Chapter 141: Preparation of the Parties

Yan Rong personally led the troops to the direction of the Cold Spring Mining Area, he had been planning for this operation for many years, and now it was finally time to harvest.

Yan Rong was accompanied by two people, namely Wei Liao, the big boss of Panshi Village, and Han Zhang, the big boss of Hussar Village, whose duty was to assist Yan Rong in completing the task of seizing the Hanquan mining area as a partial general.

In this operation, Yan Rong led 2,000 soldiers and 1,000 vassals, a total of 3,000 troops, and also included 500 iron cavalry from the hussar village. With such a strong combat power and internal cooperation, Yan Rong has great confidence in this operation.

In order not to be discovered by Cai's troops, they extinguished their torches and approached the mining area in the dark before approaching the Cold Spring Mining Area. When he saw the signal of the Ma army, Yan Rong immediately ordered the troops to speed up their pace.

The bright red blood moon had slowly risen, covering the earth with a faint layer of blood, and Yan Rong's troops were already about to reach the South Gate Fortress of the Cold Spring Mining Area under this faint moonlight.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the grass in the darkness.

"Who?" Yan Rong asked in a deep voice.

"It's me!" Ma Jun slowly walked out of the darkness, he looked at Yan Rong and said with an ugly face.

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to pick us up in the fortress?" Yan Rong saw that the person was Ma Jun, and his heart suddenly sank, I was afraid that the situation would change.

"Alas, it's hard to put it into words! The fortress is lost!" Ma Jun did not hide it from Yan Rong, obviously his relationship with Yan Rong was not ordinary.

"What, Cai's reinforcements arrived first?" Yan Rong's face also became ugly, if Cai's reinforcements took the gate fortress first, then wouldn't his arrangements for so many years be in vain.

"It's not Cai's reinforcements, it's an unexpected person!" Ma Jun shook his head, he stared straight at Yan Rong and asked in a deep voice, "Have you sent another person to the mining area as an undercover agent?"

Yan Rong's face sank, and he asked suspiciously, "Why do you ask that?"

"I just want to know if there is one?" Ma Jun stared at him fiercely, as if he didn't know the answer and swore not to give up.

"We are brothers, can't I still trust you?With you here, how can I send someone else over?" Yan Rong knew that something must have happened in it, which made his younger brother distrust him.

Ma Jun, or should be called Yan Jun, looked at Yan Rong's eyes fixedly, trying to see some clues from them, but Yan Rong's eyes were only sincere, just like when he took himself to the back mountain to play when he was a child, there was still a faint trace of care in it.

Yan Jun took a deep breath, then frowned and asked, "After I left the Black Stone Village, did I recruit a new person named Qin Tian in the village?"

"Qin Tian?" Yan Rong frowned and thought about it carefully, and then replied firmly: "There has never been a person named Qin Tian in the Black Stone Village, I can be sure of this. ”

"That's weird, Cai Qi, who escorted them over, said to me, this Qin Tian and his three brothers were spies in Heishi Village that they caught in Cai Yi City, I thought they were people you sent!" Ma Jun's brows furrowed even more, he couldn't figure it out, what was the origin of these Qin Tian people?

"There is no such thing, I have never heard the name Qin Tian, they are definitely not our people. Yan Rong was also very puzzled by Qin Tian, who suddenly appeared, and he didn't know who they were.

"Could it be that this Qin Tian has ruined our good deeds?"

"That's right, the overall situation in the mining area has been decided, Cai Hezhong's old ghost was attacked and killed by me, and Zhong Li Mo and Ram Shen were also captured by me, but at this moment, that Qin Tian suddenly killed me with someone, caught me off guard, and took the opportunity to occupy the gate fortress. It's really hateful!" Yan Jun gritted his teeth and scolded, he was so angry that he also affected the injury, so that he couldn't hold back a "poof!" sound for a while, and a mouthful of reverse blood spurted out.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Rong quickly stepped forward to support him and asked with concern.

Yan Jun stood still, wiped the residual blood on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said, "It's okay, when I attacked and killed Cai Hezhong's old ghost, I was accidentally attacked by that old guy in Zhongli Mo." ”

"Uh, I don't know what this brother is called?" Wei Liao followed behind Yan Rong and listened for a long time before he stepped forward and asked.

Yan Rong glanced at Wei Liao behind him, and then at Han Zhang, who was also looking at this side, frowned and thought about it before saying: "Since the matter has come to this, I will not hide it from the two masters, this is Yan's younger brother Yan Jun, who assumed the name of Ma Jun many years ago and infiltrated the Cai family as an undercover agent. ”

"Oh, the original Yan Er is in charge, what is the current situation in this mining area, can you elaborate?" Han Zhang asked with a little surprise when he heard this.

Yan Jun glanced at Yan Rong, Yan Rong nodded and introduced to Yan Jun: "This is the big boss of the Hussar Village, Han Zhang, the big boss of Han Zhang, and the one over there is the big boss of Wei Liao and Wei of Panshi Village, we have now formed an alliance to deal with the Cai clan together, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt." ”

Only then did Yan Jun speak: "There are mainly two forces in the mining area now, one is the gang of Zhongli Mo and Gongyang Shen of the Mining Alliance who have just been crippled by my troops, and the other is Qin Tian and Tiezhu who came out of nowhere. Although they now occupy the mining area, from what I know, Cai's reinforcements should be coming soon, and now they are facing the dilemma of being attacked from both sides, and they are already in a certain defeat. The key now is to see which side can break through the fortress gate first and seize the initiative and opportunity. ”

"How many troops do they have?" Wei Liao was more concerned about the enemy's strength, which was the key to victory.

"As far as I know, their combined strength is only 2,000 men, and they are all miscellaneous soldiers with little training. Yan Jun said with a little self-deprecation, he was driven out by such a group of miscellaneous soldiers.

"Oh, only two thousand miscellaneous fish, if that's the case, then it's easy to do, even if they have the advantage of the situation, they can't stop our attack. Wei Liao's heart was relieved when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face, it is not too difficult to deal with this kind of trash fish, which of them has no experience in cleaning up trash fish? This is the good trick of the Shanzhai Alliance!

"In that case, let's act as soon as possible, don't let the Cai clan take the lead!" Hearing that Qin Tian was leading a miscellaneous fish army, Han Zhang couldn't help but urge, such a fish belly basically didn't have much combat power, and capturing such a fortress was basically a matter of hand-to-hand capture.

Yan Rong nodded and ordered, "Leave immediately!"

When Qin Tian was carefully studying the fortifications of the fortress with Ram Shen, the fat man Yan Qiu suddenly sent Li Xian over to report on the battle situation. When he heard that Yan Qiu led the team and wiped out the five hundred pioneers of Cai's reinforcements, Ram Shen was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close together.

Ram Shen has dealt with the Cai clan for many years, and he is very clear about the combat power of the Cai clan's descendants, not to mention the trash fish unit that has just been formed, even the clan team that has been trained for many years cannot easily eliminate such a huge team, not to mention that Cai Lin in the tie is still a master who can release his energy.

Seeing the shocked looks on the faces of Ram Shen and Zhongli Mo, Li Xian felt very happy, and he said very proudly: "Not only did we annihilate them all, but only a few of our soldiers were slightly injured, not even a single one was killed!"

Ram Shen and Zhong Li Mo looked at each other, they didn't know how to describe their mood at this time, when did Cai's descendant troops become so easy to eliminate?

Qin Tian nodded at Li Xian, who had a smug face, and said, "Well, you guys did a good job, what else did Yan Qiu send you over?"

"Boss Yan asked the small one, send you a batch of large bed crossbows for city defense and some strong crossbows for soldiers to use to strengthen the defense of the fortress. Moreover, Boss Yan also organized an army of coolies and sent them to the boss's subordinates, although these coolies are not good at fighting, but they are good at helping to carry things and strengthen the fortifications. And during the big battle, they can also help to wind the crossbow arrows, we have tested it ourselves in the battle just now, and the effect is very good. ”

Li Xian relayed Yan Qiu's words to Qin Tian, Qin Tian nodded after hearing this, he was very satisfied with the fat man's arrangement, they were short of manpower and defensive equipment here!

"Oh! Boss Yan also said that he asked Uncle Tie to take the craftsmen back to the craftsman first, and he said that he asked the craftsmen to help us build some more large instruments for defending the city, so that they could be used to replace the broken ones in the war. Li thought about it for a moment and added.

Qin Tian nodded again, he was still very relieved about the fat man's arrangement, it seemed that the defense of the North Gate Fortress didn't have to worry too much about himself. With the fat man over there, there shouldn't be any mistakes, it seems that he still focuses his energy on the next battle of the South Gate Fortress, after all, the Copycat Alliance is not so easy to deal with.

After Li Xian completed his task, he immediately led the team back to the Beimen Fortress, where various constructions were still in full swing.

Li Xian looked at the rows of giant bed crossbows on the head of the city, and was immediately shocked, your sister, there are so many bed crossbows that it is simply frenzied, and the people who wind it are almost no longer even have a place to stay.

"Old ...... Boss, how many bed crossbows are there in this city?" Li Xian quietly approached the fat man Yan Qiu and asked him stammering.

"Oh, it's not much, it's only a hundred!" said the fat man, seemingly nonchalantly.

"One...... One hundred?" Li Xian was already speechless, each bed crossbow could shoot three giant arrows with the thickness of an arm at a time, and a hundred could fire three hundred such arrows at the same time. The terrifying scene of a hundred bed crossbows firing at the same time makes people's scalps tingle just to think about.

"Uh, Boss Yan, you asked me to send thirty bed crossbows to Boss Qin, but I left nearly a hundred of them, in case Boss Qin knew...... Uh, this ...... "Li Xian didn't know how to say this.

"What are you afraid of? It doesn't matter if Qin Tian knows, he has two masters of iron pillar and iron egg on his side, but we don't have any of them here! Don't leave more bed crossbows, how can we deal with Cai's masters? Besides, I have already sent him thirty bed crossbows, and originally according to the plan, one fortress was only equipped with twenty, and I have already sent him more than the quota, what else is he not satisfied with?" The fat man's face was obviously surprisingly thick, and he didn't pay any attention to this matter.

"By the way, how are the hook nets I asked you to prepare?" The fat man seemed to suddenly remember something, so he turned his face to Li Xian and asked.

"Back to the boss, those crochet craftsmen are in a hurry, and Uncle Tie said that it won't take long to make it. The little one tried it himself, and the power of these nets was great, and those hooks were densely embedded in the nets, and once someone fell into the net, he was allowed to enter and not get out. Hmph!" Thinking back to those dense net hooks, Li Xian got goosebumps, and the people who fell into the net, the more he struggled, the deeper the hook became, and that feeling was chilling to think about.

"And what's going on with those "riding thorns"?"

"Uncle Tie has already made a batch, I have already brought it back, boss, do you want to take a look. Li Xian ordered someone to pull a truck over, and then asked Yan Qiu.

"No need, I believe in Uncle Tie's craftsmanship, you directly order someone to scatter them in the grass in front of the fortress, remember, be careful not to step on them stupidly. The fat man reminded as he gave the order.

In fact, the "riding spike" is a weapon specially used against cavalry, it is made of several spikes fused together, shaped into a ball, throw it to the ground, no matter which side lands, it will have one or two spikes pointing to the sky. Once the cavalry stepped on these nails, the hooves would be injured, and if the cavalry was still running at high speed, then the consequence would be that the man would ride on his back, so this was an extremely effective way to deal with the cavalry, which could greatly limit the cavalry's play.

"By the way, don't forget to arrange some people to dig a little more trap before and after the fortress!"

"Boss, is that kind of small pit really useful?" Li Xian was a little unconvinced, could that kind of small pit, which was only a little bigger than the legs of a riding beast, really have any effect?

"Isn't that? Think about it for yourself, what kind of situation will it be if a high-speed riding beast steps into a pit? Hmph! You have a broken leg and a person is over, believe it or not?" the fat man glared at Li Xian and asked.

"Letter...... Of course I believe it!" said Li Xian with a wry smile.

Seeing Boss Yan's pensive look and didn't know what bad ideas he was thinking, Li Xian couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for the upcoming Cai Hejian and others. Whoever you provoke is not good, but you want to provoke Boss Yan, and you will have to suffer in the next life. Hey!

Cai He led his subordinates and slowly rushed towards the Cold Spring Mining Area, he had been fighting for many years, and he was not worried about the battles he might encounter, and there were no troops around Cai Yi that could make him feel jealous.
