Chapter 98: The Battle of Lake Superior (1)

After all, the European countries are the most powerful forces of our time, and once they get serious, the power they exert is very huge. This inhumane banditry of ten tribes, including the God of War tribe, has completely angered the British and French who have sacked their colonies. It's no wonder who you say, you rob if you say you, and you also slaughter, rape, and burn the town, and every colonial town they patronize has nothing left.

The British and French colonial governments counted that in just half a month, the robbers had caused them a total of two million pounds in property damage, some of which were destroyed buildings. Moreover, there is a total of 35,000 people in population loss. Fortunately, there was no immediate news from the locals, otherwise the two colonial officials, from the governor to the scribe, would have to resign. For the sake of their own black hats, they must also kill all these robbers before the news reaches the mainland.

In this rare case, the British and the French began to fight together, with the British sending 30,000 troops and the French 25,000 troops. Together, there were 55,000 troops, more than three times the combined army of the ten bandit tribes. This time, they also had a rare display of regular-level combat power, stopping their actions before the tribal bandit coalition divided into three teams looted the next town.

The bandit coalition is not actually powerless, they are equipped with the latest equipment of the British army after the refurbishment of the Yanhuang Trading Company, and these equipment can not be trained to open a huge gap. Coupled with the new gunpowder provided by the Yanhuang Trading Company, the combat effectiveness was no worse than that of the white army. However, this front and back attack is too dangerous. Moreover, each of these coalition forces has sacked more than three white settlements, and the previous life crisis has been resolved, and there is no barefoot spirit that is not afraid to wear shoes.

No way, the Indians did not have a systematic military-technical system. They don't know that if they retreat, they will lose their morale. And the coalition forces of the two countries, seeing that the robbers retreated, their morale soared. As soon as this rose and fell, the balance of victory began to tilt. If the difference in strength between the two sides is not particularly large, morale is the criterion for determining victory. After that, the bandits of the Three-Way Alliance tribe were not able to break through the white settlements again, nor could they grab anything.

Fortunately, because of the previous carpet looting, their supplies are quite sufficient. And because of the nomadic form of marching, there are no worries. In particular, they were running specifically to white settlements with bad roads, and for a while, they were not blocked by the white army. The white people are also constantly adjusting their strategies, and their performance is much better than before, and I don't know if they have been taught a bad lesson by the Yanhuang Trading Company, and their command and arrangement still have a bit of the company's style.

Ten tribes, which had no big picture and no map concept, were finally blocked in the middle of Lake Superior by this 55,000 white army. At this time, it was already the early summer of the following year. After months of attrition, these ten tribes have also fallen to the point of exhaustion. The looted materials, in addition to their own consumption, were replaced by them with bullets and shells. That's it, after a month, they won't have anything to use.

These ten tribes are not going to leave, they are ready to stay here and fight to the death with the whites. Shawlin saw an opportunity, and he could profit from it. First of all, the whites have drawn more than 50,000 troops to encircle and suppress the Indian bandits, and these more than 50,000 troops are now a week's journey from the nearest colonies of the two countries, and if the colonies are attacked now, there is no time to return to visit. That's a big opportunity.

After three months of training, the 7th Battalion, 8th Battalion, and 9th Battalion of the Escort have all completed their training, and the number of Escort Units has increased again. At the same time, the 120-mm heavy-fist Type II artillery was also officially installed in the troops. The 60-mm mortar was also manufactured by several engineers recruited by Zhao Menghai in the United States, and the first batch of fifteen test guns and 300 rounds of artillery shells have also been equipped with troops. It is entirely possible to send a part of the troops to grab a handful.

After so many things, Xiao Lin completely discarded that bit of shame. Throughout the history of the development of the world, every great emperor who left a name in history was inevitably used some despicable means when he first rose. Robbery is not good, but as long as it does not kill innocent people indiscriminately, it is not unacceptable. Shawlin had already talked about the last three towns in the hands of the Addams family and the Pandey family, and Apache, James, and Babu had already set off with two battle camps each.

And Xiao Lin has to plan the second benefit. Ten Indian tribes add up to 40,000 people. Warriors made up of men in the prime of life, accounting for half of the number. Moreover, these warriors, who have seen blood and have a ruthless heart, have a black hand on the white man, and they are rare people who do black work. Originally, according to Xiao Lin's perception, he didn't want these Indian soldiers who had no bottom line. Their ferocity has been completely unleashed, and they can't be locked up, and this kind of soldier can be said to be the worst soldier on the same level as the ruffian.

Once the killing rises, let alone restraint, all orders will not be obeyed. If you do too much to slaughter people and burn down the town, not only will you not be able to get a lot of benefits, but it will also create a very bad impression on other people, and it is not certain whether you will accept their rule in the future. However, there is a kind of person in this world who is called stubborn. And these fighters, against those who are stubborn, are the best. Even if these fighters are reluctant to join the company, then their families, wives and children, old fathers and mothers, are good laborers.

With a battalion, Shoren sneaked into the Lake Superior area. As their most relied on arms dealers, Shawlin would certainly not be attacked by them, but the whites would certainly attack them. Therefore, Xiao Lin asked the sentinel they caught to pass the word, and at night, he would secretly go in to visit. The white army's current defensive patrols are so strong that they can't spot the elite battalion of soldiers. Moreover, Xiao Lin only brought twenty elite personal guard soldiers, and easily avoided their eyes.

At this time, the ten patriarchs were already waiting for Xiao Lin's arrival in a small tent. The god of war is a smart man, and he guessed Xiao Lin's intention, and he was also thinking about whether to follow Xinlin's wishes. The others, on the other hand, are not so smart, but are still a little irritable because the god of war has to pull them over. After waiting for a while, before he could see Xiao Lin, someone began to gasp for breath, and it seemed that he would be angry at any moment.

"What kind of patriarch of the Yanhuang tribe is this, whether he will come or not. The war is about to start, and with so many things, who has time to waste time here with him. ”

"Tarim, you don't have to say a word, after all, people are so strong, they can still make guns. ”

"What's wrong with what he will make, anyway, this time he will die, Lao Tzu just thought about pulling a few more white people on his back before he died. ”

"Hey......"

After a few words, there was a dead silence in the tent. Not long after, one of the gods of war's subordinates led Xiao Lin in. This is a tribal patriarch, and he can't recognize Xiao Lin's official identity, and they all treat him as a clansman with great power. Ten people, whether they were really willing or not, stood up and greeted Xiao Lin.

"Welcome, welcome to Patriarch Shawlin. ”

"Oh, okay, you're welcome, let's get straight to the point. ”

"Ah, this, we don't know what Patriarch Xiao Lin came for at this time?"

"To tell you the truth, I know that your current situation is not good, and there will even be a danger of extinction, so this time, I am here to help you. ”

"What help? As far as I know, you don't seem to have tens of thousands of troops. I also admit that your army is strong, but not so strong that it is one against ten. ”

"To be honest, I admit you're right, but that doesn't mean I can't solve the game. Wouldn't it be of any help to you if the white army struck out my mighty army behind the back while the battle was in full swing? I know that it will cost you a little bit of strength, but it's better than all of them dead. Moreover, I can also prepare a new place for you to live, and I will provide you with food and accommodation in the future, and I will also provide you with new weapons. ”

"Oh, then I don't know, what price are we going to pay?"

"The Patriarch of the God of War is a smart man, and the price is that from now on, you will officially merge into the Yanhuang Trading Company and become my subordinates. ”

"Dream on us, we'd rather die than be your slaves. ”

Xiao Lin didn't expect that as soon as his request was spoken, except for the God of War, the other patriarchs clearly expressed their opposition. Before he could say the next words, these people were so angry that they didn't want to speak. Xiao Lin didn't talk nonsense, and got up and left directly. They don't want to accept his kindness, so he doesn't plan to put a hot face on his cold ass. However, before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by the god of war.

"Patriarch Xiao Lin, don't go so fast, I still have something to tell you. ”

"What does the God of War Patriarch want to say to me, do you want to continue to sarcastically mock me?"

"Of course not, those people are savages who don't have more than a brain, I hope you don't mind. I came to you to ask if you could help me rescue the old, young, women and children of the God of War tribe. ”

"Oh, I believe the God of War Patriarch knows the price of letting me strike, right?"

"Of course, I will make them all listen to you, and from now on, these people will be your people. ”

"God of War Patriarch, aren't you, going together?"

"The men of the God of War tribe have never been afraid of death, and, however, those women and children, old and young, have not participated in the massacre. They don't deserve to die, we, we'll stay here, buy you time, and leave everything to you. ”
