Chapter XXVIII
Time passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day agreed with Tanaka Sakura, and after Lu Changfeng received Yang Xiu's letter, he had been preparing for a long time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, Lu Changfeng has always had reservations about dealing with Dongyi's people, and this time Yang Xiu's letter just hoped that Lu Changfeng would perform a scene, intending to clear the suspicion of Gray Pigeon Harbor.
Some time ago, Yang Xiu's impassioned speech also played a great role, and the first step of the corps was restored to the level of 1,500 in a few days.
In fact, there are not a few young and middle-aged people who have enthusiastically signed up to join the army, and more than 100,000 people in Gray Pigeon Hong Kong are hated by the enemy, and they all hope to go to the front line to find Dongyi people for revenge.
However, there is no doubt that the soldiers who have not completed the systematic military training are cannon fodder on the battlefield, and Yang Xiu has only increased the size of the first step corps by one-half, and most of them are still veterans who have experienced a war baptism.
......
When the first rays of light in the morning rise from the sea, the waves ripple and stretch out, and the end of the sea level is faintly revealed with dark shadows, blocking the rising sun.
Seabirds hovered in the air, the sea breeze blowing, and the waves crashing against the reef on the shore, with an inexplicable sense of solemnity and tension in the air.
In a bay basin north of Gray Pigeon Harbor, a cloud of black smoke suddenly rose, and the thick black smoke spiraled up, and the Gray Pigeon Harbor dozens of miles away could be seen clearly.
"Here we go." Yang Xiu, who had been waiting at the port early, saw this black smoke and sighed softly.
Yang Zhicai beside him didn't know Yang Xiu's plans, so naturally they didn't dare to say more, so they just waited on the side, waiting for Yang Xiu's order.
"Gu Chen, Uncle Cai, the safety of the Gray Pigeon Harbor is up to you."
"Young master, don't worry." A trace of sadness flashed in Yang Zhicai's heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Yes."
"Yang Ping, follow me to our mine." Yang Xiu's tone changed, and he said in a slightly gloomy voice.
Yang Xiu's plan is self-evident, at the same time as the Dongyi people landed, they would take the iron ore in Yang An's hands in one fell swoop, and they would also maximize the consumption of Yang An's troops.
After this plan, Yang An and Yang Xiu will definitely be in an endless situation, since Yang An and the Dongyi people have been cut off, there must be no reason for such an important resource as iron ore to be left to Yang An.
After a burst of hurried footsteps, facing the eager eyes of the people of Gray Pigeon Harbor, Yang Xiu led the first step of the Corps towards the south of Gray Pigeon Harbor.
At the same time, the southern bay region also ushered in a huge Dongyi fleet, and huge warships covering the sky and the sun shrouded the entire shallow sea.
This time, the Dongyi people almost poured out, and the Dongyi army of about 6,000 people had successfully landed, and the guide sent by Lu Changfeng also saw Tanaka Sakura.
Without too much lingering, following the simple map provided by the guide, the Dongyi people were quickly moving in the direction of Ningzhen, and the brothers and sisters of Shanjiemu and Tanaka were impressively listed.
At this moment, Yang Xiu's plan has already had a very successful beginning, and the situation looks good with the simultaneous advancement of the two armies and the cooperation of Shangning Town.
Lu Changfeng's cavalry regiment relied on the speed advantage and kept following the right side of the Dongyi army from a distance, monitoring the movements of the Dongyi army on the one hand, and guarding against the possibility that the Dongyi people might still plot against the Gray Pigeon Harbor.
Under the premise that Yang Xiu did not have clear instructions, Lu Changfeng had initially demonstrated the outstanding military talent that an excellent general should have.
After a long day's rapid march, Yang Xiu was already very close to the iron ore of Gray Pigeon Harbor, and the Dongyi people would cross the small river where Yang Xiu had stayed overnight.
Judging from this speed, it should be late at night for the Dongyi people to arrive in Ningzhen, and during this time, Yang Xiu can fully reconnoiter the terrain of this mining area.
When Yang Xiu arrived at the mining area, he was really surprised, the mining area of Gray Pigeon Harbor was surrounded by a towering wooden fence, surrounded by a flat field, without any shelter.
According to the scouts ahead, the entrance to this mining area is surrounded by such a fence, which stretches for a distance of nearly a kilometer, and the watchtowers on the fence are full of people.
Due to the restrictions of the terrain, the scouts did not dare to get too close, and could only wait and see from a distance, so Yang Xiu did not know anything about the situation inside the fence at present.
The mining area is essentially a continuous east-west trending hill for several kilometers, with the mountains on the east side gradually rising, the sea is a high and steep cliff, and the other three sides are facing Anduling, Yanwuling and Gray Pigeon Harbor, which are the junction of the three territories.
"Yang Ping, take someone to go around with me."
"Yes."
Yang Xiu gave an order, then let the large army rest on the spot, and he took Yang Ping and a good hand to touch it.
After bypassing the fence in front of it, the height of the hill on the west side dropped sharply, and it was easy to cross it less than a mile after walking out, and after passing through the hill, the group came to the back of the mining area.
Unlike the fence that stretched for a long time in the front, the mountain behind it was not covered, and a large amount of ore was transported to the direction of Yanwuling with the carriage.
"It's pretty lively." Yang Xiu snorted coldly and stared at the scene in front of him with an unkind face.
"The direction of these carriages is Yan Wuling, do you want to arrange for people to follow you?" When Yang Ping heard this, his eyes rolled and asked.
"There's no need, bring people over, we'll have a fair past."
After saying this, Yang Xiu walked towards the mining area, and Yang Ping lowered his head and followed quickly after a few words.
Yang Xiu and his party were very conspicuous in this open plain, and before they could get close to the mining area, a team of soldiers with distinct armor came up, and from the perspective of their clothing, it was obvious that they did not belong to Anduling.
Yang Xiu and his party, who were stopped by a burly man in black armor, looked at them secretly for a moment, and asked in an unkind tone. "Who are you and what are you doing here!"
Yang Xiu was well-dressed, dressed with a sword, and Yang Ping, who followed behind, also looked like an entourage, this person also had a bit of eyesight, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Yang Xiu and the others where they came from.
When Yang Xiu saw this person, he quickly thought about it in his heart and had a plan, and then replied without thinking.
"I'm from the Tanaka clan."
When the black-armored man heard this, his heart sank, the cooperation between the Tanaka clan and An Duling was actually not a very secret thing, especially for the black-armored man who could be arranged by Yang An to guard the mining area, the matter of the Tanaka clan was still very clear.
"I wonder which adult of the Tanaka family is it?" The black-armored man's tone changed, and he asked a little respectfully, but there was still a slight suspicion in his words, and he didn't seem to trust Yang Xiu very much.
When Yang Xiu heard this, he suddenly felt a little difficult to ride a tiger, and he didn't know how to answer.
There is a huge Tanaka clan, and there is only one Tanaka Sakura he has come into contact with, and the others have never met, so as soon as this person is raised, Yang Xiu said in his heart that it was terrible, and most of it was about to be exposed.
"Miss Sakura Tanaka asked us to come, don't ask more if you shouldn't." Yang Xiu had no choice but to move out of Tanaka Sakura's name, and looked at the black-armored man's eyes with a little apprehension.
"My lord, come with me." When the black-armored man heard Tanaka Sakura's name, he immediately said with a look of understanding.
Immediately, the black-armored man took Yang Xiu and a few people and walked in the direction of the mining area, with bare ore and workers working hard along the way.
Under the scorching sun, the scorching light raged, and the ragged workers armed with sledgehammers knocked open the boulders one by one, into fragments, and sent them to the gray brick houses on the side.
There are many gray brick houses in the mining area, most of which have black chimneys and smoke emitting, and you can see at a glance that this is a place for iron ore smelting.
The side adjacent to the mine is steeply lowered, and there is a hole in the slope, which is heavily guarded.
"I don't know why your lord is here this time?" The black-armored man led Yang Xiu to a spacious room not far from the entrance of the cave and asked.
"Take me down there." Yang Xiu is also a master of the arts, and said with a cold expression.
Yang Ping and the others on the side were terrified when they heard this, and several of their entourages lowered their heads, but judging from the slightly trembling bodies, these people were already very scared in their hearts.
Hearing Yang Xiu's words, the black-armored man hesitated and said awkwardly.
"My lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
"Then forget it." Yang Xiu glanced at a few of his entourage, and then dispelled this thought, there was still a lack of a group of elite players around him.
"I'm here to remind you this time, our people have suffered a big loss in Gray Pigeon Harbor, and we must step up guarding here so as not to let people take advantage of the loopholes."
"That's nature." The black-armored man's eyes froze when he heard this, and he said in a low tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, a person walked into the house and whispered a few words in the ear of the black-armored man, while the black-armored man's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly greeted Yang Xiu and ran to the direction of the mine.
"Be careful, this person suddenly has murderous intent towards you." The voice of the creation suddenly startled, reminding Yang Xiudao.
Yang Xiu's expression was dazed, and he immediately whispered to Yang Ping. "Go out and bring someone in."
"Your safety, my lord?" When Yang Ping heard this, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't seem to be at ease that Yang Xiu was here alone.
"I'm fine." Yang Xiu shook his head and said in an unquestionable tone.
Yang Ping stopped writing when he heard this, and immediately turned around and left, and the soldiers on the side did not dare to stop him, and Yang Ping rushed all the way in the direction of the first step of the corps.
As soon as Yang Ping left on his front foot, the black-armored man on his back foot returned with a few people, but what was puzzling was that the black-armored man had a smile on his face, and it was not at all as murderous as the creation said!
"Be careful." The voice of creation sounded again.
Yang Xiu was already wary of this person, and the reminder of the creation again increased Yang Xiu's vigilance, seeing the hypocritical smile on the face of the black-armored man, Yang Xiu's hair suddenly exploded, and he felt a slight chill behind him.
"What happened?" Yang Xiu spoke first, planning to deal with this person to buy time for Yang Ping.
"Something happened down there, but it's been resolved." The black-armored man shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he was fine.
But Yang Xiu couldn't believe this person's words, judging from the reminder of the creation, someone sent a message to the black-armored man, which directly led to the leakage of his identity.
But the mining area is far away from Andu to lead the way, and it must be unreasonable for him to receive the news as soon as he came here, and then thinking of the movements of the Dongyi army, Yang Xiu has probably determined two things in his heart.
Most of the Dongyi people have already taken action against Ning Town, and there must be a special way to transmit news remotely in the mining area, which can well explain why the black-armored man would kill himself.
After figuring out this joint, Yang Xiu naturally had a plan in his heart.
