"Marquis, do the Americans drive cattle? Do they come with the buffalo?"

The Iron Chief had long heard from the French son-in-law in the tribe that there were some tribes in the Old World that could drive their cattle to nomadic herds, so when he heard the thunderous sound of hoofbeats and the constant sound of gunshots, he actually thought of it.

Nomads.

"Of course they can drive the cattle, and so can we French..." Marquis Marina replied a few words. The gunshots coming from the front had become more intensive. He already knew that something was wrong!

But I still don’t know how bad things really are?

He turned to the steel leader and said: "Chief, we must go and see..."

Of course, the Iron Chief was fearless and nodded immediately, "Okay, I also want to see how people from the Old World drive cattle."

After saying that, he took the lead on his horse and ran towards the place where the gunshots kept ringing out. All the Soviet soldiers seemed to be inspired by their leader, they all clapped their horses forward and made strange screams one after another.

"French warriors, follow me! Move forward!" Marquis Marina, who was wearing plate armor, also waved to the 1,000 French dragoons following him, and then led them westward like flying.

2,000 French and Soviet cavalry were running and scattered into several groups among the grasslands and woodlands on the south bank of the river. They did not run at full speed, but kept a constant speed and moved westward.

The cavalry marched for about half an hour, and the sound of gunfire gradually stopped, but the thunderous sound of hoofbeats became denser, clearer, and even more chilling.

Just when Marquis Marina's brows were frowning more and more, and he was already feeling something terrible, a group of Apaches with feathers on their heads (actually a hat) protected De Pierre and retreated in embarrassment.

.

De Pierre saw the Marquis of Marina wearing an eye-catching plate armor from a distance, so he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Marquis, it's not good... The Mongols are coming! The Mongols are coming.

The American continent is nomadic!”

What?

The Mongols... came to the American continent to nomadic herds? How is this possible? Marquis Marina really can't figure out how the Mongols came here? The Mongolian grasslands and North America are not connected together, how did they come here?

?Did you buy a ferry ticket and come here on a Pacific sailing ship?

But they came all the way to America just to be nomadic?

While the Marquis of Marina was in a daze, De Pierre had already galloped up to him on horseback. The former fur trader who had become a nobleman grabbed the reins of the Marquis's horse, forcibly stopped it, and then

Before the Marquis could get angry, he said quickly and urgently: "There are too many, there are too many Mongols... They are all over the mountains and plains, at least 100,000, no, 200,000!"

"What? 200,000..." Marquis Marina couldn't believe his ears.

200,000 Mongolians! Three or four hundred years ago, when the European continent was still immersed in the dark Middle Ages, this number of Mongols could fight from the Kipchak grasslands all the way to Poland... Although this number

The Mongols are no longer a threat to the European continent, which has entered the age of guns. But on the Great Plains of North America, the 200,000 Mongols are still an invincible existence.

Of course, the British on the east coast and the Spaniards in the south have the strength to repel 200,000 Mongols... but not on the Great Plains of North America, but on the east coast, in Mexico,

Defeat the nomadic Mongols where they can muster heavy troops and provide them with adequate supplies.

But in the wild Great Plains... the 200,000 Mongolians who are constantly nomadic will be very difficult to defeat! Because currently there is no other way to maintain tens of thousands of people in the hinterland of the Great Plains for a long time except nomadism.

army.

Not to mention keeping this army mobile on the desolate plains without towns or villages... With so many people gathered together, there is no way to maintain it by hunting.

What is even more frightening is that there is also a powerful United States of New Zealand serving as the backing of these Mongols!

"Marquis, let's run away!" De Pierre's voice sounded in the Marquis' ears again, interrupting his thoughts.

"No, I want to see with my own eyes what these Mongolians who came to America look like!" Marquis Marina pulled back the reins and continued to move forward.

De Pierre did not dare to leave the governor of New France and escape, so he turned his horse around and continued to run back with the Marquis of Marina.

However, he and the Marquis of Marina did not run for long before they reined in their horses again.

Because they have already encountered the nomadic "Mongols"!

Contrary to Marquis Marina's imagination, no Mongolians riding short Mongolian horses shot arrows at them, and no Mongolians wielding scimitars rushed up to chop people.

What they saw were the "Mongols" who had formed an infantry phalanx on the bank of the river, numbering about several thousand.

The infantry phalanx is composed of fusiliers and pikemen. The fusiliers are in front and the pikes are in the back. It looks a bit like Morris's phalanx and Gustav's phalanx. It is now slowly advancing.

Behind them, there were a large number of lancers, about 1,000 of them, all in groups of more than a hundred, and they were also moving forward slowly.

Are these the Mongols who once made the European Catholic world tremble? Marquis Marina frowned and said to himself: They look quite advanced, maybe not as good as the first-class European armies, but they are definitely not weak.

Behind these "Mongols" who had already set up their battle formations, there were dozens of convoys and horse teams marching in columns on the grassland. The convoy was composed of a large four-wheeled carriage, which looked very solid.

.And on the left side of each carriage, about ten paces apart, was a column of cavalry, each carrying a musket and a lance.

Among the convoys and horse teams, there were countless cattle, sheep and horses, being driven forward.

Whether it is the infantry and cavalry advancing in formation, or the knights advancing in the distance protecting the convoys, cattle, sheep and horses, they are all wearing long robes and hoods, and they really look like Mongolians.

As for their number, 100,000 and 200,000 are estimates. Anyway, it should be more than 300! And at a glance, they are boundless, so the number will definitely not be small.

At this time, Steel from the Great Soviet Department also rode a war horse and galloped to the side of Marquis Marina, saying loudly: "Marquis, Crazy Horse has been defeated... We lost a lot of people and scattered and retreated.

Let’s go too!”

No one would be crazy enough to fight an enemy who outnumbered him by unknown numbers but was equipped with similar equipment. The Marquis of Marina was not stupid, and quickly said to Steel: "Chief, Fort St. Louis can't hold it anymore...

..Let’s retreat south together and go to New Rome City first!”

"Okay," Steel nodded, "I'll go to New Rome with you... I hope to see something useful!"

"Okay, let's leave quickly!" Marquis Marina nodded. We must retreat. If we don't retreat, it will be too late.

The "Mongols" are not only infantry, but also have countless cavalry. If they really have to pursue them fiercely, Marquis Marina and the Iron Chief may not be able to escape.

However, this group of "Mongols" didn't seem to have any intention of killing them all. They watched them go away before they separated one or two thousand horsemen to follow them.

...

"Second brother, those Western soldiers are gone!"

"Just let them go... Our Night Breaker will follow them to find the Golden River!"

"If I can find it, I'll post it!"

"You can definitely find it! Look, if there are no gold mines, what would all the Western soldiers do in the area around the Mississippi River?"

"Second brother is absolutely right. Our hard work this time was not in vain!"

The two brothers Zhu Hekun and Zhu Hezhen were talking behind the "Mongolian Army". Of course they deliberately let Marquis Marina and Steel Chief run away... The purpose of what they did was of course to follow them to find the legend.

The golden river in the middle.

The two of them took a "nomadic army" of 150,000 people, walked for two or three months, suffered so much hardship, and went to the Great Plains of North New Zealand, where there was nothing but bison, grasslands, and forests, for what?
