Chapter Forty-Eight: Let's Go!
The location of the Cuaucht Mokchu was the place where the turtledoves and the waterwheels, and fifteen dollars, after several discussions, thought that the white army was most likely to pass.
But now there is a worst-case scenario, the white army does not know what the wind is pumping, they don't pass through here!
If they don't come, all the arrangements that Ikaruga has made here in advance will be in vain!
Moreover, at this time, Baishi City was like a lamb to be slaughtered, and took the initiative to rest his neck on the eucalyptus board.
There will always be all kinds of strange accidents in war, but Ikaruga didn't expect that this accident would appear so quickly!
He hadn't thought of such a situation beforehand, but after all, he still felt that the possibility of such an 'accident' would be very low - after all, if the team on the opposite side wanted to rush to White Rock City as fast as possible, this should be the way for them!
It's just that there happens to be a law in this world, if there is something that you think is the worst and it is basically unlikely to happen, then it will often happen!
"It's over! Finished! It's over! The lame veteran dropped his gun, pulled a tobacco leaf out of his crotch and chewed it in his mouth.
The significance of this battle, everyone here knows.
They are not afraid of war, they are afraid that there will be no war to fight!
……
The guns had not yet sounded, but the turtledove knew that the war had begun.
"Get on the horse!"
The turtledove jumped out of the trench and rushed behind the hill.
Several veterans were stunned for a moment, and then followed the turtledove to the back of the hill.
There were the horses they had ridden.
Two wounded soldiers, who were really unable to ride horses, looked at them enviously, waved at them, and said goodbye.
A dozen fast horses rushed down from the hill and, guided by the banner of the crescent moon in the distance, took the initiative to chase after the white army.
The turtledove wore a colorful crown of feathers, rolled up his sleeves, and deliberately ripped open his clothes, revealing his chest, which had been as dark as iron after two years of being exposed to the wind and sun!
Behind him, he held high a banner of eight colors, which hunted in the wind as the horses under him galloped.
The Great Wilderness is boundless and empty, and there is nothing to pass through.
But where there are turtledoves, that's where the white army must pass!
This time, the turtledoves need to use themselves to drag them to Kuauchtmok.
……
Ten kilometers east of Kuauchtmok, the army of Bill, the fast gunner, was advancing in full swing.
It's only thirty kilometers away from White Rock City, and if you speed up your pace, you might be able to get there in the afternoon, end the battle before sunset, and take White Rock City.
Then tomorrow morning, you can go back to Oregon!
In fact, his party did not pass through Kuauchtmok, and had nothing to do with Bill's command at all, nor was it a miscalculation by the turtledoves and the waterwheels.
- On the endless plains, no matter what goal you follow, you will not end up walking in a straight line!
This simple truth is often encountered by many people in life, the road that people step out of the grass is always in an arc shape, and the straight line between two points is the shortest, but people always take detours.
If you dig deeper, this should be another alternative science.
It's just that no one is digging into the truth at this time. All Bill wanted was to finish White Rock as quickly as possible;
What the turtledove thinks of is to use all means to drag this white army to Kuauchtmok!
It was only in Kuauchtmok that the turtledoves had the only hope of winning, though that hope was still quite slim.
Thirty kilometers away from White Rock City, you can already see the Bulak Mountain in the distance.
A white spot is displayed on the mountainside, and if you look closely, it seems that you can still see the traces of rare buildings in that white spot.
"Captain, that's White Rock City!" Snyder ran to Bill's side and pointed ahead.
Bill paused, held up his binoculars, and looked ahead.
"Oh, what did they do?" Bill's mouth let out an exclamation of disbelief, "Is that a factory, Snyder?" ”
"Yes, Captain! The Yancton tribe has given us information that there is now an ironworks, a printing house, a mining company, and many shops of all kinds, and at least two thousand people providing them with ore, charcoal, and transportation. ”
"These Indians are simply wishful thinking!" Bill sneered, "Just because of them, they want to build an ironworks? ”
"Uh...... Mr. Captain, in fact, they have already been built! Moreover, it is said that they succeeded in producing the first molten iron a week ago! ”
"Really? Where did their technology come from? ”
"I don't know."
"Despicable Indians!" Bill took the binoculars and looked into the distance, cursing incessantly, "They usually steal wallets and baked sweet potatoes, but now they steal our technology!" Snyder, we've come at the right time! We're going to destroy there! ”
"Yes, Mr. Captain. That's exactly what Mr. Fremont sent us for. Snyder said.
Bill put down his binoculars and said fiercely, "Not only will you destroy that factory, but you will also kill all the people there, and not a single one will be left!" ”
"Of course!" Snyder said, "Remember the Seminoles of Florida? We allowed them to move westward in God's mercy, but they rebelled against us again and again on the way and caused us great trouble. This time we can't be soft-hearted, and we shouldn't even give them the opportunity to migrate! ”
"Yes! Migration? Let them go to hell! Mere Indians, even want to build a city? Let's go, Snyder! ”
Captain Bill kicked the horse beneath him, causing it to speed up its pace and try to reach the White Rock City, where it could smell its evil aura even thirty kilometers away before sunset.
At this time, a horse from the rear rushed up.
"Captain! Captain! Enemy troops were spotted in the rear! ”
Bill pulled the leash and asked, "Rear?" Where did the centaurs come from? How many people are there? ”
"There must be about twenty of the enemy's troops, and we cannot discern their origins, and the Indians are as if they had been carved out of a mold, and they cannot be distinguished at all. But the guy at the head is full of feathers on his head, and he is dressed like a bum! ”
Captain Bill was stunned.
In these years, there are not many Indians who dare to dress up as Indians, wearing suits and ties, and shining leather shoes, which is the most fashionable dress of Indians!
Snyder frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he took out a crumpled copy of the Denver Daily from his horse and handed it to the cavalryman. "Look, doesn't it look like this?"
The cavalryman only glanced at it, and immediately replied, "Yes, that's it!" ”
Snyder was so ecstatic that he almost jumped off his horse and said to Bill, "Captain, I know who he is!" I know who he is! ”
"Who?" Bill asked.
"Turtledove! He's a turtledove! We've caught a big fish, Captain! Snyder said excitedly.
