Super Chief

Chapter 403: Get off the horse

Shi Xiong has always been an activist, and since he decided to send feed to Jamestown, he started to pick up the food that afternoon.

The tribe’s bullock cart has been remodeled several times, and now an bullock cart can easily pull more than a thousand catties. However, feed takes up space, so a large cart is filled up to more than 700 kilograms.

But it doesn't matter, the tribe can make up more than two hundred bullock carts. Pull it once and it looks like more than 70 tons is close to 80 tons.

It is winter now, and the sky is freezing, especially the two rivers used as power sources are frozen, so in addition to the necessary coal and iron mining and steelmaking, Gaoshu tribe has basically stopped a lot of other work. A lot of ox carts used for transportation are vacated.

This time I went to Jamestown, Shi Xiong was going to send a battalion of more than 300 people out. The commander of this battalion is a fierce dog, that is, the young warrior of the Crooked Ear tribe who was going to give Shi Xiong a little bit of prestige, who is known for his brute force and ferocity. The entire battalion consists of more than one hundred veterans and two hundred new recruits.

The Bobcats also followed with a team of scouts, and by the way helped the fierce dog who had just been promoted to the battalion commander take control of the team.

Had it not been for the Bobcats to insist on not serving as middle and senior officers, the battalion would be led by the Bobcats.

As for the route, there is no need to worry about it.

It was this route that the expeditionary army took when they first expedition to the Kerry people. Now, as the Cherokee people continue to send troops to the Cree, and the Cree people are continuously transferred from the south to the north. The route that the expeditionary army marched during the first expedition to the Cree is now It has become a very mature route.

Many floating bridges have even been built across the river...

Therefore, there is no need to worry about this eastward route.

After three full days of loading and other work, the more than 200 bullock carts were filled. Then the team, which stretched for nearly three miles, set off slowly.

In this kind of weather, even if you hurriedly hurried, even if the road conditions were better, it would take at least twenty days.

And after these bullock carts come back, they have to run again. One trip is definitely not enough, two trips are enough. However, the more than two hundred cows just ate a lot of forage on the road. Therefore, for these five hundred war horses, the stone bears have paid a lot of money.

But this is really no way. Who will let God not show your face?

If these heavy snows were not followed, it is estimated that the five hundred horses would have been sent here long ago...

After finishing all these things, Shi Xiong remembered that there were still a group of Spaniards on the side of Xiaoyanshan waiting for him to deal with it.

So, five days after being arrested, Major Felisa, who still had a bruise on his face that made people feel scared, finally saw the big head again.

For this big man, Felisa and his men had an inexplicable mood at this time. Say grateful to this guy, they are really grateful, after all, they saved them, this is an undeniable fact.

But in the same way, they also have hatred in their hearts!

Nothing else, although they were saved by these natives, it was really hard for them to live these five days. Especially Felisa, as an aristocrat with a good background, where did he suffer such a crime?

On the way, the fleet hit a rock and sank. They had no choice but to start crossing the wasteland under the leadership of the indigenous guide, and they almost froze to death. Even now, the frostbite on their faces, hands, and feet is very itchy every night, making life worse than death.

On the first day of coming to the tribe, Felisa's nose was smashed by a gun butt, leaving a shocking bluish purple on her face.

What's even more unfortunate is that for the past five days, except for the indigenous soldiers who guarded them, they have not paid any attention at all. Although I can eat enough every day, and there is a fire at night, it won't be cold, but mining the blue and white "stones" on this small hill every day is not human work.

It's really uncomfortable to hold a cold iron drill and pick in such a cold day.

After five days, even the Spanish soldiers who wanted to escape most did not dare to mention it again. Every day's work will exhaust their last bit of strength, and the severe cold seems to have no meaning to subside at all. Even if they are let go, they dare not leave the tribe at the risk of being frozen to death again.

These people have all experienced the journey that almost froze to death, let them go through it again, they will never try.

Mining these bluish white stones here is hard work, but at any rate you can still eat and drink every day, and you don’t have to worry about being frozen to death. It’s better than being frozen to death in the wilderness, and then the corpse is turned green by the hungry eyes of wild wolves. The end of eating.

It is not that these Spanish soldiers did not try to communicate with the native soldiers who watched them, but one of them was language barrier, and the other would not pay attention to them at all. So these days, these Spaniards have really been smashed.

Now the big head who was obviously the leader appeared again, even if this guy was more terrifying than the devil, but almost all the Spaniards were slightly relieved.

Don’t say anything else, at least this guy understands English and can communicate...

Felisa originally wanted to come forward and talk to the big man, but as soon as he moved, he caught a glimpse of the **** of the rifle in the hands of an indigenous soldier guarding them...

Felisa was immediately stunned, the injury on his face was not healed, he didn't want to get another butt.

Fortunately, after the big man came, he immediately called Major Felisa out.

"Let's talk~lightnovelpub.net~ What is your purpose in coming to our Gaoshu tribe? I want to be honest!"

The cold words of the big head immediately reminded Felisa of the words that Lieutenant Mendoza said that night. Coupled with the torture of the past few days, Felisa didn't mean to lie at all. Want to get out of this **** ghost place quickly.

"Dear leader, we really want to exchange with you the method of making a powerful weapon that can explode. For this, we can pay any price..." Felisa pours beans in a bamboo tube. Everything he knew was said.

Compared to his own fate, those weapons are nothing. Besides, he really came this time with the idea of ​​using a transaction to obtain that kind of weapon production method. It's a pity that all the food pulled on the four boats sank into the river along with the four boats.

During Felisa's recounting process, Shi Xiong kept staring at his eyes. After Felisa finished speaking, Shi Xiong was sure that this guy did not lie.

It seems that these five days of dismissal have completely destroyed their psychological defense...
