Chapter 1164 The Indigenous Attack
The forest was a little quiet, with occasional sounds of birds and beasts coming.On the riverside of the expedition camp, there was a soldier standing guard outside the tent.Because it had just rained, they couldn't find enough dry firewood to keep the lights on, so they could only observe the surrounding situation by moonlight.

The long night made the sailors on watch couldn't help dozing off.

"Roar..." A Caucasian dog lying in the tent let out a low growl, baring its sharp teeth uneasily.

Another Caucasian dog saw its companion wake up, its ears perked up, and it also showed an uneasy growl.

"What's wrong?" Li Yizhu, who was curled up beside the two Caucasian dogs, was awakened by them.

"Wow, woof!" The two Caucasian dogs seemed to be frightened, and barked wildly!
This time, the people in the two tents were awakened by the barking of dogs.

Two vigilant giant dogs barked, indicating that there was a situation that made them feel extremely dangerous!

With a scoff, the sharp stone spear pierced into the tent, which happened to be about ten centimeters in front of Cao Bianjiao.Although the darkness in the tent made it difficult for everyone to see, Cao Bianjiao, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, realized the danger, and he brushed past the danger!

"Enemy attack!" Cao Bianjiao reached out and grabbed the musket and waist knife beside him!

There are more stone spears piercing into the tent!
"Ah!" A man was stabbed by a stone spear and let out a shrill scream.

Almost everyone in the tent grabbed their weapons and crawled out towards the tent exit.

They stay in the dark tent, unable to distinguish between the enemy and their own people, and will only become the target of the enemy.

"Kerosene lamp...!" Cao Bianjiao looked for the kerosene lamp in the tent, but it was urgent, and he had no time to find a kerosene lamp that could be illuminated.

Boom!After the night watch sailors reacted, they frantically shot at the natives who entered the camp by moonlight!
The moonlight was sparse, and he could see dozens of figures holding spears breaking into the camp in the darkness, and the spears were stabbing towards the tent!
The sound of muskets startled the natives holding spears, and some of them rushed towards the direction where the gunshots sounded just now.

"No!" The nervous night watchman just now didn't shoot any of the natives. The natives were fearless and let him slip the bullets when he was loading the paper bullets.

At this time, the natives who broke into the camp were already very close to him!The musket becomes less reliable under the close attack of the fearless natives in the dark!

The night watch soldiers quickly reached for the sabers at their waists, and fought with the natives in the dark.

"Ah!" There was the sound of fighting in the camp. In the chaos, it was difficult to distinguish the enemy from the moonlight.

"Follow my instructions, follow my voice to retreat, gather together, and don't be scattered by them! Make your voice when fighting, so as not to hurt your own people!" Cao Bianjiao used his saber to fight against the enemy in the dark, while Shout out to get partners to gather.

Only they can understand the language of their own people. When everyone gathers together, they can safely and boldly use muskets without worrying about shooting their own people in the dark and chaos.As long as the dawn breaks, they can organize a counterattack.

What are the night watchmen doing? They didn't find out until the natives broke into the camp!Cao Bianjiao's heart was broken, but now is not the time to punish him, he must repel the offensive of the natives as soon as possible!

It was not easy to gather the people who were fighting the natives. In the dark, they used iron tools to fight the natives holding stone spears and axes. It was difficult to escape, and stone arrows flew in.

The untrained mineral experts held muskets, and they were in a hurry to shoot aimlessly.

"Wang!" The ferocity of the two Caucasian dogs was almost close to that of wild wolves. They guarded Li Yizhu and rushed towards the enemies who besieged Li Yizhu.

Their sharp noses can distinguish friend from foe!

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hui!" Li Yizhu held a musket in his hand, completely at a loss.

She could hear the barking of two Caucasian dogs and the screams of enemies bitten by Caucasian dogs.

She dared not shoot in the dark, for fear that the musket would hit her teammates and the two Caucasian dogs.

Li Yizhu heard Cao Bianjiao's instructions, and she retreated in the direction of Cao Bianjiao's voice.

"Ah!" Li Yizhu heard the sound of a weapon stabbing at her through the air in the dark, and subconsciously pulled the gun.

A flash of fire!
In fright, Li Yizhu fell back to the ground due to the recoil of the musket, and a group of figures fell in front of her.

"Huh—" Li Yizhu shot at such a close range for the first time, and it was also the first time that he brushed shoulders with death, exhaling white air in the cold night.

She thought that at this time, she should reload the bullets as soon as possible, otherwise the musket without the bayonet was just a wooden stick.

"Bullets... where are the bullets?!" Li Yizhu checked himself, and suddenly remembered that he had put the twenty rounds of bullets he had received in the tent. He hadn't brought them out when he escaped from the tent just now!
Li Yizhu got up in a hurry, the musket without bullets was really just a long stick!

"Woo hoo hoo!" There was a strange cry from the forest, and another group of natives attacked at night. They connected with each other with unique calls, as if they were hunting in the jungle, and they were organized in an orderly manner.

Cao Bianjiao's face turned pale. The other party was familiar with this mountain forest, and obviously regarded them as invaders, and used the power of the entire tribe to encircle and suppress them.Just listening to the sound and footsteps, Cao Bianjiao judged that the number of the other party might be more than a hundred.

If it was in the daytime, Cao Bianjiao believed that the momentum of the muskets could scare off these natives, but at night, the other party did not know that their companions were shot and killed by the terrible muskets. They just regarded Cao Bianjiao and others as enemies of other tribes. exterminate.

"Should we split up and hide and wait until dawn to come back here?!" A person in the melee shouted.

"Then let's use this place as our goal, and wait until dawn. If we are still alive, we will meet up at the place where the boat is!" Cao Bianjiao saw that the crowd could not gather, so he had to break up the whole group and retreat.

Among these people, Cao Bianjiao was not at ease with the two geologists and Li Yizhu, who was a physician.The other sailors are veterans from the Nanyang Fleet, and these three are all college graduates, and their combat performance and psychological quality cannot be compared with the veterans at all.

However, it was difficult for Cao Bianjiao to find these three people while fighting the enemy in the dark night.He was fighting with a few natives holding stone spears, and he had exhausted all his strength to deal with the enemy with the sword skills he learned on the battlefield!

It seems that they can only settle down to their own destiny, and wait until dawn before gathering people to counterattack.The helpless Cao Bianjiao relied on the memories of the nearby terrain in his mind to hold back the enemy as much as possible and provide his teammates with a chance to escape first.
