Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 161 Operation Thunder
The night was dark and snowy, and he had just occupied the Black Mountain Iron Mine, and all kinds of things were complicated. Lin Chuan didn't sleep until late at night when he was dealing with official duties.

"General, general—" Lin Chuan had just fallen asleep for two hours when he was awakened by the sound of a thunderstorm knocking on the door.

Lin Chuan knew that if there was nothing special, thunderstorms would not disturb him in the middle of the night. Lin Chuan turned over and got out of bed, grabbed his armor and put it on, and opened the door with his saber.

"But the imperial army in Jiuyuan Province started to attack?" Lin Chuan opened the door while dressing.

What Lin Chuan is most worried about now is the counterattack of the imperial army in Jiuyuan Province. After all, he has only one regiment now, and it is still a bit difficult to deal with it.

After opening the door, Lin Chuan saw Jiang Mingyue standing behind the thunderstorm with the torch.

Jiang Mingyue took a step forward and said straight to the point: "General, people starved to death in the miners' camp."

Lin Chuan frowned: "Didn't the rations just come out during the day?" Lin Chuan turned to look at Thunderstorm: "Thunderstorm, what happened?!"

Thunderstorm hastily said: "General, I distributed them to the miners according to the amount, and there is absolutely no greed."

"It's not a matter of food distribution, it's that the food that was distributed was taken away by the mine bully!" Jiang Mingyue said a little angrily.

"General, today you told me to pay attention to whether there are any suspicious people among the miners. I sent an undercover agent there. Just now he reported that more than 100 miners were collected by the miners during the day. Gone, two of the more than 100 people died of hunger and cold just now."

Lin Chuan asked, "Why didn't anyone report it?"

Jiang Mingyue sighed: "The mine tyrant has been domineering for a long time, and there are a group of people under him. Those who have been robbed of food dare not, for fear of being retaliated..."

"What a miner, let's see how many heads he has to chop off!" Lin Chuan gritted his teeth and sneered.

"Let's go to the miner's camp." Lin Chuan put on his armor and said to Jiang Mingyue and Thunderstorm.

Soon, a thousand soldiers directly under the guard of the Corps were assembled and rushed towards the temporary camp of the miners outside Heishan Town.

At night, the fire was shining, soldiers and horses were mobilized on the street, and the horseshoes made a rumbling sound. The people in Heishan Town were trembling with fear in their hearts.

The temporary camp of [-] miners was built with sturdy shacks, covered with straw, and the snow almost flooded the camp.

As soon as he stepped into the camp, Lin Chuan was almost relieved by the turbid air. The sewage in the miners camp was flowing, the smell was suffocating, and the living environment was extremely harsh.

"Tell me that the camp is sealed off, and no one can escape—" Lin Chuan ordered.

Soon, the soldiers directly under the guard ran towards the various exits of the miner's camp, and controlled all the exits in a short time.

At this time, a capable miner appeared from the darkness, and several guard soldiers rushed over.

Jiang Mingyue hurriedly said, "It's one of my own."

It turned out that the miner was from Jiang Mingyue's intelligence department. Someone came to salute Lin Chuan, and then led Lin Chuan and the others into the miner's camp.

In the middle of the night, most of the miners were already sound asleep. Lin Chuan and the others did not disturb them when they arrived. Under the leadership of the intelligence department, they turned left and right and walked outside a dilapidated shack.

"That's right here, they're already dead." The person from the intelligence department said, pointing to the shack.

Soon, several guard soldiers walked in with torches, but they quickly shook their heads and walked out: "General, there is no one inside, and there are no corpses."

Jiang Mingyue walked in with a sullen face, and walked out with a serious face, questioning the spy of the Intelligence Department, "Where is the person?!"

The secret agent of the intelligence department hastily explained: "I was there two hours ago, why didn't I see you—"

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "Take us to Kuangba first."

Secret agents of the Intelligence Department hurriedly led the way.

Soon, Lin Chuan and the others came to a tall tent, which was obviously much more luxurious than the shacks of ordinary miners.

"Who is it!" The people inside were very alert, and they heard the voice outside and asked aloud.

Lin Chuan didn't answer, and with a wave of his hand, two guards rushed into the tent with their sabers in hand.

"Ah!" With a scream, it was the soldier who entered first.

Hearing the screams, Thunderstorm rushed in with a warhammer, followed by more than a dozen guards.

Soon there was a roar in the dark tent, weapons ping-pong, and screams one after another, all the miners in the surrounding tents were awakened.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Thunderstorm came out covered in blood holding a warhammer. Behind Thunderstorm, two guards also covered in blood escorted a disheveled miner out.

The miner was still struggling with the curse, and under the blaze of the fire, the scar on his face looked particularly ferocious.

Thunderstorm kicked the miner's leg: "Kneel down!"

Under the huge force, the miner was firmly pressed into the snow, unable to resist.

"Say, who sent you here?" Lin Chuan squatted down and began to interrogate.

"Bah! Rebels!" The miner spat and cursed Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan kicked the miner's chest, and with a scream, the madman's chest collapsed.

Lin Chuan clapped his hands and stood up and said coldly, "Cut it off."

Jiang Mingyue asked for instructions: "Do you want to interrogate?"

"Arrest all suspicious people and interrogate yourself. Kill this person, he won't say anything."

"Rebels! So what if you kill me, the governor has already led the army to kill you, the governor will not spare you!" The miner suddenly yelled frantically.

Pooh!Blood spattered, and the mine bully's head rolled to the ground.

That night, the entire camp of the miners was not at peace. Numerous Nanchuan soldiers put on a martial law at every intersection and strictly ordered the miners to stay in their camps.

With the cooperation of the intelligence department personnel, the guards began to search the camps one by one, and countless miners were arrested on the spot. They were either intelligence personnel from Jiuyuan Province or representatives of unknown forces.

After tossing around in the middle of the night, two miners who starved to death were also found in the snow, and more than a dozen miners were beheaded by Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan sat in the miner's camp and interrogated the arrested people overnight.

Soon, Jiang Mingyue walked over quickly with a serious expression on his face.

"General, the results of the interrogation are out."

"Tell me, what kind of monsters and monsters are they?"

"Most of them are spies placed among the miners in Jiuyuan Province. The purpose is to cooperate with the mine supervisor to monitor every move of the miners. According to their account, they were instructed yesterday to incite the miners to create chaos for us. Cooperate with the dynasty army to counterattack."

Lin Chuan nodded, as expected, it seemed that the Governor of Jiuyuan Province could no longer hold back.

After all, Heishan Iron Mine is the treasure of Jiuyuan Province. Now it is captured by the Nanchuan Army. It is strange that he does not fight back, but Lin Chuan did not expect that he would want to use the miners to make trouble. This is what Lin Chuan ignored.

"There is another important piece of information—" Jiang Mingyue continued.

"We caught a man from the dark hall"

"What! The people in the dark hall, where are they?"

Jiang Mingyue sighed: "When he was arrested, he had committed suicide by taking poison. We judged from the mark on his arm that he was a member of the dark hall."

"It's really getting more and more lively. People from the dark hall even came to join in the fun."

However, Lin Chuan immediately felt relieved that the Black Mountain Iron Mine was such an important place, as the dynasty's intelligence agency, it would be strange if the dark hall didn't put people here.

Since someone in the dark hall is stationed here, it is definitely not alone. Wang Jing must have known about the situation of his capture of the Black Mountain Iron Mine by now, and maybe he has already started dispatching troops.

The Governor of Jiuyuan Province did not dare to report the loss of the Black Mountain Iron Mine. If Wang Jing knew about it, he would not have to be the Governor.

On the road leading to the Heishan Iron Mine, all the troops were on their way overnight. Under the strict order of the governor of the province, the garrison troops of Jiuyuan Province almost mobilized and charged towards the Heishan Iron Mine.
