"The villain is from Shangbi Village, twenty-five miles away, and found gold sand while mining, our village chief forbade us to disclose this matter to the outside world, but a gang of horse thieves attacked our village, the village was occupied by horse thieves, and the village chief also fled to Langya City......"

A miner was taken to the Lord's Mansion by Elder Li to explain the location of the gold mine.

Special resources are very important in "Lord", as the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. Special resources can be divided into pastures, gold mountains, silver mountains, copper mountains, iron mountains, hot springs, sulfur, fishing grounds, and so on.

The mining sites in Xia Town rely on first-class iron mountains, and mountains such as copper mountains, silver mountains, and gold mountains are countless times rarer than iron mountains.

Hearing that there was a trace of a gold mine, Chu Tian asked this miner to come to see him as soon as possible.

The village of Shangbi, where the gold mine was discovered, was occupied by horse thieves, and it seems that it is not so easy to obtain the gold mine.

The head of Shangbi Village is also a lord, but he has no ability to resist horse thieves.

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. How many horse thieves are there? ”

"There were forty or fifty horse thieves, and every one of them had a war horse. Our village chief organized 200 villagers, but they were defeated by horse thieves. ”

"Elder Li, you prepare a place for this brother to live, and in the future, you will have to trouble this brother to take us to Shangbi Village."

Chu Tian learned about the situation of the gold mine and asked Elder Li to take the miners down.

Forty or fifty horse thieves, Xia Zhen with the strength of a first-level town, should be enough to destroy them.

"I didn't expect there to be a small gold mine nearby, I don't know how many gold mines it is?"

Chu Tian was a little impatient.

The level of special resources is also level ten, and the higher the level, the richer the resources.

Hua Mulan led the light cavalry to scout around for three days before returning to Xia Town.

Based on the intelligence of previous investigations and Mulan's reconnaissance in the last three days, Chu Tian drew a map of the vicinity of Xia Town.

"There are currently 7 third-level villages and 19 second-level villages found around our summer town. Shangbi Village is one of the second-class villages. ”

Chu Tian had originally planned to annex the third-level village, but the appearance of the gold mine made him likely to change his plans.

A second-tier village with gold mines seems to be more attractive than a normal third-tier village.

"All light cavalry and infantry assemble!"

The second batch of light infantry and Xuzhou archers are still training, and Chutian believes that 30 light cavalry and 70 elite infantry, plus several generals such as Hua Mulan, Liu Sandao, and Wu Shang, should be able to defeat the horse thieves.

In the school field of Xia Town, three rows of light cavalry and seven rows of infantry gathered, and they looked presentable.

Most bows and arrows were used to train Xuzhou archers, with fewer than thirty infantry having bows and arrows, while the rest were armed with iron spears and a wooden shield.

"Let's go, the target is Shangbi Village in the twenty-fifth mile!"

Chu Tian left Xia Town with a hundred professional soldiers and marched non-stop to Shangbi Village.

The miner from Shangbi Village led the way, and he looked a little nervous: "Mayor, the other party is a fierce horse thief, can you really drive them away?" ”

"Trust us."

Twenty-five miles away, in order to save physical strength, Xia Zhen's team came to Shangbi Village in three hours.

"Big brother, a team of officers and soldiers has come to encircle and suppress us!"

The horse thief sentry who occupied Shangbi Village saw Xia Zhen's squad of soldiers and horses blocking the entrance to the village, and immediately reported to the horse thief leader.

"How did the officers and soldiers come so quickly? It must be someone who escaped to report the news! ”

"Boss, what are we going to do?"

"The wind is urgent, retreat!"

"But the officers and soldiers blocked the door."

“……”

The leader of the horse thieves was stunned at this moment, Shangbi Village had only one village gate, surrounded by wooden fences. They can escape over the wooden fence, but their horses can't climb over the wall.

Without war horses, how can they be horse thieves in the future?

A group of horse thieves came to the entrance of the village and saw about a hundred soldiers blocking the road outside.

"These people are not the officers and soldiers of Langya City, they are just the soldiers of some small lords around, defeat them!"

The leader of the horse thieves thought of the gold mine in Shangbi Village, and the evil was born to the side of the bold.

Forty or fifty horse thieves may not be able to kill a hundred soldiers, let alone the soldiers of a small lord.

"Brothers, there is a reward for everyone to fight back the enemy!"

The leader of the horse thieves led forty-six horse thieves to attack the Xia Zhen squad outside the village!

"Kill!"

The horse thieves wielded their sabers and were in high spirits when they learned of the reward.

In their eyes, the soldiers of these minor lords were vulnerable.

However, the reality made them understand the huge gap between professional soldiers and ordinary village warriors.

Forty infantry formed a pike-lined formation with spears and shields, and in the rear were thirty infantry with bows and arrows, and fifteen cavalry on each flank.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Dozens of arrows flew out, and more than a dozen horse thieves were hit by arrows one after another!

Mulan directly snipes at the horse thief leader.

The leader of the horse thieves relied on his instinct to turn his body to the right side, only to feel a pain in his shoulder, and the impact of the bow and arrow almost knocked him off his horse!

The newly recruited gold-level military general Liu Sandao is also a master of archery, and he shot an arrow into the throat of a horse thief, and the ordinary horse thief was obviously inferior to their leader, and he died after being hit by the vital point.

The horse thief is also a type of cavalry, and when it explodes, it is extremely fast, and it can rush in front of the Xia Zhen team in two rounds of arrows.

The horse thief is attacked by two rows of spears like hedgehogs, and the spears stab the horse thief on the war horse to death!

The first platoon of infantry faced the onslaught of war horses, and several infantry were hacked to death by horse thieves, but fortunately the second platoon infantry withstood the charge in time.

Mulan, Liu Sandao, and the infantry in the back row changed into melee weapons and killed more than a dozen horse thieves.

The leader of the horse thieves was picked off by Mulan with a spear, and when he was dying, he realized that he was not provoking an ordinary lord.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the horse thieves fled to the side.

"Leave them behind!"

Chu Tianyan's red horse thief rode a war horse, and let the light cavalry chase and kill the horse thief.

If there were no light cavalry, Chu Tian could only watch the horse thieves flee, but after having light cavalry, he could wantonly pursue and kill the fleeing enemy and expand the results of the battle.

The skirmish in Shangbi Village ended quickly, the level of the horse thieves was not low, Xia Zhen killed 9 infantrymen and 16 horse thieves with more strikes, and the cavalry of Xia Zhen killed 5 horse thieves during the pursuit. The other horse thieves fled.

"The power of the cavalry charge is really strong."

Chu Tian felt sorry for the infantry who died in battle, but people would always die in battle, and they would be successful and their bones would wither. The loot was worth 14 taels of gold, as well as an intermediate skill book, and most importantly, 12 war horses were captured.

"Take me to your mines."

After Chutian expelled the horse thieves, he was led by the miners to the mine in Shangbi Village.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player for discovering a third-level gold ore resource, the reserves are unknown, and the mining difficulty is unknown. ”

Chu Tian came to the mine, and soon there was a hint.

It turned out to be a third-level gold mine!

Grade 1 iron ore is enough to support the perennial iron ore demand of Tier 1 towns, and the output of Tier 3 gold ore is estimated to be not low.

Shangbi Village is about 12.5 kilometers from Xia Town, and if you want to mine the gold here for a long time, you must garrison it.
