"Big Boss, what are you going to do?"

Li Hongji looked at Liu Yifeng and Ma Chen, who were dressed in black clothes and black pants, and even their heads were wrapped in black cloth, and they didn't understand what they were doing when they didn't go to sleep and got up in the middle of the night.

"I went next door and told them to get up and pee." After speaking, Li Hongji, who was left with a confused face, jumped off the camp wall along the rope.

Then there was Ma Chen, who smiled at Li Hongji straightly, and also went down, Li Hongji noticed that the military bow that ate dust in the warehouse was actually on his back.

Although the Ming Dynasty began to use firearms on a large scale from the Ming Dynasty, and in the Wanli Dynasty of this era, firearms directly caught up with the world's first-class level, and the popularity even exceeded that of the West, but the bow and arrow were still not eliminated.

The Ming border army likes to use the Kaiyuan bow, the Kaiyuan bow is made of bamboo tires and horns, mulberry elm wood is a little, and the horns and solid wood are used as bows, which belong to soft bows, and they can shoot arrows even on galloping war horses.

This belongs to the imprint left by the Mongols on the Han people in the Central Plains.

You must know that the bows of the Song Dynasty are generally hard bows, and the so-called hard bows and soft bows are the difference in bow strength.

After the Ming Dynasty regained the world, in fact, many things of the Yuan Dynasty were left, which belonged to the inevitable development of history, the Han people were not a pedantic nation, and it was the wisdom of the ancestors to take its essence and remove its dross.

The soft bow thus became the standard bow of the Ming border army.

However, the effective range of the soft bow is almost the same as that of the firearm, which led to the fact that after the reform of Zhang Juzheng in the Wanli Dynasty, firearms slowly replaced the bow and arrow, after all, the cost of cultivating a firearm is much lower than that of cultivating an archer.

But bows and arrows still have an advantage that firecrackers can't replace, and that is concealment.

"Buzz!"

"Ahh

"Enemy attack!"

"Again!?"

"Do you see where it came from?"

"Bastard, put out the fire!"

"Buzz!"

"Ahh

Two arrows, one dead and one wounded, Ma Chen and Liu Yifeng were crawling in the bushes, their black clothes were full of broken branches, and they might be able to see the abnormality at a glance during the day, but at night, if they didn't get close and shine with torches, they couldn't see that there were actually two people lying there.

After the camp finally quieted down, Liu Yifeng whispered to Ma Chen: "One more arrow, shoot the fifth tent counted from the left." ”

Liu Yifeng saw Xia Jie go in just now, and he hasn't come out yet.

Ma Chen nodded, carefully and slowly got up, took out his bow and arrows, and began to look for the target. They were about 70 steps away from the tent where Xia Jie was, which was basically the limit of Ma Chen's range, and it was difficult for him to guarantee a shot if he was farther away.

After confirming the target, Ma Chen fired his bow with an arrow, and another "buzz" pierced the night sky. The already somewhat nervous explorers were immediately awakened, waiting for a scream to make sure they had indeed heard the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air, and were not dreaming.

The screams didn't wait, what they waited for was Xia Jie's roar: "Go and catch him for me!" ”

According to the agreement, Ma Chen immediately ran in the direction of the camp after shooting the arrow, leaving Liu Yifeng to continue lying in place.

Many explorers who had been harassed to the point that their nerves were about to be burned by anger didn't even think that in this case, there was still a person lying on his stomach so close to the camp, chasing and killing Ma Chen with a bow on his back with all his might.

Ma Chen was born in Orion, and the people who dared to compete with the Siberian Tiger in Taihang Mountain may only be able to catch up with the people of the man surnamed Li who had experienced in the jungle of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, and those people were currently hiding in the shadows silently observing the battle between Xia Jie and Liu Yifeng, and the other explorers were quickly thrown away by Ma Chen.

While they were debating whether to disperse the search, there was a sound of guns firing in the direction of the camp.

Liu Yifeng straightened up, didn't look at whether he had hit or not, and ran towards the darkness outside Xia Jie's camp like crazy, and the people who chased and killed him were obviously much fewer than those who chased and killed Ma Chen. After all, it's almost impossible to shoot a bow and arrow while running, but it's entirely possible to shoot a bullet while running and then suddenly turn around and shoot.

If you are shot by a bow and arrow, you can still be saved as long as it is not critical, and if you are hit by a firecracker, even if it is not critical, there is a high chance of death.

Explorers who know this well don't look at the momentum of chasing Liu Yifeng enough, in fact, there are few who really make efforts to chase it.

The people from Dongshan Qianzhuang rushed into the tent where Xia Jie was, but they were quickly driven out, leaving only a few people in the leadership behind, because there were Fulong machine guns inside.

"How's it going, is there still salvation?"

"Shopkeeper Xia, he's dead."

"Bastard thing!"

Xia Jie was really mad, and Liu Yifeng shot one of his two Furlong machine gun craftsmen. But Liu Yifeng didn't intend to shoot the craftsman, he just shot three poles with dates and no dates, and shot at the tent. It was so coincidental that the craftsman was hit.

The commander of the firecracker team knew what Xia Jie was angry about, and even if they successfully won the gold mine, they would not be able to explain it to the young master, because these two craftsmen were strictly not from their Dongshan Qianzhuang system, and they were borrowed like the Fran machine gun. Now that a person is dead, how to make up excuses, as long as the other party is determined to investigate, what should I do if I find out some clues?

Liu Yifeng had his eyes on this tent yesterday, and when he and Ma Chen attacked yesterday, he found that Xia Jie would always take people to protect this tent as soon as possible, and he even saw Zhang Xianzhong among the people who protected him, so he made a plan to attack the tent today.

For this reason, he asked Ma Chen to sleep all day, just to have energy at night. In fact, he and Ma Chen didn't care about what the result of the attack was, anyway, this wave of sneak attacks was enough to make Xia Jie's camp full of soldiers.

It is not that those explorers who have been confused have not thought of returning an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but Li Hongji threw torches in front of the camp every two quarters of an hour on average, and this group of explorers was not a regular army, and they had a firm will to fight, and they obediently retreated as soon as they saw that they might be exposed.

Looking back now, Li Hongji's judgment at the beginning was really accurate, Xia Jie didn't look at the crowd, except for the fire guns, they were all rabble. The biggest characteristic of the rabble is that they can only fight with the wind, but when they encounter a storm, they are useless.

Liu Yifeng and Ma Chen met at the camp wall, both of them were excited on their faces, and the adrenaline was still working, but they were about to do another vote and were stopped by Li Hongji.

"Big Chief, you've been attacking them for two nights in a row, and it's impossible for them to be defenseless!"

Li Hongji stopped Liu Yifeng from attacking again, not because he was worried that Xia Jie and they were on guard, but because he felt that this kind of thing should not be done by you, Liu Yifeng. You, Liu Yifeng, are equivalent to the commander of an army, and you can't do everything yourself. Besides, if you get caught or killed, what do we do?

Liu Yifeng listened to his persuasion and took Ma Chen back. But half an hour later, Song Xiance, who hadn't slept yet, came up again.

"What is this?" Li Hongji looked at the food he had never seen before skewered on two strings of wooden thorns, and at first glance he thought it was a bug, because it was too Q-bomb.

"Baked gluten."

Gluten has long been in the Chinese diet. The earliest can be traced back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but because there is no written record, many people only admit that the earliest written record of gluten in Chinese history was in the Song Dynasty.

However, gluten in the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties was not a popular way to eat it throughout the country, because the amount of flour consumed in the production of gluten was not small, and only the rich could afford to eat it. In addition, at that time, gluten was mostly made into gluten sheets or gluten balls, and he was the only one like Liu Yifeng who used to cut it into strips and string it into a spiral shape with two wooden skewers.

These glutens are a by-product of the morning spicy soup, and the batter water that comes out is the water in which the soup is boiled. The gluten was put away by Liu Yifeng, cut into strips and skewered on the pot, steamed and dried, and now it is taken out and baked.

As far as his taste is concerned, this baked gluten is extremely unpalatable, but Li Hongji and Song Xiance eat it very deliciously. The taste is very average, but the unique texture of gluten is something they haven't tasted.

"Anyway, count the days, it's almost time for Lao Zheng to arrive at the Fleet Chamber of Commerce."

Liu Yifeng nodded and said, "If the people from Dongshan Qianzhuang didn't set up a card on the road to intercept it." ”

Referring to the initiator of this crisis, Song Xiance, who didn't know anything about Dongshan Qianzhuang, couldn't help asking: "Big boss, do you know who is behind Dongshan Qianzhuang, and he can actually take out so many firearms at one time." ”

Liu Yifeng shook his head: "No matter who is behind Dongshan Qianzhuang, when they covet our gold, we will fight with them endlessly." The Maritime Safety Bureau did not find gold in the East, so how can we change the method of gold panning for the Maritime Safety Bureau to help us solve the background of Dongshan Qianzhuang, at least to ensure that we do not die. ”

"What if the Maritime Administration doesn't protect it? Or does the Maritime Safety Bureau not want to offend the backstage of Dongshan Qianzhuang? ”

"Probably not."

Liu Yifeng thought of Song Yingxing, and he recalled the conversation with Song Yingxing when he was in the city of Fushan on the Nanyang level. Song Yingxing must be harder than the backstage behind Dongshan Qianzhuang, after all, Emperor Wanli himself said that he was looking forward to his "Heavenly Creation".

In terms of backstage, unless the backstage of Dongshan Qianzhuang is a cabinet-level person, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and the ordinary officials of the imperial court will definitely not be able to manage Song Yingxing, the manager of the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau, who is in dire need of gold.

It is not a big problem for yourself and others to save their lives, as long as you can withstand this crisis.
