Chapter 44: Betrayal
Although Almodo's men were defeated, it was a real blow to the Spaniards and Cocopas, and the Spanish invading army had to stop its advance to treat the wounded and replenish ammunition. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The advanced cold weapons of the Han tribe at an endless level have completely refreshed the Spaniards' perception of backward Indian tribes!
In particular, the formation and discipline of the opposing swordsmen's formation, organization and discipline attracted the attention of the Spaniards!
It is understandable that the Indians had good weapons, but when did the Indians' army become so regularized?
That's a big problem!
On the American continent, the Indians outnumbered the white colonists!
If the Indian tribes really learned how to train a regular army, as long as a strong tribe rose up and united the Indian organization to train the army, it could create a great obstacle to the colonization of the Spanish Empire!
The commander of the invading Spanish Imperial Army immediately sent messengers to send the information of this battle back to the colonial government in the south, and the Indian tribes in the California region must be taken seriously!
The stagnation of the Spanish army gave Almodo some respite, and Almodo, who had seen the true strength of the Spanish firearms regular army, began to waver in his heart whether to continue to resist the white colonists.
The elites of those Han tribes are already among the best troops in the Indian tribes in Almodo's eyes, and they are such elites who are just one or two more rounds of salvos than ordinary Indian soldiers in the face of the musket salvo of the Spanish army......
There is no chance of winning head-to-head!
Almodo now understands why Zhao Dutian is so willing to hand over all his troops to his command, and Zhao Dutian has long known that with these people, he can't defeat the combined forces of the Spaniards and Cocopas!
After the defeat, Almodo also learned how lucky Zhao Dutian's victory was by asking the soldiers of the Guardian of the Americas under his command!
It was just the advantage of the terrain and the arrogance of the Spanish army.
Unfortunately, with the Cocopa people making up for the shortcomings of the Spaniards, Almodo simply could not replicate Zhao Dutian's victory......
However, even if it is a failure, it is better for Zhao Dutian to hold the army in his own hands than to hand it over to his ally, what is the reason that prompted Zhao Dutian to completely ignore the terrible consequences of defeat and hand over the army to himself without hesitation?
Almodo couldn't help but ask himself.
Before, he thought that Zhao Dutian sincerely wanted to cooperate with the Yuma tribe to fight against the Spaniards, but after the defeat, Almodo realized that even if they added the Yuma people, it would be difficult to win this war!
At best, it was just delaying the Spaniards' attack......
Wait a minute!
Almodo suddenly realized that Zhao Dutian's real purpose was probably to use himself and the Guardian of the Americas to delay the pace of the Spaniards' attack!
This......
Could it be that the Han tribe still has any hole cards that can't be done?
Almodo is now very conflicted, hoping that Zhao Dutian really has hole cards to turn the tables, and also hopes that Zhao Dutian has actually been forced into a desperate situation by the Spaniards like himself......
The Han tribe has hole cards, and it is naturally a good thing for the Indian tribes in central California to be able to drive out the Spaniards, however, at that time, will the Yuma tribe still be able to maintain its current status?
If the Dahan tribe and the Yuma tribe were defeated by the Spaniards, the Yuma tribe would probably only be vassals of the whites, and there would even be a risk of being slaughtered by the Spanish colonists!
Perhaps, it's time for me to make some plans for myself!
With an inexplicable look in his eyes, Almodo looked at the soldiers of the Han tribe who were resting in the distance, and then at the American Guardian Army, who had no intention of fighting.
These Guardians of the Americas are useless, and it is impossible for them to follow the Yuma tribe sincerely, so I will leave these cannon fodder to the Han tribe to resist the Spaniards, and it will also buy time for me to lead my tribe out of California!
Unwilling to be swallowed up by the Han tribe, let alone exterminated by the Spaniards, Almodo finally made up his mind that he would completely leave California with a small number of people and move to the French colony!
California at this time was much larger than the state of California that was later divided into the United States!
Later, most of New Mexico was incorporated into what is now California!
Almodo's decision was to make a long migration to Louisiana, a colony founded by the French!
There are not many French people there, it is said that it is a colony of the French, but in fact, most of the places are inhabited by Indian tribes, and the French can't control it!
As long as Almodo is far away from the colonial cities established by the French, he can survive with his tribe!
Naturally, Almodo can't blatantly throw away the remnants of the American Guardian and the remnants of the Han tribe to run away, if that happens, maybe the remnants of the Han tribe will not give up and continue to resist the Spaniards, but those American guards will definitely disappear!
Almodo gathered all the leaders, and then lied that he had planned to ambush the Spaniards, grouped the remnants of the elite of the Han tribe and the Guardian of the Americas, and temporarily handed over the command to the brave swordsman sent by Zhao Dutian, and actively monitored the movements of the Spaniards, while Almodo left the large army with the Yuma people in the name of attracting the main Spanish force.
Almodo used lies to directly sell most of the Guardian of the Americas and the elite of the Han tribe!
However, the Yuma did not cause the collapse of the Guardian of the Americas, and under the leadership of the brave swordsman, a more determined resistant, they went all out to stop the attack of the Spanish army!
Before the sacrifice of the brave swordsman, Zhao Dutian's goal of delaying the advance of the Spaniards can be said to have been achieved by most of them!
The price of achieving this goal was the complete collapse and disintegration of the Convoy of the Americas, the loss of the remnants of the elite of the Great Han, the death of the brave swordsman under the volley of a small squad of Spanish musketeers, and the complete disintegration of the formation of swordsmen and crossbowmen.
Pursued by the jungle warriors of the Kokopa, none of the remaining swordsmen and crossbowmen returned to the lair of the Han tribe......
When Zhao Dutian got the news that the front-line army was defeated and Amodo ran away with his own people, the Dahan tribe had really grown!
Because, the gun and ammunition factory, the line infantry barracks, the artillery factory, the artillery camp and other buildings have been successfully completed with the efforts of thousands of villagers day and night!
The next thing to do is to consume resources and drive a formed army from the barracks!
