Chapter 37: The Guardian of the Americas
"This time the harvest is good, a total of 10,257 male Indian warriors can be pulled, the Spaniards are too arrogant, only sent 3 infantry regiments, not to mention, but also divided into two parts of the army, they really treat us as fish belly to be slaughtered.

Zhao Dutian held up a glass of fruity drink made by the Indians, and said to Almodo while drinking.
Almodo didn't pick up his own cup, he was not as confident as Zhao Dutian, although he himself had killed many white colonists, but in the face of the real white army, he still had a natural sense of fear in his eyes, and the white colonization process has always been accompanied by gunpowder smoke and large-scale massacres!
"Zhao Dutian, do you really plan to pull all the Indian soldiers who have been united to the battlefield? Aren't you afraid that after this battle, all the Indian tribes who have taken refuge in us will turn against us? ”
Almodo asked rhetorically, he himself was more inclined to attack the logistics of the Spaniards, and a small-scale war of attrition, and did not want to go head-to-head with the formed Spanish infantry regiments, even if it was a head-on battle in the forest and such an open terrain, Almodo did not want to fight!
Those small Indian tribes who took refuge in it, once they suffered heavy losses, it would immediately become a feud between the Yuma and the Han tribes!
They followed the Dahan tribe and the Yuma tribe because they wanted a better life, not to throw a few tribal warriors into the bottomless pit of war!
As long as those white people do not infringe on the survival of the Indian tribes, they are too lazy to go against the powerful white people, and now it seems that the white army is only targeting the Yuma and the Han tribes, can we still let those of us who are little brothers shed blood?
That's better to turn against you!
Amodo, who knew the temperament of the Indians, was very worried that after a large number of casualties in the war, the so-called Guardian of the Americas that had been assembled would turn against them on the spot!
The Indian tribes did not have any allegiance to the Han tribe and the Yuma......
"Hehe, Almodo, I'm not letting those American convoys go to death, we are fighting side by side, and we will definitely win, believe me, in the face of victory, all opposition will disappear!"
Zhao Dutian said confidently.
After speaking, Zhao Dutian pulled Almodo, who had a hesitant face, and walked to the simple jungle topographic map spread on the wooden table, on which the symbols representing the Spaniards and his own symbols were rudely placed.
This shoddy topographic map is naturally Zhao Dutian's gadget, and Almodo is also very fond of this kind of small thing that is clear at a glance, so the two of them have been making strategic estimates based on this thing for the past few days.
"Although the Guardian of the Americas has been formed, those Indian warriors have their own careful thoughts, and if they go out to fight, they must be supervised by the strong army of our Han tribe, and these Indians who are disorganized ......"
Zhao Dutian said this, and was interrupted by Almodo dissatisfied: "That's advocating freedom, not loose discipline!" Not all Americans like to live in a frame like the people of the Han tribe! ”
Zhao Dutian pinched the corners of his eyebrows, and replied helplessly: "Okay, okay, those soldiers who advocate freedom in the Guardian of the Americas, because they belong to different tribes, if they are scattered to attack the Spaniards, they will definitely do a bad job, right?" ”
Almodo looked up at Zhao Dutian: "Do you want me to lead someone to block a group of Spaniards?" You can have no worries during the period when you can attack one of the Spaniards head-on, but do you think that the strength of the Yuma alone can withstand the Spanish army of an infantry regiment? ”
"Oh, no, my friend, of course I'm not asking you to fend off the Spaniards head-on, but just to be in charge of attacking their logistical lines and delaying their advance, well, it's a miniature version of the tactic you came up with, you Yuma are very good at this kind of fighting, aren't you?
Oh, by the way, in order to boost the morale of the 'freedom fighters' of the Conservatories of the Americas, we must win the first battle, so naturally we have to pick a relatively weak Spanish army, which means that I need you to hold the Spaniards of the two infantry regiments here for a week! ”
Almodo listened to Zhao Dutian's request, smiled, and said, "You asked me to take less than 3,000 people to delay the movement of 4,000 Spanish regular troops, and there may be many Cocopa people among them!"
Zhao Dutian, you really look up to the strength of our Yuma people! ”
Zhao Dutian didn't seem to hear the mockery in Almodo's tone, and added seriously: "Half of California's ruling power!" After the war, as long as the Spaniards are driven out, all the territory in southern and western California, our Han tribe will not take a penny, all of them will be yours Yuma, and all frontal battles will be undertaken by the American Escort led by the Han tribe as the main force!
How is it? ”
Almodo put away his smile, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Do you dare to announce the promise you just made at the tribal assembly?" ”
Zhao Dutian smiled, and he smiled very happily.
"Of course, the Han tribe will never break its word, I am only interested in the gold of the Spaniards, and I have not so much patience for ruling the Indians who are accustomed to freedom, you know, I like my subordinates who are disciplined and disciplined."
"Yes, we Yuma will delay the Spanish army coming from the south, but our men will not be able to stop it for a week, only 5 days at most, and the Spaniards and their Cocopa allies will enter central California, and I hope to get the good news that you have completely annihilated the western Spanish invasion army before then."
Zhao Dutian raised the glass of homemade juice and smiled at Almodo: "I wish us a victorious start and happy cooperation, cheers!" ”
Almodo passively picked up the cup and dried it, and after drinking it, he smacked his lips and said: "Seriously, if I hadn't met your tribe here at the beginning, I wouldn't dare to see you as an Indian tribe like us, the customs of your Han tribe are really strange......"
"Cheers, in our Han tribe, means victory and friends." Zhao Dutian explained.
"Well, there seems to be a custom among the white colonists, doesn't it?"
Almodo said meaningfully.
Zhao Dutian, who had already tempered his face like a pure fire, shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Maybe it's a coincidence, after all, the skin color of our Han tribe dooms me to never be one of the powerful white colonists." ”
Almodo thought about it, there was not much difference between the appearance of the yellow race and the Indians, and it could be seen at a glance that they were two races compared to the white people......
Maybe the Han tribe is just an Indian tribe that worships white culture, who called the white colonists so powerful?
On the second day, Almodo and Zhao Dutian jointly issued a statement on the expedition, and Zhao Dutian also publicly announced his promise in the assembly of the Yuma tribe and the Dahan tribe, and then, the Indian army, collectively known as the Guardian of the Americas, divided into two ways to meet the Spanish colonists!
