Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1165
"Ah!" Li Yizhu screamed in a panic.

The knife in Cao Bianjiao's hand was only two or three inches away from her, and it stopped abruptly.

If he hadn't recognized Li Yizhu's voice in the dark, the Tang knife in his hand might have been chopped off.

Being hunted down by the natives made him tense. After fleeing into the forest, he collided with the retreating Li Yizhu, and almost regarded Li Yizhu as an enemy.

"You are..." Li Yizhu's voice came from the darkness.

But before she could finish speaking, Cao Bianjiao covered her mouth.

"Hush! It's not safe here!" Cao Bianjiao lowered his voice.

He took Li Yizhu's hand, and carefully moved forward to places that were more difficult to be found.

It is a strange place to the two of them, but it is not necessarily a place that is also unfamiliar to the natives. If one is not careful, he will fall into the trap of himself!

The two groped in the dark all the way to the back of a boulder before stopping.The mountain road after the rain was extremely muddy, and their clothes were messed up because of the mud and water drops, but in order to save their lives, they didn't care about their appearance at this time.

"Huh—" The two squatted behind the boulder, they could hear each other's weak breathing, but they didn't dare to talk to each other.

If the night watch soldier is still alive, he must be sent to a military court!Cao Bianjiao leaned on the boulder, finally calmed down.

If the night watchmen could find the enemy in advance and then organize troops to defend the camp, Cao Bianjiao believed that even if he and his party could not defeat hundreds of natives at night, they would not be in such a mess at all!A group of people with muskets were chased away by natives who used stone tools as weapons. This kind of thing spread to the military headquarters, and it would become a shame for him since he joined the army!

There are also important dry food, toolboxes, and bedding still in the tent. Without such important supplies, their next expedition can almost be said to be over, and even returning to Jinshan Town will be difficult.Winter nights are not easy at all... Cao Bianjiao quickly thought about the consequences of this incident and how to deal with it.

"Huh——" Li Yizhu curled up on one side. When she ran out of the tent, she didn't bring any heavy clothes, and the temperature dropped at night. Running in the humid mountain forest made most of her clothes soaked. She trembled from the cold, and her lips were purple from the cold.

Just when Li Yizhu was shivering because of the cold, Cao Bianjiao handed over his coat.

"Do not……"

"Shh! Don't make a sound!"

Cao Bianjiao gave Li Yizhu no room to refuse, so she had no choice but to take the coat, which was still a little warm.

The two dared not talk, but hid behind the rocks and waited until dawn.Only during the day can they give full play to their firearm advantages.

The winter night was very cold, and there were occasional sounds of beasts and insects. Fortunately, Cao Bianjiao and Li Yizhu did not encounter grizzly bears and wild wolves, otherwise they might become the targets of wild beasts in the dark.

The long night gradually passed during the tormented waiting of the two, and the mountains and forests gradually became brighter.But the weather doesn't seem to be very good, there is no sunshine, but cloudy.

"Captain, are you okay?" Li Yizhu saw Cao Bianjiao's appearance clearly. At this time, Cao Bianjiao was carrying a musket on his back, and the Tang knife in his hand was still stained with coagulated blood.

Because he gave Li Yizhu his coat at night, Cao Bianjiao survived the night almost with a strong will, his thick lips turned purple.

However, Cao Bianjiao didn't seem to be aware of his frostbite, but stood up and said: "I haven't heard footsteps all night, it seems that the indigenous tribes will not come to this area. We need to find the way back to the original place as soon as possible. Join the others as soon as possible... I don't know where this is..."

"If Xiao Hei and Xiao Hui are here, we can easily find our way back..." Li Yizhu also tried to stand up, but she almost fell because of her sore legs and feet, but was fortunately supported by Cao Bianjiao.

"They might have been killed...but it's hard to say..." Cao Bianjiao was not optimistic about the status of the two giant Caucasian dogs.

Although the aborigines in this area are still in the Stone Age, human civilization can hunt giants like mammoths in the Stone Age. It is hard to say whether the two Caucasian giant dogs can survive the fierce battle last night.

"Xiao Hei and Xiao Hui were protecting me last night, so I was able to escape smoothly. They will be fine!" Li Yizhu said.

"I hope so... It may be that when we burned the fire yesterday, the smoke alarmed the tribes living in this area. It may be the more warlike tribes. They thought we had invaded their territory, so they attacked us under the moonlight .Since they took the initiative, this revenge must be avenged in the future... I don’t know if any of us survived the battle last night. Especially the two mineral experts, without them we can only return to Jinshan Town. The worst The situation is that only the two of us are still alive."

Cao Bianjiao regained his composure at this time, and he made the worst judgment, that is, the whole team was wiped out, leaving only the two of them.He has seen more tragic scenes than this since he was a child, and he did not lose his courage because he was attacked by the natives last night.Even if he was left alone, Cao Bianjiao could find a way to escape back to Jinshan Town and make a comeback.

"Only the two of us are still alive..." Li Yizhu had never experienced such a terrible situation. Just thinking of all the team members being victimized in the attack, he couldn't help shaking and wanting to vomit.

"This is the worst guess, we have to be mentally prepared. The most important thing on the battlefield is to survive! I have seen hundreds of soldiers die in a battle before, and those who were hit by shells were torn apart, Some people were buried alive... Once it comes to fighting, people will use cruel means to deter the enemy, especially in primitive tribes. The attack last night was a bit sudden, but compared with the battlefield, it is already considered good." Cao Bianjiao calmed down After coming down, he said.

To be so calm, it seems that there is still some indifference to life.Li Yizhu looked at the battle-tested young commander in front of him, and thought, could this be an officer who had experienced life and death on the battlefield?In the eyes of the generals, every single life is a necessary bargaining chip for his side to win.

"Let me see if your musket is still usable." Cao Bianjiao carefully wiped Li Yizhu's musket clean, checked it carefully, and found that it was not damaged.

"I have bullets wrapped in oiled paper here, share some with you, our two muskets are enough to repel possible enemies during the day." Cao Bianjiao sent the bullets he carried with him to Li Yizhu, "Remember not to let the muskets enter the water again, let's go Look for boats to join the others."
