Cai Hezhong endured the pain and fled in the direction of the mining area with his only three remaining guards. He knew that only by rushing to the mining area and transferring back the nest clearing troops led by Ma Jun could he have a chance to turn the tables.

He hadn't escaped far before he saw a troop coming towards him from afar, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be the rescue team of the Ma Army, and he was immediately overjoyed.

However, when the troops approached, he was surprised to find that the number of troops in the Ma army had been reduced by more than half.

"Ma Jun, why is there so many people in your army?" Cai Hezhong asked Ma Jun, who hurriedly ran to him to plead guilty.

"My lord, it's hard to explain this matter!" Ma Jun said to Cai Hezhong with a helpless expression.

"It's hard to say what happened, why didn't you send troops back to defend and support for a long time, do you want to rebel?"

Cai Hezhong was furious, not only did the horse army not send people back to support for a long time, but when he came back, the troops were actually reduced by half, and he dared to say nothing to himself.

It's not that the lowly post has been delaying in sending troops back to defend and support, but the humble post has just learned the adult's order from Cai Yu's mouth, and the lowly post didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately led his troops to come back to help, and the lord can ask Cai Yu about this matter by himself. Ma Jun immediately showed a look of being wronged, and put the responsibility on Cai Yu.

"Cai Yu, come on, is what Ma Jun said true?" Cai Hezhong turned his head and glared at Cai Yu who was standing beside Ma Jun.

Cai Yu was already sweating profusely in panic at this time, he didn't know how to answer with a frightened face, but opened his mouth in a daze and said, "Big... Adults, damn the villains. Damn the villain!"

While saying this, Cai Yu knelt down to Cai Hezhong and kowtowed desperately for mercy.

"What the hell is going on?" Cai Hezhong's face became even more ugly at this time, Cai Yu, as the captain of his personal guard, usually performed well, but he didn't expect to be such a wrecked appearance at this time.

When the villain went to inform Lord Ma Jun, he was anxious to rescue him, so he personally went to the mine to find Lord Ma Jun. Unexpectedly, he lost his way in the mine, delaying the rescue time, the villain deserves death, please punish the adult!" Cai Yu knew whether his little life could be saved, it depended on whether the adult would remember the old love.

When Cai Hezhong heard this, a wave of blood suddenly surged into his heart, "Poof!", he spurted out a mouthful of blood again.

didn't bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, he stepped forward and kicked Cai Yu to the ground, and then stepped on it a few times, scolding while stepping on it: "You waste! I can't do anything if you can't do something, what's the use of keeping you?"

Cai Yu didn't dare to say anything, let alone resist, he just got up again after falling down, and kowtowed to Cai Hezhong one by one.

After stepping on Cai Yu a few times, Cai Hezhong's anger seemed to have subsided slightly, he stared at Cai Yu who was still kowtowing on the ground with hatred, and then said angrily: "You waste can't get up, after I clean up Zhong Li Mo and Ram Shen, you go to the family torture hall to receive the punishment yourself!"

"Yes! Thank you for not killing!" Cai Yu was overjoyed, he knew that his little life had finally been saved.

Cai Hezhong was no longer in the mood to pay attention to Cai Yu, he turned his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked Ma Jun coldly, "Ma Jun, are you guilty?"

"My lord, I am guilty of my humble duties!" Ma Jun glanced up at Cai Hezhong, and then hurriedly bowed his head and replied.

"Oh, then tell me what your guilt is?" Cai Hezhong asked noncommittally.

"The lowly duty did not complete the task of clearing the nest mining alliance, and let them escape, causing such serious consequences, the lowly duty is guilty!"

"You are also a waste, I asked you to clear the mine alliance of Li Mo and the others, what did you do, why did they escape from the mine? Since they all escaped from the mine, what are you doing in the mine?

The more Cai Hezhong spoke, the colder his tone became, and the thick killing intent had already spread, as if he was going to freeze everything around him, which made people feel cold.

"My lord, there is no such intention of being lowly! My lord doesn't know that in addition to the mine alliance of Zhongli Mo, there is also an extremely strong force in the mine. This force has only recently appeared, and the lowly officials are not aware of it, and it is this force that has helped the Mining Alliance, which has given the Mining Alliance a chance to escape from the mine. Moreover, this force also took the initiative to ambush and intercept the lowly troops halfway, so that the lowly duty could not return in time. Ma Jun saw that Cai Hezhong seemed to have murderous intent, so he hurriedly and skillfully pushed the responsibility for his dereliction of duty onto Qin Tian and his group.

"Oh, how come I didn't know there was such a force?" Cai Hezhong obviously wouldn't believe Ma Jun's words.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Cai Yu, when Wang Zhong led the team back to help, he was indeed ambushed, and there were heavy casualties, and Cai Yu also saw the ambush scene with his own eyes. ”

"Why don't you come over quickly, is what Ma Jun said true?" Cai Hezhong asked angrily at Cai Yu, who was hiding on the side.

"Back to my lord, the villain did see the scene of the ambush, and Wang Zhong's troops suffered great casualties!" Cai Yu didn't dare to hide anything at this time, he told everything he knew.

"What about Cai Ren, why don't you see Cai Ren and his troops?" Cai Hezhong looked around and didn't find Cai Ren's figure, so he opened his mouth and asked Ma Jun.

"Uh, I don't know what to do, but when I arrived at mine No. 1, it was empty. However, judging from the weapons and equipment used by Qin Tian and them when they ambushed Wang Zhong's troops, I'm afraid... ”

"I'm afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid that Cai Ren and their troops have been annihilated by Qin Tian and them!" Ma Jun secretly glanced at Cai Hezhong and said cautiously.

At this time, Cai Hezhong had been a little numb by the successive blows, he stared at the Ma Jun in front of him tightly, gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is Qin Tian?"

"Lord Hui, Qin Tian is a newcomer recently sent from Caiyi, and it is said that he is a spy from Heishizhai who was caught. ”

"Black Stone Village's spies?Qin Tian?" Cai Hezhong didn't have any impression of this person, but since he knew that he was from Black Stone Village, it was enough.

"Where is this man now?"

"Back to my lord's words, when I led the team over, I found that the smelter and the craftsman supervisor had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and from the humble position, I am afraid that this was done by Qin Tian and them. ”

"What? The smelter and the craftsman prison have fallen?" Cai Hezhong was taken aback, that was the hard work he had worked hard for several years!

"Hurry up and lead the troops back, and you must take back the smelter and the craftsman's supervisor!" Cai Hezhong immediately ordered Ma Jun.

"My lord, now that Zhongli Mo and Ram Shen are tired, they think that they should take the opportunity to clean up the Mining Alliance first, lest they come back to their senses, and then turn back to deal with Qin Tian and them. Ma Jun did not immediately implement Cai Hezhong's order, but seriously persuaded Cai Hezhong.

This is the first time that Ma Jun dares to go against his will, although Cai Hezhong is very angry in his heart, but now that his cronies have almost lost, it is not appropriate to embarrass Ma Jun too much, lest he turn his face.

So Cai Hezhong pretended to think seriously for a while, and then said to Ma Jun seemingly inadvertently: "What you said also makes sense, anyway, the north gate on the other side is also blocked by our Cai family's reinforcements, Qin Tian can't fly out with their wings, let's deal with the old fox of Ram Shen first!"

"What?Cai's reinforcements?" Ma Jun's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked Cai Hezhong.

"Hmph! The Cold Spring Mining Area is so important to our Cai Clan, how can we not attach importance to it? I have already asked Cai Yi to send more manpower a few days ago, and if you calculate carefully, the reinforcements should have almost arrived outside the gate!" Cai Hezhong said with a smug smile.

Ma Jun's heart also became anxious at this time, now must not let Cai's reinforcements enter the mining area first, otherwise the big thing will not be good, it is better to let the people of the Shanzhai Alliance come in as soon as possible.

"My lord, let's hurry up and chase after it, otherwise they will run away in the end!" Ma Jun anxiously urged.

"Hmm, you asked someone to find me a car, I want to take a break in the car!" Cai Hezhong nodded in agreement with Ma Jun's plan.

"Yes, sir!"

Ma Jun immediately ordered someone to find a car to come over, Cai Yu and the only three remaining guards immediately helped Cai Hezhong into the car, and Ma Jun also ordered his own personal guards to personally escort Cai Hezhong.

The delay here gave Ram Shen a chance to escape, and he led the team to quickly retreat in the direction of the fortress at the south gate.

The Ma army ordered the troops to pursue them relentlessly, but in the end they could not prevent Ram Shen from leading his troops to attack the fortress and confront it with the advantage of the fortress.

As early as when the Ma army ordered the team to pursue the Mine Alliance, Qin Tian knew that something was wrong, if the Mine Alliance was easily destroyed by the Ma Army, then the next target of the Ma Army must be himself. Moreover, the collapse of the Mining Alliance was very unfavorable to the troops who would deal with the Shanzhai Alliance in the future, so Qin Tian decided that he must avoid this worst-case outcome.

He glanced in the direction of the fortress from a distance, then immediately turned his head and hurried in the direction of the smelter and the master's prison.

When he returned to the smelter, Yan Qiu and Tie Zhu were in a meeting, and when they saw Qin Tian returning, the fat man Yan Qiu immediately said to Qin Tian: "You came back just in time, there is a new situation!"

Qin Tian wanted to immediately lead the team to rescue the Mining Alliance, but he didn't expect a new situation to appear, he saw Yan Qiu's solemn face, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's the new situation?"

"I sent Liu Hai with a team to attack the North Gate Fortress, although the operation was very smooth. But Liu Hai found that there were rows of torches in the distance, rushing in the direction of the village. ”

"Is it the team of the Shanzhai Alliance?" Qin Tian asked.

"This is the strange place, if the other party is a team of the Copycat Alliance, it should be quietly approached! How can they come over with torches so openly?"

"What do you mean ... Cai's reinforcements?" Qin Tian's expression also became more and more solemn, it was already very difficult to deal with only the troops of the Shanzhai Alliance, and now that Cai's reinforcements have arrived again, how can this battle be fought?

Yan Qiu nodded and said, "I have been studying with Uncle Ye for a long time, and only this is the most likely!"

"Now is not the time to research, yes and no. What we should do now is to immediately occupy the North Gate Fortress and strengthen the fortifications above. Qin Tian saw that the fat man still had the leisure to sit here and study, and he immediately became angry.

"Qin Tian, don't be angry, I have already asked Team Yan, Team Qin, and Uncle Ye's craftsman team to go over to strengthen the fortifications. You can rest assured of this!" Yan Qiu saw that Qin Tian was about to get angry, and hurriedly said his arrangement.

"How can we let Uncle Ye's craftsmen also go to the battlefield? They are treasures, we can't afford to lose!" Qin Tian is still very clear about the role of craftsmen, and even the Cai family is reluctant to slaughter craftsmen at will, which shows how big the role of craftsmen is.

This is what Uncle Ye meant, he said that the craftsmen are familiar with the operation skills of city defense weapons, and they all have the strength to play the role of these city defense weapons. I think it's good to be able to help defend the fortress as long as we don't let them go out of the city to fight, after all, we have too few troops at our disposal. ”

Yan Qiu told Tie Ye and his own opinions, and in the face of a large number of enemy reinforcements, he himself felt very pressured.

Qin Tian thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "What you said is also reasonable, now the Ma army is going to attack the Mining Alliance, it seems that the troops of the Shanzhai Alliance have arrived near the South Gate Fortress, we must not let the Ma army succeed so easily." Now I'm going to lead the team to rescue the Mine Alliance, and the North Gate Fortress will be handed over to you!"

"No problem, the North Gate Fortress will be handed over to me!You can go with confidence!" Yan Qiu nodded solemnly in response.
