantry and crossbowmen, well-equipped and shocking.
Since Mi Fang followed Chu Tian, he had seen countless high-level troops. The 20,000 elite soldiers in front of him are obviously not ordinary legions.
Although this legion is inferior to the elite such as the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army and the White Horse Yicong, it is superior in number. said that Tang used 20,000 elite soldiers at one time.
Mi Fang had the infantry battalion, the shooting battalion, and the tun cavalry battalion of the fifth school of the Northern Army, as well as the white-robed regiment, the servant regiment, the East China Sea Defense Regiment, and the Xiaopei City Defense Force, but he was timid.
In the hands of Mi Fang, these elite legions may not be the opponents of the Yuzhou army under the city.
"The enemy general has called for battle!"
The Xiao Pei defenders shouted.
Mi Fang and Wu Anguo looked at the Yuzhou generals who were calling for battle under the city at the same time. This person has a rough appearance, dragging a Xuanhua axe, and wants to fight the defender alone and fight to the death.
The 50,000 vanguard army in Yuzhou calmly camped under the city, and it was obvious that the commander of the other party had another person, and the person who came out to call the battle was only a general, not a handsome.
"Big brother, this person seems to have some strength, let me go down with the Beihai Iron Hammer Wu Anguo and kill him with one hammer."
Wu Anguo saw that a general from the other side came to provoke him, and he couldn't hold back, so he wanted to go out of the city to fight. It's not uncommon for generals to fight each other, but it's not impossible, and if you can cut them down on the spot, the morale of the enemy will drop greatly.
Mi Fang always had a bad premonition when he saw the generals in the city using the big axe as a weapon.
He had a good relationship with Wu Anguo, and was unwilling to let Wu Anguo go on an adventure, so he sent a lieutenant general to fight.
The city gate opened, and a military general with a red tassel spear galloped out to meet the general with an axe.
This is a military general selected from the martial arts, the force has reached 73, and the commander's ability is only 47, so he is arranged for Mi Fang to serve as a guard.
Mi Fang's ability is mediocre, but his status in Chutian's power is not low, because the Mi family has provided great help to Chutian's early development and entry into Xuzhou. So sometimes Chutian will give Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers preferential treatment.
Mi Fang's guards went out of the city to confront the general with an axe and asked, "Who are you?" Don't you know that Xiao Pei is defended by General Mi Fangmi, the unequaled general of Xuzhou, and he dares to come to die? I don't need our general to make a move, I can shoot you! ”
"Xuzhou Wushuang General ......"
Cheng Yanjin dragged the Xuanhua axe, and couldn't help but secretly defend himself. The other party's origin is so big, presumably that General Mi has the courage of ten thousand people. You need to be careful in this battle, otherwise you may be killed by the opponent in one round.
His lord said that Tang and Qin Qiong went to Qiaoxian in Yuzhou, and there were other people who commanded the 50,000 Yuzhou vanguard army.
said that Tang knew what Mi Fang's level was, and he didn't care about Mi Fang's force, so he didn't mention Mi Fang to Cheng Yanjin.
As a result, Cheng Biting Jin was like a great enemy.
If Mi Fang is the unparalleled general of Xuzhou, then the military general who can serve as Mi Fang's escort may be even higher.
Cheng Yanjin held the gossip Xuanhua axe, rode a war horse and roamed, cautiously dealing with Mi Fang's guards, and didn't dare to start for a while.
Mi Fang's guards saw that Cheng Biting Jin was timid, and thought that Cheng Biting Jin was not enough, so they were overjoyed and took the initiative to attack the horse, and the red tassel spear stabbed Cheng Biting Jin!
"This time, my life is in danger!"
Cheng Biting Jin stepped forward to engage Mi Fang's guards.
In Cheng Yanjin's opinion, Mi Fang's escort force is at least 97 or 98.
The two fought, and Mi Fang's guard gun was like a swimming dragon, flying sand and stones!
With a bang, the spear was chopped away by a giant axe, and Cheng Biting Jin took advantage of the situation to cut Mi Fang's guards under the horse!
The Yuzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army were silent.
Even if Cheng Biting Jin was stunned, the guards of General Xuzhou Wushuang couldn't hold even a round......
"Big brother, the enemy general seems to have good force, I am not his opponent, maybe only the eldest brother can take action to capture him."
Wu Anguo saw that Cheng Biting Jin was easily killed, and he suddenly had self-knowledge and thought that he was not Cheng Biting Jin's opponent.
Mi Fang's face was more ugly than crying at this time, and he kicked an iron plate this time. Mi Fang fought with the guards in private, and most of them couldn't beat this guard. Even the guards with a force of 73 were beheaded by Cheng Yanjin, how could he, a general with an army of less than 70, confront Cheng Yanjin?
In order to maintain a tall image in front of his younger brother, Mi Fang coughed lightly: "Wu Anguo, the lord often tells me that those who are good at words should send 100,000 soldiers to conquer cities and conquer cities, and should not be brave." This is my lord's test for me. What if the city can kill a hundred people? Will he be able to capture my defending Xiaopei? ”
Wu Anguo listened to Mi Fang's explanation, it seems that this is indeed the case, which is probably why Mi Fang can become a Zhonglang general, and he, Wu Anguo, is just a captain.
Cheng Biting Jin killed a general in Xuzhou, and found that the so-called Xuzhou Wushuang General was just an empty shelf, so his confidence soared, and he called out to Xiao Pei Shou General: "The Wushuang General in the city, you have the ability to come down and compare!" ”
"If you have the ability, come up!"
"You've got what it takes!"
"You come up!"
"You come down!"
……
Mi Fang was tired of shouting, so he asked a soldier with a loud voice to stand on the city wall and talk to Cheng Yanjin in the air.
Cheng Biting Jin's mouth was dry, and he no longer entangled with Mi Fang and returned to the camp.
The commander of Yuzhou was ordering the craftsmen to build siege equipment, preparing to attack Xiaopei, and when he saw Cheng biting the gold and returning to the camp, he said: "As soon as General Cheng arrived in Xiaopei, he killed the enemy and made the first contribution, and he will definitely be promoted to Zhonglang General." ”
Cheng Zhijie was indignant: "That guy hid on the city wall, like a turtle, he didn't dare to go out of the city to fight, and he also called himself the unparalleled general of Xuzhou, which really insulted such a title!" ”
"Mi Fang is just a clown jumping off the beam, so there is nothing to be afraid of. He couldn't hold on, mostly because he was instructed by others. With his talents, defending the city is the most suitable choice. ”
The commander of Yuzhou once heard his lord say that Tang mentioned Mi Fang's commanding talent, and thought that it was third-rate or fourth-rate. As for how Mi Fang served as a lieutenant general in the fierce Xuzhou forces, Tang also thought it was incredible.
"Xiaopei is besieged, and Xuzhou Mu will definitely not sit idly by. When the time comes, the general can be defeated by deception, leading the enemy to attack the camp in a hurry, I set up crossbowmen behind the camp, once the enemy approaches, thousands of crossbows can be fired together, and the enemy army can be defeated. ”
The commander of Yuzhou calculated that Chutian would give up Cao Cao and save Xiaopei first, and he already had a countermeasure.
The reason why he sent Cheng Yanjin to lure the enemy was because Cheng Yanjin was the opposite of the unlucky Li Guang, he was a lucky general, and the probability of death was very low.
Cheng took a bite of gold and agreed: "Wrap it up on me!" ”
Mi Fang witnessed the 50,000 vanguard army in Yuzhou making every effort to build siege equipment and set up barracks, and was anxious. The commander-in-chief of the other side was well organized, and it was effortless to organize 50,000 soldiers and horses, and all kinds of engineering equipment were quickly formed with the efforts of craftsmen. It's dangerous this time.
Mi Fang is not completely unself-aware, he usually brags, harmless, really fighting, he has not defeated any generals alone, and his achievements are all on rubbing.
If it weren't for Xia Liang's advance arrangement for the Fifth School of the Northern Army, the White Robe Legion, and the Servant Legion to be stationed in Xiaopei, Xiaopei might have lost immediately. Although the five schools of the Northern Army and the white-robed army and other high-level troops only have Mi Fang's bonus, they are elite after all, and they are in an advantage in defending the city, and they can still block it for a while.
"Don't panic, I heard that the lord has already returned to Xia City. He heard that our Xiaopei was surrounded and would definitely come to support, so why should we panic? ”
Mi Fang inspected the whole army, still maintaining arrogance, and his words were chiseled, and the Xiaopei defenders were full of confidence when they saw the main general, and their morale soared.
