Chapter 110: Geronimo's consternation
Back to last night, when the cannons of the white army rang out, smashing the turtledove's army to pieces, and almost instantaneously crushed—
Jerónimo led the warriors of his tribe to the front!
His team of more than a hundred men had the most horses, the most guns, and the richest. After the feat of robbing three estates in a row, it is difficult not to get rich.
Although Geronimo sternly demanded that the soldiers hand over all the captures to the turtledove, the soldiers were all living beings, and who wouldn't hide something in the crotch of their pants?
On the way north, Geronimo repeatedly begged the turtledove to rest, on the grounds that the war horse could not stand it. But Geronimo had a big bag of black beans in his pocket, something he would rather have fewer bullets left behind!
Geronimo didn't stop until he was more than thirty kilometers away from the battlefield.
He counted his men and horses, and almost all those who were still riding horses had run out. That is, those who did not have horses were all abandoned on the battlefield.
"Chief, they didn't catch up!" The worm lay on the horse's back, and the wet horse's back reeked of vomit.
Jeronimo listened attentively, and there was indeed no sound of pursuers in the rear.
"Worm, you will divinate for me again, turtledoves and them...... What's going on? Jerónimo said.
"Good!"
This time, instead of playing with the trick of lighting gunpowder with the palm of his hand, the worm rolled down from his horse, bowed in all directions, and slashed his cheek with his knife, and trembled as he uttered the words......
It was a long time before he stopped sweating profusely and came to Geronimo's face exhausted.
"Chief, they're all dead!"
Geronimo led the horse and looked quietly in the direction of the east, as if he had not heard the worm's answer.
So the worm had to say again: "Chief, they are all dead!" ”
"Bastard!" Geronimo slapped the insect on the cheek, "You must have made a mistake in divination!" Reoccupy it once! ”
The worm was slapped to the ground and spun around before falling to the ground.
He didn't care about his dizzy head, and hurriedly kowtowed a few times at Geronimo. "I'm sorry, Chief! I re-possess, I re-occupy ......"
Geronimo is moody, and the worm is deeply sensitive.
At this time, he didn't dare to say anything more, and picked up the knife again, and this time, he slashed from his forehead all the way to his navel, and his whole body was covered in blood.
This time he took a little longer.
"Chief, they're all dead......"
Geronimo was furious, grabbing the worm and shaking it like a rag bag. "Reoccupy! Repossession! Reoccupy it for Lao Tzu! ”
Shaken so much that he only had one breath left, the worm had to lift his knife again. This time, he had cut the front and back of himself with fish-scale wounds, blood dripping from his body and to his feet like a torrential rain......
He actually wanted to say, "Chief, they're still alive—"
But how could such a lie deceive Geronimo?
The team of turtledoves has been surrounded by white troops.
The insect saw with his own eyes that the turtledove was blown up by a cannonball......
The worm had been divining for a long time, and he felt that his blood was about to run dry, and he didn't think of what results he should divination.
At this moment, out of the darkness in the distance, a man rushed out.
It's a falcon!
Barefoot, it took him about two hours and thirty kilometers to catch up with Geronimo's troops......
"Chief! Chief—"
Before he could get closer, Hayabusa began to scream.
Geronimo stepped forward quickly. "Falcon, turtledove is still alive?"
Running out of breath, Hayabusa couldn't speak for a while, just panting with his hands on his knees, and the worms were anxious for him!
"Turtledove...... Turtledove ......"
"What's wrong with the turtledove?" Jerónimo asked hurriedly.
The worm lowered the voice of his muttering, and slowed his pace in circles, listening intently.
"Turtledove...... With the army...... Kill...... Went back......"
"What?" Geronimo was shocked, "Say it again, what's wrong with the turtledove?" ”
The falcon whistled like a hoarse wooden flute in its throat.
Jerónimo handed over his kettle, and Hayabusa took it and drank it, bent over and spit it out with a 'wow'.
Then he squatted on the ground and said intermittently: "Turtledove, gather his team and kill it to the south......"
"Huh?" Jerónimo was shocked!
"Chief! I saw the army of turtledoves, and it was a ...... One machine is the same, all people are exactly the same, exactly the same...... Chief, I think they can win! Hayabusa said.
"Yes...... Can you win? Geronimo asked in surprise.
"Definitely win, Chief! I've seen it with my own eyes, Chief! Don't you see, his army...... I rub, it's so neat! It's spectacular! I rub, it's great! It's amazing......"
The falcon is not a parrot, and he does not praise such a team in thirty-six poems in eighteen languages, but only expresses his shock with a continuous 'I rub'.
But in the ears of Geronimo, it was enough!
At this moment, the worm trembled, screamed, and lay on the ground.
"Chief, ......," said the worm in his dying breath, "I have finally received instructions from the gods—the gods say that this time, the turtledove will not die, but will turn defeat into victory, and be reborn from the ashes, and go straight to the nine heavens!" ”
……
Jerónimo is a cautious man.
He sent three teams of scouts to reconnoiter the battlefield.
In the second half of the night, news came from Tanma: "Turtledove victory!" ”
Geronimo was so startled that he bounced off the ground and scurried back and forth.
"Let's go again!"
So the tanma began a second round of exploration.
Jerónimo looked at the full moon in the sky and did not speak for a long time.
His feelings for turtledoves are quite complicated, and even he himself can't figure it out.
On the one hand, he didn't want the turtledove to die. He was smart enough to understand what turtledoves meant to the group of Indians. He also surrendered to the turtledove's body, and on the premise of not hurting himself, he was also willing to become the sword in the turtledove's hands......
But on the other hand, if the turtledove is still alive, what is it?
Not to mention that as long as there are turtledoves, he will never be able to dominate Mount Madre, even tonight, he fled in a hurry with his team, what is it?
If he is a turtledove, can he still tolerate himself?
Jerónimo was upset, and he only felt that there were two more Jerónimos in his heart, and they were fighting fiercely.
It didn't take long for Tanma to bring news that shocked Geronimo even more.
"Chief, the turtledove has won a great victory and has taken Hamilton Manor!"
"Chief, fifteen dollars have gathered up the rout, and are attacking Christopher's army!"
……
"Chief, Icardo has reorganized his troops into the 'Tonatiu Legion' and has begun to lead his army north this morning!"
"Chief, fifteen dollars defeated Christopher's army! He also gathered 10,000 horses of the angry wind! ”
……
"Chief, fifteen dollars have formed the 'Shulotel Legion', which numbers as many as 10,000 people, and is heading west, ready to retreat into the forests of the Madre Mountains!"
"Chief, the turtledove and fifteen dollars have met!"
