Text Chapter 210 Corpses in front of Lake Ontario Camp

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The area outside the Lake Ontario camp was in a mess, and Emma and the others stationed here looked solemn.

    Outside the camp, there were many corpses lying in various directions.

    In the camp, the geneticists placed their matchlock guns in the gap and observed the situation outside.

    In the past few days, they have repelled several enemy attacks.

    These enemies came from Quebec, and they were troops sent into the Iroquois region.

    I don¡¯t know how it happened, but these people actually found Emma¡¯s camp in Lake Ontario and launched an attack.

    They simply don¡¯t know that Quebec has already signed some agreements with these people.  They just saw that there were some items in this place that made them jealous, and then they launched an attack driven by greed.

    In the eyes of these people, this may be just a small tribe in the Iroquois Union, and they didn't think much about it at all.

    Along the way, they didn¡¯t know how many small tribes and villages they destroyed.

    Originally, everything was under the control of these people. They thought that it would not take long to conquer this tribe and then seize the items in this tribe.

    "It's a pity that after they launched the attack, they discovered that the opponent's weapon was sharper than they imagined.  Their tenacity in fighting also surprised them.

    After several attacks, apart from losing two to three hundred lives on the periphery, these people made no progress at all.

    This made them very discouraged.

    Damn it, when did the Iroquois have such a difficult tribe to deal with?

    The commander of this team, the Frenchman Simond, was really helpless about this situation.

    "We have been delayed here for three days, but we have not even broken through the opponent's camp. This is very detrimental to us. I am worried that our whereabouts have been exposed and will attract the Iroquois army."

    In the temporary camp, Simond reminded his officers.

    Now that their attack on this small tribe is not going smoothly, Simond has begun to want to withdraw his troops.

    After all, the main purpose of their troops entering the Iroquois-controlled area was to cause trouble and destroy those small villages.

    ¡°And they only numbered more than a thousand people. If they encountered a large Iroquois army, their number of people would not be enough to fill their teeth.

    Therefore, for them, it is the most correct way to quickly transfer the team after the fight.

    However, when they accidentally encountered the Lake Ontario tribe, they actually gave up this combat method.

    The reason is simple, because they found that there are many products such as porcelain and tea in this tribe.

    Once the thought of greed arises in the mind, it cannot be suppressed so easily.

    Driven by the dream of getting rich, they began to attack this small tribe.

    "It's a pity that the reality is very cruel. Their attacks were not effective at all and they suffered heavy losses.

    Under the huge loss of personnel, the tribe's commander Simond began to wake up. When he woke up, he immediately summoned his men and told them his plan.

    "Colonel, we have been attacking for three days, are we going to waste all our efforts like this?"

    "Yes, Colonel, we have been attacking for three days. Although we have lost a lot of soldiers, we still have an advantage in numbers, and the enemy must be exhausted."

    "Colonel, we must not give up and try again. Maybe with a few more attacks, we can conquer this camp."

    As soon as Simon said this, his men all started to persuade him.

    Yes, they haven¡¯t woken up yet.  Nowadays, these people's minds are still filled with the illusion of exquisite porcelain and tea leaves, as well as the golden gold coins.

    They fought all the way, and although they destroyed many small Iroquois villages, they didn't get many valuable things at all.

    They simply can¡¯t take the more valuable furs with them.

    After all, they still have to fight continuously.

    Therefore, during this period of time, they have not received any substantial benefits at all.

    "And what are these people fighting for? Isn't it just for money?"

    Soldiers from various European countries in this era have no concept of defending their homeland.

    Strictly speaking, their current concepts are similar to those observed by soldiers during the Republic of China.  AllIt is natural for soldiers to eat food, and fighting is to make a fortune.

    If you don¡¯t make them rich, that¡¯s absolutely not possible.

    "We have been wasted here for three days, which has made us very dangerous. Judging from the current situation, I am also worried that we will not be able to capture this camp in another three days."

    Simond expressed his thoughts to his subordinates very seriously.

    "And don't forget, there may be an Iroquois army around us at any time. Their number is much larger than ours. If we don't pay attention, we may be in a situation where we are attacked from both sides.  .¡±

    The more Simon spoke, the more serious his expression became, and the expressions of the junior officers also gradually became serious.

    What Simond said is good. They have been blinded by greed. Now after Simond reminded them, they finally remembered the situation they are facing now.

    "The colonel is right. I think you are all dizzy. We must evacuate this place now, otherwise we will be surrounded. Life is more important to me. As long as I am still alive, I am afraid  Can't I make a fortune? But if I die, there will really be nothing left."

    Soon after, some people joined Simond.

    For a time, everyone divided into two groups and started to quarrel.

    Simond's eyelids twitched, and he shouted: "Don't make any noise, I ordered you to evacuate this place immediately." Then he looked around with a fierce look, and his angry eyes kept looking from those who were still greedy.  The expressions on the faces of the guys whose thoughts were occupying their minds were very unnatural.

    "Don't you take a careful look at the terrain here. There are two mountain peaks blocking it, and there is only one valley passage leading to the outside world. If the Iroquois tribal governor blocks the passage leading to the outside, then we will definitely be trapped and die.  Here. I don¡¯t believe that at that time, will we still have hope of survival?¡±

    Simond gritted his teeth and really scolded these guys in his heart for being blinded by greed.

    "Yes, the colonel is right. We really can't continue to attack like this. The terrain here is a bit troublesome. If we continue to attack, we will probably be trapped and die here as the colonel said."

    Someone nodded, agreeing with what Simond said.

    Most of the people have been persuaded by Simond.

    "Let's go, we have many opportunities to make a fortune. This time it is a failure, but we will definitely defeat this tribe next time. After all, we are not very rich in time now, so it is very difficult for us to capture this camp in a short time.  Unrealistic."

    The small meeting ended, and the French and the Indians who vassalized themselves began to pack up and prepare to retreat.

    The gene man observing the situation on the watchtower in the camp immediately reported the developments here to Emma.

    After learning the news, Emma quickly came to the watchtower to take a look.

    Sure enough, the enemies on the opposite side were hurriedly cleaning up and began to slowly retreat towards the mouth of the valley.

    "Do we need to pursue it?"

    The captain of the gene team asked Emma.

    After hearing this, Emma thought for a while and shook her head.

    "No, since the enemy wants to retreat, let them retreat. There is no need for us to risk chasing them. After all, we can't be sure whether this is a trap deliberately lured by the enemy."

    Because Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan are not here, Emma becomes the highest officer.

    With the lives of hundreds of people on her shoulders, her orders would have a huge impact, so she couldn't help but be careless.

    "Okay, I'll pass this on and let the soldiers continue to stay at their positions."

    The genetic man team leader who was following Emma nodded.

    Emma¡¯s caution allowed Simond and his group to safely exit the area.

    However, one day later, they encountered Cayuga tribe warriors.  After a battle between the two armies, Simond's side lost a lot of men, so they had to retreat to Quebec.

    Anyway, they have almost finished what they have to do. If the Cayuga tribe of the Iroquois United discovers them, they will definitely report their matter.

    "And when the Iroquois knew that the destruction of villages was done by the Quebecers, they would definitely retaliate.

    The war will begin from now on.

    Three days later, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan returned to their camp in Lake Ontario.

    existThere was also a strange woman in their team.

    This woman is none other than the widow Sarah, the legal lord of Quebek, the heir to the Samuel family.

    Although the enemy retreated for three days, Emma strictly ordered the soldiers not to walk out of the camp at will, in order to guard against the insidious methods of the white-skins.

    Therefore, the bodies outside the camp were not picked up, and they just fell outside the camp in the ice and snow.

    "Your Highness, our camp seems to have experienced war."

    After walking out of the passage and seeing the camp, Wang Shan first noticed something was wrong.

    Because it was winter, those corpses lay in the ice and snow, so there was no need to worry about them rotting or deteriorating.

    Zhao Hongyu frowned tightly.

    shelf!

    His heart skipped a beat, and a very bad feeling came over him.

    ¡°It¡¯s best that nothing happens to Emma. What kind of enemy is this?

    Zhao Hongyu said nothing, but shook the reins in his hands and galloped towards Yindi.

    Wang Shan urged his horses to follow closely.

    From a distance, the sentinels in Yindi spotted Zhao Hongyu and the others.

    clang clang clang!

    "His Highness is back! His Highness is back!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it as a registered member of Piaotian Literature. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
