The next journey proved Shi Xiong's self-confidence.

The Middle Route Army and the East Route Army are led by the Bighorn Sheep. Regardless of whether it is the Middle Route Army or the East Route Army, the targets of the conquest are not far apart. With the effective communication distance of the current radio station, as long as the Bighorn Sheep is centered for dispatch, there is absolutely no problem.

As for the Stone Bear, he led the five thousand guards and the cavalry of the First Division temporarily dismissed from the First Division, forming the Northern Expedition Cavalry, and followed the First Division overland to the north along the Mississippi River.

As the three-way army increased its marching speed, the whereabouts of the Elinay were finally fully understood.

Because whether it is the Stone Bear’s cavalry unit, the Central Route Army or the Eastern Route Army, on the marching road, you can always see the Elanai people who are dragging their families and walking **** the wasteland. Obviously, the Ileneites were scattered and fleeing. Some of them took refuge in Chippewa, some took refuge in Ottawa, and some were prepared to take refuge in Miami.

It's just that they really don't know, no matter where they flee or which tribe they join, their fate is doomed from the beginning-they will be captured by the Cherokee sooner or later and then assimilated and merged...

These Elenas are usually based on tribes, with tribes migrating in different directions. And judging from their migration route and itinerary, they have obviously been migrating for a long time.

But unfortunately, unless they started migrating last year, they really cannot compare with the marching speed of the regular army.

From the core area of ​​the Ilene people to the nearest Miami tribe, the straight-line distance is about more than 500 kilometers, to the territory of the Ottawas about more than 600 kilometers, and to the northernmost Chippewa territory is seven. More than a hundred kilometers.

Take the Eastern Route Army that is the closest to the marching route. For a distance of 500 kilometers, if the Eastern Route Army marches at full speed, it will only take more than ten days to run the 500 kilometers on their two legs.

However, it takes at least one and a half months to complete the 500-kilometer distance for the Ileneites to drag their homes with their own mouths!

This has to be said to be the case without heavy rain or strong wind.

Once God doesn't give a face, and it rains for a few days in a row, they can walk this part of the road in two months, even if they walk fast.

Therefore, whether it is the East Route Army, the Central Army, or the cavalry unit led by Shixiong, even if they did not advance at the speed of a rapid march, after only seven or eight days of departure, they began to catch up with the slow-walking Ilanai. people.

For these tribes, needless to say, just pack them away.

Just send a heavily armed platoon, you can **** one or two tribes to stay at the designated location. After gathering enough Elene people, leave a battalion casually by radio, and can take care of thousands of Elene people.

No matter it is a stone bear or a big horn sheep, they never worry that the Elenas who are packed away will sneak away by themselves. This era is not the 21st century. On the Great Plains of this era, there are beasts everywhere, dare to sneak away alone, it is purely to give those beasts snacks...

These Eleanians naturally knew the danger of the wasteland, so after being caught, they just stayed there.

The transport fleet convened from Shangjing via radio will bring a large amount of food to deliver food to these Ilene people.

No way, these people are all compatriots, so you can't let them starve to death.

Coupled with selecting a part of hunters to go out hunting every day, it is still no problem for these captured Elenas to temporarily protect their lives.

Shi Xiong did not expect to capture nearly 30,000 escaped Elenas in just a few days, and it really didn't cost a single shot.

If there is any regret, it is that there are about 30,000 Elenas who are running fast have arrived at their destination...

For this, Shi Xiong doesn’t mind, anyway, "Early death and late death is a relief"...Well, although the words mean this, it seems a bit wrong to express it. It seems that it should be "Run early and run late, sooner or later. All have to be caught"...

The speed of the cavalry can easily keep up with the ship, not to mention that the West Route Army is going upstream, even if it goes down the wind, they can't match the speed of the horse.

A one-hundred-kilometer journey per day can only be regarded as a semi-rush march for the cavalry unit.

Tep has become a burden. Although this guy can easily run a hundred kilometers a day, if he runs like this for several days, he can't stand it. So it was put on a boat by the stone bear, so this guy sat on the bow every day, watching the old man on the shore galloping his horse, he could only stare and howl...

The fleet traveled north along the Mississippi River and arrived in Minneapolis in a few days. In fact, when you get here, you have already entered the territory of Chippewa.

However, the advancement of the First Division and the cavalry troops did not stop, even if they encountered many Chippewa tribes along the way, they did not stop because of these small tribes.

This is not the time to waste time on these small tribes. Since they have decided to surprise the Chippewas, they must use the fastest speed and the shortest time to reach the Chippewas' lair. Even if the Chippewas of those tribes are going to report, they have to run faster than the cavalry.

Not to mention that under the order of the stone bear, the ranger as a scout has been tens of kilometers ahead. Once he encounters a Chippewa who is riding a horse and wants to escape and report the news, he will just kill him if he doesn't say anything!

Therefore, Shi Xiong hardly worried that the Chippewa would get news in advance.

Near Minneapolis, the Mississippi River merged into a wide river. Stone Bear knew that this river was another important tributary of the upper Mi River, the St. Croix River. This river was also the boundary between Wisconsin and Minnesota. , And continue north along this broad tributary, and you will be able to penetrate the Chippewa’s core control area.

The Chippewa people are also called Ojebowa people. They are an aboriginal tribe active in the Great Lakes region. They are concentrated around Lake Superior and speak the Ojebowa language. The Chippewa people are a settled ethnic group. They make a living by fishing and planting corn, pumpkins and cherries, and they have a relatively complete social structure.

In the original historical time and space, the Chippewa learned the use of muskets from the French and British ~lightnovelpub.net~, thus defeating the Lakotas of the Sioux Major League in the west and expanding their own Site. At the same time, the Chippewa were also the first Native Americans to sign a detailed treaty with the Europeans.

However, the Chippewa at this time were still far away. Although they had a large population and the harsh conditions created a large number of tough fighters, the Chippewa at this time was not in the original historical time and space for decades. After defeating the Chippewa of the Lakota.

In fact, even the Chippewa who defeated the Lakota was far from an opponent of the Grizzlies.

Don't forget, the Sioux League where the Lakota people belong has been completely conquered by the Grim Bears four years ago.

In this way, the scout strangled the Chippewa who wanted to report on horseback, and a large group followed closely. Only two days later, the fleet reached the upper reaches of the St. Croix River. It was no longer possible to sail ahead, so the First Division joined the cavalry unit again. At this time, they were not far from the court of Chippewa...

Shi Xiong used the speed of war horses and transport ships to play a North American version of Blitz in advance in this era...
