- "Bartoni, have you ever thought about it? Even if we can break through the Iroquois siege, where can we go after that?" After Bartoni yelled at the big guy with hatred, he finally said Someone spoke. "You must also know about the Indians. In the plains, forests, swamps and grass, the Indians are as powerful and strange as ghosts. There is no way for us to escape their pursuit."
Because everyone knows the strength and methods of the Indians, when this person said this, everyone had a look of concern on their faces.
"If it were still winter, maybe we wouldn't have to worry about this issue. But now winter is over and spring has come."
This man¡¯s words made Bartoni also fall silent.
He admitted that the person who spoke was not wrong at all.
Even if they break through the siege, they will still have to face the pursuit of the Indians.
The pressure they will face and the pressure they will face will be almost as cruel as those stationed in Quebec City.
By that time, everyone will be like a frightened bird, worrying about everything all the time.
Those Iroquois natives would attack when they were marching, when they were eating and sleeping, and they would attack at any time.
In the grass, behind the trees, behind the earth.
God knows when and from what angle an arrow or blow dart will be shot and take away their lives.
This kind of scene makes people shudder just by imagining it.
"You're right." Bartoni nodded, acknowledging that the other party was right. However, he still insisted on what he considered the choice, saying: "But even so, I still think we have to break out. Only in this way can we have a glimmer of hope of survival."
He looked at everyone very seriously, with a very serious expression.
"I think everyone here doesn't want to die. Everyone also wants to live, right?"
Faced with Bartoni¡¯s question, everyone said in their hearts, ¡®This is nonsense¡¯.
Yes, who doesn¡¯t want to live?
"As a person, he doesn't want to die.
This is also a normal thing.
Unless they are the kind of pervert who is born with self-destructive tendencies, no one is willing to die.
"It seems that everyone thinks what I said is right. If everyone wants to live, then why not take a gamble for their own lives. As long as we succeed, we can live."
Bartoni said to everyone very seriously.
After hearing what Bartoni said, everyone fell silent.
No one said what he said was wrong.
Before anyone could speak, Bartoni continued: "Since some people ask where we can go after we break through. Then I can tell you clearly here that in fact we do not have nowhere to go. At least in my plan we There is a place to go that is completely safe."
His words suddenly made everyone look over excitedly.
"Bartoni, where is the place you plan to go? Stop being so secretive and tell us as soon as possible."
Bartoni put his hands on the table in front of him, leaned forward slightly and looked at everyone, and said seriously: "After we break out from here, we can retreat all the way to the south. Wherever there is a very powerful country, where can we Very safe.¡±
When Bartoni revealed the last part of his plan, everyone exclaimed.
"Yeah, why didn't we think of that place?"
"Are you talking about Manhattan?"
"Yes, if we can retreat to that place, then our safety is indeed guaranteed. The Iroquois alone have no way to challenge the other party."
The French in Quebec are also very aware of what is going on in Manhattan.
After all, there are many French ships in Manhattan buying goods there, and some ships even arrive in Quebec from Europe and then go to Manhattan to buy goods.
"Bartoni, your plan is indeed very good, but I am still a little worried. We are not familiar with the other party. Even if we retreat to Manhattan, why should the other party provide us with protection?"
Someone raised a different view and concern.
As soon as this person spoke, everyone who was still a little happy fell silent again.
??Yes, why should people from that country accept them and provide them with security?
This is completely unreasonable.
¡°Besides, if the Song people in Manhattan accepted them, they would definitely be at odds with the Iroquois.
And they had no way to bring any benefits to the Song Empire, so there was no need to offend the Iroquois because of them.
Looking at the big guy who fell silent again, Barnik smiled calmly.
"Don't worry, I'm very confident that we will definitely get support and safety in Manhattan. But this has a prerequisite, that is, we can break out and reach Manhattan smoothly."
Bartoni¡¯s words once again lifted everyone¡¯s spirits.
Everyone looked at Bartoni with a calm smile. They didn't know why Bartoni was so confident.
"Why do you say that? Is there any reason behind this that we don't know about?"
Soon, a smart person guessed something.
It¡¯s just a pity that the difference between the speculation and the facts is too big.
Bartoni didn¡¯t want to hide anything. After all, there was no point in hiding these things at such a time.
So, Bartoni told everyone the reason why he was so confident.
"Don't you know it yet? Our lord of Quebec, Ms. Sarah, has become the woman of the Crown Prince of the Song Empire. She is also the future queen of the empire. Of course, this queen is only ranked second because people from the Song Empire can Marrying many wives is different from us."
Well! It turns out that¡¯s the reason.
After listening to Bartoni tell the reason, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up.
If what Bartoni said is true, then it is really possible for them to go to Manhattan.
As the lord of Quebec, Ms. Sarah will not leave them alone.
As for how Bartoni knew these people, no one has explored it now.
In short, his plan is very feasible.
"This plan is very good, but we estimate that there will not be many people who can break through and survive. It is estimated that we will not be able to take away the old, weak, sick and disabled in this fortress."
Someone sighed deeply and pointed out an aspect of the plan that could not be taken care of.
Yes, not everyone can participate in the breakout.
Those in the fortress who cannot hold weapons have no way to follow everyone.
Even if they were lucky enough to follow everyone and break out, they would not be able to escape the Iroquois attacks on the way.
In short, this plan can only allow those strong elites to escape smoothly and save their lives. As for the other people, there is no guarantee.
Bartoni, also a doctor, sighed: "This plan is already very good. Compared with everyone dying here together, it is already very good."
Yes, what Bartoni said is not wrong at all.
Rather than die together in the Quebec Fortress, it is better to fight our way out to Manhattan.
¡°Besides, with Ms. Sarah in Manhattan, their lives won¡¯t be without a solution.
"Bartoni, didn't I just hear you say that you have two ways? Now you have only said one of them, so what is the other way that can get us out of this predicament?"
At this time, someone suddenly remembered what Bartoni said just now and asked.
¡°Oh, actually these two roads of mine are also related to Manhattan.¡± Bartoni replied. "Considering that Ms. Sara is married to the crown prince of the Song Empire, Quebec, as Ms. Sara's private territory, will definitely be incorporated into the Song Empire."
When Bartoni said this, everyone seemed to understand.
But listen to him continue: "Then we can think about it. Since our Quebec belongs to the Song Empire, doesn't the Iroquois attacking Quebec mean that they are fighting against the Song Empire? We only need to send people out to Manhattan and find it. If it¡¯s Ms. Sara, then Ms. Sara will definitely not ignore us.¡±
Bartoni sat down again and told everyone his second plan.
"With Miss Sara's help, and the territory here in Quebec is Miss Sara's private territory, the Song Empire is determined to help us, and the possibility of sending troops?Big. Therefore, my second option is to ask the Song Empire to send troops to solve the crisis for us. "
Speaking of this, Bartoni said to everyone sincerely: "We can't count on the mainland. If you ask me, it is more reliable to count on reinforcements from Manhattan. After all, they are very close to us, and it only takes a short time to reach them." Come to us. But we need to select some people and let them stand out."
Wellyes, those who go to Manhattan really need to choose carefully.
First of all, they must have outstanding force so that they can escape smoothly. After all, there are so many Iroquois outside. At the same time, they had to be able to evade the pursuit of the Iroquois and successfully escape from the attacks of these natives.
Ordinary people will definitely not be able to do it. They must be those who often interact with the indigenous people and are familiar with everything here.
Of course, there are such people.
Many French people have lived in America for many years after they came to America.
Like the Indians, they make a living by hunting.
Therefore, they all have good skills.
You know, when Indians learn from white people, white people are also learning from Indians.
Besides, there are still many vassal Indian warriors in the fortress. Because of this war, they had no choice but to enter the fortress.
In this war, these native Indians who were vassal to the French were of great use.
It was precisely because of their presence that the French were able to repel numerous Iroquois attacks in these months.
Not all of the Indians who were vassal to the French entered the fortress, and more tribes were scattered outside the fortress.
They also continued to attack the Iroquois during these months, preventing them from attacking the fort wholeheartedly.
Without these Indians, it is estimated that the fortress of Quebec would either fall or the pressure would be several times greater.
"So what do you think about these two approaches?" After finishing speaking, Bartoni asked. He has said everything that needs to be said now, and also provided two options for everyone.
Now we just wait to see which one you guys choose.
??To be honest, both options have their own pros and cons.
Finally, after some discussion, everyone unanimously chose the second option, which was to send people to Manhattan for help.
Now that you have made your choice, the next thing is simple.
Now they just need to select some suitable people and run out as death squads.
However, the candidates for these death squads need to be carefully selected. This is not just about being brave and not afraid of death. Don't send them out and die at the hands of the Iroquois. That will delay the big thing.
"Choose some Qazi warriors. They have been warriors for generations and are good at hiding themselves in the forest. I believe they can easily escape the Iroquois attacks. At the same time, we can also send some elite warriors to accompany them. After all, When we get to Manhattan, we still need to find Count Sarah."
In the end, it was Bartoni who set the tone.
With Bartoni setting the tone, the next thing becomes simple.
"It's spring now, and it's very foggy in the morning. The kamikaze can attack from the south gate and then cross the St. Lawrence River to the other side. It's impossible for the Iroquois to find it. After all, the river is full of thick fog in the morning. The white mist, as long as they are careful, it is not difficult to enter the forest at the southern end."
After the death squads were selected, Bartoni began to plan.
Yes, there is very heavy fog in the spring in the American continent at this time.
Visibility is even only one meter, and it's still blurry.
Because of the temperature difference and the lush vegetation in this era, it is also very common for this kind of dense fog to occur.
It is precisely because of this natural phenomenon that Europeans hate spring, autumn and summer in America very much, because Indians will be very active in these three seasons.
Therefore, most of the conflicts between white people and Indians occurred during these three seasons. This is especially true in spring and autumn when dense fog occurs most frequently.
Because of the thick fog, the Indians made the Europeans suffer enough.
The buzzword "Indian Spring" is spread among Europeans for a fundamental reason.
On the contrary, Europeans like winter very much.
Because Indians basically don¡¯t come out in winter, Europeans like winter very much.
However, this annoying season and fog have become a life-saving straw for the French. (To be continued.
