- Facing the Iroquois natives, the French in the Quebec Fortress not only had to endure the endless attacks from the other side, but also had to endure the big problem of no food and drink.
The people in the fortress have already begun to eat the corpses.
In order to survive, this is also something that cannot be done.
If there is still a way, then who can do such a thing.
The French, who claim to be world-famous, actually eat the same carrion at this time.
This is unthinkable.
But these are not the most important.
During the time when Bartoni broke out and went to Manhattan to seek help, another plague broke out in the fortress.
The reason is very simple, it is the epidemic caused by eating carrion and corpses.
Many people began to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, and within two days at most, these infected people would die.
A gloomy cloud enveloped the sky over the Quebec Fortress, and everyone was in a very gloomy mood.
Fortunately, those who got sick were those who couldn't bear the hunger and ate the carrion from the corpses.
As long as you don¡¯t eat the carrion of corpses, you won¡¯t get sick.
"This is not the way to go. It feels very wrong to pin all our hopes on Bartoni." The temporarily elected officials gathered together again and held a small meeting.
"If we don't place our hopes on Bartoni, what can we do? Knowing the current situation, we can only hope that God will bless him."
"What you said is very wrong. Even if God bless him, he is still on another continent, and the power of the gods here is stronger. So we still rely on ourselves. God can't be counted on now."
"You bastard, you dare say that. You will be burned on the rack!"
"So what if I just said it? Do you still want to find the Inquisition to deal with me?"
Originally they just met to discuss countermeasures, but before they could say a few words, someone started to quarrel.
"Okay, okay, don't argue anymore. We can't count on God or Bartoni. Now we'd better discuss it and try our best to break out if it doesn't work."
After persuading the two people who were quarreling, someone suggested.
Yes. Bartoni has given two paths before.
One of them is to concentrate all the forces of Quebec to break out.
But at that time, they considered that if they broke out, there would be many old, weak, sick and disabled people who could not be taken with them, and they would become a burden. So I gave up this proposal and chose the second path.
Now that the situation is urgent, they can no longer care about so much.
Now they can only lose their reputation and gather elite forces to break out. As for the old, weak, sick and disabled, this is also their fate.
"Do you want to give up on the old, weak, sick and disabled? Don't you worry about the future if you do this? You must know that after we have done such a thing, we will never be able to face other people in the future."
Some people are still opposed to taking this path.
However, this opponent was quickly refuted by others and was rendered speechless.
"We have no other choice now. If we stick to it, we will all die. Rather than all of us dying here, we might as well choose to let most of the people live.", someone said. "As long as some of us survive, then it's okay to seek revenge in the future. Besides, why not sacrifice some people? This is better than waiting to die together."
"I agree to break out and leave behind those who can't move, those who can't run fast, and those who are old and sick." Immediately some people began to agree with this.
The young man who objected just now couldn't get a word in at this time.
A few other people. You and I started planning a breakout with each other. No matter what the young man said, they couldn't listen.
Yes, they've had enough of being here.
They agreed that giving it a try to see if they could break out was better than waiting to die in the fortress.
Seeing that everyone ignored him, the young man had no choice but to sigh and fell silent.
He knows that these people no longer want to defend it.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
¡°The Iroquois are attacking!!¡±
Just as a few people were discussing in a chaotic manner, a scream with a different tone came from the watchtower not far away.
¡°Damn the indigenous people, don¡¯t they knowTake a break? Now their attack time is getting shorter and shorter. It seems that we really can't wait any longer and must make a decision as soon as possible. "
When everyone broke up and left, everyone finally made a decision.
But no matter what, now they have to repel the Iroquois attack first¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
"Sir, ahead is the Sadelay Forest at the southern tip of Quebec. We only need to pass through this forest to reach the St. Lawrence River."
Three days later, Lamar and Sharma finally arrived in Quebec with their army, led by Bartoni and his Indian companions.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: They were hurrying and hurrying, taking only a little time to rest.
It was only three days later that we arrived here.
Lamar and Sharma fell silent as they looked at the forest ahead.
After a while, Lamar said: "I'm worried that the Iroquois will ambush in the forest. After all, this is the southern end of the Quebec Fortress, and you ran out from this direction again. With you this time, I think the Iroquois will not take this lightly."
Bartoni nodded and replied: "Mr. Lamar, you are right. There must be Iroquois in this forest. But I just don't know whether it is an Iroquois patrol or a large force." ¡±
When Bartoni met the Iroquois in the forest, it was very foggy.
He couldn¡¯t see clearly how many people there were on the other side. At the same time, he was running for his life, so how could he pay attention to these things.
so. Only then would he tell Lamar that he couldn't judge.
Lamar turned sideways and gave instructions to the guards behind him.
"Send five teams to explore the road first. Each group of ten people will be on guard and move forward!"
But after all, we are already here, and it is impossible for Lamar and the others not to move forward.
You must know that Quebec is right ahead, so no matter what difficulties there are now, they have to bite the bullet and go forward.
¡°Besides, there are almost 30,000 of them.
Therefore, Lamar also has enough confidence. Even if he encounters the Iroquois in the forest, he can confront them head-on.
"Don't use muskets and shotguns, try to use cold weapons. The forest terrain restricts the use of muskets." As the five exploration teams entered the forest, the large group began to form a group of ten, and then entered the forest .
Before entering the forest, the Gene Man team leaders kept telling the soldiers some things to pay attention to.
Bartoni has been following the Manhattan Legion for three days.
During these three days of traveling, Bartoni faced the Song Empire¡¯s legion. I have a very intuitive understanding.
These people are well-equipped and have strong military qualities. At the same time, they have a deep-seated desire for fighting, and they are not afraid of war.
After three days of rapid march, these soldiers were still in good order and the queue was not disordered.
? This is simply unthinkable in Europe.
Comparing this with the soldiers of the Song Empire, Bartoni came to a conclusion. That is to say, European soldiers are simply scum.
Of course, those mercenaries who work for money are different. These guys are all desperadoes and there is no comparison.

A team of 30,000 people entered the forest. In fact, it was like a small drop of water falling into the sea, unable to turn over at all.
at this time. Reconnaissance parties ahead brought back word that they had encountered the Iroquois.
"Sir, the reconnaissance team encountered the Iroquois, and it seems that they were just a patrol of the other party." An Indian accompanying the army ran back with the two genetic men and reported to Lamar.
"Did you take action?"
Lamar asked quickly.
"When we started, the other party didn't give us a chance to speak, and knocked down five of us in the first time. Then we fought back, and the other party was completely wiped out."
Since he has taken action, Lamar will not fantasize about anything.
¡°Besides, he originally came here to fight with the Iroquois, so it was very unrealistic to try not to do anything.
"How many people are there on the other side? Will there be their camp nearby?"
Lamar asked a series of questions.
"There are seventeen people on the other side, and they are well hidden. If we hadn't had Indian soldiers accompanying us, it would have been impossible to discover the other side."The gene warrior replied.
"We don't know if there is an Iroquois camp nearby, but we have sent people to investigate."
"Order the troops to advance at full speed. If they encounter the Iroquois, they can attack freely. Please pass on this order." Lamar responded quickly.
After receiving Lamar¡¯s order, the marching speed increased a lot.
¡°Everyone no longer moved forward so cautiously, but simply started running.
In Lamar's view, they have already taken action anyway. According to the Indians' concept, they are now enemies.
Therefore, no matter how cautious you are, the opponent can still find your weakness and launch a surprise attack. So what he has to do now is to rush out of the forest before the enemy can react.
Of course, it would be best if we could find the Iroquois camp responsible for surrounding the southern tip of Quebec.
The troops moved forward quickly in the forest. Some of the genetic warriors on the periphery were attacked sporadically by the Iroquois hiding in the dark.
For the Indians, the forest is simply their home field, and the genetic people have no power to fight back.
Fortunately, these attacks were scattered and not large-scale, and the number of attackers was small, so the casualties suffered by Lamar and others were not very large.
"Sir, we have discovered the Iroquois camp, and the team on the left is exchanging fire with each other!" - Didn't finish reading?
