Chapter 232

Dashi's wooden house is well preserved, at least there is no damage. However, looking closer along the way, the stone bear realized that the loss suffered by the apalu tribe was far more serious than just imagined.

More than 70% of the houses of the whole apalu tribe have been damaged. Almost all the houses on the outside of the tribe have been burned, and most of the houses inside are smoky and burning. Obviously, the enemy's sneak attacks were mainly rocket attacks.

At this time, all the Indians living in houses, except the northernmost Inuit, almost all built houses with wood. Well, the Indians who live in animal skin tents don't count. There's a big difference between a tent and a house.

It's really easy to build a wooden house. Dozens of logs are smashed into the ground, covered with thatch mixed with yellow mud, and then covered with a few layers of leaves. A house is built. Of course, the roof of a slightly more particular wooden house is also made of logs and covered with rain proof thatch and leaves. Such houses are usually inhabited by big people in the tribe.

This kind of wooden house consumes less time and is easy to build, but it is not fireproof. Once there is a fire, it is almost hopeless.

Along the way, the stone bear found that the number of people in the appalu tribe seemed to be a little less, and almost everyone's face was very angry. For the arrival of the stone bear, they just nodded slightly, even if they had said hello, which was quite different from the previous warm welcome scene.

He followed Dashi into the wooden house where he lived. After two people sat down, Dashi sighed and said, "guardian, our tribe has suffered serious losses this time. Those damned Raiders touched our tribe in the dark, and then fired rockets at our tribe. Several people were burned in the house."

"How could that be? Didn't you notice when the chekasa crossed the river? " Stone bear very puzzled asked.

The little Tennessee River to the west of the apalu tribe is the natural barrier of the tribe. It is not so easy for the chekasa people in the west to cross the little Tennessee River unconsciously.

The reason why this river was called "little Tennessee River" in later generations is that it is the largest tributary of Tennessee River. To become the largest tributary of the Tennessee River, the eighth largest river in the United States, the flow of the little Tennessee River is very abundant, otherwise the Americans would not have built five dams on this river, which is only over 100 kilometers long, in order to control this manic river.

Now there is no reinforced concrete dam on the river, so the manic River becomes the best natural barrier.

If you want to cross the river safely, you will be very familiar with the marsh area at the lower reaches of the river and be able to find a safe road in the marsh like the people of the local tribes. Otherwise, you will have to make a detour along Henan and finally enter the deep part of Dawu Mountain, and cross the river through the wooden bridge in the narrowest place.

Without the windsurfing boats built by vasichus, it is almost impossible for local people to cross the river in that kind of canoe at this time - the rapid current can directly overturn the canoe.

It is obviously impossible to cross the river in the downstream swamp. It is not the bravest and most experienced local hunter who dare not enter the swamp. When the stone bear went hunting alone in the West and met Baiyun, he found the best local guide to lead the way through the swamp.

Of course, the best local guides are the Cherokees, and they can't lead the way for the chekasa.

As for the wooden bridge deep in the south mountain, it was built by the apalu tribe, and the tribe had special personnel to guard it every day.

Therefore, it is impossible for the chekasa people to cross the little Tennessee River without knowing it.

Dashi shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "it's not the chekasa people, it's the Yuchi people who were once driven away by us! Those damned guys went over the fog mountain along the valley, and quietly touched our tribe, and then attacked us. Fortunately, there are fewer people coming here, so our tribe is lucky to survive. If there are more people coming here, our tribe will have to cooperate with you... "

When Dashi said this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. His voice suddenly stopped and he looked at the stone bear uneasily.

The stone bear shook his head, waved his hand and said, "uncle, our long hair cattle tribe has no time for nearly a year. I'm ok."

Dashi and Shixiong have a good chat, so Dashi once heard about longmaoniu tribe from the mouth of Shixiong.

"Uncle, how dare Yuchi attack us Cherokee? Haven't they been driven to the south of blue fog by us long ago? "

As early as after the Cherokees moved south to monongahira, the Cherokees with a large population started a war with the aborigines who originally lived in this area. They first drove away the most powerful bowatans in this area at that time, and then drove away the chekasa and Yuchi in the process of southward expansion.

Fortunately, the chekasa people said that they moved westward, making it impossible for the Cherokees to continue to expand westward with the help of the terrible swamp in central Tennessee. But Yuchi people are miserable.

As a branch of the Cree people, Yuchi people originally lived in the northwest slope of the Southern Blue Ridge. As a result, the Cherokee people came and drove Yuchi people away without reason, and then occupied this relatively flat and rich area.

The less populous Yuchi people could not compete with the powerful Cherokee people, so they had to cross the Southern Blue Ridge, namely Dawu Mountain, southward to live in the south of Dawu Mountain. At this time, there was no name of blue ridge or big fog mountain. At this time, this large mountain was called blue fog in the mouth of Cherokee.

Yuchi people live in the area at the southern foot of Dawu Mountain, which is a long and narrow area between Charlotte and Atlanta.

However, after being driven away, Yu Chi people have always been honest. Not to mention the increasingly powerful Cherokee people, even the chekasa people dare not provoke. This has been the case for more than 200 years. Why did the Yuchi people dare to cross the fog mountain and enter the Cherokee territory?

We should know that although Dawu Mountain is the highest mountain in the whole Appalachian Mountains, it can only effectively block the big army. After all, the mountain is high and the forest is deep, which is not suitable for the big army.

But small units are different. There are many rivers in Dawu Mountain, and each river has a valley. Just like the little Tennessee River, you can swim up the little Tennessee River until you come to the end and cross a mountain to find another river, which is the source of the famous Savannah River.

As long as Yuchi people want, they can sneak along the valley to their former hometown.

Unfortunately, the apalu tribe was attacked by such a small group of Yuchi people who secretly climbed over Dawu Mountain along the valley.

The Cherokee drove the Yuchi people away from the land where they had lived for thousands of years. There was almost endless feud between the two tribes, and it was natural for them to attack each other.

But how dare these guys be so bold? Do they really think the Cherokees are gone?
