"Lord Xia, 7 more people were attacked at night."

"Bastard thing!"

Xia Jie was angry and dropped the batter porridge for breakfast.

It's been 3 days, it's been 3 whole days, and every night someone is being attacked on my side. Fortunately, there were not too many casualties, only 2 people died and 1 person was injured yesterday, and they were all explorers and not Dongshan Qianzhuang's own people.

"What about the losses?"

The person who came to report suddenly had an extremely ugly face, and even if he was worried about being angry, he could only bite the bullet and say: "A brother died, and his fire gun was lost." ”

This is not good news.

There was a phenomenon of escape on the other side of the camp, and Xia Jie was told by the guards who had escaped, and Xia Jie had to take people back to kill and recapture the camp where most of the people had run. In fact, the people ran away, he didn't care, even if the people who ran away went to tell Liu Yifeng, he didn't care.

The only distressing thing is that 3 guns were lost, and 2 were wet and needed to be maintained for a period of time. In other words, his 50 firearms were instantly reduced by one-tenth.

However, the 45 firecrackers in the folk of Dongshan Prefecture can still be regarded as a king and hegemonic level, and he is still full of confidence in defeating Liu Yifeng to master this gold rush land.

So he simply abandoned the camp, took the rest of the men with him as laborers, and started again.

Unexpectedly, the nightmare began.

From the first night, they were harassed and attacked incessantly.

This directly led to the angry team barely advancing the next day, but scattered to catch the rats, but unfortunately with little success.

Given that the other side has at least 3 firearms, the explorers who executed the search order were grinding in the open. The people of Dongshan Qianzhuang are angry but helpless, and force these explorers into the dangerous woods, then you have to follow in, or they will find a corner you can't see and hide.

And the people of Dongshan Qianzhuang are essentially afraid that they will eat yin guns when they enter a secret place like the woods, so they force the explorers to enter, and as a result, they have to follow in, so how much point is there to force the explorers.

That day's search didn't even touch their hair, but they made a lot of preparations to deal with Xia Jie's counterattack as if they were facing a great enemy, but they all showed the blind man.

However, this did not affect their morale, and there was another big fight that night.

This time, Xia Jie directly forced everyone into the woods, and the col went to search for them, and the back hand arranged by them was finally angry. It's mainly a trap, because of the lack of tools, they can't make any deadly traps, but they can disgust people and make people have a mentality, which they learned from Liu Yifeng.

The trap is not a sharpened wooden spike, but their excrement.

The mentality of the explorers and the firecrackers of Dongshan Qianzhuang has been completely ruined, and as a result, more people have fallen into similar traps.

In fact, only the first few traps are excrement, there are only 5 of them, how many can be pulled, and the back is basically yellow mud and the like. It's just that with the previous traps, Xia Jie's people have fallen into inertial thinking.

Last night they changed their tactics, no longer attacking just once, but harassing them separately from two directions in pairs. This trick belonged to the trick he used when facing the 4 explorers on the meadow, and the enemy was tired and disturbed.

With the lessons of the first two nights, many people didn't sleep peacefully last night, especially Aobai, in order to make the harassment effect good, the first wave of sneak attacks made everyone attack, forcibly killing 1 person and injuring 1 person.

It was because of the first casualty in three nights, and the entire camp was full of soldiers and trees, and the nerves were tense to the extreme, so that the harassment of Aobai took turns to be effective. Almost at the slightest stir, the explorers and firecrackers in the camp jumped up and chased after them like monkeys burned by fire.

And the captured firecrackle was purely accidental, a fiery firecracker accidentally broke away from the team when he pursued Cui Yongzhi, and they could only "reluctantly" worship this great gift to his subordinates. Moreover, this musketeer also carried a large amount of ignition powder and bullets, which greatly alleviated the ammunition crisis of Aobai.

Xia Jie knew that he couldn't go on like this, there were already 4 firecrackers on the other side, and if he let them harass him like this, when he fell to Liu Yifeng's base camp, the morale of the team would be gone.

Moreover, after they set off, they also found several human bones that had been eaten by animals, judging from the belongings that they were the henchmen and others he had sent out before.

Two of the bones were not eaten by animals, and the degree of decay was not high in the morning, and experienced explorers judged that they had died from humans, and some people in the hands of the fire guns could see the wounds caused by the fire guns on the corpses.

This all means that Liu Yifeng and they are likely to be on guard.

"We divide our forces." Xia Jie turned out to be a bowl of noodle porridge for himself again, and after taking a sip, he said: "They are deliberately delaying our trip, so we can't fall for their tricks, we divide the troops." ”

The subordinate nodded, thinking that it was feasible, and hurriedly flattered: "Lord Xia is wise, judging from the extent of harassing us in the past three days, the enemy is indeed not numerous. We divided our forces, leaving some elite to ambush them, and the large force continued to advance. When they show their feet, let the elite teach them a lesson! ”

Xia Jie nodded: "That's it, you go and arrange it." ”

"Yes."

After his men left, Xia Jie called another explorer: "You said they built the city wall?" ”

"Yes, Shopkeeper Xia." This explorer Xia Jie couldn't wait for the henchman killed by Ao Bai, and the second person sent out to explore the way, he was a guide in his hometown, and he was very talented in finding the road like Li Qi. He avoided Aobai, found the way out of the two camps, and found Liu Yifeng's base camp.

"How high are the walls?"

"Three people tall, half a person thick."

Unexpectedly, Xia Jie didn't react at all, and waved his hand to let the explorer who was responsible for leading the way go down.

"Wooden walls, what am I afraid of." Xia Jie said as he walked to his tent, there were 4 people from Dongshan Qianzhuang holding firearms, and they hurriedly said hello when they saw him come in.

Xia Jie ordered the four of them to open the box in the team's baggage, which had always been the most guarded.

He gently stroked the contents of the box with his hand, and said with a smile: "The young master gave me this, and returned 3 doors at a time, as long as it is not a stone city wall, I am not afraid!" ”

After saying that, he asked the four of them to close the box and went to enjoy their breakfast with a smile.
