The western expedition was not as good as the southern and Eastern expeditions before. In this age when there were no roads or railways, and in this age when there were no cars, trains or even bicycles, all the traffic depended on one or two, and all the roads depended on two pedals.
The most difficult way to go in the southern and Eastern expeditions is to cross the Blue Ridge and Dawu Mountain. As long as you cross these two mountains, the rest of the road is smooth.
On the other hand, during the journey to the west, you can hardly see mountains or hills, valleys and flat basins. Even if you go to the East Bank of the Mihe River, you can see that there are still uneven hills everywhere.
Moreover, in this era, the vegetation on the ground and hillside has hardly been destroyed, which makes the western expedition more difficult.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the explosive bear brigade are all native Indians. Although the road is hard to walk, they are not difficult to overcome.
But the March will naturally be much slower.
On this day, he just led the first regiment of 700 soldiers to wipe out the stone bear of a small tribe of chekasha, and received a message from the carrier pigeon from okron fort.
That's two good news. The first good news is that four inland river armed transport ships from gaoshu tribe, with a large amount of materials, finally arrived at okron fortress after six days of sailing. The reconstruction work of okron fortress, which was razed to the ground inside, began.
The second good news is that the gaoshu tribe has two more French river transport vessels.
This second news is purely an accident.
It turned out that on the third day after the four armed transport ships carrying materials from the gaoshu tribe arrived at Fort okron, two inland river armed transport ships full of various materials finally arrived at Fort okron from New Orleans after nearly half a month's voyage.
Both ships set out from New Orleans. One ship's destination was fortress okron, and the other ship's destination was Fort Louis military fortress in the upper reaches of the Russian River.
Although it has been four years since the end of the seven-year war, the French colonists on both sides of the river did not easily give up their territory because of the defeat of France, and the British did not have the strength to take over such a large area of Louisiana at this time, so these French colonists living on both sides of the river still live very well.
Because of the strength of Britain, France and Spain have now united. New Orleans was secretly given to the Spanish by the French. Therefore, all kinds of materials needed by French colonists living on both sides of the Mihe River can still be continuously transported to various military fortresses and settlements along the Mihe River and its tributaries through new Orleans.
These two inland river armed transport ships at Fort okron are specialized in transporting materials. Moreover, after sailing on the Mihe river for such a long time and arriving at the safe fortress of okron, the transport ship preparing to go to the fort Louis military fortress will naturally rest.
Louisville has not yet been established, but it has long been occupied by the French. The French built a large military fortress here, named after Louis XV, the king of France today. Well, in another 20 years, this Louis fort will be renamed Louis Ville, which is named after Louis XVI, the grandson of Louis XV
In any case, Fort Louis is the largest military fortress built by the French on the Russian River. Its strategic position is extremely important, so it needs a lot of materials.
This ship was used to deliver supplies to Fort Louis.
Because the wall was not damaged when the first squadron of the explosive bear brigade bombed okron fortress, the two ships did not find anything unusual when they came to okron fortress. In addition, there are four empty armed transport ships on the dock, which are similar in size to their ships, and they are all French transport ships, so the soldiers on these two transport ships are even less wary.
After all, fortress okron is an important military fortress, located in the heart of French Louisiana. There are hundreds of French soldiers stationed here, as well as fortress artillery defense, so it is impossible for anyone to break through here.
So the unsuspecting crew got off the ship and followed their captain happily to go to Fort okron. As a result, as soon as they entered the gate, they were caught by the left behind soldiers of the first regiment.
Two transport ships full of all kinds of food and other materials became the bags of the left behind soldiers of the first regiment of explosive bear brigade.
Compared with the goods delivered by the gaoshu tribe arriving at Fort okron, these two French River armed transport ships are a real surprise.
Originally, the stone bear was short of ships. As a result, two ships were sent to the White House. What's wrong with this?
Compared with the materials on board, these two ships are undoubtedly much more important.
There were two more ships for no reason. As soon as the stone bear was happy, the soldiers of the 700 first regiment got a day's rest. Of course, this day is mainly used to exchange information with the left behind soldiers of Fort okron. The stone bear wants to tell them how to deal with the French and how to block the news that Fort okron has been occupied.
Since two ships have been sent to the door in vain, it is enough to show that neither the French nor the Spanish know that Fort okron has been occupied by themselves.
So can we take advantage of this and use a few more boats?
As long as the news of the occupation of Fortress okron is not spread, and no one, especially the French and Spanish, knows about it, then as long as the transport ships are on the Russian River, they will surely dock at fortress okron
This kind of good opportunity can really seize, otherwise after this village can not really this shop.
The first regiment left behind at Fort okron was led by Dashan. This mountain is the mountain of Xiaohe tribe. A powerful Archer was once a member of the expedition team. He followed the stone bear to fight Yuchi people.
Later, the expeditionary army conquered the Cree, so the soldiers who had stayed in the Xiaohe tribe also returned to the gaoshu tribe, and Dashan naturally became a member of the legitimate army.
Now Dashan is a battalion commander of the first regiment of the explosive bear brigade, with about 300 people in his hands. If we stay at Fort okron this time, Kuaima will let Dashan's battalion stay.
Dashan is a good fighter in war, but if you let him play with his heart, he is far from it.
So how to fool the French or the Spanish, but also the stone bear hand in hand to teach him.
Fortunately, the direct distance between the first regiment and okron fortress is only 100 kilometers. With the flying speed of carrier pigeons, the message can be delivered in more than an hour.
It took a day for the stone bear to tell Dashan. When the first regiment started the next day, another good news came through the carrier pigeon.
The Royal Court of the chekasa was uprooted by the West army!
