Chapter 242: Shocked, Turtles! (Three more!) )
When a camp south of Iroquois Road was attacked, they reacted immediately.
A team of about 4,000 people is coming this way.
Originally, they had come out of the fortress to attack the enemy in that camp, but when they came to this side, they realized that things were not as they had imagined.
These enemies look completely different from the white skins in terms of clothing, appearance, and ranks.
Some of these enemies are all black, as if they were evil spirits from hell. All of them were strong and strong, and they looked very powerful.
Just standing there can make you feel a lot of pressure.
In addition to these black enemies, there are also some enemies with black hair and black eyes.
Compared to those who are all black, these enemies with yellow skin and black eyes will not look so oppressive in their figures.
However, these smaller foes, with their dry wine like a jaguar staring at its prey, made the Iroquois feel very bad.
As primitive Iroquois people, they possess a very sensitive sixth sense, which has been honed by their constant dealings with wild beasts.
Now, the aura that should have been felt in the beast was felt in some enemy they had never seen before.
But it didn't matter, even if the other party looked powerful, it couldn't stop the Iroquois from wrath, and any enemy who provoked them would have to pay with blood.
The heroic Iroquois are the masters of this world, and the souls of the warriors will return to the bosom of Mother Earth when they die in battle.
The Iroquois warriors shouted or sang inexplicable songs, and then slaughtered with their weapons in a haphazard manner.
There was no fear on their faces, only fanaticism and undying energy.
It is not surprising to say, after all, they fought with the French for several months. The berserk factor in their bones had already been released, turning them into bloodthirsty beings.
This is a normal time, such a crazy and fearless attack, and it can really crush the enemy.
This method is often used by the Iroquois, and every time it is used, it will get very good results.
But what the Iroquois didn't know was that this time they were facing a completely different enemy than they were used to.
And the tactics they are using now will not have any effect on this opponent.
"Raise your gun! The first row of shotguns, put! ”
Bang! Bang! Phew!
With the orders of the squad leaders, the first platoon of Gurkha warriors. Pulled the trigger.
The fighters in the first row used shotguns.
Although there were only four or five hundred people in the first row, the number did not seem to be very large.
But the weapons they use are a bit perverted in this era.
What's more, the opponents they faced were still the kind of Indians who were quite backward.
When the first row of soldiers in front of the Gurkha formation finished shooting, they quickly retreated to the rear, and then skillfully cleaned the barrel and loaded gunpowder and lead bullet.
The soldiers from the second platoon walked up, not using shotguns. Rather, flintlock rifles.
After all, there are not many shotguns equipped in the legion, so it is impossible for everyone to have one.
Now the standard equipment of the soldiers under Zhao Hongyu is still mainly flintlock rifles.
"Put!"
Woohoo!
The number of people in the second row queue was a bit large, about 1,300 people.
Face the charge of the Iroquois. They are not flustered at all, and they are doing their own things in an orderly manner.
After firing, they stepped back again, and then it was the turn of the third platoon.
Poor Iroquois. As they shot shotguns, they were put down in a whole row of people.
The faces and bodies of these people were densely covered with blood holes from shotguns.
The person who was shot fell to the ground and did not die immediately. The pain tormented their nerves, causing the self-proclaimed brave warriors to let out a wail of pain and convincing and rolling on the ground.
Compared to shotguns, flintlock rifles are better.
When the lead bullet of this rifle hits a person, it will only make a bloody hole in the body, and as long as it does not hit the vital point directly, then the person will not lose his life immediately.
Even those who were shot were able to continue fighting, and it didn't seem to have much of an impact.
It's a pity that this situation is aimed at the usual Europeans, and these genetic people are different.
First, they used a file to make a small cross for the lead bullet, so that when the lead bullet hits the human body, it splits and opens, blasting the body into a horrible little bloody hole.
This is somewhat similar to the modern dummy bomb.
Originally, Zhao Hongyu didn't want his subordinates to use this kind of lead bullet.
But Wang Shan and they are very respectful of this.
The reason is very simple, there is no nationality convention these days, so don't make this kind of buckshot.
Since there is no one, then why can't it be used?
In the end, Zhao Hongyu was persuaded by Wang Shan.
As a result, this buckshot became popular among genetic human soldiers.
Besides, even if Zhao Hongyu doesn't agree, there is no way, and when the time comes, his subordinates will not be able to control him secretly in the legion.
You must know that although these genetic people have loyalty, they are not that kind of robot.
Therefore, many times Zhao Hongyu also had to think about it and accept their opinions. lest they have an opinion of themselves that would affect their loyalty.
From the body of Indian Ah San, Zhao Hongyu can almost judge that everything he does has an impact on loyalty.
Because as he slowly became stronger, after having more and more resources and soldiers, his coercion on Ah San had reached as much as 65 points.
You must know that Lu Dao, at the earliest, his own coercion on them was only 50 points.
Of course, in addition to these, there are some things that make Zhao Hongyu more depressed, that is, India's Ah Sanguang is coercive, but his loyalty is not rising at all.
This point is the most criticized by Zhao Hongyu.
The topic is a bit far away, so let's get down to business.
Returning to the battlefield, the Iroquois had less than five salvos in time for the Gurkhas. Nearly 30 percent of the combatants were lost.
This caused the morale of the Iroquois to be extinguished quite a bit.
Not far away, on the walls of the Quebec fortress, there were also many people standing densely, all of them craned their necks one by one, watching the battle below in amazement.
These French people have the same thought in their hearts at this moment.
"I'll it, what kind of tactic is this, why is it so bullboyy. When the Iroquois didn't even rush in front of them, they consumed thirty percent of their personnel, and if they really rushed in front of them, how many lives would it take to fill it......"
The battle below. The French on the walls of the fortress were completely suppressed.
For the first time, these French people also knew that the legions of the Song Empire were such a good existence, and their army was so powerful.
It's appalling, it's unbelievable.
The army of the Song Empire was arranged in five standard horizontal lines, and it was constantly firing repeatedly.
With each shot, the attacking Iroquois fell in response. The cyan smoke rose and filled the air, making the scene even more eerie, and the French now don't know how to describe the scene they saw.
But many people know the way. They will never forget what they see today in their lifetime.
"Shoot!"
Woohoo!
The rank and file officers of the Gurkhaki Regiment are constantly giving orders.
The whole team now wants an efficient harvester, constantly harvesting the lives of the Iroquois on the other side.
No matter how fierce the Iroquois were, they desperately wanted to rush over. But the short distance of 50 meters was like a trench that would never be crossed by legal counsel, and they could not cross it.
There were a few times when it was clear that they were already very close, and they could rush into each other's queues, and then they could swing their blades. Cut off the enemy's throats and let their bright red blood spurt out.
But the worst of them will be blasted back by the teams with shotguns, every time.
The sense of despair and powerlessness that the French once had. Now the Iroquois have really tasted it.
It didn't taste good.
In less than ten minutes, the Iroquois had lost an average number of soldiers, which meant that two thousand warriors had fallen on the battlefield, and the losses were not insignificant.
"Wave Attack Forward!"
The Iroquois offensive had finally stopped, and they were ready to adjust and find the enemy's weak spots.
It's a pity that their opponents don't give them a chance at all.
When they halted their attack, Sharma, the leader of the Gurkha regiment, gave the order to advance the entire army.
Then, the legions, arranged in five columns, began to fire at each other like a tidal wave, and the Iroquois were swallowed up in an instant, as if they had been caught in a raging ocean storm.
Keep a steady pace, don't rush, don't mess with yourself, yes, that's it. “
Sharma sat on horseback, observing the situation on the battlefield, his orders quickly conveyed through the heralds, while his eyes fixed on the reaction of the Iroquois opposite.
Now, the situation on the battlefield is completely under his control.
The rhythm of the battle was also interpreted with the Gurkha regiment.
The Iroquois were very aggrieved, because they could no longer control the situation in the current battle. And they can only passively follow the rhythm of the other party to continue the next battle.
This is a very bad thing for the Iroquois.
However, the Iroquois had no good way to break the deadlock.
In fact, strictly speaking, the Iroquois are not out of the question.
Quite simply, as long as they retreat.
For Sharma would not have given the order to pursue them.
Therefore, as long as the military commander on the Iroquois side ordered the whole army to retreat.
Then they can completely get out of this battlefield, and the battle that makes them very helpless and has great losses.
Unfortunately, the Iroquois dictionary does not contain the word 'flee'.
Because if they do so, they will never be able to hold their heads up.
As an Indian, even if you stand in front of death, you must proudly raise your face to meet it.
It was this notion that led to the demise of this army of 4,000 men.
Under the wave attack of the Gurkha Legion, the Iroquois were beaten and had no power to fight back.
It's better to say that this is not so much a battle than a one-sided slaughter.
Behind the Gurkhas, there were more than 500 Indian warriors sent by the Song Tigers of Lake Ontario, who followed only as the Gurkha regiments advanced, and were responsible for 'cleaning up' the Iroquois warriors who had been badly wounded by shotguns or flintlock rifles in the previous attack.
In this era, there was no such organization as the Red Cross, and there was no humanitarian spirit to save lives.
For the Indians who accompanied the army, the so-called 'clean-up' was to take out a sharp dagger, bend down and put it on the throat of the badly wounded Iroquois warriors, and then the Iroquois warriors were freed.
Of course, they also cut off the scalps of the Iroquois, knowing that this thing is considered a military merit.
When the battle is over, they can use the Iroquois scalp to exchange it for items from Lamar or Sharma.
If you don't want to change it here, Song Hu can also change it for them when you return to Lake Ontario.
So, when the Indians who accompanied the army 'cleaned up' the Iroquois, they were very careful and serious.
For what these Indians who followed him, Sharma did not intend to care, and would not care.
Because he knows the Tao, sometimes although he can't get used to it, he doesn't necessarily have to stop it. After all, the rule of scalping is considered a military industry, and it has always been popular among Indians.
And this can also allow the Indian soldiers who accompany the army to maintain a strong fighting passion.
That's why he won't stop this thing in the same way. If it doesn't work well, it will discourage people's enthusiasm, not to mention, but it will cause some unnecessary trouble, then it is not good.
The Iroquois on the other side also have ranged weapons, but their ranged weapons are not very powerful, and there is no way to fight the Gurkha Legion.
Those bows and blowguns can hardly give them effective damage at a distance of more than fifty meters.
At this time, quite a few Indians returned from the flanks, and they brought the surrounding situation with them.
"My lord, the enemy is constantly increasing troops here, do we still want to continue fighting?"
Sharma's lieutenant walked back from the Indian warrior who had just reconnoitred the neighborhood and asked Sharma about his surroundings.
"Why not, we want to make the Iroquois unforgettable, and we want the Frenchmen behind us to know how powerful our Imperial Army is. We must do something that kills two birds with one stone. ”
Sharma answered the adjutant's question.
"Maintain a steady speed, most of the enemy is approaching, everyone pay attention!"
The heralds, constantly shuttling back and forth at the back of the group, conveyed Sharma's orders.
"Get someone to tell the French and tell them to keep the fortress. I'm most worried about them, but don't we want to kill them here with a loud voice, they lost the fortress there. ”
Sharma ordered to his lieutenant. (To be continued.) )
