Rebirth of the Spanish Empire.

Chapter 58 Prelude to the Battle

Chapter 58 Prelude to the Battle

1876 year 10 month 3 day,

Montana, USA, Black Hills Valley region.

About 1800 American soldiers led by the three heroes of the Civil War, Custer, Major Reynold, and Captain Frederick, advanced in the valley.

According to the scouts' knowledge, large numbers of Indians were found in the Black Mountain valleys.

Therefore, the three men did not divide their troops into three groups as usual in history, but gathered together in one place to search in the Black Mountain Valley.

…………

In the distance, among the coalition forces of the Sioux and Cheyenne tribes, chief Fengma and shaman Sitting Bull greeted the envoy of Hong Yun, the leader of another Sioux tribe.

"Clan Chief Fengma, Chief Hongyun asked me to send you a message. We have received help from white people and a large number of weapons and equipment."

"Our reinforcements are on the way now. We ask the Fengma Clan Chief to lead the enemy to the Little Bighorn River, where we will fight the enemy decisively."

The envoy of the leader of the Hongyun tribe said that there are about 5000 warriors from the Fengma tribe, and there are also about 5000 warriors from the Hongyun tribe.

Comparing the number of US troops, the Indians are definitely on the advantage side.

"Has Chief Hongyun received assistance from white people? Then please go back and tell Chief Hongyun that we will lead the Americans to the Little Bighorn River and ask him to speed up his march."

Chief Fengma replied that as members of the same clan, Fengma and Hongyun had a very good relationship with each other.

"understood."

The envoy from the leader of the Red Cloud tribe hurried back, but Wind Horse and Sitting Bull were looking at each other. They were a little shocked by the fact that they had received help from a white man.

"Clan Chief, if Chief Hongyun can really arrive in time, then our chances of winning against the Americans will be much greater."

There is no doubt about the bravery of the native Indians, but their backwardness in weapons and equipment has always put them at a disadvantage in duels.

"Yes, but I am a little curious about how Chief Hongyun got assistance from white people. If the assistance can be expanded, we can protect our land."

Mustang couldn't help but fantasize, then looked at Sitting Bull and said: "Find dozens of soldiers to lead the Americans to the Little Bighorn River."

"As ordered!"

…………

"These Indians are really a bunch of uncivilized savages. We must teach them a lesson this time." Major Reno mocked disdainfully.

"It's just a group of savages who actually dare to cut off the heads of us Americans and destroy our bodies." Colonel Custer, who was standing beside him, echoed.

In the original Battle of Little Bighorn River in history, Colonel Custer was dumped by the Indians because he underestimated the enemy and advanced alone, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army.

"These Indians are like mice. If I find them, I will make them look good."

As soon as Major Renault finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the distance.

"boom!"

A U.S. cavalryman in front fell off his horse, and the U.S. troops immediately began to commotion.

Before Major Reno could react, dozens of gunshots were fired, killing more than a dozen American soldiers.

The Indians behind the hillside, after firing, turned their heads and started running.

Colonel Custer reacted immediately and fired a shot into the sky with his pistol. "Everyone found cover and prepared to fight back."

The American troops began to scatter for cover, aiming their guns at the spot where the Indians had just fired.

"superior."

A group of U.S. troops began to advance toward the hillside. The first U.S. soldier to reach the hillside turned around and waved.

"No Indians, run away!"

The soldiers' shouts reached below.

"Damn it, let them run away! Let's chase them!"

Captain Frederick said angrily that he wanted to chase the Indians.

"Don't worry, they are obviously trying to lure us over, and there will probably be a large-scale ambush ahead." Colonel Custer said cautiously.

"But Colonel, this also means that their large troops are right in front. I believe that the fully armed American soldiers can defeat the Indians' machinations." Major Reno's words revealed his confidence. The Indians with guns and rocks are not It may cause great harm to their US Army.

"Indeed, but we still have to be careful. We have to be careful about the surrounding terrain and try not to be led into dangerous terrain. The Indians cannot cause major damage to us."

Captain Frederick also agreed, but he was more cautious than Major Renault.

Colonel Custer thought for a while and nodded slowly.

"Chase, but be careful not to be led to a dangerous place."

"Yes!"

The US military team began to move again.

At this time, the Indians were also leading the way. From time to time, a few or a dozen agile warriors would appear to remind them.

For a moment, the two parties seemed to have reached some purpose. The Indians' purpose was to lead the US military to their destination.

The US military obviously knew the Indians' purpose, but still followed them closely.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. At this time, the direction of the US military's march is clearly the Little Bighorn River.

…………

"Chief, we can reach the Little Bighorn River in one more day's walk. I think it's time for the warriors to rest for a while."

Among the reinforcements of Chief Hongyun, Heiyan suggested.

“When you arrive at a place, you can find a secluded place and rest without any rush.

If you are tired now, you will save a few tribesmen from dying when you fight the Americans later. "

At this time, the leader of the Hongyun clan was also a little helpless. The long march had already severely challenged the physical fitness of the soldiers.

When you get to the Little Bighorn River, hiding and resting on the spot is the best way. Not only can this help you figure out the terrain in advance, but you can also face the enemy in the best possible condition.

According to the news from Fengma, it will take at least 2-3 days for the US military to arrive, so they have enough time to rest.

"Everyone, cheer up. We are very close to our destination. We can rest when we reach our destination."

Chief Hongyun shouted loudly to the people in the team, trying to boost their morale.

"Yes!!!"

The next morning, the American troops who had not rested after being disturbed by the Indians all night continued to set off. The Indians who were like an alarm clock in the early morning appeared again.

There were angry comments among the US military. It can be said that the morale is strong, but the mental state is a bit like a frightened bird.

The soldiers of Chief Hongyun finally arrived at the Little Bighorn River, hiding in a valley about two kilometers away.

"Now everyone rests where they are. We are here, waiting for the appearance of the US military."

At this time, most of the people in the Hongyun tribe were exhausted, and their cheers were much smaller.

The soldiers of the Red Cloud tribe took out the dry food and water bottles they carried with them, which were all filled with dried bison meat. Most Indians made a living by hunting North American bison.

A new day is coming soon, and night gradually falls over everyone. At this time, the American army is getting closer and closer to their station.

The oppressive feeling of an approaching storm quickly spread among everyone. But the Indians were not afraid. After all, they were fighting to protect their hometown and land.

These strong Indian men holding native guns have been different from other ethnic groups since they were young. They have been fighting with the American army.

Even though they had not received professional military training, they were simply taught by Felipe how to use firearms and grenades.

But their cohesion and morale are so high that the U.S. military cannot compare.

As the Spaniard Felipe, the teacher who taught them how to use firearms, said: "If you don't defeat them on the battlefield, then after they defeat you, they will come and kill your family members!"

The honest and honest Indians seemed to know for the first time what it means to regard death as if it were home.
