The wooden house where Oishi lived was well preserved, at least not seen any damage. But when he walked closer along the way, Shi Xiong realized that the loss suffered by the Appalu tribe was far more serious than just imagined.

　　

　　 More than 70% of the houses of the entire Appalu tribe were damaged. Almost all the outer houses of the tribe were burned down, and most of the houses inside were smoky. Obviously, the enemy's sneak attacks are mainly rockets.

　　

　　 At this time, all the Indians living in houses, except for the Inuit in the north, almost all built houses with wood. Well, those Indians living in animal hide tents don't count. There is still a big difference between a tent and a house.

　　

　　 The wooden house is indeed relatively simple to build. Dozens of logs are smashed into the ground, covered with thatch mixed with yellow mud, and then covered with a few layers of leaves, and a house is built. Of course, for a slightly more particular wooden house, the roof is also constructed of logs, and then covered with rain-proof thatch and leaves. Such houses are usually occupied by big figures in the tribe.

　　

　　 The construction of such a wooden house consumes less time and is simple, but it is not fireproof. Once it catches fire, it is almost impossible to save.

　　

Along the way, Shixiong found that there seemed to be fewer people in the Appalu tribe. Almost everyone’s face was very angry. They just nodded slightly even if they said hello to Shixiong’s arrival. , Which is completely different from the previous warm welcome scene.

　　

He followed Dashi into the wooden house where he lived. After the two of them sat down, Dashi sighed and said: "Guardian, our tribe has suffered a very serious loss this time. Those damned sneak attackers took advantage of the darkness. Our tribe then fired rockets at our tribe. Several tribesmen were burned to death inside the house."

　　

　　 "How could this happen? Didn't you notice when the Chekasha crossed the river?" Shixiong asked puzzledly.

　　

　　 The Little Tennessee River to the west of the Appalu tribe is the natural barrier of this tribe. It is not so easy for the Chekashas in the west to cross the Little Tennessee River unconsciously.

　　

　　 The reason why this river was named "Little Tennessee River" is because this river is the largest tributary of the Tennessee River. It can 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 build five at one go on this river that is only more than 100 kilometers long. The purpose of this dam is to control this manic river.

　　

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

　　

If you want to cross the river safely, or you are very familiar with the large swamp area downstream of the river, and you can find a safe road in that swamp like a local tribe, or you have to go around. The road, along Henan, finally enters the depths of the Great Smoky Mountains, and crosses the river through the wooden bridge at the narrowest place.

　　

　　 If there weren't the kind of sailboats built by the Wasichus, the local aborigines would want to cross the river by that kind of canoe. It is almost impossible in this era that the turbulent currents can directly overturn the canoe.

　　

　　 It is obviously impossible to cross the river in the swamps downstream. He is not the bravest and most experienced hunter in the area, and he dared not enter the swamp. When Stone Bear went hunting to the west alone and met Baiyun, he found the best local guide to lead the way through the swamp.

　　

　　Of course, the best local guides are Cherokee, and they can't lead the Chekasha.

　　

　　 As for the wooden bridge deep in the mountains to the south, it was erected by the Appalu tribe itself, and the tribe has dedicated personnel there to guard it every day.

　　

　　 Therefore, it is impossible for the Chekasha to cross the Little Tennessee River without knowing it.

　　

Dashi smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "It's not the Chekashas, ​​but the Yuchi people who were driven away by us! The **** guys climbed the Great Smoky Mountain along the river valley, and then quietly touched our tribe and attacked Fortunately, there are fewer people from them. Our tribe has been lucky enough to survive. If there are more people from them, our tribe will probably have to go with you."

　　

　　 When Dashi said this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, his voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Shi Xiong with some anxiety.

　　

　　 Shixiong shook his head and waved his hand and said, "Uncle, our Longhair Cattle Tribe has been out of existence for almost a year. I'm fine."

　　

　　 Dashi and Shixiong can talk very well, so Dashi has heard about the Shaggy Cattle Tribe from the mouth of a stone bear.

　　

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

　　

As early as after the Cherokee moved south to Monongahela, the Cherokee with a large population began to wage war with the aboriginal people who originally lived in this area. They first drove away the most powerful people in this area at the time. The Powatans, and then drove the Chekasha and Yuchi away in the process of expanding south.

　　

　　 The Chekashas, ​​fortunately, said that they migrated westward, relying on this large horrible swamp in central Tennessee as a barrier to prevent the Cherokees from expanding westward. But Yu Chi is miserable.

　　

As a branch of the Kerry people, the Yu Chi people originally lived in the northwest **** of the Blue Ridge in the south. As a result, the Cherokee came and drove the Yu Chi people away unreasonably, and then occupied this relatively flat and property. Rich area.

　　

　　 The small-populated Yuchi couldn't compete with the mighty Cherokee. They had to climb south across the Southern Blue Ridge, the Great Smoky Mountains, and went to the south of the Great Smoky Mountains to live. At this time, there was no such two names as Blue Ridge or Great Smoky Mountain. At this time, this large mountain range was called Blue Mist in the Cherokee's mouth.

　　

　　The area where the Yuchi lives is in the southern foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. If marked with the geographic coordinates of later generations, it is about this long and narrow area between Charlotte and Atlanta.

　　

　　 But after being driven away, Yu Chiren has been very honest. Not to mention the increasingly powerful Cherokees, even the Chekashas did not dare to provoke them. They have been like this for more than two hundred years, but why this time the Yuchi dared to climb the Smoky Mountains so boldly. How about entering the territory of the Cherokee?

　　

We must know that although the Great Smoky Mountains are the highest average elevation in the entire Appalachian Mountains~lightnovelpub.net~, the Great Smoky Mountains can only effectively block large groups of troops. After all, the mountains are high and deep. It is not suitable for large-scale troop operations.

　　

　　 But the small units are different. There are many rivers in the Great Smoky Mountains, and every river has a valley. Just like the Little Tennessee River, walk along the Little Tennessee River all the way upstream. When you reach the end and turn over a mountain, you can find another river, which is the source of the famous Savannah River.

　　

　　 As long as the Yu Chi people are willing, they can sneak to their former hometown along the river valley.

　　

　　Unfortunately, the Appalu tribe was attacked by such a small group of Yuchi who sneaked up the Dawu Mountain along the river valley.

　　

　　 The Cherokee people drove the Yuchi away from the land where they lived for thousands of years. The two tribes are almost endless feuds, and it is only natural for them to attack.

　　

　　 Just how dare these guys be so bold? Do they really think that the Cherokee is dead?
