- A group of Mohawk elders originally came to Manhattan Island just because of the black bear. They have no interest at all in the so-called 'drill'.
Mainly because Black Bear said that Zhao Hongyu would provide everyone with a free lunch after watching the drill, so they came here.
However, after watching the drill, the originally dismissive thoughts of these Mohican elders were completely and completely changed.
Aren¡¯t the soldiers under Black Eyes using the same matchlock guns used by the White Skins?
That¡¯s right, it¡¯s a matchlock gun!
It¡¯s really unexpected that the matchlock gun can be used like this. It¡¯s really beyond my expectation.
Well, it seems that this weapon is indeed very powerful.
What did you see during this exercise?
There is something in your words, I didn¡¯t see anything, I just know that this tribe called ¡®Zhao¡¯ is very powerful. Although only a few hundred tribesmen were sent to help him, I have already seen how powerful their tribe is.
You can only see so much. What I see is him demonstrating to us, showing off their power.
The elders whispered to each other and talked in low voices.
Zhao Hongyu ignored these people¡¯s reactions because they were all within his expectations.
Instead, she whispered to Wang Shan and asked him to prepare lunch immediately. Then after asking Song Hu to take over the sweep team, he walked up to a kind of elder Mohawk.
"Five-stage continuous shooting is a more powerful way of fighting than white people. With close combat, white people will no longer look so scary."
After walking up to a kind of Mohawk elder, Zhao Hongyu said loudly to them calmly.
These Moxi Gan elders nodded one after another, thinking that Zhao Hongyu's words were true.
They watched the whole exercise and were deeply touched by this.
Under the five-stage continuous shooting, the wooden target used as a target was riddled with holes.
? ? This is such a hit rate even when the accuracy of the matchlock gun is really low.
A burst of crackling gunfire sounded, like a thunderbolt on dry land.
"If this were to happen on the battlefield before the two armies were engaged in battle, the impact on the morale of the army could be imagined.
??Especially with such a weapon, half of the enemy's active force is likely to be wiped out before charging in front of it. In this case, how can the war continue?
What¡¯s more important is that Zhao Hongyu showed another way of warfare and a new way of using the matchlock gun, the ¡®five-stage burst¡¯ mode, which shocked them too much.
This five-stage continuous shooting allows soldiers to continuously fire at the enemy without stopping for a moment.
This is the most terrifying.
Originally, a matchlock gunner needed a long process from cleaning the barrel, loading gunpowder, brazing bullets, compacting the ammunition and then aiming.
The skilled elite arquebusiers of this era in Europe could only fire a round in more than a minute.
It¡¯s not like the Mohicans have never had conflicts with Europeans, so they have a fairly good understanding of this type of European weapon.
In fact, within the Mohican tribe, there are also twenty or thirty matchlock guns traded from white people.
It¡¯s just that after the Mohicans used it, they felt that this weapon was not as useful as the bows and arrows in their hands, so they gave up using matchlocks.
This is not the era after the transformation of matchlock guns in the 18th century. In the 18th century, in order to adapt to the times, more sophisticated models with faster firing rates and more convenient use have appeared.
Therefore, even the Indians also used matchlock guns.
But, this was 1620 after all, and the matchlock gun was still in a very ancient category.
But Zhao Hongyu changed all this. He actually 'invented' the five-stage shooting method of combat, which can be regarded as completely changing the trend of history.
"Black Bear, if you were leading the Mohawk warriors, would you be able to win against these Black Eyed warriors?"
The old leader Samara also received the invitation and landed on Manhattan Island to watch Zhao Hongyu's tribal warrior drills.
After reading it, Samara asked the black bear following him in a low voice.
Black Bear thought for a while and replied: "In frontal combat, the whole army will definitely be annihilated, because I have no way to rush in front of them. This five-stage continuous shooting is too sharp." Black Bear told the truth, and Samara listened. There was silence after that, and I didn¡¯t know what he was doing at this time.What are you thinking about at this moment?
"However, if I fight them, I will not confront them head-on. I will use dense forests, swamps, grass, and ambushes to harass the enemy. We will try our best to use our advantages so that they cannot reveal the advantages of the matchlock gun. "
Black Bear also thought about this problem at this time. He asked himself that there was no way to fight such a warrior head-on. Because doing so is tantamount to committing suicide, and he, Black Bear, is not a fool.
However, although the matchlock tribe with the five-stage burst mode is extremely sharp, they are not without their weaknesses.
First of all, the matchlock is a long-distance attack weapon. Once the enemy approaches, the matchlock is useless. So if you want to defeat such enemies, you must figure out how to get close to them.
However, the enemy is not so easy to approach, so what should we do?
¡°This world is not afraid of you thinking about it, it¡¯s just afraid of you not thinking about it.
Black Bear can see that this five-stage continuous shot has its weaknesses.
That is, you must line up in a neat queue to display this five-stage continuous shooting mode and circulate it smoothly.
But in this way, his weakness was completely exposed.
If such a team encounters a sudden attack or an ambush. In such a situation, there may be no way to arrange them neatly in a short time.
And this will give the attacker a good chance to defeat them.
"But Black Bear didn't intend to make it too clear, he just said it vaguely. He did this just because he didn't want Samara to know too clearly.
"Although they have weaknesses, they are still very strong. I think we must get along better with Heitong, so as to avoid conflicts between us."
At this time, Samara already had a strong sense of crisis in her heart.
Yes, when Zhao Hongyu was weak, nothing mattered. At that time, Samara didn't think so much at all, so Zhao Hongyu easily obtained ownership of Manhattan Island.
¡° If Zhao Hongyu had such a team at that time, Samara would not have given Manhattan Island to Zhao Hongyu even if he was killed.
However, no one would have imagined that in just a few months, Zhao Hongyu would actually establish a small tribe on Manhattan Island in the eastern part of the Mohican.
Although Zhao Hongyu¡¯s tribe had less than a thousand people including slaves, which was much weaker than the Mohican tribe with a population of 10,000, it shocked Samara.
A tribe with less than a thousand people is actually not too small strictly speaking.
After crossing the Akalachi Mountains on the west side of the Mohican, there are many small tribes with less than a thousand people on the road leading to the western plains.
Even around the Mohican tribe, there are small tribes like this scattered around.
Especially Zhao Hongyu¡¯s tribe is different from other tribes. The warriors under his command are very proficient in fighting, and they are also proficient in the weapons of the white people, which makes people feel trembling.
Samara already felt that Zhao Hongyu was no longer so weak.
Now if you want to have a conflict with Zhao Hongyu, even a tribe as powerful as the Mohican tribe can't get any benefits.
It was precisely with this situation in mind that Samara said what he said to the black bear.
"Didn't we get along well with Heitong, and the cooperative trade was very smooth? Why did the leader say that?" After hearing what Samara said, Black Bear's heart sank.
He thought to himself: Black Eyes was right. It seems that his growth has already made the leader feel in danger.
It turns out that Zhao Hongyu told Black Bear about this before he wanted to perform.
And Zhao Hongyu also analyzed the black bear and the advantages and disadvantages that the exercise can bring.
??????????? Among these, there is the psychological change that may be caused by the top leaders of Mohawk after the drill.
Originally Black Bear didn¡¯t believe these things, but now he had to believe what Zhao Hongyu had said to him.
Samara didn't know what Black Bear was thinking now. He looked at the Manhattan Island Guards leaving under the leadership of Song Hu with gleaming eyes, and said to Black Bear: "With the arrival of the tribesmen, the power of Black Eyes has grown. Get up. This rapid growth has made some people in the tribe very panic, and even me a little scared. After all, it is not a good thing to have such a powerful tribe by your side."
Samara said what she and others were thinking at the moment.
The black bear¡¯s face is not clearSound and appearance, but in my heart I am very disdainful.
"Chief, no matter whether Heitong is powerful or not, he is our friend. The more powerful he is, the more beneficial it is to us. If it doesn't work, I will just make an alliance. With such a powerful ally, I don't think the tribesmen will You will object."
Black Bear is now completely on Zhao Hongyu¡¯s side, but he still wants to stay in the Mohican tribe and use his status to do something.
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he needed to do such a thing, Black Bear would have left Mohawk and joined Zhao Hongyu¡¯s small tribe.
"An alliance? You can consider this, but the elders' wishes also need to be taken into account, but I don't know if they think so."
After hearing the black bear¡¯s reminder, Samara nodded slightly and responded.
At this time, Wang Shan came over: "Dear leader Samara, the leader of our tribe, Heitong, sincerely invites you to have lunch with the elders of the Mohican tribe."
Not far away, some old and weak slaves who stayed on Manhattan Island had spread thick mats made of animal furs on the ground, and at the same time were placing the prepared food out.
Samara nodded and said, "Thank you so much."
