This scenario has already played out in history when Hernan Cortez took on the entire Aztec empire with only about 40 men. And those were not even modern firearms.

40 men plus a lot of natives from other tribes who weren't big fans of the Aztecs taking their members to slice their hearts out to keep the sun rising every day.

Cortez had 200,000 native allies against the Aztecs, at least by some accounts.

Mastiffs and war horses were pretty intimidating.
