Because Feng County's troops are limited, except for the first mine that is being mined, there are soldiers guarding around it, and the other six mines only send soldiers to patrol regularly.

The six mines are not in a straight line, and the distance from the first mine to the sixth is ten miles long, and the journey through the rugged and winding mountain road is even longer, and it takes nearly half an hour to walk through it.

When they came to the sixth mine, Dong Canghai and more than 30 soldiers were lying on a small hillside.

Fang Ling looked at everyone from a distance, then got off the horse, asked Hao Tieniu to tie the horse, and walked to the hillside, Dong Canghai and the others saw Fang Ling coming, so they all got up and saluted, Fang Ling hurriedly made a boo gesture, and carefully lay down.

Looking down the hillside, I saw a scene of heat under the mine hundreds of meters away.

The sixth mine, the lowest iron and the largest, is exposed on the south side of the hill and can be seen only 30 centimeters down.

At this time, dozens of torches were inserted in the cracks of the stones at the foot of the mine, illuminating the place until dawn.

However, because it is surrounded by mountains, if it were not for soldiers patrolling here, it would not have been possible to find mining here in the county seat.

One by one, the thieves were digging the iron ore at the foot of the mountain with tools, and then someone picked the iron ore into an open space and placed it, and someone stuffed it into a special basket, and then another group of people carried it up the mountain road not far away.

The mining, picking, and transporting the mines, the division of labor is detailed, and the order is orderly, adding up to about a hundred people, in addition, there are also people in charge of guarding around, and each bandit is equipped with swords, guns, swords, and sticks as weapons. Moreover, in the place covered by the boulder bushes in the nearby mountain road, there were many bandits with bows and arrows, and the total number of them was nearly one hundred and fifty.

Fang Ling frowned slightly, the other party was really generous, it seemed that he must have figured out the strength of Feng County, the younger of these bandits was only 18 or 9 years old, they were all young and middle-aged, whether from the look or from the action, they were not something that the recruits could deal with.

Soon, his eyes focused on a middle-aged man, this man was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a disc face, wide and thick eyebrows, and piercing eyes, he was wearing a tiger skin coat, and a knife handle protruding from his back, and he was standing on a big rock at this time, although he did not say a word, but from that posture, he should be the leader of this gang of bandits.

Hao Tieniu had already tied his horse at this time, rushed over and lay on the side, holding the knife in one hand, and said angrily: "Your Highness, these bandits are too arrogant, they actually blatantly ran to grab iron ore, should we go and kill him by surprise!"

When he said this, the bloody men on the side were all fearless, and they all rubbed their hands together, and said in unison: "We are willing to go downhill with His Highness to kill the enemy!"

Although Fang Ling admired them very much for being a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers, but this was not the time to be impulsive, he pointed to the dense forest and said: "Do you know how many archers are ambushed there? These bandits have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and it is estimated that many of them are very good at archery. ”
