Chapter 507 (1/2)

Although the Navajos became the largest preserved Indian tribe in the United States, they were much inferior to the Apache and even the Comanche at this time.

Even at this time, the number of Navajos is more than that of Apaches and Comanches, but it can not change that Navajos are in a relatively weak position.

However, compared with the Pueblo people, the Navajo people, who are also indigenous people in the southwest, are much stronger.

But this kind of strength is paper in front of the fierce bear army.

The fierce bear army even broke down with the Comanches, and forced the more fierce Apache people to flee to the West. How could the Navajo people resist the fierce bear army?

In fact, when the bear Stormers ”escorted” the Apache people all the way to the west, and finally let the Apache people continue their journey to the west near Yuma, the bear Stormers began to move northward along the Colorado River Valley.

Although the Navajo territory is not far away from the Apache territory, there are many mountains between them. There are many scattered mountains between the Colorado plateau where the Navajos live and the area where Apache lives, but it is these mountains that we have to let the bear army go a long way to reach the Navajo territory.

And along the north side of Colorado is undoubtedly the best way to go.

Of course, from Yuma to the north along the Colorado River, this area will also become the focus of the stormy bear army. If the Apache people want to go back from California, the Colorado River will become a natural barrier, and this natural moat will provide enough reaction time for the bears.

If we can successfully win the Navajo, then the whole southwest can rely on the steep rocky mountains and the turbulent Colorado River to form a strong enough defense line to protect the safety of the southwest.

The situation near the Colorado River is much better in this era than in later generations. Later generations of Americans built the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River. As a result, the whole Colorado River was cut off. Although it formed a huge artificial lake like Lake Mead and provided sufficient water for Las Vegas and other cities, it caused an irreversible and devastating impact on the ecology of the lower reaches of the Colorado River.

With the construction of Hoover Dam, the original large area of the downstream grassland has been reduced a lot in just a few decades, causing an almost irreversible devastating blow to the local ecology. But at this time, there was no Hoover Dam, no Lake Mead, so the valley grassland area of the lower Colorado River was still large.

In fact, the Navajo migrated along the Colorado River Valley. In spring, they will go down from the Colorado Plateau along the south of Colorado, stay in the downstream river valley with fertile water and grass until autumn, and then go north before winter to enter the deep Grand Canyon of Colorado, relying on the protection of the Grand Canyon to avoid the cold wind in winter.

But this time, the bear Stormers, led by the Pueblo, went all the way north along the Colorado River Valley and reached the door of the Navajo from the back.

Obviously, the Navajo did not expect that there was such a wonderful marching route for the bear army. Their large troops were arranged in the southeast, relying on the local terrain to try to resist the invasion of the bear army.

Unfortunately, stone bear's unreasonable ”back door” March route really caught the Navajo people off guard.

All the Navajos were dumbfounded when the bear stormtroopers appeared behind the Navajo's back door.

Of course, they already know the strength of the fierce bear army. Among the more than 4000 elite soldiers they sent out, less than 300 came back in that battle. Especially after the soldiers who came back and the high-level people talked about the terror of the bear army, the Navajo people were already scared.
