Text Chapter 255 It¡¯s not you who will leave your name in history

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Forty to fifty thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people are making a last desperate struggle.

    This is Sharma¡¯s view.

    The Iroquois on the opposite side didn¡¯t see it that way. In their opinion, these pursuers had committed a taboo.  Their constant division of troops has resulted in their original advantage no longer existing, and now is a great opportunity to defeat them.

    As long as these pursuers are defeated, the 40,000 to 50,000 of them can stay and recuperate.

    As long as it takes thirty years, it will not be difficult to grow again.

    When the time comes, they can go back and take revenge.

    The Iroquois idea was very simple and there was nothing wrong with it.

    It¡¯s not an option to be chased like this all the time. Now that the pursuers¡¯ original advantage no longer exists, it¡¯s a good opportunity to eliminate the opponent.

    Therefore, for the sake of yourself and your tribe, it is still the right choice to fight with the other party.

    After a rough estimate, the current number of pursuers is only three to four thousand.  On the other hand, there are still less than 10,000 elite warriors on our side, and more than 30,000 old and weak people.

    If the whole clan really works hard, the other party will be able to deal with us without even seeing it.

    It was precisely after estimating such a situation that the Iroquois stopped and began to form a formation to deal with the pursuers behind them.

    "Sir, the Iroquois are forming a formation. It seems that after our numbers are reduced, the other party's mind has become more active." After seeing the Iroquois listing the military formation, Sharma's adjutant said  Although not tall, the Gorkha man who was powerful walked up to him and said to him.

    "Then they really made a wrong calculation. Even though we are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, we are really likely to lose in a fight. Times have changed, and individual bravery doesn't mean much at this time.  Their usefulness is now dominated by muskets."

    Sharma was not worried about the Iroquois attack at all. On the contrary, he was very much looking forward to the Iroquois counterattack.

    In this way, he can take the opportunity to eliminate the opponent without having to pursue him anymore.

    "Order the soldiers to check their gunpowder and lead bullets. The pursuit for such a long time has consumed a lot of money. Because there is no logistics supply, we must understand this situation." Sharma ordered the adjutant.

    After the adjutant responded, he immediately turned around and conveyed the message.

    For a time, all the Gurkha soldiers began to check their gunpowder and lead bullets, and reported the quantities.

    Anyway, the Iroquois are still in formation now, so they still have plenty of time.

    Soon, the information about the remaining gunpowder and lead bullets was fed back to Sharma.

    "Not bad. Basically we have 60% of the gunpowder and ammunition left, which is enough for us to support three wars." After listening to the report, Sharma nodded with satisfaction and signaled to the adjutant.

    "Sir, the opponent's elite warriors are estimated to be no more than 10,000, but they have more than 30,000 old and weak." The adjutant began to report the information observed from the front for Sharma's reference.  "If we just deal with the elite Iroquois warriors of less than 10,000 people, it will be very easy. What I am worried about is that at this juncture, even the old and the weak will step onto the battlefield. In this way, our enemies will be  There will be more than 40,000 people.¡±

    Finally, the adjutant expressed his concerns.

    Sharma pondered for a moment after listening to the adjutant's words. He felt that his adjutant's judgment was not an impossible situation, so he must make an assessment and plan in advance now.

    This situation really occurs when the province is provinced, and it is not at a loss.

    The current number of my legion is around 3,300, which is much smaller than the main force of the Iroquois.

    If the opponent all presses forward and fights, it will be really difficult to deal with.

    At the same time, the Iroquois relied on their large numbers to attack their flanks and move back to the rear, which would make them very passive.

    Therefore, after Sharma thought about it carefully, he said to his adjutant: "Send the order. If the entire opponent's family comes up, they will quickly form a musket square to deal with it. Later French people used this tactic to deal with it."  Cavalry, I think we can use it to deal with the Iroquois, after all, we have been practicing for a long time and are very skilled at it, right?"

    The adjutant nodded: "Okay, sir, I will pass on the message right now."

    ¡°Then, the adjutant conveyed the order again, and then from the middle-level officers to the lower-level officers, who then conveyed it to the soldiers of their respective squads.

    &nbsp"Everyone, please pay attention. We have a lot of enemies. This time the battle may be very difficult. If everyone is pressed against them, remember to put on your bayonet and form a square formation to fight the enemy as you usually train!"

    For a time, the voices of the squad leaders echoed one after another in the five columns.

    Sharma, with his 300-man cavalry team, pressed at the rear of the queue and set his sights on the opposite Iroquois formation.

    I saw a few men who looked like Iroquois leaders walking to the front of the formation, raising their cross axes, and kept yelling something at the Iroquois warriors.

    The Iroquois warriors also raised their weapons and shouted.

    Then, a group of old and weak women walked out from behind the elite soldiers. They were numerous and densely packed.

    The weapons of these people include wooden sticks and wooden forks. Iron weapons are rarely seen.

    "It seems that the Iroquois are planning to make a desperate move. They don't have to wait for them to attack and form a phalanx!"

    After seeing what was happening on the Iroquois side, Sharma turned around and said something to the lieutenants beside him.

    Then, several adjutants turned their horses and ran towards the front of the formation, which was already in formation.

    The drummers and bagpipers accompanying the army played their own instruments.

    Then the two wings of the five columns began to retract, and soon a square formation was formed.

    After the phalanx was formed, the Gurkha soldiers loaded their bayonets onto their muskets and surrounded Sharma and his cavalry team in the middle.

    "go ahead!"

    With Sharma¡¯s order, the phalanx of the Gurkha Regiment began to advance slowly.

    They stepped on the beat of the drummer and marched in neat steps amidst the music of the bagpipes, and pressed towards the Iroquois.

    "These cruel enemies massacred our tribe, brothers and relatives. We have seen how powerful they are. Now that we have been chased by these people for so many days, we have no way to escape. Even if we can escape,  , we will always be chased by them, have you ever thought about such a day?"

    "I don't want to! I don't want to!"

    "Since we don't want to live like this, let's defeat them. Originally, there were many people chasing us, but in order to pursue other tribesmen, they divided a lot of people. Now there are not many people left.  Now, we have more people than them, so as long as we work hard, we can definitely defeat them."

    On the Iroquois side, mobilization in front of the station was also underway.

    When they saw the Gurkha regiment slowly pressing forward, the leaders stopped talking.

    The elders of the Iroquois people walked to the front very consciously, and then began to run forward slowly.

    For the sake of the tribesmen behind them, they voluntarily came to the front to block the enemy's muskets.  Let the elite warriors behind you get closer to the enemy and gain opportunities.

    Now that they have the advantage of comrades in numbers, as long as the soldiers get close to the enemy, they can defeat them with their numerical advantage.

    After all, in close combat, muskets don¡¯t have much advantage.

    Even some elderly women came to the front and started running.

    This scene seems a bit tragic.

    Sharma put down the monocular telescope in his hand, without much expression on his face.

    This is not because he is cold-blooded, but because he is deeply aware of the cruelty of war.

    If he pity the Iroquois, but if he is defeated, the Iroquois will not pity him.

    ¡°Besides, war is inherently cruel, an act of defeating the enemy and wiping out the opponent¡¯s vitality.  At a time like this, any compassion is highly inappropriate.

    "Fire after two hundred yards! The phalanx fires forward!"

    Fire at a distance of 200 yards, shoot forward!

    Fire at a distance of 200 yards, design forward!

    ¡°It will definitely not be you who will leave your name in history.¡±

    Sharma sat on the horse coldly and whispered expressionlessly.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    As time goes by, the battle begins.

    The queue directly in front of the phalanx began to fire, and the oncoming Iroquois old men fell down in response.

    The phalanx of the Gurkha Regiment did not stop and continued to move forward slowly.

    They have trained a lot, and it is precisely because of more training than ordinary people that they have maintained a stable queue.

    Soon, IroquoisThe people surrounded the phalanx.

    "Stop! Stay in place to defend yourself from attacks!"

    Enjoying the impact from all directions, the phalanx finally stopped.

    Around the phalanx were the Iroquois who were constantly attacking.

    By this time, the Iroquois had surrounded the phalanx, and the Gurkhas had no way to retreat.

    Now for the Gurkha Regiment, they have only one way to get out alive, and that is to eliminate the Iroquois.

    At this time, the advantages of the phalanx were fully revealed.

    Although they were attacked from all directions, due to the special nature of the phalanx, the Gurkhas could also attack from all directions to block the attack of the Iroquois.

    Although occasionally some fish that slipped through the net would rush forward, the muskets with bayonets would be used as long hair to pierce the bodies of those guys.

    Today, in front of the Phalanx, the bayonets are like a forest, making the Phalanx look like a rolled-up hedgehog, leaving the Iroquois with nowhere to eat.

    "Hold on, don't panic, the Iroquois can't do anything to us. As long as we stabilize the front, the enemy can't do anything to us!"

    The officers kept shouting loudly to encourage the Gurkha soldiers.

    In fact, there is no need for them to encourage them at all. These genetic people cultivated through templates will still complete the orders.

    They all had expressionless faces and performed repetitive movements mechanically.

    ??Clean the barrel, load the gunpowder lead bullets, then go to the front row to snap and shoot, and retreat (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
