Chapter 410

Felisa envied that the guy named Mendoza left this damned place with the escort of two tribal soldiers. If possible, Felisa wished that man was herself!

It's a pity that Felisa himself knows that this is obviously impossible. At least, I'm afraid I can't leave this place until the ransom, that is, the 500 horses, is delivered.

Now that he has promised to use 500 horses as ransom to redeem himself and his brothers, Felisa quickly recommended Lieutenant Mendoza as the liaison officer between the gaoshu tribe and general Carlos. To put it bluntly, Lieutenant Mendoza is a messenger. He sends the information here intact to major general Carlos. Then major general Carlos informs the manager of the Fernando family in the new Spanish territory, and finally delivers the ransom.

This process will take at least three months or more. After all, the Fernando family's territory is far away in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula

Since it is a messenger, it must be delivered in the shortest time. But in this season, if you want to go out alone, it's like looking for death. If you insist on going out, the most likely thing is that the person who didn't send the letter first froze to death, or was eaten alive by hungry wild wolves in the wilderness.

Therefore, in order to protect the personal safety of lieutenant Mendoza, stone bear sent two soldiers to escort Lieutenant Mendoza to catch up with the cattle cart team who went to Jamestown to deliver fodder.

In any case, major general Carlos is currently in the coastal fortress on the north side of Florida. In order to deliver the letter to the general, Lieutenant Mendoza must first cross the blue ridge from the East, enter the coastal area, and then go south along the Kerry territory.

Although it's snowing heavily in gaoshu tribe, as long as we cross the Blue Ridge and are blocked by the Appalachian Mountains, the cold air from the north to the South will be weakened a lot, so even if it's snowing in the east of the Blue Ridge, it won't be as heavy as it is in gaoshu tribe.

So the biggest difficulty for Lieutenant Mendoza is how to cross the blue ridge.

It is obviously impossible for him to cross the Blue Ridge alone in this season. He does not recognize the road alone, regardless of the weather.

Therefore, the bullock cart team, which has set out for a day, is Mendoza's best partner to cross the blue ridge.

Thanks to the slow speed of the bullock carts, even if they had already set out for a day, Lieutenant Mendoza, escorted by two tribal soldiers, was able to catch up with them quickly.

When it comes to the act of giving grass, in fact, Shi Xiong thought about it later and didn't want to do it. You can't do it if you don't!

Although the bullock carts can cross the Blue Ridge, if the speed is slower, they will surely be able to bring back the 500 horses. After all, the ox cart can walk, and the horse team won't have any problems.

But the stone bear knows that the fact is not so simple. First of all, if the stone bear wants to take these 500 horses, it is obviously impossible for the Colonel Jones to let them go without a gun. After all, these five hundred horses are worth five thousand pounds!

According to this era, one pound is about the value of 450 grams of silver, and 5000 pounds is 2.25 million grams of silver. According to the calculation that a gram of silver in 9102 was about 0.33 pounds, the 5000 pounds was worth 750000 pounds in 9102!

With the care of Colonel Jones, he would not let the tall tree tribe take the horse away without seeing the gun.

Similarly, stone bear is not at ease to take a gun to change horses. Stone bear is also worried that if Colonel Jones turns over?

So what they had agreed was that Colonel Jones would take the horses to the high tree tribe, and then his men would go back with a thousand rifles.

Now the stone bear wants war horses! Therefore, he would rather send fodder to Colonel Jones than let him return the horses to the colonists.

This is a very contradictory thing. How to choose depends on how the stone bear looks at this matter. The stone bear chose the most laborious but stable way - I would rather feed these horses than lose them!

Just like the deal between the stone bear and Felisa, in fact, the stone bear also made the deal at great risk.

Felisa and his party have already known the specific location of gaoshu tribe. According to the idea of stone bear, these people can't stay. Just like the French major Armand and their captives, they were finally killed by the stone bear.

But the temptation of 500 horses is too great. And the stone bear also thinks that even if the Spaniards know the specific location of the gaoshu tribe, there is no problem.

After all, the western expedition to the chekasa people will begin in the spring. Once the chekasa people are solved, the whole cheloki people will be safe in the west, South and East. Even if the Spanish want to come in quietly, it is not impossible, but it may be very small.

A small group of troops may not be able to find it, but if the troops with less than 5000 people want to kill the gaoshu tribe, they are just talking in their dreams. Expeditionary forces are equipped with so many grenades. Do you think the gaoshu tribe, as the base camp, will not be equipped with such weapons for defense?

That is obviously impossible.

But it's no exaggeration to say that, although the gaoshu tribe does not show mountains and water now, it is absolutely like a giant hedgehog. Who dares to find fault and make sure to stab him!

However, it is obviously impossible for the army to reach the gaoshu tribe in the hinterland of the Cherokee people.

What's more, after the spring of this year, it's not just the chekasa that bear wants to solve. As far as the strength of the expeditionary force is concerned, all the chekasa and Mississippi people will have to be solved once.

Even the French, who live on both sides of the Mississippi River, are ready to get rid of it.

Now the 55mm mortar developed by the four alchemists has entered the experimental stage. If the gaoshu tribe can make a catapult, there's nothing hard to do with mortars.

If it wasn't for the problems of materials and processing technology, Shi Xiong would like to make medium caliber or even large caliber heavy mortars.

However, this kind of 55mm small caliber mortar is enough in this era. This kind of small caliber mortar, which uses non flooded powder as propellant and has an effective range of more than 2500 meters, is almost the same as the mortar used in the Second World War.

In this era, mortars with an effective range of more than 2500 meters are just bugs.

Although it's very difficult to make mortars and mortar shells, it doesn't need much. The expeditionary army only needs to be equipped with ten or twenty gates and enough ammunition. Then a French military fortress can be directly won with one or two rounds of salvo fire.

Flowering bomb is also a bug like existence in this era.

Therefore, the stone bear is not worried about winning the area near the middle reaches of the Mihe river.

As long as you win the west, then the whole gaoshu tribe will be completely carefree!

It is because Shi Xiong has such assurance that he decides to complete the deal with Felisa.

It's time for Gao Shu tribe to show their muscles!
