But the Manchis did not retreat. They held on to the infantry regiments sent by St. Paul.
Seeing that the entire Ushio Thousand Soldiers were about to die, captain Ushio's thigh was stabbed with a bloody hole by the federal army's bayonet, and You Zi continued to fight fiercely.
"Come on, fight!" Oxtail spat out blood foam and shouted in Coman language.
Several white soldiers surrounded him, bayonets on their rifles dangling, trying to expose weaknesses in this brave Yin Di'an warrior.
Liu Kun's eyes were red, spending this time with these Comanches.
He has established deep friendships with these people.
Now I am watching these living lives disappear one by one in front of me.
Liu Kun finally felt the cruelty of war.
At the same time, he also secretly admired these Comanche warriors.
Even though everyone was almost dead, no one retreated and ran away.
This is actually an army that can withstand 100% casualties.
I really don’t know how Quark brainwashed these people.
To the west of the Mississippi River, groups of ragged Indian women and children took over the white men's farms, and even the small town of Fort Nelling was given new residents by Quark.
At the same time, Quark also set up his headquarters here.
Quark is still the high priest of the Comanches.
His personal strength is not strong.
But almost all Comanche warriors admired him very much.
Because he made the entire Comanche tribe stronger.
If it weren't for Quark, they would still be driven around by those white people.
We still have to live a precarious life.
Now their tribe has sufficient food and their population has increased significantly. The weapons used by the warriors are even stronger than those of the white people.
These are all brought by quarks.
At this time, Quark was holding a list in his hand.
These were the lists of seizures tallied up by his men.
There is a cup of green tea on the table in front of him.
This was given to him by Zhao Sixi, and it is said to be this year's new tea.
Most Yindians have strong tastes, but Quark likes this drink from the East very much.
He even invented a new way of drinking tea.
That is to put the dry tea leaves directly into your mouth and chew it.
The bitter and fresh taste of tea permeates the entire mouth and even between the teeth. It feels very good.
This can make him feel refreshed and is also in line with the heavy taste of Yin Di'an people.
The most distressing thing about Quark is that there are too few people in the Comanche tribe who can help him.
Some of the priests of other tribes even tied knots in leather ropes to record events.
For things like counting supplies, Quark had to hire several shopkeepers from Xinzhengzhou.
These people were recommended to Quark by Zhao Sixi. They would calm down little by little.
Quark also knows a little bit of Chinese.
In this way, communication between them is basically no problem.
Accounts are recorded in Chinese and Arabic numerals.
Quark looked very seriously.
"Mr. Liu, please assign these cattle and sheep to each production team and let them be responsible for grazing." Quark said to a thin old man with a goatee.
"Yes, high priest, let's do it now." Old Liu is considered an old man in Xinzhengzhou.
However, he was still very polite to the Yin Di'an high priest.
In the eyes of the Chinese, the Yindi'an people are also equal.
What's more, the high priest is a very polite boss.
They paid their wages in gold.
Quark has no habit of hoarding gold or silver.
Almost all the property they seized was exchanged for supplies.
Yin Di'an's warriors did not have the habit of hiding trophies.
Almost all their living supplies come from tribal rations.
Most people don't even have the concept of private property in their minds.
Seeing Lao Liu go out, Quark began to study the next military deployment.
This piece of Minnesota land on the west bank of the Mississippi River will be their temporary location.
Why is it said to be a temporary settlement? That's because according to their agreement with Jiahua, the area west of the Mississippi River will be Jiahua's territory.
This is also the basic plan set by Dong Shuheng for Canada.
Of course this refers to the northern region.
In the southern Texas region, white people have become deeply entrenched.
It is still difficult to eat Jiahua.
Although they have now attacked the east bank of the Mississippi River, Quark is not sure of holding this place.
He knew the white man's revenge would soon come.
Whether they can occupy the west bank of the Great Lakes and the area east of the Mississippi River depends on the performance of the Canadian Army and the Kansas Army.
As a party to this joint operation, Quark naturally knows the main content of the plan.
At the ferry on the east coast, the reinforcements Liu Kun was talking about finally arrived.
Oxtail's tall body fell in an open space not far from the pier.
The Ushio Thousand Soldiers wiped out half of the St. Paul Infantry Regiment at the cost of almost annihilating themselves.
The remaining St. Paul infantry regiment was already timid when they saw how brave the opponent was.
Any warrior would be timid if he saw his opponent being so bloody.
Many Comanche warriors had a completely perish-to-die style of play.
They can watch the opponent's bayonet stab into their stomachs, and then use the opportunity of closing the distance between the two sides to insert their own bayonets into the opponent's body.
So when the reinforcement boats rushed to the shore, and when the reinforcements rushed towards the white soldiers with their rifles raised, almost all the remaining soldiers of the St. Paul Infantry Regiment turned around and ran away.
The Comanche warriors rushed forward, roaring.
Liu Kun walked to Niuwei's body and closed his eyes.
Here in the New World, we don’t believe in tears. Whoever is stronger will tell the truth.
Liu Kun reloaded his pistol.
His hand holding the bullet was trembling.
"How many are still alive?" Liu Kun shouted to the surroundings in Comanche.
Dozens of people immediately stood up.
Most of these people are wearing colorful clothes.
But they asked Liu Kun to lead them to continue fighting.
Liu Kun led dozens of remaining soldiers and rushed towards St. Paul following the reinforcements.
The Comanches had no habit of stopping to aid the wounded.
The reinforcements that had just landed were two thousand-man troops, and by now they had long since disappeared behind the white soldiers.
Liu Kun knew that these Comanches would definitely attack the city of St. Paul directly.
These people are like a war machine, never tired.
Quark's order for them was also to fight all the way to the east of the big lake and kill all white invaders.
Comanche warriors faithfully fulfilled this order.
The next unlucky one was St. Paul.
This is not just a small town like Nellingburg.
São Paulo was founded when Spanish explorers arrived.
Now it has become a quite big city.
Fur, logging, wheat and animal husbandry are the main industries here.
From here, it’s less than two hundred kilometers north to Port Duluth on Lake Superior.
It's only three to four hundred kilometers away from Milwaukee on Lake Michigan to the east.
There are major roads connecting St. Paul to Eau Claire, Rockford and Chicago to the southeast.
You can go south along the river to La Crosse or even St. Louis. However, the navigation condition of the upper river is not good now.
Chicago city.
Thomas, Rosecrans, John Pope, and Sherman, all the leading generals of the West, gathered together.
Chicago is the most important industrial city in the West.
Naturally, these people gathered here because of the actions of the Comanches.
"Who can tell me why those damn Comanches came back and how they conquered our city? You know they couldn't even conquer a ranch before." John Pope, a grumpy Virginian, asked first.
.
He has never been to the west.
But he knew that the Yin Di'an people had been beaten until they were unable to fight back.
Now suddenly someone came to report that the Yintian people were about to invade the Great Lakes area.
Some people even reported seeing Indian cavalry in Rockford, less than a hundred kilometers northwest of Chicago.
For a time, Illinois, which had just been baptized by the flames of war, began to panic again.
Even big cities like Chicago have a large number of wealthy people fleeing here by boat.
The last time the Kansas Army faked a shot and used a partial division to pretend to attack Chicago, it almost captured the city.
That time caused great harm to the factory owners in this city.
During that crisis, the gangs in the city took the opportunity to rob, causing great losses to the city.
The last time it was a surprise attack, those people didn't have time to escape.
This time someone passed the news over, so it was different.
The legs are growing on these people, and no one can stop them.
"Obviously, this incident is caused by the yellow people in California again," Thomas said.
He is now very hostile to the yellow race because they were driven out of their homeland by the Chinese mercenaries of the Kansas Legion.
"Humph, if it weren't for those Southerners, we could go over and kill those Yin Di'an people right now." Pope said angrily.
"Everyone, I think we should think about how to deal with the matter at hand." Rosecrans said.
He is the commander of the Springfield Regiment. He is also the host here.
This military meeting was convened by him.
Obviously Rosecrans has realized that this matter is not that simple.
"I think it's better for me to lead my troops and kill all those Yin Di'an people. If they don't hide on the prairie or retreat to their own land, but dare to come out, then they will be wiped out." Popper slapped his hand on the table.
Anyone who fights with him is just trying to be aggressive with the other person.
"It doesn't matter who leads the army. I don't believe those Yin Di'an people can become smart all of a sudden. It's just that there are people behind them supporting them. Just like the Chinese people supported them in their rebellion back then." Rosecrans said.
"The main question is what does this have to do with the Army of Kansas down south?"
"If we go to attack the Indian people, will the Kansas Army in the south take advantage of the opportunity?"
Rosecrans' words aroused everyone's thinking. Everyone smoked their cigarettes and fell silent.
"General Rosecrans, no matter what, we are going to send troops to exterminate these Yindian people. In this case, we don't need to discuss whether to send troops. The main issue now is how many troops to send and how to defend the south.
The Kansas Regiment.”
General Sherman, who had been silent for a long time, said.
He has eyes that look more like a physics teacher in school, gentle and polite.
General Sherman graduated from the Army Academy in 1840. He participated in the 1841-1842 campaign against the Indians in Florida and the Mexican-Mexican War.
Retired in 1853. Returned to the military in 1859 and served as principal of the Louisiana Military School.
He has a relatively good relationship with Thomas of the Indiana Legion.
Many of Thomas' officers were his students.
This time he came out again and was recommended by Thomas.
Don't be fooled by Shermans' suave appearance.
This person is very cruel when dealing with his enemies.
He once said during the battle against the Yin Di'an people: "Only the dead Yin Di'an people are good Yin Di'an people."
"General Sherman, please continue." They all knew that Sherman was a professional officer and wanted to hear his opinion.
"Everyone, our current total strength is nearly 250,000, and according to intelligence, the Kansas Army in the south is close to 200,000." Sherman continued.
"Intelligence shows that there are tens of thousands of Yin Di'an people. To ensure nothing goes wrong, we must send at least 50,000 people to the expedition. The remaining troops are more than enough to defend the southerners."
At this point, Sherman suddenly changed the subject. Passive defense was not his style: "However, we cannot defend blindly. Although we have many troops, our defense line is also very long. Now we are facing south and west.
, even the northwest direction may become the enemy's assault direction."
"These southerners are obviously interested in Chicago. You know, half of our weapons and equipment rely on factories here, and the steel plants here also provide raw materials for the weapons factories in the east."
Rosecrans on the side nodded and said: "General Sherman is right. The Kansas Army originally had the idea of Chicago last time. But we discovered it in advance and it was because we knew the importance of this place that we sent the main force to Chicago.
They were all transferred here, but unexpectedly the Kansas rebels moved east and west and attacked Springfield."
"It's not your fault, General Rosecrans. In fact, if you didn't have enough troops to rescue Chicago, then they would really attack Chicago. Chicago is much more important than Springfield. If the general leads only part of the army
If the troops are sent to support Chicago, then they will be numerically weak, and the Kansas Army's feint attack on Chicago will become the main attack." Sherman consoled him.
He gave Rosecrans a big step up by saying that.
Rosecrans nodded as he listened.
Because the loss of Springfield is a stain on Rosecrans.
Sherman's words proved that there was no problem with Rosecrans' original decision.
Not only was he not wrong, he actually saved Chicago.
"But from the last battle, we can also see that the tactics of the Kansas Army are very flexible. Most of them are Chinese, so they can give up the land they protect at any time." Sherman did not stop, but continued.
