1840Indian rebirth

Rifles have been fully popularized in Sleeping Bear City. Although bows and arrows are still often carried, they are only used as backup weapons and are only used in a few cases.

In contrast, only a few people in the three-community coalition use firearms, and most of them are smoothbore guns, whose range and accuracy are not as good as rifled guns.

Therefore, in just the first round of attacks, the dense rain of bullets dealt them a blow, and the formation became chaotic.

At the same time, Steppenwolf and Lone View's cavalry quickly surrounded them on both sides.

Of course, the allied forces of the three tribes also knew that they had to guard against outflanking, so they separated a group of warriors in time, about three to four hundred people, to intercept the Sleeping Bear Cavalry from the left and right.

"Fire!" Prairie Wolf and Du Tiao shouted almost at the same time, and the Sleeping Bear Cavalry raised their rifles, aimed and fired.

"Bang bang bang!"

Two hundred bullets temporarily blocked the interception of the three ethnic coalition forces.

Immediately afterwards, the Sleeping Bear Cavalry hung the finished rifle on the side of the horse, then took out the Colt revolver and held it in his hand.

This is a plan designed by Mashao. All professional soldiers will be equipped with at least two guns, one rifle and one revolver, and officers will be equipped with at least two pistols.

The rifle is responsible for long-distance shooting. In a charge battle, it can be put down after basically one round of shooting. After all, there is no time to charge on horseback and reload ammunition at the same time.

At short to medium distances, the revolver's bullets rain down, pouring out ammunition in a very short period of time, striking the enemy violently.

The two teams of cavalry did exactly this. After one round of shooting, they held revolvers and advanced at full speed along the outflanking route.

The allied forces of the three tribes were already struggling to deal with the shooting in Sleeping Bear City. They had no time to intercept them and could only barely close their formation.

So soon the two groups of cavalry successfully circled to the enemy's flank and rear, and immediately launched a charge, running towards the enemy from the flank and rear.

"Bang bang bang——"

What followed was a hail of bullets from the revolver. The enemy in the front fell instantly, and screams could not be heard.

"Thick shoulders, follow me to attack!" Witnessing this scene through the telescope, the horse whistle immediately ordered the soldiers in the city to go out of the city to attack, and he and two hundred cavalry attacked the three tribes coalition forces.

What happened next was no surprise.

Faced with the comprehensive crushing of equipment, combat quality, and formations, the three-community coalition forces had little power to fight back, and the force of a pincer attack was established, and they instantly fell into chaos.

"Surrender without killing!"

"lay down your weapon!"

As a necessary foreign language knowledge for professional soldiers, surrender words in Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Comanche resounded on the battlefield.

Naturally, the allied forces of the three tribes, whose defeat was certain, had no choice but to surrender. Nearly a thousand people became prisoners, and the rest were corpses and a few clever little ghosts who escaped from the battlefield in time.

The leaders of the coalition forces, several great chiefs and war chiefs were escorted in front of the horse posts, all looking in a state of embarrassment. The leader among them was Arapaho's Broken Bow.

The horse whistle looked at Duan Gong and said slowly: "Great Chief Duan Gong, I heard that you like war. I thought you were a good warrior."

When Duan Gong heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and the veins on his forehead popped out: "You can cut off my scalp, but you can't insult me!"

"Insult? Aren't I telling the truth?" Ma Shao snorted, "Look at these corpses on the ground. How many Arapaho young people paid the price with their lives, just for your stupid, selfish desire for war?"

As a translator, Rainy Day purposely said this sentence loudly so that other Arapaho captives could hear it.

"We shouldn't be here..."

"Had we known this, we should have listened to the crow's advice."

"Yes, Crow is right, we are no match for the Apaches, at least not for the Sleeping Bear."

"My brother died in the battle all because of a broken bow!" Some voices of discussion rang out among the Arapaho prisoners.

After hearing this, Duan Gong couldn't help but feel extremely humiliated, and his body trembled slightly: "Apache and Arapaho people will never surrender to you. Just kill me!"

"Yes, I will kill you." The horse whistle announced his death sentence, "But not now, you will be tried by the law and then executed by me as a war criminal."

"And I won't scalp you. The Bear Sleepers have done away with that tradition."

In addition to these leaders, there was another person who was escorted to the horse post, but he had a square face that betrayed Sleeping Bear.

Ma Shao originally wanted to have a few words with Fang Lian, but this guy seemed to be crazy and kept scolding him, so that he was gagged.

In the end, he said nothing and stopped looking at the people who were about to be executed. Instead, he turned around and ordered: "Place all the prisoners, build them a shelter from the rain, and don't abuse them."

"Yes." The soldiers went to place the prisoners.

"How do you plan to deal with so many prisoners?" Rainy Day asked.

"Treat their injuries first," Ma Shao said. "Our soldiers have almost no casualties, but they have many wounded. The shaman will have to be busy for a while."

"What happens after that?" Yutian asked again, "I guess you won't let them go back."

The horse whistle smiled: "Of course, we couldn't help letting them go back last time. It's different now. We can keep them and let them cultivate farmland and build buildings."

"During this period, you remember to take the shaman to preach to these captives, change their minds, and encourage them to call their families and settle in Sleeping Bear."

"As long as these captives put down their hostility and settle in Sleeping Bear City with their families, we can give them free status and let them become ordinary residents."

Rainy Day nodded, suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he pointed forward: "That's——"

The horse whistle also looked up and saw a group of figures emerging from the end of the field of vision, rushing towards here at full speed.

He quickly picked up the telescope and took a look, but soon he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's the Chiricahua tribe."

The visitors were none other than the Chiricahua tribe of Apache, Oak's tribe. They were obviously here to aid Sleeping Bear.

"Long time no see, Chief Oak." The horse whistle went over to greet him and said with a smile.

Chief Oak looked around in surprise. It was obvious that a battle had just occurred here, but Ma Shao and the others looked calm and calm, as if nothing had happened.

"I heard that the Comanches came to attack the Sleeping Bear, so I brought some soldiers to help you, but this...could the battle be over?" He couldn't help but ask.

The horse whistle nodded: "Yes, you are late. If you were a little earlier, we could fight side by side."

Chief Oak came back to his senses and smiled slightly awkwardly: "Haha, it seems that it doesn't matter whether I come or not, those Comanches are no match for you."

"Now that you're here, let's rest in Sleeping Bear for a few days." Ma Shao said, "We will hold a trial tomorrow."

"Judgment?" Oak frowned.
