Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world, discovered by French explorers in 1622. The lake is shared by the United States and Canada and is surrounded by the Canadian province of Ontario and the American states of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. The main islands in the lake are Royale, Apostel Islands, Mitch Picoten Island and St. Ignas. The god of war, because they came early, had already prepared the raft before the pursuers arrived.

Originally, the idea was to build a position on the shore of the lake, build an earthen wall and fight the whites, and when it was really impossible to do anything, they would use the raft to escape to see if it would work. Shaw Lin did not agree with this line of thinking, and attacking fortified positions, positional warfare, was the specialty of whites in this period. They didn't even need to attack much, just let the large-caliber heavy artillery attack in the primordial attack. The most powerful of the weapons that Sholin sold them were only ten six-pounder guns, which could not pose a threat to twelve-pounder guns and larger caliber guns with a range far greater than him.

If they fight along the lines of their previous thinking, they won't pose much of a threat to the whites before they are doomed. That night, Xiao Lin did not leave directly, but went to the tent of the God of War Patriarch to discuss the matter of rescuing the non-warrior clansmen of the God of War tribe. The God of War Patriarch told Xiao Lin about their plan, and Xiao Lin was approved for nothing. Sholin suggested that they should enter Lake Superior and build guerrilla positions on the islands in the lake.

One of these places is perfect for the future national park of the United States, consisting of Royal Island and its 200 smaller islands. Isle Royal is 72.4 kilometers long, 14.5 kilometers wide and has an area of about 545 kilometers. An island, now more than 20,000 people from ten tribes can enter it, and the area where they are located is not too far from this island. And there is no need to put all 20,000 people on the island of Royal, and the other slightly smaller islands should also have some warriors.

The advantages of this arrangement are many: first, there are no white warships in Lake Superior now, and it does not have enough access to the sea to be threatened by white warships; second, because there are no white warships here, if they want to attack, they can only use fishing boats or rafts, and these boats, not only do they carry fewer people at a time, but they cannot let the heavy artillery fire in the water, as long as the heavy artillery is not allowed to land, the white people will have a big advantage; third, Lake Superior is rich in fishery resources, especially in this season, the fish are very active, and they do not have to worry about the problem of supply。

The most important thing is that what the Indians are best at is guerrilla warfare in the mountains and forests. Enter these small islands, take advantage of the terrain and vegetation above, and enter the mountain guerrilla mode in battle mode. Well, nearly 10,000 Indian warriors with firearms can inflict huge casualties on the whites. And Xiao Lin, who wanted to weaken the power of the whites, also said that he could give them more bullets and shells on credit from the other side by smuggling water transportation.

The gods of war are not willing to die so meaninglessly. These ten Indian tribes who dared to come out to attack the white people all had a deep hatred with the white people, so even if they died, they had to pull enough white people on their backs. The god of war told Xiao Lin about his suggestion, and all the patriarchs agreed. During the day the next day, they launched an attack on their own initiative. In this attack, the whole army was dispatched, and all firearms were used.

In the eyes of the whites besieging them, it was these people who were jumping over the wall in a hurry. The white commanders, who were still waiting for the heavy artillery and the rest of the army, in order to preserve their strength, let the army retreat two miles, as long as the Indians did not escape. Although the Indians had their backs to Lake Superior, they did not see any rafts of boats (they had hidden them) and did not fear them escaping. In this attack, the whites did not suffer many casualties.

And the two white commanders, who wanted to preserve their strength, did not know that while they kept retreating, the non-warrior tribesmen of the ten Indian tribes dragged out the logs of the raft that they had hidden and tied them with hemp rope. Thirty people worked together on a raft and completed the raft assembly in half an hour. After nightfall, they set up several bonfires as usual, exposing the patrol to the white people's binoculars. Then, the non-warriors began to move.

Under the cover of night, more than 10,000 non-warriors quietly left the shore of the lake and drove the raft to the lake. Soon after the departure of the seven rafts of the God of War tribe, they slowly deviated from the large army and began to walk to the other side of the lake, landing at the place they had agreed with Xiao Lin and them, and joining the Yanhuang Trading Company. The other nine tribes also knew the choice of the god of war, it was not a matter for their tribe, and it was not easy to interfere, so they could only watch them leave.

After the civilians left, the fighters began to prepare for the evacuation. After all, it was the transfer of tens of thousands of people, and there had been a little movement before, which alerted the whites, and as soon as the soldiers began to drag the raft to the lake, the whites realized that something was wrong. The soldiers could clearly feel that there was a little commotion in the white camp, and the sound of war horses moving. It seems that the white man has something wrong under his hair and wants to send cavalry to check it.

The god of war was instructed by Xiao Lin, and he did not panic when he encountered this situation. Together with one of the most warlike organizations, the Mountain Bear, he led 3,000 men to the front to ambush. The remaining fighters, continuing to work on the raft. The British commander Jerle did find out that something was wrong, and there was a little sound of a large number of people moving from the enemy's side, just in case, Jerle still felt that he had to check it carefully. Therefore, he sent 3,000 cavalry under his command.

The cavalry is led by a brave cavalry captain among the Hessian mercenaries. Under his leadership, the three thousand cavalry were ready in a short time, and as soon as they left the camp, they immediately galloped with all their might. And the god of war is already in place. The cavalrymen were extremely suspicious of the Indians fleeing, so they didn't pay much attention to their surroundings. Just a hundred meters from the camp before entering the Indians, gunfire rang out.

In the first wave, nearly 300 cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses. Looking at the intensity of the fire, there were at least thousands of people, and the cavalry directly thought that this was a plan set up by the Indians. Pretend they're going to flee, lure them, the most threatening cavalry, to check them out, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop. The cavalry commander hurriedly asked the trumpeter to blow the retreat trumpet, it was they who had blocked these Indians here, and if the cavalry was late, it would inevitably cause the encirclement to lack mobile strength, and it was very likely that they would escape.

Naturally, they fired at full speed, and by the time the cavalry fled beyond their range, they were already a third less numerous. The cavalrymen returned to the camp and reported what they had encountered. Jair believed them, and told the rest of the cavalry to repair first, and he went to sleep.

The hand of the god of war scared them so much that they couldn't resist entering the camp to check on the afternoon of the third day. Of course, there wasn't a single living creature left here, leaving behind tents with various patches. Jell was so angry that he called the cavalry commander over and scolded him. If it weren't for the special status of the Hessian mercenaries in the British army, I am afraid that they would have been dragged down and killed by Jer.

Finding that the Indians had disappeared, Jair did not dare to waste time. It would be better to let the messenger contact the French army on the other side, even if it would be ridiculed and ridiculed by the French, than to let these hateful Indian bandits escape and continue to plague the colonial settlements. When the French received the news, they did not dare to be careless, and immediately sent cavalry to search around along the shore of the lake. After wasting a day and a night, they finally determined that their encirclement was still in good condition, and that no Indians had escaped.

Since there is no one on the road, then these Indians, I am afraid, have all entered the Lake District. Both sides also know that Lake Superior has many small islands, some of which can only accommodate one or two people, while others can accommodate tens of thousands of people. It took a moment of exchange between the two to determine the Indians' intentions. I have to say that they admire the Indians who came up with this idea very much, and the next battle will be very difficult. However, we can't help but fight.

The two of them can't hold on to things now, so they can only report it and ask for boat support. Naturally, Jair also received a sternly worded letter of order from Charles, saying that if the Indians were not completely annihilated in the Lake Superior area, then he would be hanged by Charlie himself. After the arrival of the 50,000-strong army, they also began to cut down and build ships, some assault boats and rafts, which were made in two days, and began to investigate the whereabouts of the Indians.

Lake Superior is extremely extensive, and the raft made by the god of war can't hold on to the island of Royal, but fortunately the distance is not far, and the lake is not very cold at this time, so everyone swims up. None of them knew how to build ships, so they would have to stay on the island. According to the previous distribution, more than 20,000 people began to enter the islands arranged by themselves. Their tools were still there, and they fished directly for breakfast, and they didn't care about resting, so they directly began to set traps and build trenches.

The Indians wanted more time, but the whites wouldn't let them just build a battlefield that suited them. They weren't going to rely on any heavy artillery, they only had twelve-pounder guns with them at most, and they would attack as soon as they found out about the presence of these enemies. Fishing boat-level boats, as well as sturdy enough rafts, for them, it is not difficult to build at all, in a few days, they can make a boat for 50,000 people, and there is no need to dry it, anyway, just use it once, regardless of whether the waves are wasted.
