Thank you Li Luan for the first reward of 500 starting coins, and add a new chapter today!

Zhao Dutian frowned slightly and asked, "Did the Yuma people explain the reason why they didn't need leather armor?" ”

"The specific reason for this is that the Yuma elders didn't go into detail with me, but I heard in the Yuma tribe that those Yuma warriors often complain that the Kokopa people have been equipped with a large number of iron cold weapons, and they have killed many excellent warriors!"

Dumb replied respectfully. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Dutian realized a serious problem, the Western colonizers had begun to encroach on this Indian settlement!

I am afraid that in a few years, a large number of Western colonists will enter this rich land in full swing under the guidance of the leading party of the Indian allies, and there is not much time left for him!

At this moment, Zhao Dutian remembered the first time he traded with the Yuma Elders, and he told him that the Harchi Domas were guarding a surface gold mine!

It doesn't seem to be too far from your lair!

I can't wait any longer, I must develop my power as soon as possible, open up my authority, and strive for a large number of technology points, obviously, in the last experience of destroying Indian tribes, war was the clear way to obtain technology points!

"Dumb, the Cocopa people are closer to the Spaniards, aren't they?"

Zhao Dutian stared at Dumb's eyes and asked.

"Yes, the closest white colonists to us are the Spaniards, but I heard that there are still a group of white people in the East called the French, but their population does not seem to be too large, and they have no intention of expanding to us!"

Hey, this dumb businessman did a good job, and even found out this kind of news.

After Zhao Dutian learned about the Yuma War, he began to pay attention to the sales of his new goods.

"How is our white bread selling, do the Yuma people like to eat it?"

A smile resurfaced on Dumb's face: "Lord Lord, the Yuma people have never eaten such delicious food, but they prefer salted food, and the Yuma people are not too rich, and they are not worried about famine, and only a small amount of high-ranking Yuma elders will buy white bread, and they can't sell it to them in large quantities!"

The Yuma elders once hinted to me that what they need most now is iron weapons, and they no longer need hammers and dung forks that are not easy to use in battle, tool axes are okay, but they need finished products even more, such as the one-handed swords used by our swordsman team, which the Yuma people are willing to pay a high price for!

Of course, they are strict about the quality of their weapons......"

"Okay, I see, you go down first." Zhao Dutian didn't say much, and directly dismissed Dumb.

How could he not have known how valuable iron weapons were among the Indian tribes?

However, his iron weapon was only enough!

This is still in the absence of a war, if there is a war, the Han tribe without a source of iron ore will have a problem with its own weapon supply!

Gold Resources have fallen below triple digits after building an army of 700 men, but when the 1000 population limit is reached for the first time, the system rewards another tech point!

Zhao Dutian didn't have iron ore to build weapons, if he directly used gold resources to build weapons, the price would be too extravagant!

Zhao Dutian was willing to equip himself with a set of high-grade chain mail and a fine long-handled knife......

Don't look at the fact that he spent hundreds of gold resources to create such a set, in fact, the essence is just wrought iron, after the last battle, the chain mail and broadsword have been severely worn, even if the quality is high, fighting on the front line will not be able to withstand a few battles......

Zhao Dutian understood why in ancient history, most soldiers were equipped with leather armor, and no matter how rich the dynasty was, it couldn't afford this loss!

Until the advent of the steel armor!

The damage resistance rate of steel armor is quite high, and it is basically difficult to break in battle, but when steel armor was widely popularized, muskets and artillery had begun to run rampant in Europe......

It can be said that the emergence of steel armor has greatly promoted the progress of replacing muskets in various countries!

In the next few days, Zhao Dutian began to send spear-throwing warriors to explore the location of the Halchi Doma tribe provided by the Yuma, knowing that the other side could win all battles......

During the exploration, Zhao Dutian found a small Indian tribe of hundreds of people, and the number of such small Indian tribes is really numerous!

However, considering his extremely scarce gold resources, Zhao Dutian dispelled the intention of sending troops to conquer, the Indian warriors' sense of battle to defend their homeland is very firm, with the experience of the last battle, even if the size of the army has expanded several times and joined the long-range troops, Zhao Dutian does not have much confidence to crush the other party......

It is not difficult to defeat them, but they will inevitably increase a lot of losses, this kind of small tribe is often very poor, and there is not much gold resources to be looted after victory, and Zhao Dutian, who has just harvested farmland, has no shortage of food resources, if dozens of soldiers die, he will not be able to replenish it!

Five days after discovering this small Indian tribe, the spear-throwing warriors have finally found the traces of the Halchi Domians!

The information of the Yuma Elder is very accurate, and the location he tells is the location of the surface gold mines controlled by the Halchi Domas!

According to the spear-throwing warriors, most of the people stationed there were Halchi Domamar warriors, and there were a number of Indian slaves working there!

However, no inhabitants of the Halchi Domas were found, and none of the Halchi Doma women, the elderly, and the children's spear-throwing warriors were seen!

Obviously, the old lair of the Halchi Domas is not a short distance from there!

This information greatly encouraged Zhao Dutian!

Zhao Dutian, who suffered a loss, took turns to send several waves of spear-throwing warriors to repeatedly explore that area this time, and even aroused the vigilance of the Halchi Doma warriors!

It's just that the Halchi Domas seem to be very confident in their defensive force, and do not pay attention to those sneaky few spear-throwing warriors, the location of the gold mine is not a secret among the Indian tribe groups at all, and many Indian tribes are eager to go there, but they never dare to rob the Halchi Domas of the gold mines.

The Harchidomas rely on more than just a few hundred tribal warriors stationed in the gold mines!

The Yuma elders didn't tell Zhao Dutian that the main army of the Harchi Domas was not stationed on that gold mine!

In the eyes of the Halchi Domas, if there is really an eyeless Indian tribe to make trouble, it is enough to directly send troops to destroy him, and it is a big deal to lose a few days of gold sand income, the Halchi Domians, who occupy the gold mine all year round, have long reserved enough gold and dog's head gold, and the warriors of the entire tribe have long been equipped with iron weapons!

If it weren't for the whites controlling the inflow of iron armor, the Halchi Domas would have been even stronger!

Zhao Dutian had no idea how powerful the Halqi Domas he provoked were!
