Chapter 276

In the next two days, although the expedition team speeded up as soon as possible, the mount that was originally used to increase mobility became their burden.

There's no way. Since you want to go over Dawu Mountain and get revenge from Yuchi people, it's very necessary to be mobile in battle. In fact, these mounts did play a great role in the battle. Whether it's attack or evacuation, with these mounts, the expeditionary team has a huge advantage in the battle.

But when these mounts enter the mountain area, they become a burden. But other people except the stone bear are very precious to these precious mounts, so no one is willing to abandon even one mount even if they are greatly involved.

The result is that even though the expedition team has tried its best to speed up, they are still delayed by fragmented Yuchi people in the next two days.

"Stone, it can't go on like this. The number of injured brothers in our team has increased to 12. Although it's not a serious injury, if it continues like this, things will not be good. Obviously, Yu Chi people are determined to leave us. We have to find a way Just after driving away more than a dozen harassed Yu Chi people, Gao Niu's face is dignified and says what he thinks about Shi Xiong.

Stone bear said with a bitter smile: "uncle, of course I understand this matter, but..." stone Bear looked at the horses who seemed not to know the danger and were still eating the grass on the ground, and shook his head again helplessly.

"Don't even think about it! These mounts must not be left behind. They are the most precious treasure of the tribe. " Gao Niu immediately understood the meaning of the stone bear and wanted to abandon the idea of taming the bison which was slow. Stone bear had already mentioned it to Gao Niu and Bigfoot before, but they were strongly opposed by them. Even Dashan and Tomahawk were determined to keep these mounts.

"OK..." stone bear grinned bitterly and raised his hands to make a surrender. Then he took out a thick piece of kraft paper from his waist pocket, which drew some routes before they came.

After staring at the road map, which is too simple for others to recognize, Shi Xiong finally points his index finger to a point on the map and says, "uncle, if we want to evacuate safely, we must find a place where we can fight with these Yuchi people. A place where our weapons can be used to our advantage. "

Big foot also came over, and there was a two inch long wound on his forehead. Yesterday evening, when a group of Yuchi people attacked, his forehead was wiped by a liuya. As a result, there was such a wound on his forehead.

"Guardian, I remember before I came here, you said in a place that if you build a dam under this place, it will form a lake here. I don't know what you mean by dam, but I think the place you said is not bad, at least the terrain is much flatter."

Stone bear said with a smile: "Uncle foot, the place you said is the place I mean."

On the way here, when the expedition team was camping, the camping place they chose was just next to Burton lake. Later generations of Americans built several dams on the upper reaches of the Tagalog River, forming several reservoirs, the most upstream of which is called Burton lake.

But at this time, without a dam, there would be no Burton lake.

However, the formation of a huge artificial reservoir in this area proves that the terrain in this area is much flatter, at least in the area covered by Burton lake, the terrain is much better than the surrounding high mountains and valleys.

The most important thing is that the tagalu river has formed several continuous bends at this position. Because of the slowing down of the terrain, the water potential at the bottom of these bends has become quite flat, and the depth of the river has also become very shallow. It is very easy to cross the tagalu River by riding.

In other words, no matter how they go, they have to choose this place to cross the river if they want to return the same way.

Bigfoot and Gao Niu recalled the scene when they were camping, looked at each other and nodded.

"I'll go and say to my brothers, keep speeding up and we'll try to get there this evening." Big foot said while he turned around and walked. In a short time, big foot's voice rang out over there.

The tired team continued to March.

Compared with the high spirited, including the stone bear did not expect that the road back was so difficult. The resilience of Yuchi people should not be underestimated.

After crossing a hill, the expedition team faced the sunset and began to cross the river in the shallow beach area.

Even if we choose this place as a decisive battle site, the stone bear doesn't want to break his own way.

The stone bear doesn't want to do those messy things. Although the number of expeditionary team is small, the weapons occupy the absolute advantage. As long as there is a good terrain, even if the Yuchi people catch up with 1000 people, they have confidence to be tough.

This foreshore is obviously a very suitable place for firecrackers. As long as you cross the river and build simple Fortifications on the grass beside the foreshore, with more than 150 rounds of ammunition left by each of your brothers, Shi Xiong is confident to teach the pursuing Yuchi people another lesson. Let them fully understand why the flowers are so red and why the pot is made of iron!

As they climbed the hill, they saw something abnormal around them. Obviously, Yu Chi people also want to finish the final pursuit here.

Even without the help of a telescope, the stone bear can see the abnormal conditions around the hill, at least in six directions. Obviously, there are a large number of people in the dense forest in those six directions.

Even in the direction opposite the foreshore, it seems that there are activities of Yuchi people. The Yuchi people in that direction were obviously prepared to intercept the expedition team, but more of them pursued and surrounded the expedition team behind and on its flanks.

Since that is the case, we can't do anything to burn the boat. Wouldn't it be better to cross the tagalu River and then half cross the enemy on the other side?

As for Yu Chi people blocking in front, as long as they dare to show up, Shi Xiong doesn't mind letting them taste the power of the platoon gun.

In the process of going down the mountain, the stone bear told the brothers of the expedition team about the surrounding situation, so when crossing the river, there was no need for the stone bear to arrange. The brothers crossed the tagalu River in an orderly way, and then built a simple fortification on the grass beside the river beach.

The mount, after inserting a piece of cloth in his ear, was still pushed aside by ten soldiers.

If the estimation is good, Yuchi people should attack at night!
