Chapter 222 The imperial edict is issued, taking control of the situation!
Cao Kun and his men set up tents and camped around the copper mine that was being developed.
There was no time to build the wooden fort yet.
Because Cao Kun planned to spend all the manpower to build the mine first, and it would not be too late to build the wooden village after the mine was mined.
It doesn’t matter even if the place I live in now is a little worse.
In order to make a lot of money quickly, Cao Kun felt that he could endure anything.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
The sound of footsteps is breathtaking.
Cao Kun, who was standing at the entrance of the mine and supervising the people's work, was slightly stunned. He turned his head in surprise and saw a large number of soldiers rushing out of the forest.
These soldiers were all wearing soft armor and holding swords and guns. They were in groups of three or five, with some space between them, but their arrangements were very orderly.
These soldiers launched an attack directly towards the Beijing camp.
In an instant, a large number of Beijing camp soldiers fell, and the rest fled in a panic.
"Arm! Arrange! Raise my banner, march!"
Cao Kun roared in panic after he came to his senses.
Even though he was just a playboy, he had received training and read military books.
He knew he had to organize resistance, otherwise his own life would be in danger.
And his words worked, and soon a large number of soldiers gathered around him and organized resistance.
More soldiers fought on their own, but also fought hard.
"Kill them! Kill the bandits and I will reward you handsomely!"
Cao Kun cried out loudly.
But the next moment.
Countless arrows shot towards him like a rainstorm.
Cao Kun was suddenly shocked.
After he dodged the arrows by raising his shield, he suddenly realized that the people attacking him were not ordinary bandits.
These guys are regular troops!
And they are all elite.
The Beijing camp’s troops couldn’t stop it!
"Give me the bamboo tube. I need to call for reinforcements. Call for reinforcements!"
"Swoosh!"
When the fireworks rise into the sky.
When it exploded in mid-air.
Under the protection of the Imperial Guards, Ye Chen frowned slightly.
He couldn't help but sigh.
The commanders of the more than 800 Beijing garrison troops were not complete fools.
However, Ye Chen had already anticipated this kind of exposure.
"Your Majesty, the commander of the Beijing Camp has been surrounded by us, but he is putting up a desperate fight. However, soldiers from the surrounding area should be coming to support him soon. Should we continue fighting?"
A hint of worry flashed across Shen Qiu's cold face, but his eyes looked extremely sharp.
Things have come to this.
If Ye Chen continued to besiege the main general, she would have to lead the troops herself.
Only by getting rid of this main general as soon as possible can Ye Chen lead his troops to retreat.
"Hmph, I'll go and see for myself."
Ye Chen snorted coldly and strode towards the battlefield.
At this time, the soldiers of the Beijing camp fled, surrendered, and died.
Only Cao Kun and two hundred soldiers were left guarding the entrance of the mine. He formed a semicircular phalanx based on the terrain and placed shield and spear soldiers in front.
Cao Kun was commanding from behind, but he had become much calmer.
He was very clear about the situation at this time.
As long as we can hold on, there is hope.
Reinforcements will arrive soon!
But soon he discovered that the attacking enemy forces began to retreat slightly.
His eyes lit up involuntarily, and he felt that the enemy was about to begin retreating.
Then he saw a figure walking out from the enemy army.
"His Majesty has decreed that everyone lay down their weapons, and previous crimes will be forgiven!"
"If not, all nine clans will be killed!"
Ye Chen waved his hand, the sound was like rolling thunder, and his black hair danced wildly.
In an instant, Cao Kun's whole body shook violently, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Holy, holy, holy decree?"
Cao Kun was so frightened that cold sweat immediately broke out on his head.
Does the emperor know about the Qinling Mountains?
Not only him, but the soldiers from the Beijing camp who followed him also showed horror on their faces.
You have to know that the officers in the Beijing camp are all from aristocratic families, but many soldiers are just ordinary people, or servants of aristocratic families.
They are paid to do things.
It is acceptable to let them fight the enemy army desperately, but many people will naturally be unwilling to do the job of exterminating their entire clan.
Now that they heard that the imperial edict had arrived, morale was on the verge of collapse.
"It's fake, it's fake, absolutely impossible! Don't believe him!"
Cao Kun shouted loudly.
"Here is the Imperial Guards' token. What's fake about it? Are you planning a rebellion?!"
Ye Chen raised the token.
This was what he had asked Shen Qiu for in advance.
At this moment, the aura emanating from him was like a gushing wave, like an overwhelming sea.
"Put down your weapons immediately!"
"Otherwise, all nine will be killed!"
Ye Chen's voice was like thunder, exploding in the ears of everyone present.
"Bang!"
Weapons were thrown on the ground.
Some soldiers were so frightened that they completely broke down and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
One has two.
Many soldiers dropped their weapons.
They all knelt down.
Cao Kun was horrified and immediately took his personal soldiers to capture and behead people, trying to force them to fight, but found that it was useless.
"Those who surrender, get out of the way!"
"Those who refuse to surrender will be killed without mercy!"
Ye Chen's thunder-like voice rang out again.
This time, Cao Kun's eyes were red.
"Mad! I want you to die!"
Cao Kun suddenly drew his bow and arrow and shot towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was not afraid and drew his sword in an instant.
"Snapped!"
The arrow was cut into two halves by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled coldly, and Shen Qiu immediately stepped forward and blocked Ye Chen with his sword.
A large number of imperial guards then rushed forward and attacked Cao Kun and the soldiers who refused to surrender.
