The first thousand one hundred and sixty-nine chapters seven civilized battles (5)
Clam, cllam, cllam. The semi-cunder made of grass tendons, branches and leaves drifted behind the building, and faint sounds of metal and stones hit.
"Damn it, don't be discovered. If the fire is discovered before it is lit, then it's over." Cao Bianjiao leaned behind the thatched hut. He had a piece of flint and iron in his hand, and a small amount of gunpowder removed from the paper shell bullet in front of him.
Although the amount of gunpowder in the paper shell is very small, it is only used for fire. When Mars ignites it, the flames will quickly swallow the original house.
The flint and iron sheets that he carried with him were already the last resort that Cao Bianjiao used to catch fire, although the sound of the fire might expose his location.
Some natives nearby seemed to hear this sound that was not unfamiliar to them, and making fire from flint is also a common method they use.
Two natives came towards the direction where Cao Bianjiao was.
The four musketeers hiding in the bush all pointed the muskets at the two natives who were approaching Cao Bianjiao.
If Cao Bianjiao was discovered before the fire broke out, they could only cover Cao Bianjiao's retreat.
With a loud bang, gunpowder was ignited by Mars, and the fire quickly jumped up the roof along the dead leaves and straw, and black smoke rose!
Cao Bianjiao covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth, and was still hiding nearby. He took down a branch and secretly led the fire to other thatched huts around him. When the tribe was busy trying to put out the fire, several half-crystal thatched huts had been engulfed by the raging fire!
A middle-aged man with a feather crown on his head and an old man came out of the largest half-crypt thatched hut. When he saw the fire on his tribe, he showed a panic expression. The old man even regarded the sudden fire as a natural disaster and muttered something.
The tribe members came to put out the fire in a hurry, but the drop in the bucket was unable to put out the surging fire! The flames were a disaster for the thatched huts that were prone to burn, and the high temperatures made the tribes' faces covered with sweat.
"Those two people are the leaders of each other. As long as they subdued them, they can buy time for the captain to find our supplies." Two people holding sabers in the bushes looked at each other and could easily see that the middle-aged and old people were the leaders of each other's tribes.
In clan society, they are like grandparents and have great power.
The two soldiers looked at each other and rushed out almost at the same time! When the tribe members found out that they appeared, they had already put the sword on their necks!
"No one is allowed to move! Otherwise we will kill them!" The two soldiers shouted loudly, and the saber in their hands trembled slightly!
They held their leader among hundreds of people, and one accidentally might fall into a siege of hundreds!
The language was not clear, but the scolding and saber made the natives understand that their chief was being held hostage!
Hundreds of natives surrounded them, many of them holding stone spears, stone axes, bows and arrows, and were nervously staring at two soldiers in strange clothes for them. They had attacked a group of "outsiders" who invaded their tribal territory two days ago, and the two soldiers suddenly appeared in front of them looked similar to those of outsiders.
"Ohhh!" The two tribe leaders who were held on their necks were even pale. They issued orders to their tribe members in ancient language.
The middle-aged man tried to break free, but when his neck was cut by the sharp blade of the saber, he did not dare to move.
Compared with stone slabs, the saber, which was specially designed for war, blows hair and cuts hair!
The two soldiers felt that they were constantly sweating down their bodies at this time. They were hated by hundreds of people. If they rushed over...
Cao Bianjiao took advantage of the fact that almost everyone's attention was diverted and secretly touched the thatched hut that was suspected of storing food. According to Cao Bianjiao's observation, their supplies were unlikely to be taken to the homes of ordinary people in the tribe, but were likely to be piled up in the tribe for storing excess food.
He broke into the half-hole wooden house, and there was a figure inside. A cold light flashed, and the sword in Cao Bianjiao's hand was stained with blood.
"It's true here!" Cao Bianjiao could distinguish the situation inside through the light from the cracks between the branches and thatch, and found a large wooden box.
The wooden box contains pickaxes, shovels, paper shells, herbs, compass and other supplies. It seems that the natives have no time to deal with these supplies. However, bedding and other warm things are gone, and I don’t know if they are used by the natives.
"There are actually three muskets." Cao Bianjiao saw that the muskets next to the wooden box were placed randomly on the ground. It was obvious that the natives didn't know how to use muskets, and they didn't know the power of such firearms.
Then Cao Bianjiao found the kerosene lamp again.
Outside, hundreds of indigenous people surrounded the two soldiers who held their chief and elders hostage. Both sides were at a strife. Some indigenous people wanted to try to rescue the hostage chief and elders, and were ready to move.
Bang! A gunshot suddenly sounded in the bushes, and a native who was trying to go around the back of two soldiers fell down. There was a gunshot wound on his back, and blood flowed, scaring the surrounding natives to take a few steps back.
They looked at their companions who were lying on the ground in horror, and looked around, but they could not find the enemy, and they could not tell what the wound was causing except for the bloody wounds on their companions.
During the night attack, they couldn't see clearly and did not know the weapons they used by the other party. They only felt the terribleness of the musket until now! For them, this was a mysterious force like witchcraft that killed people invisibly!
People are most afraid of unknown things!
Li Yizhu, who fired this shot, hid in the bush, and the gun chamber was still a little hot.
She still has a numb scalp. Although she learned to use muskets during her wild survival training in Ryukyu, she actually came to the west coast of North America to establish colonies. She had not fired a gun until she had a conflict with local tribes. This time, a person who studied crop cultivation was forced to participate in the conflict between civilizations and killed people with muskets.
Bang! After Li Yizhu fired, other musketeers hiding in the dark also fired one after another.
Two or three restless natives fell down.
The sound of muskets and the falling companions brought great fear to the tribe natives. Almost everyone was sweating profusely and looked around with even more horror. But they still couldn't see anyone or beast.
"Ah!" Finally, some natives could not bear the terrifying thing that kept dying for no reason, and fled deep into the mountains and forests!
The escape of one or two people eventually triggered a great collapse of the tribe, and people rushed to escape into the mountains and forests.
