Forty or fifty thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people have to do the most dying struggle.

This is Sharma's opinion.

The Iroquois on the other side didn't see it that way, and they thought it a big no-no for the pursuers. As a result of their constant division of forces, their original advantage is no longer there, and now is a great opportunity to defeat them.

As long as these pursuers are defeated, then their forty or fifty thousand people can stay and recuperate.

As long as there is a period of thirty years, there will be no difficulty in growing again.

When the time comes, they can kill and take revenge.

The idea of the Iroquois is very simple, and there is nothing wrong with it.

It's not a good idea to be chased like this all the time, and now that the original advantage of the pursuers no longer exists, it's a good opportunity to destroy each other.

Therefore, for the sake of yourself and your clansmen, it is still a very correct choice to fight each other.

A rough estimate shows that the number of pursuers now is three or four thousand. On the other hand, there are still 89,000 or less than 10,000 elite soldiers on his side, as well as more than 30,000 old and weak.

If the whole clan is really desperate, the other party will really be able to deal with themselves.

It was with this in mind that the Iroquois came to a halt and began to line up against their pursuers.

"My lord, the Iroquois are in formation, and it seems that after our numbers are reduced, the other party's mind is alive again." After seeing the Iroquois list the formation, Sharma's lieutenant, a small but powerful Gurkhaki, walked up to him and said to him.

"Then they really miscalculated, don't look at us at a disadvantage in numbers, but we really won't necessarily lose when we fight. In this era has changed, personal martial arts are not of much use at this time, and now it is the world of muskets. ”

Sharma was not at all worried about the Iroquois attack, on the contrary, he was very eager for the Iroquois to fight back against him.

So. He can take the opportunity to destroy the other party and never have to pursue it anymore.

"Ordered the soldiers to check their gunpowder and lead bullets, and after such a long pursuit, we also consumed a lot, because there was no logistical supply, so we had to know about the situation." , Sharma instructed the adjutant.

After the adjutant answered, he immediately turned around and conveyed.

All of a sudden, all the Gurkha soldiers began to check their gunpowder and buckshot, and reported the amount.

Anyway, the Iroquois are still in formation, and they still have plenty of time.

Soon. Information on the remaining condition of gunpowder and buckshot was fed back to Sharma.

"It's not bad, basically we still have sixty percent of the gunpowder and ammunition left, enough for us to support three big wars." After listening to the report, Sharma gestured to the adjutant with a satisfied chin.

"My lord, the elite soldiers of the other side will not exceed 10,000 according to observation, but they have more than 30,000 old and weak." , the adjutant began to report on the information observed ahead. For Sharma's reference. "It's easy to deal with less than 10,000 elite Iroquois warriors. My fear is that at this juncture, even the old and weak will step onto the battlefield. In this way, our enemies will exceed 40,000 people. ”

The most rear. The adjutant voiced his concerns.

Sharma listened to the adjutant's words and groaned, he felt that his adjutant's judgment was not impossible, so he had to make an assessment and plan in advance now.

When the time comes, this situation really appears, and it will not be good to make yourself at a loss.

The number of his current legions is about 3,300 people. In terms of numbers, it is much smaller than the main Iroquois force.

If the other party all presses up and fights hard, it is really difficult to deal with.

At the same time, the Iroquois took advantage of the large number of people, attacking their flanks and making a detour to the rear. That would make you very passive.

Therefore, after thinking about it very carefully, Sharma said to the adjutant: "Pass the order, if the other party's whole clan presses up, quickly form a musket phalanx to deal with it." Later generations of French people used this tactic against cavalry, and I think we can use it against the Iroquois, and everyone has been practicing for a long time and is already very proficient, isn't it? ”

The adjutant nodded: "Good lord, I'll pass it on." ”

The adjutant then passed the order on again, and then from the mid-level officers to the junior officers, and then from the junior officers to the soldiers of their respective squads.

"Everyone, pay attention, we have a lot of enemies. This time the battle will be very difficult, if all the people are pressed, everyone remember to put on the bayonet, according to the usual training to form a phalanx to face the enemy! ”

For a while, the voices of the squad leaders rose and fell one after another in the five columns.

Sharma led his cavalry of three hundred men to the rear of the line, and set his sights on the Iroquois opposite.

I saw a few men who looked like Iroquois leaders come to the front of the battle, raise their cross axes in their hands, and keep shouting something to the Iroquois warriors.

The Iroquois warriors also raised their weapons and shouted.

Then, a group of old and weak women walked out from behind the elite warriors, and they were densely packed in numbers.

The weapons of these people include wooden sticks, wooden forks, and rarely iron weapons.

"Looks like the Iroquois are planning to take a desperate gamble, and they don't have to wait for them to attack and form a phalanx!"

Seeing what was happening on the Iroquois side, Sharma turned to the lieutenants beside him.

Then, several lieutenants turned their horses and rushed to the front of the formation.

The drummers and bagpiers who accompanied the army played their instruments.

Then the flanks of the five columns began to retract, and soon formed a square phalanx.

After the formation of the phalanx, the Gurkha soldiers loaded their bayonets onto their muskets and surrounded Sharma and his cavalry in the middle.

"Forward!"

With Sharma's order, the phalanx of the Gurkha corps began to advance slowly.

They stepped to the drummer's beat, marching in unison to the sound of bagpipes, toward the Iroquois.

"These brutal enemies have slaughtered our people and our brothers and relatives. Their strength is obvious to all, and now we have been chased and killed by these people for so many days, and now we have no way to escape. Even if you can escape. We will also be chased by them forever, have you ever thought about such a day? ”

"I don't want to! Don't want to! ”

"Since we don't want to live like this, let's defeat them. Originally, there were a lot of people chasing after us, but in order to chase down other clansmen, they divided a lot of manpower. There aren't many of them left now, and we outnumber them now, so we can beat them if we fight hard. ”

On the Iroquois side, mobilization was also underway in front of the station.

When they saw the Gurkha Corps slowly pressing up, the leaders stopped being verbose.

The Iroquois elders walked very consciously to the front. Then he began to run slowly forward.

For the sake of the people behind them, they voluntarily came to the front to cover the enemy's muskets. Get close to the enemy for the elite warriors behind you and fight for opportunities.

Now they have a numerical advantage over their comrades, and as long as they get close to the enemy, they can be defeated by virtue of their numerical superiority.

After all, in hand-to-hand combat, the musket does not have much advantage.

Even some of the older women went to the front and started running.

This scene is a bit tragic.

Sharma put down the monocular in his hand, and there was not much fluctuation on his face.

It's not that he's cold-blooded and ruthless. Rather, he was deeply aware of the cruelty of the war.

If he had pity on the Iroquois, but if he had been defeated, the Iroquois would not have come to pity him.

Besides, war is meant to be brutal. The act of defeating the enemy and destroying the opponent's vitality. At such a time, any mercy is very unseemly.

"Fire after two hundred yards! Phalanx shoots forward! ”

Fire from a distance of two hundred yards and shoot forward!

Fire at a distance of two hundred yards, design forward!

"It will never be you who will leave a name in history."

Sharma sat coldly on horseback. He whispered expressionlessly.

Woohoo!

As time passed, the battle began.

The queue in front of the phalanx began to fire, and the oncoming Iroquois elders fell in response.

The phalanx of the Gurkha regiments did not stop. Keep moving slowly.

They have a lot of training, and it is precisely because of more training than ordinary people that they can keep the queue unchaotic.

Soon, the Iroquois surrounded the phalanx.

"Stop! Defend against attacks on the spot! ”

Enjoying the impact from all sides, the phalanx finally stopped.

Around the phalanx, there were Iroquois who were constantly attacking.

By this time, the Iroquois had exhausted the encirclement of the phalanx, and the Gurkha legions had no way out.

Now for the Gurkha Corps, there was only one way they could get out alive, and that was to wipe out the Iroquois.

At this time, the advantages of the phalanx were fully revealed.

Although they were attacked from all sides, due to the peculiarities of the phalanx, the Gurkhas were also able to attack on all sides to block the attacks of the Iroquois.

Occasionally, though, some of the fish that slipped through the net came closer, the muskets with bayonets on them would be used as long hairs to pierce the bodies of those guys.

In front of the current phalanx, the bayonet Rulin made the phalanx look like a hedgehog with a clumped body, leaving the Iroquois with nowhere to eat.

"Resist, don't panic, the Iroquois can't do anything about us. As long as the battle line is stabilized, the enemy will have nothing to do with us! ”

The officers kept shouting loudly to cheer up the Gurkha fighters.

In fact, they don't need to encourage them at all, these genetic people cultivated through templates will also complete the order to the death.

One by one, their faces were expressionless, and they were doing repetitive movements mechanically.

Clean the barrel, reload the gunpowder buckshot, then go to the front row and pull the slap, back ...... (To be continued.) )
