Chapter 174: Decisive Battle of the Youth Union Gang - Recapture the Gold Mine
"Brother, having your right-hand man really makes me worry a lot less. "I sighed," I sighed, "and Yiming, who is also very wise, and you two are my right-hand men."www.biquge.info β
"Brother, you've won the prize." Wulin Hongru hugged his fists.
"The helper praises falsely, and his subordinates dare not be ashamed." Xuanyuan said, "Our qualifications are mediocre, how can we help the master in case?" β
"They are all their own brothers, who doesn't know who? Yiming, why should you be too humble? I laughed, "Being too modest would be hypocritical." β
"Well, don't be modest, your own people still play this game?" Yu Xuan said, "Whoever achieves great things must have a lot of talents under his command, and the helper not only has two right-hand men, but also me, a virtuous helper who is hard to find in a hundred years." β
"Well, the lady is very right." I gave a thumbs up.
Everyone laughed, and Xuanyuan Yiming then praised and flattered Yuxuan, which made her laugh.
"Brother, what about these more than 500 captives? Do you need me to persuade you to surrender? Shuai Feiyang asked.
"You're addicted, aren't you?" I asked dismissively.
"yes, remember the last time you fought with the Qinghai Gang over the gold mines? Under my very convincing persuasion, the enemy's 'turning rate' is extremely high. Shuai Feiyang said with a smile.
"I am so indignant that so many brothers have died today, so I have decided to put all the captives to death." I said coldly.
"I hope the helper will think twice." Wu Qixun hugged his fists and said, "This battle has suffered heavy losses, if you can persuade the prisoners to surrender, first, you can replenish some manpower, and second, you can reduce the killing karma." β
"Hehe, Elder Wu, when did you start believing in Buddhism?" I joked.
Wu Qixun saw that my words were quite unkind, so he didn't dare to be long-winded, so he had to retreat to the side stupidly.
When everyone saw that Wu Qixun, who had always been respected by me, made a fuss, no one spoke out to persuade him, so as not to be bored.
"Beat all the captives to death." I gave orders to the new miners.
After receiving the order, the miners brandished their miners' hoes like tigers pounced on them, and rushed towards the captives who were bound and kneeled in a heap.
Suddenly, a river of blood flowed under the ancient trees, and the blood flowed out and stained a large area of grass, which looked extremely dazzling in the sun.
The miners were bathed in a rain of blood until they were soaked in blood, and their blood-stained faces looked even more hideous with distorted expressions.
"See? This is the ugly nature of human beings. "They took out all their dissatisfaction with their lives and fate on the captives." β
"Captives are not innocent and do not deserve sympathy." Wu Lin Hongru said, "They have killed a lot of miners before, and now the killing is just revenge." β
"When is the time for retribution?" Ai Ai frowned, then turned her head and couldn't bear to look at it again.
"It's on fire!" Yu Xuan coldly pointed to a row of buildings on the side of the mountain and exclaimed.
"Not good! That's the granary. Li De shouted.
The dry thatched hut was already flammable, and the fire was even more out of control under the blowing of the mountain wind, and in an instant, thick smoke billowed out, and the fire rushed half a day high.
Several arsonists rushed out of the fire and fled to the mine, but they didn't get far before they were slashed into meat sauce.
"There were fish that slipped through the net when I searched for the captives just now." Xuanyuan said angrily, "Jin Shuangxi, what are you doing?" β
"The subordinates deserve to die, please help the master and the elders forgive their sins." Jin Shuangxi hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy again and again.
"That's half a month's ration for 20,000 people." Li De beat his chest and said.
As we spoke, Wu Lin Hongru had already passed the order to organize the people to put out the fire.
The only source of water in the mountains was a stream that flowed down from a high place, about half a mile away from the granary, so the firefighting efforts were ineffective.
Someone broke off a branch and tried to put out the fire, but as soon as they got close to the fire, they were forced back by the raging fire.
Everyone watched the fire grow stronger and stronger, and there was nothing they could do, so they had to let it rage.
After 10 minutes, the fire weakened, and after another 10 minutes, the fire was completely extinguished.
"There is less than 1/10 of the food left, which is only enough for us to eat for one day." Li De said with a sad face.
"You don't have to worry, let's go down the mountain to purchase after the Youth Federation Gang is destroyed." I was relieved.
"If I had known that I had spared the captives, they might not have set fire to the granary." Yu Xuan said secretly.
"Are you questioning my decision?" I asked.
"Hehe, I'm just making a hypothesis." Yu Xuan replied.
"Hey, well, your words are not unreasonable, and I will try not to be emotional in the future." I said.
I have to admit that Yuxuan is reasonable, and she is only communicating with me in private, not openly challenging my authority, and doing things very decently.
"Before I knew it, it was already 4 o'clock, why didn't the Youth Union Gang attack yet?" I said to myself.
"Looks like they want to besiege us while guarding the entrance and preventing reinforcements from entering the mountains." Wu Lin Hongru groaned.
"Originally, we could have spent money with them while mining, but now that there is no food, I'm afraid it won't last long." I frowned.
"Helper, my subordinates have something to report." Huang Qashqai whispered in my ear, "There is a secret path in the back mountain, and the Youth Union Gang used it to transport gold. β
"The Way? Easy to walk? I asked.
"In fact, it is a tunnel dug out of a cave, which can only be passed by one person, and it is all manpower to transport goods." Huang Qashqai said.
"Hehe, as long as there is a road, the last thing we lack is people." I laughed, "But the road was opened by the Youth Union Gang, I don't know if they have blocked the road or set up ambushes along the way." β
"The subordinates have arranged eyeliner on the side of the trail outside the mountain, and we will get the news if there is a slight change in the Youth Union Gang." Huang Qashqai smiled, "They didn't expect that outsiders would know about the Secret Way, and the entrance of this tunnel is very secret, if they don't get someone to guide them, they may not be able to find it after looking for a few years." β
"And how did you find out?" I asked curiously.
"This morning, my subordinates and hundreds of miners were blindfolded, each carrying 2,000 taels of gold into the secret path of the back mountain, sending the gold out of the mountain and then transported away by the escort vehicle." Huang Qashqai said, "I secretly pulled the blindfold up a small section, revealing a few gaps at the bottom, so that I could see a few feet in front of me, but the escort didn't know it, so I carefully observed on the way and memorized the path out of the mountain." β
"Brother is witty, I admire him." I praised.
"The subordinates are ashamed." Huang Qashqai hurriedly hugged his fists.
"How much gold did they take away? Where is it shipped? I asked.
"My subordinates don't know how much gold they have taken away, I have only been selected to participate in one shipment, and I have been focusing on finding out the news and plotting against the miners, and I have not paid much attention to the transportation of gold." Huang Qashqai said, "As for the destination, after loading the car, I quietly hid under the escort car and walked with them, so I learned that it was Zhujiazhuang outside Linfen County, and they were one of the allies of the Youth Union Gang." β
After learning that there was a way to retreat, I was a lot more sure in my heart, but the other party might come to close the road at any time, so I didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and quickly ordered Wu Qixun and Wu Jiangong to lead 100 masters and 2,000 miners to quickly go out of the mountain to find food, and deployed some defensive forces in the back mountain.
"I have told the reinforcements on the periphery not to attack, but only to hold on to the same place, blocking the retreat of the Qinglian Gang." Wu Lin Hongru said, "We are blocked in the mountains and starving, aren't we the other party?" I don't believe they brought a lot of food with the army. β
When I heard this, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hehe, yes, in my opinion, they only have 2 days' rations at most, and their goal is just not to starve to death before us." β
"Well, besides, our food will be replenished soon, and we will see who can consume whom." Wu Lin Hongru said with a smile.
"Then don't waste time, grab the grain with one hand, the gold with the other, and be hard with both hands." I nodded, and then issued an order for all miners to leave their positions and disperse to the various mines to resume digging.
Wulin Hongru Feige sent a message to inform the allies outside the mountain, asking them to raise a five-day ration of food for long-term combat, and at the same time build a large number of fortifications, so that the opponent cannot break through in a short time, so that our side can be flanked in front and rear.
"In fact, it doesn't take 5 days, the other party will be anxious after eating the rations, and they will immediately make a choice between advance and retreat." Wu Lin Hongru said, "It is estimated that the day after tomorrow will be the decisive day." β
"Then what are we doing in the mountains tonight and tomorrow all day? Do you dig gold with the miners? I sighed.
"Good idea, I also have experience in mining." Yu Xuan smiled, "Besides, it can increase production, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?" β
Everyone agreed, so I ordered all the players to help them mine in the hole.
Although players will lose 5% of their taxes by helping to mine gold, adding a few thousand more laborers will help them dig faster and avoid long nights, and they can also level up by the way, everyone is happy, I thought to myself.
I thought about it for a while, and after making up my mind, I gritted my teeth and said on the gang channel: "The reward I promised before everyone came to me to receive it, and I fought for an afternoon, and I worked hard for you." β
"Thank you, long live the helper." The crowd swiped the screen and cheered on the gang channel, and then they all came to me and lined up to receive the bounty in turn.
When it was someone's turn, I paid according to the number they quoted, and I didn't bother to check it, because I believed that no one would dare to lie to me on purpose.
After dozens of people received the bounty, I found that the team was almost unmoving, and I couldn't see the end at a glance, so I took out a large handful of silver tickets and handed them to Xuanyuan Yiming for him to distribute them on his behalf.
I saw everyone gossiping in twos and threes, so I suggested that we go into the cave and mine togetherβrather than sit and upgrade.
"Do you need to turn in the gold you dig up? If it goes into my own pocket, I don't want to dig it, so I might as well sit and watch the scenery. Xiaojian said.
"Always talk to me about money, aren't you afraid of hurting your feelings?" I said earnestly, "Pick up your miner's hoe and go into the hole." β
"It's only hurt to have no money." Xiaojian shook his head.
"Stop talking nonsense, give me a job!" Yu Xuan shouted, and made a gesture to fight.
"I'll go, I'll go, my sister spares her life." Little Sword shouted as he grabbed his head and ran to the nearest mine.
"Cheap bones, not fierce." Yu Xuan said with a grin.
Everyone laughed, took out the miners' hoes from their bags and walked towards the mine one after another.
