Chapter 476 (2/2)
It's under the control of the osaqis, both Missouri and Arkansas.
In view of this situation, the big horn sheep decided to divide the army into eight groups, one regiment for each group, and pull out the eleven Tribes!
Although each regiment has only 1000 people, the soldiers of the first division are really armed to the teeth. Moreover, with the excellent equipment of the first division, not to mention the Indians, even the most powerful Englishmen at present, even if they send 3000 people, they will be beaten in front of the first division.
At that time, the equipment of the expeditionary army was far less than that of the first division of the stormy bear army, but the expeditionary army of 2100 people collapsed in a battle.
To this, bighorn sheep but deep experience! He was the commander of the Cree!
However, the weapons of the first division of the stormy bear army are far from those of the expeditionary army.
For example, a regiment of the first division will have a special mortar company, equipped with eight 55 mortars. In addition, there are two catapult companies, equipped with 100 catapults with smokeless powder as propellant and new xiaohuazha powder as warhead.
The remaining 700 soldiers, including 300 Musketeers, are equipped with explosive bear rifles with an effective range of 600 meters, top 200 archers and strong bows with a range of 140 meters. In addition, the security company directly under the regiment, the scouts and logistics troops are also equipped with powerful weapons.
The main mortar company and the catapult company alone are enough to destroy all the enemies on the road.
The power of the blossom bomb in this era is not small. Especially for the Indians who don't see much overheated weapons, the acousto-optic effect of explosion alone can frighten them down.
The eight regiments of the first division, under the leadership of their respective scouts, are advancing rapidly towards their respective goals.
If you look down from high altitude, it is eight sharp arrows shooting in eight directions!
The first one to contact the enemy was the second regiment of the first division. The second regiment attacked in the northwest direction. On the road ahead of them, there was a big Missouri tribe with a population of more than 1000 people!
The ambitious soldiers of the second regiment saw this extensive tribe after they trudged about 10 kilometers.
Most of the Cherokee tribes are in mountainous areas. Even the top ten tribes are as small as possible, so most of the Cherokee tribes are very compact.
However, this is the Central Plains. There are endless plains and grasslands everywhere. Therefore, the land occupied by a tribe of more than 1000 people is several times that of the Cherokee tribe.
The officers and men of the second regiment prepared to win the big tribe one by one, making a good start for the western expedition. What I didn't expect was that when the soldiers of the second regiment set out to attack, the tribe didn't move at all.
Finally, when the scouts rode close to the tribe carefully, they found that the tribe was empty and no one was seen!
I wanted to clench my fist to give the enemy a head-on blow, but I didn't expect that I would shake my waist
