Chapter 301 New Town
Bighorn River, by the pontoon bridge.

A thin man in a Heard robe stared at the toe of his boots and said intermittently to the other group of men in ragged clothes: "The King of Khan praised us...you did a good job, and you will be given felt tents after you leave the army. , cattle and sheep... and female slaves..."

Obviously rewarded, why are the men so miserable?

They had no joy or pride. Most of them had only numbness in their eyes, and a few of them had anger and unwillingness written on their faces.

Another thin, masked man tore off his scarf and spat fiercely.

The sound of spit was not loud, but the thin man in Heard's robe seemed to be stung by a wasp.

He suddenly lifted the head, glanced at the people in front of him, and shouted hysterically: "You have the guts to run away! You don't do it! What are you complaining about? What do you hate? You take me for a Hurd. Dog, who the hell cares about me! You..."

The masked man who ripped off the scarf walked out of the crowd, walked straight to the man in Heard's robe, and said coldly, "Enough is enough. ."

Everyone who looked directly into the masked man's face was deeply shocked.

Because what should have been the masked man's nose, there was only a horrible scar and two holes for air leakage.

A closer look reveals that there should be no ears in the masked man's hair.

The masked man does not have the Innate defect, his nose and ears are cut off.

The Hurds don't chop their hands or their ankles—they keep them for work. Therefore, for the escaped slaves, they will cut off an organ that does not hinder their work, or they will be branded, until the death penalty.

The thin man in Heard's robe did not dare to look at the masked man. The man wrapped his scarf again, his eyes dimmed: "I'm no longer your captain."

A pontoon bridge spans both sides of the wide Dajiao River.

The moat turned into a thoroughfare. Hundreds of Armored Soldiers and war horses were entering Iron Peak County through the pontoon bridge. There were shouts and scoldings of Hede everywhere. Only this small group of people said is a common language with a Platonic accent.

Some of the men in ragged clothes suddenly knelt down and cried, crying so sadly, so sadly.

Why is he crying?
Is it because you have already returned to your homeland, but you can't go home?
Or is it because he built the pontoon himself?

 …

The beacon smoke has not yet reached the Oxhoof Valley, and the riders seeking help are still galloping, but Winters has learned of the existence of the pontoon from Tai Chi's mouth.

Technology proliferation is one of the side effects of war.

At the Battle of Great Wasteland, many artisans and officers of the Palatine Expeditionary Force were captured, and the Teltown Department thus mastered the use of prefabricated parts to erect pontoon bridges and even more proven techniques.

The perpetual banging of the night, and Winters now finally understands what it's doing—preparing for the pontoon construction.

Winters' bargaining chip was a multiple-choice question: Tai Chi could choose to believe that the head belonged to the Burner, or not.

If Tai Chi doesn't believe that the fire roaster is dead, then Winters will kill Tai Chi first anyway, and then turn around to deal with the fire roaster;
Or...Tai Chi chooses to believe the fire roaster's death, By laying down their weapons and surrendering, Winters was given time, while Tae-chi and his men survived.

Choose one of the two, Tai Chi chose himself without hesitation.

The premise of negotiation is trust. Does Tai Chi trust Winters? I'm afraid not. The same goes for Winters.

But when drowning, even the rope thrown by the enemy can only be held tightly.

Since he was determined to turn his back on the fire roaster, Tai Chi was about to tell the fire roaster's plan and the whole story, and his decisive attitude surprised Winters.

Telltown was short of forage, making it difficult for the horses to travel long distances.

So from the very beginning, the fire roaster only sent part of the main force to detour, and his direct subordinates retreated to the grassland that was not burned to wait for the fighter plane.

Perhaps the existence of fleet disrupted the fire roaster's "squeeze", or perhaps the fire roaster had a darker mind.

When Tai Chi led the troops to the east bank of the Bighorn River and restrained all Winters' troops, the elites of the fire roaster did not appear.

Where is the fire roaster? Tai Chi already not in. Winters could roughly guess, but he had to pacify Tai Chi's remnants before he could get his hands on the Burners.

Five high-fives, Winters walks alone with Taich into the camp of the Tordun remnants.

Tai Chi held the Khan's symbol - the azure nine ponytails and the fire roaster's head, announcing the fire roaster's death to the people of Teltown.

The head is fake, but the big bang is real.

Khan Raj was originally left as a suspect in the West Bank camp by the fire-boilers. In the Battle of the Second Crossing of the Bighorn River, the west bank camp of Teltown was broken by Winters, and the quiver guards who guarded the big horn fled with the flag.

Winters chased the quiver for fifty miles and finally captured the dagger from beneath a corpse.

With the recognition of Genuine's azure nine ponytails and Tai Chi, the fake head has also become a real head.

The Terdun passively accepted the news that the fire roaster was dead. They had been beaten repeatedly to the point of losing their fighting intent, their greed for looting dissipated, and only the instinct to survive was left.

Winters, as "Hestas", swore an oath with Tai Chi in public, promising not to harm anyone who surrendered.

The ceremony of surrender was simple, Winters himself sat in Camp Teltown, and one by one the Teltowners walked out of the camp, leaving weapons, armor and warhorses in front of his flag and taking a loaf of bread.

The prisoners were escorted to the south bank of the Pantuo River - there are no extra staff to guard them today.

Winters gave Tai Chi 100 horses and 50 bows, and still let Tai Chi restrain his followers.

After doing these things, Winters convened all of his commanders, village chiefs, town chiefs, and representatives of the squires.

There was absolute silence in the tent, the air was as cold as an ice cellar, and everyone who walked into the tent beamingly noticed the strange atmosphere.

Cries of cheers came into the tent - the surviving Iron Peaks were celebrating their victory.

Amid a series of inquiring glances, Winters calmly told everyone: "The battle has not been won yet, and the elites of the Sweat Horde of the Terden Division may be attacking Revordan."

...

Gevodan, another dull day.

The last few issues of "War Newsletter" have not been sent back. Although people are eager to know the latest war situation, they still have to live their lives.

Compared with the news of the Pangtuo River, the police situation on the north bank is more concerned by the public.

It is said that a small group of barbarian cavalry slipped into Beiba Town and was burning, killing and looting in rural areas.

Gevodan has been under martial law, citizens are in a panic, and the price of flour has begun to rise again.

On the contrary, the farmers and townspeople who have fled to Revodan have long been somewhat numb to this kind of news. They work hard for bread, and the rise in flour prices has nothing to do with them.

The city wall of the new city has been basically completed, but the refugees can't sit still for a moment.

According to the plan of Mason Tribunal, the labor teams began to build convex forts on the periphery of the new city, and arranged sewer lines, laid roads, and built houses inside the new city.

It was originally a "new city" like a large military camp, but it really has some urban fireworks.

The new city is like a big construction site, and among the refugees who are working hard is a very unremarkable one-eared man.

The one-eared man speaks very little, so that many times people think he is mute. But he works hard, so it doesn't matter if he is dumb or not.

When the bread was being distributed at noon that day, the one-eared man met another man and had a few words.

That night, Ivan, who was promoted to interim sheriff, hurried to the officer's quarters, carefully woke up Mason's tribune, and reported worriedly: "Sir, someone is missing again!"

At this moment, the one ear that Ivan spoke of had arrived at Forge Township, twenty kilometers away.

He wasn't called One Ear either, he used to be called [Iles], and perhaps some Vignes remember this little-known gangster and smuggler.

"Ilce the Thief" was wanted for robbing military vehicles, and eventually he fled into wasteland, where he disappeared. But his family were all sat down.

Now, he is more often given the Hedschian name [Bruhe], which means red dog.

The red dog is one-knee kneels, staring at the toe of the boot, and is narrating the details of the new city of Gervoudin: "...the leader stationed in Gervodin is named 'Mason'..."

Standing in front of him was not someone else, but the fire roaster and the old interpreter.

"Mason?" The fire roaster interrupted the red dog: "What do you mean?"

The red dog racked his brains to explain: "It means the masons and builders who play with stones to build houses. ."

"What? He's a mason?" asked the fire roaster.

"The name of the two-legged man is different from that of the various tribes, and has lost its specific meaning." Lao Tongyi opened his eyes, opened the mouth and said slowly: "You continue to say, choose the key - first Talk about city defense."

The red dog picked up a branch and sketched on the ground: "There used to be no city on the south bank of Gervoudan, but now this city was newly built by the head of the mason, with all the people, animals, goods, and food available. Keep it inside."

"How many people? How much money?" The fire roaster's pupils slightly expanded.

"There are thousands of people, both male and female. They fled to Xincheng, and they all took the Qian Family with them. And there is a lot of food, and the food brought from neighboring counties is stored in the south bank.

Xincheng, supply the people of Xincheng, and also moved towards the south."

"How high is the city wall?"

"Not high, very short, only one and a half high." The red dog pointed at the connection between the city wall and the river with a branch: "And there is a weak point, right here."

"Weak point?" The fire roaster stared.

The red dog said as if offering advice: "The head mason leaned against the river bank and only built a half-circle of the city wall. moved towards the side of the river, there are no high walls and no trenches, I guess...you can wade across. "

"The sky is so cold, how can I get into the water?" The old interpreter immediately scolded in a deep voice, and asked, "How many people are guarding the city?"

"There is no guard." Army, the defenders of the city have all gone to the south." The red dog shook his head vigorously, suddenly raised his eyes, looked towards the fire-boiler, and quickly lowered his head: "Khan can quickly advance, while the defenders can't react in time, attack in one fell swoop. ."

There was a trace of dissatisfaction in the old interpreter's eyes, but he remained calm.

"Did they find you?" the fire roaster asked Red Dog.

"Never!"

"Find anyone else?" asked the fire-boiler again.

"Neither."

"Very well, you go down to rest." The fire roaster took out a gold medal and threw it in front of the red dog.

The red dog picked up the gold medal and returned it to the fire roaster: "Thank you, Khan, I don't want the gold medal."

The fire roaster sank: "Then what do you want? ?"

"I would like to be the slave in the Khan's house! Be the eyes that you see during the day, and the ears that you hear at night!"

The old translatorfaint smile.

The fire roaster was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily: "Then let you stay with me and be a servant in the door."

The red dog almost stepped his head into a pair of boots In between, desperately thank you.

"Go down."

The red dog walked away gratefully, and after leaving the sight of the fire roaster and the old interpreter, his smile quickly disappeared, as if the servile and kneeling just now. The man is not him.

In the middle of the night, the main force of the Terdun Khan tent, who had just arrived in Forge Township, ran non-stop to the new city of Gervoudan.

At the same time, the regrouped Iron Peaks troops also marched towards Revodan.
