America 1881: Legend of the West

The team members for the night attack were quickly determined.

The reason is simple. After this team completes the attack, they will not look back. Their members are also members who are looking for the treasure and the promised land with Chen Jianqiu and the others.

Naturally, all the members of Chen Jianqiu's team are not missing. Even Holmes has a gun. Chen Jianqiu does not expect this premature geologist to fight bravely. He only needs to protect himself. .

On the Apache tribe, Geronimo left Loczen behind. She will lead the remaining tribesmen in the mining stronghold to hide themselves and move when necessary until the treasure hunting team finds a new settlement.

The people who followed Geronimo, in addition to Turtle Dove and the High Priest, were eight carefully selected warriors. They all knew how to use repeating rifles and were even more powerful in close combat.

The chief originally wanted to bring more people, but according to Chen Jianqiu's point of view, if there are too many people, the target will be big, but it is better to have fewer people, which will reduce the logistical pressure, be flexible, and make it easier to escape.

The purpose of this operation is not to annihilate, but to attract enough attention.

In fact, there is another consideration, which Chen Jianqiu did not mention.

Controlling the number of Apaches in the team so that the composition of the team maintains a relative balance, even if the Indians' ideas change, he can immediately and effectively control the situation.

It was a situation he didn't want to see, but he had to be prepared.

Just like that, the eighteen warriors, oh, no, seventeen warriors and a brave woman, were ready to go when night fell.

A bonfire was raised in the square in front of the mine. The flames of the bonfire were kept to a minimum to prevent them from being seen by intruders outside the mine.

The remaining men, women, and children of the Apache tribe gathered around the campfire. They did not sing or dance, but half-knelt on the ground and prayed for their warriors.

As a member of the warriors, the high priest did not wear the large and complicated traditional fur priest clothing. He put on the new attire made for him by the tribal women.

The high priest recited a prayer silently in the tribal language, pointed his hands to the sky, then knelt down on his knees and knelt down in front of the bonfire.

He didn't ask for anything from heaven and the God of Fire. He just hoped that they could protect his tribe and his fellow tribesmen and obtain what originally belonged to them.

Loczen used paint found in the mines to paint the warriors who went out into battle, believing it would make them braver in battle.

After the ceremony was roughly completed, everyone got on their horses. Geronimo turned his head and glanced at Chen Jianqiu: "Heavenly Warrior, do you have anything else to say?"

Chen Jianqiu cleared his throat:

"set off!"

The team of eighteen people was definitely not a mighty one. They were like a pack of wolves under the moonlit night, charging straight at the leading camp of the US military.

According to intelligence, there were more than 40 members of the vanguard of the US Sixth Cavalry Regiment there.

After advancing at a constant speed for more than an hour, the camp appeared in Chen Jianqiu's field of vision. The U.S. military did not shy away from it. The camp was brightly lit, like a bright light in the wilderness.

They had no reason to be afraid. The Apache tribe had only one breath left under their pursuit for several years. Not long ago, they had just won a battle.

Since Crook became the supreme commander of the US military in this area, he has provided "unforgettable" tactical education to his officers. Those who are disobedient will either be kicked to the edge of the desert to eat sand, or directly chopped down by Geronimo. Head.

They learned well, and in order to deal with Indian night attacks, they would set up sentries outside the camp, and then block the perimeter of the camp with their team's baggage, such as horse-drawn carriages.

In this way, when the sentry detects the enemy for the first time, the inside of the camp can immediately rely on the baggage to stop the attack.

Chen Jianqiu pulled out the Winchester rifle from his horse and raised it high behind him.

Eighteen people divided into two teams and rushed towards the camp from two directions.

The night attack force was divided into two groups, but Geronimo did not agree at first.

The number of people in the team was already small, and there was also a non-combat geologist and a woman among them. If they were separated, the impact would be completely lost.

The personnel distribution of the team is also very strange. Chen Jianqiu takes Danny, Asuka, Turtle Dove and four warriors, while Geronimo takes the remaining people. Whether it is communication or command, it does not seem to be the best way. .

In Chen Jianqiu's words, none of this matters.

"What we want to do this time is to harass, not to annihilate."

He also hopes that this team can build mutual trust through fighting.

At this time, at the sentry post outside the camp, two US soldiers were peeing and chatting.

"Robert, don't drag me along next time you're on the night shift?" a soldier said.

"Dennis, it's not my decision. You have to ask the leader." The soldier named Robert shook his head.

"It will be very dangerous for you to work the night shift with me. No kidding, I will only tell you about this."

"what?"

"Because I have mild night blindness." Dennis told his secret, but he suddenly felt a wetness in his trousers, "Robert! Damn it, you peed on my feet."

Robert on the side was unmoved, took a deep breath, and said calmly:

"Oh, it's okay, I have it too."

Theoretically speaking, according to the dietary structure of the people in the western United States in the 19th century, night blindness was not a common thing, but by chance, these two young people got together and not only avoided the military's physical examination, but also Just the same shift tonight.

"Don't worry, those Indians won't come." Robert stretched, "They have been taught a lesson by us a few days ago, and many people died."

"That's right, one less of them died. Alas, I really don't understand what those guys have to resist. It's not like there's no room for them." Dennis agreed.

"Hell, are you talking about the Arizona desert? It's not even as good as here. Just like when the two of us pee right now, a rattlesnake might jump out from the cracks in the rocks."

"It would be nice to have a place. It's better than death. Hey, did you hear anything?"

"what?"

On a quiet night in the New Mexico wilderness, any sound would cause alarm.

They turned their heads and looked into the dark night, where there was the sound of horse hooves, but they could not see anything in the darkness.

They pulled up their pants and went to get the guns from their backs.

But two feather arrows shot out of the dark night, hitting the two people directly. Then two horses passed by them, and the two people instantly turned into two headless corpses lying on the ground.

"What's going on? Are these two deaf or blind?" Ikaruga retracted his bow and pulled out his gun.

But Chen Jianqiu did not answer this question.

They were very close to the camp and could see the obstacles blocking the camp.

"Turtledove, Danny, tell the soldiers, when you rush in later, you must, must maintain a good formation, I will not allow anyone to fall behind." Chen Jianqiu said, "Give your backs to each other, believe me, You won’t lose a hair on your head.”

During the battle in the mine, Ikaruga followed this Chinese man and he fully trusted him.

He turned his head and said to the warrior behind him: "Follow the Heavenly Warrior and charge!"

Chen Jianqiu leaned down, and the black radish began to sprint with Chen Jianqiu's favorite things hanging on its sides.

This was explosive left over from the mine. It was not found at first, but later the Apaches discovered it in the dry depths of the mine.

Art is an explosion.
