Food!

For the Indians living on the American continent, it was an irresistible temptation.

Because of the problems of productivity and agricultural technology, the Indians could not achieve self-sufficiency with primitive techniques.

Of course, we're talking about the Indians of North America, not the Maya descendants of Central and South America.

Compared with the Indians of North America, the aborigines of Central and South America have a much better life. Corn, potatoes, and other crops can provide them with enough food to fill their stomachs.

You can even hunt to get meat for protein.

In this regard, the Indians living in North America are not comparable to their compatriots in Central America and South America.

The Indians of North America, the vast majority of tribes, relied on hunting for food.

Their food chain is very single.

Because of the migration reasons, they rarely farm for food.

Like the Cook Tribe, while they don't leave the San Francisco area, they don't stay in one place for too long, and they move from place to place.

It's just that the tribe won't leave the San Francisco area.

In this way, it is impossible for them to farm at all.

They also do this so that there is no longer a place, and excessive hunting is considered to give wild animals a chance to recuperate.

They still know the truth of killing chickens and taking eggs.

But even so, most of the people of the Cook tribe still don't have enough to eat.

Because there are many large and small tribes in the vicinity, everyone lives by hunting for food.

But San Francisco is so big that as the population increases, the prey seems to be a little overwhelmed.

And in order to get plenty of prey, war is inevitable.

At the same time, in addition to defeating other tribes, occupying a larger territory and gaining hunting rights. It can also effectively wipe out some populations.

Especially the population of hostile tribes.

When the population is smaller, the demand for food will also decrease, which is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

In this way, the outbreak of war and the subsequent involvement of all the tribes in the San Francisco area.

Unlike the Iroquois Confederation, the Indian tribes in the San Francisco area were largely on their own.

They did not unite and deal with a powerful enemy together.

Speaking of which, the various tribes are full of complex grievances.

It's just decades for you, and you've hunted three pheasants in my hunting territory. This is disrespectful and provocative to me.

Or maybe it's something like that when your father seriously injured my brother in a tribal conflict more than a hundred years ago.

The Indians take the grievance seriously, even after hundreds of years, they will not forget it, as long as there is an adult warrior and a man in the tribe, then the grievance will be passed on.

Because of such complex grievances, it is not surprising that the various tribes are fighting each other.

At least, there has not yet been a large tribe capable of uniting other tribes.

However, the disadvantages of fighting separately. After some time of the war in this area, it began to manifest itself.

First, some medium-sized tribes began to attack small tribes, some of which had only a few dozen adult male warriors. Therefore, it is simply impossible to be an opponent.

Even if they fought very bravely, it was impossible to avoid defeat and the destruction of the tribe in the end.

In primitive wars, the number of people is the most decisive difference between victory and defeat in absolute wars.

There's no way around it.

Time. Countless small tribes have disappeared into the history of the Americas.

The tribe where the eagle belongs is a little larger than the smaller tribe. But a little smaller than medium-sized tribes.

The tribe gritted its teeth and was able to produce more than three hundred adult warriors.

However, as the war progressed, the Cook tribe is now facing a crisis.

Because, a large tribe, has set its sights on this hunting area of the Cook tribe.

The camp of the Cook Tribe, near the seashore of San Francisco Bay, not far from the plains.

Because of their proximity to the sea and forests, the Cook tribe was able to obtain some food, and they were far from the hinterland of the plains and did not have much conflict with most of the tribes.

This is also the reason why they have only been targeted until now in the war.

In the early days of the war, many small tribes living in the hinterland of the plains were wiped out in the first time.

If the Cook tribe had lived there, they wouldn't have survived to this day.

Nowadays, the large tribes living in the hinterland of the steppe have begun to wage war against the tribes in the surrounding area after clearing the small tribes, and the medium-sized tribes are also desperate to avoid conflict with the large tribes and start looking for new territory.

In this way, some tribes were forced to migrate eastward, while others moved westward.

In this way, the Cook tribe, which was originally indisputable, inevitably clashed with the migrating tribes.

In fact, the Indians are very hospitable, as long as the other party is not malicious, then for the migrating tribe, half of them will entertain and give some help.

It's just that the migrants encountered by the Cook tribe are a medium-sized tribe that has been defeated by the big tribe, and they are ready to kill the Cook tribe as soon as they come here, and then recuperate here.

At that time, the Cook tribe sent people with dozens of fatty fresh fish to the tribe called 'Tanmo', ready to offer greetings and ask if they needed help.

But no one could have imagined that the warrior sent was actually killed by the other party.

One of the Cook warriors who had gone with him fled and told the elders and his people what had happened.

It turned out that the other party had a conversation with the warriors of the Cook tribe, and when they heard that the Cook tribe had only 300 warriors, they had bad thoughts.

In the face of a tribe as small as the Cooks, this medium-sized tribe has a thousand warriors.

Therefore, the extermination of the Cook tribe and the occupation of this area became the idea of all the people of the Tanmo tribe.

In their opinion, the area should be their own, as should the streams and animals, as well as the mushrooms in the forest.

The Cook tribe does not have such qualifications.

At the same time, it is far from the hinterland of the steppe. The warring tribes don't care about this place at all.

They don't like the seaside, and only see the abundant pastures and lakes and wild horses and elk.

Those are only found in the hinterland of the early steppe, and not here by the sea in the west.

Having made up their minds, they killed the Cook warriors on the spot, and then rallied the warriors of the tribe to the Cook camp.

There were eight warriors sent by the Cook tribe to place the Tanmo tribe.

Seven of them died in the Tanmo camp, and only one guy escaped by relieving himself in the grass because of a stomachache.

When the Cook listened to the story of the surviving warrior, they reacted immediately.

Valliant Indian warriors. Won't be afraid to fight.

The factor of battle has entered the bones of the Indians.

Therefore, the Cook tribe immediately gathered three hundred and twenty-six warriors and went to ambush the other party's inevitable path.

So far, the Cook and the Tanmo have fought dozens of times in this area, and each time the Tanmo have not taken any advantage.

Of course, the Cook is not without losses.

At least seventy or eighty people died in these clashes.

such a number of losses. It hurts the Cook people so much.

The losses of Tanmo were even greater, with more than 400 people killed in the ambush by the Cooks.

After more than a dozen conflicts, the two sides have become mortal enemies, and the contradictions are irreconcilable.

Only one tribe was wiped out. to be able to end.

Who made the Tanmo tribe so greedy as to do that kind of thing?

You must know that killing an external warrior with good intentions is a naked insult.

Native American. For those who insult themselves, what can be done is to kill the other person so that they can get back face.

Otherwise. He can't hold his head up for the rest of his life, and no one will look up to him.

The same is true for the entire tribe.

Fortunately, during this time, everyone began to recuperate, and temporarily stopped the non-stop attacks on each other.

So, there was a very strange and brief calm on both sides.

Because of the conflict, the Cook tribe has not hunted for a long time in order to cope with the attack of Tanmo.

As a result, food shortages have begun in the tribes.

As for whether this is the case for Tan Mo, they don't know what to say.

Therefore, when Zhao Hongyu proposed that they could provide food, the eagle was really moved.

Food!

With food, you don't have to go hungry!

Moreover, with food, they can deal with the Tanmo with all their hearts.

At the same time, the other side also put forward a joint proposal.

The current Cook tribe, after the conflict with the Tanmo tribe, has lost a lot of manpower.

Although they were determined to fight to the end, the rival Tanmo tribe was outnumbered by the Cook tribe and had hundreds more warriors.

Wait until the other party has finished resting and getting used to the regional environment here.

By that time, the end for the Cook tribe would certainly not have been so good.

It is important to know that the Tanmo tribe came to the sea from the plains, and they are not very familiar with and accustomed to the environment here.

Therefore, how can it be compared to the Cook people, who are accustomed to the environment of this region.

So, every time a battle takes place in the jungle, the warriors of the Tanmo tribe will feel powerless.

On the contrary, the warriors of the Cook tribe have the advantage of being familiar with the land and environment.

However, all this, as the Tanmo tribe slowly gets acquainted with it here, their advantage will no longer exist.

The Eagles have been worried about this.

If they could really unite with these strangers, the Tanmo tribe would have nothing to fear.

The stranger said they had tens of thousands of warriors. (To be continued......)
