Chapter 609 Sending troops to New York
"Hey, it's not right... Didn't Albert be on the island of Americo? How did the Indians hurt him? Did the Indians attack the island of Americo in a canoe?" Marin asked in confusion.
Albert's servant Welch quickly explained:
"Grand Duke, that's it. Didn't you ask Prince Albert to buy Manhattan Island before?"
"Yes, that's the case. Could it be that Albert was injured on Manhattan Island?"
Welch nodded and said:
"Yes, after Prince Albert bought Manhattan Island, he built a trading market on the island to trade with the Indians. The local Delavas were very friendly to us, so Prince Albert went to inspect the trade market this time. However, suddenly, a batch of canoes came from the upper reaches of the Hudson River, and about hundreds of native Indian robbers ransacked the trade market and shot Prince Albert..."
Marin frowned and said:
"You can't beat hundreds of natives? What's the matter?"
Welch said with a grievance:
"We are not prepared, Grand Duke! You know, our mesh gun, in the absence of combat, is not ignited. The native robbers came in a canoe, and we thought they were coming to trade at first. Unexpectedly, they were coming to rob. When our soldiers lit the fuse and were ready, they had already robbed supplies and fled on the canoe..."
Marin was speechless. Indeed, the Delava people were very friendly in trading markets. The soldiers under their command were full and needed to light the fuse? This is not good for the fuse gun. The fuse needs to be ignited before the battle. There is no lighter now, so it cannot be ignited immediately. You have to ignite the fuse first. When the fire is ignited, then ignite the fuse... This set will take a long time...
This time, the Indian native robbers were trying to grab goods, especially staring at salt and metal tools. They ran away after robbing, and before they could show their power, they ran away. Moreover, the arrow shot at Albert on his side before leaving, actually hit Albert, which was a coincidence...
Fortunately, those Indian native robbers did not have metal arrows, and the arrows that hit Albert were made of hardwood. Otherwise, Albert would have been lying in the cemetery now...
Speaking of this, Old Hoffman was full of fire:
"Damn it, a mere barbarian, dares to hurt my son! Marin, I want you to send troops to destroy that Indian tribe!"
Marin nodded and continued to ask Welch:
"Did you find out which tribe did it?"
"It's clear that it's a tribe called Wild Wolf, not the Delavas, but the Mohigans who live in the upper reaches of the Hudson River..."
"Moshigan people..." Marin touched the mustache on her chin, and suddenly Xiaobei's Moshigan hairstyle appeared in her mind...
When I was in middle school in my last life, Beckham got the whole hairstyle, and there were many fans of this guy. In order to gain the attention of those fans like Beckham, many young people followed the trend to get this hairstyle. Of course, people with ugly people cannot blame their hairstyle. Beckham made Mohikan hairstyle very handsome, but imitators made it, that would be funny...
In fact, the Mohikan hairstyle is not the Mohikan hairstyle, but the popular hairstyle of another Indian tribe Mohawk. However, Xiao Bei is not well-educated and thought it was the Mohikan hairstyle. His fans also spread rumors and regarded it as the Mohikan hairstyle. Then, they made the mistake...
"Are they strong?" asked Marin.
"I heard from the Delava people that this tribe is also a very powerful tribe among the Mohigans, with four or five hundred soldiers. Although it is not very combative, it is very familiar with jungle combat and is good at hiding behind trees and firing cold arrows. It is more difficult to deal with. If you live in a plain with few trees, the army of the two islands alone will be enough to pacify them."
"How is Albert's injury?" Marin had long guessed that Albert should be fine. Otherwise, Welch's face would not be that calm. But Marin still wanted to confirm.
"It's nothing serious. The main reason is that the alcohol and golden sore medicine you provided are very effective in treating injuries. Prince Albert was not infected, so he recovered."
"Well, that's good. After you go back, you tell Albert to let him wear at least a chest armor and helmet when he meets the Indians, so as not to have an accident!"
If Albert was as cautious as Marin this time, he would wear chest armor and helmet when he went out, even if he was shot, he would be blocked by chest armor. After all, the indigenous bows and arrows were weak and it was difficult to shoot through chest armor. Unfortunately, Albert, like Marin, is a delicate civil servant and does not like to wear plate armor. Because that is too heavy.
Although they are not strong enough, Marin is much more cautious. He has died once and cherishes his life very much. Therefore, when he goes out to public, Marin usually wears breast plate armor to avoid accidents. Albert has never experienced the sinisterness of the world and is not very cautious. In addition, the Delavas are indeed friendly, so he does not wear breast plate armor (actually he is afraid of the weight of the plate armor). Unexpectedly, something happened to happen...
In addition, although there is an army of one or two hundred people on the two islands of North America, the combat effectiveness of these people is similar to that of militia. If they are facing the Indian natives on the plains, they may still win. However, many of the Wild Wolf tribes will not fight with you in a dignified manner. They will play hide-and-seek with you while using the terrain to engage in guerrilla warfare.
In this way, even if the firepower is superior and if you don’t know how to fight in the jungle, it will be useless.
Coincidentally, Marin just recruited a group of hunters from the Black Forest...
So Marin ordered:
"Let me do this, I will send dozens of Black Forest Hunters and 1,000 soldiers to accompany them to revenge the Mohigan tribe. With these hunters familiar with the forest leading the way, I believe it is enough to chase the wild wolf tribe..."
Experienced hunters are not only good at tracking, but also able to distinguish traps and avoid the enemy's hunting traps in the army. With them leading the way, the team will be much safer.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! But Old Hoffman shook his head and said:
"You also need to bring a few Alsace wolf dogs over. The dog's nose is so good that it's convenient for people to find them!"
Old Hoffman has seen Marin's men raising Alsace wolfdogs and conducting tracking training. The dog has a sharp nose and strong ears and hearing. The old hunter is actually better at finding enemies and traps based on footprints and appearance. The most important thing is to find traps.
However, if the enemy is ambushed in the forest, the old hunter may not be able to detect it. After all, the natives who have been hiding in the primitive jungle for many years do not know how to disguise and hide. Hunters also need to infer based on clues to find enemies and prey, and they cannot see all directions. Therefore, the old hunter is also prone to ambushing.
But dogs are different. They can detect whether there are hidden enemies nearby through smells and sounds. If they are discovered, they can issue an alarm.
However, the dog's brain is not that smart, and it may not be able to detect the traps set up by the enemy. After all, with the dog's IQ, it is difficult to understand the traps.
Discovering traps is the specialty of experienced forest hunters. Therefore, combining old hunters who are good at discovering traps with clues and dogs who are good at detecting whether there are enemies nearby is a perfect combination.
With old hunters here, the trap cannot play a role. With wolf dogs here, it is difficult to ambush the scene. Therefore, in later generations, police used police dogs a lot, and the army also used military dogs a lot. Because the dog's search and discovery ability is really strong. Except for the fact that the IQ is not enough to understand clever traps, it is difficult to overcome, others are even better than humans...
A group of old hunters took a few Alsace wolfdogs who had been searched and trained to explore the way in front, followed by hundreds of musketeers and hundreds of sword and shield soldiers who covered the musketeers. The wild wolf tribe with only a few hundred warriors did not fail, which was really difficult...
