Text Chapter 254 Bounty Hunters in Action (Third update!)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The situation in French Quebec has become clear due to the entry of the Song Emperor's army and their defeat of the Iroquois.

    The siege of the fortress has been lifted. Although there are still sporadic battles, they all happened dozens of miles away.

    Therefore, the fortress is relatively safe.

    At the same time, Somali gangsters stationed in the fortress and took charge of the security issues in the area, which suddenly made the French feel relaxed.

    It¡¯s just that the French can¡¯t leave the fort now. After all, there are many Iroquois scattered around, and they are still scattered around and have not been eliminated.

    Therefore, it is still somewhat dangerous to go out too far.

    But generally speaking, within the two or three miles of the fortress, it is absolutely safe.

    Supplies from Lake Ontario City were transported to the southern end of the fortress by small boats along the course of the St. Lawrence River.

    The arrival of these supplies has greatly alleviated the French people¡¯s food crisis.

    Song Hu had already considered this problem, so he ordered the shipyard in Lake Ontario City to first build small ships to transport goods.

    Small ships are not big and can be built very quickly. For the time being, they are the best choice for transporting supplies.

    With the food, the people of the Quebec Fortress immediately stabilized.

    The first thing Lamar did after entering the fortress with his 8,000-strong Somali Legion was to announce to all the French the ownership of this place.

    Originally, this place belonged to France and was a French territory.

    But now, because the original lord Sarah married the crown prince of the empire, Quebec, as the dowry of Countess Sarah, has naturally become the possession of the Song Empire.

    Of course, the territory still belongs to Countess Sarah in name, and it has also become the royal territory of the Song Empire.  At the same time, Quebec was also incorporated into the territory of the Song Empire.

    The French did not react much to this issue.

    In their view, it doesn¡¯t matter whose territory belongs to them, what matters is whether they can live a better life.

    On this point, Lamar certainly made a commitment and cited some examples from Manhattan.

    In short, you can go to Manhattan to make a living, but you have to wait until the remnants of the Iroquois people in the surrounding areas are eliminated.

    Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be very safe on the road, right?

    Everyone understands this very well.

    But you can¡¯t just stay idle all the time. You must know that many French people make money by hunting and trading furs with Indians.

    Now the war is not completely over. The Iroquois are scattered around and they cannot go out to hunt. At the same time, because of the defeat of the Iroquois and the occupation of Lake Ontario.

    Those who did business with the Indians lost their source of income.

    In response to this problem, Lamar gave a solution.

    After the Iroquois were defeated, they fled into the surrounding forests or ran farther away.

    These people have to be dealt with. It is impossible to let them hide around like this.

    Therefore, Lamar offered a way to make money, which was to use the heads of the Iroquois people to come to him in exchange for bounties.

    In addition to making money, it can also effectively eliminate enemies.

    This is a very good method.

    Although the main force of the Iroquois was pursued by Sharma and his Gurkha regiment.

    But the scattered Iroquois scattered around are still a big problem.

    In the past few days, they launched sporadic attacks on the teams that went out to investigate.

    Although the casualties caused were not very large, it would not be a big deal if they were harassed like this.

    ??And these Iroquois are all scattered small teams, a dozen or a few people.

    "Lamar can't send a large force to encircle and suppress, that would be unrealistic.

    But if the French were to encircle and suppress these Iroquois, they would have little fighting spirit.

    So, Lamar came up with such a way.

    ??????? Lamar knows so much about Europeans.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the early morning.

    Sure enough, after Lamar offered heads in exchange for bonuses, the depressed French showed great enthusiasm and spontaneously formed small teams within a short period of time, leaving the fortress and entering the surrounding forests.  Looking for the Iroquois.

    You know, AnnThe only supplies delivered by Great Lakes are rice and mustard. Although other supplies are also available, they are all commodities.

    Rice and mustard must not always be provided for free. In the end, they can only be purchased with money.

    And if you don¡¯t have money, you have to go hungry again.

    The French people who have already experienced hunger once really don¡¯t want to taste that taste again.

    Therefore, when they heard that they could make money, they couldn't help but burst out with enthusiasm and motivation.

    ¡° Only when you have money can you buy food and other commodities to make your life more comfortable.

    In addition to the French, the Indians who were vassal to the French also joined in one after another.

    Since Quebec is now part of the Song Empire, the Indian tribes that surrendered to the French have turned into Indian tribes vassal to the Song Empire.

    In the past few days, after contacting all parties, the tribes scattered around slowly returned to Quebec and met their new 'masters'.

    In this war, the Indian tribes who were vassalized by the French suffered serious losses and were seriously injured.

    But it is precisely because of this that their hatred of the Iroquois is deeper, and it is easier for Lamar to take advantage of them.

    Coupled with the favorable conditions offered by Lamar, the warriors of these Indian tribes were even more excited than the French.

    After a few days, these Indian warriors gained a lot.

    And Lamar also fulfilled his promise and gave them as many silver coins as each head he sent.

    After getting the silver coins, these Indians went to the small temporary shops to buy grain, mustard, and other commodities.

    With these people doing live advertising, some guys who were watching the excitement couldn't help it.

    ?????????????????????? Why do you need to take action personally? You can solve the problem by just using your brain a little.

    ¡°According to what Mr. Wang Shan said, ¡®A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.  ¡¯, this is so right.

    ¡°Don¡¯t look at the silver coins you paid those people, but these silver coins eventually returned to his hands.

    "And what those people got were just some consumables. They would need these goods in the future, so he didn't have to worry about selling them at all.

    Everyone needs to eat food, and pickled mustard contains salt that can supplement some of the body¡¯s needs.

    You know, the salt in this era is not that delicious.

    And matches and some gadgets are also necessary.

    Therefore, there is no need to worry about no market for these products.

    Every day, small teams of varying numbers leave the Quebec Fortress, and many small teams return from the surrounding areas every day, bringing back a large number of heads.

    But often when these teams come back, you will find that their teams will be reduced by a few people.

    It can be seen that these people are already dead.

    However, these teams are not afraid of not being able to recruit people. As long as they let the team know that they are short of people, someone will soon join them.

    For a time, Quebec¡¯s bounty hunter team developed vigorously.

    This development did not matter, but it became a nightmare for the Iroquois scattered around.

    They not only had to be wary of the French, but also of the Indians who were as proficient in tracking and ambush as they were.

    This is really a big cup¡ª¡ª

    Dividing line¡ª¡ª

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Gu Gu!

    Every morning on the American continent, when the sun just emerges from the horizon, most areas of the Americas will be filled with thick fog.

    In the thick fog, it is impossible for you to know whether there is danger on the other side or what will rush out at the next moment.

    Maybe it¡¯s a hare, a coyote or a brown bear, or of course it could be your own enemy.

    There are thick tree trunks vaguely exposed in the thick fog, but it is not very clear because of the heavy fog.

    Bursts of birdsong and the crowing of pheasants echoed in the forest.

    The sound of rustling leaves and the sound of small streams in the forest.

    An Iroquois team of nine people hunched over and moved slowly and cautiously through the fog.

    They walked very slowly, and from time to time they listened to what was going on around them, or looked up to see what was going on around them.

    Although the fog was very thick and they could not see anything through the thick fog, they still did this.

    These Iroquois held in their handsA sharp dagger, extremely cautious.

    Click!

    There was a crisp sound of a branch breaking, causing everyone to stop and nervously make movements before attacking.

    Whoosh!

    A thin arrow shot out of the fog and hit an Iroquois man in the face, directly into his right eye.

    Then, more arrows were shot from the left, right, and above.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Being attacked by the sudden attack, the Iroquois roared loudly and rushed forward.

    Then, some white people and Indians dressed completely different from the Iroquois emerged from the thick fog.  The men and horses from both sides quickly charged together, and a melee began the next moment.

    The Iroquois suffered a sudden attack and several of them fell.  Therefore, they do not have much advantage in terms of numbers. At the same time, the opponent's momentum is stronger, so there is no suspense in this battle.

    Above them, four Indians also jumped down.

    This small team of Iroquois seemed to have walked into an ambush.

    The battle ended quickly, in less than five minutes.

    The attackers annihilated the nine-man Iroquois band at the cost of two lives.

    Then they gave the Iroquois a final fatal blow with their scimitars or daggers, and then began to cut off their heads.

    Although we lost two people, the harvest was still good after all.

    With nine heads, you can exchange them for almost thirty silver livres.

    This is also a considerable fortune.

    If you use it to buy rice, you can buy three hundred kilograms of rice.

    These people did not speak. They handed all the severed heads to one of the white people. Behind the white man was dragging a big sack. He was a person who specialized in dragging sacks and did not need to participate in the battle.

    These people were very silent, silently cutting their heads, and then listened alertly to the sounds around them, and then continued to move forward.

    It can be seen that they are not satisfied with wiping out such a small team of Iroquois.

    They will continue to look for the Iroquois, kill them, cut off their heads, and wait until they return in exchange for money.

    Lamar¡¯s idea is really useful. After the bounty hunter profession in Quebec emerged, it was devastating to the Iroquois scattered in the surrounding areas.

    Every day, a team of bounty hunters returns to the fortress, collects the bounty with sacks of heads, and then sets off again after taking a short rest and settling down with their families.

    In the eyes of these bounty hunters, this is a very profitable and good profession, and there are also a lot of Iroquois in the surrounding areas. They wish they could never kill all the Iroquois.

    So they can make more money.

    It has to be said that under the temptation of money, the French people's combat effectiveness is still very high.

    It can be seen that as long as the money is in place, a lazy Frenchman can still become a qualified warrior and be very proactive in fighting.

    Lamar even feels that the profession of bounty hunter can be retained.  If we participate in the struggle for European hegemony or other wars in the future, these guys who exchange heads for money will definitely cause great losses to the enemy.

    But the question is, how can these people survive after the surrounding Iroquois are wiped out.

    Without the Iroquois, bounty hunters would have no target.

    If there is no goal, they will not be able to make money. If they can't make money, they will have no motivation, right?

    It seems that we need to think about it carefully. These guys must continue to find a target after they deal with the Iroquois.

    They must maintain their fighting spirit and greed for money.

    ???????????? Oops, what kind of solution should I think of.

    Lamar has been very troubled by this recently.

    Just when Lamar took over the Quebec Fortress and began to worry about some problems, Sharma pursued the main force of the Iroquois to the northeast of what would later become Canada.

    Along the way, Sharma caused a large number of casualties to the main force of the Iroquois, and had to flee north.

    In order to get rid of the Sharma's pursuit, the Iroquois had to divide the team from time to time, and then hope to get rid of the Sharma and the others.

    It¡¯s a pity that after they separated some people and fled in other directions, Sharma would also separate some of his troops accordingly.Continue to pursue it.

    In this way, the main force of the Iroquois gradually broke away through continuous divisions, and finally there were only more than 40,000 people left. However, of these 40,000 people, less than 10,000 were elite warriors, and the rest were old and weak.  The sick and the women.

    In other words, there are less than 10,000 people capable of fighting here.

    Sharma also continued to separate his troops to pursue those groups that broke away from the main Iroquois force. Now there are only three thousand legions left.

    Finally, the Iroquois stopped running. They were tired of running away.

    They stopped, determined to fight the enemy here.

    ¡°Besides, the number of enemies chasing you has become smaller now, right?

    snort!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? may think that we have become bolder now that there are few of us, and it is too contemptuous of us.

    Sharma looked at the Iroquois military formation on the battlefield and curled his lips in disapproval.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
