The moment the horse passed the rear group, Fang Xiaoyue jumped out from behind the saddle and punched one of the cavalrymen off the horse with a punch to the chest.
Next, he flew back and forth, dodging or deflecting a few arrows, and then pounced on them. His fists seemed to have been equipped with electric motors, slamming into those cavalrymen.
By the time Zhang Pingan and others mustered up the courage to rush down the hillside with their scimitars in hand, Fang Xiaoyue had already knocked all the remaining Beiyue Cavalry to the ground.
"See if there are any alive, and tie up those who are alive!"
Fang Xiaoyue gasped and gave the order.
No way, with his current level of integration, being able to do this is already the limit.
If there were a few more Beiyue Cavalry, the result would be hard to say.
After inspection by Zhang Pingan and others, only two Beiyue Cavalry were still alive.
Fang Xiaoyue's attack was too heavy before. As mentioned before, he can't do it lightly.
The most important thing is that in this battle, whether it was due to good luck or something, he frequently landed critical hits.
Even the two surviving Beiyue Cavalry were lying on the ground looking like they were breathing a sigh of relief.
"Where do you come from?"
Fang Xiaoyue grabbed a driver and asked.
The coachman was so frightened by the previous battle that his legs were trembling. Now when asked, he revealed his full identity.
It turns out that they are villagers from Bingguo Village under the jurisdiction of Huanghua Township. Since the land in Bingguo Village is relatively poor and cannot support many people, most of them in the village raise large livestock and make a living by driving mules and oxcarts.
No, he was captured by Beiyue Cavalry to transport food.
Since they were all homeless people from Tianya, Fang Xiaoyue did not make things difficult for them and asked them to drive the grain truck towards Xiaofeng Valley.
These grains must be transported home before they can be truly eaten. Otherwise, if someone accidentally bumps into the Beiyue Cavalry, they will be in big trouble.
When the grain team arrived at the hiding place of the villagers in Huanghua Xiangchang Town, Fang Xiaoyue called the villagers up again and returned together.
What surprised him was that the number of villagers in Huanghua Xiangchang Town increased again.
It turned out that when they were hiding in their hiding place, some villagers hiding in the wild came to find them for some unknown reason and formed a team.
Fortunately, all ten war horses were captured. Fang Xiaoyue had someone make a simple pulley. Everyone got on the pulley, dragged by the horses, and followed the grain team.
Fang Xiaoyue was really lucky today. She didn't encounter the Beiyue Cavalry even once all the way to Xiaofeng Valley.
This also made Fang Xiaoyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After passing through Howling Valley, it will be difficult for the grain truck to continue moving forward.
Most of the roads in these mountains are forest trails or mountain roads on ridges. New roads will be covered with vegetation in a few days at most, making it impossible for cars to pass.
Fortunately, there were more than fifty villagers and cart drivers brought back by Fang Xiaoyue this time.
First, the mules and horses were loaded with grain bags, and then each person carried a bag of grain. The remaining grain was dug into a cellar nearby and buried.
As long as it doesn't rain heavily for several consecutive days, it is generally unlikely to affect food.
Fang Xiaoyue did not carry the food, but carried the two Beiyue Cavalrymen and walked at the front of the team.
He stayed with these two Beiyue Cavalrymen to use them as boxing targets for his sons and grandchildren.
This is not because he is cruel.
Whether it's Xingyi Quan or Five Elements Sword, routines are routines. If you want to practice to a high level, you have to practice them.
Why is it that some people who have been practicing boxing for decades are still called "fancy fists and embroidered legs"? The reason is here.
The Beiyue cavalrymen were all killed in battles on the battlefield. Even if they didn't know any boxing skills, with their basic skills, it would be easy to cut down a group of farmers.
Having such an opponent as a boxing target is very helpful in improving the strength of Zhang Pingan and others.
Returning to Taoyuan Valley, Fang Xiaoyue immediately ordered all the young men, returned with the mules and horses, and carried back all the remaining grain.
Well, the name Taoyuan Valley was given by Fang Xiaoyue, mainly referring to the valley inside. Even an old boy in the village who had attended a private school for several years thought it was good.
The valley outside is called Taoyuan Trail.
After carrying all the food back, Fang Xiaoyue asked people to light a fire and water the mountain wall to dig a stone chamber.
This is also a helpless thing.
In these 150,000-yuan mountains, it can be said that it rains every day and is sunny every day. If you build a wooden house to store grain, the grain will sprout and become infected with insects within a few days.
However, the dry and cold stone chamber is the best equipment for preserving food.
Three days later, the excavation of the stone chamber was completed and all the food was put into storage.
The stone in Fang Xiaoyue's heart was finally relieved.
When he got up early that morning, he took a group of young men to practice the Five Elements Knife for a while, then divided them into several teams and went out to search for food.
Although there are many natural foods in Taoyuan Valley and Taoyuan Trail, in line with the idea of continuously fishing, it is very important to preserve the natural food sources in the valley as much as possible.
The young men were divided into small groups and set out with swords and guns to look for food, while the women, old and young, continued to cultivate the fields in the valley.
Fang Xiaoyue and her son-in-law Ding Shengming formed their own team and headed deeper into Shiwanda Mountain.
To say that his current ambition is not small, he wants to find iron ore, coal and even other mineral deposits in the Shiwan Mountains.
Since my son-in-law's family are all blacksmiths, it would be unreasonable not to make good use of them.
But things like prospecting sometimes really depend on luck.
This is especially true when this plane is in ancient times.
After crossing two ridges, the two found a small stream.
Fang Xiaoyue grabbed a handful of creek sand from the stream and looked at it.
The creek sand was all black and gray, which made him couldn't help but get closer and smell it with his nose.
A hint of irony smell immediately penetrated his nostrils.
Then, he tried stirring the stream with his scimitar, and then looked at some black sand adsorbed on the scimitar, and couldn't help but look at Ding Shengming, who was also holding the black sand and distinguishing it.
As a blacksmith, although I have never been a miner, I have seen a lot of iron ore.
Ding Shengming nodded towards Fang Xiaoyue: "Dad, this should be the magnet mine!"
The so-called magnetite is actually magnetite, which is an iron ore with an iron content of more than 72%.
The black sand under the stream is magnetite sand.
Of course, it would be a joke to rely on this small amount of magnetite sand to start a furnace to make iron.
So the two of them went up the river and after crossing a waterfall, they found the real magnetite.
To be precise, this is an exposed open-pit mine located on a ridge. Due to rainfall and flowing water, some magnetite sand was washed into the stream by the flowing water.
