In the command room, in addition to Chen Jianqiu, who was still looking at the map, there were also two "old enemies" who had been merged together.

Xu Ajiu and Li Sifu.

The two of them basically bumped into each other, and they just raised the bar endlessly.

"I think it's still the old way, seduce them out, and then set up an ambush."

Li Sifu held a pen in his hand and said as he turned around.

"The Spanish commander on the opposite side has already suffered a loss once, and he will not be fooled again."

Xu Ajiu was holding a brown iron tea jar in his hand.

He blew down the tea leaves floating on the tea jar, then took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly.

"Then we can use a short assault, or infiltrate, and use our strong individual ability and well-equipped advantages to eat the living forces on the opposite side!"

Li Sifu looked at Xu Ajiu's virtue and was a little angry, so he threw away the pen and stared at the colleague opposite.

"Then you will be like the Marines, rushing headlong into the forest to disrupt the war, looking down on life and death, and doing it if you don't accept it."

Facing the aggressive Li Sifu, Xu Ajiu was not in a hurry at all, took another sip of tea, and spit out a sip of tea leaves.

"You have to get along with me, do you? This doesn't work, that doesn't work, you have an idea! ”

Li Sifu glared angrily at Xu Ajiu.

"I haven't thought of a better way for the time being, if I did, I would have told the boss a long time ago." Xu Ajiu leaned on the back of the chair with a helpless look.

"Tell me"

Li Sifu was just about to have a seizure, but saw Xu Ajiu making a silent gesture at him.

The latter pointed to Chen Jianqiu, who was standing in front of the map.

Their boss was tapping his finger on the map.

"Boss, you've been looking at this map for almost an afternoon." Li Sifu muttered in a low voice.

I don't know if Chen Jianqiu heard it or not.

Anyway, he didn't answer Li Sifu's words, but gave an order:

"Go and call me the guy who drew this map."

Li Sifu took the order and left.

After a while, a black man was brought into the command room.

Chen Jianqiu turned around and was almost startled suddenly.

He looked at the black man with doubt, and Xu Ajiu next to him also had the same expression.

Blacks were looked at with some trepidation.

He touched his face, thinking that something had grown on his face, or that he had done something wrong, and was a little uneasy.

Li Sifu on the side also looked uncertain.

He quietly leaned into Xu Ajiu's ear and asked in a low voice:

"Why do you and the boss have such expressions?"

Xu Ajiu was still staring at the black man, but his hand wrapped his arm around Li Sifu's shoulder, and whispered in his ear:

"Don't you think he's like someone?"

Li Sifu tilted his head and looked at the black man, then shook his head:

"Don't all of them look like this?"

However, at this time, Chen Jianqiu suddenly spoke:

"Have you ever been to the United States? My friend? ”

Li Sifu patted his head.

He seems to have forgotten to call the translator in.

If he remembered correctly, the black man was a local employee of the Border Detective Agency.

The boss is also confused, how can he speak English with black people in Cuba.

The black man nodded:

"Yes, my sir, I did, but I didn't stay long before I returned."

"Do you know a black man named Sean?" Chen Jianqiu continued to ask.

The black man thought for a moment, then shook his head blankly:

"I'm sorry, sir, it's a name I'm unfamiliar with."

Seeing this, Chen Jianqiu didn't continue to ask this question.

"Let's get down to business, my friend."

He pointed to the map hanging on the wall behind him and asked:

"Did you draw this map?"

"That's right, I made changes on a map of the Spaniards." The black man stood in front of them and said respectfully.

Although the map is not drawn in such a delicate way, the terrain in many places is very clear and detailed.

"Can you make sure that the information on this map is accurate?" Chen Jianqiu asked again.

The black man thought for a moment, and then replied in the affirmative:

"No big problem, sir, I'm too familiar with this place to miss any information."

Chen Jianqiu drew a range on the map with his hand.

The area encompasses the area between the Mt. McKala and the city of Kemanella, and includes jungle and a small grassland.

"This is where Rodriguez and his 2,000 people are currently active." Chen Jianqiu said.

Then he tapped the map with his fingers:

"But there's not even a river in this area! Are there other small water systems that are not marked? ”

The black man shook his head:

"It's really arid, and there's not a particularly big water system."

"If you want to say that these people can barely scrape together enough food for a period of time with their previous stocks and scraping the ground, I believe it, but how did they ensure drinking water for 2,000 people without a large water system?" Chen Jianqiu looked at the black man and asked.

Even if 2,000 people were scattered in these places, there would be no way to solve this problem.

"It's a well, my sir." The black man replied, "Just like the wells you see in the city of Kemanera, many of the local people living in the southern part of the country will dig wells to get groundwater to solve the problem of water. ”

"You mean, these Spanish soldiers are going to raid those villages, to loot some supplies, to get some water along the way, right?" Chen Jianqiu somewhat understood.

Who knew the sadness on the black man's face:

"There are no more villages, my sir, the Spaniards have burned down all the villages in the south, and everyone has been driven out, either by starvation, or by Santiago, and then by starvation."

"I don't know who my father was, my brother disappeared when I was very young, my mother died, and my sister and brothers starved to death."

The black man's eyes became a little hollow, and his lips opened and opened, slowly telling him about his misery.

"That's why I wanted to join the Border Detective Agency in the first place, I really want to be able to live with dignity and not like a dog."

Chen Jianqiu listened quietly to the black man's speech.

He stepped forward and took the black man's hand:

"Rest assured, everything you do now is for the sake of achieving this goal."

"By the way, what's your name?" Chen Jianqiu asked suddenly.

Negroes have recovered from their grief.

He regained that respectful look again.

"Mendez, sir, Arnardo Mendes." The black man replied.

"You can follow me in the future." Chen Jianqiu said.

Now that he has found the crux of the problem, Chen Jianqiu is no longer polite.

"I have a plan." He called Li Sifu and Xu Ajiu to his side.

In this place, it is not easy to find the more than 2,000 people for a decisive battle, but with the help of the "living map" Mendes, it is still easy to find the wells of those abandoned villages.

Because the well will not move.

Chen Jianqiu and his troops began to make a fuss around these wells.

They first lay in ambush around the wells and began to crouch for the presence of the Spaniards.

It's a bit of a wait-and-see.

However, if the tree has to be hit and the rabbit is not alert, it seems like a good idea to wait for the rabbit.

At least Chen Jianqiu and his troops succeeded.

The Spanish soldiers who slipped out to look for water were swept away before the buckets were thrown into the well, and they were all taken from the buckets.

After several teams that had gone to fetch water never returned, Rodriguez, who had camped near the jungle, seemed to sense something.

Like a frightened bird, he once again led his troops into the jungle.

He also dispersed his troops again, hoping not to be constrained.

But Chen Jianqiu didn't plan to let him get better.

He ordered the troops to fill all the wells.

If it was a little more vicious, Chen Jianqiu could put a little poison or other irritating things in these wells.

However, after the end of the subsequent war, there will definitely be villagers who will come back to live.

The well has been filled, and it can be continued to be dug, but if it is poisoned, it is not certain what the consequences will be.

Chen Jianqiu is not a virgin, but he doesn't really want to do such an irresponsible thing.

So, the wells were filled one by one.

He wanted to see if Rodriguez and his soldiers could really drink a sip of water.
