Chapter 240: Prelude to the Battle of Iroquois

In the face of the Iroquois natives, the French in the Quebec fortress had to endure the great problem of having no food or drink in addition to hell for the endless attacks of the other side.

The people inside the fortress have already begun to eat corpses.

In order to survive, this is also a matter of no choice.

If there is a way, then who can do such a thing.

The Frenchman, who claimed to be famous all over the world, actually ate the carrion of the same kind of corpse at this time.

It's unthinkable.

But that's not the most important thing.

During the time that Bartony broke through to Manhattan for help, another plague broke out in the fortress.

The reason is very simple, it is because of the epidemic caused by eating carrion and eating corpses.

Many people start vomiting and diarrhea, and it will take up to two days for these infected people to die.

A dark cloud shrouded the sky over the fortress of Quebec, and everyone's mood was very gloomy.

Fortunately, the people who got sick were those who were so hungry that they couldn't stand it anymore and ate the carrion on the corpses.

As long as you don't eat the carrion of the corpse, then you won't get sick.

"It's not the way to go on like this, and I don't think it's right to put all your hopes in Baltoni." , the temporarily elected officials gathered again and held a small meeting.

"What can we do without pinning our hopes on Baltoni? To know the current situation of Lu Dao, we can only hope that God will bless him. ”

"What you said is very wrong, even if God blesses him, he is on another continent, and the divine power here is even stronger. So let's be on our own, God can't count on it now. ”

"Bastard, if you dare to say that, you will be burned at the stake!"

"So what, don't you still have to find the Inquisition to deal with me?"

Originally, it was just a meeting to discuss countermeasures, but before they could say a word, someone quarreled.

"Alright, alright. Don't even make any noise. We can't count on God or Barthony, now let's discuss it and see if it doesn't work, let's break through with all our might. ”

After persuading the two people who were arguing, someone proposed.

Yes, Bartoni has given two paths before.

One of them is to concentrate all the strength of Quebec to break through.

It's just that at that time, they considered that if they broke through, there would be many old, weak, sick and disabled people who could not take them with them, and they would become a burden. So I rejected the proposal and chose the second path.

Now that the situation is urgent, they can't care so much.

Now they can only ignore their reputation, gather their elite strength and strength to break through to the city. As for the old, weak, sick and disabled. That's their fate.

"Do you want to give up on the old, weak, sick and disabled? Aren't you worried about the future, you must know that we have done such a thing, and there will be no way to face other people in the future. ”

There are still those who oppose this path.

However, this opponent was quickly silenced by others.

"There's no other way we can do now, we'll all die if we keep it. Rather than all die here, it is better to choose to let most of the people live. ", someone said. As long as some of us survive, then it is okay to take revenge in the future. Besides, it's not okay to sacrifice some people for anything. It's better than waiting here all to die together. ”

"I'm in favor of a breakout. Leave behind those who can't move, those who can't run fast, those who are old and sick. Immediately, someone began to agree with this.

The young man who was against it just now. At this time, I couldn't interject at all.

A few other people, you and I began to plan a breakthrough. No matter what the young man said, they wouldn't listen.

Yes, they've had enough of it here.

They approve of giving it a go. Let's see if we can break through the siege, and it's better than waiting to die in the fortress.

Seeing that everyone was ignoring him, the young man had to sigh. There was silence.

He knew that now these people didn't want to keep it.

Now these people, they don't care about what you say, they are now full of thoughts about how to break through and try to keep themselves alive.

"The Iroquois are attacking!!"

Just as a few people were discussing in a chaotic manner, a pitch-changing scream came from the watchtower not far away.

"Damn the natives, don't they know how to rest for a while? Now that their attacking time is getting shorter and shorter, it looks like we really can't wait any longer and have to come up with a decision as soon as possible. ”

When everyone parted ways and left, everyone finally came up with a resolution.

But either way, now they had to push back the Iroquois attack firstβ€”

Dividing Line –

"Sir, ahead is the Forest of Sadlaide at the southern tip of Quebec, and we will only have to cross this forest to reach the St. Lawrence River."

Three days later, Lamar and Sharma finally arrived in Quebec with a large army, led by Bartoni and his fellow Indians.

In the past three days, they have been in a hurry, and have only spent very little time resting.

It was only three days later that I arrived here.

Lamar and Sharma fell silent as they looked at the forest ahead.

After a long while, Lamar spoke: "I'm afraid that the Iroquois will ambush in the forest, after all, this is the southern end of the Quebec fortress, and you ran from this direction." With you this time, I don't think the Iroquois will take it lightly. ”

Bartoni nodded and replied, "Mr. Lamar, you are right. There must have been Iroquois in this forest. But I just don't know if it's an Iroquois patrol, or if it's a big force. ”

When Bartoni met the Iroquois in the forest, it was foggy.

He couldn't see how many people there were on the other side at all, and at the same time, he was running for his life at that time, how could he still pay attention to these things.

That's why he told Lamar that he couldn't judge.

Lamar leaned over and gave an order to the guards behind him.

"Send five squads to explore the way first, and every group of ten people will be on guard!"

But after all, they are already here, and Lamar can't stop moving forward.

Know that Quebec is ahead, so no matter what difficulties there are now, they have to bite the bullet.

Besides. There were almost 30,000 of them.

Therefore, Lamar was confident enough to meet an Iroquois in the forest, and he could do it hard.

"Don't use muskets and shotguns, try to use cold weapons, the forest terrain restricts muskets and is not easy to use." , as the five pathfinder squads entered the forest, the large group began to form a group of ten people and then entered the forest.

Before entering the forest, the leaders of the genetic team kept telling the soldiers some precautions.

Bartony had been following the Manhattan Army for three days.

During these three days of entourage. Bartoni had a very intuitive understanding of the legions of the Song Empire.

These men are well-armed and have strong military qualities. At the same time, they have a deep desire to fight, and they are not afraid of war.

After three days of rapid marching, these soldiers were still in order, and the queue was not disordered.

This is simply unthinkable in Europe.

Comparing it with the soldiers of the Song Empire, Bartoni came to the conclusion that the soldiers of Europe were simply scum.

Of course, mercenaries who work for money are different. These guys are outlaws, and there is no comparison.

Cuckoo!

Goo-goo!

The procession of 30,000 people entered the forest, but it was like a small drop of water falling into the sea, and it couldn't turn over anything.

At this time, the reconnaissance team in front sent back the news. They were confronted by the Iroquois.

"My lord, the Scout team has encountered the Iroquois, and it seems to be just a patrol of the other side." , an Indian with the army ran back with two genetic people. reported to Lamar.

"Did you do it?"

Lamar asked hurriedly.

"When we started, the other party didn't give us a chance to speak at all, and put down the five of us in the first time. Then we fought back. The other party is completely destroyed. ”

Now that he has done it, Lamar doesn't fantasize about anything.

Besides, he had come to fight the Iroquois this time, so it was very unrealistic to think of anything as much as possible.

"How many people are on the other side, and will there be a camp for them nearby?"

Lamar asked a barrage of questions.

"There are seventeen people on the other side, and they hide it well. If it weren't for the fact that we had Indian warriors with us, it would have been impossible to find each other. ”

The Gene Man Warrior replied.

"We don't know if there's an Iroquois camp nearby, but we've sent someone to find out."

"Order the troops to move at full speed, and be free to attack the Iroquois in the event of an order, let this order be conveyed." Lamar reacted quickly.

With Lamar's orders, the marching speed increased a lot.

Everyone no longer moved forward so cautiously, but simply ran.

In Lamar's opinion, they have already done it anyway, and according to the Indians, they are now enemies.

Therefore, no matter how careful you are, the other side can still find your weakness and launch a surprise attack. So what he had to do now was to rush out of the forest before the enemy could react.

Of course, it would be best if you could find the Iroquois camp responsible for encircling the southern tip of Quebec.

The troops moved quickly through the forest, and some of the genetic warriors on the periphery were sporadically attacked by Iroquois hidden in the shadows.

For the Indians, the forest was simply their home turf, and the genetics had no power to fight back.

Fortunately, these attacks were scattered and not on a large scale, and the number of attackers was small, so Lamar's casualties were not very large.

"My lord, we've spotted Camp Iroquois, and the team on the left is fighting each other!" (To be continued.) )
