Chapter 507: Pingding Great Southwest

Although in later generations the Navajo became the most-preserved Indian tribe in the entire United States, at this time, compared to the Apaches or even the Comanche, the Navajos are much inferior.

Even if there are more Navajos than Apaches and Comanchees at this time, this will not change the relatively weak position of the Navajos.

However, compared with the Pueblo, the Navajo, who are also aboriginal in the southwest, are still much stronger.

But this kind of strength is paperless in front of the Grim Bear Army.

The Grim Bears even collapsed from the Comanche, and it forced the more sturdy Apaches to escape. How could the Navajo be able to resist the Grizzlies?

The fact is also true. When the violent bear army "escorted" the Apaches all the way westward, and finally allowed the Apaches to continue westward near the later Yuma, the violent bear army began to move north along the Colorado River valley.

Don't look at the Navajo territory is not far from the Apache territory, but there are many mountains between the two. Between the Colorado Plateau, where the Navajo people live, and the Apache area, there are many scattered high mountains, but these high mountains must have the Grim Bear army travel a long way to reach Navajo People's turf.

And going north along the Colorado River is undoubtedly the best way to go.

Of course, this area from Yuma to the north along the Colorado River will also become a place under the control of the Grim Bear Army. If the Apaches regret that they want to return from California in the future, then the Colorado River will become a natural barrier, and this moat will also provide enough time for the Grim Bears to react.

If the Navajo can be successfully taken down, then the entire Southwest can rely on the steep Rocky Mountains and the rushing Colorado River to form a sufficiently stable line of defense to protect the safety of the Great Southwest.

The situation near the Colorado River in this era is much stronger than in later generations. Later Americans built the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River, and as a result, the entire Colorado River was cut off. Although a huge artificial lake like Lake Mead was formed, it also provided sufficient water sources for cities such as Las Vegas. , But it caused an irreversible and devastating blow to the ecology of the lower Colorado River.

The construction of the Hoover Dam has reduced the originally large area of ​​the downstream grassland in just a few decades, causing a devastating blow to the local ecology that is almost irreversible. But at this time, there is no Hoover Dam and no Lake Mead, so the grassland area in the valley of the lower Colorado River is still very large.

In fact, the migration of the Navajo people took place along the valley of the Colorado River. In spring, they will descend south along the Colorado River from the Colorado Plateau, stay in the fertile lower river valley until autumn, and then go north before the winter begins, entering the deep Colorado Grand Canyon, relying on the shelter of the Grand Canyon to escape the winter cold. wind.

Only this time, under the leadership of the Pueblos, the Grim Bears marched north along the Colorado River valley and directly touched the Navajo door from the back.

The Navajo obviously did not expect the Grim Bear Army to have such a weird marching route. Their large forces were arranged in the southeast direction, relying on the local terrain to try to resist the invasion of the Grim Bear Army.

But it is a pity that Shi Xiong's unreasonable "back door" marching route really caught the Navajo by surprise.

When the Grim Bears appeared at the back door of the Navajo, all the Navajo were dumbfounded.

Of course they already knew how powerful the Grim Bear Army was. Of the more than 4,000 elite fighters they sent out, fewer than 300 returned from that battle. Especially after the soldiers who ran back and the high-level narratives about the horror of the Grim Bear Army, the Navajos were actually shivered.

It's just that they obviously don't want to just surrender and disarm, so they still try to rely on the local favorable terrain to resist the Grizzly Bear Army. Unexpectedly, this unreasonable march of the Grim Bear Army completely disrupted the Navajo's preparations.

Therefore, twenty-four huge hot air balloons rose again in the sky, and when the army of tens of thousands of violent bears pressed against the Navajo's door aggressively, the Navajo Palace hiding behind completely collapsed.

Even if they want to resist, there is no one.

Their large forces are all located in the southeast direction hundreds of miles away from the king's court, far away cannot quench their thirst. And even if the tribe's troops came back, I am afraid it would be difficult to resist this wolf-like Cherokee.

Therefore, the chief of the Navajo people, the Black Hawk, happily led the top of the royal court to walk out.

Facing this old guy named Black Hawk, Shi Xiong couldn't help but smile a little. Although he knew that the famous Black Shadow helicopter used by American Army Aviation was named after the chief of the Sok clan, the chief in front of him was also called Black Hawk.

The pressure brought by the Grim Bear Army to the Navajo is undoubtedly very huge. When facing the Grim Bear Army armed to the teeth, even the chief of the Black Hawk had to lower his noble head.

Especially when he learned from the mouths of the Pueblos who followed the Grim Bear army that the Comanche had completely surrendered, and the powerful Apache had been forced by the Grim Bear army to escape. , Black Hawk finally recognized the current facts.

The fact is simple, there are only two paths before him. One is to completely submit, then the entire Navajo Nation will be preserved intact. The second way is to resist to the end, and then the entire Navajo may disappear completely in the long river of history.

Under such circumstances, Black Hawk made a wise choice.

Like the Pueblos, they surrendered to the Grim Bear army.

Of course, Shixiong may have given them good terms. For example, they can continue to live here and manage the Southwest with the Pueblo people. For example, they will get more food and learn more advanced farming methods, especially they will receive education.

The Navajo people don't know what education is ~lightnovelpub.net~ but more food and advanced farming methods are what they need most.

Although it is necessary to pay other costs to get these, those costs are nothing compared to the fact that they are now annihilated by the Grim Bear Army.

And Stone Bear also promised that the Navajo will receive the same treatment as the Pueblo. Every year, three thousand fighters from the tribe will be selected to join the Grizzly Army mixed division. Each fighter will serve three times. year

In order to maintain the stability of the southwest region, Shi Xiong did not hesitate to carry over the military service methods of future generations of soldiers. This is the three-year conscript’s military service.

This will speed up the integration of the tribes into the Cherokee tribe as soon as possible, and also stabilize the place. How can Stone Bear let go of things that kill two birds with one stone?

In this way, after a winter of expeditions, the four large tribes entrenched in the Southwest, one disabled, one escaped and two returned, the entire Southwestern region was completely calmed down!
