The Rushers (2013)
“They heard the drumming of the hooves and the wild yells and turned to face three hard-riding white men each handling a lead-spitting weapon with deadly accuracy. Taken by surprise, with three of their number down in the first seconds of the rush, the braves scattered and the Texans passed through them unscathed. Cavalry-trained, van Druten’s horse ran at Dusty’s side and followed the small Texan through the gap into the wagon circle. Even as the three Texans joined the soldiers, a hideous roar rose from the remainder of the Sioux and another attack began.
‘Here they come!’ whooped the Kid, jerking a box of bullets from his saddle-pouch and sprinting after Dusty.
Faced by the awe-inspiring charge, the recruits showed signs of panic. Even the Ysabel Kid, who usually claimed that only Comanche and Apache were real bad Indians, conceded that the attacking Hunkpapa Sioux looked tolerable mean hombres and right likely to make things lively in a fight.
