Super Chief

Chapter 274: Chase and intercept

I thought that Yu Chiren had been completely frightened, but what Shi Xiong could not imagine was that their return journey was not so smooth.

On the night when the Yuchi King’s court was set on fire and five unscrupulous cannons were used to scare away Yuchi, Shixiong and the others encountered a small wave of Yuchi sneak attacks when they were camping.

There were not many Yu Chi people who came for the sneak attack. There were only more than 20 people, but because of surprise and Shi Xiong, they did not expect that Yu Chi people would even dare to follow the attack. As a result, four soldiers including Dashan were shot and injured by Yu Chi people.

Although the injury is not serious, it can be seen that Yu Chiren does not seem to have completely disintegrated his fighting spirit. They may have been shocked in the battle this morning, but after most of the adjustments, they adjusted quickly.

This sudden attack team had already proved that Yu Chiren had recovered.

The four of Dashan and the others were not the most serious after being shot. The most serious situation was that those Yu Chi who attacked unexpectedly ran away five or six. This was a little troublesome.

Obviously, the recovered Yu Chi didn't want to let Shi Xiong and the others go just like that, so Yu Chi should have sent a lot of teams into the Great Smoky Mountain, and then searched for Shi Xiong and their whereabouts.

After all, the chieftain who had just taken office was killed by these people, and even the king's court was burned by these people. No matter how you think about it, it is an endless vengeance. Of course, the recovered Yu Chi must swear to kill Shi Xiong and the others.

Compared with the Chekashas and Cherokees in the north of the Great Smoky Mountains, the Yuchi who have lived in the southern foot of the Great Smoky Mountains for hundreds of years are naturally more familiar with the conditions in this area. They are the natives here, and they are as familiar with the palms of their hands as every dirt road in every river valley in this area.

Although Shixiong and the others have their mounts, this is a mountainous area, and most of the places are walked by them with their mounts. The mounts are simply used to carry heavy animals in this terrain, and they can’t get up. To let Shixiong and the others speed up the marching speed.

Shixiong and their evacuation route, the Yu Chi people naturally do not know. Even if the Yu Chi people are natives here, there are so many river valleys in the Great Smoky Mountains. It is impossible for them to find the most accurate one among so many passable river valleys, so they can only take This way of casting a net widely to find the traces of the stone bears.

The Yu Chi people encountered on the first night of the evacuation should be the exploration team discharged by the Yu Chi people.

If Shi Xiong and the others can keep all these twenty-odd Yu Chi people, then even if Yu Chi people find out that this exploration team is missing, it will have to be a matter of days later. Taking advantage of this time, Shi Xiong and the others left long ago. Far.

But if these five or six people ran away, it meant that the Yu Chi troops who received the news would be surrounded by tomorrow at the latest.

Although I am not afraid of Yuchi's large forces, this is a mountainous area after all, and the advantages of Stone Bear and their mounts will be completely offset by the terrain. And in order to protect these precious war horses, Shi Xiong and the others could not throw away these war horses and move forward alone.

Therefore, since the emergence of the first group of Yu Chi who attacked, Shi Xiong thought this was a more difficult problem.

The facts quickly verified Shi Xiong's worries.

At noon on the second day after being attacked by the Yuchi, about a hundred Yuchi fighters blocked the stone bear and their way forward.

It is the midsummer season. These Yuchi warriors are almost completely naked, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, and their faces are painted with fancy patterns, which is no different from savages.

But the thing that these Yu Chi fighters are holding can really kill people.

Thus, a short and fierce encounter began.

This is the Great Smoky Mountain. Even if it is placed in later generations, it is absolutely high in the mountains and densely forested. In this era, it is the primeval forest.

Fighting in this type of terrain is very unfavorable for the Stone Bears. The thick trees with those few people hug are everywhere, which can reduce the power of the musket to a minimum. On the contrary, the expedition team in the middle of the valley became a bright target.

Fortunately, Yu Chiren’s bows and arrows are not so far away, and if they want to shoot the soldiers of the expedition team, they must enter the range of 70 meters, and within this range, the power of the Ferguson rifle can be maximized. .

However, Shixiong did not let the brothers use muskets to deal with these Yuchis. Fighting on this kind of terrain, muskets are inferior to bows and arrows.

Shi Xiong armed the soldiers of the expedition squad to the teeth, not to mention the guns. The range and power of the bows and arrows he specially made for the soldiers were not comparable to that of the bows and arrows in Yu Chiren's hands.

The range of bows and arrows used by the expedition team can reach a terrifying one hundred and fifty meters. Of course, this refers to the range that can be achieved by fighters like Da Shan who can fully draw the bow. Most fighters do not have the power to draw this strong bow. , So when they use their bows and arrows, their range is only about 120 meters.

But even so, the range of this strong bow is much greater than that of the bow and arrow in Yu Chiren's hand.

The most important thing is that the expedition team is equipped with a dedicated wooden shield!

The large wooden shield wrapped in iron that Shixiong equipped for the expedition team, once the shield wall is erected, let alone Yu Chiren's bow and arrow, even if they throw a bone spear at close range, they will not be able to break the defense.

Although the battle was fierce ~lightnovelpub.net~, it was actually a one-sided massacre.

With the shield wall as a cover, the expedition team came out with a few unlucky ones who were unfortunately shot by Yu Chiren's Liuzhi when they opened their bows and shot arrows, and no one else was hurt.

Even the warriors who were shot were too far away, and Yu Chiren’s bows and arrows were all bone arrows, so their power was limited, and the injuries were only skin injuries.

But the bow and arrow of the expedition team is different. The three-sided arrow made of steel, once it hits an enemy, even if it is wiped, it is a blood trap. If you shoot directly, you can shoot through a person directly at a distance of seventy meters.

Therefore, this short and fierce encounter eventually evolved into a one-sided massacre.

Especially on the expedition team, there is such a big killer as Shixiong. The big bow in his hand is like a precision-guided missile. As long as the Yu Chiren targeted by him will end up with only two, they will either be nailed to the trunk of the tree or to the ground.

In the end, the more than one hundred Yuchi people once again dropped more than fifty bodies, and the remaining more than forty people fled into the dense forest.

However, this encounter also awakened Shi Xiong completely. Under his command, the speed of the team's advancement accelerated a lot, and they only had a rest for about two hours that night, and they drove overnight.

Yesterday, there were about twenty people, but today it has become a hundred people. Obviously, Yu Chiren has figured out the evacuation route on his side, and Yu Chiren must try every means to chase and intercept. This is the home court of Yu Chiren. If more Yu Chiren are surrounded, the result is really hard to say.

Although Shixiong is 100% sure to take the brothers back, he does not want to show up a few corpses of the brothers in the expedition team...
