Chapter 13: The First Battle
The tribe had a population of only a few hundred, and judging by the warriors they went out hunting and roving, there should have been only about 100 Indians who could pull them out to fight, which, of course, is a conservative estimate. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The militia had no access to the Indian tribes, and only estimated the numbers based on the number of people they traveled.
Another advantage of Zhao Dutian's choice of this tribe as a target is that within a radius of 100 miles, as long as this small Indian tribe is eliminated, all the prey resources will be his own!
It will take at least 3 months for the first batch of ripe food to be available in the farmland, so hunting, fishing, and fruit picking have been the main sources of Zhao Dutian's maintenance of his own consumption in the recent past!
After the mill was built, Zhao Dutian reclaimed thousands of acres of land around this big windmill to grow wheat!
He doesn't need to think about foreign trade now, what he needs is a lot of food to fill his stomachs and expand the population!
Normally, this land is very fertile, even if there is no chemical fertilizer, just rely on human manure to fertilize, and there is at least 150 catties of yield per acre of land!
If one person is full, he needs about 1 pound of wheat a day, so the yield of one acre of land can support at least 2 people until the next season's harvest!
Hehe, the villagers under Zhao Dutian's command don't need to pay enough food to eat!
Thousands of acres of land are enough for Zhao Dutian to feed nearly a thousand people, most of whom are soldiers who consume more food!
The farmland only needs a large number of villager labor when it is initially cultivated and harvested, and only needs a small number of villagers to maintain it at other times, as long as Zhao Dutian persists until the first harvest, he can rest assured that he can expand!
Zhao Dutian looked at the center of the town surrounded by farmland, and finally had his hands free to lead the troops to the battle!
12 militia and 88 swordsmen, followed Zhao Dutian, who was wearing chain mail made with a huge amount of gold points, wearing an iron helmet, and holding a long knife made of a hundred refined iron, and marched towards that small Indian tribe!
Zhao Dutian's equipment is definitely a luxury for him now!
The price of this armament alone was enough for him to recruit several more squads of swordsmen......
Well, Zhao Du Tianding, a team of 10 people!
In terms of his own safety, he is really willing to pay for it!
Of course, apart from his own luxurious armament, what did the other soldiers look like when they left the barracks, and what they still look like now......
The cost of that set of equipment is dozens of times the cost of recruiting that soldier, Zhao Dutian obviously won't change them all with brains, and he doesn't have so many gold resources to toss......
A set of chain mail is hundreds of gold points, and Zhao Dutian can't afford it!
Hey, if only there were iron ore......
This Indian tribe not far from Zhao Dutian is actually a branch tribe of the Mojavey, many small Indian tribes on the American continent were separated from the big tribes before, and the primitive survival form made it difficult for the Indians to carry out effective unified management, so it is not uncommon for the people below to split out!
Many Indian tribes were hostile to each other, but their customs and language were exactly the same, and this phenomenon was the result!
Compared with the Indians in South America who formed a unified Inca Empire and the Aztec Empire, the North American Indians who were scattered were too weak, and of course, this phenomenon of scattered sand also allowed the North American Indian groups to survive more!
The Indian Empire in South America as a whole fought against the Spanish and Portuguese invaders, naturally with both glory and loss, and the resistance was extremely fierce, and after the defeat, the Spanish who were vengeful carried out a tragic genocidal policy!
The Indian tribes in North America are hostile to each other, and many tribes cooperate very happily with the whites, so naturally, they keep the fire of their tribes, and until the 21st century, there are still many Indian groups in the United States!
After all, Zhao Dutian's militia was not a professional scout, and the news of the investigation was different, and the result was that when Zhao Dutian arrived in front of this Indian tribe with an 'army' of 100 people, Zhao Dutian was greeted by an 'army' composed of more than 300 Indian soldiers!
Zhao Dutian looked at the Indian warriors on the opposite side who were scattered in formation, but with fierce eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he gave up the meaning of communicating with the other side, and put on this posture first, as long as the Indians on the opposite side were not fools, the war was absolutely inevitable......
Zhao Dutian glared at the militiamen who reported the news fiercely, if it weren't for the need for them to go to the battlefield for a while, Zhao Dutian would have to hang up these fools who misjudged the enemy's strength and smoke him for three days and three nights!
The weapons of this Indian tribe warrior were far inferior to those of the Kokopa, who were armed with iron tools, many of them carried javelins and spears made of stone, and many of them were backward ropes for throwing stones, and only a few strong Indian warriors were armed with iron battle axes and one-handed swords!
It seems, can you still fight?
Zhao Dutian gave an order, and the swordsmen lined up in two rows shoulder to shoulder, and the militia supplemented him, and rushed forward with Zhao Dutian, who was full of security in chain mail!
The Indian warriors screamed and screamed, and the Indian warriors with the slinging ropes first threw dozens of stone bullets of different sizes, which were no lethal to the heavily armed Zhao Dutian!
But for the swordsmen and militia who didn't even have a helmet, they caused no small injuries!
Before many swordsmen could block with wooden shields, they were smashed on the head by stone bullets and screamed, and Zhao Dutian even saw a touch of fear in the eyes of his own swordsmen!
Your sister, that morale is really right, these swordsmen look very brave, and they will reveal their prototypes when they go to the battlefield!
However, under the leadership of Zhao Dutian, none of those swordsmen and militia retreated, and they still rushed to the eyes of the Indians with stones!
Zhao Dutian held a long-handled broadsword in both hands, completely ignoring his own defense, and swept suddenly, and the Indian warrior in front of him, who was wearing nothing but 'muscle armor', was directly cut into two pieces!
A pile of cyan intestines was scattered on the ground with steam, and the Indian warrior was not dead for a while, half of his body was lying on the ground screaming vigorously, which greatly damaged the morale of the Indians!
Several Indian soldiers saw the opportunity to slash their weapons on Zhao Dutian's body, Zhao Dutian stumbled, and the weapons on his body were completely bounced off by the high-grade chain mail, and those iron weapons and even stone spears that had been used for an unknown amount of time could not break Zhao Dutian's defense at all!
All of a sudden, Zhao Dutian was like a killing god, and single-handedly rushed into the group of Indian warriors!
The swordsman behind him saw that his boss was so powerful, and his morale rebounded slightly!
