The campaign process of Xiaojujiaohe Campaign

Although the United States issued a tough statement, many Indians not only refused to listen to such threats, but joined the Indian League led by sitting bull and Crazy Horse Song and Dance Show, left the reservation and settled in the yellowstone river Valley. Conflicts with local new immigrants also occur from time to time. The United States ordered the punishment of these Indians who disobeyed orders and refused to go to the reservation. Knowing that the Indians gathered in the northwest of Braque Mountain and sitting bull was the leader, they decided to attack from different directions at the same time, but the plan was postponed by the cold winter.

The commander-in-chief is philip sheridan. These three main forces are led by Crook, Gibbon and General alfred howe terry. Among Terry's troops, there is also the Seventh Cavalry Corps led by Lieutenant Colonel Caster.

When spring comes, the American army moves forward again. After a month's advance, Terry's army reached the mouth of the Rosebud River. He sent scouts to speculate that the Sioux were stationed on the banks of the little giant Horn. Terry Paikaster and the Seventh Cavalry headed for the southwest mountain area, while his own troops approached from the side with artillery and infantry. His strategy was to surround the Indians and defeat them in the little giant Horne River with all his army.

Three days later, Custer and his cavalry approached the huge Indian camp built on the banks of the little giant Horn. India's military strength has not been discovered or ignored: there are 4,000 to 5,000 Indians, including about 2,500 soldiers. Caster ignored Terry's orders to wait for the rendezvous point and prepared to attack immediately. He divided the cavalry into three roads, two of which attacked from the side, and he led 2 1 1 cavalry to attack from the front. This is June 25th, 1876.

Caster's arbitrary and unauthorized actions led to the collapse. Unexpectedly, the Indian army was so brave that his troops fell into a panic of fear. In the end, including him, the 2 1 1 cavalry who personally led the frontal attack was wiped out. The other two armies also met with fierce counterattacks. It was not until two days later that Terry led the army that the remaining troops were rescued.

After the battle, the Indians examined these bodies, stripped them naked and destroyed them in military uniforms, because they believed that the dead souls whose bodies were destroyed would not be able to reach the netherworld, and they would not have to meet the enemy after their death. For some reason, they stripped Kaster naked, but his body was intact. The earliest American statement was because Indians revered his fighting spirit. Later, it gradually appeared because Caster was not wearing a military uniform, Indians thought he was not a soldier, and because Caster had begun to lose his hair at that time, Indians thought such a head was not worth being taken as a trophy, and so on.

After the Battle of Little Bighorn Sheep, the Indians dispersed. They did defeat Custer, but they also knew that the Indian era was over, and they could no longer resist these white people. In the United States, the great hero of the Civil War was actually killed in the centenary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he wanted to put out the red fan. In the name of comforting the hero, thousands of cavalry units were sent to fight in this area one after another. In the following year, they mercilessly chased the Indians who fled after the battle and forced the chiefs to bow down.
