Text Chapter 211 Preparing for War

Three weeks, in three weeks, teach the townspeople how to fight. At first, it was more difficult to teach, after all, they were all peasants who were used to holding hoes, and they never knew how to fight the enemy in this way.

The task fell to Robiso and Billy. Every time He Shan passed by, he didn't see that they were not angry, and scolded their mothers at a group of recruits.

He Shan felt that it was not difficult to practice marksmanship, it was just a matter of time and mentality, his previous marksmanship was not accurate, and he did not rely on bullets in the back, but also practiced with non-stop shooting training, and horseback riding.

Rose Creek is located on a plain, with a forest in front and a gold mine in the back. If you don't do a little more defense, it will be difficult to avoid Barcelolio. Berg's first round of offense.

Barcelolio. I don't think I need to tell you more about what kind of person Berg is. Say it's three weeks later, but sooner or later the news here will reach Sacramento. He will definitely bring no less than 200 people, so we must prepare as soon as possible.

Here, here, and here! It is the only way to enter the village, and from now on, the whole town will move, training in the morning will remain the same, and in the afternoon it will be changed to digging trenches and traps. The more you dig, the better, and as many enemies as you can stop and kill! ”

Sam made a simple map and laid out the work.

Although the workload was heavy, the residents left in the town did not complain at all, at most they scolded a few words secretly, then patted their thighs, picked up their hoes and continued to work.

"I still have three boxes of powder kegs there, and I will use all the explosives for mining, and I will start using mines. tube for the manufacture of detonating devices. He Shan also found a job for himself, there is no way, whoever lets the children left in the town work harder than him.

As long as the explosives are placed in the traps on the periphery of the houses and the plains, this is a delicate work, and there is no hurry.

"Why do you want to put nails in gunpowder, you are about to pull out all the nails in the houses in town?" Emma took the ordinary children to bring a basket of detachable nails to Ho Shan in the house where she was.

"To increase lethality." He Shan glanced at a few active children behind her, "Leave things and take them all away." ”

Emma also knew how dangerous the gunpowder was, so she chased the child away, and then stayed behind to help.

The house was quiet, and Ho Shan taught Emma that the proportion of gunpowder nails was no longer spoken.

"You joked about it again last time, didn't you?" Emma finally couldn't help but ask. Because He Shan has never spoken to himself since he finished talking about the "reward" after talking to him, and he has not taken the initiative to approach him.

Coupled with Ho Shan's cart of loot, she thought it was just an overkill at the time, just molesting women like some stinky men in town.

"Nope." After He Shan finished speaking, he stopped and asked, "Do you regret it, or do you can't wait?" ”

The conversation couldn't go on, and Emma sighed softly.

He Shan consciously didn't do much entanglement, and buried himself in making bombs.

For a week, the town was in full swing to fight the fortifications, the trenches had been dug, the traps had taken shape, the talent of the peasants was being completely unleashed, and the next step was further refinement and enhancement.

There is no bamboo in North America, and bamboo is an all-purpose manufacturing tool, which can be sharpened and can be directly pierced into a trap, tearing the horse's belly directly when it passes by.

Since there is no bamboo, I have to change to ordinary wood instead, and although the workload has become larger, I still have to do it.

The trees in the forest can't move, and if they do, they are reminding the enemy that there is deception ahead.

"Do you think we can win?" Sam looked at the women on the plain who were cutting wood in earnest.

"Definitely winning, I don't want to lose again." He Shan replied seriously.

"But ......" Sam was still worried. Enemy Barcelolio. Berg has money, he can spend a lot of money to hire cowboys to serve for a long time, and the number of people in the town who can go into battle is only 50 people, and the next enemy may be 4 times or more, which is already a war.

He Shan sharpened the wood with a knife, "It's nothing, I'll get rid of Barcelolio. Berg's, cut off his head with his own hands. ”

……

Maybe it's been a few days, and the confidence that Sam and the others prepared before the war has brought to the townspeople, and anyway, even the most cowardly men in the town have begun to practice guns without missing the target.

The children have no idea what the danger they will face next, and they happily give the adults a hand every day and take the initiative to do the work.

There is a church in the town, but it is occupied by Barcelo Rio. Berg burned and killed, this guy not only killed the men who resisted in the town, but also wanted to destroy the last faith of the townspeople.

The priest of the church did not leave, he found Sam and asked Sam to rebuild the church.

He Shan didn't say much about this, he didn't have faith in the first place, but the church is a tall building in the town, especially the bell tower is an excellent tactical location, so he let Sam do it.

Thinking of this, He Shan suddenly felt a little like laughing, even incredible. Blacks, whites, yellows, and Indians came together in the West during the Gold Rush era, and it was still for justice?

Of course, He Shan is not for justice, he clearly knows that even if he dies, the word justice will never be brought into the coffin by him. For women? This may be a good excuse. It still sounds dashing, albeit lewd.

……

"Huh~!" In the evening, hearing the call of the bald eagle, Sam and the others raised their heads in all corners of the town, and then ran to the location where the bald eagle landed.

Not long after, the "younger brother" also galloped back to the town from the forest on horseback.

Barcelolio. Berg came with about 200 people, and this is the news that the "younger brother" told everyone after coming back and forth.

"It was earlier than scheduled, a week earlier. I saw that it was a leaked message. Tomorrow, at the latest tomorrow at noon, Barcelolio. Berg would come to Rose Creek. Sam watched in the church and told everyone the news.

"I'm ready, sir. I'll fight at the last minute! ”

"That's right, we're going to get rid of the bastards who want to take over our homes!"

The few young people in the town did not feel anxious or depressed, but rather a little excited.

The older ones are fine, but not so scared when they hear the news.

"Get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow, use our tactics to destroy them according to the foretold tactics." Sam laughed, and although he didn't have enough confidence, he still didn't want to break the confidence that the residents had just built.

Only Eight Dragons and Emma are left outside the church, and they need to carefully discuss countermeasures and manpower allocation.

"Don't count me in." He Shan rode his black horse, "I'll go and touch the enemy's bottom." ”

Faraday laughed, "I'll invite you to drink when you come back!" ”

The old man Jack said cautiously: "Be careful, pay attention to safety." ”

No one, including Sam, thought that Ho Shan would be a deserter, maybe Robiso, but they all knew it.

Birds generally do not have night vision, with the exception of falcons.

Relying on the feedback from the bald eagle, He Shan, who ran wildly for 6 hours, found the enemy in the canyon near Rose Creek and set up camp here.

"If you sneak attack, it's easy to startle the snake, and there will be a chain reaction. It's not okay to go in and assassinate while it's dark, Barcelolio. Outside Berg's tent, there were many soldiers who were hired to keep vigil, and his cowboys were sleeping together, which was easy to spot. Nor did they all gather together, patrolling in batches at a time, and they didn't even let go of the canyon. On the canyon, He Shan's face was a little ugly.

Originally, he wanted to directly capture the thief and capture the king first, and kill Barcelolio. Berg's. But the specific situation was too difficult than he imagined.

So we had to wait, waiting for the enemy to show their flaws.

But the enemy seemed to know He Shan's purpose, and after a whole night, except for the time that was short enough to kill most of the enemies, he didn't leave the slightest chance at all.

After waiting all night, He Shan was not completely without gains, that is, except for Barcelolio. Berg's guards were more heavily guarded, and a carriage with two cowboys standing guard in turn, wrapped in black cloth, caught his eye.

"Is it a secret weapon? In addition to explosives, the only thing that can produce mass destruction is artillery, but if it is a cannon, it cannot be pulled by a single horse. Explosives are impossible, if explosives can be used to put the carriage in Ribaceloglio. Berg so close? The richer you are, the more afraid you are of death, and you will definitely not throw this thing far away. ”

Due to the line of sight, He Shan had been thinking about the things in the black cloth for a long time and had no clue.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he wanted the bald eagle to lift the black cloth from the carriage.
