Chapter 210: The corpse in front of the Lake Ontario camp
The outskirts of Camp Lake Ontario were in shambles, and Emma, who was stationed here, was dignified.
Outside the camp, there were many corpses lying down.
Inside the camp, the genetics set up their arquebuses in the crevices and observed the situation outside.
Over the past few days, they have repelled several enemy attacks.
These enemies were from Quebec, and they were troops sent into the Iroquois region.
I don't know how to do it, but these people actually found Emma's camp in Lake Ontario and launched an attack.
They don't even know that Quebec has already signed some agreements with these people. They just saw that there were some items in this place that made them very angry, and then they attacked with greedy desire.
In the eyes of these people, it may be just a small tribe united by the Iroquois, and they don't think much about it at all.
Along the way, they didn't know how many such small tribes and villages had been destroyed by the Dao.
Originally, everything was in the hands of these people, and they thought that it would not be long before they could conquer this tribe and then seize those items within this tribe.
Unfortunately, when they launched an attack, they found that the sharpness of the opponent's weapons was completely beyond their imagination. They were also amazed by the tenacity of their will to fight.
After several attacks, these people did not make any progress at all, except for the loss of two or three hundred lives on the periphery.
This made them very discouraged.
Damn, when did the Iroquois have such a difficult tribe to deal with?
The commander of this team, the Frenchman Simond, was really at a loss for the situation.
"We've been here for three days, but we haven't even breached the other side's camp. This is very bad for us, and I fear that our tracks have been exposed and that we will attract the Iroquois army. ”
In the makeshift tent, Simmond reminded his officers.
Now their attack on this small tribe is not going well, so Simmond has already begun to want to retreat.
After all, the main purpose of their troops entering the Iroquois-controlled area was to cause trouble. And destroy those little villages.
And they were only a thousand people, and if they encountered a large army of Iroquois, they would not have enough people to stuff people's teeth.
Therefore, for them, it is the most correct way to quickly transfer the team after the game.
However, when they met the tribe of Lake Ontario, they actually abandoned this method of warfare.
The reason is simple, because they found this tribe. There are many products such as porcelain and tea.
Once greedy thoughts arise in the heart, they cannot be suppressed so easily.
Dominated by the dream of fortune, they began to attack the small tribe.
It's a pity that yes, the reality is very cruel, and their attacks did not work at all but suffered heavy losses.
In the face of the huge loss of personnel, the commander of the tribe, Simmond, began to come to his senses, and he immediately gathered his men to tell them his plans.
"Colonel, we've been attacking for three days, so should we waste all this kind of work?"
"Yes, Colonel, we've been attacking for three days. Although we have lost a lot of soldiers, we still have an advantage in numbers. And the enemy must be exhausted. ”
"Colonel, we must not give up, try again. Maybe a few more attacks and we'll be able to conquer this camp. ”
As soon as Simon's words came out, his subordinates all opened their mouths to persuade him.
Yes, they haven't come to their senses yet. Nowadays, these people's minds are still filled with the beautiful porcelain and tea leaves. and the illusion of a golden coin.
They fought along the way, destroying a lot of small Iroquois villages, but they didn't get much of the valuable stuff at all.
Those furs that are more valuable. They simply don't have a way to take it with them.
After all, they still have to fight continuously.
So, for all this time, they have not received any substantial benefits at all.
And what are they fighting for, aren't they fighting for money?
The soldiers of European countries in this era did not have the concept of defending their homes and defending their country.
Strictly speaking, their current concept is similar to the observation of soldiers during the period of the Republic of China. It is natural for them to be soldiers and eat food, and they fight to get rich.
If you don't get rich for them, it's absolutely not going to work.
"We've been here for three days and it's already dangerous for us. As things stand, I'm afraid we won't be able to capture this camp in three days. ”
Symond spoke his mind to his men very seriously.
"And don't forget, at any time around us, an army of Iroquois will appear. They are much more numerous than we are, and if we don't pay attention, we may end up in a situation where we are in a situation where we are under attack. ”
Simon's expression became more serious the more he spoke, and the expressions of those junior officers slowly became solemn.
Simond was right, they had been carried away by greed, and now after Simmond's reminder, they finally remembered the situation they were facing now.
"The Colonel is right, I see you're all dazed. We must get out of this place now, or we will be surrounded by a lot of things, and my life is more important. As long as I'm alive, I'm afraid I won't be able to get rich. But if I die, there's really nothing left. ”
Then someone chimed in with Simond.
For a while, everyone divided into two factions and began to chatter and quarrel.
Simond's eyelids twitched, and he yelled, "Don't make any noise, I order this place to be evacuated immediately." Then he looked around with a fierce look, and his angry eyes kept looking at the faces of those who were still occupied by greedy thoughts, and their expressions were very unnatural.
"You don't look closely at the terrain here, there are two peaks blocking it, and there is only one valley passage to the outside world. If the Iroquois tribal governor blocks the way to the outside, we'll be trapped here. I don't believe that at that time, we will still have any hope of survival. ”
Symond's teeth creaked, and he really scolded these guys who were carried away by greed.
"Yes, the Colonel is right, we really can't continue to attack like this. The terrain here is a bit troublesome, and if we continue to attack, we will probably end up trapped here, as the colonel said. ”
Someone nodded, agreeing with what Symond had said.
Most of the people have been moved by Simmond's words.
"Let's go, we have a chance to get rich. This time it's a failure, but we're going to bring down the tribe next time. After all, we don't have a lot of time right now, so it's unrealistic for us to take this camp in a short period of time. ”
The meeting was over, and the French and the Indians under his command began to pack up and retreat.
The genetic man who observed the situation on the watchtower in the camp immediately reported the situation here to Emma.
Emma, who learned the news, hurriedly came to the watchtower to take a look.
Sure enough, the enemies on the opposite side were hurriedly packing up and began to slowly retreat towards the valley mouth.
"Do we need to pursue?"
The Gene Man Squad Leader asked Emma.
Emma shook her head after thinking about it.
"No, since the enemy wants to retreat, let them retreat. There is no need for us to risk chasing them, after all, we cannot be sure that this is a trap that the enemy deliberately lured us into. ”
Because Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan were not here, Emma became the highest commander.
On her shoulders is the life of hundreds of people, and if her order is issued, it will have a very big impact, so she can't help but be careless.
"Okay, I'll pass it on and let the soldiers continue to stay in their positions."
The leader of the genetic team who was following Emma nodded.
Emma's caution allowed Simmond and his gang to exit the area safely.
However, a day later, they met the warriors of the Cayuga tribe. After a battle between the two armies, Simmond's side lost a lot of men, and they had to retreat to Queibek.
Anyway, what they had to do was almost done, and the Cayuga tribe united by the Iroquois found out about them, so they would definitely report their matter.
And the Iroquois knew that when the Quebecers did it, they would definitely retaliate.
The war would have begun.
Three days later, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan returned to their camp in Lake Ontario.
In their ranks, there was also a strange woman.
This woman is none other than the widow Sara, the legal lord of Queibec, the heir to the Samus family.
Although the enemy retreated for three days, Emma strictly ordered the warriors not to leave the camp at will, in order to guard against the dangerous tactics of the whiteskins.
Therefore, the corpses outside the camp were not picked up, and they fell outside the camp in the ice and snow.
"Your Highness, it seems that our camp has experienced war here."
After walking out of the passage and seeing the camp, Wang Shan first noticed that something was wrong.
Because it was winter, those corpses fell in the ice and snow, but there was no need to worry about decomposing and deteriorating.
Zhao Hongyu's brows furrowed tightly.
Frame!
His heart jumped, and a very bad feeling came to his heart.
Emma must not do anything, what kind of enemy is this?
Zhao Hongyu didn't make a sound, but shook the reins of his hand and galloped towards the ground.
Wang Shan urged the war horse to follow closely.
Far away, the sentinels in the field discovered Zhao Hongyu and them.
Bang Bang Bang!
"Your Highness is back! Your Highness is back! ”
