The Rise of Iceland

Champlain didn’t think his fifty French soldiers and 120 Huron warriors plus the 100 soldiers Hadar brought could withstand the seven, eight, or even thousands of Iroquois fighters. He watched him coldly. After the deployment of Dar's soldiers, he approached Francis and ordered him to lead the army to protect himself from a temporary evacuation.

At this time, Champlain was ready to give up Hadar, who was looking for death. After all, Champlain had fought with the Iroquois for many years. He felt that these indigenous people were not afraid of death, and no more than half of the regular army was absolutely unable to defeat them. He remembered the Iroquois. The legs that he had suffered from arrow injuries a few years ago seemed to faintly hurt again, which made his mood drop to a freezing point.

Francis was attracted by Hadar’s confidence and Viking soldiers’ execution. He was not obedient to Champlain’s words. At this time, he raised his eyebrows and said: "If the governor is afraid, please leave first! Now I want to Fight side by side with City Lord Hadar to expand the territory of New France!"

After speaking, Francis also sent two French guards to guard Champlain, and then he led the remaining 168 soldiers to the **** on the northeast side of the fort near 200 steps, and ordered people to form a circle and wait for Yi Roquois.

When Hadar and Hudick saw Francis’ arrangement, Olaf also guessed that Francis’ intention was to antagonize each other with the Viking soldiers occupying the fortress, and then assist in covering the fortress. Francis chose the right distance and position. He won't let himself be at the forefront, and at the same time he can help Hadar.

"It's worthy of being an officer from the French royal family. He must have received systematic military education." Hadar gave a light praise, then looked to the southeast and shouted: "Guys, raise your attention! The Iroquois fighters are about to Arrived!"

　　 A group of men in leather jackets with white cloth straps on their heads rushed out from the woods in the southeast direction, gushing like a tide.

　　 The Iroquois appeared and Champlain hurriedly took the escorts back north, but he didn't want to escape, so he stopped in front of the woods in the north and looked south.

These indigenous people have the same skin and facial features as the East Asians, and they are stout. Most of them are armed with wooden sticks, stone hammers and other weapons. Some of them also carry bows and arrows, but the dozen or so of them are carrying spear blades behind their backs. With bows and arrows, it was obvious that iron weapons were the weapons they exchanged from the New Englanders through trade.

　　 Hadar knows at a glance that there are six to seven hundred or even seven to eight hundred people. They are divided into three camps, each with four or five latte leaders.

These people yelled and spoke incomprehensible language. When they approached, they saw the dead body outside the fortress. They immediately slapped their weapons, and then shook them a few times before rushing towards the fortress under the leadership of the leader. come.

　　 Hadar, who had been waiting a long time ago, led Ulav to stand behind the stone wall in the middle of the fortress, watching the aboriginal people outside get closer and closer, and their hideous and terrifying faces became clearer and clearer.

　　 Hudick standing behind the outer wall fumbled and calculated the distance between the Iroquois and the castle, until they were a hundred and fifty steps closer, Hudick shouted with a big hand: "First row! Fire!"

　　Because the fortress space was too narrow, the sixty musketeers couldn't stand at a time, so they were divided into three rows, and twenty people went up and opened fire at a time.

　　 The twenty musketeers in the first group were all the oldest and best marksman Icelandic musketeers. They lit the match rope and fired bullets. Each shot hit one or two Iroquois fighters.

The Iroquois had also fought against the French many times and had seen how powerful the arquebuses were, but they only saw French soldiers on the hillside in the distance holding their guns, and the soldiers in front of the fortress were all holding spears, which made them To the effect, I didn't guess that there were musketeers hidden in the fortress.

　　 Nearly thirty Iroquois warriors who rushed to the forefront either had blood on their chests or moved their faces, and fell to the ground with gunshots. Three of them were leaders-like figures.

　　 The momentary attrition did not make the Iroquois flinch. The fierce and militant Iroquois were much stronger and brave than the Beotuks.

　　 The death of their companions made them even more crazy. The leaders sang war hymns, and accompanied by roars and singing, the Iroquois stepped over the bodies of their companions and rushed forward at a faster speed.

　　 The leaders and the good hunters in the tribe took down their bows and arrows and shot an arrow toward the fortress. Now the distance has been compressed to less than 150 steps. According to the impression of the Iroquois, their bows and arrows are enough to threaten the safety of white people.

　　 But most of the arrows fell on the Viking soldiers wearing plate armor. Apart from clinking and scratching, they did not cause any damage.

　　 The leaders and hunters are not Wenlan’s unseen Beotuk fools. They know this is white armor, because French soldiers have officers wearing plate armor, such as Francis.

Knowing that bows and arrows made of animal teeth and branches cannot penetrate iron armor, the Iroquois dropped their bows and arrows, clenched the iron tools in their hands, and shouted: "Rush to the white people and take off their iron armor. Kill them in the gap!"

　　 During the Iroquois charge, Francis was also calculating whether they had entered the range of fifty French soldiers, and arranged for nearly half of the more than one hundred Huron warriors to shoot at the enemy.

The musketeers in the fort took turns firing. The second and third rounds shot and killed more than 50 people. Although the predecessors were shot to death, the indigenous people still rushed forward. Although the muskets were terrible, they could not shake the Iroquois Human offensive.

　　 After the third round of shooting was over, the twenty musketeers in the first round also filled their ammunition and continued to shoot.

Ten minutes later, after paying the cost of two hundred lives, the Iroquois rushed to the fort. Just as they were about to pounce on the Viking soldiers, Hudick gave an order and he and forty Viking soldiers were at the same time. Take off the short spear hanging from the belt around his waist, and then accompanied by the muffled throat~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the short spear flew out, passing a stream of light in the air.

　　 "Puff puff......"

　　 More than forty Iroquois warriors facing them were pierced through their chests and lower abdomen with 41 short spears, and then most of them died tragically on the spot, while a small number lay on the ground and howled in pain.

　　 One of the three skills of housekeeping passed down from generation to generation by the Icelandic Vikings is flying spear and flying axe.

　　 That is the skill that the ancestors learned when they robbed ships, and many Icelanders have not discarded this skill for many years.

Under the personal training of the Icelandic captain and instructor, everyone has mastered the flying spear skills. The forty Vikings from the white wolf warrior's hands have also mastered the flying spear and flying axe skills, within 25 steps. It can be done with one spear through the chest, wherever it is pointed.

　　 Although it was partially affected by the wearing of plate armor, the three-pound short spear in twenty moves was still an unstoppable and difficult-to-evade weapon in the hands of Viking soldiers.

Forty Viking soldiers continuously removed the four short spears hanging from the waist belt and threw them out, killing and wounding more than one hundred Iroquois in succession, causing most of the Iroquois who were about to rush to the fortress to be killed or injured. .

　　 More than 800 Iroquois warriors had killed or injured more than 300 people before they even touched the Viking warriors. The remaining 500 people still did not step back, and were ready to swarm up in a roar.

But neither the Musketeers in the fort nor the French soldiers close to one hundred and seventy or eighty steps away would hesitate and stop. The twenty bullets in the fort and the fifty bullets of the French soldiers turned into a life-threatening demon. Among the Roques fighters, more than forty people were killed in an instant.

　　 Before the gunfire disappeared, the Huron's more than fifty feather arrows fell again, shooting more than a dozen Iroquois in an instant.

　　 This wave of blows caused the Iroquois to fall down nearly sixty people again, and the continuous mass attrition finally completely destroyed the Iroquois's fighting consciousness.
