Chapter 1030: Hope Oilfield (4)

This wave of attacks launched by the natives did not bring substantial trouble to the Haihan army, but ended up in an instant. The Haihan camp seems to be exposed, but in fact it is a trap that is difficult for the opponent to detect, and Morgan and the others have long determined the attitude of dealing with the natives, and they do not intend to leave the other party any chance to struggle and resist.

After a short battle, the soldiers quickly cleaned up the area outside the camp, killing 17 people on the spot and capturing 38 alive. However, two-thirds of the captives captured alive were wounded, ranging from mild to severe, and it is unknown how much they would survive. Although Morgan is a licensed physician, he will not waste his precious time and energy treating the wounds of these prisoners of little use, and he must now hurry up to conduct a surprise interrogation of the prisoners to find out what the origin of this group of natives who have come to the camp in broad daylight is and whether there are any other follow-up plans.

Before determining the offensive strategy of the natives, Morgan did not dare to relax his vigilance for the time being, and still ordered his troops to continue to maintain combat readiness and take turns to be responsible for vigilance. In addition to Liu Shanxia continuing to direct the engineering team to build the camp, Bai Kesi and Tian Yeyou also participated in the interrogation of prisoners.

However, they soon found that this errand was far more troublesome than the construction of a camp under their command, and although they had Tainan natives who had taken refuge in Haihan as interpreters, it was still very difficult to communicate with these trembling and already frightened and delirious natives. It was not until dark that the three of them gathered together to summarize the situation, and finally used the fragmented information confessed by the captives to spell out the general situation of the matter.

These natives indeed belonged to the tribe that had been discovered by Morgan in the upper reaches of Houlong Creek, and its tribe was called Dajiashe. It is not clear how long this tribe has existed in the local area, and these natives who have not clearly dated it are not clear, but it is said that the birthplace of the old man who has been in the past three generations is the current location of the tribe. However, these natives of the Dajia Society are also as illiterate as the previously captured Maoli Society natives, and they do not have a clear unit of weights and measures, so they cannot make a specific and accurate description of the most critical information such as the population size of the tribe and the scope of daily activities.

Tian Yeyou is okay, he has been in the gold mines in Taipei for almost a year, and has fought with the local indigenous tribes for several rounds, so he knows more or less about the problems of the natives. But Bai Kesi rarely left Hainan Island, and this was the first time he came into contact with Taiwanese natives, and this birth defect made him cry and laugh. It seems that as Tian Yeyou once said, these captured natives are indeed of no other use except to be thrown into the mines as coolies.

However, the interrogation did clarify a question that had plagued Morgan for many days, that is, why there were no boats from the indigenous tribes on Houlong Creek - the canoes of the Dajia Society had not been launched recently due to the rainy season, because once the turbulent water of Houlong Creek went downstream, it was difficult to row the boat back to the upper reaches of the mountainous area by manpower. The reason for this is actually very simple, but Morgan didn't think of that layer for a while.

When Yu Yao led a team into the mountains last month, the people of the Dajia Society had already noticed these outsiders who had intruded into their own territory, but at that time, Yu Yao's team had only stayed on the bank of the river for two days before evacuating, so the natives did not have a direct conflict with them. A few days ago, Morgan led a team to investigate here again, and also destroyed a hunting trap in the mountains arranged by the hunters of the Dajia Society, which once again attracted the attention of the natives.

Since then, the Daikarsha has deployed people in the mountains to monitor the movement of this river valley. The reason why I didn't go to the lower reaches of Houlong Creek to track the origin of this group of uninvited guests is because the boundary between Dajia Society and Maoli Society is the location of the junction between the mountainous area and the valley plain outside the mountain.

Sure enough, within a few days, Haihan's army broke into the place again, and began to cut down the surrounding trees and build a camp, which seemed to be about to take root for a long time. Naturally, the Dajia Society would not turn a blind eye to the invaders, and this morning sent a team of people to the hillside near the Haihan camp to reconnoiter the enemy's movements, but they never thought that this opponent had also set up a guard post in the mountains, and one person was injured as soon as he moved, and the rest of the people panicked and fled all the way back to the tribe without daring to resist.

When the elders of the Dajia Society heard that they had already made a move, and that there were still people on their side who were in front of the battle, they naturally refused to stop there, and immediately organized some of the young men in the tribe, brought weapons and ran here again. However, these natives do not have a strong sense of planning, and they are bent on starting a war, but they do not have a detailed battle plan on how to defeat an opponent of unknown strength. That is, after arriving at the place, relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he forced himself to touch it closely. But Haihan had already set a trap and waited for the rabbits, and their primitive way of attacking finally did not even touch the gate of the camp, and they were beaten by a continuous volley of muskets.

Combat plan? No. Follow-up plans? If there is any plan prepared by the natives, it is to leave two and a half children in the forest, so that they can run back in time to report the news when there is any situation. However, the noise of the previous battle was so loud that the people who remained in the woods must have fled in fright. It's not a big deal for someone to flee back to report the news, but I don't know if this Dajia Society still has enough courage and manpower to organize the next round of offensive.

Although the Natives were able to thwart the attack with relative ease, Morgan was unable to confirm from the captives' confessions whether they would make a comeback. Theoretically speaking, this possibility is very high, after all, Haihan's move is a ruthless move, and the hatred between the two sides should be unlikely to have a chance to be resolved. If the Dajia Society does not intend to admit cowardice and move away from this place, it will definitely continue to look for opportunities to seek revenge against Haihan. And Morgan can't sit idly by and watch a time bomb that may explode at any time so close to the hope oil field, and sooner or later he will have to take the initiative to send troops to eliminate the hidden danger. However, at present, the garrison has only one company, and if you want to divide the troops, it will inevitably make the defense of your own camp weak.

"Lao Bai, what do you think? Do you do it as soon as possible, or wait until the camp is settled?" The action plan is related to the safety of the camp, and Morgan is not good at making decisions on his own, so he took the initiative to seek Bai Kesi's opinion.
