Chapter 59: Samara's Decision

The elders of Mohican originally came to Manhattan Island only for the sake of the black bear's face. They weren't interested in that so-called 'drill' at all.

Mainly what the black bear said, Zhao Hongyu will provide everyone with a free lunch after watching the drill, so that they came here.

However, after watching the drill, the original disdain of these Mohican elders was completely and completely changed.

Aren't the same arquebuses used by the Black Hitomi's warriors?

That's right, an arquebus!

I really didn't expect that the arquebus could still be used like this.

Well, it seems that this weapon is indeed very powerful.

What did you see in this exercise?

I didn't see anything in your words, but I knew that this tribe called 'Zhao' was very powerful. Although only a few hundred tribesmen have been sent to help him, I have seen the strength of their tribe.

That's all you can see, and what I see is that he's demonstrating against us, showing off how powerful they are.

The elders whispered to each other.

Zhao Hongyu ignored the reactions of these people, because it was all expected by him.

Instead, he whispered to Wang Shan and asked him to prepare lunch immediately. Then after letting Song Hu take over the team, he walked in front of Elder Mohican.

"Five-stage shooting, this is a more powerful way of fighting than the whites. Combined with hand-to-hand combat, white people will no longer look so terrible. ”

After walking in front of Elder Mohican, Zhao Hongyu said loudly to them calmly.

These Moxican elders nodded one after another, and they all thought that Zhao Hongyu's words were true.

They watched the whole performance and were deeply touched by this.

Under the five-stage burst of fire, the wooden target that was used as a target was shot with holes.

This is still when the arquebus is really low, and the accuracy of the shot is such a hit.

A crackling gunshot rang out, like a thunderbolt in dry land.

If this is on the battlefield, and the two armies have not yet fought, the blow to the morale of the army can be imagined.

Especially with such a weapon, before you can charge in front of the enemy, it is very likely that half of the enemy's vitality will be wiped out. In this way, how can the war be fought.

What's more, Zhao Hongyu showed another way of warfare, as well as a new method of using arquebuses, the 'five-stage burst fire' mode, which brought them too much shock.

This five-stage burst of fire allows soldiers to shoot at the enemy in a continuous stream without pausing for a moment.

This is the most terrifying.

Originally, as an arquebusier, it took a long time to clean the barrel, reload the gunpowder, braze the ammunition, and compact the ammunition and then aim.

The skilled and elite arquebusiers in Europe in this era could only shoot a shot for more than a minute.

The Mohicans were not without conflict with the Europeans, so they were somewhat familiar with this kind of European weaponry.

In fact, in the Moxie dry estate, there were also twenty or thirty arquebuses traded from white people.

However, after the Mohicans used it, they felt that this weapon was not as good as the bows and arrows in their hands, so they gave up using the arquebus.

This was not the 18th century after the transformation of arquebuses, which in the 18th century were more sophisticated, faster and more convenient to use.

So, even the Indians used arquebuses.

However, this is 1620, after all, and arquebuses are still in a very old category. …,

However, Zhao Hongyu changed all this, and he actually 'invented' the combat method of five-stage shooting, which can be regarded as completely changing the trend of history.

"Black Bear, if you lead the warriors of Mohican, will you be able to win the battle against these warriors of the Black Pupil?"

The old chieftain, Samara, was also invited to Manhattan Island to watch Zhao Hongyu's tribal warrior drill.

After reading it, Samara whispered a question to the black bear following him.

The black bear thought for a moment and replied, "The frontal battle is absolutely annihilated, because I can't rush in front of them, this kind of five-stage burst is too sharp." The black bear told the truth, and Samara fell silent after hearing this, not knowing what he was thinking at this moment.

"But if I were to fight them, I wouldn't be going to fight them head-on. I will harass the enemy with dense forests, swamps, grass, and ambushes. Try to use our strengths so that they can't show the advantages of the arquebus. ”

The black bear also thought about this question at this time, and he asked himself if there was no way to fight such a warrior head-on. Because it is tantamount to suicide, and he is not a fool.

However, the arquebus tribes with a five-stage burst fire pattern are extremely sharp, but they are not without weaknesses.

First of all, the arquebus is a long-range weapon, and once approached by the enemy, the arquebus is useless. So if you want to defeat such enemies, then you have to figure out how to get close to them.

However, the enemy is not so easily accessible, so what should be done?

In this world, I am not afraid that you will think about it, but I am afraid that you will not think about it.

The black bear could see that this five-stage burst had his weaknesses.

That is, it is necessary to line up neatly in order to show this pattern of five-stage bursts and continue smoothly.

But in this way, his weakness was completely exposed.

If such a team encounters a sudden attack, or is in ambush. In such a case, it is likely that there is no way to arrange them in a short period of time.

And this will give the attacker a good chance to defeat them.

However, the black bear is not going to say too clearly, just vaguely. He did this because he didn't want Samara to understand the Tao too clearly.

"Even though they have weaknesses, they are still strong. I think we have to get along better with Black Hitomi so that we don't have a conflict between us. ”

Samara already had a strong sense of crisis in his heart at this time.

Yes, it didn't matter anything when Zhao Hongyu was weak. At that time, Samara didn't think about it so much, so Zhao Hongyu easily took ownership of Manhattan Island.

If Zhao Hongyu had such a team at that time, Samara would not have given Manhattan Island to Zhao Hongyu if he was killed.

However, I never thought that it was only a few months before Zhao Hongyu actually established a small tribe on Manhattan Island in the east of Moxican.

Although Zhao Hongyu's tribe was less than a thousand slaves, it was still very weak compared to the Moxi tribe with a population of 10,000, but it shocked Samara.

A tribe of less than a thousand people is not too small strictly speaking.

After crossing the Akalaki Mountains on the western side of Mohican, small tribes of less than a thousand people abound on the road to the Great Plains of the West.

Even around the Moxigan tribe, there are small tribes like this.

In particular, Zhao Hongyu's tribe is different from other tribes, and the warriors under his command are very proficient in combat, and at the same time, they are also proficient in the weapons of white people, which makes people shudder. …,

Samara already felt that Zhao Hongyu was no longer so weak.

Now if you want to clash with Zhao Hongyu, you can't bargain for anything as powerful as Moxi's dry tribe.

It was with this in mind that Samara said something like that to the black bear.

"Aren't we getting along well with Black Hitomi, and the cooperative trade is also going very well? Why does the chief have to say that? After hearing Samara's words, the black bear's heart sank.

He secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, the black pupil said it, it seems that his growth has made the leader feel in crisis.

It turned out that before Zhao Hongyu wanted to perform, he told the black bear about it.

And Zhao Hongyu also analyzed the benefits and disadvantages of the black bear, which can be brought by the exercise.

Among them, there are psychological changes that may cause the Mohican executives after the drill.

Originally, he didn't believe in these black bears, but now he had to believe these things that Zhao Hongyu had said to himself.

Samara didn't know what the black bear was thinking now, he looked at the Manhattan Island escort team that left under the leadership of Song Hu with shining eyes, and said to the black bear: "With the arrival of the tribesmen, the power of the black pupil has grown. This rapid growth made some people in the tribe very panicked, and even I was a little scared. After all, it's never a good thing to have such a powerful tribe around you. ”

Samara spoke out what was on her mind and that of others at the moment.

The black bear was silent on his face, but he was very disdainful in his heart.

"Chief, whether the black pupil is strong or not, he is our friend. The stronger he is, the better it will be for us, and if it doesn't work, I'll just form an alliance, and I don't think the people will object to such a strong ally. ”

Black Bear is now completely on Zhao Hongyu's side, but he still has to stay in the Moxi dry tribe and use this identity to do something.

If it weren't for the fact that such a thing needed him to do, the black bear would have left Moxican a long time ago to join Zhao Hongyu's small tribe.

"Alliance? This can be considered, but the meaning of the elders also needs to be taken into account, but I don't know if they think so. ”

After listening to the black bear's reminder, Samara nodded slightly in response.

At this time, Wang Shan walked over: "Respected Samara Chief, the leader of our tribe, Hei Tong, sincerely invites you to have lunch with the elders of the Moxi tribe. ”

Not far away, some of the old and weak slaves left on Manhattan Island spread thick animal fur mats on the ground, and at the same time kept putting out the prepared food.

Samara bowed his head and said, "Thank you so much." ”
