Chapter 943

Do you know the location of the silver mine?

Even though it is not close, it is not far away.

After all, Suwo family has been in Japan for several generations, and Japan itself does not have much big place. He still knows some where there is gold and silver. However, he cannot estimate the output of minerals due to the technical level. At the same time, he cannot mine it. The current metallurgical level in Japan can only barely mine "dog-headed gold", which is the kind of gold that is washed away by river water and has relatively high purity, and gold ores do not have the mining technology.

The place where Suwo Ekima painted is an existing mine in Japan. A lot of silver in Japan was mined from this mine. He chose this place because he wanted to gain Li Mu's trust, because he knew that Li Mu would definitely come to understand. If there was no silver mine here, he would not have fallen into the trap.

Another thing is that the terrain here is very suitable for ambushing, with mountains on both sides and gullies in the middle. You only need to ambush people on the hillsides on both sides to easily make dumplings from the enemy.

Su I, the Emirati, have never seen the Tang army, and I don’t know how powerful the Tang army is. But when he was young, he had seen the Sui Dynasty army. He knew his weight, and if he didn’t set up an ambush, his troops would definitely not be able to defeat the Sui Dynasty army. The Tang army defeated the Sui army, and he had no confidence at all.

Therefore, he could only use this method of deception. Of course, with the moral standards of Su I, Emily, he did not think he had any deceptions.

The success of kings and defeats of bandits has been like this since ancient times.

Suwo Ekima is an old fox. He knew that the bait that was too easy to get was not easy to eat. So he did not choose to lick it directly. On the contrary, he ordered the Japanese people to restrain the people, and no one was allowed to mention the information about silver mines and other things. At the same time, he asked Li Mu Xiu to write a letter to flatter him, and asked him vaguely why the purpose of this trip was, and he wanted to lose money and avoid disasters, and to offer a treasure to let the fleet leave.

Li Mu came with a purpose, how could he leave easily? Just as Su I, Eiyi thought, Li Mu ignored Su I, Eiyi's letter, and was still inquiring about the silver mine. Finally, "hard work pays off." In a small fishing village on the coast of Benzhou Island, the Tangren met an old miner and learned that there was a silver mine pit that had been mined for about a hundred years in the Shanyin area of ​​Benzhou Island.

Then, under the surveillance of the spy sent by Suwo Eiyi, two Jinyiwei followed the old miner to the near the mine.

Three days later, the fleet landed and rested on the beach for a day. About 200 people left the camp and rushed to the mine.

...

The pier only takes one day to get to the mine. However, the team of 200 people also brought a lot of mining tools, so it was obvious that it was impossible to walk so fast. Su I, Emily, had enough time to arrange the traps. He placed dozens of eyeliners along the way, and almost every few miles, one of his eyeliners was there. He knew all the movements of the Tang people.

"The Tang people divided about half of the people to the mine, and about half of the people stayed behind... Be cautious," Su I, the Ekima, said with a sound. In the picture he drew himself, he had never felt so exciting. This time, his opponent was no longer the idiots from Japan, but his opponent became the Tang people, the high-ranking Central Plains people. If he tasted the taste of failure in Japan, he would be the hero of Japan and would be recorded in the history of Japan forever.

"It seems to be a safe arrangement, but it is actually stupid." Suwo Yui sneered: "If it were me, with such a powerful fleet, I would have put 80% of the troops down the ship to ensure that everything is foolproof. The ship retreated to the sea and retreated to the sea. No one could pose a threat to such a huge fleet. When he saw this commander, he was no one who had fought a war. Unfortunately, such a majestic fleet in the Tang Dynasty actually allowed such people to manage it. It seems that the Heavenly Kingdom is not as famous as meeting--"

His subordinates quickly flattered him. Su I, Ekima, enjoyed it for a while, waved his hand to interrupt a group of flatterers and said, "The strategy of dividing troops is very stupid. It seems that I can't use many of my preparations. He looked at a subordinate next to him and said, "Gutta, where has the Tang people gone now?"

"Return to the Lord, and you will be here in half a day."

"Then go and prepare quickly. Dig more traps on the mountainside. When they find you, they will definitely go up the mountain to fight you. Dig more traps so that they can't go up the mountain. You shoot arrows down from the mountain. If you still lose like this, you don't have to live."

"Hayi!" Kameda half knelt on the ground, saluted, stood up and left to prepare.

"What's the situation with those who Tangren stayed in the camp? Yamamoto, is your spy back?"

"Return to the Lord, my people have already arranged it. As long as the Lord gives orders, my people will rush into the Tangren camp and kill them without leaving them!"

"Silly!" Su I, Emily, slapped his subordinates in the head and scolded: "Does it be even more stupid to deal with a group of idiots? If you lead people in and fight, are you a match for Tangren? Wouldn't you use some brains?"

Yamamoto was stunned and had a puzzled look in his eyes. After Su I, Emily, had fought enough, he dared to ask: "Master, I am stupid. I really can't think of what to do. Please tell me!"

"They got ashore, how did they solve the problem of eating and drinking?"

Yamamoto knew about it and said, "The spies have a lot of food on their ships, and they cook their own food."

"Where is the water?"

"Water..." Yamamoto thought for a while and said, "It should have been drilled in the well in the nearby fishing village. The spy once saw that several vehicles transported water in the morning."

Su I, Emily, sneered: "Just take poison, put it into the water, and poison them to death? Why do you need to fight and kill?!"

"Ah!" Yamamoto suddenly realized and smirked: "It's better for the master to be wise, this is a good way!"

"Go and do it!" Su I, Emily waved his hand impatiently, and talked to these stupid subordinates who were as stupid as pigs. He was always so tired!

...

Li Mu took Li Chongyi and the Jinyiwei and followed the guide and set out to find the silver mine that he mentioned. The camp matter was handed over to Manager Xiao and asked him to watch the arrangement. Halfway through the way, Li Chongyi finally couldn't help it and said, "Brother, I think this matter is a fraud."

"Oh?" Li Mu raised his eyelids and said, "How come he has a fraud?"

"I can't explain it clearly, but when my master taught me the art of war, he told me a lot of stories. After listening to those stories, I felt that it was a deceitful." The master Li Chongyi mentioned was the guest of the beard. The guest of the beard was a civil and military talent, and he also had a deep study of military tactics. It is said that Li Jing's military tactics were all military books given by the guest of the beard. Li Chongyi was honest and had not had so many colorful intestines. In fact, it was not very suitable for studying military tactics, but some talents were unexplainable. Although he couldn't understand it, he felt very accurate.

Li Mu knew what happened to Li Chongyi, and he didn't blame him for not explaining it clearly. He just smiled and said, "Do you think I really believe in these Japanese?"

These days, because he could not find the location of the silver mine, Li Mu was furious and his name to the Japanese became "aggressive". No one understood what the Japanese meant. Ikkyu also asked Li Mu specifically, and Li Mu just explained that this was a despicable name for the enemy.

"I'm just using a trick. Instead of looking for something like a headless fly, it's better to catch a big one and ask him to help us find it."

Li Chongyi showed confusion and said, "Brother, I didn't understand."

"Ha, it's actually nothing difficult." Li Mu explained to him, saying, "Recalling what the Japanese we met along the way, they looked like when they saw us?"

Li Chongyi thought for a while and said, "Cowardly! Fear?"

"Yes, that's it." Li Mu said with a smile: "The Japanese are short and hardly able to catch up with the ordinary people of our Tang Dynasty. Whether it is our Jinyiwei or sailor, they are all men who choose and choose, and choose and choose. They are taller and stronger than our ordinary people. As one goes up and down, they seem much stronger than them. Moreover, they know that we are Tang people, and they are afraid at heart. When we talk to them, they dodge and dare not look in our eyes."

"And that old miner seemed very talkative. It was completely different from the Japanese we met along the way, so I became suspicious."

"But I didn't make a conclusion. Maybe the customs and customs of this small fishing village are different?" Li Mu smiled contemptuously and said, "So I asked other people in the small fishing village to talk to and found that the other people in the small fishing village were the same as the Japanese we met along the way. They were afraid and dodged, which shows that this old miner is definitely not an ordinary miner."

"I asked him to take our people to find the silver mine, and he agreed immediately without any hesitation. Just imagine, would it be so easy if a Japanese or Turkic person came to the Tang Dynasty and found our Tang Dynasty miners as guides?"

"He won't worry about the government causing trouble for him? Even if he doesn't care about this, he doesn't care. How much bounty can he get on this trip?"

Li Chongyi nodded. Looking back on these details, they were indeed full of loopholes.

"So I kept my mind and sent two people to guard the old miner's house. Finally, in the middle of the night, I discovered his secret. In the middle of the night, a night walker in black came to his house. The two of them talked for about a quarter of an hour. Our people followed and found that this person had escaped into the forest. Although I don't know what this night walker does, it basically confirmed my guess."

"The old miner must have a problem. It must be a trap for him to take our people to find the mine."

Li Mu said helplessly, "I have thought that people from Japan, whether they have IQ or strategy, are not as good as those of us Central Plains, but I didn't expect that they were so stupid. Are they like this? Or are they not taking us seriously at all? This is a bit too rough!"

"Recalling the letter sent by Suwo Ekiji a few days ago, I concluded that the mastermind behind this matter was Suwo Ekiji. He is now the actual controller of Japan. If he can catch him this time, our affairs will be settled."

Li Chongyi naturally understood the truth that he would capture the king first when he captured the thief.

At this time, he was almost at the ambush site preset by Su I, Emily. Li Mu gave Li Chongyi a look. Li Chongyi understood it and said loudly: "Stop, rest, eat something before leaving!"

The whole team stopped and took out the dry food obediently and started eating. Only one person scratched his ears and heads, which was the old miner leading the way.

After walking three miles apart, he completed the task. He saw that he was just in front of him, but the team stopped. How could he not be in a hurry?

But he didn't dare to say anything at this time, for fear that Li Mu would be suspicious, so he had to endure it and hoped that the group of Tang people would finish their meal soon and get off to the road as soon as possible.

Li Chongyi came to Li Mu and said, "Brother, my scouts have explored the way forward. There are ambushings on both sides of the hillsides in front. If we pass through this road, there will be casualties."

"To ask you a simple question, how far is the range of our Tang Dynasty bows and arrows?"

Li Chongyi thought for a while and said, "If it were the Jinyiwei, it would generally have the strength of sixty feet. If it were an ordinary Tunwei, it would be fifty feet, or less than fifty feet, about forty-five feet."

"Is it possible that the archers in Japan surpass ours?"

Li Chongyi shook his head and said confidently: "Maybe the Turks can do it, but the Japanese are thin and small, and they cannot pull a strong bow."

"How long is our crossbow?"

"At least seventy feet!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "I understand? Our crossbow can fire ten arrows at a time, and the range is far beyond them. Even if we shoot at it, we have no reason to be afraid. Besides, we know in advance that they are going to ambush, as long as we are a little alert, we will not be caught off guard. When we find their position, we will use the crossbow to swing them directly, what are we afraid of?"

"Yeah!" Suddenly, Li Chongyi remembered the camp and said, "Brother, do you want to notify the camp?"

"No, if they attack directly... The sailors practiced the Santa Clan for several months, but they were not vegetarians, and they couldn't win. If they wanted to come to the dark, it wouldn't be that easy. The food was brought by ourselves, and the water was now stored on the boat. Although we transported water from the fishing village every day, since I found out that the old miners had problems, they never used the water from the fishing village when cooking, and it was not that easy to poison them."

"Brother, where are the Japanese people rescued by Yike? Will they..."

"No." Li Mu said confidently: "Once upon that, they have no weapons, their bodies have not been recuperated, and they have no strength. Besides, I believe in Yikyu." Li Mu looked at Li Chongyi and said: "Although I don't like Japanese people, not all Japanese people are devils. Everything has good or bad. Yikyu is my disciple and his own people."

"Well, I understand, brother." Li Chongyi nodded, stood up and ordered to continue his journey. The old miner was filled with joy and ran to the front to lead the way.

On the hillsides on both sides, Su I, who had been ambushing for a long time, watched the prey enter his trap, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He waved his hand and Kameda ordered. Once it entered the range, thousands of arrows were immediately fired!

"Come on - prepare for a volley!"

"kill!"
