Just a few hours before Big Ear left for the city of East Valley, several white men visited his Duck Clan, led by a somewhat bearded man.

Big Ears came out to greet him, and said respectfully in unfamiliar English: "Hello, Mr. Latin. ”

The bearded man immediately corrected: "It's not Latin, it's Reading, Pearson Reading." ”

Big Ears hurriedly smiled, "Yes, Mr. Pearson Redding." ”

In fact, his pronunciation was still not standard, but Reading did not bother to continue to correct it, but said: "Sutterburg needs to build a few new houses, let your people come with me...... Mr. Sartre likes you very much, and this time you can get an extra five ounces of bread or flour a day. ”

One ounce is about twenty-eight grams, and five ounces is one hundred and forty grams.

An extra 140 grams of flour is almost an extra meal, and if it was the former wild duck clan, most of them would be overjoyed.

However, after working for East Valley City for a period of time, they naturally only have disdain and resentment in their hearts for the oppression of Sutterburg.

Despite the disdain in his heart, he still had to make a polite smile on his face: "Okay, okay, we must go, but ......"

"But what?"

Big Ear said cautiously: "But can you give us a grace period of two days, and we will go to Sutterburg the day after tomorrow?" ”

Reading frowned slightly: "What?" ”

"Many of my clansmen are trading in a clan in the south and are coming back, but they haven't come back yet, and they don't have manpower for a while. ”

Reading looked left and right at the Wild Duck Clan: "I see that there are a lot of you, and twenty people can't come?" ”

"The clan must have some people to guard it," said the big ear, "and if twenty men are sent to Satteburg, there will be only women and children left here." ”

After a pause, he added, "Just two days, two days at most." Mr. Redding, in two days' time, or just tomorrow, I must go to Sutterburg with twenty skilled builders. ”

Reading nodded: "Okay, don't forget, I'll go back first." ”

Big Ears smiled and thanked again and again, "Thank you very much, generous Mr. Reading. ”

Pearson Redding casually molested a young girl and led them away from the Wild Duck Clan.

After Reading left, Big Ear immediately called a few clansmen: "Go, immediately go to Donggu City to inform the Great Chief of the Horse Whistle!" ”

Several people hurried up and came to the town hall of Donggu City in the afternoon of the same day: "Chief Horse Whistle, I think we can act!" ”

Ma Sentry looked at the panting people: "Sutterburg told you to work?" ”

Big Ear nodded: "Yes, and it's to go into Sutter Fort to repair the house, the day after tomorrow." ”

"Good." The horse sentry immediately called Du Guan and ordered, "Du Guan, you pick twenty soldiers, let them dress up as members of the Wild Duck Clan, and when the time comes, follow Big Ear into Satter Fort, and then take the opportunity to seize the tower and the city gate." ”

"Yes!" Du Guan answered excitedly.

At this time, there were about twenty Maedu working in the city of East Valley, so the Apache soldiers only had to borrow a suit from them.

However, the people of the Wild Duck Clan don't wear shirts, which makes them feel a little troublesome.

"Centurion, they don't have any shirts, where should we hide our guns?" The soldier asked.

"In the crotch, of course!" Without hesitation, Duguan hid the Browning pistol in his crotch.

The soldiers looked at each other: "This ...... What should I do if I get on fire? ”

Du looked at the soldier who spoke: "Didn't you say before that you were not afraid of death?" ”

"It seems to be more terrible than death......"

Du Wei interrupted him: "Don't talk nonsense, immediately hide the gun in the crotch of your pants, and it is up to us to liberate Sutter Fort!" ”

"Yes." The soldiers obeyed the order and carefully hid their pistols in the crotch of their trousers and secured them with ropes.

In terms of attire, twenty Apache soldiers could easily dress up as the Mallard Clan, but the temperament of the two was quite different.

The Apache soldiers were elite professional soldiers, determined and full of fighting spirit, very different from the Maidu who had long been oppressed by Fort Sutter.

At least from the eyes of the Apache or Maidu, the two groups could be distinguished almost at a glance.

The wolf couldn't help but say with some doubts: "There is still a difference, will it be discovered by the whites?" ”

Big Ear laughed: "Whites can't tell the difference, they see us all with the same face." We look at them as similar. ”

"Okay." The wolf thought about it and realized that he was indeed a little face blind when he looked at white people.

Taking advantage of the last night before departure, the Apache soldiers learned a little Maidhu and learned more about the situation at Fort Sutter to prepare for it.

The next day, Ma Whistle led more than fifty people from Donggu Castle.

Among the more than 50 people, there were a few genuine Maidus such as Big Ear, as well as thirty Apache soldiers, and twenty Apache soldiers disguised as Maidu.

After about a day's journey, they approached Fort Sutter early in the morning of the third day, hid behind a dirt slope, and observed Fort Sutter ahead with telescopes.

"Duyan, after you infiltrate the Sutter Fort, first capture the tower, and then the east gate or the south gate, and then I will attack from the outside, and control the whole fortress from the inside and outside." The horse whistle lowered the binoculars.

Du Wei nodded: "Understood." ”

"Alright, let's do it." The horse whistle patted his big ears with a little nervousness, and said with a smile, "Relax, as long as you can enter the fort, those amateur white soldiers are vulnerable." ”

"Amateur?" Big ears don't quite understand this concept.

"We are truly professional soldiers. Look at the guys with guns in Sutterburg, it's six o'clock, and they haven't trained yet. ”

"Okay." Big Ear took a deep breath and settled.

"Soldiers, fix your pistols." Duguan reminded, and then said, "Let's go." ”

A few Maidus of Big-Eared walked in front, followed by twenty soldiers in disguised Apache disguise, and in a short time they came to the vicinity of Fort Sutter, only about a hundred meters from the city gate.

"Wait." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the side, making everyone a little nervous.

Especially Big Ear, he didn't have this kind of experience, and he didn't even have the experience of fighting with people, so he suddenly turned a little pale and turned his head slowly.

He was relieved that it was not a soldier or a manager of Sutterburg who was speaking, but a shopkeeper whom he knew.

The shopkeeper looked quite young, probably less than thirty years old, of medium build, with some beard: "Big ears, right?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Brannan." Big Ear said politely.

Brannan's shop was built outside Sutterburg and looked like a brand new building that seemed to have just opened.

Brannan stood at the door of the store, holding a bottle of wine in his hand: "I have some good wine here, better than the one I sold to you last time, why don't you have a little more?" ”
