Chapter 208 The New World in full swing【Seeking complete stability】
"God, please save us and let us in!"
Faced with these people's demands, Hu Guanzhu decisively ordered the door to be opened to admit these more than a hundred indigenous people. Only when they came in did Hu Guanzhu know the situation.
"Three tribes that have enmity with us have united to attack us. The tribe has been destroyed." Elder Heilang quickly informed Hu Guanzhu of the situation.
It turned out that the enemy struck first and wiped out the white buffalo tribe.
"Captain, those barbarians are already heading here!" A sentry on guard from the outside came in to report.
"how many people?"
"There must be at least 2,000 people!"
"More than two thousand people?"
Hu Guanzhu couldn't help but frown.
What an unfortunate coincidence!
A few days ago, the Ming army discovered some locations that were very likely to contain gold mines at a river mouth in the south.
Most of the Ming army soldiers left here and went there to explore.
There are now less than three hundred Ming soldiers in the fortress.
"Send the order and prepare for war!"
Hu Guanzhu immediately issued the order.
As the horns sounded from the fortress tower, all the Ming soldiers were neatly dressed and took their positions to prepare for the attack.
About half an hour passed.
A large army of indigenous savages finally approached.
When these Native American savages wearing animal skins and linen clothes and holding big sticks and bone spears approached, they were all shocked by the 'huge' fortress in front of them.
They had never seen such a huge building.
Not only the wide trench, but also the high walls built with rammed earth logs were something they had never seen before.
As for the tall sentry tower and even taller lighthouse, they were things they had never thought about.
These savage warriors were all stunned by the buildings in front of them.
However, their people have already figured out the situation.
The fugitives from the White Buffalo Tribe fled here.
Since there is no trace of them outside, they must be hiding here.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
As a trumpet sounded, dozens of Ming army archers took up their respective positions.
Gunpowder is a precious material. Hu Guanzhu will not use gunpowder easily unless necessary!
As long as these savages dare to approach, there will be a hail of arrows.
"God, these people are the most greedy poisonous snakes, we must not let them in!"
Elder Heilang spoke to Hu Guanzhu in unskilled Ming dialect.
"You tell them that if they don't want to die, they should leave here as soon as possible."
Hu Guanzhu grabbed Elder Black Wolf and asked him to act as an interpreter and shout to the savage leader outside.
After a conversation, the savages outside showed no intention of retreating.
But they had already begun to weave ladders out of logs and ropes.
"Haha, these guys are looking for death!"
When Hu Guanzhu saw this, he smiled meaningfully.
Although the height of the current fortress is not high, for those without armor and weapons, this will be a place where they die.
"Oh!"
"Wow!"
With waves of shouts, these barbarian warriors were already ready to charge.
Hu Guanzhu also personally led a hundred men in formation, ready to kill at any time.
Hu Guan stood outside the city wall, staring at the enemy in front of him.
"Line up, raise your shield, and hold your gun!"
Hu Guanzhu shouted angrily and issued the final request for formation.
Hu Guanzhao held a spear in his hand and was already ready for battle.
"Wow!"
With a roar, nearly a thousand savage warriors rushed forward.
Hu Guanzhu saw a yellow wild man running towards him in front of him. When he was only a few steps away, he suddenly threw the big wooden stick inlaid with obsidian in his hand towards Hu Guanzhu.
The whistling 'wooden stick' made a circle and hit Hu's closed face.
"Good grandson!"
Hu Guanzhu sneered, and with a slight flick of the shield in his hand, he swung the gemstone stick away.
However, a soldier next to him was a little unlucky.
"ah!"
With a scream, a three-foot-long bone javelin directly hit the soldier's shoulder and penetrated deeply into the armor seam.
The huge inertia caused the soldier to fall to the ground instantly.
However, the power of the bone javelin was very limited. The soldier patted his butt and stood up again.
"kill!"
Regarding the situation next to him, Hu Guanzhu, who had long been accustomed to fighting in battle formations, didn't care at all.
He held the spear tightly and stabbed forward!
"kill!"
As he roared, the savage warrior was immediately stabbed in the face.
With a thud, he fell to the ground and died.
"Kill!"
At this time, the entire array was already fighting together.
Relying on the strength of their numbers, the barbarians have formed an all-powerful offensive at the front.
Hu Guan led his elite troops to fight calmly, preventing the savage warriors from advancing any further.
Steel armor versus rags.
Long knives and spears versus wooden sticks and bone spears.
The offensive of the barbarian warriors quickly collapsed under the counterattack of the Ming army soldiers.
Coupled with the crossbowmen who kept firing on the rear camp wall, these savage warriors suffered heavy casualties.
"kill!"
Hu Guanzhu roared and led the soldiers beside him to launch a countercharge towards the front.
He has already seen it.
These savages in front of me pose no threat at all.
Weapons of wood and bone were smashed against the armor, and apart from making a clanging sound, they were of no use at all.
Until now, Hu Guanzhu has not seen a single Ming soldier fall.
On the contrary, these savage warriors... had already fallen to the ground.
After this easy victory, Hu Guanzhu thought about it for three days and three nights!
He also didn't think about it, who gave him the courage to let these Yin people armed with sticks and rocks attack him?
"Yin people" or "Yin people" are the official names set by Zhu Han for the indigenous Indians in North America.
In today's era, it was the Ming Dynasty that discovered the American continent, so naturally there is no longer any name for Indians.
There are nearly ten million indigenous people in the New World. If the Ming Dynasty wants to conquer this land, it must make good use of so many human resources.
Otherwise, only by immigrating from the Central Plains to the New World, it would take the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to manage this land well.
Assimilation is the best characteristic of the Ming Dynasty in conquering these indigenous people.
After discovering the New World, Zhu Han immediately asked the Ming Dynasty to officially endorse it, attributing the indigenous people in this New World to the Central Plains lineage.
