Chapter 609: Sending troops to New York

"Oh, that's not right...... Isn't Albert on Amerigo Island? How did the Indians hurt him? Could it be that the Indians attacked America in canoes? Marin asked, somewhat confused.

Albert's squire Welch hurriedly explained:

"So, Grand Duke. Didn't you ask Prince Albert to buy Lower Manhattan Island before? ”

"Yes, there is. Could it be that Albert was injured on Manhattan Island? ”

Welch nodded and said:

"Yes, when Prince Albert bought Manhattan Island, he built a trading market on the island to trade with the Indians. The local Delaware people were friendly to us, so Prince Albert went to inspect the trade market himself. Suddenly, however, a group of canoes and about a few hundred Native American robbers came up from the Hudson River, ransacked the trade market, and shot Prince Albert......

Marin frowned and said:

"You can't beat hundreds of natives? How? ”

Welch said with a look of grievance:

"We weren't prepared, Grand Duke! You know, our arquebuses, in non-combat situations, the arquebuses are not lit. The native robbers came in canoes, and we thought they were here to trade. Unexpectedly, they came to rob. By the time our fighters lit the arquebus and were ready, they had already grabbed the supplies, boarded the canoe and fled......"

Marin was also speechless, indeed, a good trading market, the Drava people are very friendly, and their soldiers are full of food and want to light the arquebus? Arquebuses are bad at all, they need to be lit before the battle. Now there is no lighter, so you can't light it right away, so you have to light it with flint first, and then light the arquebus...... It will take a long time to get this set up......

And this time the native Indian robbers were there to grab the goods, especially the salt and metal tools. They ran away after grabbing, and before the arquebus could be fired, they ran away. Moreover, the arrow that was shot at Albert's side before leaving actually hit Albert just happened to be a coincidence......

Fortunately, the Native American robbers did not have metal arrowheads, and the arrows that shot Albert were made of hardwood. Otherwise, Albert would have been lying in the cemetery by now......

Speaking of which, old Hoffman was full of fire:

"Damn, a barbarian, how dare you hurt my son! Marlin, I want you to send troops to destroy that Indian tribe! ”

Marin nodded, then continued to ask Welch:

"Have you found out which tribe did it?"

"Clearly, it's a tribe called the Wolves, not the Delaware, but the Mohican who live in the upper reaches of the Hudson River......"

"Mohican ......" Marin touched the mustache on his chin, and Becky's Mohican hairstyle suddenly appeared in his mind......

When I was in middle school in my last life, because the heartthrob Beckham had a haircut, and there were a lot of fans in this house. In order to get the attention of those fan girls like Xiaobei, many young people with two strokes followed suit with this hairstyle. Of course, ugly people can't be blamed on hairstyles. Little Bey has a handsome haircut for Mohican, and the imitator has a haircut, which is funny......

In fact, the Mohican hairstyle is not a Mohican hairstyle, but a popular hairstyle among the Mohawks, another Indian tribe. It's just that Xiaobei's culture is not high, thinking it is a Mohican hairstyle, and his fans also use it as a Mohican hairstyle. Then, the wrong will be wrong......

"Are they strong?" Marin asked.

"According to the Dravas, this tribe is also a very strong tribe among the Mohicans, with four or five hundred warriors. Although his combat effectiveness is not good, he is very familiar with jungle warfare, and he is good at hiding behind trees and putting cold arrows, which is more difficult. If they lived in the plains with few trees, the armies of the Twin Islands alone would be enough to pacify them. ”

"How's Albert's injury?" Marin had already guessed that Albert should be fine. Otherwise, Welch's face was not so calm. But Marin still wanted to make sure.

"It's no big deal, the main thing is that the alcohol and gold sore medicine you provided by you are very effective. Prince Albert was not infected, so recovered. ”

"Well, that's good. When you get back, you tell Albert to at least put on his breastplate and helmet when he goes to see the Indians, so that he doesn't have an accident! ”

This time, if Albert had been as cautious as Marin, he would have worn breastplate armor and a helmet when he went out, and even if he was hit by an arrow, he would have been blocked by the breastplate. After all, the indigenous bow and arrow were too powerful to shoot through the breastplate. Unfortunately, Albert, like Marin, was a delicate civil official and did not like to wear plate armor. Because, that's too heavy.

Although they are not physically strong enough, Marin is much more cautious. He died once, and he cherished life very much. Therefore, when going out in public, Marin generally wears chest armor to avoid accidents. Albert, on the other hand, had never experienced the dangers of the human world, and was unguarded. In addition, the Drava people are indeed friendly, so they do not wear chest armor (in fact, he is afraid of the weight of plate armor...... Unexpectedly, it happened to have an accident......

In addition, the twin islands of North America, although there are also army sizes of one or two hundred people. However, the combat effectiveness of these people is about the same as that of the militia. If you go head-to-head with the Native Americans on the plains, you might still be able to win. However, many of the wolf tribe will not fight you in a dignified manner at all, and they will play hide and seek with you, and at the same time use the terrain to engage in guerrilla warfare.

In this way, even if you have superior firepower and do not know how to fight in the jungle, it will be in vain.

Coincidentally, Marin happened to recruit a group of hunters from the Black Forest......

So Marin commanded:

"Well, I'll send dozens of Black Forest hunters and 1,000 warriors to take revenge on the Mohican tribe. With these hunters familiar with the forest leading the way, it must be enough to hunt down that wolf tribe......"

A seasoned hunter who is not only good at tracking, but also able to distinguish traps and avoid the enemy's hunting traps when the army falls into them. With them leading the way, the team will be much safer.

But old Hoffman shook his head and said:

"I also want to bring a few Alsatian wolf dogs over, the dog has a smart nose, and it is convenient to find someone!"

The elder Hoffman had watched Marin's men breed Alsatian wolfdogs and track them, and the dogs had sharp noses and strong ears and hearing. Old hunters are actually better at finding enemies and traps based on footprints and appearance. The main thing is to look for traps.

However, if the enemy is ambushed in the forest, the old hunter may not be able to detect it. After all, those natives who have been in the primeval jungle all year round are not ignorant of camouflage and hiding. Hunters looking for enemies and prey also need to be inferred based on clues, and they can't see and hear in all directions. Therefore, the old hunter is also prone to ambush.

But dogs are different, they can detect whether there are hidden enemies nearby through smells and sounds. If found, an alert can be raised.

However, the dog's brain is not so bright, and it may not be able to detect the traps laid by the enemy. After all, with the IQ of a dog, it is difficult to understand the trap.

Spotting traps, on the other hand, is a specialty of a seasoned forest hunter. So, it's a perfect combination for an old hunter who is good at spotting traps and tracking by clues, and a dog that is good at detecting enemy ambushes nearby.

There are old hunters here, and the traps don't work. And there are wolf dogs there, and it is difficult to ambush at the scene. Therefore, in later generations, police dogs were widely used by the police, and military dogs were also widely used by the military. Because, dogs are really strong in search and discovery. Except that IQ is not enough to understand ingenious traps, which is difficult to overcome, everything else is stronger than people......

With a group of old hunters and a few Alsatian wolfhounds trained in search to find the way in front, followed by hundreds of musketeers and hundreds of sword and shield soldiers covering the musketeers, it was too difficult for the wolf tribe with only a few hundred warriors not to fail......

With Marin's order, a group of veteran hunters and Alsatian wolfhounds, along with 1,000 seasoned warriors, were gathered and prepared to board the ship for New York. Once in New York, they will travel up the Hudson River to find the Wolves, who will then be wiped out......
