1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 153 [Internal Breakthrough]

"Yes, Mr. Brannan." Big Ear said politely.

Brannan's store, outside of Fort Sutter, appears to be a brand new building that appears to have just opened.

Brannan stood at the door of the store, holding a bottle of wine in his hand: "I bought some good wine here, better than what I sold to you last time, why don't you have some?"

"No, no." Big Ear is not in the mood now, "We are going to help Mr. Sartre, it's not good to be late."

"Okay." Brannan didn't say much, and then went straight to Fort Sutter.

Big Ear heard it and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Brannan, are you going to Fort Sutter too?"

Brannan: "Yeah, I'm going to collect. There's a goddamn carpenter in the castle who owes me a lot of money."

Big Ear nodded, and together with Brannan came to the gate of Fort Sutter.

The two guards at the gate let Brannan go in, and questioned Da Er, "Which clan do you belong to?"

Da Er said respectfully: "We are Maidu people, from the Wild Duck clan, and we are here to help Mr. Sutter build a house."

"Mr. Reading told us about it yesterday," said another soldier.

The soldier who asked the question nodded: "Go in."

Big Ear led the crowd into Fort Sutter, while the two soldiers held their rifles in their arms and continued chatting along the gate.

"It's a bit cold this morning, and those Maidu people still don't wear shirts."

"Of course they are savages. The beasts are naked, and the savages are half-clothed."

"Indeed...but did you notice just now that a Maidu has a surprisingly big nose?"

"How big is it?"

"You can see it through the clothes anyway... I guess maybe ten inches."

"Ten inches? You must be joking." The other soldier was clearly incredulous.

"Short-sighted guy." The soldier taunted.

Just then a white woman came over and he asked, "Beautiful lady, have you ever seen a ten-inch nose?"

The lady left in embarrassment.

"Hahaha!" The two soldiers laughed heartily.

The Apache soldiers who performed the infiltration mission were undoubtedly the elite among the elite. They were all professional veterans who had been trained for three years, and all of them had participated in actual combat and killed the enemy.

It has only been more than three years since the horse sentry led the troops, so they are the most elite soldiers under the horse sentry.

So after entering Fort Sutter, they instinctively observed the surrounding buildings and thought about tactics.

Especially the two towers with cannons are the focus of their observation.

After a while, Pierson Redding came out of a house: "You guys are still early, come with me."

"Okay, Mr. Reading." Big Ear followed Reading.

Soon they came to an open space, where a lot of wood and tools had been piled up, and it was obvious that there was a shortage of construction workers.

Redding held a blueprint in his hand, explained to Da Er the house to be built, and then said, "Do it well."

After saying that, he left.

Da Er arranged for everyone to start construction, and the soldiers continued to observe the situation inside the fort while pretending to be working.

Through the accumulated information, they can basically conclude that there should be about 50 soldiers in Fort Sutter.

All whites combined, maybe 150 of them.

There are also many slaves, mainly local Indians, and a few blacks.

After a while, a quarrel suddenly came from a house not far away.

"Give me the money back!"

"Samuel Brannan, you black-hearted moneylender, I will never give you a penny back!"

Big ears startled: "It's Brannan."

The escalating quarrel attracted the attention of many people. After a while, the quarrel turned into a physical conflict. Brannan and a middle-aged man pushed each other out of the room.

More people turned their attention to this side.

"what happened?"

Brannan clutched a contract in his hand: "Gentlemen and ladies, all eyes are on me, and I want to make an announcement."

As he spoke, he pointed to the middle-aged man opposite: "This guy doesn't pay back his debts, and beats people!"

The face of the middle-aged man on the opposite side turned red: "Nonsense, you obviously did it first!"

There was already a circle of people around the two of them, talking and pointing.

Seeing this, Du Wang couldn't help showing a smile: "It's a good opportunity, brothers, get ready to act."

The twenty soldiers were immediately divided into three groups, one group went to the east gate of the fortress, and the other two groups went to the towers in the southeast and northwest corners respectively.

Du Wang took the four of them and personally entered the tower in the southeast corner.

When they entered, quite a few of the white soldiers inside were lying in front of the window, watching the quarrel outside.

"What are you doing?" The soldiers who didn't watch the excitement didn't react in time.

"Bang!" It was a bullet that answered him, and the soldier fell to the ground with his forehead bursting.

Five Apache soldiers pulled the trigger one after another, and quickly eliminated the white soldiers on the first floor, and then one of them collected the rifles of several white men, and the remaining four rushed to the second floor of the tower immediately.

Compared with the first floor, the soldiers on the second floor are obviously on guard.

"Enemy!" the white soldier yelled, raising his rifle and pulling the trigger.

"Bang bang bang!" Intensive gunshots sounded in the small space, and then several people fell to the ground, including four white men and two Apaches.

The four white men who fell to the ground were all shot several times, and they were basically certain to die.One of the two Apaches was also killed and the other was wounded in the leg.

A white soldier chose to surrender.

Du Tiao pointed his gun at his temple, and pointed at the cannon next to him: "You are an artilleryman, right? I order you to use this cannon to shoot at the south gate."

"Hurry up if you don't want to die!" Du Tiao kicked him, then turned to the other soldiers and said, "Be sure to keep an eye on the entrance, and don't let anyone come up."

"Yes!" the Apache soldiers responded.

Before the words fell, accompanied by two gunshots, two white soldiers who had just rushed up were shot dead.

The Apache soldiers moved quickly, mastering the two towers in a few minutes and controlling the east gate of the fort.

And just as they were moving, the horse whistle also moved when they heard the sound, put down the binoculars, and shook the reins: "Follow me to attack!"

As soon as the words fell, sixty cavalry galloped out!

At this time, the east gate of Fort Sutter was under the control of Apache soldiers, and some white soldiers were trying to take it back, but their firepower was insufficient, and they were not as brave as the Apache soldiers.

What's more terrible is that both towers were occupied, and the Apache soldiers on the towers cooperated with the soldiers on the ground, shooting and even firing condescendingly.

"Boom!" The south gate was hit by a cannon, and the white soldier in charge of the guard was killed on the spot.

The white people who wanted to escape through the south gate screamed and turned their heads, trying to escape through the north gate.
