Chapter 493

In the fall of 1768, Monongahela.

At this time, monongahila has completely changed. The cultivated land in the East and West has been completely cultivated at this time.

If you look up from the sky, the mature corn has turned the southern half of the Monongahela Valley into a golden carpet

And in the north half of the valley, that is, the north side of the river where the stone bear secretly sneaked into, it is still green. Hundreds of bison are leisurely eating the grass on the ground, seizing all the time to fatten up for the coming winter.

This year is another good harvest year. The summer harvest a few months ago and the autumn harvest in the near future will further fill the silos of the Cherokee people.

This autumn is also the last autumn for the king's tent in Monongahela. When the autumn harvest is over, the Cherokee King's tent is about to move away from here. Before winter comes, it will completely move to the west of the Mihe river.

At that time, the whole Monongahela will become a good field and pasture, where the people will be left to cultivate and protect this beautiful valley and plain.

"Look at you, are there any good news from bighorn sheep and Kuaima?" Red cloud asked Stone bear with a smile.

At this time, the two men were standing on the hillside of a mountain to the west of Monongahela, overlooking the valley of Monongahela, which is still green on one side and golden on the other. This beautiful scenery is refreshing.

"Well, the bighorn sheep just sent the news of the front line. Kuaima, they are making good progress. When I got the news, the officers of the first division were taking over the Arapaho territory. It is estimated that at this time, the whole alapaho territory has almost been taken over. "

"The first division is progressing so fast? I thought we had to wait until next year to bring down the arapahos. "

"Ha ha, the progress of the first division is really fast. I didn't expect that the two guys, black wolf and Kuaima, used hot air balloons to this extent. The angel of God... Tut Tut, I didn't expect to use the balloon as the angel of God at the beginning, but they even publicized the balloon as the angel of God. But it's really good to do so. At least the three tribes that the first division needs to fight are not dead. That's the key. "

Red cloud also laughed, "yes, when I first saw the balloon, I firmly believed that it was the messenger of the God! It's amazing that this kind of thing can actually fly in the sky when the gods are up. "

"Yes, I used to make the balloon for high-altitude reconnaissance and high-altitude bombing in the weather conducive to flight. I didn't expect that it looked so powerful in the eyes of other tribes."

After a pause, the stone bear drew back his gaze, looked at the red cloud around him and said, "but compared with the first division, the progress of the second division and the third division is not very satisfactory. Both Comanches and Apaches are far more powerful than osaqis. However, Comanches and uthern are old enemies. The second division and the third division now have a good relationship with uthern. If uthern can send troops to help the second division and the third division, the progress in the southwest direction will be much better. It's just

The stone bear sighed.

He thought about the difficulties in the southwest, but he didn't expect such difficulties.

It's not just the local tribes, it's the weather.

The Cherokee had long lived in the Great Lakes region, where the temperature was low. Later, although they moved south to the Appalachian Mountains, the temperature there was lower than that in the southwest, and both the Great Lakes region and the Appalachian Mountains belonged to the wetter region.

When the soldiers of the second and third divisions came to the southwest, the high temperature and drought made many soldiers unbearable. In the original historical time and space, the situation of British acclimatization during the war of independence soon appeared in the second and third divisions.

Even in order to avoid the hot summer, the second division and the third division had to retreat. But even so, the number of non combat casualties caused by acclimatization has reached a alarming number.

The two divisions add up to 16000, and the death toll caused by acclimatization alone is as high as 700, which is almost a 5% reduction!

You should know that since the establishment of the expeditionary army, the stormy bear army has never seen so many casualties. Even in the face of other tribes fighting, not so many people have died.

But this expedition to the Southwest has led to so many casualties among the soldiers. How can the stone bear not be distressed?

Compared with this kind of heartache, the stone bear's self blame is more severe.

Others don't know the difference of region, but how can a person whose soul comes from later generations not know how serious the difference of region is?

But he forgot that when he was thinking about Expediting to the southwest

Therefore, the more than 700 dead soldiers died not so much in the hands of the weather as in the negligence of the stone bear.

Although at the time when the plan for the western expedition was first formulated, the stone bear gave the stormy bear army two to two and a half years to conquer that large area of land, it is still very early to that time, but this sudden reduction of personnel really distressed the stone bear.

Red cloud patted the stone bear on the shoulder and comforted him: "big bear, I remember a word you said very clearly. At that time, you said, as long as it's war, where can there be undead people? Now that's the case, and I hope you can accept that. "

As the high priest of the tribe, Hongyun has the right to know all the information on the front line. So she also knew that the southwest direction was not going well, and she also knew how heavy a burden it was for the chief that the dead 700 strong bear soldiers were.

"Big bear, if you can't, change the guard! The third division, which has suffered serious losses, should be transferred to the osaqis, Kiowa and arapahos. The first division over there has already been defeated, and jorakulu is busy taking over. We can let the third division cooperate with jorakulu on duty over there, while the first division goes to the southwest. Don't forget, the first division and our air force. Moreover, in the past six months, we have built another 12 hot air balloons. We can leave six for the third division, and the rest will go to the southwest. "

Stone bear silently nodded, this method he also considered.

After all, the winter in Southwest China is not the winter here. It's very warm there. In addition to the coldest January every year, it's a little bit colder in half a month. We can fight at any other time.

"Well, I'll call the officers of the general staff to discuss the plan later. If possible, send the first division now! And our air force! " The stone bear said in a loud voice.
