Rebirth of the Spanish Empire.

Chapter 59: Fighting with the US Army

As night gradually fell, the soldiers of the Hongyun tribe began to prepare for rest, leaving only the soldiers on guard.

"Lord Patriarch, Patriarch Fengma sent someone to deliver a message."

The leader of the Hongyun clan opened it and saw clearly written in the letter the time when the US military would arrive.

The US military does not have the habit of traveling at night, usually only during the day. However, they are still cautious in their defenses at night, and the Indians do not get any good opportunities.

"Send the order, and the tribesmen in charge of security should brace themselves. The US military may arrive here tomorrow, so be prepared!"

Chief Hongyun gave the decisive order to prepare his people for the battle.

"As ordered!"

The next morning, the U.S. military was still playing the chasing game with the Indians, but it had already bored them.

"Colonel, the Little Bighorn River is ahead. A large number of Indians can be hidden nearby. I don't think we can continue to move forward."

In this regard, Captain Frederick said. Because there are many hills there, it is easy to set up an ambush.

"Send scouts to take a look, but it doesn't matter where the main force of the Indians is. The main force of our army is here, so there is nothing to worry about."

Colonel Custer's confidence came from the strength of the U.S. Army and his disdain for the Indians. In Bijing, the weapons used by the two are different.

"I understand. Then order the troops to move forward at full speed. We will catch up with these hateful Indians today."

Major Renault continued, looking at the disappearing Indians in the distance with a ferocious expression, the resentment in his heart getting heavier and heavier.

The harassment from the Indians is like flies. Maybe at night when you are just falling asleep, there will suddenly be dozens of gunshots and then quietly leave.

The direction of the Fengma Tribe's advance was slightly deviated at this time. They did not want to bring the enemy to the front, but they hoped to bring the US military team to the side of the Red Cloud Tribe.

Then with the advantage of numbers, we can even complete the encirclement of the US military and even carry out encirclement and annihilation.

"Colonel, aren't there a large group of Indians in front of us? Are they looking for death?"

Major Reno asked in response. There were at least four to five thousand Indian troops in front, and they were even ready to attack.

"Inform the troops and prepare for battle."

I thought there was some conspiracy, but I didn't expect that I just chose a battlefield. According to the intelligence, there were only about 5,000 soldiers of the Fengma tribe.

The U.S. military began to slowly line up, even if the number of Indians on the opposite side was several times their number, they were not afraid at all.

If the 1600-strong US military cannot defeat 5000 native Indians, it will really make the international community laugh out loud. (With the exception of our Italian Army, of course.)

Therefore, even if there are twice as many enemies, they are not afraid at all.

Blowing the trumpet, the American infantry advanced slowly under the cover of the cavalry.

The Indians lined up in a loose formation and began to attack with guns and bows. Although they had little effect, they finally did some damage.

Finally, the U.S. Army reached the effective shooting distance, and with the officer's command, the infantry began to fire a volley.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The infantry's shooting had a miraculous effect in an instant, and a large number of Indians fell down.

The Indians' formation began to become chaotic and they retreated. This was also a helpless method. If you wanted to reduce unnecessary casualties, this was the most useful method.

Moreover, the real main force is not them, but the Hongyun tribe in the mountains on the right. They are just bait.

The battle of advancing and retreating lasted for almost half an hour, while the red clouds on the hillside on the right were calmly waiting for the US military to enter the best strike area.

"Fire!" Finally, the US military reached the best offensive position, and the leader of the Hongyun clan loudly ordered everyone.

Countless Indians poked their heads out from the hillside, with long and thin Vielli rifles sticking out. "Bang, bang, bang," the gunshots sounded like water droplets, like a heavy rainstorm falling suddenly.

The first thing to suffer was the cavalry troops covering the flanks. The hit cavalry fell off their horses one after another. The frightened horses roared, and the scene instantly fell into chaos.

"Damn it, turn around quickly, the ambush here is the main force." Colonel Custer immediately ordered the infantry to turn around.

"Why are there so many Indians and so many guns in their hands?"

Major Reno's face was full of shock. He felt very unbelievable.

"Now is not the time to think about these things. Frederick, lead the first and second knights to break through the Indians in front. We cannot let them continue to be confused."

Frederick took the order and began to prepare. The cavalry of about 400 people from the two knights was quite a force.

The soldiers of the Red Cloud tribe began to throw grenades at the US military, and explosions began to occur one after another in the US military queue.

Colonel Custer's eyes were splitting, and he turned to look at Major Reno: "Quick! Let the infantry turn their heads quickly. We can't let them blow up. We need to fight back!"

The Indians have more advanced rifles than the US military, and are even equipped with grenades in large quantities. Everything is full of doubts.

"Quick, messenger, go back quickly and tell the U.S. government that there is a foreign government supporting the Indians, and it is most likely the British. Leave now."

Colonel Custer grabbed the messenger and conveyed the order seriously.

The Montana Territory, located in the interior of the western United States, could only provide support to the Indians from Canada to the north, that is, the British Empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty Colonel!" After the orderer saluted, he began to escape on horseback. Judging from Colonel Custer's words, his mission was very important.

Colonel Custer looked at the Indians in the distance shooting at the American troops, and then glanced at the north, with hatred in his eyes.

Colonel Custer, who had participated in the Civil War, had an extremely poor sense of the British.

After all, if there had not been assistance to the South from the British, it would have been a disaster. During the American Civil War, the military did not and would not suffer heavy casualties.

The cavalry led by Captain Frederick began to charge against the Wind Horse tribe.

The native guns in the hands of the Indians were unable to stop the advance of the American cavalry.

For Indians without cavalry, the American cavalry charge was simply a nightmare.

The Indians of the Red Cloud Tribe spread out in all directions and began to shoot at the American troops. Their natural marksmen made their shooting extremely accurate.

The U.S. military was forced to abandon its formation and began to spread out to fight back, but the numbers were ultimately at a disadvantage.

Moreover, the US military had no way of escaping. Being alone in this valley was no less difficult than surviving in the wilderness, and it was impossible for the entire group to escape on the Indian home ground.

The Indians' gunfire and grenades became more frequent, and soldiers on both sides began to fall one after another.

At this time, the Little Bighorn River is like a life-devouring machine, and the living lives are as insignificant as weeds.

Captain Frederick's cavalry began a suicidal charge against the Red Cloud tribe.

The Indians have completed the siege of the US military and can only break through from the relatively loose Red Cloud tribe.

At this time, Colonel Custer looked sadly at the Indians in all directions. The infantry were almost unable to escape.

And he will stay here with these soldiers to fight against these Indians.
