Bai Nan rode his horse and whipped his horse, and he was followed by the captain of the Indian cavalry, Sumuri, who was now in high spirits, wearing a grand crown of Chumash warriors on his head and red and white oil paint on his face, but he was wearing an American military uniform from the national army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe matter of wearing military uniforms for the Indians also experienced a rebellion from the Indians, because after all, it is difficult to distinguish the Tongwa from other Indian coalition troops from their appearance, and it is also difficult to distinguish equipment from a distance, only military uniforms are more reliable. In the end, even coercion and gali lured these Indian warriors to change into military uniforms, but some of their national characteristics, such as the exaggerated feather crown, were still retained.

Su Muli and other Indian boys felt that they were dressed very stylishly, but Bai Nan only had to cover his face.

Bai Nan did not follow the hunting cavalry, but as the main liaison with the Indian cavalry team among the Indian cavalry, naturally he would not participate in the actual attack, and Zhao Daling would not allow his right-hand man to be so close to the front line, even if the enemy was just a group of Indians using primitive weapons. Bai Nan also had a jeep and five peacekeeping battalion soldiers by his side, but Bai Nan did not want to ride in the car, but rode with the Indian cavalry.

His horse was not a bloody horse or an Arabian horse from the colonies, but an Andalusian horse, a gelding that had crossed the crowd from the Franciscan priests, who were not handsome in gray hair, but who had beautiful skeletons and muscles, and who prized these horses very well, so they kept them well.

In fact, the horses of the Indian cavalry were basically Andalusian horses and other horse breeds from the Spaniards, and these horses became wild horses and were domesticated by the Indians, and the number of them on the West Coast was not too much, crossing the central plain behind the Rocky Mountains and deserts, where there were a large number of North American wild horses.

Bai Nan unfolded a map and pointed out to the Sumuri next to him: "According to the plan, we will start with the stronger tribe, this Tunwa tribe with a population of more than 800 people is one of the strongest in the region, and it is inseparable from the previous attack on our prospecting team, the hunters and the Indian cavalry will jointly encircle the left and right, attack this tribe, we will break into the tribe at night, burn the village with a fire, kill any who resists, and then capture the fleeing people." ”

To be honest, Bai Nan didn't like such things, there was a strong sense of moral torture and the shame of bullying, but he knew that this thing had to be done. The Tunwa had hindered the development of the Los Angeles colony, and they could no longer exist.

Unlike Bai Nan, the young Sumuri had already experienced many inter-tribal conflicts, and although none of them uprooted a tribe, it didn't mean that Sumuri didn't want to do so. Still savage, Sumuri did not think it was immoral to destroy his enemies and seize their living resources and land, but he believed that it was a matter of course, and that battle and blood would bring due glory to men and warriors.

The walkie-talkie in Bai Nan's hand rang, and Liu Fangwu's voice came: "Lieutenant Colonel Bai, I now order your department to launch an attack on the target from the northeast, and our department will soon pick you up from the west, over." ”

"Ordered, done." Bai Nan put down the walkie-talkie, and then said to Su Muri, "Let's march." ”

Su Muri didn't understand what it meant to march, but looking at Bai Nan's performance, he could understand that he was going to lead the cavalry team to charge. His large hand was pressed against his Charge, but he quickly realized that it would ruin the suddenness of the night attack. So Sumuri began to spread the word to the knights around him, and the various Indian languages were at once passed from the cavalry of more than one hundred and sixty people, and the atmosphere seemed to be heated at once.

Su Muri confidently said to Bai Nan: "Bai, we, win!" ”

Bai Nan also smiled: "I'm watching you here." ”

Then Bai Nan left the large army of Indian cavalry and came to the side of the warrior jeep, Su Muri did not pay attention to Bai Nan, but prayed to the indigenous gods he believed in, and when the short prayer was over, Su Muri's expression was extremely determined, he screamed, slapped the horse's buttocks with his whip, and rushed down the hill.

More Indian cavalry rushed down with him, but it was impossible to expect the Indians to have any good fighting discipline, and by the time they were halfway through the distance, excitement and mania had taken over their nerves, and the fellows were already chirping, waking up the sleeping Tunwa tribe over there.

In order to burn the tribe, the knights held torches in addition to their weapons, which looked like a fiery dragon from a distance, and as long as there was a Tongwa with open eyes, they would know that they were attacked.

However, even so, the Tunwa had no time to react, and the Indian tribes on the west coast, who lacked horses, never thought that they would be attacked by such a thing as cavalry, and the cavalry easily rode over the wooden fence of the Tunwa tribe, and the Indian knights, who were full of killing and destruction, immediately threw their torches at the nearest longhouse and tent.

The longhouses and tents were flammable, and when the flames came into contact, they spread immediately, and the panicked Tuwa began to run out of the tents, and they were greeted only by the merciless machetes of the Indian mercenaries. Several Tunwa warriors drew their spears and tried to resist, but the fierce mercenaries slashed and cut off the wooden spears from their heads. In addition, after knocking down the Tongwa with horses, they let the horses' hooves trample on their bodies and trample them to death.

For these Chumash, Serrano, and Kahuila peoples, the Tunwa people are not their compatriots, and today they are like animals in the mountains and forests, their prey.

On the high ground on the west side, Liu Fangwu, who had been waiting, saw the Tongwa tribe on fire, and said to his brother-in-law and adjutant Liu Zhenlong: "See, under the deliberate planning and surprise attack, even the strongest Tongwa tribe cannot resist an organized attack of more than 100 people, even if this is an attack with cold weapons." You also suggested that we borrow artillery from the infantry battalion to bombard first, but now you know that there is no need for this. ”

Liu Zhenlong spat and said: "These natives are also weak, in fact, I proposed to use artillery bombardment, but also to deter and deter them, don't use it in vain." ”

Liu Fangwu said: "We haven't made shells yet, and every shell is precious, so we can say that we can fight it." ”

"Junza, do we still use the hunting horse now? I looked at these two dogs and helped us get things done. ”

Liu Fangwu waved his horsewhip and said with a smile: "I still want to go up, we mentioned it to Lieutenant Colonel Bai, and we will go to answer it, if you can't do it, it's not good, let the comrades out, and go and arrest those who want to escape." ”

"Yes, Junza!"

When more than 100 hunters appeared, the battle came to an end, the Indian cavalry team that set foot on the camp slaughtered the tribe of the Tunwa people, and the hunters arrested those who tried to escape on the periphery.

After daybreak, the hunters counted a total of one hundred and five Tunwa killed and two hundred and thirty-nine wounded, and most of them were captured, a considerable proportion of whom were women, but not many children.

Although the village has been destroyed, there are still some things that have not been destroyed. The hunters were naturally dismissive, but the Indian mercenaries led by Sumuri happily began to search for their loot in the ruins. The promise that the mercenaries would receive a large amount of loot was also an important factor in Bai Nan's ability to assemble this ragtag army.

Instead of following the group of guys to grab the spoils, Su Muri stood beside Bai Nan and gestured with his fingers: "Four, dead, eleven, wounded." ”

Bai Nan nodded and said, "The dead and wounded will receive a bereavement pension from the Los Angeles Military Bureau, and their relatives can get double the loot." ”

Su Muri roughly understood what Bai Nan meant, nodded and didn't say anything more.

The whole campaign against the Tunwa took not even as long as the preparation for the war, and on the fifth day, the last of the Tunwa tribes surrendered to a platoon of hunters without resistance. Because from the next day there was news that if they did not resist, no one would die, but they would be removed from their tribes, and it was not known what they would be asked to do after they were removed.

But the Indians are not completely afraid of death, when too many Tunwa tribes have been uprooted, hundreds of casualties have appeared, cowardice can no longer be blamed, especially some smaller tribes, think that surrender is still a chance to survive, and the battle is the end of the total annihilation.

Through this war, the people who traveled through the colony completely mastered the Los Angeles Basin area, opening up space for the further development of the colony. At the same time, the strong military power of the colony is also displayed in front of the Indians in Southern California, and most of the Indian tribes know that there is a super powerful neighbor in Los Angeles, and if they are provoked, they will be as ugly as the Tongwa people, and they will be wiped out directly.

The war also allowed the colony to acquire more than 5,000 Tunwa slaves, of whom 3,000 were women, especially young women, and the decision-making committee gathered these female captives, and it was almost a tacit matter what the fate of these women would be in the future. There is a serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women in the colonies, which could destabilize the social fabric in the future. And the inclusion of this group of Indian women is obviously advantageous.
