"In addition, Tianmuwax is also good at setting up traps."
Speaking of Tian Mu Wax, Mu En's tone clearly contained a hint of pride in addition to admiration. After all, the Tian Mu Wax clan was a comrade who stood unswervingly beside their White Gu Sect, so he did not hesitate to praise him at all.
: "Their poisonous miasma, blind archers and traps are a perfect match, because there is no need for a blinding night. With their poisonous miasma, the enemy trapped in the formation cannot open their eyes at all. Even if the army is braver,
If you fall into their ambush, you will suffer heavy casualties."
When he said these words, he completely failed to notice the change in Lin Yi's expression in the night.
There was no worry in Lin Yi's eyes. On the contrary, his eyes lit up quickly, like a miser suddenly seeing a silver mine.
"Have Tian Mu Wa and your Bai Gu Sect moved out of Ailao Mountain, or are they still in the deep mountains and old forests?"
He looked at Mu En, who was still immersed in the glorious achievements of the White Gu Sect and Tianmu Wax in the past, and asked quickly.
"them"
Mu En was about to answer subconsciously, but in the next moment, he reacted and his eyes widened to the extreme in disbelief, "Don't you think?"
There was a cry of exclamation.
At this time, even Qi Zhuji, Xiao Suxin and others were speechless.
Even if they subconsciously heard that these people of Tianmu Wax were so difficult to deal with, the next step was to take precautions during the march. But at this moment, they all understood that Lin Yi did not want to wait for the masters of Tianmu Wax to come.
Guilty, he seems to want to directly control Tianmuwax and take the people of Tianmuwax for his own use.
At this moment, Chen Jin was sipping a bowl of vegetable soup by a bonfire not far from Lin Yi.
Most of his face was hidden in the darkness, and not many people noticed his existence.
Looking at the expressions of the people around him, he couldn't help but laugh with emotion.
People who achieve great things usually use extraordinary means. However, many people who achieve great things really do not use extraordinary means after working hard and carefully, but their innate way of thinking and acting methods are different from ordinary people.
This shows that Wei Guanxing was not wrong, and neither was he.
Putting aside the aspect of spiritual practice, Lin Yi is not only a natural general, he is also the kind of genius who absolutely does not follow the rules and limits himself to dogma.
"Your White Gu Sect's methods are useful for targeting enemy cultivators or specific generals, but I heard from you that these people from Tian Mu Wax are more useful for marching and fighting." Lin Yi looked at Mu En and did not hide it.
I thought in my heart, "If I can make all the people in Tianmuwax available to me, it will naturally greatly increase the strength of my Tiecheng Army."
While he was speaking, he thought of the previous conversation between Chen Baowan and him before leaving, and he couldn't help but smile sarcastically and said: "I don't know how you Bai Gu Sect and Tian Mu Wa think of Xiao Jin and Xiao Hong.
Yes, but you should know about the opinions of Xiao Hong and Xiao Jin from top to bottom, especially the frontier troops. From what you said before, Bai Gu Sect and Tian Mu Wa are not only smart and can see the general trend, but they should also have many
Warriors, otherwise they would not dare to stand up and negotiate with the previous dynasty’s army. Only warriors who follow generals like me will have a good reputation. If they follow Xiao Hong and Xiao Jin, they will of course be ridiculed. What kind of reputation can they have?”
Lin Yi's last words sounded like an absolute boast, but no one thought he was boastful or proud, because after Zhongli's battle, he was naturally the most courageous general in the Southern Dynasties, and was a being that countless young generals admired and looked up to.
.
Mu En fell silent.
"Since you are already a member of our Tiece Army, don't worry about it. Just think about whether it is possible or whether the Tiece Army is worth the trek to collect Fu Tianmu Wax." Qi Zhuji saw his hesitation and couldn't help but sneer.
, "As for the life and death of people like your tribe and Tian Mu Wax, do you think we are easy to kill? We just want to use people, not kill people."
"Not everyone in our Bai Gu Sect can practice the Gu art. Only young children who have recognized their master through witchcraft at a young age are qualified to practice it. Therefore, although our Bai Gu Sect has a population of thousands, there are still some like me among them.
There are only a dozen practitioners. Besides me, there are four others outside King Linchuan's military camp, and the rest are already old."
Mu En had also made up his mind at this time. He raised his head and looked at Lin Yi, and said slowly: "There are many fewer people in Tianmuwa than us. Tianmuwa originally lived in the Bai Snake Mountain deep in Ailao.
Moreover, their tribe was originally an enemy of the most powerful tribe in the Ailao Mountains, so they were driven into the depths of the Baishen Mountain. Therefore, the environment in which they have lived for generations is the worst among all these tribes. Therefore, every day of their lives
Every man and every woman is a born warrior. Because of this, they have a rather cruel tradition. When every child is seven years old, he is sent to the depths of Bai Snake Mountain to be alone for half a month and survive on his own.
In fact, only two-thirds of them can get through, so even though they have actually left Baishen Mountain a hundred years ago, because they still maintain this tradition, their current population is only seven or eight hundred people, of which the most
There should be about two hundred men and women who are brave and good at fighting and in their prime. Almost all of these warriors of Tianmuwax are now in the Ailao Mountains. After the rebellion of the Twelve Ailao Tribes, the few silver mines discovered were left to us.
The Bai Gu Sect and their Tian Mu Wax guard together. Now our Bai Gu Sect only has a few Gu masters taking turns in those silver mines. Our Bai Gu Sect's village is still in the original Baixianquan area, but Tian Mu Wa's village has been completely moved to
Around those silver mines, only the youngest warriors in their villages often go to Bai Snake Mountain for trials."
When Mu En said this, he glanced at the sergeants of the Tiece Army around him. He subconsciously wanted to say that if he really led this army into Ailao Mountain, even if the silver mines where Tianmu Wax is now are no longer as good as those of the past.
Snake Mountain Stronghold is dangerous, but I am afraid that this iron army will also suffer heavy casualties.
But when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly realized that this Tieche army was not the kind of army he could imagine, not to mention the casualties of the army. This did not seem to be an issue that he needed to consider and weigh, but rather
Lin Yi's choice.
So he pondered for a moment and said: "Now every few days, a convoy belonging to the Xiao Family Workshop comes in and out. If it disguises itself as a convoy from the Xiao Family Workshop, and enters suddenly to attack, it may be effective with one strike."
He is not a general. Even if he thinks about the problem from Tie Cejun's standpoint, the aspect he is thinking about may not be the aspect that a general needs to know most.
"Are those silver mines now privately owned by the Xiao family, or are all the output included in the income of the prefectures and counties in Ningzhou?" Lin Yi originally thought simply, but now he heard that Mother Wax was guarding the silver mines that day, he
His brows furrowed deeply.
Isn't the Xiao family equivalent to the Jiankang Palace? If these silver mines are equivalent to the emperor's private property, then it would be treason to rob the Xiao family's motorcade or pretend to be the Xiao family's motorcade. Even if the emperor really needs to rely on him for party affairs, he will never do it.
May be tolerated.
"These silver mines are not included in the income of the state or county. As far as I know, they are all included in the private treasury of the Xiao family in Yongzhou." Mu En had not thought of this yet, so he told the truth.
"Then attacking the silver mines. Although what we want is not silver mines, it is no different from robbing the palace treasury." Of course Qi Zhuji thought clearly, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and then said: "Are there separate garrisons for these silver mines, or are they just guarded by you and Tian Mu Wax?"
"Half each, half is the Xiao family's own private army, under the control of Xiao Jin, and half is Tianmuwax's people." After listening to Qi Zhuji's words, Mu En understood the seriousness of the problem.
"Are the two mixed together?" Lin Yi said: "Or is Tianmuwa's village some distance from these silver mines?"
"The main village of Tianmu Wax is on a silver mine called the Hongyinhekou Mine. There are also two mines downstream of the Red Galaxy, only a mile or two apart. Tianmu Wax has several camps, just like
Mixed in with the private troops of the Xiao family."
Mu En now fully understood what Lin Yi meant by asking these questions. He smiled bitterly and said, "These private armies of the Xiao family are not strong in combat. Except for some craftsmen who are responsible for mining and rough smelting, the rest of the sergeants are just maintenance workers."
The order in these mines and preventing bandits and other tribes in the Ailao Mountains from causing chaos only rely on the combat power of Tianmu Wax, so Tianmu Wax is definitely the real garrison of these silver mines."
"That's all in vain." Qi Zhuji couldn't help but shook her head in frustration.
"You said earlier that the youngest members of Tianmu Wax will be tested in Baishen Mountain. If we can capture those people, is it possible to use this as a threat to ask those of Tianmu Wax to leave the silver mine and work for me?" Lin Yique
His eyes flickered and he asked again.
Mu En was stunned, "Of course it's possible, but Bai Snake Mountain is too dangerous. Not only the terrain, but poisonous insects are everywhere."
"It's not like a large army is pressing down on the border. We only have a few people there. Maybe we can give it a try." Lin Yi nodded.
