- When the Iroquois learned that a camp to the south had been attacked, they responded immediately.
A team of about 4,000 people came towards us in a mighty manner.
Originally, they were planning to attack that camp because the enemy came out of the fortress unprepared. But when they got here, they discovered that things were not as they imagined.
These enemies look completely different from those white-skinned enemies in terms of their clothing, appearance, and queue.
?? Some of these enemies are completely black, as if they are evil ghosts from hell who have come to the human world. Each of them is strong and looks very powerful.
Just standing there can make people feel a strong pressure.
In addition to these dark enemies, there are also some enemies with black hair and black eyes.
"Compared to those guys who are all in pitch black, these enemies with yellow skin and black eyes don't look so oppressive in their stature.
However, these smaller enemies gave people dry wine like a jaguar staring only at its prey, which made the Iroquois feel very bad.
As the Iroquois, whose lives are still very primitive, they have a very sensitive sixth sense, which is honed by constantly dealing with wild animals.
Now, they could feel the aura they should have felt on the beasts on some enemies they had never seen before.
But it doesn¡¯t matter, even if the opponent looks powerful, it can¡¯t stop the anger of the Iroquois. Any enemy who provokes them will pay the price with blood.
The heroic Iroquois are the masters of this world. After the warriors die in battle, their souls will return to the embrace of Mother Earth.
The Iroquois warriors shouted loudly or sang incomprehensible songs, and then raised their weapons and came in a chaotic manner to kill.
There is no fear on their faces, they only show enthusiasm and fearlessness.
It¡¯s not surprising. After all, they had been fighting the French for several months, and the violent factor in their bones had long been released, turning them into bloodthirsty beings.
This is normal, such a crazy and fearless attack can really defeat the enemy.
This method is often used by the Iroquois, and every time it is used, it will get very good results.
But what the Iroquois didn¡¯t know was that the enemy they had to face this time was completely different from the enemies they usually encountered.
And the tactics they are using now will not have any effect on this opponent.
"Raise the gun! First row of shotguns, fire!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Boom! Boom!
Following the orders of the squad leaders, the Gurkha soldiers in the first row pulled the trigger.
The soldiers in the first row all use shotguns.
Although there are only four to five hundred people in the first row, the number does not seem to be very large.
But the weapons they used were a bit abnormal in this era.
What¡¯s more, the opponents they faced were still very backward Indians.
When the first row of soldiers in front of the Gurkha formation finished shooting, they quickly retreated to the rear, then skillfully cleaned the barrels and loaded gunpowder and lead bullets.
The soldiers from the second row came up. They were not using shotguns, but flintlock rifles.
After all, there are not many shotguns in the legion, so it is impossible for everyone to have one.
The standard equipment of Zhao Hongyu¡¯s soldiers is still mainly flintlock rifles.
"put!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The number of people in the second line was a bit too large, about 1,300 people.
Facing the charge of the Iroquois, they did not panic at all and did their own thing in an orderly manner.
After shooting, they retreated again, and then it was the third row's turn.
Poor Iroquois, they had a whole row of them put down in a shotgun blast.
¡°These people¡¯s faces and bodies were covered with dense bloody holes shot by shotguns.
The people who were shot fell to the ground and did not die immediately. The pain tortured their nerves, causing these self-proclaimed brave warriors to let out painful wails and twitch and roll on the ground.
Compared to shotguns, flintlock rifles are better.
After the lead bullet of this kind of rifle hits a person, it will only make a bloody hole in the body. As long as it does not directly hit the vital part, thenThen people won't lose their lives right away.
Even those who were shot can continue to fight, and it doesn¡¯t seem to have much impact.
"It's a pity that this situation is only for ordinary Europeans, and these genetic people are different.
First, they used a file to make a small cross out of the lead bullet, so the lead bullet would split when it hit the human body, exploding a terrifying small blood hole in the body.
This is somewhat similar to the modern dum bomb.
Originally, Zhao Hongyu did not want his men to use this kind of lead bullet.
But Wang Shan and the others highly praised it.
The reason is very simple. There is no nationality convention these days, so we shouldn¡¯t make lead bullets like this.
Since it doesn¡¯t exist, why can¡¯t it be used?
In the end, Zhao Hongyu was convinced by Wang Shan and the others.
Therefore, this kind of lead bullet became popular among genetic soldiers.
"Besides, even if Zhao Hongyu disagrees, there is nothing he can do. When the time comes, his subordinates will be able to secretly mess with him in the legion and they will not be able to control it.
You must know that although these genetic people have loyalty, they are not that kind of robots.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu often has to consider accepting their opinions. Lest they have opinions about themselves and affect their loyalty.
From India Asan, Zhao Hongyu can almost tell that everything he does has an impact on loyalty.
Because as he slowly became stronger and had more and more resources and soldiers, his pressure on Ah San had reached 65 points.
You must know that at the very beginning, my pressure on them was only 50 points.
Of course, in addition to these, there are still some things that make Zhao Hongyu more depressed, that is, the Indian Asan has only increased his pressure, but his loyalty has not increased at all.
This is what Zhao Hongyu criticized the most.
The topic is a bit far off, so let¡¯s get back to the topic.
Turning our attention back to the battlefield, the Iroquois lost nearly 30% of their combatants in less than a five-round salvo attack by the Gurkhas.
This greatly extinguished the morale of the Iroquois.
Not far away, on the wall of the Quebec Fortress, there were also many people standing densely. They all stretched their necks one by one and stared at the battle below in stunned silence.
¡°These French people all have the same idea in their hearts at this moment.
"Here you go, what kind of tactic is this? Why is it so awesome? When the Iroquois charged, they had already consumed 30% of their personnel before they even got in front of them. If they really did get in front of them, How many lives will it take to fill it"
The battle below completely suppressed the French on the fortress walls.
It was also the first time for these French people to know that the legions of the Song Empire were so awesome, and that their army was so powerful.
It¡¯s really shocking and unbelievable.
The army of the Song Empire was arranged in five standard horizontal lines and fired repeatedly.
With every shot, a large piece of the attacking Iroquois fell to pieces. Blue gunpowder smoke rose and filled the air, making this scene even more bizarre. The French didn't know how to describe the scene they saw.
But many people know that they will never forget what they saw today in their lifetime.
"Shoot!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The grassroots officers of the Gurkha Army are constantly giving orders.
The entire team now wants to be an efficient harvester, constantly harvesting the lives of the Iroquois people on the opposite side.
No matter how brave the Iroquois were and tried desperately to rush over, the short distance of fifty meters was like a chasm that they could never cross.
There were several times when they were clearly very close and could rush into the opponent's queue. Then they could wave the sharp blade in their hands to cut off the enemy's throat and let their bright red blood spray out.
But in the end they would be blasted back by teams armed with shotguns, every time.
¡°The feeling of despair and powerlessness that the French once had is now really felt by the Iroquois.
That feeling is really uncomfortable.
In less than ten minutes, the Iroquois's battle losses had reached normal levels. In other words, two thousand soldiers fell on the battlefield, and the losses were not insignificant.
"Wave styleAttack forward! "
The Iroquois offensive finally stopped, and they were ready to adjust and find the enemy's weakness.
It¡¯s a pity that their opponents didn¡¯t give them a chance at all.
When they stopped attacking, Sharma, the leader of the Gurkha Regiment, issued an order for the entire army to advance.
Then, the legions, arranged in five columns, began to advance like a tidal wave of shooting, while the Iroquois were swallowed up in an instant as if they had encountered a raging ocean storm.
Keep a steady speed, don¡¯t rush, don¡¯t let yourself get confused when going, yes, that¡¯s it. "
Sharma sat on his horse, observing the situation on the battlefield. His orders were quickly conveyed through the messengers, while his eyes were fixed on the reaction of the Iroquois on the opposite side.
Now, he has complete control over the situation on the battlefield.
The rhythm of the battle is also performed by the Gurkha Regiment.
The Iroquois were very aggrieved because they could no longer control the situation in the battle. And they can only passively follow the opponent's rhythm to continue the next battle.
This was a very bad thing for the Iroquois.
However, the Iroquois had no good way to break this deadlock.
In fact, strictly speaking, the Iroquois were not helpless.
It¡¯s very simple, as long as they retreat.
Because Sharma would not order to pursue them.
Therefore, only the military commander of the Iroquois ordered the entire army to retreat.
Then they can completely escape from this battlefield and the battle that makes them very helpless and suffers huge losses.
"It's a pity that the word "escape" does not exist in the Iroquois dictionary.
Because doing this will make them unable to hold their heads up forever.
As an Indian, even if you are standing in front of death, you must proudly raise your face to face it.
It is this kind of concept that led to the destruction of this 4,000-man legion.
Under the wave of attacks by the Gurkha Regiment, the Iroquois were beaten so hard that they had no power to fight back.
Rather than saying this is a battle, it is better to say it is a one-sided massacre.
Behind the Gurkhas, there were more than 500 Indian warriors sent by Song Hu from Lake Ontario City to raid the formation. As the Gurkha regiment advanced, they only followed behind, specifically responsible for 'cleaning up' those who had been attacked in the previous attack. , the Iroquois warrior who fell to the ground was seriously wounded by a shotgun or flintlock rifle.
In this era, there are no organizations such as the Red Cross, nor is there any humanitarian spirit of saving lives and helping the wounded.
For these Indians accompanying the army, what they called "cleaning" was to take out a sharp dagger, bend down and then cut the throats of the seriously injured Iroquois warriors, and then the Iroquois warriors were freed. .
Of course, they would also cut off the scalps of the Iroquois, which was considered a military merit.
After the battle is over, they can use the Iroquois scalps to go to Lamar or Sharma in exchange for items.
If you don¡¯t want to change it here, you can keep it and go back to Ontario Lake City and Song Hu can change it for them.
Therefore, these Indians accompanying the army were very careful when they 'cleared' the Iroquois.
Sharma has no intention or will of anything to do with what the Indians behind him are doing.
Because he knows that sometimes even though he can't stand it, he doesn't necessarily have to stop it. After all, the rule that scalping is considered military work has always been popular among Indians.
And this also allows the Indian soldiers accompanying the army to maintain a strong fighting passion.
Therefore, he will not stop this matter in the same way. It wouldn't be good if it didn't work out, not only to discourage people's enthusiasm, but also to cause some unnecessary trouble.
The Iroquois on the opposite side also have long-range weapons, but their long-range weapons are not very powerful and there is no way to fight against the Gurkha Legion.
Those bows, arrows and blowguns cannot effectively kill them at a distance of more than fifty meters.
At this time, many Indians returned from the flanks, and they brought with them the surrounding situation.
"Sir, the enemy is constantly adding troops here, do we still want to continue fighting?"
Sharma¡¯s adjutant came back from the Indian warriors who had just scouted the nearby situation, and then told Sharma about the situation.asked after the situation.
"Why not? We want the Iroquois to never forget it, and we also want to let the French guys behind them know how powerful our Imperial Army is. To kill two birds with one stone, we must do it."
Sharma answered the adjutant¡¯s question.
"Keep a steady speed, most enemies are approaching, everyone pay attention!"
The messengers were constantly shuttling back and forth behind the team, conveying Sharma's orders.
"Find someone to tell the French to guard the fortress. They are the ones I'm most worried about. Don't let us beat them to death here, because they will lose the fortress there."
Sharma ordered to his adjutant. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
