After collecting the gold, Li Kang's task of coming to Fuxi Town is half completed, and the remaining half is naturally to conquer the Golden Clan that occupies the Golden Lake.

The new camp of the First Brigade was located in a small valley three miles northwest of Fuxi Town, and the original temporary camp outside the north gate was too small to accommodate 2,000 people.

The new barracks had to start from scratch, and naturally they could not just choose a position as before.

Now the valley is carefully selected by Yue Fei, surrounded by mountains on three sides, only one side can enter and exit, as long as the gate is repaired, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are mountain springs in the mountains, and they are not afraid of being cut off from the outside.

"It's just General Yue, although this kind of terrain is not easy to break, but it is easy to be trapped by people from the outside, if the enemy comes to besiege and does not attack, what can be done about it?" Li Kang asked suspiciously, "At that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to run away if I want to, and I will only be starved to death, right?

"If our army is trapped to death and there are no reinforcements to save us, then even if we can run away for a while, where can we run to? What is the future of this world? In this world, after all, we are just a group of outsiders, and without the lord, we are just a group of rootless duckweed, unable to stand up. Compared to the transfer to preserve the living force, settle here, and drag down a part of the enemy army, so that the lord can get the opportunity to transfer, the final general feels that the value is greater!" Yue Fei said without humility or arrogance, "Moreover, this is also a choice made according to the current situation, after he grows stronger, it will naturally be different!"

Li Kang nodded and didn't say anything more.

......

On March 33 of the second year of Huaxia, this day is the most important day of the year for the Golden Nine Divisions, and it is the day to worship the great Golden Lake God.

On this day, the people of the eight branches of the main vein, which are usually separated from the eight directions, will only pass the lottery and leave a small number of people to watch the house, and the rest, regardless of men, women and children, will gather to participate in this grand ceremony.

In the sacrificial ceremony, in addition to the sacrifice of the nine clans presided over by the patriarch of the main vein to unify the nine tribes to the lake god, the people of the gold tribe themselves will also prepare some personal small items to worship the lake god, but this is not counted as a big festival, only as a personal and family sacrifice.

The Golden Clan attaches great importance to the small sacrifice, even if they are poor, they will grit their teeth and prepare a shining treasure, and if the family is rich, the Golden Clan can make a small sacrifice at any time, but most ordinary people will choose to sacrifice a small sacrifice on the day of the big festival.

It was also on this day that the officers and men of the 1st Brigade, which had been operating a few days earlier, finally began to operate.

Originally, when they had the idea of fighting the Golden Clan, everyone had a great disagreement over whether to defeat each one or take advantage of the fact that they were all gathered together.

Needless to say, the reason for supporting each defeat is that you naturally don't have to face many enemies at the same time, the chances of winning are high, and you are also safe.

Those who support the fight are not all megalomaniacs, brainless and radical, and their reasons are also very sufficient, and each defeat cannot guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net, and it is easy to startle the snake, so that the enemy can get the news and be prepared, so that the battle will be even more difficult to fight. Besides, the advantage of centralized solution is that you can catch them off guard, and you don't have to worry that they will get the news in advance and drill into the mountains and forests and play guerrilla games with you, which is too disgusting.

In the end, Li Kang made the final decision and supported the latter. The reason is not what they said, but they are afraid that after they get the news in advance, they will transfer the gold away, and when the time comes, they will find a place to bury it, such a big forest, where can Li Kang find it?

Without gold, even if the gold clan is destroyed, the meaning will be greatly reduced, is it really to liberate the toiling masses!

As a result, the Golden Nine Divisions were able to gather together on this day with peace of mind.

The Nine Golden Divisions are located in eight directions around the Golden Lake, the main vein is located in the southeast, there are two branch veins in the southwest, and one in each other direction, and the location is not very far from the Golden Lake, but the area of the Golden Lake is very large - there are hundreds of square kilometers - and the position of their sacrifice is fixed, located a little east of the south.

Therefore, the First Brigade had a clear destination, and it did not need to wander around like a headless fly, it was easy to avoid the three branches in the southwest and due south directions, and directly interspersed near the sacrificial site, and quietly completed the semi-encirclement, and the twenty tiger squat cannons carried were also in place.

And the Golden Clan was in the midst of a frenzied primitive religious ritual and couldn't extricate themselves, plus there had been no major incidents for hundreds of years, and no one had noticed that the danger was approaching.

"What the hell are these natives doing, they don't even have a single sentry arranged? It seems that they are overestimating them!" said Zhang Xutuo (a famous general at the end of the Sui Dynasty), the commander of the 12th Regiment, in a good mood, you know, before this, he had always been a representative of supporting the fight against everything, and now it seems that his choice is undoubtedly wise.

"Hehe, I heard the lord say that the natives everywhere are basically virtuous and devout to the gods. At this critical moment, they all expect to be able to 'bathe' a little more divine grace? It's too late to pray, how can anyone be willing to stand guard and stand guard!" Gao Chu, commander of the first battalion of the 12th Regiment, said disdainfully, "Your Excellency, look at it! I bet that the commander will definitely choose to explode the chrysanthemums of these people when they kneel and pout their butts!"

"What kind of meat are you talking about?" Zhang Xutuo scolded with a smile, he admired Gao Chu very much for his big personality on the surface, but in fact he was rough and fine, not to mention that Gao Chu was also a veteran and was born in the Sui Army.

"Hey, hey, hey..."Gao Chu touched the back of his head a little 'honestly', but forgot that he was wearing a helmet, only touched the cold iron bump, and put his hand down in embarrassment.

"It's going to be a treasure!" Zhang Xutuo pointed at Gao Chu helplessly and whispered.

However, Gao Chu didn't care at all, but frowned at his deputy, and his deputy, the deputy commander of the battalion, was Luo Shixin, who died young in history, and was just sixteen years old at this time.

This kind of intimacy is like the attitude of the elders towards their own juniors, and the other officers who looked directly at it were stunned for a while, but it was a pity that the conditions at the beginning of the high school were too good to be envious, and even the deputy commander of the 12th regiment, Qin Qiong (Qin Shubao), was speechless.

As a result, Gao Chu was really right, and soon, the sound of artillery came from the direction of the 11th regiment where Yue Fei was personally seated.

Just when the old Chaoyan was jumping and his emotions were at the climax, the patriarch of the main vein of the Golden Clan shouted violently, chattering a lot, dancing to the old Chaoyan, and singing at the clansmen, tossing for a long time, suddenly thinking that he sensed something, screamed happily, took the lead and knelt down towards the lake, and then just like dominoes, hulala, all the nearly 5,000 natives on the scene all shouted and knelt down, bangbangbang, muttering and praying in his mouth, the old Gao who pouted his buttocks, and his attitude was as pious as he was.

Unfortunately, they thought this was the beginning of happiness, but they didn't expect it to be doom.

"Put!" Yue Fei's raised right hand slammed into his command.

"Release!" the cannon roared, and the artillerymen, who had been on call for a long time, immediately entered the state.

"Boom, boom!"

The shelling began, and twenty tiger squatting guns roared and tilted their shells at the crowd from both directions.
