Chapter 805 "Cooperation" to make a fortune

As soon as Dai Zhiyuan, a black-hearted guy, opened his mouth, it was three vicious strategies, and they were very practical. It's early autumn now, and it's definitely too late to plant the land this season, but don't delay the reclamation of the wasteland and wait for the spring of next year to plant wheat. The food problem is the most important, how can you continue to colonize this game without food. So, the first task is to grab food and capture prisoners, and the secondary task is to capture prisoners for camp construction and waste land reclamation. In the end, it was through exchange to expand the slave trade and solve the labor and population problems needed by the base.

On the question of how to get along with the Navajo Natives, Dai Zhiyuan emphasized: "This tribe is the closest to us and is relatively large. Gaining their trust cannot be based solely on their fear of God. Otherwise, after a long contact in the future, when they find out that we are also human beings, there will be more troubles. So, we're going to take a few steps. Gain mutual trust through transactions; send people to the tribe to help them build more comfortable wooden houses; Medical teams were sent to the tribes to provide voluntary medical treatment and help the indigenous people solve the problem of wintering. As long as it comes down in one winter, the tribe will not be able to do without us. ”

How else to say that the heart of the reader is vicious! Dai Zhiyuan, this guy, what he said was darker than the other. The ultimate goal is to enslave these natives, and it really can't be worse. According to his plan, enough land must be cleared before winter sets in to ensure that wheat planting next spring will meet his needs. At present, the crops in North America are mainly pumpkins, corn, and potatoes. Potatoes, in particular, are small in size and have a low yield, but they taste very good.

Li Heng, who had not spoken, came out at the last moment: "I think everyone has ignored a problem." That's table salt. We have to get the salt pan out quickly, and we don't have much salt with us. "Salt is an inconspicuous thing, but in the Ming Dynasty or in the Americas, it is an indispensable necessity of life.

Luda also added: "The other thing is to build the kiln as soon as possible and burn bricks and pottery." You can also burn some soil and cement to come out, but you can't live in a wooden house all the time, right? ”

Li Heng said again: "One person is short, it is better to call the heads and brains of various departments, and everyone will discuss the next development plan." "A small meeting turned into an enlarged meeting, and the final minutes of the meeting, according to the priority, a total of more than 30 items, must be completed before winter.

At all hours. Survival comes first.

A hundred or so extremely ordinary machetes can be exchanged for more than 200 slaves, which is a very cost-effective deal. Both parties to the transaction feel that they have made a lot of money so that the business can continue. Leaving aside how to house the slaves, Luda set out with a company of soldiers on horseback carrying two mountain cannons.

The Indians have never had a unified nation, and thanks to the abundant resources and vast territory of the American continent, there is little pressure to survive and inertia has also grown. It has caused the tragedy of relatively backward civilization development. On the other hand, Western countries are not under pressure to survive. There was no development on land, and then it turned to the sea, which led to the progress of natural science?

With the help of more than a hundred divine soldiers, the Navajo people are also willing to do something that has no money. The American Indians were never in a group, and there was never a stop of war between them. Outside the valley where the Navajo people lived, Zhao Geng, who had gone out to investigate, also returned. Luda pulled out a hand-drawn map. A tribe that doesn't fall less than fifty kilometers away, the last time it came to rob the Navajos.

"This is where their tribe is located, and according to the bucks, this tribe is comparable to that of the Navajo tribe. The point is, they have a lot of cavalry. The exact number is not clear, the Navajos also have cavalry, I went into the valley to investigate, and there were less than three hundred. Another point is that there have been many wars between the two tribes, and many Navajo territories have been occupied. If it weren't for the valley's rugged terrain, the Navajo would have been unable to migrate. ”

Luda didn't expect Zhao Geng to find so much information, so he nodded with satisfaction, showing a contemplative expression. This battle is not easy to fight, and the first thing we must pay attention to is the existence of cavalry. Relying only on a company of infantry and two mountain artillery pieces was not easy to deal with a large number of cavalry.

"Is there a suitable battlefield for this tribe called Cheyenne?" When Luda asked, Zhao Geng immediately pointed to a point on the map and said, "Here, there is a small river, and war horses can't cross it directly." If a barbed wire fence is pulled on the side of the river, the infantry can calmly shoot the cavalry. ”

"This is it, go, call the bucks, let's get ready." Luda was very decisive, uniting with the Navajo to fight the Cheyenne, and a careful plan was needed before the war to get the maximum benefit with the least loss.

The bucks were very neat, and soon brought the elders along, and the exchange process was a bit painful, but in general, even with drawings and comparisons, these natives still figured out the general meaning of the battle plan, but whether it can be implemented well depends on God. Luda didn't expect to be able to execute it without mistakes, and he hid and laughed when he was halfway through the plan.

While Luda was plotting against the Cheyenne tribe, the Cheyenne tribe was also deliberating on how to deal with the Navajos. The last sneak attack was actually a big accident, the Cheyenne people in a nearby village found out that the main force of the Navajo people had left, and there were four or five hundred people who could enter the valley to make a good profit, but I didn't expect the main force of the Navajo people to come back, and they were annihilated after being surrounded by counter-encirclement, and there were only a dozen people who finally got back.

The Indians on the North American continent continue to fight each other, and the two tribes can be regarded as a blood feud, and this revenge must be avenged, and it must be done as soon as possible. The Cheyenne people carried out a primitive mobilization, gathered about 2,000 cavalry, and under the command of the tribal leader, prepared to kill the door.

Just as the Cheyenne tribe was gathering their men, Luda had arrived at the predetermined battlefield with a company of marines. After a whole day's journey, we came to a place less than ten kilometers away from the Cheyenne people's nest. At the same time, the stag took all the cavalry of the tribe and swam around the Cheyenne nest. Because the terrain of this generation is flat, the stag that is easy to be discovered by the opponent does not have much to gain by its cautious actions, and it swims for three days in a row, and only a dozen enemies have been defeated in total, and eight have been caught hunting.

This move was quickly discovered by the Cheyenne people and they took control of their location. One morning, when a stag had climbed a tree, he saw a herd of cavalry in the distance, jumped down from the tree, beckoned his brothers to get on their horses and run away. At this time, the distance between the two sides was only five hundred meters, and the Cheyenne people refused to let go of these guys and immediately chased after them. Between the two, you chase after me on the grassland, and the Cheyenne people on the absolutely superior side are chasing after each other very quickly, not noticing that after these enemies cross a river, behind a certain raised dirt slope, a group of soldiers are lining up to prepare for battle.

The creek was not wide, and it only took a minute to wade ashore, and after two-thirds of the Cheyenne cavalry had crossed the river, the hidden marine company behind the dirt slope was completed. The buck, who completed the task of luring the enemy, triumphantly came to Luda to ask for credit, and after getting a military hat, he was happy with white teeth. The buck, wearing his hat, immediately led his cavalry upstream, crossed the river from another place, and after rounding the enemy's flank, he was ready to wait for the battle on this side to be over, and then launch a pursuit. Destroy as many enemy cavalry as possible, and then the main force of the tribe will encircle and suppress the old enemy Cheyenne.

The plan went well, and when the Cheyennes continued the pursuit after crossing the river, two 75 mountain guns opened fire. Under the ferocious artillery fire, the Cheyenne people were in a mess, and at the same time, they also found the Marine Company that was lining up. The brave Cheyenne, who had dealt with the Europeans, did not collapse as immediately as the Navajos did in the face of artillery fire, but turned their horses and rushed towards the dirt slopes.

However, at a distance of five hundred meters, the cavalry arrived in an instant, and the Cheyenne people were still dreaming of hacking these accomplices from unknown places with axes and cutting off their scalps, when the platoon guns thumped.

At this time, there was no possibility of stopping, so they could only continue to rush forward, and the Cheyenne cavalry, who had never known what the barbed wire fence was, crashed headlong into the barbed wire, and the people turned over on their backs in chaos.

Fifty meters away, the marines calmly opened fire, raining down on the indigenous cavalry, one after another. The two 75 mountain guns also continued to fire, and did not stop until the barrels were red and the beads of sweat dripped on them and immediately turned into water vapor.

It was a battle that the Cheyenne people could not understand, and they did not know anything about who the opponent was and where it came from. When more than half of the 2,000 cavalry were killed or wounded, the Cheyenne people realized that something was wrong, and they began to turn around and run away, only to find that the originally shallow river water had risen a lot. The way to wade through the water easily turned into a difficult trek.

The Marines left the dirt slope and stepped on the rhythm of the officer's whistle, and began to press forward in a strict formation. The battlefield was littered with dead bodies and horses that had lost their owners, and the platoon guns rang out constantly, knocking out the natives who tried to wade and flee. This nameless river, the water is red with blood.

Even more desperately, the Navajo cavalry appeared behind the flank, although not much, but it was enough to completely destroy the collapsed Cheyenne. The whole battle lasted only two hours from start to finish. There were not many Cheyenne people caught on the battlefield, only more than 300 people, and all of them were wounded.

The cavalry who escaped the river did not escape the pursuit of the stag and his companions, and the machete with the wooden handle became a nightmare for the Cheyenne, and the sharp machete easily cut off the simple weapons of the Cheyenne. (To be continued......)
