Anthony expected, after the US military accelerated its march south, fewer and fewer people followed him. A large number of soldiers did not choose to flee with him. Some simply did not come, and some deserted after they came out. Only 10,000 or 20,000 people remained firmly with him.
Most of them were his direct descendants, the most loyal to him.
So when he arrived in Beaumont, he felt a little mixed when he saw that there were only so few people following him!
“Brother, many people followed us when we set out, but as we walked, these guys disappeared!”
“Yes, big brother, hundreds of my men have also escaped. These people have horses, and they can’t be caught if they leave quietly. If this continues, I’m afraid we will lose more people when we enter Louisiana!”
The large number of soldiers’ escape made Anthony and his subordinates more depressed and their morale even lower. If they were attacked by the enemy at this time, they would not have much combat effectiveness, and the soldiers might not even have the courage to resist.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. Beaumont is just ahead. Let’s go into the city to rest for a night and then set off tomorrow morning for Orange. As long as we enter Orange, we will be safe!”
Anthony pulled himself together and comforted his direct subordinates.
He knew that the morale of the army was close to collapse. The soldiers had left their homes not far away, and there were powerful enemies behind them who were constantly chasing them. This strong pressure made the entire army from top to bottom tense. If they didn’t relax, I’m afraid the string would be broken, right?
Beaumont’s position was very close to the border area. It was very close to the German army, but relatively far from the US army. So after entering here, the big stone in Anthony’s heart finally relaxed a little, so he finally slept well.
However, the next morning, when Anthony was about to gather the army to prepare to set off, he found that something seemed to be wrong. Why did the guards around him suddenly increase a lot?
And many of them looked like completely unfamiliar faces. These soldiers must not be his own people!
But, since they were not his own people, why did they appear by his side now?
Anthony was a very cautious person. Once he found that something was wrong, he immediately took action
“Quick, march towards Orange!”
Anthony found the captain of his personal guard and asked him to take the most loyal and trustworthy soldiers to escort him away quickly!
Anthony didn’t dare to bring too many people, because he was worried that if he made too much noise, it might alarm others. When he didn’t know who was going to attack him, he didn’t dare to trust anyone but himself!
Fortunately, the captain of the personal guard was still loyal to him. After receiving Anthony’s order, he immediately escorted him away with 500 soldiers, boarded a train to Orange, and set off alone, leaving the large army behind! As soon as
Anthony left, he found a large number of soldiers chasing him from behind!
“Stop, don’t run!”
“Catch up with that Anthony guy, he’s running!”
“Anyone who captures Anthony alive will be promoted three levels and rewarded with $1 million!”
The pursuers behind rode fast horses, waving whips wildly all the way, and quickly chased them, shouting and saying things that frightened Anthony!
$100!
It’s really crazy. A million dollars in this era is completely different from a million dollars in the future.
In modern times, a car costs only more than $2,000, and $1 million is almost equivalent to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in the future!
In order to catch me, the other party actually offered such a high bounty, which can really be regarded as a big deal!
However, after seeing the familiar figures behind him, Anthony couldn’t help feeling sad! He originally thought that it was only one of his many subordinates who betrayed him, but he didn’t expect that it was all of them! Is he so unbearable that he has been abandoned by everyone?
“General, don’t be discouraged. It’s a good thing to see the true colors of these people as soon as possible. At least you don’t have to worry about being betrayed by them in the future!”
The captain of the Royal Guard saw Anthony’s depressed look and comforted him.
Hearing the words of the captain of the Royal Guard, Anthony felt a little more excited.
The other party was right. This matter was not all bad for him. At least he understood what kind of people these people around him were, and he has now successfully escaped from the tiger’s mouth. Next, he just needs to enter Louisiana and seek shelter from the German army. He will return to Texas one day in the future!
At that time, with the strong support of the German army, he will definitely settle accounts with those traitors who betrayed him today!
Thinking of this, Anthony urged:”How far is it from Orange, and how long will it take to get there?”
“It’s not far, about 20 kilometers, and it will probably take more than half an hour to get there!”
Beaumont and Orange are not far from each other. The straight-line distance between the two places is only about 30 kilometers. At the speed of the train, it will take about an hour to get there!
“That’s good, as long as we enter the Orange area, we will be safe!”
Anthony didn’t have much confidence in the hundreds of guards around him, because the number of enemies chasing him was too large, and he obviously couldn’t fight these people with his own strength.
But the German army was different. He had witnessed the power of the German army with his own eyes, so he was in awe of the German army’s strength from the bottom of his heart.
The only worry was the number of German troops stationed in Orange. The number of German troops here seemed to have always been small, and they were often mobilized.
If the German army had military operations in other places and needed to mobilize the troops here, resulting in a lack of defense here, then even if he fled here, he might not be able to guarantee his own safety!
Hope The German troops here have not been mobilized. It would be best if the German troops from other places were mobilized here!
However, after looking back at the rebels riding horses chasing after the train, Anthony secretly made up his mind: If the number of German troops in Orange is not large, then he will continue to head east and head straight to the German base in Florida!
Once in Florida, with the protection of hundreds of thousands of German troops, these rebels will naturally be unable to do anything to him!
Boom!
Just when Anthony thought he was out of danger, suddenly, there was a loud noise in front of the train, and then the whole train began to vibrate violently!
