The waves rolled in, hitting the cliffs and rocks hard, splashing countless waves and making loud rumbling sounds.
A sea-going ship came slowly, exuding a powerful force under the warm sunshine, and gradually docked. Countless people jumped off the ship and quickly marched forward to form an array, waiting solemnly to cover the following teams as they disembarked.
On a ship, Qin Huaidao stood on the deck and observed the surrounding terrain. Two huge islands were connected, with an open flat land in the middle, forming a valley. According to the prisoner's confession, some distance further along the valley was the Fulgen Silver Mine.
The Fugen Silver Mine is special. Except for the left-behind troops, outsiders are not allowed to approach. Anyone who accidentally approaches will be killed. There are no docks or ships nearby. Ships will only be sent when necessary. It is difficult for outsiders to discover the secrets here. If it were not recorded in Hirado documents
, Qin Huaidao didn't know there was a silver mine here either.
"Uncle, I'm going to get off the boat first." Luo Ying said quickly when he saw everyone in Langying getting off the boat.
Qin Huaidao agreed casually and told a flag soldier behind him: "Send the order, the village guard team will stay behind to protect the loot and guard the ships to prevent the prisoners from escaping or destroying them. Anyone who finds it will be killed without mercy."
"Obey the order." The flag soldiers hurriedly ran to raise the flag.
Qin Huaidao picked up the two maces placed next to him and carried them behind his back. He hurried downstairs and boarded a smaller boat ashore. He quickly stepped forward and said: "Speed up the march. The Wolf Camp sent a small team to spread out on both sides and walk along the mountains and forests."
, there is no need to notify the scouts if they are found, they will be killed directly without mercy."
"Follow the order!" Luo Ying responded and quickly dispatched his troops.
The two thousand troops were running forward in a long column, in an orderly manner, with uniform steps. Qin Huaidao was walking at the front of the team and saw less obvious carriage marks on the ground. The distance between the wheels was not large. It should be a cart pushed by people.
But it can leave traces on hard ground, which shows that it is not light.
Running all the way, moving like the wind.
Soon, a team of nearly a hundred people suddenly rushed out from the front. The leader was holding a long knife and wearing armor. He looked majestic. He waved his big hand and shouted: "Who is it?"
After saying this, the soldier behind him took two steps forward, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, as if he was about to take action.
"Array up!" Luo Ying gave the order directly without any nonsense.
The people from Wolf Camp quickly changed from column to horizontal column, forming five rows and rushing forward. After entering the shooting range, Luo Ying shouted: "Stop!"
Everyone stopped and stood in unison.
"shoot!"
Following Luo Ying's roar of anger, the two rows in front quickly moved their machine guns and launched crossbow bolts, intertwining in the void, forming a deadly net that pounced directly on their opponents.
Not to be outdone, the opponents fired arrows one after another, but the arrows were not powerful enough and were inferior to the strong bows of the Tang army. The arrows landed two or three meters in front of everyone.
But the crossbow arrows far surpassed the opponent's arrows in terms of speed, strength and range.
"Puff, puff—"
Crossbow arrows penetrated the target's body, accompanied by screams one after another.
In the blink of an eye, most of the 100 people fell. Before the opponent could draw their bows and arrows again and counterattack, more crossbow bolts were fired at them, with an aura that penetrated everything.
One hundred people were unable to withstand two rounds of crossbow bolts and were all shot dead. The surviving ones fell to the ground wailing.
"Go up and hit the target!" Luo Ying was full of energy and fighting spirit.
The people from the Wolf Camp rushed forward, drew their swords and struck those who were not dead. Soon the wailing sound disappeared and the army continued to advance. The 100-man resistance just now failed to cause any waves, and their morale became even higher.
The group continued to rush forward and soon discovered that there were many thatched houses in front of them. A rapid warning sound sounded, and then a team of nearly a thousand people rushed out with murderous intent. The first general rode a war horse and shouted loudly with a long knife in his hand.
: "Who is coming? Tell me your name."
Qin Huaidao understood this simple query, but was too lazy to answer. He ordered: "The tiger camp engages in a frontal battle. The wolf camp spreads out and attacks from a distance from both wings. Surround three and one is missing. Kill them!"
A roar filled with fighting spirit.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Huaidao rushed forward and took out his two maces from behind, one in each hand. When he saw the enemy general coming towards him with his sword, he ducked and shoveled over with a sliding shovel.
"Buzz——"
There was a burst of air, and the enemy general's long sword passed over Qin Huaidao's head, drawing a line of fire with great force and speed, as fast as thunder.
But Qin Huaidao calculated the angle accurately and without any panic, he hit the horse's front hooves hard with his mace.
The mace is polygonal, thick, hard, and heavy. It is the most lethal when used to hit people. In addition, the edges and corners are sharp. The powerful force acts on one point through the sharp edges and corners, and the lethality is even more terrifying.
"Xilulu!"
The war horse stung, its bones were smashed and broken, it let out a painful scream, stumbled to the ground, and the people on the war horse were also thrown into the air.
Qin Huaidao rushed forward, jumped up high, and smashed it with his mace.
The other person is in the air, there is no way to use it, and there is no way to avoid looking.
"Crack!" With a sound, the spine was broken.
"Ah——" A heart-rending scream sounded.
The next moment, the general fell heavily to the ground. His face was pale and he was unable to get up. He tilted his head and stared at the approaching Qin Huaidao with a pair of cold eyes, asking: "Who are you?"
Qin Huaidao didn't answer. He was about to kill him when he came in front of him.
The other party panicked and said quickly: "I am a member of the royal family. Kill me and the royal family will not let you go."
"puff--"
Qin Huaidao flew up and kicked the opponent in the head, breaking his neck and killing him on the spot.
There is no room for nonsense in a battlefield, otherwise you will be the one to die.
After he succeeded, Qin Huaidao looked back and saw that the tiger camp was crushing them all the way up. The opponent was unable to fight back and retreated step by step. In addition, the wolf camp on both sides used repeated crossbows to attack. In a short time, more than half of the thousand people were killed or injured, and about five hundred were left.
He even lost his will to fight.
The battle quickly turned into a one-sided massacre.
Suddenly, another team of thousands of people rushed out, with cold expressions and fierce eyes, like a pack of wild wolves foraging for food. At first glance, they looked like elites from a hundred battles.
Qin Huaidao's eyes were sharp. Such a team dared to fight and fought hard. It would be very difficult to entangle them. Once entangled, the casualties would be huge. He quickly shouted: "Langying, listen to the order, use earth mines, and fight quickly."
Regardless of the Wolf Camp or the Tiger Camp, everyone in the Wolf Camp had five earth mines hanging on their bodies. Everyone was not used to the deadly weapon of earth mines. During the battle, they did not think of it. The Wolf Camp, who was shooting, heard the order and put away the repeating crossbow.
Take out the earth mine, light it with a fire stick, and throw it up with all your strength.
"boom--"
A terrible explosion sounded, like thunder.
The enemies who rushed up gathered together, and the explosion and flames instantly swallowed up several people. The pottery pot was blown to pieces, and countless pottery fragments were shot out, hitting those nearby. Although it was not fatal, the pain was unstoppable and blood gushed out.
"Ah——" Many people let out unbearable screams.
But it was quickly covered up by the explosions of countless earth mines, and more people were blown away and injured.
This group of Japanese pirates had never seen such a murderous weapon before. They thought it was a sacred object and were so frightened that they retreated in panic.
The people in the Wolf Camp did not expect that the earth mine attack was so fierce. It killed hundreds of people in one round just now. Their eyes suddenly lit up and they became excited. They hid faster than the enemy was killed by a continuous crossbow. They took out the second grenade and lit it.
Throw hard towards crowded places.
"Boom boom boom!"
Explosions sounded one after another, causing thousands of reinforcements to flee, leaving corpses all over the ground.
Yuchi Baolin roared excitedly: "Brothers from Wolf Camp defeated the reinforcements for us. Brothers from Hu Camp, don't let Wolf Camp see the joke, just kill me -"
"kill!"
The soldiers from the Tiger Camp roared in unison, charging forward and striking fiercely, like tigers entering a herd of sheep.
"Wolf Camp, use the repeating crossbows to chase them!" Luo Ying was not to be outdone and commanded the team to rush forward.
Earthen mines and crossbows are timeless things for the Japanese country.
It’s a dimensionality reduction attack!
What's more, both the tiger and wolf battalions are built using the training methods of later generations of special forces. The eight sharp swords are opened and closed, which is most suitable for close-quarter casualties. The soldiers and horses of the two battalions press on them from three sides, and they are as powerful as breaking bamboo.
Qin Huaidao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, and quickly looked around, looking for possible reinforcements. The surrounding mountains and forests were silent, and there were no birds. Only the wind blew and shook the branches, but there was no human figure.
The battle ended after a while, and all two thousand Japanese defenders were killed.
Luo Yingxing hurriedly ran up: "Uncle, the battle is over. According to your explanation, no prisoners were taken. It is indeed a silver mine stationed by two thousand elite soldiers. Many cast silver ingots were found in many rooms, too many to count, and mines were also found.
, there are a large number of people responsible for mining inside, should we kill them?"
"Don't kill them, just keep them. As soon as we leave, the Japanese will take over the place again and continue mining. We will kill them again when the time comes." Qin Huaidao made a decision immediately.
Luo Ying's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "It makes sense, uncle can see far."
"Let's go and have a look." Qin Huaidao strode forward.
There were corpses all the way, and the ground was dyed red with blood. Qin Huaidao had seen too many wars, and his heart was as hard as iron. He was unmoved. He soon came to a larger thatched house with many simple wooden frames placed in it.
The shelves are filled with silver ingots of different sizes, but of high purity.
"The same goes for the rooms next to it." Luo Ying said as if he was offering a treasure.
Qin Huaidao nodded and checked one by one. He estimated that the total amount was nearly 10 million taels. This was a huge sum of money. Datang's tax revenue last year was only more than 20 million taels of silver. He warned: "Luo Ying, let the mining people help."
Move the silver and load it on the ship, let people watch it, and kill anyone who dares to hide it privately, and then send someone to see if there is any more silver in the mine."
"Follow the order." Luo Ying hurried away.
"Paulin!"
"exist!"
"You lead people to guard the surrounding areas to prevent enemy attacks and cover the loading of ships."
"Follow orders."
Yuchi Baolin knew the seriousness of the situation and quickly mobilized his troops to prepare defenses. The duck that had reached its beak would not be able to fly away.
