Chapter 82: Brave and cowardly

War, in a way, is less than who makes mistakes.

The blood wolf was not without mistakes in this pursuit,

As a fast-moving force in the enemy's territory, the Shulotel Legion has a highly centralized command center, basically wherever the blood wolf goes, the other soldiers will follow in that direction without hesitation.

The darkness of the night gave both sides excellent camouflage, and a few classes of Stephen Carney's team were a large pancake, but the light emanating from the darkness was still faint.

The Blood Wolf had strayed from the direction of the pursuit on several occasions, but luckily he had watched Stephen Carney's group pull westward, and he had already arranged for the scout to be far away. Even if his headquarters gets lost, it can be corrected in 30 minutes at the latest.

People often say that the luck of the blood wolf is very good, such as the surprise attack on Griffin Fortress four months ago, which happened to meet the British army preparing to move the camp; Also included at North 21 outpost, where his team happened to be behind Fremont's ass; Even this time, after a night of pursuit in the vast wasteland, Stephen Carney's team was found accurately.

There are even many unobtrusive legends among the Indians, saying that the blood wolf has been favored by the lord of the night, Shulotle, and has the power to communicate with the lord of the earth, so he can see through the fog of war perfectly, so he will always win a hundred battles.

But in fact, only the blood wolf himself knows where the gods are favored, and everything is just his own racking of brains.

If the Lord of the Night, Shulotle, really wanted to choose a spokesman among the Indians, it would definitely not be him. The Lord of White Rock City is more suitable than him, a thousand times more suitable!

……

The battle took place around 3 p.m., and the Americans were extremely tired, except for Stephen Carney, who was still swinging his whip from side to side like a sturdy bull, driving away his bunnies with his characteristic loud voice.

"Cheer up, bunnies! The Prater River is just a creek ahead, and you can walk through it with your trouser leg up at this season! ”

"Captain Smith, take care of your soldiers! They're not even as good as an old man like me! ”

"Walking is the easiest thing in the world, you just have to step one leg and then the other, didn't your mother teach you?"

"There is no moon tonight, but the sky is full of stars, and that is the flag of America! God bless America, bunnies! ”

"Look, how did this unlucky guy fall into the pit? Al, leave two soldiers to gather the wounded along the way, and wait for the news of our victory on the south side of the Prater! ”

Stephen Carney was an inspirational master, and his sonorous voice was like a steam engine stuffed with coal, rumbling to drive the team forwardβ€”

Until there was a gunshot ahead!

"Damn, what's up ahead?" Stephen Carney left the center and ran to the front army.

This is his instinctive reaction, and in his nearly 40 years of military career, he has been brave and persistent, and has solved almost all problems himself. He knew all about how to fight, especially the infantry line, and the West Point textbook was based on his ranks.

But he now leads a huge army of more than 12,000 soldiers!

By the time he drove his horse to the front army, the gunfire had stopped.

"Ensign Green! Grimm - Damn it, what about your sir? Stephen Carney looked at the corpses all over the ground and was furious!

"General Carney!" One of the soldiers stood on the ground and replied in a loud voice: "A cavalry has intercepted us, and after firing a round of guns at us, they have retreated!" Ensign Green walked ahead of the line and fell at the beginning! ”

β€œfk!” Stephen Carney cursed, not knowing whether to scold the hapless Ensign Green, or the Indian cavalry that disappeared in the dark. "See how many of them there are?"

"Didn't see clearly, General!" The soldier replied, "Maybe you should ask Lieutenant Hill, he's still alive!" ”

"Where is he?"

"He's over there!" The soldier pointed in the right direction, and Stephen Carney drove his horse over, shouting "Hill!" You son of a bitch, come and see me! ”

His guards pulled a trembling officer out of the pile of corpses in front of him, lifted him up and dragged him in front of Stephen Carney.

"General, when we found him, we thought he was a corpse, he was playing dead, General!" The Guards saw what was going on, and straightened Ciel, who couldn't even speak, and placed him under Stephen Carney's horse.

- At this time, gunshots were also heard from the side!

"Ciel, you piece of shit!" Stephen Carney jumped off his horse, put his gun on Hill's head, and said fiercely, "If it weren't for the fact that you are the son of Congressman James, I would have killed you today!" Get your team in order, grab your weapons, and hold this line! ”

Stephen Carney left Lieutenant Hill behind and ran in the direction from which the gunshots came from the side.

Until this time, he had not realized that he had fallen into the kite tactics of the cavalry.

It's been a long, long time since the age of cold weapons, so long ago that even Stephen Carney's grandfather was a Native American with a musket in the mountains.

For a 62-year-old veteran, war is to line up and shoot the musket in his hand on the enemy's head when the enemy who is also lined up is about to walk in front of him.

Courage is the magic weapon to overcome everything, and as long as the soldier is brave enough, it can bring victory.

Starting at 3 o'clock at night and ending at 6 o'clock at dawn, Stephen Carney ran several laps of the front and left of the team in between, and the results were remarkable.

His team remained firmly entrenched on the banks of the Pratt River, standing still despite the gunfire of last night.

It's just that under the light of the day, this huge pancake has been missing a whole circle.

……

The first wave of attack chosen by the Blood Wolves was not to chase Stephen Carney's rear army, but to dangle a shot head-on, touch away, and make an interception.

The night belongs to the brave, some people's bravery is hidden in their bones, and some people's bravery is worn on their coats.

When Stephen Carney took 80% of the team from Fort Bent to attack White Rock City, the blood wolf knew that Stephen Carney was actually a coward!

If you really want a surprise attack, you don't need 12,000 people, 1,200 people are enough!
