Chapter 363: Bandits attacking the mountain?

Red Flame Mountain.

As soon as Blackhorn returned, he was welcomed by all the miners.

"Boss, you're finally back. We missed you so much."

"Boss, is martial arts fun? I want to learn martial arts too!"

"Boss, boss..."

Everyone enthusiastically surrounded Hei Jiao and asked him questions one after another, obviously they were quite interested in Hei Jiao's life after becoming a warrior.

Hei Jiao laughed foolishly for a few times, then shook his head and said, "It's boring. Practicing boxing and standing still every day is really boring. I still prefer to crawl into this dark mine and sweat like a ray of rain. That's the best!"

If Deng Jiuxian heard this, he would probably be so angry that smoke would come out of his nose.

With Hei Jiao's talent in martial arts and the guidance of a mentor like him, others would probably wake up laughing in their dreams, but this guy actually had a look of disgust on his face.

The miners obviously didn't take Hejiao's words seriously, and they all thought he was just joking.

A warrior is already a superior person, who would be willing to go down the cave to dig minerals like a donkey?

"I'm not going to waste my time talking to you. Hurry up and bring me my pickaxe. I'm going to dig out a thousand pounds of copper ore today."

Hei Jiao was about to rub his hands and stand up when a man suddenly stepped out from the crowd and called out to Hei Jiao, "Boss, if you're here to inspect, just do it. Why do you have to go down into the mine?"

The man who spoke was not tall and had dark skin, but his clothes were different from those of the miners around him.

This man is called Tao San, the mine manager of the Chiyan Copper Mine, and used to be a subordinate of Heijiao.

"You kid, are you afraid that my skills have become rusty and I can't do it anymore?" Hei Jiao was really itching to move around, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't move around.

Tao San quickly explained, "That's not true, Boss. You're as hardworking as five of us. There's nothing you can't dig. The main thing is, we've only just taken over Chiyan Mountain. We've just cleaned up the area and haven't had time to clear out the old mine tunnels yet, so we can't go down there right now."

Heijiao suddenly realized and looked around. He saw that the surrounding houses and mines looked very old and had obviously not been used for many years.

It seems that I was too impatient.

He scratched his head and asked, "How's the defense going?"

According to the custom of Xiaofengzhuang, at least two squads of troops must be stationed in a mine to prevent attacks from external enemies.

"We are very familiar with traps like pits and tripwires, but the garrison troops have not yet arrived. They were all transferred from Xiaofeng Manor, so the journey will take some time. However, the brothers can serve as soldiers, so you can rest assured, my lord."

Tao San said with a relaxed look.

Compared with Qinghe County, the environment in Qingshan County can be said to be even worse.

Compared with this place, Qingshan County can be considered a poor and barren place, so there are many bandit problems. Therefore, Chen Changfan asked all the people in Xiaofeng Village to become soldiers.

Among them, the miners led by Hei Jiao were once a strong fighting force.

It’s just that because the miners’ mining ability is so outstanding, not many people know that they are good at fighting.

In fact, in Tao San's opinion, there was no need to even ask those two squads of soldiers to come from far away.

"Don't worry, Boss. If we run into any bandits or thieves, I can take a few of my brothers with me and take them with me. Besides, my Xiaofeng Village is very popular right now. Everyone knows that we have defeated the four major markets in the city, and the owner of Wolong Bay has also become very famous. Who would dare to..."

call out!

Just as Tao San patted his chest, an arrow came through the wind, almost brushing past Tao San's scalp, and shot straight towards the black horn in front of him.

Hei Jiao quickly raised his hand to block the arrow, deflecting it. The arrow changed direction and stabbed into the ground, with the white feathers at the tail still trembling slightly.

"Enemy attack!"

Heijiao shouted loudly, then grabbed Tao San by the collar and hid in the wooden house. A rain of arrows fell behind him, and everyone immediately turned their heads to hide.

The corners of Tao San's mouth twitched slightly. He had just boasted about Haikou, saying that no one would dare to invade, but before he could finish his words, he was attacked by the enemy.

"Damn it, I just came here and I encountered bandits attacking the mountain?" Heijiao suppressed the excitement on his face, put Tao San down, and then quickly glanced around, as if looking for weapons.

Xiaofengzhuang had been attacked by bandits many times before, but they were basically either beaten back by Chen Changfan's team or defended by Lao Wei and his team.

Black Horn doesn't have many opportunities to go into battle and kill the enemy.

Now, he held the highest military rank on Scarlet Flame Mountain, and he could lead his troops out of the mountain to meet the enemy with dignity. Black Horn's blood boiled, and a flicker of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Those with eggs, follow me and charge in, kill the enemies and protect the mines!"

Heijiao picked up a pickaxe in one hand and lifted a bed board with the other, then rushed out with both of them pressed in front of him.

As soon as he gave the order, as if by some kind of magic, the fear on everyone's face disappeared, and they all picked up their weapons and followed him.

Outside the wooden house, arrows rained down like locusts. Heijiao charged forward with a bed board on his head. The other miners followed suit, raising their wooden boards and shovels and shouting as they followed.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The arrows hit the wooden boards with a dense sound. Hei Jiao looked through the gap in the bed and saw a group of people rushing up from the mountain. Judging from their attire, they looked like a group of bandits.

At a glance, there were at least a hundred of them, all riding large horses and fully equipped.

What a hundred cavalrymen!

This kind of formation is not so easy to pull out even in some big mountain strongholds, but he actually encountered it. He didn't know why the other party would target their mine. Hejiao couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to think about it.

Anyone who invades must be punished!

The murderous intent in his eyes grew stronger, and his steps became firmer. He rushed like a wild bull, charging straight into the enemy camp.

Jiang Yuan and others were stunned when they saw this dark figure rushing out with the door panel in his hand.

For a moment, he even doubted whether it was his people who came to attack the mountain, or the people on the mountain who came to rob.

A quick glance revealed that there were only about a hundred men rushing down the mountain.

What kind of equipment are those people carrying?

The coarse cloth he wore was worn and covered in dirt, so much so that his original color was almost unrecognizable. Like the faces of those people, they were both shiny black.

Some of these men were carrying shovels, some were holding pickaxe handles, and some were even using tabletops as shields. No matter how you looked at them, they looked like a group of unorganized and undisciplined refugees.

After confirming that the other side had only about a hundred people, a hint of disdain flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes.

The other side was just a mob of a hundred people, while he had a hundred well-equipped cavalrymen. He really couldn't figure out how he could lose?

"Kill! Kill these bastards!" Jiang Yuan rode his horse forward and charged towards the tall man holding the bed board in his hand.
