The turtledove punished Jeronimo in public, but instead rallied the whole team.

Such an effect is also unexpected.

For the rest of the trip, the team couldn't help but speed up a lot.

The horses were slamming down, piling up with the corpses on the side of the road. The hovering vultures rushed down, startled by the still panting horses, and then quickly raised and startled, and let out a strange 'quack'.

The sun gradually receded, turning into a bright red sun.

The colorful flags were also skewed.

Turtledove occasionally turned his head to look back, only to think that he was leading a group of deserters who had just returned from a crushing defeat on the battlefield.

……

"Turtledove! Turtle dove! ”

The parrot rode fast from behind, shouting all the way.

The turtledove sighed in his heart.

It's not really going to fall apart, is it?

It doesn't make sense, that Scott has been tamed by him, shouldn't he talk about collapse, right?

The turtledove stopped and waited for the parrot to approach.

"Parrot, what's wrong?" Turtledove asked.

"Turtledove!" When the parrot saw the turtledove, her eyebrows fluttered. "It's done! It's done! ”

"Oh, well done, parrot!" Turtledove laughed. "You've done a great job for us!"

"Hey, hey!" The parrot was very happy, and pretended to be modest in his mouth: "It should be, it should be!" I'm a person, I don't have other skills, but I'm still very good at diplomacy and trade! ”

The parrot's proud expression was visible to everyone.

"Also, I got a very useful piece of information from Scott - "The parrot is sold."

"Oh?" The turtledove listened with great interest.

The parrot leaned over on the horse's back, covered its mouth with its hand, and lowered its voice: "There is a small manor about fifteen kilometers east of here, which has a lot of horse material stockpiled, which was originally used to supply Scott, and the defense there is weak, and there are only a dozen soldiers guarding it!" ”

The turtledove's eyes lit up all at once.

Before he could speak, the giant hard next to him blurted out: "Really? ”

"Seriously!" Parrot said excitedly, "Although Scott's poisonous oath doesn't work very well, he will never joke about our cooperation!" ”

Rao is turtledove has always been moody, and at this time he couldn't help but grin.

"God help me! God help me! Turtledove said again and again.

By this time, nearly a quarter of the horses in the team had fallen from Scott's 'trade'. If the forced march continued, it would certainly be possible to reach the Alamogordo before dark, but the entire cavalry team would probably have to be turned into infantry again.

Cavalry and infantry are two completely different concepts.

Even in the 19th century, when thermal weapons were already dominant, even his Indian warriors had no training in cavalry tactics at all, and could only be counted as four-legged infantry - with and without horses, and there was a world of difference in combat effectiveness!

That's why Jeronimo, knowing that he might anger the turtledove, came to suggest to the turtledove to stop and rest.

And the turtledove almost couldn't suppress his suspicion of Geronimo because of this, and gave him a resounding slap in the face!

Horses, it's so important, it's so important!

"Order-", Ikaruga excitedly said to the giant hard and fifteen dollars, "rest for ten minutes, and go east instead!" ”

"Yes, turtledove!" "Okay, turtledove!"

Giant hard and fifteen dollars excitedly took the order.

Everyone was excited about the imminent robbery of a manor house with a large hoarding of horse material.

At this time, it simply generates more momentum than robbing dollars and gold!

Geronimo came up from behind again.

"Turtledove, why do you want to go east instead?" Geronimo asked.

"Jerome!" The turtledove excitedly said to Geronimo: "There is a horse yard to the east!" ”

Jerónimo was surprised! Then he was overjoyed, "Turtledove, leave it to me!" ”

"Haha!" Turtledove laughed, "Let's go!" ”

Jerónimo laughed too, "Good! ”

As the news of the military order spread, there was a commotion in the ranks. The Indian warriors on horseback jumped off their horses one by one and diligently massaged and fed their horses.

When they marched, they rode on the back of their horses, and when they stopped to rest, they wanted to let the horses ride on their backs.

……

Ten minutes of rest, little by little.

As if providence was helping them, the remnant sun sank into the clouds, and a cool breeze blew on the wasteland.

"It may rain later, turtledove!" The parrot is also a meteorologist, and in the entire Turtledove tribe, only Anderson can match his attainments.

"Really?"

"Look, that dark cloud is coming towards us!" The parrot pointed to the north.

That's the direction in which the furious winds are fleeing.

God knows what the angry wind has done, this 'Northern Expedition', there is always a dark cloud hovering overhead. Heavy rain and mud made his 'Northern Expedition' road full of mud and bumps!

"God help me! God help me! Turtledove said excitedly.

The heavy rain will not only quench their thirst, but it will also create better concealment for their raids.

It's not just turtledoves who think so, everyone thinks so.

Everyone is gearing up to do a big job.

"Turtledove, it's almost over, let's go!" Jerónimo couldn't wait to speak.

Having sacked three wealthy estates last night, Geronimo, who had tasted victory, had a stronger desire than anyone else.

Turtledove looked at his pocket watch, and the time was almost up.

Although this short rest will not bring much recovery for everyone, it should be almost enough to cope with a run of more than ten kilometers.

Ten minutes of rest on enemy territory is already a luxury.

Thanks to crescent moons, sturgeons and smoked fish, they ran tirelessly, and every hour that passed, intelligence on the actions of the enemy came.

so that the turtledove will not become blind and deaf.

"Hasn't the smoked fish come back yet?" Turtledove asked.

The decision to rest for ten minutes was not made by the turtledove.

After the parrot told the turtledove that there was a manor house to the east of the turtledove that had hoarded horse feed, it was time for the smoked fish to come back and report the news.

But the smoked fish didn't come back then.

So Ikaruga decided to wait another ten minutes, so that the soldiers could rest by the way.

Now ten minutes have passed, and the smoked fish has not returned on time.

"Turtledove, don't wait for him!" "Smoked fish is still a kid, he can't always be so punctual!" ”

At the age of eleven, Smoked Fish is the youngest of the 'Little Creep Trio' and the most mischievous.

The guy who stood on the threshold of the turtledove and peed was him!

"Hmm-wait!" Turtledove said.

The cool breeze calmed his fiery brain a little.

Although he didn't doubt the parrot's intelligence, he still felt that in the enemy's wild area, he should not casually use his face to explore the grass.

At least wait for the smoked fish -

In the past year, Smokefish has received more than twenty exploration missions, and he has never been late for a single one.

He's still a kid, but he's mature.

"Turtledove, don't wait any longer, there are so many of us, let's go!"

"Yes, turtledove, that white army has already gone south, if we wait any longer, maybe they will return north again, and many things will come out!"

"We can take advantage of the moment to catch it off guard!"

"If the horses don't eat again, they'll all die!"

Everyone was gossiping, and they were all persuading the turtledove.

Geronimo also plucked up his courage and whispered, "Turtledove, why don't you let my people go first, and then everyone will follow?" ”
