Chapter 629: Flanking Attack
"Captain, there is a bit of a situation......", a member of the mine protection team ran over and whispered a few words in the ear of the leader of the mine protection team.
It turned out that more than 60 carriages that came this time almost occupied the open space inside the gate, and even a few carriages were blocked outside the gate, and even the gate could not be closed. There were also crowds of carriages inside the gate, and it was impossible to close the gate, and these people were still crowding inside, almost blocking the entire perimeter of the camp. It's a small thing in normal times, but at this time, it's obviously a bit dangerous.
The mine guard glanced back at the leader of the convoy, took two puffs of his cigarette, and raised his head slightly, "Let the last twenty wagons get out, close the gates, and let the outside ones in when the inside is unloaded." He won't get along with the team leader during this time, smoke some cigarettes from the other party, and occasionally pack a few packs of cigarettes on his body. To be able to become the captain of this group of mine protection team members, in addition to meeting the requirements of the mine owner, he must also have a heart that will never relax.
Only when he is the captain can he enjoy all this in the open, if one day he loses this position because of his fault, maybe these give him cigarettes, and people will turn their faces as soon as they turn around and say yes. No matter how valuable things are, they are not as important as their own mission and responsibility, which is the "experience" of the captain of the mine protection team.
The leader's expression remained unchanged, and he also took the initiative to shout at the grooms to turn their horses' heads as soon as possible and drive the car out.
After commanding for a while, the team leader suddenly said: "Sir, I have a younger brother who has been in school for a few years, knows how to read, and can calculate some simple numbers, and he wants to find a job ......", he didn't finish his words, and the captain of the mine protection team knew what he meant.
The mining area is far from the city, and the work here is dangerous, but it is generally quite possible. There are higher wages than in the factories, the mining companies pay for food and drink, there are no strict restrictions on personal freedom, and as long as you can endure loneliness, you can make much more money working here than working elsewhere. This is one of the reasons why many gold diggers end up in the mining team, they are not willing to take greater risks to pursue profits that may not be touched in a lifetime, and choose a relatively stable life.
Some families in the western part of the country will find ways to stuff their children or relatives into the mining area, in the words of the west, even going out to the relative's house is full of risks, what is the risk of the mining area?
The captain of the mine protection team turned around and walked a few steps back, and the leader of the team followed, he had done a lot of such things, anyway, he was only responsible for recommending, and the specific management problems were not his responsibility, and even if the other party came, he might not be able to do it for a long time. The two of them left the center of the gate and took them aside, "How old is your brother this year, can he do heavy work? The work in the living area is not easy, if he can't endure hardship, it's better to let him find a life elsewhere." ”
The living quarters are just a general term, but in fact the ore is pushed out of the mine by the slaves and then enters the living quarters, where the employees need to crush and sort the ore, which is not a small amount of work and the work is not easy. The ore is often a dozen or dozens of pounds, and their job is to throw the ore into the crusher for crushing, and then sort out the part that contains the mineral, which is very repetitive.
It is not new that repetitive work can easily cause fatigue and boredom, and it is not uncommon for people to ask for time off or quit their jobs.
"My brother is in good health and can endure hardships, he has to do something for himself, don't he? Don't worry, his parents also asked me to pass on some things to you as a ......reward for your help", the team leader had already walked to the edge of the canyon cliff when he spoke, this is not far from the gate, but it is a blind spot in perspective, it is difficult to notice the situation here without paying special attention to it.
Coordinated by the team leader's verbal inducements and his ability to pump his arms, the captain of the mine guard looked at the hand he had been holding in his pocket. His arm twitched very slowly, and he was a little rickety, which made the captain of the mine guard team also lower his head slightly, which was a human instinct, and had nothing to do with his psychological changes.
In the next second, a dagger was pulled directly out of the team leader's pocket at a speed different from the previous slow-motion speed, and at the same time, he grabbed the shoulder of the leader of the mine protection team with one arm, and sent the dagger into the throat of the leader of the mine protection team in the short second that the other party was frightened. At this time, he also hugged the neck of the captain of the mine protection team tightly, and the other hand held the arm of the leader of the mine protection team, and after his short struggle, everything returned to peace.
The team leader behaved like a good friend of the captain of the mine protection team, and the two of them stood in the corner with their backs to the whole camp and whispered, even if someone's eyes swept here at this time, they would not pay too much attention. Their attention was focused on those girls, how could they care about what their captain was doing?
These people don't pay attention to what their captain and team leader are doing, but someone is paying attention to the situation here. When the team leader pulled out a hand and made a gesture of action, the noisy gate seemed to be quiet for a moment, so brief that no one seemed to notice the difference.
Twenty girls got out of the carriage and scrambled to lead the girls to the living quarters, where they were more attractive than gold, and they were eager to do something inferior to the beasts at once. The girls were wearing cloaks and keeping their heads down, so that the mine rangers could not see what they looked like. The more I can't see it, the more itchy my heart becomes, and the more I want to get close to these girls who smell good.
Although the living conditions here are not bad, there are few women, and it is said that from time to time there are reports from the stables that the mare has been violated. Some people saw that the captain and the leader were still talking, and secretly left their duty posts, and followed these girls into the living area together, in fact, they knew that these girls were all skilled girls, and they appeared here to use their extraordinary and superb skills to solve the swelling problem that had been bothering them.
Stuart's nephew had packed up twenty separate rooms, and as soon as the girls entered the room, some impatient fellows rushed in to ...... while unbelting their belts.
Outside, a carriage that was turning its direction suddenly came to a crooked stop, which made it impossible for the surrounding carriages to continue to turn around, and the coachman shouted loudly, "The wheels of this carriage are broken, can someone come and help? Otherwise, we won't be able to continue to turn the wheel!", he pointed to the wheels behind him, which were actually out of the frame of the carriage and crooked to the side, unable to continue turning. There were a few slaves around, but it would take some time for the slaves to come over, and some of them looked at the captain of the mine guard who was standing in the corner with the convoy leader, and he waved his hand and did not speak.
The nearby mine guards, who had been supervising the coachmen with guns, glanced at each other, slung their guns over their shoulders, and walked over to stand beside the carriage in an effort to lift the carriage. But the wagon full of wheat kernels weighed at least two or three tons, and how could a dozen or so men lift it? In addition to the coachman, they called the nearest members of the mine guard to come and try to lift the cart a little more.
One of them, with a red face and a thick neck, and bruises on his head, shouted loudly and quickly, "Quick, quick, get something to frame the car......"
At this time, a coachman outside the gate suddenly picked up a flag from the body and waved it, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder outside the canyon, and all the members of the mine protection team were attracted by the sound of horses' hooves in a row, and ran up the high wall. At this moment, when they were all focused on the outside of the canyon, the dozen or so members of the mine protection team were silently smashed in the head by the hammer and collapsed to the ground.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, the entire canyon was filled with gunfire, and the members of the mine guard team who were in charge of monitoring the mine did not have time to rush out of the mine, and were killed by the slaves holding pistols in the mine.
The shouting of killing instantly echoed throughout the canyon!
It was a slaughter that was supposed to be carried out inside and out, a prepared and unprepared killing, and from the moment the killing began, the mine guards in the canyon were destined to be attacked from inside and outside. The death of the captain of the mine guard left the group flying around like headless flies, and they had no idea what exactly they had to do to save the sudden attack.
Some people shot out of the high wall, some rushed to the gate only to be killed by the horseman who suddenly turned his face, and dozens of guys disappeared into the camp for no apparent reason.
The whole camp was in chaos, and they had to guard not only against the horse bandits who were about to rush to the gate, but also from the attack of the slaves.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, an announcement shook the entire western region through the airwaves.
The Brewer mine was completely destroyed by the attack of the Freedom Front, all the members of the mine protection team were completely wiped out, and Stuart's nephew was captured alive. The leaders of the Freedom Front declared that all slaves in the Brewer Bay mines would be freed and that anyone who dared to harm, imprison, and mistreat slaves in the West would be their enemies.
The Brewer mine may be the first to be completely captured, but it will definitely not be the last!
At about seven o'clock in the evening, Henry, the second son of the steel tycoon, contacted the Minister of Defense by telephone, and then a phone call from the imperial capital changed the situation in the west again.
