Chapter 30: The Europeans' advance
Buddis smiled without a look of worry on his face, "It is so naive that those Indian natives thought that this would block our cavalry's way. As long as we send a team of 300 people to attack the hidden natives from afar, it will be easy to drive them away, and then let the Indian natives who come with us move out the roadblocks."
Siegel was extremely burly, with his curly blonde hair making him look like an aristocratic warrior. At this time, he also smiled and said, "That's right, although the mezzanine is almost difficult to hit people two hundred meters away, but a few hundred people came over and fired a few shots, which would scare the rustic bulls to death."
Nelson frowned and said, "Earl Buddys, Earl Siegel, we should not underestimate these Indian natives, especially this grizzly tribe, which is extremely fierce. The 100 elite warriors in our settlement were killed by them."
Buddys laughed: "Mr. Nelson, of course we won't be careless. However, the Indian natives are only good at jungle assassination, and are definitely not our opponents. We will not give them a chance to fight in the jungle. If we did not attack them before, wouldn't we just lock them in the Bison Valley?"
He paused and said, "We are just waiting to divide the wealth of the Grizzly Bear Tribe. I hope that the gold vein will be as rich as Mr. Nelson said. We will send so many people to come this time, and it will cost a lot!"
Nelson said: "It certainly won't disappoint Count Buddys and Count Siegel."
The three of them looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter at the same time. Then Buddis's face changed abruptly and he said coldly: "Start the attack!"
The Indians had powerful jungle attack tactics, so people like Buddis who had received regular military education naturally knew how to prevent it.
To be honest, these attack tactics are difficult to play any role in large-scale combat.
More than a thousand Europeans separated ten squadrons, less than fifty meters apart, surrounded the entrance to Bison Valley in a fan shape. On the grass beside the riverbed were cavalry used by Europeans to support them, and the Indian natives who were bribed by the Europeans were scattered everywhere. Even if they were attacked by people from the Grizzly Bear Tribe, they could quickly mobilize their troops to surround the enemies lurking in the dark.
This is also the reason why the people of the Grizzly Tribe gathered in Bison Valley and did not disperse to disturb the Europeans. At the beginning, they lost dozens of warriors, and four or five European talents were killed and killed. It was impossible for the Grizzly Tribe to fight with the other party to consume.
Although the mountain road in Bison Valley is narrow and has a width of thirty or forty meters. With the technological level first, it is not unrealistic to completely block such a wide mountain road with obstacles in a short period of time. Moreover, Ye Feiyu's armored truck has to pass through here. The Grizzly Bear Tribe blocked the road just to show off and attract Europeans.
Many pits have been dug out on the cliff slope at the end of the mountain road, cliff gaps and rocks have been raised, and more than fifty riflesmen are hidden, as well as fifty riflesmen and hundreds of grizzly bear soldiers equipped with bows and arrows and machetes, stopped behind and ready to support the battle at any time.
According to Ye Feiyu's calculation, at least 500 European soldiers must be eliminated on this mountain road that is only 200 meters long.
More than 1,100 European soldiers, with the support of various settlements, were mostly equipped with colloid guns, but many of them were inferior products, and there were only about 300 truly excellent colloid guns.
At this time, the Europeans had very monotonous tactics. Under the command of Badis, three hundred musketeers walked towards the Bison Valley with uneven steps, with fierce expressions, and looked really fierce.
Everyone knows that even if their mezzanines are far superior to the bows and arrows of the Indian natives and throwing spears, there will definitely be casualties in the attack on Bison Valley in such a way. The commanders of the three countries are unwilling to suffer losses. The three hundred troops sent troops tacitly according to their respective proportions, with the largest number of French soldiers.
Of course, once the Grizzly Tribe was defeated, the French would also get the most trophys.
The first musket team to attack Bison Valley had a lookout hand specifically responsible for exploring the environment. They used a rough lens barrel to observe the movements on both sides of the mountain road. Sure enough, there were many excavation marks hundreds of meters away, with people shaking their heads inside, and many Indians were hiding inside.
However, the lookout hand did not give a prompt. The distance between five or six hundred meters, the mezzanine could not hit there, let alone the Indian bows and spears. They just sneered in their hearts. These Indian natives were so ridiculous. Do you think this would block the footsteps of the muskets?
The contempt for the Indians, from the most ordinary European soldiers to the coalition commanders, was the same.
Even outside the valley entrance, the Musketeers did not encounter the attacks of the Indians, which surprised Buddis and others.
This is the best defense place for the Indians. Once the Europeans enter the mountain road, they take advantage of the terrain and shoot against the Grizzly Tribe warriors, the remaining European soldiers can enter the mountain road one after another. The Grizzly Tribe with simple long-range weapons can only retreat one way to go. When the mountain road is occupied by the Europeans, clear the roadblocks and let the cavalry enter, the initiative is in the hands of the Europeans, and they can attack the Grizzly Tribe's resident at any time.
Nelson looked a little strange and couldn't help but say, "What's going on? People from the Grizzly Tribe don't understand this simple truth? Let us enter the mountain road?"
Siegel smiled: "I guess they are afraid of our musketeers. In front of absolute advantage, any strategy is useless! Let them continue to move forward!"
The order was quickly passed to the assault musket team. More than a dozen thick logs blocked the Gukou Mountain Road and could only slightly block the footsteps of the war horses, which was of little use to people. Seeing that there were no grizzly warriors nearby, they hid in pits. The grizzly warriors behind the rocks were three or four hundred meters away from them, they naturally would not be afraid. Many muskets even laughed and climbed over big tree barricades close to one meter in diameter and officially entered the Bison Valley Mountain Road.
Less than thirty meters past the mountain road, dozens of thick logs and huge stones blocked the road. The warriors of the Grizzly Tribe lurked nearby, so the muskets easily crossed the second obstacle.
There are many steep cliffs on both sides of the mountain road, and there are endless rivers on one side, which cannot hide people. Under the observation of the lookout, it is impossible for the people of the Grizzly Tribe to lurk nearby on a large scale, so the musket team advanced very quickly and smoothly.
The attack team needs to be progressive in a step-by-step manner to form a continuous firepower network, and do not give the enemy the opportunity to disrupt the formation of his army.
The first musket team had entered the valley more than 100 meters. With such a short distance, if the Indians took the initiative at all costs, it would take only one minute to cross all obstacles and face the battle with the Europeans.
During this period, the muskets could only fire one round of shooting. Even if all three hundred lead bullets hit, they could only kill three hundred grizzly warriors. Therefore, the 300 muskets in the second echelon also entered the Bison Valley Road under the command of Buddis and others, and were only less than a hundred meters away from the troops in front.
The tactics adopted by the Europeans are undoubtedly correct. Gun troops often need to form a scale and perfectly arrange a firepower net to form an overwhelming advantage over the cold weapon troops. Therefore, the three musket teams, a total of 900 European soldiers, except for the two hundred cavalry units, all the rest have entered the mountain road that is only more than 200 meters long.
The Indian soldiers who were attached to the Europeans also stepped forward and followed the musket team, using ropes, crowbars, etc. to start cleaning up roadblocks to facilitate the cavalry to launch an attack.
Three hundred meters...two hundred fifty meters...two hundred meters...two hundred meters...
The distance between the Musketeer and the Grizzly Tribe Warrior is getting closer.
The first team of musketeers had reached the open end of the mountain road, only two hundred meters away from the pit dug by the Grizzly Tribe, and the enemy officially entered the range of the medley gun.
At this distance, the chance of the convex gun hitting the enemy is no more than one percent. However, European soldiers have stopped. Under the command of the squad leader, they sorted out the queue, lined up, and aimed. Just wait for a command, the convex gun in their hands will make a loud bang, spraying amazing lead bombs on the Grizzly Tribe warriors hidden in the dark.
They dare not continue to move forward. No matter how short the distance is, the people of the Grizzly Tribe can launch a charge. There are more than a dozen roadblocks behind them, which is difficult to retreat. Even if the musket team behind them launches an attack, these 300 of them will have to be submerged in the sea of warriors of the Grizzly Tribe. I don’t know how many of them can survive.
Even if the attack was launched between two hundred meters, the Europeans believed that the Indians would definitely flee in fear. If they killed a few Indians by chance, it would be even more beautiful. No matter how strong the warriors were, they would not be able to persevere in such a situation where they could only be beaten but not counterattacked.
"Bang bang bang" sounded like the sound of a medley gun attacking. However, the captain who was in charge of commanding the musket team was stunned for a moment. He had not yet made any attempt to attack, so why did someone start shooting?
