Super Chief

Chapter 329: Build a position

"Dahe, now I order you to lead the logistics troops to station in place, and assist other soldiers to prepare all the ammunition and materials that should be prepared..." Dahe is not only the four major warriors of the Crooked Ear Tribe, Qukui, who deserves the most force Qu Kui, a member of the Crooked Ear tribe, is second only to Chora Klulu in prestige.

   The logistics soldiers were mostly composed of warriors from the Crooked Ears tribe, so Shi Xiong asked him to be the military supervisor of the logistics soldiers.

   Although Dahe also wanted to be with his brothers and fight the enemy, he also knew the importance of logistics, so he readily agreed to Shixiong’s order and became the military director of the expeditionary army logistics.

   Of course, he just doesn’t agree. After five months of training, all the expeditionary forces now know one thing, that is, "the military order falls like a mountain"! As long as the military order is reached at once, there is no room for bargaining at all, and you can only go all out to complete the task.

   "Taka Niu, I order your grenadier troops to reach this position at this time..."

   As Shixiong’s closest relatives, Shixiong naturally wants to give him the command of the most important bullet-grenadier unit. The grenadier has a long range, a high rate of fire, and it is placed behind the Musketeers, so the safety is much higher than that of the Musketeers in front. Shi Xiong didn't want Gao Niu, his only relative with blood in the world, to die on the battlefield in confusion, so he gave Gao Niu the command of the grenadier unit.

"Quick horse, I order your musketeers to follow around the grenadier troops and protect the safety of the grenadier troops until they establish a position in the designated area. And you musketeers also need to establish well in the grenadier troops. To build your position after the position, we need to teach the Kerry people a severe lesson in this position!"

   As Shi Xiong’s best partner, Kuai Ma is also the person who is most familiar with muskets. Shi Xiong, the commander of the Musketeers, will naturally be in his hands!

   "Guerilla, I order you..."

Following a series of orders in Shixiong’s mouth, the commanders of various military departments soon began to lead their own troops to execute the orders according to the orders. Soon, all the soldiers who participated in the first battle were there. About 30 miles away from the current camp area of ​​the Cree people, they have established their position at the mouth of a valley, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Cree people.

This valley is actually a river valley, the Catawba River valley that must pass from Asheville to Charlotte. Now the stone bears are located in this valley, and the Cree’s troops are there. Settled in a basin about thirty miles away from the valley.

  Since we want to stop the Kerry people, or teach the Kerry people a big lesson, then how to choose the battlefield has become a key issue.

  The number of Cree is far more than that of the expeditionary force, and the huge gap in population can sometimes bridge the gap caused by weapons. Therefore, in order to ensure that the expeditionary army does not engage in close combat with the Cree, it is necessary to choose a battlefield that is conducive to the expeditionary army's operations.

   The exit of the Catawba Valley is obviously an ideal battlefield.

  The Catawba River shuttles in the remnants of the east side of the fog. The turbulent river has taken tens of thousands of years to cut a deep valley in this mountain. The end of the river valley presents a trumpet shape, and its width rapidly expands from more than 500 meters to about one kilometer.

   The turbulent Catawba River is also rapidly widening in this trumpet, from a width of only more than 100 meters to a width of more than 300 meters, occupying the area north of the exit of the river valley.

   On the south side of the river is a flat area about 200 meters wide and more than 500 meters long. The expeditionary force built a position at the bottom of this area.

Three hundred and fifty grenadiers built a grenadier position at the bottom of the river valley. One hundred and seventy grenadiers were divided into two rows with a distance of more than two meters from each other. They lined up this flat area. The bottom of the musketeer was completely sealed, and the seven hundred musketeers were separated by two meters from each other, arranged in four rows to block the grenadiers in front.

   As for the three hundred guerrillas, Shi Xiong sent out two hundred men to protect the mountain on the south side of the river valley, and the remaining one hundred men were arranged by the Musketeers for protection.

  Because there is a wide Catawba River to the north of the valley, there is no need to worry about the Cree coming around from the north. If the Cree wants to advance or eat the expeditionary army, they can only attack from the front.

   Although the mountain on the south side is not too high, only less than 200 meters in size, it is very steep and difficult to climb. It is not easy for the Cree to climb the mountain from the south and attack the grenadiers and musketeers from the side.

   Not to mention that Stone Bear also arranged two hundred guerrillas on this mountain. These guerrillas carried a large number of arrows and carried five unscrupulous cannons.

   Once the Cree wanted to climb the mountain from the south, the guerrillas who had a geographical advantage would inflict heavy damage on the Cree with a flood of arrows and powerful unscrupulous cannons.

This position is already the best that Stone Bear can think of~lightnovelpub.net~ And because of the limitations of the river valley, even the Cree desperately attacked and broke the blockade of guerrillas or musketeers. Then the grenadier in the rear can quickly retreat for a certain distance, and then build a position in situ, and continue to use the advantage of the long range of the grenadier to block the retreat of the musketeers and guerrillas in front.

That is, if the Cree break through the valley mouth by virtue of the number of people, Shixiong is not worried. His grenadiers and musketeers can fully take advantage of their long range to retreat in turn, and continue from the retreat. Consume the soldiers of the Cree.

   The position was quickly constructed. Although it is very simple, it can maximize the safety of the expeditionary soldiers.

  Thirty miles away, the Cree scouts obviously hadn’t found the expeditionary force at the mouth of the valley. According to the news brought back by the expeditionary scouts, the Cree scouts were still gathering there, as if they didn’t mean to rush.

  How can this work? It has now entered the spring, and this area in the southeast foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains will soon enter the rainy season. Once the rainy season comes, it is not a good thing for the expeditionary forces using firearms.

  Since you don’t come out, let’s tick you out!

   Therefore, a hundred musketeers with superb riding skills, carrying muskets, rode the only one hundred horses in the expeditionary army and left the position of the expeditionary army.

Under the leadership of the Bone Spear, these 100 Musketeers quickly disappeared into the distant hills. They will use the mobility of the horses to harass the Cree’s base camp in the next few days, as much as possible. Attract the Cree to the exit of the Catawba Valley!
