The Apache tribe at the foot of the mountain does not seem as peaceful and quiet as the villages of the agricultural era, in fact it is noisy many times. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info For thousands of years, the men went hunting the animals of the plateau with not very sharp weapons and tools, while the women collected all the edible food in the land. For a long time, their lives were hard, with hunger and death accompanying them. Even if explorers or caravans from Europe and the Tang Dynasty arrived, exchanging some daily necessities with them would not be enough to make any major changes to their living conditions.

It was already getting dark, and some sporadic bonfires were lit to give some warmth to the Apache people at this time. Winter will be difficult for all Indians. Especially in the central region, the Apache people may face severe cold in the winter of minus ten or twenty degrees, and they are like some wintering animals, stocking up on all the food they can in advance, and then stop hunting and gathering, and stay in the tribe to reduce their energy consumption.

A few young people in the tribe are patrolling, and even in winter some wild beasts will attack the tribe, so it is necessary to be on guard. Several Apache youths chatted, and one of them said, "Are we really going to war with the Tang people in the south?" But the Tang tribe is very strong, there are so many people, and there are so many muskets, we can usually go to the tribe of the Tang people in the south (Phoenix) to exchange useful things, if we really conflict with the Tang people, I'm afraid we will be unlucky. ”

Another young man said, "There is no way to do this, the patriarch has already agreed to the request from Baishan's side. After all, we and Baishan are a family, and the patriarch also believes that the people of Baishan can provide us with enough supplies. ”

"What was given? Isn't it just a bunch of metal that can't be used? The patriarch was also too easily deceived by the guy named Esquart. That Esquart wasn't a good guy. He is said to have incited the people of his own tribe. killed the original chief directly, and even his father, the witch doctor of the tribe, was unwilling to be with him. Such a person will not be blessed by the god of fire and the god of the water and the moon. ”

When a few people said this, they were still patting their bodies to keep warm, the clothes they wore were simply sewn animal skins and special fibers, which were not so warm, and some Indians had a piece of clothing that was exchanged from the Tang people, which was much warmer.

This time. One of them suddenly became alert and said, "I seem to hear something." ”

Then he immediately lay down and lay his ear on the ground, these hunters, who have been fighting against nature for many years, have their own special skills, by which they can hear some very small noises, and thus judge danger and opportunity.

"This ...... There were a lot of horses' hooves, at least dozens of horses, coming towards us at a very fast speed, getting closer and closer. ”

"It can't be someone from Baishan."

"No way. The people from Baishan didn't say they were coming, and they didn't ask us to do anything for them recently! ”

These people shouted a warning to the tribesmen. And in more than ten seconds, a group of cavalry began to rush down from the high ground on the other side, these cavalrymen used uniform uniforms and held a banner, and Tongtuo people immediately understood: "This is the Tang people!" The Tang people are coming against us! ”

There is no doubt about it, they didn't slow down when they were so close to the tribe, but rushed directly towards their tribe, some guys even had torches in their hands, and the cavalry commander in front of them was holding a saber in his hand, which was obviously like a charge!

The Tuntoapaches each took out their weapons in their improvised longhouses, and they had a certain number of muskets in their hands, but no more than fifteen guns in the whole tribe. It's more about cold weapons, such as stone axes, spears, and the like.

The cavalry that rushed down was naturally the third company of cavalry led by Li Kangfu. After doing a good job of psychological construction, the young lieutenant has put aside distractions and is dedicated to completing his mission. The Tang cavalry, which took the company as the unit of action, did not set up too strong support firepower, on the one hand, Li Kangfu's attacks were all raids, and they directly entered the other party's tribe, which caught people off guard. The Indians themselves were not strong in force and did not pose much threat to the Tang cavalry. In addition, a cavalry company was armed with at least eighteen automatic rifles, which was quite impressive.

The Apache had no ability to hinder the galloping Tang cavalry, and the Apache tribe's tribal defense was very problematic, and there was no way to hinder the Tang army from entering their village. A few Tuntoapaches with muskets still wanted to fight back against the Tang people, but they were facing the cavalry company in the cavalry regiment, which was the earliest formed cavalry unit established by the Tang Dynasty. Obviously, the Tang people are not a people on horseback, but the systematic training and traditional upbringing have made this cavalry unit have the ability and courage to not lose to any of its peers in the world, and also have excellent skills.

Even on the back of a galloping horse, the riders still have a super shooting feeling, and many of them can even hit targets tens of meters and hundreds of meters away with a riding gun in one hand. When they saw the Apache attempting to shoot, the cavalry immediately raised their guns and fired, and several Apaches who did not even have cover were immediately defeated, while the unhindered cavalry rushed into the tribe that had escaped the Apache.

The Apaches who had just run out of the longhouse tried to resist with their weapons, but the well-trained Tang cavalry were all quick-eyed, and they rode up, brandished their sabers, and directly slashed and killed these resisting guys. The cavalry with automatic rifles fired at the guys who rushed over.

Li Kangfu's face sank like water, and he did not have the slightest frenzy of battle, but as a company commander, he took the lead and cut down two Apache men in a row. He pulled out a melon grenade and threw it directly into a longhouse, and he couldn't care who was in the house. He now has only pure killing in his heart, cold and simple, which is not an easy thing to do, but he can only force himself to do so, to fulfill his mission.

The Apache people fell apart in the face of the fierce Tang cavalry, and the tribe was finally turned into a sea of fire. And the cavalry, which became more and more active, began to play the same scene all over the plateau. A few days later, even the Mecha Regiment was in place and began to sweep the surrounding area, and Esquat, who was in the White Mountain Tribe, did not consider that the Tang people's reaction could be so fast.
