The Iroquois army was devastated by the Gurkha Legion.

Fortunately, this Iroquois team is only a small regiment in its army, and there are not many of them, so even if they are destroyed, they will not break their bones.

At the same time, news of the battle that took place here at the southern end spread to other places as soon as possible.

The French actually launched a counteroffensive and inflicted great losses on themselves!

How can this be done, this is simply intolerable.

So, after getting the news, the Iroquois hurriedly reacted. Decisively send troops in a short time to fight these damned Frenchmen.

This fragmented corps that had been struck and had no power to fight back was the fastest to reach the Quebec fortress.

To the surprise of the Iroquois, however, the enemy they faced was not the French at all, but a corps from another city.

Both tactics and their fighting style were very different from the French.

This made the Iroquois, who were accustomed to the French combat style, fall into disadvantage at the beginning of the engagement, and were drawn by the opponent's battle rhythm.

At this time, the surrounding Iroquois regiments were still coming.

They also received the news here.

Upon learning that their legions had been wiped out, the Iroquois were indignant and shouted for revenge.

They didn't notice anything wrong with it, for in the eyes of the Iroquois, the enemy had defeated their team by sheer superiority in numbers.

As long as their side can outnumber each other in numbers, then it will be their Iroquois who can win this battle in the end.

As a result, the Iroquois began to slow down their marches under the influence of this idea. All the legions that came to help in the battle were gathered and consolidated into a large corps.

For a time, the number of Iroquois was increasing.

"Our lord wants me to inform you that you must not let go of the fort's defenses and give the Iroquois an opportunity. He feared that the Iroquois would pin us down with some of their forces and send troops to attack the fortress. ”

Sharma's lieutenant entered the fortress and told Bartoni what he feared.

When Bartoni heard this, he said to the lieutenant, "Tell you, my lord, that we will definitely guard the fortress." If the Iroquois want to take the fortress, it will require us all to die. ”

The adjutant was noncommittal. Anyway, he has already conveyed the meaning he wants to convey, and the rest of the things are not up to him, a little lieutenant, to decide.

"Don't we need to participate in the battle below? I saw that the Iroquois legion numbered more than 30,000 men. Standing on the walls of the fortress, Bartoni could clearly see that not far away, the Iroquois were gathering the rest of the team to expand themselves.

It was clear that the Iroquois were gathering their troops for a decisive battle with the Gurkha of Sharma.

"You adults are a little overly entrusted, and you have not rested since you came all the way. Immediately put into battle, this is a taboo for soldiers. ”

A temporary official of the fortress standing beside Baltoni said to the adjutant with some concern at this time.

The adjutant smiled: "For us, the number of enemies is not a matter of pressure, we can easily deal with them." War is no longer what it used to be, and we'll let the Iroquois know what is happening in the age of the Iroquois. They are already lagging behind. ”

On the adjutant's face, there was a very confident expression.

He was completely unconcerned about what the French feared, and had a strong sense of confidence that he could get rid of the Iroquois.

Such self-confidence seems to the French to be simply unreasonable and arrogant.

Hum. Wait until you suffer a loss, and you will know the way.

In the hearts of some French people spit such words.

Anyway, now that reinforcements have arrived, the pressure on them has been relieved a lot.

And even if the reinforcements were defeated by the Iroquois. It doesn't have much of an impact on them anymore. Because the defeated reinforcements will also be reported to the empire.

In this way, the Empire's reinforcements will arrive in Quebec in an endless stream, and the role of the war will change from the Iroquois and the French to the Song Empire and the Iroquois.

It must be said that the ideas of the French are very realistic.

Anyway, everything that should be said has been said, and what should be reminded has been reminded, and whether the other party listens or not is not their business, is it?

Not far before the fortress of Quebec, behind the queue of the Gurkhas.

The lieutenant had now left the fortress and returned to Sharma's side.

"My lord, the Iroquois on the other side are gathering their armies to consolidate and expand the incoming legions. Looks like they want to get rid of us in one go, maybe we're annoying them. ”

There wasn't much of a mood swing on the adjutant's face, and you couldn't feel his fear of the Iroquois' ever-expanding troops.

This, to the fortress on the French was completely different.

Wow, it's over 40,000 men, and the Iroquois are still growing.

Wow, it looks like the Iroquois want to get rid of these reinforcements in one go.

Are these military governors of the Song Empire fools, how can they deal with so many Iroquois when they come from afar and immediately go into battle.

Yes, yes, even if their muskets are sharp, they can't deal with so many enemies. You know, there are more than 40,000 Iroquois on the opposite side of them.

With visual inspection, it is actually easy to calculate the number of people.

This kind of skill can be regarded as a unique skill in the era of cold weapons.

Therefore, it is not difficult to determine the number of Iroquois.

Not necessarily, these reinforcements are very powerful. If you think about the battle they just had, it was easy to deal with those thousands of Iroquois, didn't you?

Someone made a small suggestion.

However, this hopeful little view was soon rejected by others.

Why, the Iroquois who fought them just now were very few in number, and they were several times more numerous than the other side.

If in such a situation, they can't solve each other, then these soldiers of the Song Empire can really do it.

It is said that the army of the Song Empire is powerful, whether this situation is true or not, it is difficult to look at the next battle to find out.

Most of the French, who stood on the walls of the fortress and watched the battle, were not very optimistic about Sharma's next battle.

Even some of them have already given very pessimistic predictions.

Although just now, Sharma and the others used devastating means to deal with the attack of the thousands of Iroquois and wiped out all the opponents.

But even then, they could not convince the French to have confidence in them.

The reason is simple, it is because Sharma's Gurkha corps is too small in number. Compared to the growing Iroquois legion, the Gurkha legion of more than 15,000 men is much smaller.

The situation had changed all at once, and the number of people had become Sharma, and the Iroquois were three or four times more numerically outnumbered than Sharma.

It is important to know that superiority in numbers is an important criterion for judging the situation of a war in an era when cold weapons were still popular, and it can also determine the outcome of a battle.

It's just that everyone doesn't know that this era has begun to change like fermentation because of the arrival of a small butterfly.

And this change, first of all, began in the Americas.

"If it had been before, numerical superiority could indeed have made or broken a battle. But now it has become different, because of the arrival of His Highness and ours, this era is destined to change dramatically. Those who are still superstitious about the past and those who do not accept changes will be abandoned and swallowed up by history and disappear in the long river of history. ”

After listening to the words of the adjutant beside him, Sharma's face did not change, he just expressed his feelings without being salty.

"You're right, the change of the times starts with us." , the adjutant responded.

"Let the reserves go up, we'll try to extend the column as long as possible, and don't leave any gaps." , Shamar ordered. "Defending both flanks at the same time, it is impossible for the enemy not to judge that our weakness is on both flanks, and I think they are likely to attack both sides in a roundabout way in order to defeat us on both flanks."

Strictly speaking, the wings cannot be considered a weakness.

But for many people, the offensive points of line tactics are indeed the two wings.

A frontal attack can result in heavy casualties, so attacking both flanks will often have good results.

But the problem is that this problem has long been solved by Zhao Hongyu and them.

But the Iroquois and the others didn't know what to do.

"My lord, Lord Lamar sent someone to ask, do you need him to send troops to help in the war? If not, he would quickly make a detour back to the Iroquois camp on the west side of the fortress. ”

At this time, a Somali old black gene man hurried over from the other side of the river. He informs Sharma of Lamar's inquiries and what Lamar is going to do next.

Sharma didn't think about it at all, and replied directly: "Tell Lamar that I don't need him here to help me fight." It's going to be hard for these Iroquois to defeat us, and since he's going to fight in a roundabout way, he'll go. I think that the elite of the Iroquois has been attracted to me now, so it is not certain that he will gain a lot. ”

The black man nodded, straightened up, gave a military salute, and turned to leave.

Hey

When the black man left, Sharma laughed wickedly.

Now the elite of the Iroquois and most of the warriors are drawn to me. Lamar is sure to surprise the Iroquois when he detours behind them.

Perhaps, today, we can open up the predicament here in Quebec and turn the situation around. (To be continued.) )
