Chapter 14: The Battle for the Mine

On the suburban path, the leader of the men in black was injured in the lungs by Xuanyi's sudden palm, and was fleeing quickly, followed by Xuanyi.

The man in black kept changing his position, and at the same time used obstacles such as trees and rocks to delay Xuanyi's pursuit.

Xuanyi, who was originally exhausted just now, suddenly burst out and rushed to the "command center" where he was sitting, and almost killed him, which couldn't help but make him frightened, and decisively gave up resistance and fled directly, after all, no one wanted to die in a foreign land.

Taking advantage of the gap in the pursuit, the information of the man in black appeared in front of him.

"Icheon, male, 33 years old, captain of the intelligence spy team of the Forward Battalion of the Amphibious Corps of the Vortex State, with an ability level of B-, and a combat power of 9510. ”

Although Lichuan's martial arts are not as good as Xuanyi's, but the light skills are better, Xuanyi was gradually distanced, and he could only hold his breath and reluctantly give up the pursuit. Look at the already cloudy sky and return home.

Back in Silla Town, in an open field outside the town, Xuanyi gathered everyone, counted the number of people, and found that eighteen people were killed, twelve were seriously wounded, and the rest were more or less wounded. The first time he led the team, his subordinates lost more than sixty percent, Xuanyi's face was gloomy, and his anger was nowhere to vent.

He waved his hand to several squad leaders and asked, "Do you know where the vortex country is?"

"My lord, the big island in the sea to the east of the country is the Vortex Country. ”

"Yes, yes, it takes less than half a day to take a fast boat from Zhenyuan to the sea!"

"The people of the vortex country are not yet civilized, although they are not so hairy and blood-drinking, but they are also arrogant and unreasonable, and have no shame. ”

Xuan Yi nodded frequently, Fang Yu saw that his face was grim, and asked softly: "Lord Xuan, is this attack related to the barbarians of the Vortex Country?"

Xuanyi nodded slightly, and said, "It's not appropriate to make a noise at this time, everything will be decided by President Yuming." ”

"Yes!" the crowd responded.

It was dawning, and Xuanyi, who had taken a short break, stood up, patted away the dew around him, and called his subordinates to help them return to Lu'an. Some people quietly returned to the old site of the Silla rudder to investigate, and found that the snakes had long since disappeared, and even the dozens of horses that came with them were gone, leaving only the mess of the yard and countless potholes. Although he was a little unwilling, his purpose had been basically achieved by the time he came.

Back at the Lu'an City Branch, the six teams that were sent to investigate also returned one after another, and only Xuanyi's team was attacked by the enemy. Xuanyi presented several captured enemy weapons and reported the information obtained by his scanning to the higher-ups, but unfortunately, when the man in black retreated, he desperately snatched back the corpse of his fallen companion, otherwise it would have been more convincing.

After the report, Xuanyi retired and recuperated, the high-level discussed for a long time in the inner room, and the president Jiang Shuhua sent a messenger to begin to dispatch troops.

Three days later, a large number of Juxian Pavilion gangs wearing blue suits arrived in Lu'an City under the leadership of the elders of the halls, and martial arts people wielding knives and guns could be seen everywhere in the entire city.

In addition to a group of high-level officials, this time there were also five hall masters, ten elders, thirty Dharma protectors and hundreds of incense helmsmen, many elites gathered, the momentum was amazing, and the scene was grand.

Xuanyi stood in the front row of the crowd under the stage, because he had made meritorious contributions to detecting and killing the enemy a few days ago, he was not only rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, but also rewarded with a copy of the fourth-level exercise "Cloud and Mist Sword Technique".

Jiang Shuhua coughed lightly, and the crowd suddenly fell silent, he glanced around and said, "Brothers, this time we have summoned everyone to come!

"A huge gold mine has been discovered in the Silla Mountains on the outskirts of Lu'an! According to the assessment of the mint, it is conservatively estimated that at least 5,000 tons can be mined!" Jiang Shuhua directly made such a powerful information public.

"What! 5,000 tons !!" The crowd in the audience suddenly exclaimed, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

"Silence!" Jiang Shuhua shouted, his voice seemed to explode in everyone's ears, and the people present were stunned and obediently kept silent.

"However, we are not the only ones who are eyeing this gold mine! Not only the Supervision Department, but even other forces are secretly spying on it, and there is not much time left for us!" Jiang Shuhua changed his words, "Now assign the task! The Zhenyuan branch hall stays behind, and the three halls of Lu'an, Beihe, and Ningzong follow me to seize the gold mine!"

Seeing that the Zhenyuan Branch Gang was dissatisfied, Jiang Shuhua smiled slightly and added: "All the personnel involved in this operation will receive an additional three years' salary according to their rank! If there are casualties, the gang is responsible for supporting the family. The crowd cheered again.

Seeing this scene, all the high-level leaders nodded and smiled, calling the military heart available.

In the afternoon, the sun scorched the earth, and the people of Juxian Pavilion walked in the mountains and fields under the scorching sun.

A few weeks ago, Zhou Xianyun, the head of the Lu'an Branch, had already discovered the news of the gold mine, and he was carried away by such a huge wealth and tried to monopolize the gold mine. While quietly hiring workers to mine in private, he sent men stationed in various major roads to block the news and hunt down the farmer rangers who strayed into the mining area.

But after all, the news still leaked, not only did he lose his subordinates in vain, but even the mining area was seized by unknown forces, so he had to report to the branch for help.

Xuanyi rode his horse and walked along the rugged mountain road, this time he was not treated as a carriage, and the bumpy horseback almost tossed him apart.

In the past three days, in addition to continuously absorbing the essence of plants and trees every day, Xuan Yi also practiced the rewarded "Cloud Mist Sword Technique" every day, which was the first time he had obtained the martial arts of this world through ways other than the Huaimu card. Fortunately, thanks to the "complex" function of the Huai Mu card, you can be included in the Huai Mu card by practicing martial arts several times, so as to point out the shortcomings and gain proficiency.

Xuanyi practiced hard for three days, and he could practice the swordsmanship to the second stage of beginner training, and the cloud and mist swordsmanship happened to be a left-handed swordsmanship, known for its speed, and the Vajra swordsmanship can be well compatible, so Xuanyi has a sword on his back, which is quite bluffing at first glance, and has a master's temperament of "swords and swords".

When it was estimated that there were still dozens of miles away from the gold mine, there was a faint sound of soldiers fighting with the pathfinder team ahead, occasionally accompanied by shouting and screaming, and Juxian Pavilion had already encountered and exchanged hands with the scouts of this force.

"Ran away!" the bloodied scout captain reported to a hall master in shame.

"Rubbish!" the hall master was furious, and whipped him to the ground with a whip. Turned around and yelled: "Speed up all for me!"

By fleeing scouts, it won't be long before the hostile forces are on guard, and their plans to infiltrate the attack are shattered, forcing them to launch a frontal assault.

After walking for several miles, the trees in front of them were dense and difficult for carriages and horses to walk, and the people stopped in front of a relatively flat wood, cut down trees and weeds under the command of the big and small leaders, and began to set up camp and arrange a sentry guard. President Jiang Shuhua and Vice President Lian Jun sat in this temporary command center, and the four hall masters gathered people separately, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Rows of wooden fences, traps have been placed, simple watchtowers have been erected quickly, and eight huge bed crossbows have even been erected around the main tent where the core of the leader Jiang Shuhua and others are located.

Due to the dense woods, the vegetation around the temporary camp was cleared and a deep trench was dug, and all the gangs were not allowed to light fires, but could only eat dry food, water and wine.

Xuanyi chewed on the dry bread in a small bite, and his eyes were like electricity.
