Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

226 Chapter 224, Li Guang

"Ding ding ding dong."

"Ding ding ding dong."

"Ding ding ding dong."

The crisp sound of the pickaxes hitting the ore deposits made this mountain forest extraordinarily lively.

The small pothole that could only be climbed into was now as tall as a person.

The hole is two meters wide and is erected with logs.

Going in, the middle of the tunnel has been extending the log support inward.

This is to prevent the top of the pit from sinking.

In the tunnel at this moment, there are countless mining slaves in groups of more than a dozen, and they are using pickaxes to continuously grab the ore on the wall of the pit.

Underneath are baskets woven from bamboo strips. When a basket is filled, people will send out another basket, in an endless stream.

In addition to these native slaves, there were five soldiers every 300 meters in the tunnel. In fact, the number of soldiers was 20 at the beginning, but after such a long time, Liu Polun found that these natives were very obedient.

Therefore, the number of guards was reduced.

rumbling.

Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains shook.

The natives in the tunnel were terrified, and the soldiers wanted to run away at this moment.

"Dilong turned over, let's go!"

Earthquakes are frequent on Ryukyu Island. Although the soldiers have long been accustomed to earthquakes as if they were on a ship, this is in a tunnel. If a landslide is buried, it will be a dead word.

The soldiers ran out of the silver mine, and any natives who stood in the way were chopped down with knives.

For a time, wailing spread throughout the mine tunnel.

Not long after, all the soldiers ran out, and the natives also rushed out of the mine tunnel like black mice.

The ground is still shaking.

The rolling stone rustled.

Smoke and dust everywhere.

The duration of this earthquake exceeded what the soldiers had experienced in the past, and the scene was quite large.

Even Liu Polun, who was transporting a batch of supplies from Tsushima Island to Jianyin County Wharf, was aware of it.

"Stop the boat! Wait for the earth dragon to turn over and finish docking."

Following Liu Polun's orders, the flag bearers on the ship continued to wave their flags towards the follow-up ships.

Standing on the top of the deck, Liu Polun looked at the pier, frowning.

"How many people are on duty in the mine today?"

Liu Polun asked, and the first mate next to him turned over the notepad and replied.

"520 four people."

Liu Polun's heart tightened: "I just hope they'll be fine, otherwise it would be a bit of a loss."

"General."

The first officer hesitated to speak, Liu Polun glanced at him: "Speak up if you have something to say."

"General, I don't think the soldiers should be allowed to return to the army after the delivery of supplies. Now that Governor Hu and the others have arrived, and there are two thousand soldiers from the Eagle Strike Army, the task of guarding the slave labor should be handed over to them."

Liu Polun glanced at the first mate: "What you said is reasonable, but don't say it again next time. If your words today are known to the king, you will lose your head."

"The Last General. The Last General"

"Okay, I'll understand what you mean, but we are colleagues with Jianyin County Sheriff Hu Jun, so there is no need to separate you and me, let's go down."

".promise!"

The mate stepped back from the deck and returned to the rudder.

Liu Polun glanced at him, and murmured: "Ideological construction has declined a bit recently, and it is time to rectify it. The pressure is still a bit high after wandering at sea all year round."

After a while, the vibration on the island gradually subsided.

Liu Polun raised the flag, and fourteen sailboats began to approach the pier.

The materials will not be able to be unloaded for a while, so Liu Polun ordered all the crew members to disembark to help the navy guarding the pier to make repairs.

Everything is good on this island, except that earthquakes are too frequent.

Repairing the pier and transporting supplies, Liu Polun's fleet stayed here for two days. The people staying in the mine were fine, and there were no casualties, but more than a hundred natives were killed or injured, most of whom were trampled to death.

However, the natives are not considered human beings in the eyes of the people who came from Wuhuan. As long as Zhang Qi doesn't change their status, they will be just slaves for the rest of their lives.

In order to prevent casualties in the mine, Liu Polun reduced the garrison from 500 to 300, and changed from regional supervision to mobile patrols, one hundred people at a time, three shifts a day.

Although the symptoms were not cured, the possible casualties were minimized.

Days go by like this.

Until a letter came from Jiaoli, the trend of Ryukyu Island's management of native slaves began to change.

Slave over slave.

"What did you say? A Hun cavalry took advantage of the night to pass through Gongsun Ao's defense line on the left and hit Li Guang's troops in the rear?!"

Huo Qubing looked at the orderly who was gasping for breath with shock on his face.

"and after!"

Huo Qubing hurriedly asked if he was worried about Li Guang, and what he was worried about was his uncle Wei Qing.

As the commander of this expedition, the distance between Wei Qing's central army and Li Guang's rear army is only about ten miles away. What if the Xiongnu rushed to the central army after a surprise attack on Li Guang?
"The Huns launched the attack in the early hours of the morning. After the attack, the army roared down the camp. They took advantage of the sky to disappear, and they have not found any trace yet."

Huo Qubing breathed a sigh of relief unkindly, but he changed his mind and looked at Habayashirou Li Ze who was with him.

"Li Ze! You lead thousands of people to keep moving forward, and the others follow me!"

The Huns started to move. Since his uncle only let him wander on the right side, he might as well wander around quickly to see if there is any chance to find an opportunity during the battle and make great achievements!

The number of 3000 people is a bit small, but there is an advantage of having less, that is, quick mobility. Huo Qubing left a thousand people to continue guarding the right side of the central army, and he brought 2000 people to speed up.

"Hahaha, happy, King Temujin, fighting with you is very happy, coming and going like the wind, those Han people never thought we would come back!"

On the prairie, Kan Wutu, the eldest son of King Helu, rode on a horse and laughed.

The current Department of Lailu has fully invested in Hu Shui and has become a department under his account.

Hu Shui shook his head and chuckled, if Yi Zhixie hadn't sent him a letter asking him to surprise Li Guang's troops, he wouldn't have been running all night.

But the effect is not bad, you can write it down and use it for future experience in fighting the Han army.

"Okay, let's go back to the garrison first. Da Shanyu is ready to launch an attack. We need to hurry up and rest."

"Yes!"

The four thousand cavalry raised their speed and headed deep into the grassland.

And in the rear of the Han army.

Li Guang's expression was gloomy.

In the early morning of Xiaoying this morning, nearly half of the main force of more than 2 people was lost. What's more unfortunate is that the luggage responsible for transportation also came yesterday, and a lot of food and grass were burned.

"You idiot Hun! You have been bewildering us for several months, and you are attacking at night while our army is exhausted. How dare you bully me like this!

And Wei Qing, why not let this general be the vanguard? Seriously, seriously, it's unreasonable! "

With a little silver hair, Li Guang, who is not young, is full of resentment at the moment.

In his opinion, among the generals of the Han Dynasty, he was the one who had the deepest understanding of the Huns, and also the one who defeated the Huns the most. Why did His Majesty appoint Wei Qing as the general!

He refuses to accept it!
