Some of them got up from the ground with a dirty face, half of Esquart's thighs and the sides of his upper body were bruised, although the flesh was not injured, but the skin was bloody, and it was obviously extremely painful, but Esquart did not look at it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Instead, he took three steps and two steps, and picked up Cousie, who was still lying on the ground.

"How's it going, Coussy, are you seriously injured?"

Cousie stood up with the help of Esquart, looked at the bullet scratch, shook his head and said, "It's okay, go back and let your father wipe it with herbs, it should be fine, the bullet didn't go in, fortunately." ”

The other Apache young Keener was unharmed, and was lucky, and the two tough guys, Esquart and Cousy, checked on the other two partners, both of whom had been shot during the jump and had not made much evasive action when they landed.

Cousy hurriedly snatched it up, reached for the snort of a fellow who was already motionless, and then turned back to Esquart and shook his head silently. This guy was undoubtedly the most unlucky, he was directly hit by several bullets, and the most fatal one pierced the major artery in his neck, and he died as soon as he landed.

Esquart didn't say much, and walked over to another companion who was still alive, but this one was not in a good condition, although he had only been shot in the thigh, but he was also bleeding. If Esquart and Coussi were Indians from the Tang Dynasty, they might know how to do first aid, but they were just uncivilized Apache who watched their other companion bleed to death. No matter how much the two prayed to their god of fire and water and moon (the two main gods of the Apaches), they failed to save him.

Eight people attacked together, and in the end, only the three of them were left, and they were embarrassed. Esquart's face was gloomy, and there was a cold light in his eyes. This is the biggest loss he has ever suffered since he engaged in this operation.

Coussi carried the corpse of his companion. Ignoring the fact that the corpses of his companions were still bleeding and occupying his whole body, Cousy said indignantly: "Damn Tang people, our brothers were slaughtered by them like this!" This revenge must not go unavenged! ”

Keena also chimed in: "Yes, from a year ago to now, we have many people killed by the Tang people. The Tang people rely on their weapons, they don't have the spirit of warriors at all, they don't dare to confront us face to face, they are all a bunch of cowards! What do you say, Esquart? ”

Esquart was not so angry at this time, but rather humiliated, this was his most unsuccessful vote, not only did he bring no food or clothing, but he lost five of his companions. In fact, there has always been an older faction in the clan that opposes him blatantly looting the Tang people's trains, and this time he has lost more than half of his people, which will inevitably cause dissent in the tribe. At the same time, Esquart had coveted the chief of the White Mountain tribe for a long time, and with his merits to the tribe, he was likely to get the support of the majority of the people, depose the chief's son, and become the next chief. But with this incident, his position is likely to be impacted.

Now his mind is constantly deducing what he might encounter. and how you should respond. It didn't take long for Esquart to say to the two surviving people around him: "This is a great shame for the White Mountain Tribe, our warriors of the White Mountain Apache have never suffered such a defeat in front of the enemy, the Tang people have humiliated us, we must get it back." Walk. Let's go back to the tribe, with our brother's corpse, with that pitiful booty, which is not only a shame for the three of us, but also a shame for the Baishan tribe. We've got to give the Tang people a little bit of color! ”

Two Apache youths who have no IQ at all agreed loudly, although their understanding of the Tang people is intuitive, but it is not comprehensive enough, they have lived in the Colorado Plateau since childhood, and they have only seen the Tang people from the West Coast in recent years, these Tang people have all kinds of magical things, but there seem to be not many people. Esquart, however, had heard that the Tang people were a relatively large tribe, and that the Spaniards were more afraid of them. But over the years, the Spaniards have not coveted the land here, but there is still nothing they can do about the Apache people in this land, so Esquart firmly believes that the Tang people are the same. They did not have the ability to cross the mountains and come to this land to fight against the Apaches.

Even, Esquart still feels that the Tang people are actually very timid, they dare not leave the railway line, as long as they lose the railway line, the two-legged Tang people are nothing, even if they have continuous muskets, but their Baishan tribe is also useful for a lot of muskets, and they also have extraordinary courage, the number of Tang people is small, and the Baishan tribe has a great chance of winning.

In addition, Esquat knew that the Tang people had caused the discontent of all the Apache people in the entire region, not only the White Mountain tribe, but other tribes had also had some conflicts with the Tang people, and if he could work properly, he would be able to form a loose alliance among the seven Apache tribes. The Apache are the most powerful ethnic group in the land, with a population of tens of thousands or even more than 100,000, and Esquat believes that if they can organize a coalition army, they will be able to destroy any enemy on their home turf.

A few of their horses were scattered, and two were killed, and the meat of the horses could not be wasted, and was broken down by Coussi and the others. Carrying the paint and steel of the harvest, the corpses of their companions and the meat of the horses, they dragged their tired bodies towards the tribe. On the way back to the tribe, Esquart didn't stop thinking for a second. Although Asquart feels that this kind of survival mode of using the train of the Tang people as a mode of survival is very rewarding, he also understands the risks and instability. Each time he got an uncertain amount of money, some of which he could eat, some of which he could exchange, but some of the Spanish merchants who did not want it, and it became very troublesome.

Esquart is a man of ambition and planning, he doesn't like this model, he wants to change to a new way. This land is the land of the Apaches, the Tang people passed here without the consent of the Apaches, and earlier when the construction team of the Tang people passed by, there were also conflicts with the Apaches, and the Tang engineering team had a large number of workers, as well as the army, and the Apaches could not deal with it. Now that the railroad has been built, the Tang people have the handle, and Esquart thinks that the Apache have already taken some initiative.

According to Esquat, the ideal model would be for the Tang people to pass by train on the territory of the Apache people, pay tolls to the Apachis, and pay all kinds of food, clothing, weapons and other supplies, and the Apache people will not touch the goods of the Tang people. Of course, the Tang people will not be easy to comply, so Esquart is ready to let the Tang people know that in this land, the Apache people must be listened to. (To be continued.) )
