And while Shixiong gathered the leaders of the White City Alliance to discuss the promotion of education and this year’s spring broadcast, in a huge tent in a certain area of ​​the Central Plains, hundreds of people dressed in various costumes were thousands of kilometers away. The Indians were gathering together, talking gravely about something.

If the Grim Bear Army can make a raid here and send a few 55 mortar shells to this big tent, then this western expedition will be more than half easier.

Because this big tent is the king's big tent of the Osaki people, and the people gathered in this big king's tent at this time are the leaders of the medium and large tribes within the jurisdiction of the Osaki people. There are allies of the Osages. For example, the powerful Cheyennes, the Omahas who have not yet turned against each other, and the Arapahos who are not inferior to the Osages.

The reason why they were concentrated in the Osaki people's royal tent is very simple, that is, the Cherokee that suddenly rises strongly to the east, which brings them tremendous pressure.

That's right, when the Stone Bear decided to start the Western Expedition, and when the engineer battalion of the First Division of the Grim Bear Army crossed the river and began to build the pontoon bridge, the alert Osages discovered the Cherokee's intention to move west.

For this large tribe that has suddenly risen in the past two years, the Osages are also very vigilant. After all, last year the Cherokee suddenly used force to destroy the Chekasha directly, and the Osages already knew about it.

When the Burst Bear Brigade attacked the Chekashas, ​​many Chekashas fled, some ran south, some ran north, and some simply crossed the Mississippi River into Arkansas or Missouri territory. .

The news that the Cherokees destroyed the Crees, the Powatans, and their Chekashas, ​​was also passed on to the more western area along with the Chekashas who fled into the Ozark territory.

When Black Buffalo, the chief of the Ossaki people, got the news, he immediately realized that something was very bad. After all, being able to destroy two tribes with a population of one hundred thousand and thirty thousand in just over a year is not something ordinary people can do. Even the Osaqis are absolutely not capable of doing it. To this point.

And when the black buffalo learned from the escaped Chekasas that the Cherokee could possess powerful firearms like those Vasichus, and they still had a large number of firearms, the black buffalo paid more attention to this one. It's coming.

Last winter, the Black Buffalo sent elite soldiers to sneak into the east bank of the Mississippi River to closely monitor the Cherokee on the other side of the river. Because even the Black Buffalo did not expect that their allies, that is, the two military fortresses built by the French on the east bank of the Mi River, would have been beaten down by the Cherokee.

And according to the news brought back by the elite soldiers, that is that in this cold winter, the French tried to retake the two fortresses several times in a row. The French even dispatched dozens of inland river armed transport ships and a more powerful ship. Small sailing warship

As an important trading partner of the French west of the Mi River, the chief black buffalo of the Osages has seen the mighty inland water transport ship with his own eyes, and even the one with more than twenty eighteen-pounder guns. Small sail battleship.

Although the black buffalo does not know that the sailing warship with more than twenty eighteen-pounder guns and only one deck, it is actually a fifth or even sixth-tier sailing warship, but this does not stop the black buffalo from attacking this kind of sail. The awe of the battleship.

Even those armed inland river transport ships carrying smaller calibers, the black buffalo knows that they are not the existence they can afford.

However, the news brought back by those elite soldiers shocked the black buffalo.

The French organized several offensives, and the Cherokees were beaten back without exception. The French ship was destroyed by a more powerful and longer range artillery without even getting close to the dock. !

The descriptions of the elite soldiers were so detailed that the black buffaloes were shocked.

At the invitation of the French, he took the French armed inland water transport ship to the stronghold called St. Louis built by the French, and there he had seen a salvo of artillery fired from the smallest inland armed transport ship. Situation, that kind of power can really scare people to death.

But with such a powerful ship, how could it be impossible to defeat the Cherokee?

But the news brought back by the soldiers did not allow him to doubt. Because all fighters say so.

"Those Cherokee who occupied the French fortress have a powerful artillery with a very long range. The most important thing is that the shell of this artillery is not like the French artillery, which is launched by an iron ball. The shells fired by the Cherokee’s artillery will explode. The power is so great. As long as the French inland water transport ship is hit by one shot, there is basically no possibility of survival."

Although these fighters have different opinions, they all express almost the same meaning.

It was the news brought back by these fighters that made the Black Buffalo attach great importance to the Cherokee to the point where it was extremely important and even frightened!

No wonder the Cherokee can annex two tribes in such a short period of time. They possess such a powerful firearm. Who can stop them?

Your own fighter?

The black buffalo doesn't think so.

He can sit on the position of chief of the mighty Osaqi clan~lightnovelpub.net~ is naturally a very shrewd figure. He certainly didn't think that his own fighters with bone spears and bows could withstand such powerful firearms.

But now it is obvious that the Cherokees have to cross the river to attack the area west of the river, and their tribe happens to be the first target of the Cherokee attack.

The black buffalo knows very well that although the Osaqi tribe is very powerful, it is absolutely unable to resist the advancement of the Cherokee.

So under this circumstance, the black buffalo immediately sent an emissary to the royal court of those allies and invited the high-level officials of the allies to discuss this matter.

Although the black water buffalo doesn't know the idiom "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold", he still understands the same truth.

The messenger he sent out to bring news to those allies is very simple-we Osakis alone can never stop the Cherokee attack, if we Osakis cannot withstand the Cherokee attack, then You can never resist! Even if the powerful Sioux League came, they couldn't resist it! Only if we unite, gather enough fighters, and then find the best terrain, we may be able to stop the Cherokee from advancing westward!
