Chapter 5 Back to the 21st Century
Even without Xiao Lin's reminder, the soldiers of the Eagle Tribe knew that the first thing to do when the war was to kill the enemy's observation post. Less than three days after the compound bow was obtained, these warriors who had been exposed to bows and arrows since they were born had already mastered its performance. Xiao Lin, who was following behind the Eagle, saw him wave his hand, and the five tribes with the strongest shooting ability left the large army. Xiao Lin saw that they slowly dispersed to various watchtowers and groped for them.
The five soldiers touched about one hundred meters away from the watchtower, and they could clearly see the white men holding flintlock guns on the watchtower. At this time, it was just when people were asleep, and these guards were also dozing off. The soldiers of the Eagle Tribe slowly drew arrows, pulled the bowstrings, and began to aim at the dozing sentries. A few seconds later, the arrows shot out and shot one guards to death. A total of five watchtowers, five guards, and one was shot in the throat, without any sound. The other four were mostly shot in the hearts and mouths. Although they were not dead immediately, they only hit the wood of the watchtower when they fell down and made a little dull sound.
The sound was not as violent as the attacking troops of the Eagle Tribe, but the figure could not be hidden. The American continent had not been developed in the 18th century, and the most dangerous thing in the wild were the carnivorous animals walking in nocturnal. In order to prevent the food from being touched in and hurting children and the elderly, the entire colonists' camp was illuminated by torches. In addition, Xiao Lin and the attacking troops of the Eagle Tribe had 201 people, and they really couldn't hide them. As soon as the soldiers entered the camp, they were discovered by the trained colonists.
"who?"
Xiao Lin clearly heard a "who?", then there was a messy sound of footsteps, and the sound of guns colliding later. Xiao Lin knew the troops and immediately shouted in Indian language:
"Quick, the enemy has discovered us, attack!"
As soon as Xiao Lin finished speaking, more than 30 middle-aged and young men holding flintlock guns were turned out from behind a tent. These people seemed to have experienced military wars, and thirty people immediately formed three rows of muskets. Seeing the Indians opposite, these colonists, but until this time, so many Indians came in, the purpose of not being friendly communication. Without saying nonsense, they started aiming directly. Because of the distance problem, the colonists had not yet started shooting, so they aimed.
The soldiers of the Eagle Tribe stopped after walking about 150 meters. In the horrified eyes of the colonists, they opened their bows and started aiming. A middle-aged child among the colonists discovered the troops and shouted to make everyone retreat. Before the other colonists could react, the soldiers of the Eagle Tribe had already released the bowstrings that were pulled very well. Although they were arrows made of scrap steel, using machine tools in modern society is better than handmade wooden pole arrows.
The era of flintlock rifles has entered, and iron armor and armor are no longer practical. However, in order to deal with Indians and beasts without muskets, these colonists still covered some iron sheets on the key parts, such as armor with steel sheets inlaid on the leather. However, such a thin thing cannot withstand the shooting of the composite strong bows created by modern society. Once the arrows arrive, they are shot overturned. And this scene is seen by ordinary colonists who just woke up after hearing the sound.
There were only more than 70 warriors in the three hundred colonists. Apart from the five killed on the watchtower, more than 20 people who had been killed by the Eagle Tribe warriors with compound bows, only more than 40 people still have combat power. However, they did not bring muskets with them when they were sleeping, and there were only swords and axes for combat in the tent. After defeating the musket militia, the Eagle clan leader directly asked the warriors with steel swords to rush up. Those who held the bow were still calling the enemy. The vicious white men who rushed up with Western long swords and axes were shot to the ground by arrows.
Seeing that they could not defeat them, these white men had the intention to escape. A white man who looked like a commander was yelling there.
"Sam, hurry up, go to the town for help. The soldiers resist and let the children, the elderly and the women and the children go first."
These white people think that people in the Eagle Tribe don’t know English, so it doesn’t matter what they say in English. In fact, this is also a fact. On the American continent, only those Indian tribes that have been in contact with white colonists have Indians who can speak English. The Eagle Tribe is not listed here. However, there is an alien here, Xiao Lin. As a special forces soldier in China, a major country in the new century, he has to master English.
Although there were a few syllables that didn't understand, Xiao Lin still knew the plans of these white colonists. From their plan to seek help, Xiao Lin knew that there was a white town not very far from here, and the military power in the town would definitely be able to easily destroy the Eagle Tribe. However, from their letting women and children escape first, we can know that this white town would not be too close to here, otherwise they could directly stick to the waiting for help. This distance should be about two to four days.
Xiao Lin guessed correctly. There was indeed a white town to the east. The town was not big, with only more than 6,000 people. But there was a British army stationed here with a thousand people, which was the legendary "lobster soldiers". These lobster soldiers were equipped with complete equipment, not only with a musket, but also with many artillery. If these colonists were really allowed to escape and report the news, the Eagle Tribe would definitely suffer a catastrophe. Xiao Lin could escape, but if he wanted to rise on the American continent in the 18th century, he had to find a new place where he could accumulate initial strength.
Xiao Lin immediately told the colonists' plan to the Eagle Clan leader around him and analyzed his guess. The Eagle Clan leader did not dare to be careless, and immediately mobilized fifty soldiers to intercept the white men running in one direction, that is, the white men running in the east. The people of the Eagle Tribe actually used lasso, tied two stones to a hemp rope, threw them out with force, tripping the white men who were running away in panic. The soldiers rushed up and tied up the white men with the hemp rope around their waists.
