1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 152 [Gun hidden in the crotch]

Just a few hours before Da Er left for East Valley City, several white people visited his wild duck clan, headed by a man with a bald head and a beard.

Big Ear came out to greet him, and said respectfully in his unproficient English: "Hello, Mr. Latin."

The bearded man immediately corrected: "It's not Latin, it's Reading, Pearson Reading."

Big Ear hurriedly apologized: "Yes, Mr. Pearson Reading."

In fact, his pronunciation is still not standard, Redding is too lazy to continue to correct: "Fort Sutter needs to build a few new houses, let your people come with me... Mr. Sutter likes you very much, this time you can get more money every day Five ounces of bread or flour."

One ounce is about 28 grams, and five ounces is 140 grams.

An extra 140 grams of flour is rounded up to an extra meal. If you are from the previous wild duck clan, you will probably be overjoyed.

However, after working for East Valley City for a period of time, they naturally only had disdain and resentment in their hearts for the suppression of Fort Sutter.

Although he felt disdainful in his heart, Big Ear still had to put on a polite smile: "Okay, okay, we will definitely go, but..."

"But what?"

Da Er said cautiously: "But can you allow two more days, and we will go to Fort Sutter the day after tomorrow?"

Redding frowned slightly: "What?"

Da Er explained: "Many of my clan members are doing business in a clan in the south. They are coming back soon, but they haven't come back yet. There is no manpower for a while."

Lei Ding looked around the Wild Duck Clan: "I see that there are quite a few of you, can't twenty people come?"

Da Er said: "The clan must keep some guards. If twenty people are sent to Fort Sutter, there will only be women and children left here."

After a pause, he continued: "Only two days, at most two days. Mr. Redding, in two days, or tomorrow, I will definitely take twenty skilled builders to Fort Sutter."

Redding nodded: "Okay, don't forget, I'll go back first."

Da Er smiled happily, and thanked again and again: "Thank you very much, generous Mr. Redding."

Pierson Redding flirted with a young girl casually, and then led them away from the Wild Duck Clan.

After Lei Ding left, Da Er immediately called several clansmen: "Let's go, go to Donggu City immediately and inform Chief Horse Whistle!"

A few people hurried on and came to the town hall of East Valley City that afternoon: "Major Chief Horse Whistle, I think we can act now!"

Horse Whistle looked at the panting people: "Fort Sutter asked you to go to work?"

Big Ear nodded: "Yes, and I went into Fort Sutter to repair the house, the day after tomorrow."

"Very good." The horse whistle immediately called Du Tiao, and ordered, "Du Tiao, you choose twenty of the bravest soldiers, let them dress up as members of the Wild Duck clan, and then follow Da Er into Fort Sutter, Then seize the tower and the gate when the time comes."

"Yes!" Du Wang excitedly replied.

At this time, there were about twenty Maidu people working in East Valley City, so the Apache soldiers only needed to borrow a suit of clothes from them.

But the members of the Mallard Clan don't wear shirts, which makes them feel a little troubled.

"Centurion, they have no coats, where should we hide our guns?" asked the soldier.

"Of course it's in the crotch!" Du Tiao hid the Browning pistol in the crotch without hesitation.

The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay: "This...what if the fire escapes?"

Du Wang looked at the soldier who spoke: "Didn't you say before that you are not afraid of death?"

"This seems more terrifying than death..."

Du Wang interrupted him: "Don't talk nonsense, hide your guns in your crotches immediately, it's up to us to liberate Fort Sutter!"

"Yes." The soldiers obeyed the order, and carefully hid the pistols in their crotches and fixed them with ropes.

In terms of attire, the twenty Apache soldiers could easily be dressed like the Wild Duck Clan, but the temperament of the two was quite different.

The Apache soldiers are professional elite soldiers with firm eyes and full of fighting spirit, completely different from the Maidu people who have been oppressed by Fort Sutter for a long time.

At least from the eyes of the Apache or the Maidu, the two groups of people can be distinguished almost at a glance.

The vertical wolf couldn't help but said with some doubts: "There is still a difference, will it be discovered by white people?"

Da Er laughed and said, "Caucasians will definitely not be able to tell the difference. They see us with the same face. We see them as well."

"Okay." The vertical wolf thought for a while, and found that he was indeed a little face-blind when seeing white people.

Taking advantage of the last time before departure, the Apache soldiers practiced a few words of Maidu language they had just learned, and learned more about the situation of Fort Sutter to make full preparations.

The soldiers rested early, and in the middle of the night, the horse post led more than 80 people to set off from Donggu City.

Among the more than 80 people, there were several authentic Maidu people including Da Er, [-] Apache soldiers, and [-] Apache soldiers dressed as Maidu people.

The distance between Fort Sutter and East Valley City is not too far. They crossed a river. They approached Fort Sutter early in the morning. They hid behind a dirt slope and observed Fort Sutter ahead with binoculars.

"Du Wang, after you sneak into Sutter's Fort, first capture the tower, and then capture the east gate or south gate. Then I will attack from the outside and control the whole fort from the inside and the outside." The horse sentry put down the binoculars.

Du Wang nodded: "Understood."

"Okay, let's act." The horse whistle patted his nervous big ears, and said with a smile, "Relax, as long as you can enter the fort, those amateur white soldiers are no match for us."

"Amateur?" Big Ear didn't quite understand the concept.

Du Wang said: "We are truly professional soldiers. Look at those guys carrying guns in Fort Sutter. It's already six o'clock, and there is no sign of training yet."

"Okay." Da Er took a deep breath and collected himself.

"Soldiers, secure your pistols." Du Wang reminded, and then said, "Let's go."

A few Maidu people from Daer walked in front, and twenty Apache soldiers in disguise followed behind. After a while, they arrived near Fort Sutter, only about [-] meters away from the city gate.

"Wait." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the side, making everyone a little nervous.

Especially Da Er, he had no such experience, not even the experience of fighting with people, so his face turned pale immediately, and he turned his head slowly.

Immediately he breathed a sigh of relief, it was not the soldiers or managers of Fort Sutter who spoke, but a shop owner, and he still knew him.

The shop owner looks quite young, probably under 30 years old, with a medium build and a beard: "Big ears, right?"
