"A colonial town stronghold where all the people are soldiers......
If there were no external influences, how could the colonial strongholds of the British be so united? ”
Seeing that there were both men and women on the opposite side, after counting the militia, all the troops were almost equivalent to the total population of Edward's Town that he had heard from Felton, Luo Tianjie was no longer surprised.
Although the people in the British colony called Edward Town in front of him were unexpectedly united, in Luo Tianjie's eyes, they were nothing compared to those puppet soldiers who didn't know what life and death were.
It is true that living people with souls can do much more things than puppet tool people, but the rich self-emotions and survival instincts of intelligent creatures are destined to be impossible for them to show the momentum of not fearing death on the battlefield.
At least, it is impossible for everyone to be afraid of death!
If an army is really not afraid of death, as long as there is no superiority of several generations in weaponry and strength, it basically means that it is invincible.
Luo Tianjie's red regime in his previous life is an iron-like example, millet plus rifles are stunned to defeat the world hegemon with absolute superiority in artillery, tanks and aircraft!
You know, even the army of the red regime at that time did not really mean that everyone was not afraid of death.
Luo Tianjie and the Melville army on the opposite side stopped after taking a position, keeping a safe distance so as not to cause a 'misunderstanding'.
Melville didn't gather his army to defeat the native chieftains of the New World, and his memories told him that he would not be able to do it with his current strength alone, even if everyone died.
When Melville saw the stout and tall orc infantry in the distance, he was even more convinced of the speculation in his memory......
If the opposing native army had to attack, Melville would have fought and retreated, as it was not far from Edward's Town, and after retreating to Edward's Town, Melville was confident that he would be able to kill the enemy by street fighting.
Edward's Town is not an ordinary town, there are perfect fortifications such as moats and breastwalls on the periphery, and even if you enter the town, every street has formed barricades, and most of the houses in the town are made of wood and stone, and as the town government, they are all made of stone.
Stone-framed houses mean natural defensive nodes.
In addition, there are several offshore gunboats in the harbor on the other side of the town.
Enough to deliver a covered artillery strike to the enemy attacking the small town of Edward.
That's Melville's confidence!
Luo Tianjie called Felton and his group of hunters, and selected one of them to go to the army of Governor Melville to communicate, and the two armies each took a step back, and the two of them took a few ordinary retinues to meet and negotiate in a safe position in the center.
Luo Tianjie knew that there was a lack of trust between the two sides now, and the person on the other side was definitely unwilling to take risks in person.
And Luo Tianjie is even more unlikely to hand over his life.
As for Luo Tianjie's subordinates, they are all tool people with brains and wood, and it is really too difficult for them to do diplomatic work......
When the Spartan warriors chatted, they cherished words like gold, and always liked to shout the slogan 'Spartan', regardless of the occasion and object!
The orc infantry communicated with humans, except for facing Luo Tianjie, the master, they were all looking at the food in a tone, so they almost started directly......
The Tokugawa Iron Cannon Ashigaru seems to be the most normal tool man soldier, however, it is this normal tool man soldier who does not leave 'onboard' in three sentences!
There are not many words, and there will always be mixed in Luo Tianjie with this slogan!
Well, Luo Tianjie is the replacement for the original Tokugawa shogun of these Tokugawa iron cannon ashigaru.
Those townspeople work very neatly one by one, and communication is very painful, after all, there is no need to communicate with people in occupations such as construction workers, lumberjacks, miners, food collectors, etc.!
Luo Tianjie looked around him, except for Angela, who saw the head and tail of the dragon, there was no subordinate who could communicate normally.
The hunters who had been sent over, the inhabitants of Edward's Town, were soon approved by Melville.
As an aspiring colonial governor, Melville naturally had no shortage of common sense to co-opt and exploit the 'natives'.
The indigenous chief on the opposite side was so proactive, what reason did Melville have for refusal?
What's more, Edward's town is indeed underfed, and other resources are easy to say, and eating has always been a big problem.
Because when the fleet of the mother country came over, the main goods carried were not food, at most they brought some specialties from the mother country to the big guy to reminisce about some of the old days.
The home country's fleet provided mainly young immigrants (both men and women), supported troops (mainly mercenaries and marginalized regular officers and soldiers), and even various military supplies.
This is why Melville, knowing the risks involved in the New World, still had to send out the townspeople to form hunting parties.
If it weren't for the town's proximity to the sea, which could rely on a large number of sea fish to fill its stomach, the small town of Edward, with a population of about 2,000, would not be long before it faced a famine crisis.
Melville knew very well that if he couldn't defeat the native armies of the New World in a field battle, the other side would not have to storm Edward's town at all, but only need to surround it, destroy the fields and set fire to them before harvesting their produce, and Edward's town would make most people hungry even if they relied on sea fish!
Now Luo Tianjie took the initiative to provide the required resources, which can be said to be in Melville's favor.
Melville took his two retinues and the clerk, touched the handmade flintlock handcuff on his waist, and under the traction of his entourage, rode a high-headed white horse to the position designated by Luo Tianjie.
Prior to this, Luo Tianjie and Melville's armies had retreated two miles to the back.
As for Luo Tianjie, he brought a Spartan warrior, and the other was Felton, the temporary captain of the captured hunter team.
Felton was only a civilian in Edward's Town, but was known as a brave warrior in Edward's Town.
The temporary captains of the Hunter Squad are all elected by the public.
Felton didn't understand why the indigenous leader Luo Tianjie brought him over, and Luo Tianjie didn't bother to explain it to him.
When Melville saw Luo Tianjie, who looked very different from him (he was of yellow Asian descent, Melville was of white British race), he looked at it curiously.
Great Britain in the Age of Empires space did not invade so-called Asia, at least not in Melville's memory, and naturally there would be no memory of what the Asian yellow race looked like.
Melville, who saw Luo Tianjie's appearance, the first thought that rose in his heart was: The appearance of the natives of this New World is so different from ours, I am afraid that I will not be able to arrange my own people to be spies.
