Thomson's rout eventually managed to return to just over 30 men, and unfortunately not including Thomson himself.

The rout left Captain Graeme with a choice question that had only one option - should he immediately send troops to save Fremont?

But faced with this only option, Graeme still hesitated for a while.

Just this morning, he, like Fremont, thought everything was under control in Oregon. Whitefishtown, Livingston, and Randburg, like three iron pincers tightly clamping down on Whitestone, could not have any accidents.

But reality slapped him twice!

Whitefish Town is lost, such as a broken finger, this is a forehand shot!

Griffin Fortress is lost, like a thorn in the back, this is a backhand!

Even more troubling, what is the situation in Oregon today? Graeme could no longer believe any information about Captain Calle.

To rush into the rescue of Fremont in such a state of confusion is like going to the river blindfolded to save a drowning person.

If he could, Grim would even say to the drowning man, "You're just dead, don't bother me!" ”

But that's Fremont!

He is the founder of Oregon and California, the flag of America's westward expansion, the symbol of the pioneering spirit of the Union, a good friend of President Polk, the son-in-law of former Senate Speaker Thomas Benton, and the Republican Party's recognized candidate for the next president!

Graeme couldn't find any reason not to save him.

Even now it's almost dark, and Fremont might be dead!

Graeme still had to gather his troops and march southeast.

Even snatching back a corpse is better than doing nothing!

……

At about 5 p.m., as Graeme's army marched southeast from Livingston, all the men and horses in the whole of Greater Oregon, whether on the American side or on the Indian side, were involuntarily involved in the fighting.

From north to south –

The watermill led the Tonatiu Legion through the glacier of Beartooth Mountain, down the river with the Tower Waterfall;

The Blood Wolf's headquarters are besieging Fremont, and the two sides are afraid of each other and repeatedly probing;

In the mountains and forests to the west, an English army was trudging through the dark jungle, and the comrades who had been despised in the past had now become life-threatening ghosts, a little more vicious than the Indians had been to them;

Livingston's Grim Brigade marches eastward, trying to rescue Fremont;

And Alexander's Brigade, which had already set up camp in the Lamar Valley, was also under siege by the new army of White Rock City, which was personally commanded by Fifteen Dollars, and there were whining and roaring on all sides.

The U.S. artillery at Fort Randburg and the Indian artillery positions outside the city are also bombarding each other, and whoever can't hold it first will have to lose everything!

White Rock's original plan to besiege Livingston at 6 o'clock has since been unrecognizable.

From about 1 p.m., the gunfire at the 'North 21 Outpost' was the first to be fired, and by 5 p.m., the whole army was in a state of war.

The purpose of the attack was no longer Livingston, but the 30-kilometre stretch from Livingston to Randburg.

***

The turtledove's camp is set up on a tower-shaped ridge ten kilometers east of the Lamar Valley, and a stream flows past it, and not far ahead, it plummets into a cliff more than 30 meters high, making the sound of rumbling water.

Standing outside the camp, you can overlook the entire battlefield of Lamar Valley.

The Forces nouvelles began their attack from the east, but it didn't take long for more and more people to arrive from White Rock City, and in less than half an hour, they had surrounded the entire Lamar Valley like an iron bucket.

The original number of conscripts was 5,000, but now, a simple visual inspection has exceeded 10,000.

The valley was lit up with a bright fire, illuminating the whole valley as if it were day.

One piece of information flew into the turtledove's tent like snowflakes, and the heralds who came in and out often bumped into each other at the door, and then hurried away.

The reason why the New Army gave up the goal of Livingston and fought this battle in the Lamar Valley was actually a bit involuntary.

Tactically, Lamar Valley sits between Livingston and White Rock, blocking the way for the Forces nouvelles to be taken. Whether Livingston is fought or not, this stronghold of Alexander's Brigade in the Lamar Valley must be uprooted.

And a more direct factor is that the new army that is vigorously heading north, at this time, is like a rampant magma, and it will be ignited immediately when it encounters a trace of dry wood, not to mention turtledoves and fifteen dollars, no one can stop it at such a point.

Once the public opinion is stirred, it is of course an invincible weapon, but since ancient times, there are very few people who have manipulated the public opinion and can retreat from the backlash of the public opinion.

The loser is beaten into the abyss and then stepped on by future generations, and he will never be able to turn over; And those who succeed are the achievements of thousands of years, and they will be remembered for eternity.

This time, in order to win this decisive battle, the turtledove engulfed the entire city of White Rock Castle.

If you lose, three years of hard work will naturally be in vain, and you will never talk about the great cause of separating or dominating the country again.

The Mexican-American War was already the last chance for the Indians, and if they missed it, the best outcome from then on was to be honest and obedient. If you have a dark heart, it is also a way to survive for the king, just take care of yourself from now on, and don't expect to take care of the Indians.

However, dreams still have to be had. What if you win?

If this war is won, the first thing to bear the brunt of this battle is to take the head of Fremont, and further take the total land of Oregon and California of nearly 2 million square kilometers, 200,000 to 300,000 people, rich forests, coal, iron, gold and other minerals, and the sun and air that the Indians desperately need!

More importantly, after taking the tens of thousands of horses and horses of White Rock City from south to north, they chased fire and blood, tasted victory and glory, and saw the stars and the sea, and from then on, these tens of thousands of Indians could be regarded as truly alive.

The stubborn iron that has been tempered for thousands of years, this is the final quenching.

Dignity, glory and pride will be forged into their souls, and their blood will be reawakened, and they will become tens of thousands of seeds that will affect all the Indians of the world.

Since then, this nation has truly come to life.

This country can be called the first step.

From now on, even if they lose the next battle, they will still remember this great victory and make a comeback with hope!

From now on, even if they are in a foreign land, they can still remember the White Rock City that gave them a big victory today, and truly regard this place as their hometown!

From now on, when they see white people, they can raise their proud heads, so that they will not be ashamed of their skin color, and when they see yellow people, they can also calmly wait for help and help each other, so that they will not stand by and watch in order to go along with the general trend, and even look down on themselves!

……

This is a road to purgatory, and we can only walk it hand in hand!
