The deputy general's proposal is not entirely without merit. The emperor's people haven't arrived yet. If they hurry up and compress the time, mining for another hour won't have much impact, but...
With one more hour, can all the gold ore in the mine be mined?
cannot!
If all the gold ore inside cannot be mined, Yan Beijun will still have regrets in his heart, thinking about mining more, and mining more, and so on, and in the end he will only cause trouble for himself.
If you continue to stop, you will suffer chaos. People's hearts are greedy and they can't easily feed themselves. Feng Qi understands Yan Beijun's thoughts, but he will never let greed dominate his reason.
"There is no need to wait any longer. I said now is now." Feng Qi did not give the deputy general a chance to say no. He left these words, took a step back, and said forcefully: "This is my order. You can choose not to execute it."
After all, it's not his person, so he won't force it.
He has done what Xiao Jiuan told him, so he is worthy of Xiao Jiuan, but if Xiao Jiuan's people are disobedient, he cannot control them.
When the deputy general heard this, he saw that Feng Qi was angry. He clasped his hands in his fists and apologized: "I don't dare, Mr. Feng Qi, please forgive me."
"Since you don't dare, let someone carry out my order. After everyone leaves, cut down the trees and burn the mountain." Fire can cover up traces and can also ignite explosives.
Xiao Jiuan had made arrangements in advance to dig out the nearby mountains early, and then exploded and burned the mountains. It would only burn this area. The fire would not spread and would not harm innocent people.
"Yes, Mr. Feng Qi." The deputy general did not dare to say more and immediately ordered people to do as he was told.
Yanbei's army had cut down many trees before, but many of them were withered. It didn't take much effort to light the fire.
"Master Feng Qi, you are ready." Piles of branches were piled at the edge of the mining area and spread all the way to the fuse of the explosive.
"Everyone exits, leaving the archers to set fire." It still takes some distance to cross the woods. Feng Qi was afraid of an accident, so he did not let people stay where they were to light the fire, but used "rockets" to send the flames over.
Xiao Jiuan handed over the Yanbei Army to him and the mines to him. As long as these people listen to him, he will try his best to ensure the safety of every Yanbei Army and ensure that the mines will not be exposed.
This time, no one dared to question Feng Qi's order, and the remaining Yanbei army quickly retreated, leaving only a few archers behind.
Yanbei's army marched very fast, but they retreated from the woods within a moment. Feng Qi and his lieutenant slowed down for a moment and retreated into the forest. Feng Qi looked at the wind direction, pointed to several directions, and ordered the archers to release arrows at that location.
.
The arrowheads were all tied with tarpaulin dipped in kerosene, and all were lit. They flickered in the gray sky like will-o'-the-wisps. When the deputy general and the remaining Yanbei army saw these fires, they couldn't help but feel relieved.
The tone is still regretful.
They were relieved, naturally, because the matter was over, they didn't have to think about it anymore and could have a good sleep in peace, but what was a pity was that there was still no gold dug out of the mine.
However, it is useless to think about these things now. The matter is a foregone conclusion. They can't change anything. Even if they don't want to give up the gold ore, they will give it up.
"Fire the arrow." Feng Qi gave the order, and the rocket flew out with a whoosh, piercing the void, and landed on the fire in the distance. Only a "chi-la" sound was heard, the dead branches were ignited, and the flames jumped up.
It caught fire instantly.
The dead branches were still a long way from the explosives, so Feng Qi ordered people to lay dead branches along the road. As long as the fire was lit, the dead branches would burn all the way until they reached the location of the explosives.
Detonating explosives in this way is extremely safe.
"Retreat immediately." Feng Qi stood there and watched for a moment. When he saw that the fire was burning as he expected, he stopped staying any longer.
This place is not safe, at least not for them.
Feng Qi led the remaining people and left the woods as quickly as possible.
Feng Qi looked at Wenwen as weak, but he was the fastest. Even the fastest vanguard in the Yanbei army could not catch up with him, which showed his strength.
Like a gust of wind, Feng Qi led the people to withdraw from the woods. As soon as they rushed out of the woods, there was a "boom" sound behind them, like a huge boulder collapsing, and even the ground shook.
"What happened?" The Imperial Guards, who were under the sole supervision of the Yanbei Army, did not know that the Yanbei Army had retreated from the forest. They thought that the Yanbei Army had only brought them out. When they heard the noise behind them, their faces changed drastically.
Yan Bei, who was escorting the Imperial Army, was also startled, but they didn't say anything and just sped up to leave.
"What happened? Did the mountain collapse, or did the local cow turn over?" The more they didn't know anything, the more they wanted to know. The Imperial Guards all panicked and kept asking questions.
After hearing this, Yan Beijun had to reply: "There is a rocky mountain behind the woods. Some people said before that the mountain would fall, but no one believed it. Now... it should have fallen. Regardless of whether it is, it is too dangerous here.
Yes, we have to leave as soon as possible."
This is the reason for external affairs. Everyone in the Yanbei army agrees. No matter who asks, it is this reason.
"Stone Mountain?" The Imperial Army obviously didn't believe it. They didn't know what was behind the woods, but it didn't rain or flood. How could a good mountain collapse?
"Well, many of our soldiers were injured by falling rocks earlier. If it weren't for saving people, we wouldn't have stayed inside." Yan Beijun looked at him and said unintentionally, waiting for the imperial army to want to
When asked, Yan Beijun shut his mouth again and pretended not to say anything.
As the first rumble sounded, the sound of the mountain collapsing became increasingly dense, and the sound of the explosion was also covered up. Looking back, you could vaguely see dust rushing into the sky.
As for the intensity of the fire? They can't see it. The fire isn't big enough now, and the Forbidden Army is too far away, so what they can see is limited.
"Is the mountain really falling?" With this voice and this scene, apart from the fact that the mountain is falling, I really can't find a second reason.
As for someone saying that someone deliberately blew up the mountain, the Imperial Army didn't believe it. It was a mountain, a towering rocky mountain, not some piece of tofu. How could anything be able to blow up a mountain or push it down?
When they saw the huge mountains collapsing, no one thought that it was man-made, because in their view, human power simply couldn't do it.
The mountain shook, the stone mountain collapsed, and the ground within a hundred miles radius was shaking. This news could not be concealed at all. When the spies saw this, they sent the news out as soon as possible.
There is a mountain outside the city that fell flat. Coincidentally, this mountain is where Xiao Jiuan used to train his troops. If there is no problem with this, no one with a brain will believe it. But here comes the problem. If there is a problem here, who can?
Ability to make mountains collapse?
