Although the black buffalo is the chief of the OSACHI people, he has never been a greedy person, at least in his own understanding, he has always been such a person.
Therefore, in the face of the fierce Cherokee, he naturally led the soldiers under his command and the soldiers supported by his allies, and set up the largest battle line in the history of the whole tribe in a terrain favorable to his own side.
The black buffalo knew that the Cherokees had a very powerful gun, and he also admitted that the weapons of the osaqis and their allies were far less powerful than those of the Cherokees.
But what about that?
The black buffalo didn't send spies to investigate the Cherokee people. When he found out that the Cherokee people who came here this time were only about 10000, the black buffalo was very unhappy!
Is it possible that the powerful osaqis can only ask you Cherokees to send just 10000 people?
However, when the black buffalo learned that the Cherokees were marching along the valley, he was happy again.
I have already judged that you are going this way, so I have prepared a big gift for you here! Don't you look down on us osaqis? But you won't know that we osaqis are not the only ones who welcome you this time, but also our many allies!
Hum, no matter how powerful you are, can you beat more than 50000 with only 10000 people?
The black buffalo, which has been in a strong state for a long time, never thought about the possibility of their powerful coalition's failure.
In the eyes of the black buffalo, a force of 50000 people is a huge force that can sweep across the great plain and beyond. Not to mention the Cherokees, even the powerful seven color flame alliance and the Kerry people farther north are definitely not the opponents of this powerful force!
An army of 50000! This is a powerful force composed of pure soldiers. If you include the people who provide logistics for these soldiers, there are more than 80000 people!
This huge force makes the black buffalo full of confidence.
But when he thought about the number of buffaloes, bison and other prey that the army ate every day, even the black buffalo couldn't help gasping.
What this army eats every day is consumed by the whole tribe.
Fortunately, the Cherokees came quickly. If they came a little later, this huge force might not be attacked by the enemy, and they would be completely dissolved because of the problem of food
Standing on the top of the highest mountain behind the battle, the black buffalo watched the Cherokee approaching slowly. His heart was full of excitement before the battle!
He even had an impulse to let his men attack the Cherokee army before the Cherokee had a firm foothold. Maybe we can get rid of these Cherokees in a moment!
After all, there are 20000 people under his direct control alone! If you add in the soldiers of those affiliated tribes, the number will reach an astonishing 35000!
I'm afraid there have never been so many soldiers in this great plain!
Although the impulse in my heart is so strong, the black buffalo still stifles it.
To charge, the Omaha, arapahos or Cheyenne have to charge in front. Although you are allies, aren't your allies used to block the front?
The black buffalo stood still, surrounded by the chiefs of the affiliated tribes and the top commanders of the three allies.
"Chief black buffalo, why did the Cherokees stop? Shall we take the opportunity to attack them? " A man with a seven color headdress asked. Obviously, from this guy's headdress, we can see that he is also a chief. It's supposed to be the chief of a subordinate tribe of the osaqis.
The black buffalo took a look at this guy and shook his head slightly. "We can't rush out, because that will cause the death of many of our soldiers. We've got the best terrain, we've got more fighters than the enemy, we just need to wait for the Cherokees here. They won't be our opponents in any case! "
Although he rejected the chief's request, the black buffalo actually had some regrets. It seems that many people have the same idea as they just thought.
Just as the black buffalo said this, Kuaima was a little relieved about two kilometers in front of the Osage coalition.
What he was most worried about was that the enemy would launch a full charge when the first division was not firmly established.
Although the first division was not afraid of the whole enemy's charge, it was not the best situation for the first division to be quiet. The weapons of the first division need a good position to give full play to all their power.
Even just now, in order to prevent the Osage allied forces from charging, during the previous March, Kuaima specially placed all the catapults in the outer ring of the large forces, while the mortars were placed in the second layer.
Once the enemy really takes advantage of the unstable position of the first division to launch a charge, it will have to rely on a large number of grenades to carry out indiscriminate coverage bombing on the enemy.
Kuaima doesn't worry that the enemy will be able to rush through the area covered by the grenade. With a total of 900 grenades, let alone a mere 50000 people, even if there are twice as many people, they will definitely not be able to rush through the death zone between 500 meters and 200 meters.
But in that case, the tactics of persuading and deterring the enemy to reduce the number of casualties as much as possible will not be realized.
Others don't know. As the best brother of stone bear, Kuaima knows how much his boss attaches importance to population. Even if these people are enemies, his boss can't bear to kill them on a large scale.
Therefore, after seeing that the Osage coalition did not launch a charge at the first time, Kuaima was completely relieved.
Under the gaze of the Osage coalition of more than 50000 people, 10000 soldiers of the first division of the bear army began to build positions about two kilometers away from the enemy's front.
In fact, it's not very complicated to build positions. It's just to set out all arms according to the range of their weapons.
In front of the soldiers of the first division who have weapons with a range of at least 140 meters, there is no need to worry about the weapons of the Osage coalition which may have a range of only 180 meters.
When the officers and men of the first division were in position according to their respective commanders' orders, a huge open space flashed out in the center of the whole position.
This strange sight can be seen even by the black buffalo standing two kilometers away.
Why do these Cherokees have to make such a big space?
This is not only the question of the black buffalo, but also the question of all senior commanders of the Osage coalition
