Wang Xijia's appeal in Shanghekou is obviously much greater than that of Carpenter Liu, most of the villagers live in small western-style buildings made of reinforced concrete in the way of Wang Xijia, and Carpenter Liu's wooden thatched house has also been built, and everyone happily moves into their new homes.

Only Wang Xika and Meng Jianniang are still living in tents - because Wang Xijia's own residence, the Forbidden City, has not yet been built. Zach couldn't stand it, so he took Wang Xijia to his house and lived.

Looking at his wife's bulging belly, Wang Xika also felt that he couldn't help it: he let his wife suffer in order to be angry with Carpenter Liu, would it seem that his IQ was too low? Even if he wanted to prove that he was better at building a wooden house, he didn't need to spend 20 years building a Forbidden City.

Wang Xijia called someone, quietly built a small western-style building with a swimming pool for himself, and after building it, he moved out of Zack's house with Meng Jianniang, and the progress of the Forbidden City gradually slowed down. The upper estuary is back to its former peace, and everyone is very happy with their new residence, doing some farm work every day, riding motorcycles, and if it weren't for the lack of electricity, it would be no different from a modern village.

But there are some people who don't want the villagers of Shanghekou to live this kind of life, and that is the artisan tribe. Since the last time the main force was annihilated by Wang Xijia at the entrance of the village, the craftsmen have not launched large-scale attacks, but have changed to small-scale harassment. In particular, the harassment of the veins and oil fields in the upper estuary has hardly stopped. Today they robbed a pile of iron ore and tomorrow they set fire to the oil fields, which made the people of the villages working in the mining area panic, and everyone had to strengthen the patrol team and patrol the mining area day and night. Wang Xijia himself moved to the mining area to build a shed, and the workers mined the mine and oil and piled them together, and then escorted them back, and gradually there were fewer things to rob the mine.

But the accident still happened, it was sunny that day, and Meng Jianniang had a whim, wanting to take the carriage they used on their first trip to the mining area to find Wang Xijia. As a result, in broad daylight, 5 or 6 craftsmen jumped out to block the road and rob. If it weren't for the coachman who brought a gun and resisted desperately, then Meng Jianniang and the child in her belly would have to be confessed here.

Wang Xika was furious and vowed revenge. Even Meng Jianniang, who is known as "not like dead people", asked Wang Xika to try her best to eliminate this group of bandits and maintain the safety of everyone's lives and property. The so-called thief captures the king first, and if you don't take the nest of the craftsman tribe, this group of people will not give up. Zach is also very supportive of this proposal, he has long wanted to avenge his people, but Wang Xijia has never taken the initiative to attack, and he himself is not easy to mention.

Now that his wife's safety has been threatened, Wang Xijia can't bear it anymore. Why should you endure the harassment of craftsmen when you are so strong? Instead of taking so many defensive measures, it is better to take the initiative to go to the craftsmen to fight, why do you always wait for others to fight? The best defense is to attack.

If you want to fight, you must first prepare for battle, and the villagers of Shanghekou have suffered from the harassment of craftsmen, just like the Mao people were harassed by craftsmen back then. Everyone was indignant, saying that they had long wanted to teach the craftsman a lesson, as long as Wang Xika spoke, he could immediately go into battle to kill the enemy, and the pre-war mobilization was easy to do.

The craftsman also sent spies to do reconnaissance before attacking Shanghekou, and Wang Xijia naturally had to find out the enemy's strength first. He found a few young men with good skills and Lang Naduo to form a reconnaissance team, and found out the situation of the craftsmen's residence. Since the last time this craftsman defeated the Maoren coalition army, his territory has expanded rapidly, with tens of thousands of combat troops, and his tentacles once reached Taohua Town and Xiahekou Village near Shanghekou. It's just that he suffered a loss in the last battle, so he retreated to his original sphere of influence.

After the enemy situation was almost touched, Wang Xijia gathered together the young people who were willing to fight in the upper and lower estuaries of the river, about 500 or so, the number was a little less than that of the craftsman tribe, but advanced weapons were everything. In addition to rifles and grenades, Wang Xika rushed to produce dozens of 60mm mortars, and the technology of the car is not yet mature, but it is enough to have a motorcycle. Wang Xijia added a side pocket to the motorcycle, modified into a side three-wheeled one, and each side pocket can seat two people, so that a motorcycle can carry three combatants.

As for Zack, the hairy man, although he repeatedly said that he preferred to use bows and arrows and swords, Wang Xika still gave him an AK47, but rubbed the trigger retainer off, so that his huge fingers could pull the trigger.

The past is ready, only the east wind is owed. Wang Xijia sent Peng Lianhu with more than a dozen people and seven or eight guns to send Meng Jianniang to Zecheng first, and let the cheeks be transported to Coffee Island to raise the fetus. Craftsmen do not have the ability to cross the sea, Cafe Island is a safe place, and Dr. Nikolai on the island is skilled enough to take care of pregnant women. After sending away his wife and relieving his worries, it's time to teach this group of craftsmen a good lesson.

Wang Xijia chose to attack at noon, because at this time the vision was relatively good. In addition, noon is the time for the craftsmen to take a nap, and everyone is tired, and the craftsmen's horses often cannot run in the hot weather.

Just like Wang Xijia's motorized troops defeated the craftsmen's cavalry at the gate of Shanghekou, when you rode a motorcycle and held a gun, the craftsman with a cold weapon was as easy as hunting, and within two hours Wang Xika cleaned up the craftsmen in the original place where the black hair lived, and in the evening he recovered the snow mountain where the original white hair lived.

In this way, the land painstakingly managed by the craftsmen was lost one after another in half a day, and Wang Xijia's side had no loss except for two motorcycles that had an accident due to mechanical failure. The whole process was as easy as crossing the road at 5 a.m., and everyone camped in the snowy mountains at night.

Since the last time he said goodbye to Qiuqiu, Wang Xika came to this place for the first time. The scene of drinking and dancing together is still vivid, but now it is a thing and a person. Zach returns to his hometown after a long absence, and he can't help himself. The tall hairy man knelt at the door of his tent, kissing the snow under his feet, and was reluctant to get up for a long time. When he looked up again, his eyes were full of tears.

Wang Xika patted Zach on the shoulder and didn't say anything, any language was so weak at this time. After Zack finished expressing his emotions, everyone began to make a fire and cook, because there was still a war the next day, so Wang Xika was not allowed to drink. Now that the scope of the craftsmen's activities has returned to before the war with the Maoren, Wang Xijia thinks that it will take another two or three hours to finish it by waiting until dawn.

During the battle, many artisan prisoners were captured, and Zach advocated killing them all, but Wang Xika disagreed, he was a man of modern education and refused to shoot the prisoners. The people who started the war are evil, but these ordinary soldiers are innocent. The craftsman captives stared at Wang Xika with big eyes, and they were all scared to death. Wang Xijia was expressionless, and just asked a few soldiers to take care of them and wait for the battle to end tomorrow.

You can't kill the captives Wang Xijia, and you can't let them go, as soon as you put them back, they promise to take up arms and fight again, and if they don't do well, they will be killed. The best way to treat prisoners of war is, of course, to let them come to their side as laborers, and it takes people to build houses and factories, but this takes time, and it is obviously not enough to rely on one night alone, and they have to be naturalized slowly.

Wang Xijia stayed up all night and personally patrolled around the camp, on the one hand, for fear that his soldiers would secretly kill prisoners, and on the other hand, the craftsmen were scheming, fearing that someone would sneak attack.

When the east was white, Wang Xijia finally breathed a sigh of relief, the night was finally spent safely, and the rest of the matter was easy to do. He made himself a cup of black coffee for breakfast, instructed the soldiers to check their weapons, and filled up the motorcycle. After today's battle, there will be no more craftsmen in this world, and everyone can return to a peaceful life again.

If you were a craftsman, how would you face this war? Maybe you would send someone to negotiate or surrender or something. After all, the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides is obvious, and the craftsmen will not be able to win this war in any case. If the craftsman sends someone to negotiate, then Wang Xijia is willing to reach an agreement with the craftsman, and everyone will live in harmony. However, no, the craftsmen did not send men to attack or surrender.

After Wang Xijia finished drinking coffee, he looked up at the sky, it was already bright, so he took a deep breath and said, "Let's go!"

The troops marched out and launched a general assault on the craftsmen's lair.
