The battle here in Quebec has entered a white-hot phase.

Depleted by gunpowder and lead bullet, the French today relied on the walls of the fortress and struggled to defend themselves against the Iroquois attacks.

The Iroquois have left more than 30,000 corpses under the Quebec forts.

It can be described as a heavy loss.

It is precisely because of this relationship that the Iroquois have now simply cut off the idea of retreating and leaving, and are bent on breaking through the Quebec fortress and rushing in, slaughtering all the French.

One side fights to be able to survive, and the other side attacks frantically for revenge and venting.

Although the Iroquois were several times outnumbered by the French, the French had a fort with strong walls and high walls.

So now both sides are competing for endurance.

Now they are just seeing which side can't stand it first and is seized by the opponent.

The Iroquois have learned a great deal of tactics through long periods of attack.

For example, they cut trees around the perimeter and made them into simple ladders that could be used to climb the castle and fight.

Another example is to organize death squads to attack the gates of the fortress.

Each time, the Iroquois inflicted a lot of losses on the French.

Of course, the losses of the Iroquois were much greater.

"We have run out of food, and there is already cannibalism in the fortress. If the Iroquois continue to be surrounded like this, I guess we'll all starve to death here. ”

Two soldiers on duty, chatting on the walls of the Quebec fortress.

Their eyes were filled with numbness and despair.

At this time, in the Quebec fortress, the officials in charge of the defense had already been closed for three times.

Leon had been killed by the civilians who had poured into the fortress a month earlier, and his body had been dumped outside the fortress.

To say that Leon's death was not unjust at all, there was not much food at that time, and everyone was limiting it. But this guy is a big fish and a big meat every day, how can he let others have no opinion.

And this guy has to snatch girls from among the civilians every day and come back to sleep with him, and the next day he will kill the girls again.

Because of his atrocities, the people were angry and the soldiers revolted.

When Leon died. Since there was no possibility of peace talks with the Iroquois, temporary officials were elected.

But these officials all died in the fierce fighting.

Therefore, everyone had to elect officials again and again to lead everyone in the battle.

In fact, the French really don't want to fight at this time.

Such a war is so tragic and bloody that it is completely unthinkable in Europe.

You must know that the European war style of this era has some of the style of the Middle Ages.

In other words, it is more gentlemanly.

Basically, in every war in Europe, not many people died.

When the casualties exceed 10 percent, then the war is over.

The losing side will give the white flag to surrender, and the winning side will also give the loser a decent way to evacuate, because it seems to them to be a very gentlemanly way.

But this set is on the American continent. Not at all.

First of all, the Iroquois don't do it at all.

The Indians believed in a tooth for a tooth and blood for a blood.

As for the gentlemanly demeanor of bullshit, I'm sorry, they don't know or understand it at all.

The heads of dozens of Quebec emissaries are proof of this.

The French were forced to fight by the Iroquois, who did not negotiate peace with them at all, and demanded their lives.

It is precisely for this reason that the French have also rejected the idea of peace talks with the other side. Honestly fought for his life.

Now, whoever wants to talk to the Iroquois is sure to take him to the walls of the fortress, and then point to a large tree with a human head hanging from the Iroquois camp outside the fortress, and let him think it through.

And that's not even the worst.

As the two soldiers who were chatting at the head of the fortress said. Now there is no food in the fortified Quebec.

And now there is the phenomenon of eating corpses.

This has made many people feel horrified and shocked.

Fortunately, it is still corpses that are eaten now, and many people are worried that if they finish eating corpses, will it be their turn to eat the living?

It's not impossible.

Everyone thinks so, but no one says it.

So. Above the fortress in Quebec, there was a very eerie and eerie atmosphere.

Like ordinary people and soldiers, the officials who were re-elected. I started to worry about it.

In the offices of the former officials of the fortress, several men in sloppy and dirty clothes were talking loudly.

"We're isolated here, and I'm going to say we should break out, not sit here and die. It is unlikely that the country will send troops over, and even if it is to send troops to help us, it will take a long time. ”

One of them, blind in one eye, with a golden beard, and a rugged man whose age he couldn't see clearly, said loudly to the people around him.

"That damn Leon had already sent someone to Manhattan, and he was going to have someone go back to mainland France from Manhattan to ask for help. It's been two months now, and I think there's a lot of hope that we'll have to wait a little longer. ”

A young man with a two-puffed beard expressed a different opinion.

However, his opinion immediately aroused everyone's ridicule.

"We'll wait until the local reinforcements come to our rescue, and when they do, I guess we'll either be eaten or starved to death. Don't you look at what we're doing now, can't you use your brain when you speak? ”

"That's it, that's it, this guy doesn't talk and uses his brain, he really says whatever comes to mind. Now that we have no food, many people outside have started to eat corpses. Do you think we can wait for reinforcements from home in such a situation? ”

"I'll do the math for you." , some people even directly calculated the schedule for this guy. "If it starts today, it will take fifty days for the local reinforcements to arrive. I don't think we can last 50 days with our current situation. ”

"Besides, this is just your wishful thinking, you and I both know about the local affairs, and those nobles don't care about our lives or deaths. Even if they were going to send reinforcements to Quebec, it was probably a constant dispute and discussion now, and they didn't put it into practice. ”

"Besides, they're going to call up the legions, and then the ships. It takes time, and it takes a long time. ”

The guy who offered to wait for local reinforcements was completely speechless under your wordlessness.

Everyone's right, and now they are in such a situation. And there can really be things like these things in the country, or even worse.

"So what do you say! Now which of you has a better way! ”

His heart was on fire when everyone said, and he asked loudly.

Well, well, we have to think about it.

Ahem, we'll have to discuss it, after all, it's not a trivial matter.

Everyone was very energetic when they refuted him just now, but when they were asked rhetorically, they began to dodge between words.

Obviously, there is nothing they can do about it now.

Among these people, only the one-eyed man who didn't know the age of Lu Dao at the earliest time was still so calm.

"If you want me to say, we only have two ways to go now."

As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.

"Baltoni, what do you think of? Speak up quickly, and don't let us guess. Now that you're the head of our people, everyone trusts you. ”

When he said that they had two ways to go, everyone was intrigued.

And one of the meanings of the guy who questioned him was revealed, that is, this guy with a beard and a one-eyed dragon was now the head of their people.

At the same time, he is also the highest military governor of Quebec.

When asked like this, Bartoni was not verbose, and he said: "The first way is that we must break through. Rather than being surrounded by Iroquois waiting to die, let's fight our way out. You must know that if we don't break through, then there is only one dead end. Either starve to death, or wait for the enemy to enter the fortress and be dismantled by them. ”

Bartoni wasn't trying to scare them, because they had lived on the American continent for some years.

Therefore, they were well aware of the methods of the Indians.

Stripping the skin and knocking out the bones, disemboweling the belly, and torturing a big living person to death are all the best tricks of the Indians.

If the fortress is breached, then this is what awaits them.

At that time, if you want to die happily, it may be an extravagant hope.

And there was no food in the fortress, so as Bartoni said, they would starve to death in a few days.

Unless you are willing to eat human flesh, the question is how many days can you eat human flesh?

"There's a good chance we'll survive, but if we stay here, we'll be dead. Now it's up to you to have the guts, which of you wants to fight with me? ”

After saying that, Bartoni's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, waiting for the big guy's reaction.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, these people's faces were nothing but numbness and panic. He was really disappointed that he didn't have the kind of reaction he wanted.

"Don't any of you want to fight! You cowards! ”

Baltoni got up and slammed his fist on the table in front of him, knocking the cup to the ground.

"Even if we can break out, where can we go?"

At this time, someone asked. (To be continued.) )
