Chapter 276 (1/2)

In the next two days, although the expedition team speeded up as soon as possible, the mount that was originally used to increase mobility became their burden.

There's no way. Since you want to go over Dawu Mountain and get revenge from Yuchi people, it's very necessary to be mobile in battle. In fact, these mounts did play a great role in the battle. Whether it's attack or evacuation, with these mounts, the expeditionary team has a huge advantage in the battle.

But when these mounts enter the mountain area, they become a burden. But other people except the stone bear are very precious to these precious mounts, so no one is willing to abandon even one mount even if they are greatly involved.

The result is that even though the expedition team has tried its best to speed up, they are still delayed by fragmented Yuchi people in the next two days.

”Stone, it can't go on like this. The number of injured brothers in our team has increased to 12. Although it's not a serious injury, if it continues like this, things will not be good. Obviously, Yu Chi people are determined to leave us. We have to find a way Just after driving away more than a dozen harassed Yu Chi people, Gao Niu's face is dignified and says what he thinks about Shi Xiong.

Stone bear said with a bitter smile: ”uncle, of course I understand this matter, but...” stone Bear looked at the horses who seemed not to know the danger and were still eating the grass on the ground, and shook his head again helplessly.

”Don't even think about it! These mounts must not be left behind. They are the most precious treasure of the tribe. ” Gao Niu immediately understood the meaning of the stone bear and wanted to abandon the idea of taming the bison which was slow. Stone bear had already mentioned it to Gao Niu and Bigfoot before, but they were strongly opposed by them. Even Dashan and Tomahawk were determined to keep these mounts.

”OK...” stone bear grinned bitterly and raised his hands to make a surrender. Then he took out a thick piece of kraft paper from his waist pocket, which drew some routes before they came.

After staring at the road map, which is too simple for others to recognize, Shi Xiong finally points his index finger to a point on the map and says, ”uncle, if we want to evacuate safely, we must find a place where we can fight with these Yuchi people. A place where our weapons can be used to our advantage. ”

Big foot also came over, and there was a two inch long wound on his forehead. Yesterday evening, when a group of Yuchi people attacked, his forehead was wiped by a liuya. As a result, there was such a wound on his forehead.

”Guardian, I remember before I came here, you said in a place that if you build a dam under this place, it will form a lake here. I don't know what you mean by dam, but I think the place you said is not bad, at least the terrain is much flatter.”

Stone bear said with a smile: ”Uncle foot, the place you said is the place I mean.”

On the way here, when the expedition team was camping, the camping place they chose was just next to Burton lake. Later generations of Americans built several dams on the upper reaches of the Tagalog River, forming several reservoirs, the most upstream of which is called Burton lake.

But at this time, without a dam, there would be no Burton lake.

However, the formation of a huge artificial reservoir in this area proves that the terrain in this area is much flatter, at least in the area covered by Burton lake, the terrain is much better than the surrounding high mountains and valleys.

The most important thing is that the tagalu river has formed several continuous bends at this position. Because of the slowing down of the terrain, the water potential at the bottom of these bends has become quite flat, and the depth of the river has also become very shallow. It is very easy to cross the tagalu River by riding.

In other words, no matter how they go, they have to choose this place to cross the river if they want to return the same way.
