Colonel Diego Rodríguez de Silva-Velázquez (hereinafter referred to as Rodriguez) was a minor Spanish nobleman, a white supremacist racist, so, in order to promote the authority of the Spaniards, in fact, to make a fortune, came to the Spanish colony on the east coast of California, and with his aristocratic status and military experience, he became the commander of the infantry regiment of San Francisco!

He was a belligerent who was determined to invade Indian territory by force, and in his eyes the Indians were worthy of slavery. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's a pity that the Indians love freedom so much that they will even die for it!

Therefore, the Spanish government, lacking manpower, had to adopt a policy of co-opting some and insignificant Indian tribes, the Indians in North America were completely different from the Incas in South America, and if they wanted to enslave one Indian, they would have to be stained with the blood of at least 10 Indians, which was not a good thing for Spain's overstretched army and huge colonies!

This made Colonel Rodriguez feel that he had lost his usefulness, until a great Han tribe who did not know whether to live or die brutally killed the noble Spanish envoy and occupied a gold mine with good production!

This is simply an excuse from God to kill him!

Originally, the Spanish colonial government only wanted to send troops from the well-armed southern colonies, but Colonel Rodriguez used the death of the Spanish envoy to publicize it in San Francisco to gain supporters for his troops.

As a result, the Spaniards, feeling despised by themselves, agreed to Colonel Rodríguez's request for troops.

Colonel Rodriguez had about 2,000 regular army soldiers under his command, well, most of the regular army soldiers in the colonies were actually composed of outcasts and social dregs, and there was still a big gap between the quality of the regular army and the local army......

But in any case, these 2,000 men are also soldiers trained in the regular army, and it may not be possible to deal with the British, but it will be a pleasant trip to deal with the Indians, of course, provided that the battlefield is in an open field enough for Colonel Rodriguez to set up a horizontal formation......

"How far are we from this forest?" Colonel Rodriguez wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and asked the Spanish-speaking Chumash people beside him, the climate in California is very warm, and it is really not an easy task for Colonel Rodriguez to get on the road with a steel cuirass......

Yes, the Spanish army learned the lesson of the last time they were shot by Indian crossbowmen, and each soldier was equipped with a set of steel cuirasses and iron helmets, and when shooting with crossbow weapons, the most vulnerable parts were the head and torso, which protected these two parts, so to speak, the lethality of the bow and crossbow has been infinitely reduced!

Moreover, Indian warriors mainly rely on hand-to-hand combat to win, and cuirasses and helmets can also achieve a lot of results in hand-to-hand combat!

After all, the Indians in the California region were far behind the Indians in the French and British colonies, and there were not many muskets, and the cuirass was still very useful here!

"Sir, if you go ten miles further, there is an open space in front of us, where we can rest."

Colonel Rodriguez looked at the lush towering trees, and when he heard that he had to walk ten miles, he couldn't help but complain: "Damn the forest, I hate the primeval jungles of the Americas!" ”

At this moment, sporadic musket fire suddenly came from the front of Colonel Rodriguez!

Immediately afterward, a volley of gunfire rang out!

Colonel Rodriguez heard the sound of the platoon of guns, and the corners of his mouth hung a cruel arc, he knew that this kind of neat platoon of guns, the Indians would never be able to shoot!

Soon, a Spanish soldier ran over on a fallen leaf: "Report to the sir, a group of Indians was found ahead, and we repelled it, did you pursue it?" ”

Colonel Rodriguez shouted: "Why not pursue? Grab those Indian barbarians and hang them! ”

After giving the order, Colonel Rodriguez held the corner of his eye and the Chumash guide beside him did not look very good, knowing that this battle would depend on the help of these Native Americans, he smiled and comforted: "The Chumash are our Spaniards' friends, naturally different from those barbarians. ”

After Colonel Rodriguez's order was delivered, hundreds of Spanish infantrymen, armed with bayonets and flintlock pistols, chased after the fleeing Indian warriors!

Since most of the battles to exterminate the Indian tribes were in jungle or semi-jungle terrain, coupled with the preciousness of artillery, Colonel Rodriguez did not carry artillery, in his eyes, this was not a war at all, just a suppression of bandits, those heavy and expensive artillery, no need to pull over.

The charging Spanish infantry didn't go far when a covered bush in front of them was suddenly pushed down, revealing a huge ballista!

The Spanish soldiers who rushed to the first row looked at the cold, spear-like crossbow arrows on the ballista in amazement, and couldn't help but draw a cross on their chests: "Oh God, the Indians actually have this?!" ”

Whoosh!

10 ballistae fired long bolts one after another, and the Spanish infantry charging queue that was close at hand completely disrupted the trap!

Subsequently, the swordsmen and the Guardian of the Americas emerged from all directions, directly surrounding this Spanish infantry!

The swordsmen first fired a volley at the panicked Spanish infantry with the arquebuses in their hands, and then threw away the arquebuses and killed them with their swords!

This time, Zhao Dutian did not use crossbowmen who did not work very well, and the crossbowmen were all arranged to guard the house in the lair......

With an absolute numerical superiority, the Guardian of the Americas directly crushed the Spanish infantry who had lost their formation!

Colonel Rodriguez soon received the news of the collapse of the front team, and the racist drew his sword at his waist and shouted: "Queue! Lined up! Defensive formation, no retreat! ”

The Spanish infantry behind him still showed basic military literacy at this time, and quickly formed a thin horizontal formation, Colonel Rodriguez looked at the thousands of Indian soldiers who rushed up with his own rout, his face flashed hideously, and the saber in his hand pointed forward: "Ready!" ”

"Sir, there are quite a few of our own people in front of us!"

Colonel Rodriguez glared at the adjutant and said, "I'm talking about preparing to raise a gun!! ”

The Spanish infantry, reflexively, raised their muskets, crouched in the front row, and stood in the back.

Two muskets in front of you, and behind you are the other musketeers who are ready!

"Fire!"
