The next day, after the troops finished breakfast, Huang Chong took a thousand people along the dirt road into the mountain, and the rest of the people stayed in place with various materials, in fact, it would not take so many people to fight a mine with a few hundred people, and the reason why Huang Chong brought a thousand people was to facilitate the transportation of ore, after all, the mine that had been dug for several months should not be less.

Huang Chong walked at the front of the team, holding a map in his hand and looking at it, looking at the surrounding environment from time to time, after walking for a while, seeing that what he had walked was no different from what was recorded on the map, Huang Chong was too lazy to look at the map, after all, it was just one road, as long as he followed this road.

Because they were holding more than 1,000 automatic firearms to attack these hillbillies with cold weapons, Huang Chong and the others were swaggering forward all the way, and they didn't even bother to send out scouts, and more than 1,000 people were advancing quickly along the dirt road.

At the end of the dirt road is a hill that is not too high but covers a wide area, and at the corner of this mountain is a mining area enclosed by many arms more than two meters thick. The area of the whole mining area is about more than 10,000 meters, there are large and small holes in the mountain wall, there are some people in ragged clothes, like beggars, from time to time in and out of the holes, and there are also some big men in black clothes, holding whips in their hands, and the whips fall on those people in rags from time to time, causing a burst of screams, and then the rampant laughter of the big men.

In a vacant lot inside the fence, there is a small wooden house, at this time the person in charge of the mine Xie Qing is frowning and looking at the book in his hand, if it was in the past, Xie Qing must still be asleep in the bed at this time, but today is the time for delivery, so he came early to inquire about the gold nugget reserves of the mine.

Xie Qing is a tall and thin man, often with a seemingly friendly smile on his face, but he is a black-hearted person, and is secretly called the smiling tiger by the miners.

"Niu Dan, Niu Dan, you stinky boy get me in" Xie Qing suddenly shouted at the door.

"Squeak" With the sound of the door opening, a thin figure quickly walked in.

"Master Xie, what do you have to say," Niu Dan said respectfully to Xie Qing.

"Let me ask you, the delivery is going to be delivered this afternoon, why is there still a difference of more than five hundred catties, how do you do it, the overseer" Xie Qing threw the notebook in his hand in front of Niu Dan and roared angrily.

"This, Master Xie, listen to my explanation, the reason why the number is not enough is because we have fewer miners and not enough manpower," Niu Dan explained with a bitter face.

"Don't we have more than four hundred miners, why are they not enough," Xie Qing said with a glaring eye.

"Thank you, we only have more than 300 miners left"

"How can it be so little, I have long told you not to attack too hard, and beat them to death, now you can go in and dig inside"

", it's not that you, the smiling tiger, have killed too many miners, and now you still want to lie on our heads" Niu Dan thought angrily in his heart, and said with a smile on his face, "Yes, the third master taught me that I will arrange for the brothers to go in to mine now, and I must dig enough before the delivery in the afternoon"

"Xie Ye, Xie Ye, it's not good" At this moment, a man in black broke into the room in a panic.

"What's the panic, the sky is falling," Xie Qing looked at the person who broke in and scolded dissatisfiedly.

"Xie Ye, there is a large group of men and horses heading towards our mine, and now we are almost at the foot of the mountain," the man in black said quickly.

"What, do you see clearly, how many people are there, could it be our people" Xie Qing was also surprised, today is the day of delivery, don't make any moths.

"I don't know, but it's certainly not our people, they're all dressed in blue, and there are probably more than a thousand of them," said the man in black.

"It seems that it is not good" Xie Qing sighed, now it seems that it is too late to ask for help, and he can only see if some simple defensive devices on the mountain can resist the other party, but he also has to send people to take the small road and quickly go back to ask for help.

"Niu Dan, you go and ring the alarm bell and let the brothers gather, you, ride my fast horse and walk the path, quickly go to several other mines to inform them to send reinforcements, and then go to Plains City to report to the gang leader" Xie Qing hurriedly explained the task to the two of them, and went out to set up a defense line outside with a nervous face.

"Bell, bell, bell, bell" With the rapid sound of the bell, the black-clothed people who were distributed in the mine or supervised the work in the mine came to the flat ground outside one by one to gather, and after a while, hundreds of people stood in black, and the reason why hundreds of people were blackened was because they were all wearing black clothes, so standing together looked black.

Xie Qing quickly assigned the task to these black-clothed people, because the place where the mine is located is a high place, if you want to come up to the mine, you must pass through a slope of more than 30 meters, this slope is their best natural defense line, they have long been equipped with all kinds of rolling stones and sassal wood, in addition to the location of the mine, all kinds of stones are simply everywhere, as long as you pick up the stone and smash it down, Xie Qing believes that even if more than a thousand people come to attack the gold mine, it will not be good.

And Huang Chong and they traveled for half an hour. In general, the purpose of this trip is not very high, of course, it is not very high compared with some other mountains around, compared with the surrounding mountains of more than 100 meters, this mountain that looks like it is only more than 60 meters high does not look high, but although the mountain is not high, it covers a wide area.

"According to the map, the gold mine is halfway up the hill ahead," Huang Chong looked up at the fence on the hill that was fenced with wood. He also seemed to see a lot of black-clothed people watching them from behind the fence.

"What should 01 do, do you want to start fighting directly" Huang Chong asked 01 beside him, he has always liked to listen to 01's opinion on the matter of war, after all, he is just an ordinary otaku, let him eat, drink and have fun, it is definitely no problem, it is better to hand over more professional things like war to 01, he only needs to be in charge of the general direction.

"Commander, this kind of terrain does not seem to be conducive to the attack of the troops, if you want to force the attack, I am afraid that the casualties will be very large, after all, as long as the opponent is not a fool, he will definitely throw stones from above, which will cause us a lot of casualties, so I suggest that the artillery platoon that follows over bombard the other side with the 20 mortars it carried" 01 looked at the surrounding terrain and thought for a while, and then quickly said his suggestion.
