The members of the team for the night attack were quickly identified.

The reason is very simple, after this team completes the attack, they will not look back, and their members are also members of the team who are with Chen Jianqiu and them in search of treasure and the Promised Land.

Naturally, all the members of Chen Jianqiu's team will not be missing, even Holmes has a gun, Chen Jianqiu does not expect this premature geologist to fight bravely to kill the enemy, as long as he can protect himself.

On the Apache side, Geronimo left Locsen behind, and she will lead the remaining tribesmen in the mining stronghold, conceal themselves, and make transfers if necessary, until the treasure hunting team finds a new settlement.

In addition to the turtledove and the high priest, there were eight carefully selected warriors who used repeating rifles and were even more powerful in hand-to-hand combat.

The chief originally wanted to bring more people, but according to Chen Jianqiu's meaning, if there are too many people, the target will be bigger, but it is better to have fewer people, the logistics pressure is small, flexible and mobile, and it is easier to get out.

The purpose of this operation was not to annihilate, but to attract sufficient attention.

In fact, there is another consideration, Chen Jianqiu did not say.

By controlling the number of Apache in the ranks, he maintained a relative balance in the composition of the ranks, and even if the Indians' minds changed, he was able to control the situation immediately and effectively.

That was the kind of situation he didn't want to see, but he had to be prepared.

And so, eighteen warriors, oh no, seventeen warriors and a brave woman, by the time night fell, were ready to go.

In the square in front of the mine, a bonfire was raised, and the flames of the bonfire were kept to a minimum to prevent them from being seen by intruders outside the mine.

The remaining men, women, and children of the Apache tribe gathered around the campfire, and instead of singing and dancing, they knelt on the ground and prayed for their warriors.

As one of the warriors, the High Priest did not wear the large, elaborate traditional fur priestly garment, but instead wore the new armor that the women of the tribe had woven for him.

The high priest muttered a prayer in the language of the tribe, pointed to the heavens, and then fell to his knees and bowed down to the bonfire.

He didn't ask the heavens or the god of fire for anything, he just wanted them to protect their people and their companions and get what was theirs.

Loczen used paint found in the mines to paint the warriors on the expedition, believing that it would make them braver in battle.

After the ceremony was roughly over, everyone turned over and got on their horses, and Geronimo turned his head and glanced at Chen Jianqiu: "Heavenly Brave, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Chen Jianqiu cleared his throat:

"Let's go!"

The team of eighteen people was certainly not mighty, they were like wolves under the moonlit night, rushing straight to the vanguard camp of the American army.

According to intelligence, there were more than 40 people in the vanguard of the 6th Cavalry Regiment of the US Army.

After advancing at a constant speed for more than an hour, the camp appeared in Chen Jianqiu's field of vision, and the U.S. troops did not shy away from it, and the camp was brightly lit, like a bright light in the wasteland.

They had no reason to fear, the Apache tribe had only one breath left after years of pursuit, and not long ago they had won a battle.

Since Crook became the supreme commander of the US forces in this area, he has carried out "unforgettable" tactical education for the officers under him, and those who disobeyed were either kicked to the edge of the desert to eat sand, or directly cut off their heads by Geronimo.

They learned to be obedient, and in order to deal with the night raids of the Indians, they would set up sentry posts outside the camp, and then block the perimeter of the camp with baggage such as wagons in the ranks.

In this way, when the sentry spot the enemy at the first time, the interior of the camp can rely on the baggage to block the attack at the first time.

Chen Jianqiu pulled out his Winchester rifle from his horse and raised it high behind him.

Eighteen men divided into two teams and rushed towards the camp from two directions.

The night raid force was divided into two teams, and Geronimo at first disagreed.

The number of people in the team was already small, and among them there was also a non-combat geologist and a woman, and then separated, completely lost the impact.

The distribution of personnel in the team was also strange, Chen Jianqiu took Danny, Asuka, Turtledove and four warriors, while Geronimo took the rest of the people, whether it was from communication or command, it didn't seem to be the best way.

In Chen Jianqiu's words, none of this matters.

"This time we're going to do a raid, not annihilation."

He hopes that this team can build trust with each other through fighting.

At this time, at the sentry post outside the camp, two American soldiers were peeing and chatting.

"Robert, don't pull me up next time you work the night shift?" A soldier said.

"Dennis, it's not up to me, you'll have to ask the head." The soldier named Robert shook his head.

"You'll be in danger of working the night shift with me, don't joke with you, I'll just tell you about it."

"What?"

"Because I have mild night blindness." Dennis told his secret, but he suddenly felt a wetness in his trouser legs, "Robert! Damn, you TMD piss on my feet. ”

Robert on the side was unmoved, took a deep breath, and said very calmly:

"Oh, it's okay, I have it too."

Theoretically, according to the diet of the people of the American West in the 19th century, night blindness was not a common thing, but by coincidence, these two Wolong and Phoenix chicks got together, not only escaped the military physical examination, but also happened to be on the same shift tonight.

"Rest assured, those Indians won't come." Robert stretched, "They have been taught by us the other day, and many people have died. ”

"Also, one of them died one less, alas, I really don't understand, those guys have nothing to resist, and it's not that they didn't give them a place." Dennis agrees.

"Hell, do you mean the desert of Arizona? It's not even as good as this one. It's like if we both pee now, and if we don't get it, a rattlesnake will come out of the crack in the rock. ”

"It's better to have a place than to die, eh, did you hear anything?"

"What?"

In the silence of the New Mexico wilderness night, any noise is an alarm.

They turned their heads to look into the night, where there was the sound of horses' hooves, but they could see nothing in the darkness.

They lifted their pants and prepared to get the guns behind their backs.

But two feathered arrows shot out of the night, hitting the two men directly, and then two horses swept past them, and the two of them instantly turned into two headless corpses lying on the ground.

"What's the situation? Are these two deaf or blind? The turtledove withdrew his bow and drew his gun.

But Chen Jianqiu in front did not answer this question.

They were so close to the camp that they could see the obstacles blocking the camp.

"Turtledove, Danny, tell the warriors, wait until you rush in, you must, you must keep in formation, and I will not allow anyone to be left behind." Chen Jianqiu said, "Give each other your backs, and believe me, you won't lose a single hair." ”

In the battle of the mine, Turtledove followed this Chinese, and he fully trusted him.

He turned his head and said to the warriors behind him, "Follow the Heavenly Brave, rush!" ”

Chen Jianqiu leaned down, and the black radish began to accelerate and sprint, with Chen Jianqiu's favorite things hanging on both sides of it.

It was explosives left over from the mine, which was not found at first, but was later discovered by the Apache tribe in the dry depths of the mine.

Art is an explosion.
