Chapter 856: Aboriginal Coalition Army
Some of the fleeing Shoshone were furious, and the Great Eastern Kingdom treacherously killed not only their lords, but also invaded their homeland, leaving them homeless!
Enraged, the Shoshone stopped their private revenge, dragging their families and families to help the old and the young, and lobbying some powerful tribes.
Originally, these big tribes did not plan to send troops, and the various tribes of the Indians, there are hundreds in the Americas, and they are basically separate cultural circles, and they do not interact with each other, and only meet and fight when they grab territory.
However, Daitokoku's expansion is too fast!
Not only were the Shoshone invaded, but the other tribes were also plundered by small groups of Eastern troops.
Soon, these tribes reached an agreement and united to fight against the Great Eastern Kingdom.
The Indians were not only interested in protecting their homeland, but also in the wealth and weapons in their hands.
If their tribe can get this powerful weapon through this battle, then it will be much more comfortable to go out and grab land in the future.
Under the call of the chief of the Shoshone Wind River tribe, the West Shoshone and Zuni people continued to converge, and the invited Comanche people also met with the Wind River tribe.
The Komanche people were separated from the Shoshone Wind River tribe and were the most powerful of all the tribes, and now their appearance has skyrocketed the strength of the entire alliance, and everyone's confidence has been greatly increased.
After eating and drinking, tens of thousands of allied troops from more than a dozen large and small tribes embarked on the road of the westward expedition.
Dongsheng City, the temporary capital of the Great Eastern Kingdom, has begun to take on the scale of a small city.
However, there is no city here, only a forest of houses, in Hong Chengchou's eyes, there are lambs to be slaughtered all around, why bother to enclose his tiger in the city?
The Dongdu army not only brought the army, but also many Qing elites from all walks of life such as doctors, carpenters, blacksmiths, etc., and even several feng shui masters brought several.
Hong Chengchou is not stupid, if there are no people, how can his army supply firearms?
The only thing that Dadong lacks now is a woman who will pass on the lineage to the soldiers, but he doesn't worry about this, the land and women, the heroic soldiers will naturally take the initiative to get it!
In the humble "palace", Hong Chengchou carefully tasted the Tieguanyin in his hometown, and he didn't dare to be as extravagant as usual.
The more you drink this thing, the less you drink, if you can't find the Franco machine man, I'm afraid that he can only drink this little stock tea in his life.
Hong Chengchou lay on the Taishi chair, thinking silently in his heart: "The surname is Zhu, I am settling in Dongsheng Shenzhou at this moment, see what else you can do to me!" ”
At this time, Hong Chengchou's eldest son, Hong Shiming, rushed over and said anxiously all the way: "Father, it's not good, the local natives have been killed!" ”
Hong Chengchou frowned and said, "You are the prince, what are you panicking about!" A rabble, why make such a fuss, how many people came? ”
Only then did Hong Shiming react, he was the "prince" of Dadongguo, why panic? Think about when Emperor Tianwu was the crown prince, how arrogant was that? (Hong Shiming is two years younger than Zhu Cihong)
Prince Hong replied: "Back to my father, according to the observation of his sons, there are about thirty or forty thousand people, with unknown weapons and equipment, and no cavalry. ”
Hong Chengchou smiled, a group of lambs is good!
With the beginning of the establishment of my Great Eastern Kingdom, it's time to gain a firm foothold in this land through a great victory!
Moreover, I also want to try the feeling of crushing the enemy, just like the Eight Banners Army being crushed by the army of the Ming Dynasty.
Hong Chengchou said in high spirits: "Order the king of Jingnan to stay in the camp, and all the rest will participate in the battle, and I will drive the expedition in person!" ”
Zuoguang, the king of Jingnan, is Hong Chengchou's old subordinate first, and he is also the old team of Hong Bing, and he is the most trusted person of Hong Chengchou.
Three days later, the Native Coalition continued its march towards Dongshengcheng, led by 2,000 Indians sweeping the road.
Dressed in colorful checkerboard pattern clothes, they picked up stones and grass on the side of the road as they went.
Immediately after that, three groups of Indians dressed in different colors of clothing, singing and dancing.
Further on, there were large groups of Indian warriors, carrying huge metal plates and gold and silver objects, and surrounded the chiefs of the various tribes.
These chiefs sit on wooden brackets wrapped in silver skin, which is called a sedan chair for high-ranking Chinese officials.
Apparently, these chiefs were very entertaining and respectful, and their shoulders were surrounded by colorful parrot feathers and decorated with gold and silver ornaments, which were carried on the shoulders of dozens of samurai.
The pomp of the chiefs was great, however, the pomp of the Emperor of the Great Eastern Kingdom, Hong Chengchou, was even greater!
Sixteen people carried Luan, the best material embroidered into dozens of flags, if not just crossed to the east, the conditions are not good, according to the standards of the Chinese emperor, the flags must be at least hundred!
It was such a guard of honor, and in the eyes of the Indian chiefs, it was also extremely luxurious.
In particular, the heavily armed Eastern Pro-Army, who wore armor leaves, held weapons, and rode on war horses, showing even more might.
The Indians had no armor and had never seen this kind of metal worn on their bodies, and they did not know much about metal, and most of it was only used on works of art and tableware of the nobility.
There were also the war horses of the Eastern Army, the Indians had never seen horses, and they regarded the cavalry of the Eastern Kingdom as half-man, half-horse monsters.
Historically, the Spanish came to North America in the sixteenth century, and the Indians learned about horses, which they did not have before, let alone raise and train horses.
It wasn't until forty years later, when the Spaniards set foot in the area, that Comanche began to train horses, and formed a powerful cavalry, galloping and clashing with white Americans, and also gave rise to a unique horse culture, known as a people on horseback.
Now the Comanche people in the Indian coalition army, looking at the war horses in the enemy's formation, really showed surprise and panic.
The chieftain of the Wind River tribe of Shoshone sat steadily on a small, richly decorated saddle stool, dressed in brocade and embroidered with a crown on his head, and a huge necklace made of emeralds around his neck.
The aboriginal coalition army sang a loud song and entered the vast warship, which seemed to crowd every corner of the land, and their number was ten times greater than that of the eastern army!
The outfit of the aboriginal chiefs made the eyes of the soldiers of the Eastern Army shine one by one, and they were all valuable gold and silver!
Similarly, Hong Chengchou's Luan Driver and the attire of the soldiers of the Eastern Army also made the aboriginal coalition army think about it.
Both sides have their eyes on each other's things!
Before the battle, Hong Chengchou adhered to the old tradition of Fengtian and sent people to read the edict in front of the battle.
All in all, it can be summed up in one sentence: "Those who go along prosper, and those who go against it die!" Honestly kneel down and be a minion, everything is easy to say! ”
These words were spoken in the Indian language (Shoshone, collectively referred to as Indian).
When the Great Chief of the Shoshone Wind River Tribe heard this, he was immediately furious, felt extremely contemptible, and punched him in the shoulder.
He glanced at the other aboriginal tribal chiefs, and everyone nodded in response, the meaning was very clear, them!
