Chapter 232 (1/2)

Dashi's wooden house is well preserved, at least there is no damage. However, looking closer along the way, the stone bear realized that the loss suffered by the apalu tribe was far more serious than just imagined.

More than 70% of the houses of the whole apalu tribe have been damaged. Almost all the houses on the outside of the tribe have been burned, and most of the houses inside are smoky and burning. Obviously, the enemy's sneak attacks were mainly rocket attacks.

At this time, all the Indians living in houses, except the northernmost Inuit, almost all built houses with wood. Well, the Indians who live in animal skin tents don't count. There's a big difference between a tent and a house.

It's really easy to build a wooden house. Dozens of logs are smashed into the ground, covered with thatch mixed with yellow mud, and then covered with a few layers of leaves. A house is built. Of course, the roof of a slightly more particular wooden house is also made of logs and covered with rain proof thatch and leaves. Such houses are usually inhabited by big people in the tribe.

This kind of wooden house consumes less time and is easy to build, but it is not fireproof. Once there is a fire, it is almost hopeless.

Along the way, the stone bear found that the number of people in the appalu tribe seemed to be a little less, and almost everyone's face was very angry. For the arrival of the stone bear, they just nodded slightly, even if they had said hello, which was quite different from the previous warm welcome scene.

He followed Dashi into the wooden house where he lived. After two people sat down, Dashi sighed and said, ”guardian, our tribe has suffered serious losses this time. Those damned Raiders touched our tribe in the dark, and then fired rockets at our tribe. Several people were burned in the house.”

”How could that be? Didn't you notice when the chekasa crossed the river? ” Stone bear very puzzled asked.

The little Tennessee River to the west of the apalu tribe is the natural barrier of the tribe. It is not so easy for the chekasa people in the west to cross the little Tennessee River unconsciously.

The reason why this river was called ”little Tennessee River” in later generations is that it is the largest tributary of Tennessee River. To 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 have built five dams on this river, which is only over 100 kilometers long, in order to control this manic river.

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

If you want to cross the river safely, you will be very familiar with the marsh area at the lower reaches of the river and be able to find a safe road in the marsh like the people of the local tribes. Otherwise, you will have to make a detour along Henan and finally enter the deep part of Dawu Mountain, and cross the river through the wooden bridge in the narrowest place.

Without the windsurfing boats built by vasichus, it is almost impossible for local people to cross the river in that kind of canoe at this time - the rapid current can directly overturn the canoe.

It is obviously impossible to cross the river in the downstream swamp. It is not the bravest and most experienced local hunter who dare not enter the swamp. When the stone bear went hunting alone in the West and met Baiyun, he found the best local guide to lead the way through the swamp.

Of course, the best local guides are the Cherokees, and they can't lead the way for the chekasa.

As for the wooden bridge deep in the south mountain, it was built by the apalu tribe, and the tribe had special personnel to guard it every day.

Therefore, it is impossible for the chekasa people to cross the little Tennessee River without knowing it.
