Chapter 5 Back to the 21st Century
Even without Xiao Lin's reminder, the warriors of the Eagle Tribe knew that the first thing to do when the war started was to take out the enemy's observation post. The compound bow had only been in hand for less than three days, and these warriors who had been exposed to the bow and arrow since birth had already mastered its performance, and Xiao Lin, who was following behind the eagle, saw him wave his hand, and the sharpshooters with the strongest shooting ability of the five tribes left the large army. Xiao Lin saw that they slowly dispersed and groped their way to the various watchtowers.
The five warriors touched a distance of about a hundred meters from the watchtower, where they could already clearly see the white man with a flintlock pistol on the watchtower. At this time, it happened to be the time when people were asleep, and these guards, who were also in a state of dozing. The Eagle Tribe warriors slowly mounted their arrows, drew their bowstrings, and began to aim at the dozing sentinels. After a few seconds, arrows burst out, killing the guards one by one. There were five watchtowers in total, five guards, one shot in the throat, and no sound came out. The other four, most of them were shot in these places, and although they did not die immediately, they only made a dull sound when they fell on the wood of the watchtower.
The voice was not as strong as the attacking force of the Violent Eagle Tribe, but the figure still couldn't be hidden. The American continent, which had not yet been greatly developed in the eighteenth century, was the most dangerous carnivorous animals in the wild. In order to prevent the food from touching in and harming the children and the elderly, the entire colonist camp was lit up with torches. With Xiao Lin, the Eagle Tribe's attacking force is two hundred and one, and there is really no way to hide. As soon as the warriors stepped into the camp, they were spotted by the colonists who had trained them.
"Who?"
Xiao Lin clearly heard a "Who?", followed by a messy footsteps, and then the sound of guns clashing. Knowing the troops, Sholin immediately shouted out in the Indian language:
"Quick, the enemy has spotted us, attack!"
As soon as Xiao Lin finished speaking, more than thirty middle-aged and young men with flintlock pistols came out from behind a tent. It seems that these people have also experienced army battles, and thirty people immediately formed a three-row musket formation. Seeing the Indians on the other side, these colonists were not until this time, so many Indians came in, for absolutely not friendly communication. Without further ado, just start aiming. Because of the distance, the colonists hadn't started shooting yet, they just took aim.
The warriors of the Eagle Tribe stopped after walking about one hundred and fifty meters, and under the horrified eyes of the colonists, they opened their bows and arrows and began to aim. A middle-aged child among the colonists spotted the troops and yelled for everyone to back off. Before the other colonists could react, the Eagle Tribe warriors had already loosened their bowstrings. Although the arrows are made of steel from leftovers, they are better than handmade wooden poles using modern machine tools.
It has entered the era of flintlock pistols, and iron armor is no longer practical. However, in order to deal with the Indians and wild beasts without muskets, these colonists still covered some iron sheets in the vital parts, that is, the kind of armor with steel pieces inlaid on the skin. However, such a thin thing could not withstand the shooting of the composite strong bow made in modern society, and as soon as the arrow arrived, they were shot on their backs. And this scene was seen by ordinary colonists who had just woken up at the sound of the sound.
Of the three hundred colonists, there were only more than seventy warriors. Except for the five who were killed on the watchtower, and the more than twenty who had been killed by the warriors of the Eagle Tribe with compound bows, only more than forty people still had combat effectiveness. However, they did not carry muskets with them when they slept, and only the swords and axes they carried with them in the tent. After defeating the musket militia, the Eagle Patriarch directly let the warriors with steel swords rush forward, and those with bows were still naming the enemy, and the white men who rushed up with Western-style swords and axes were shot to the ground by arrows.
Seeing that the enemy was no longer available, these whites had plans to flee. A white man who looked like a conductor, yelled there.
"Sam, quick, go to town for help. The soldiers resisted, allowing the elderly, women and children to go first. ”
These Caucasians thought that none of the people in the Eagle tribe knew English, so it didn't matter what they said in English. In fact, it is also true that only those Indian tribes on the American continent who have been in contact with white colonists have English-speaking Indians, and the Eagle tribe is not among them. There's an outlier here, though, Sholin. As a major country in the new century, China's special forces soldiers are from English and have to master a skill.
Although he didn't understand a few syllables, Shoren knew what the white colonists were up to. From their plan to ask for help, Xiao Lin knew that there was a white town that was not very far from here, and the military strength in the town would definitely be able to easily destroy the Eagle Tribe. However, from the fact that they let the women and children flee first, it is clear that this white town will not be too close to here, otherwise they can simply hold on to it. This distance should be about two to four days.
Shoren was not mistaken, there was indeed a white town to the east. The town is not large, with just over 6,000 people. It's just that a British army of 1,000 people is stationed here, which is the legendary "lobster soldiers". These lobster soldiers are fully equipped, not only with a musket, but also with a lot of artillery. If these colonists were really allowed to escape and report the news, the Eagle Tribe would definitely suffer a catastrophe. Xiao Lin could have escaped, but if he wanted to rise on the American continent in the 18th century, he would have to find a new place where he could accumulate his initial strength.
Xiao Lin immediately told the eagle patriarch about the colonist's plan, and analyzed his guess for him. The Eagle Patriarch did not dare to be careless, and immediately mobilized fifty warriors to intercept the white men who were running in one direction, that is, to the east. The people of the Eagle tribe actually used a lasso, two stones tied to a hemp rope, thrown out with force, tripping the white people who fled in a panic, and the warriors rushed up and tied up the white people one by one with the hemp rope around their waists.
This kind of behavior is inexplicable in the eyes of white people. Because in the past, the Indians fought brutally and directly killed the enemy, and even cut off the enemy's scalp in order to show their military exploits, and there was no habit of tying up and keeping prisoners. Slowly, the Indians caught all the whites together.
