Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1170 The Battle of Seven Civilizations ([-])

Clang, clang, clang.Behind the half-ground cave-dwelling buildings made of grass tendons, branches and leaves, there was the faint knocking sound of metal and stones.

"Damn it, don't be found out. If you are found out before the fire is lit, it's game over." Cao Bianjiao leaned against the back of the thatched hut, with a piece of flint and iron in his hand, and a few paper shells in front of him. The gunpowder that was removed from it.

Although the amount of gunpowder in the paper shell bomb is small, it is only used for fire. When it is ignited by sparks, the flame will quickly engulf the original house.

The flint and iron flakes that he carried with him are now the last resort used by Cao Bianjiao to start a fire, although the sound of the fire may reveal his location.

The aborigines nearby seem to have heard this sound that is not unfamiliar to them, and making fire with flint is also a common method for them.

Two natives walked towards Cao Bianjiao's direction.

The four musketeers hiding in the bushes aimed their 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 bang, the gunpowder was ignited by sparks, and the fire quickly shot up the roof along the dead leaves and straw, and black smoke came out!
Cao Bianjiao covered his mouth and nose with a damp cloth, and still hid nearby. He tore down a branch and secretly directed the fire to other thatched cottages around.When the people in the tribe were in a hurry to put out the fire, several half-underground thatched huts had already been engulfed by raging fire!
A middle-aged man with a feather crown on his head and an old man came out of the largest half-underground thatched hut. When they saw the burning tribe, they showed panic expressions. The old man even regarded the sudden fire as a natural disaster and said Say something.

The clansmen in the tribe hurriedly came to put out the fire, but the raging fire couldn't be extinguished at all!The fire is a disaster for the thatched huts that are easy to burn, and the high temperature makes the faces of the clansmen sweat.

"Those two people are the leaders of the other party. As long as we subdue them, we can buy time for the captain to find our supplies." The two men holding sabers in the bushes glanced at each other, and it was easy to see what happened. The middle-aged man and the old man are each other's tribal leaders.

In the clan society, they are like the big patriarchs, possessing enormous power.

The two soldiers looked at each other and rushed out almost at the same time!When the clansmen found out that they had appeared, they had already put the sabers around their necks!
"Everyone is not allowed to move! Otherwise we will kill them!" The two soldiers shouted sharply, the sabers in their hands trembling slightly!

They hijacked their leaders among hundreds of people, and if they were not careful, they might fall into the siege of hundreds of people!

The language barrier, but the scolding and the saber made the natives understand that their chief was held hostage!
Hundreds of natives surrounded the two of them, and many of them held stone spears, stone axes, bows and arrows, staring nervously at the two soldiers dressed in strange clothes to them.They attacked a group of "outsiders" who invaded their tribal territory two days ago, and the two soldiers who suddenly appeared in front of them looked similar to the outsiders.

"Woo la!" The faces of the two tribal leaders with sabers on their necks turned even paler, and they gave orders to the tribe in ancient languages.

The middle-aged man tried to break free, but when his neck was bloodied by the sharp blade of the saber due to the struggle, he dared not move.

Compared with flakes of stone, sabers specially made for war are blown away!

The two soldiers only felt that they were sweating continuously, but they were hated by hundreds of people, if they rushed forward...

Taking advantage of the distraction of almost everyone's attention, Cao Bianjiao secretly touched the thatched hut where the food was suspected to be stored.According to Cao Bianjiao's observation, their supplies are unlikely to be sent to the homes of ordinary people in the tribe by the other party, but are likely to be piled up in the place where the tribe stores excess food.

He broke into the half-hole wooden house, there was a group of figures inside, a cold light flashed, and the saber in Cao Bianjiao's hand was stained with blood.

"Sure enough it's here!" Cao Bianjiao could discern the situation inside through the light that penetrated through the cracks between the branches and thatch, and found a large wooden box.

Inside the wooden box were picks, shovels, cardboard bullets, medicinal herbs, compass and other supplies. It seemed that the natives had no time to dispose of these supplies.However, the warm things such as bedding are missing, and I don’t know if they were used by the indigenous people.

"There are still three muskets." Cao Bianjiao saw that the muskets beside the wooden box were randomly placed on the ground. Obviously, the natives didn't know how to use muskets, let alone the power of such firearms.

Then Cao Bianjiao found the kerosene lamp again.

Outside, hundreds of natives surrounded the two soldiers who had held their chief and elder hostage. The two sides were at war with each other. Some natives wanted to try to rescue the chief and elder who had been held hostage, just around the corner.

Boom!Suddenly there was a gunshot in the bushes, and an aborigine who was trying to go around behind the two soldiers and attack them fell down.There was a gunshot wound on his back, and the blood was flowing, and the surrounding natives took a few steps back in fright.

They watched in horror as their comrades who fell on the ground screamed in pain, and looked around, but they couldn't find the enemy, and the companions couldn't see any trauma except for the bloody wounds.

Because they couldn't see clearly during the night attack, they didn't know the weapon used by the other party, and they didn't feel the horror of the musket until now!For them, this is a mysterious power like witchcraft that kills people invisible!

People are most afraid of the unknown!
Li Yizhu who fired the shot hid in the bushes, the barrel of the gun was still a little hot.

Her scalp is still numb. Although she learned how to use a musket in Ryukyu's field survival training, she actually came to the west coast of North America to establish a colony. She hadn't fired a gun until the conflict with the local tribe.This time she was a person who studied growing crops, was forced to participate in the clash of civilizations, and killed people with muskets.

Boom!After Li Yizhu shot, other musketeers hiding in the dark also shot one after another.

Another two or three restless natives fell.

The sound of muskets in the dark and the fallen companions brought great fear to the natives of the tribe. Almost everyone was sweating profusely, and their eyes looked around with even more horror.But they still couldn't see any Man and Beast.

"Ah!" Finally, some natives couldn't bear the horrible thing of people dying inexplicably, and fled to the depths of the mountains and forests!

The escape of one or two people eventually led to the collapse of the tribe, and people rushed to escape to the mountains and forests.

They even found that there were still gunshots when they fled, and some people were shot by bullets flying from nowhere while fleeing, and fell to the ground staggeringly!
