The gamble between the two tribes naturally ended with the defeat of the Iroquois.
I'm afraid Yoda Seneca, who is already dead, never thought that his elaborate gambling fight would end in a crushing end. If he knows, I'm afraid it's hard for him to be a ghost.
However, there is no way, even if he does not design this gambling fight, the Iroquois can not escape the fate of complete annexation. It can only be said that the gamble he designed saved more Iroquois lives.
In fact, Yoda Seneca is not to blame. He underestimated the bravery and weapons of the bear soldiers.
Even if they are all cold weapons, because of the different materials used to build these weapons, the performance of the weapons will naturally vary too much.
Take the bow and arrow. The longest range of the bow and arrow used by the Iroquois is is only 80-90 meters, while the longest range of these powerful bows used by the soldiers of the fierce bear army is generally about 150 meters.
In addition, the speed of archery was very fast, so the 60 meter gap became an insurmountable gap between life and death for the Iroquois.
No matter how fast these Iroquois can run, they still have weapons on them. Moreover, this is a wasteland, and it is not a professional track. Therefore, it takes at least eight or nine seconds to finish the 60 meters.
And that's eight or nine seconds, enough for the bear soldiers to shoot three or four arrows.
If you include the time the Iroquois stopped to shoot, it would be enough for the bear Stormers to volley again.
The average person shoots four arrows, 600 archers, that is 2400 arrows. Even if the hit rate is only one fifth, it is enough to shoot half of the Iroquois soldiers.
The most important thing is that this kind of process of being beaten but unable to fight back is too oppressive, and it's hard to bear the fear of seeing the comrades in arms being shot constantly.
Moreover, the Iroquois also found that when the rest of them rushed to the distance where they could bow and shoot arrows, the Cherokees on the opposite side shamelessly took out a wooden shield to block their heads
How can we fight this war?
When you shoot at a distance of 80 or 90 meters, most of the arrows will be blocked by wooden shields. Even if some of the arrows are lucky enough to hit the Cherokee, they will not cause any fatal damage.
It is the so-called "at the end of the crossbow, the potential can not wear Lu Yi"!
But when the Iroquois continued to run against death, the Cherokees shamelessly threw spears
Spears are not like bows and arrows. When a bow or arrow is shot at a person, as long as it doesn't hit the key and vital parts, it can't kill him.
But the spear is different. This kind of spear is made of hollow cast iron pipe which is more than two meters long and two centimeters in diameter and weighs more than ten jin. One end of the spear is extremely sharp. Once it is pierced on a person, it will almost end in death.
Even if you can't get to the point, when you throw a spear, is the hollow space a decoration? This thing bloodletting is more fierce than the blood trough. Once it plunges into the human body, the blood will come out like tap water, and you can't stop it.
The pipe fork that many street thugs used to play with in previous lives is called cruel when they stick blood on people, but this kind of hollow spear is more cruel than the pipe fork!
Even if some Iroquois soldiers escaped the attack of bows, arrows and spears, as a result, they just ran forward, and the overwhelming axe throwing came again
This kind of Throwing Axe is similar to the small axe used by the gangsters in the kung fu movie. It's no worse than throwing spears. Although it's small, it's accurate. Once it hits the target, one axe can make the target fall to the ground!
Therefore, the 1000 Iroquois soldiers were all brought down before they even rushed 30 meters in front of the stormy bear soldiers.
On the other hand, except for two unfortunate men who were shot by the Iroquois and died, and more than 30 others who were shot, all the others were intact.
The loss is nothing more than less than one third of the normal training strength
In fact, when the stone bear shot six chiefs of the Iroquois alliance, and the soldiers of the bear army began to charge, the Iroquois camp began to riot.
Dozens of horses first rushed out of the Iroquois camp, as if to support them, followed by a large number of Iroquois.
As a result, the stone bear opened his bow seven times in a row and shot seven Iroquois on horseback at a distance of 400 meters. After that, the Iroquois were startled.
Then the 76 mortars in the bear army barracks opened fire. Although only more than 20 76 mortars fired in two rounds, it was these two rounds of salvos that directly caused the Iroquois who were ready to support to drop four or five hundred bodies.
The rest of the Iroquois immediately fled
In the end, the outcome of this gambling fight has such a crushing outcome.
The whole battle field of gambling is full of the bodies of Iroquois and the wounded Iroquois. The scene is very miserable.
In order to prevent the Iroquois from escaping, and at the same time to prevent the Iroquois from repenting, the stone bear blew three short and two long horns.
Then, the 76 cannons, which had already been laid out, began to carry out deterrent fire.
The 76 cannons of the three artillery regiments and hundreds of 76 mortars started shooting a few kilometers away from the Iroquois camp. Of course, the Gunners did not aim at the Iroquois camp. Guided by the hot-air balloon observer, the Gunners aimed at the open space next to the Iroquois camp.
Just now, more than 20 76 mortars have shown these Iroquois the terror of heat weapons. Now, cannon, who is more powerful than 76 mortars, is afraid to fire, and the scene is even more terrifying.
Hundreds of shells in the Iroquois camp around the continuous explosion, the dust raised to block the sky, the sound of the explosion is earth shaking. Not to mention these Iroquois, this kind of saturated shooting, even in the period of World War I, is enough to be called a terror!
When the threatening shooting that lasted for several minutes ended, there was no one in the camp of the Iroquois who dared to jump out again
Under such circumstances, the remaining Pro guards and the cavalry of the second division were sent out.
These soldiers on horseback, armed with cavalry rifles, rushed through the gambling battlefield like wind and cloud, then rushed to the front of the Iroquois camp, and surrounded the Iroquois camp.
Even if the Iroquois go back, they can't jump now.
Because the stone bear gave the order before the gambling started. If any Iroquois dare to resist, they will be killed!
In this way, surrounded by cavalry, under the threat of artillery in the distance, the Iroquois could not turn over any more waves!
