Chapter 43: The Enemy Has Ascended the Heights
I rub!
"Where the hell did you go, you unlucky boy?"
The turtledove bounced off the bench at once, rushed over and grabbed Fifteen Dollars by the ear, and carried him over.
He snatched the broom from the fifteen-dollar hand and crackled at his ass.
Then he threw the broom to the ground in a huff.
"Say, where did you go?"
Fifteen showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled.
"Ichidove, I've interrogated them all!"
"What interrogation came out?" Turtledove asked, "What about the five people who gave it to you?" Where have they gone? Why didn't you say a word to me and ran away? ”
"Turtledove, Captain Big Tree will be here tomorrow!" Fifteen dollars said.
"What did you say?"
"Well, tomorrow a trade party will come over, and Captain Big Tree will be in it. He suffered a great defeat at the foot of the mountain, so he wants to take down our tribe, and some people in the tribe will take him when the time comes! "Fifteen dollars said.
The turtledove's face changed suddenly. "How do you know?"
Fifteen dollars then gave an account of his actions yesterday.
……
The turtledove understood, but not quite understood.
"So, you knew the lark was a mole early on?" Turtledove asked.
"Yes."
"How did you find out?"
"Obviously, he is! I can see it! Fifteen replied.
"Then how do you know that someone else will take you to the waterfall?"
"Obviously, they're going to take me there. After all, if you want to interrogate me, the sound of the waterfall is so loud that you can't get the sound of talking! Fifteen replied.
"So you let those five people ambush there in advance?"
"Yes."
"Oh my God! You're too risky! If those five guys don't get you out, aren't you dead? ”
"Obviously, they won't." Fifteen dollars replied.
"Are you sure those two captives didn't lie to you?"
"Obviously, they don't." Fifteen dollars replied. "Near the waterfall, when they interrogated me, I had already asked them."
No matter how complicated the truth is, in the mouth of fifteen dollars, it is reduced to 'obvious'.
Obviously, the turtledove did not understand this kind of guesswork.
So he beat up another fifteen dollars.
Then tell him to copy that copy of "Spark" fifty times!
Then I dropped my fifteen dollars and went out.
***
The next day, the caravan came.
Turtledove sat at the window and saw in the clearing, where Anderson was training soldiers.
In the entire tribe, at least half of the people are there.
Under Anderson's command, the team practiced various tactical maneuvers such as forwarding, turning, standing upright, and lying down.
For soldier training, turtledoves don't know much either.
But it can be seen that after Anderson's persistent efforts, the current turtledove tribe has initially taken on the appearance of line infantry.
If they had not a twig but a real rifle, they would have been a good line infantryman.
Only now, due to the scarcity of guns, only a dozen of them can hold real guns, and there are only three rounds of ammunition per person at most.
As the caravan arrived, Anderson stopped training and headed for the caravan.
Turtledove sat at his desk by the window, pen in hand, pondering how to write this letter to Fury.
Peso and Giant stood behind him, several loaded rifles at their feet.
Halfway through the letter, he grabbed it and crumpled it into a paper ball and threw it on the ground.
It's too noisy outside the window.
He had no choice but to stop.
"Peso, do you see that this team, under Anderson's training, looks a little good?" Turtledove asked.
"Whew!" Peso said: "What's the use of such training? Give me a saber and you can cut three with one sword! ”
"Times are different, pesos. The era of the saber has long passed! The turtledove said, "In front of the line infantry, a thousand pesos will not rush in front of them." You don't have a chance to wield your saber at all! ”
"This Anderson, eating inside and out, should have killed him a long time ago!" Giant hard said.
"Reluctantly!" Turtledove said. "I can't even kill that Mike, how can I be willing to kill such a talent?"
"What kind of talent is he?" Giant hard said hatefully.
"He reads, he knows how to train soldiers." Turtledove said. "The rest of the tribe is like a moldy potato compared to him!"
……
Just when the three turtledoves by the window were pointing at the clearing.
Anderson in the clearing had already seen the caravan coming.
"All - stand upright!"
With Anderson's order, the soldiers suddenly stood upright one by one.
"Salute!"
Swish!
There was a sound of neat sleeves rubbing, and the soldiers raised their right hands high. In his left hand, he held a wooden spear made of tree branches, clinging to his pants, and the wooden spear stood upright on the ground.
There are also eight flags fluttering on both sides of the line, with a white flag at the front.
The whole team, that's probably the only thing that displeased Anderson.
"Captain Big Tree! The Anderson militia has completed training, please review! Anderson shouted.
A tall figure, accompanied by two guards, stepped out of the trade group and came to the front of the procession.
The dragon walks and walks the tiger, and the posture is heroic.
At the same time, there was a slight disturbance in the trade union.
The parrot that came to the interview was detained.
One by one, the men in the trade group drew their guns from the goods and walked methodically towards the various passes in the camp.
Someone was shouting loudly to prevent the outsiders from entering, but the shouting soon stopped under gunfire pressure.
"Well done, Anderson!"
The tall figure patted Anderson on the shoulder, then turned to face the hundred or so soldiers in front of him.
Cleared his throat.
"Soldiers! I'm your Captain Tree! ”
"Now, I will read the order from the Supreme Leader of the Resistance!"
"Turtledove, a sergeant of the rebel army, disobeys military orders and disobeys military discipline. Acting without permission in the Buffalo Bazaar caused huge losses to the team. Go to El Paso now to be punished! ”
"Soldiers! From now on, you will accept my direct leadership! Anderson will continue to serve as your mentor! ”
……
After about ten minutes, the camp was quiet.
The greyhound left the neat line in the clearing and ran towards the turtledove's house.
He was standing under the window.
"Turtledove! Captain Big Tree lets you pass! ”
The turtledove threw away another ball of paper.
"Looks like they're in control of the situation, right?" Turtledove asked, looking under the window.
"Looks like so." There was a slight smile on the greyhound's face.
"Greyhound, after being by Anderson's side for so long, have you learned everything you should have learned?" Turtledove asked.
"Except for writing love poems to Elena, Helen and Mary, I learned everything else!" Greyhound said confidently.
The turtledove nodded.
"Just learn pretty much! Let's get to work! I'm not going! ”
The greyhound saluted the turtledove, turned and ran away.
……
"I didn't expect him to really dare to come?" Turtledove said to herself.
"I didn't expect him to come like this?" Giant Hard replied.
