Chapter 430 (1/2)

Fortunately, four more inland river armed transport ships were captured two days ago, including the two captured before. Now there are ten ships moored on the Tennessee River outside Fort okron.

This kind of armed transport ship can carry not only things, but also people. A ship can pull about 100 people without horses.

It is very easy for the remaining 500 people to go back to the gaoshu tribe in these 10 boats, after deducting 200 Rangers on horseback.

And the captured French sailors came in again. There are not many people in the tribe who can drive boats. They can only operate four inland river armed transport ships. The captured French sailors were able to sail the remaining six ships, which they had started.

From okron fortress to gaoshu tribe is sailing against the current. Although this kind of inland river armed transport ship is powered by sails, it can move forward against the wind, but after all, it is upstream, so the speed is not very fast.

Moreover, in this era, when we were sailing on inland rivers, we basically didn't sail at night. Inland navigation is different from sailing on the sea. You can still sail at night, but in this age, without lighting and GPS, you usually can't sail at night.

The channel is too narrow to see anything at night, so it is easy to run aground or even hit the rocks.

In fact, even in the daytime, if you do not pay attention to or are not familiar with the channel, it is also very easy to have an accident.

The fleet under the command of Col. Felisa Fernand is an example. During the daytime voyage, because of the strong cross wind from the snowstorm, the fleet was blown to the rocks and sank.

Therefore, even if the northwest wind is blowing these two days, the speed of the fleet is still not very fast.

It took more than seven days for the fleet to reach the gaoshu tribe. This is because the stone bear tries to extend the sailing time of each day under the condition of ensuring safety, otherwise it will take more time.

When the stone bear's fleet arrived at the wharf in the west of gaoshu tribe, 200 Rangers arrived with dust, and the soldiers of the first regiment of 700 explosive bear brigade gathered together again.

The arrival of the fleet made the gaoshu tribe boiling. A large group of old, weak, sick and young people came out. After seeing the tall figure of the guardian, they all cried bitterly.

Although we haven't inquired about these people, the present situation has cooled stone bear's heart.

Obviously, what the news said is true. Now there are only some old and weak, sick and young people left in the tribe. All the stronger people, including women, have been taken away by the people of the royal court.

The grey moose came over with a dead face. Although he didn't cry, he seemed to be twenty years old. He was not young at all. At this time, his face was full of wrinkles and his hair was white.

”Uncle grey moose, what happened in the tribe? Is it really the army from Wang Ting who has captured all the people of our tribe? ” At this time, the stone bear did not care about the greetings. He grabbed the slightly thin shoulders of the grey moose in his hands and asked anxiously.

The gray moose's old face showed a look of pain, and the stone bear realized that he didn't control his strength well.

Let go of the gray moose's shoulders, the gray moose looked at the big man in front of him bitterly, sighed deeply, and said: ”guardian, the army of Wang tinglai has captured all the people in our tribe, and now we are the only old, weak, sick and young people left in the tribe...” with tears streaming down the old man's face.
