Chapter 291: The Big Pit!

"Let's go!"

"You bastard! Don't stop! ”

"Hurry up and get us out of this damn place!"

The vast and empty Copper Valley of Mexico welcomed a group of uninvited guests, these individuals were wearing blue military uniforms and gray pants, hats seemed to have been stepped on, and the back of the gun was also crooked, obviously these guys were Sherman's men, American GIs, but there was only a shirtless, bronzed Indian youth in front of them.

"Grada ...... Bald Ming off ......"

The young Indian had already received several butts of his rifle, but he still spoke in his half-baked Spanish, gesticulating, as if there was something wrong with the place.

"Fack! What is this idiot talking about? One of the American GIs cursed, judging by the guy's epaulettes, it seemed like he was the biggest in it.

"Hey! Sergeant Jack, he seemed to be saying that this place has been cursed by something, and we can't go from here. Another American GI replied that he was apparently a little Spanish, and spoke a few more words to the young Indian.

"Cursed?" Sergeant Jack looked incredulous, "Sue him!" If he doesn't go, then we'll bury him here, alive! ”

“OK。” The man who spoke Spanish spoke again with the young Indian, but the attitude and tone were clearly threatening.

After a while, and the guy gave the Indian a few punches, and it was done.

"Sergeant Jack! Haha, let's go! ”

"Okay! Sue sù the guy behind you, keep up. We're running out of time! Sergeant Najake waved his hand. Apparently there are still large forces behind.

By this time it was getting late. It seems that today is not too far, but fortunately, the cursed land that the Indian youth said is actually a large open field, and there is a small river on the side, which is simply a great place to camp, but there are high mountains on both sides.

Copper Valley, that's it, naturally. Most of the mountains on both sides are high, and although it is the end of January in 1868, it is still lush and green, and the climate here is really good.

"General Sherman! Our troops found a suitable garrison at the front. ”

"Very good, it's time for everyone, let's set up the tent."

Sherman, who was riding a tall horse, was in high spirits, and his heart was very high now, because he had come all the way, and it was really certain that the opponent was indeed as Washington said. Running back, Sherman's army met no resistance. And he was very serious about sending people around to investigate.

The whole army is about 45,000 people, although the march is in four rows, but also have to pull a long line, this is normal, there are too many people, there are pack horses behind, that are artillery and artillery and other heavy weapons.

Glancing at the terrain through his binoculars, Sherman said to his men.

"Take someone up there and clean up the mountain."

Obviously, Sherman was talking about reconnaissance, but his men were a little unimpressed.

Because if you can be in this copper valley, you will know that although the two sides are indeed mountains, it seems that the middle is indeed an unfavorable terrain, but the mountains on both sides are very large, very high!

It's too tall, which also brings a problem, that is, according to the range, I'm afraid it will be difficult for people on the mountain to shoot down the mountain, besides, such a big mountain, such a vast place, it is difficult to detect and search.

“YES-SIR!”

But though, you can't say you won't do it when the general's order comes down, but everyone knows it in their hearts, and you just have to deal with it.

It's really not to blame Sherman's men for their lack of discipline, as long as they are in this Copper Valley, let's put it this way, an area as vast as the Grand Canyon, I'm afraid whoever comes can only deal with it.

So, Sherman's army was the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance, and the white tents appeared in the canyon one after another, and soon the smoke of the cooking rose from the shelf.

The army was gathering more and more, and Sherman was relieved to see that although his men were encamped, they had also built a good defensive position.

Not long after, the reconnaissance troops returned, and told their superiors that they had not found anything, that they were normal, and that on their way back to the tent, they could still see interesting things.

"Hey, hey! Call twice, call twice! Hahaha......"

"I'll give you something to eat after two screams! There's something to eat, hahaha......"

I saw that the young Indian who had led the way was chained to an iron chain, and then Sergeant Jack and his men were playing with a piece of black bread.

"Hey! Are you playing too far? ”

Some soldiers can't stand it, you must know that the soldiers of this era still have some beliefs, in the face of this kind of behavior, they know that this is wrong, of course, they also know that it is not right to burn and loot, but for the sake of victory......

"Shut up! What's going on with you here? Sergeant Jack had a look of evil on his face.

"Fack!" The sergeant who spoke before also left.

"Hahaha...... Let's move on! ”

"Scream! Scream! ”

This kind of thing of forcing people to learn to bark is probably a rare pleasure in the military, so will this Indian YMCA do what Jack wants?

"Huh...... Hehe...... Hehehe......"

The young Indian seemed to be crazy, and he just let out such a smirk.

“SHIT!”

"It's boring!"

Jack: They don't play anymore......

At night, when it was time to eat, Sherman's army of 45,000 was basically all there, and they formed a big regiment in this Grand Canyon, with white tents dotted on the green grass, with bonfire smoke, you really don't say, it's very beautiful.

However, after all, Sherman is also a famous general, and he will not forget what he should do, and many soldiers have been sent out to patrol, and among them is Jack and their team.

"Sergeant, come and have a look!"

"What are you looking at?"

Jack didn't know why, but he saw his subordinates holding a handful of grass.

"Sergeant! These grasses are weird. You see, it looks like they were all planted later. And because I'm in too much of a hurry. So it doesn't bear fruit at all! ”

Jack saw that there was a lot of grass in that place, as if the ears of wheat were ripe and fell to the ground, and as long as he pulled it lightly, then it would be uprooted.

"What is this?"

It's weird!

Jack didn't understand it at all, but it wasn't ......

"Sergeant! It's also available here! ”

Not far away, another subordinate shouted there, and it seemed that he had noticed the same strange thing. So......

"Sergeant! Look! It's like a circle, oh no! It's a pit! ”

"Pit?!"

Soon, there was also a shout from there, proving that there was also a pit not far away!

So what kind of pit is this?

Sherman was reading the official documents in his big tent at this time, and he was also going to write a telegram, which was to scold Dias for his stupid people, who were too slow to keep up with the provisions, and many times needed Sherman's own baggage troops to carry and carry them.

Apparently. The Dias bastards are scared!

"Coward!" Sherman wrote and cursed. But at this time.

"General! Checkmate! The herald's voice came from outside the tent, and there was a palpable panic in it.

"What's wrong?!" Sherman, who is usually not angry and self-assured, how can he allow this now? "What's the alarm??"

"General! We found a lot of craters! "The herald is already in a state of ignorance, panting, he should have run all the way.

"Crater?!"

This thing was found, and that means......

At that moment, Sherman suddenly heard some shrill howls!

Yo! Yo!

Followed by!

Bang!

Not far from Sherman, a large cloud of sparks suddenly erupted, the explosion of Willy was too amazing, there was a sea of fire around him for a moment, and the nearby things were swept around by the explosion of air, even ......

"Oops!" Sherman was blown to the ground by the air waves!

What the hell is this thing?

Sherman shouted in his heart, but it was clear that he could not know the answer, and the person who knew the answer was actually on the anticline of the mountain in the canyon right now!

"The first hit!" Someone was shouting at the top of the mountain.

"Good!"

After Jiang Yun, who was holding a small red flag in his hand, got this information, he immediately turned around and shouted, "Comrades! According to the previously set Yuan! Empty all the shells! ”

"Oooo

“YES-SIR!”

“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”

The cheers were boiling, and I saw that on this hillside, the soldiers of the empire were wearing their green military uniforms and green steel helmets, and then there they were scattering cannonballs, pushing cannonballs, loading, and pulling strings!

Yes, now the artillery of the Reich is different!

At present, most of the artillery in the world is still front-loaded, and the artillery on the Empire's side is now rear-loaded!

Actually, it is not without rear-loading artillery, but compared to front-loading artillery, the technology of this thing is not mature, but in the Empire, it is different. Don't forget jì.,The empire now has rear-loading bolt-action rifles.,Everyone's principle is similar.,And there's a technical guide.,It's Erickson!

That guy killed seven high-ranking officials of the United States of America with one shot...... Well, such a glorious history is still not much to talk about, but he has such an 'experience', so naturally there is a great deal of research on the walls of the artillery, as well as the charge.

Moreover, the empire has electricity, and it is still high-voltage, and after this thing is used in steelmaking, everyone finds that the quality of this steel has been greatly improved...... Li Mengyang didn't know what was going on, but it would be of great help to the barrel anyway.

You see, bolt-action rifles and large bullets, coupled with the related technology of the artillery barrel wall, then the artillery, which is very close to the future artillery that Li Mengyang is familiar with, will naturally be born!

In addition, don't forget that there were mortars before, and there were mortars captured during the fight against the French in Mexico, and these things were messed together, which made a relatively primitive ......

Howitzer!

"Ready! …… Put! ”

Jiang Yun's little red flag waved like a shadow, and dozens of new artillery pieces of the empire spewed flames!

Boom! Boom! (To be continued......)
