According to Arnold's experience, as long as you distance yourself from the woods and set up a defensive line of several hundred people on the prairie, you can effectively counter the surprise attacks of the Indians.
However, what he did not expect was that the Indians he encountered this time were somewhat different.
Little Turtle saw the Americans starting to retreat through the forest smoke, immediately made a rapid "hoo hoo" sound, and jumped down from the tree.
The surrounding Indian captains followed with various whistling sounds, and within a 1.5-kilometer radius, Indian soldiers emerged from the bushes.
Little Turtle was the first to walk out of the bushes, with 1,700 Indians continuously gathering around him.
On the two flanks and rear of their team, over 80 veteran French soldiers helped the captains maintain distance from the enemy to avoid straying into the Americans' firing range.
