WI: No Massacare at Mystic

For those who don't know, the Massacre at mystic was when the British attacked a main Pequot (Native American) fort in the dead of night and killed all the inhabitants. However, in the battle the natives fought hard and the British had to burn the fort. Pequot native re-inforcements came to find a burning ruin filled with dead men, women and childrem as they were too late. The british then were able to wipe them out or enslave them.
What it the Pequot Re-inforcements came in time to stop the British attack from becoming a Massacare? What would each side do next?

It's a pretty obscure topic, you might want to provide some background like this....

One question, not from an expert by any means is this: Would the Pequot reinforcements under Sassacus be able to defeat the British and prevent the massacre?

However, even best case scenario, the Pequot are skill massively outnumbered by the English and their allies. Plus they're going to be hard pressed to find refuge anywhere else. I don't see their lot substantially improving from OTL.
 
If you reaaly want replies It helps to give the Wiki. most of us have no knowledge one way or the other about posts like this.

My feeling is a earlier return of The Pequot sachem Sassacus, and his few hundred warriors, pulls the attackers away from the entrance allowing some of the Women & Children to escape.
Sassacus and the Pequot, then flees westward, with the Pequot joining in and being absorbed by some other related western tribe.
