My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 62 This question is easy

The mountain master gave an order to withdraw a group of people to the rear to form a defensive position.

Afterwards, a conscription order was issued, which meant that the owner of Yanxi Mountain was eager to recruit talents and hoped that masters and people with lofty ideals from all sides would come to jointly defend the mine, and he offered a generous reward.

When this order was issued, it fell on deaf ears and few people signed up. In fact, those monks were very smart. They had heard that the Western Leader of the Pingtian Sect was coming. What was the difference between going there now and joining the Black Mountain Spirit Mine?
At this time, Chen Lang had already received notice and officially became the captain of Team 7 and was transferred to Songhu Mine.

After receiving this news, Chen Lang finally felt relieved. Songhu Mine was still his territory. As long as he could hold on to it, he would be successful.

At the same time, the old captain is also leaving.

"Fellow Daoist Han."

The captain took out his badge and placed it solemnly in Chen Lang's palm. He felt relieved after leaving the position and had many feelings in his heart. He smiled and said, "From today on, you are the captain."

"However, there are some things I need to explain to you."

"Go ahead." Chen Lang said. After all, he had just arrived and was a newbie, so he needed to understand the situation nearby.

The old captain groaned:

“In fact, this Songhu Mine originally belonged to the Qingmu Sect, but was later occupied by us.

But they have always wanted to take it back, especially in the past two years. You saw the battle that day. The opponent was very strong, which shows that they are determined to take it back. "

Is it strong? No feeling, Chen Lang said: "Don't worry, I can hold it."

"Don't be careless."

The old captain paused for a moment and continued, "Although there are not many masters of Qingmu Sect, they have the advantage of numbers. Once they decide to attack, they will attack in large numbers. But I told you the other day that the Western leader of Pingtian Sect may attack at any time. That is the real enemy. In order to protect the mine, the mountain master has no time to take care of this side and most likely will not support us.

If you are isolated and helpless and cannot hold on, leave early or prepare a retreat in advance."

He paused for a moment and patted Chen Lang on the shoulder: "What I mean is, don't try so hard like this time. You are still young and have many opportunities, but wanting to improve too much is not a good thing."

He has worked in the mine for three or four years and is considered an old hand. He feels clear in his heart for being able to make such a suggestion.

Then, the old captain left. After handing over the mission to Chen Lang, he chose to retire and return to his hometown to recuperate.

Knowing that it is a dead end, it is better to go home and serve the small family than to die here.

Chen Lang led his men to Songhu Mine and took a quick walk around the area.

This mine is about eighty miles away from the main mine, which is very far away in the secular world, but it is not close for cultivators like them who are close to building their foundation.

At least, if a battle breaks out here, the main mine will not be able to provide support in time.

He went to the mine again and saw the familiar configuration of miners. However, unlike the prison-like mine like the Black Mountain Spiritual Mine, this place was much more relaxed and the miners could even move around freely.

There are some raw spirit stone ores in the warehouse outside. This is what they have to guard. Although the quality is low, the quantity is large. A pile weighs tens of thousands of kilograms, and there are special people guarding it.

He went down the mine, briefly instructed the supervisor not to make things difficult for the miners, then left and went to the main camp.

Everyone from Team 7 is here.

"team leader."

"Hello, Captain."

More than a dozen team members greeted him. Except for a few people, they were all convinced. A person so young has combat power that can rival a foundation-building master. He must be extremely talented.

There were seven or eight people next to them, some of whom looked unfamiliar. A team member introduced them as Team 16, who would stay behind with them to hold the position.

In total, there were more than 20 people, the entire defense force of Songhu Mine. Half of them were above the eighth level of Qi Refining, and half were in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. One of them was even close to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and was the captain of Team 16.

"Friend Han, you are finally here."

The captain of Team 16 nodded to Chen Lang. He was holding a wooden stick. On the table was a small sand table seven feet long. The team members were sitting around him, all in silence with heavy expressions.

"You continue." Chen Lang waved his hand and asked them to continue talking. His mission was to defend the mine until he successfully withstood the attack of the Western leader. It was necessary to know the current situation.

The captain of Team 16 pointed at the sand table with a wooden stick and analyzed:
“The Qingmu Sect has clearly shown signs of sending reinforcements recently. The 20-man team they sent this time was their vanguard, intending to test our strength. Fortunately, they were dealt with in time by Team 7.

Having lost so many people, they will definitely not give up. A spy has just found out that the Qingmu Sect has mobilized more than a hundred people and stationed here, 130 miles away from us."

Where the stick pointed was another location marking the mine, but it was written in red dye, representing the enemy.

When they heard “more than a hundred people”, many team members breathed heavily. There were only more than twenty of them, and their skills were similar. How could they fight?
Some members of Team Seven regretted their decision. They were doing well in the rear, so why were they transferred to the front line?
"Don't be so nervous."

The captain of the 16th team said, "We have a protective formation at Songhu Mine, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if they have more than a hundred people, it will not be easy for them to attack in a short time."

"What if the attack lasts for a long time?" someone asked.

The captain of Team 16 smiled faintly, "It's enough to hold out until the mountain master sends reinforcements. Once the reinforcements arrive, they will naturally retreat."

"What if the mountain master doesn't support us?" Chen Lang asked.

The captain of Team 16 looked at him and said, "We must have confidence in the mountain owner. This mine belongs to him. Why shouldn't he support us?"

Chen Lang asked again, "Are you sure there are more than a hundred people? What is the highest level of cultivation?"

"determine."

The captain of Team 16 nodded, "I don't know the exact level of cultivation. Qingmu Sect has always lacked masters. The highest one will not be better than me. But we have more people."

Chen Lang nodded. That was good. He could easily beat ten captains of Team 16.

After some discussion and explanation until midnight, many team members left to wash and sleep, leaving only a few to be on duty outside.

They were all worried. The plan made sense, but to be honest, it was still a dangerous situation with only twenty of them fighting against more than a hundred people.

Some people are planning, should they flee in advance, or wait until the battle comes to escape? If they leave in advance, they will lose their salary this month, and if they flee when the battle comes, the risk is too high.

Many people fell into a deep sleep with such thoughts.

But Chen Lang got up, changed his clothes, took a battle map, a flag, and took the Seven Star Sword and left.

"Captain, what are you doing?" A team member saw it.

Chen Lang said: "I'm going out to do something and will be back later."

He left the base, stepped on the Seven Star Sword to fly, identified the direction, and flew into the twilight.

"I thought it was a small matter. This question is simple."

Chen Lang felt that these people were too conservative and had fallen into a misconception of thinking.

Why wait for the Aoki clan to send troops? They won’t be able to defeat them even if they come.

If we just push the base, won’t they be unable to send out troops?
