Chapter 676： Conquest of America

Marin was not blind. Although he could not see the expressions of the recruits on the city wall ten kilometers away, he observed these days and found that the recruits of the Fifth Legion guarding the city wall became more and more comfortable. . More latest chapter visit: ШЩЩ.⑦⑨XS.сОМ.

In the first two or three days, the British troops who were often attacked by the city wall found ‘holes’ and occupied a section of the city wall. Although the British army will eventually be driven down, it has also threatened the city walls. However, as the recruits became more and more accommodating, this situation was rare. On the seventh day of the city siege, Marin only found that the city had only had a dangerous situation once, and it was quickly dealt with.

Marin was very pleased to watch the growth of these recruits of the Fifth Legion. In order to better train these recruits, Marin even modified the plan to launch the attack seven days later and decided to wait a few days ...

Although it is said that this week's siege warfare, it is estimated that more than 1,000 casualties were caused to the recruits. However, Marin is not worried. Why? Because the Fifth Army has a mature field medical team ...

This mature medical team has enough clean gauze packed in oil paper bags, and a large amount of medical wine 'fines' (both are the by-products of Erguotou, which is the more choking part of "Guotou" and "Guowei" ), And there are plenty of Jinchuang 'medicines' configured by Mozhgen and Battle ... As long as they are not fatally injured or disabled, they can basically be rescued ...

The old army of the same period, the wounded on the battlefield, can survive half, it is a miracle ... And in the military of Marin, this survival rate is more than half ...

In order not to let the French learn this, the wounded of the Fifth Legion were carried to the martial law hospital in secret for treatment. Therefore, the French in the city did not know the means for the Fifth Army to treat the wounded. Otherwise, these Frenchmen must report to Louis XII.

As for whether the French will find a "miracle" where the survival rate of the wounded is high, Marin is not very worried. Why? Because the wounded on the battlefield generally do not die on the battlefield, but after the wound is infected, they will die long after suffering painfully. But Marin did not wait long, and after a few days, the British army outside York City would be resolved. Then, the Fifth Army and the French could part ways. By then, the ghost knows the survival rate of the wounded in the Fifth Legion?

It is precisely because of such self-confidence that Marin planned to postpone a few more days to make the recruits of the Fifth Legion more familiar with the atmosphere of the battlefield. You should know that this relatively safe atmosphere for military training is inexplicable ...

...

While the violent urban offensive and defensive war broke out inside and outside York City, far away in the American colony, on the island of Cuba, the battle between the colonial army and the indigenous people also broke out ...

Of the 600 warriors going to Cuba, 300 were hunters in the Black Forest. They were all tracking and ‘shooting’ masters. The other 300 people, who are also old residents of the Black Forest, are no strangers to the jungle. Moreover, Marin sent them to Cuba last year. However, until now, in the second and middle of May of the second year, this group of talents began to work ...

why? Unacceptable ...

It's tears when I say too much. Marin has thought about it enough, and he has specifically eliminated those who are afraid of heat. However, the climate difference between Cuba and Germany is too great. One is the tropical rain forest, the other is the temperate black forest. It is totally two worlds ...

So, after the 600 jungle fighters arrived on Cuba Island in a boat that took three or four months, the first thing was collective illness ...

Of course, it's not the fatal disease, but the kind of disease that's not big or small. Although not fatal, it is enough to make 600 people lose most of their combat power ...

In desperation, the governor of Havana, Tara, had to first raise the gang of uncles, serving **** and brown sugar every day to help them recuperate ...

After several months of cultivation and adaptation, this group of uncles gradually adapted to the Cuban climate. Then they began to tentatively find some tribes near Havana to practice ...

Because of the existence of 300 forest hunters and the addition of some Alsatian wolfhounds, those local tribes could not even escape after the defeat. After all, the indigenous warriors escaped easily, but the old and weak 'women' in their villages wanted to escape. It was difficult to follow their smell, and the German ancestor Alsatian wolf dogs could easily find them ... In addition, when I first arrived in Cuba, the symptoms of these Alsatian wolf dogs were stronger than people, and I was almost sick enough to move ...

Of course, the expeditionary forces did not harm the indigenous Cubans. After suppressing some warriors who resisted the "excitement" with a clockwork rifle, most of the indigenous people were captured.

Those indigenous people are actually not very weak. I have n’t seen a musket. The flames and smoke from the musket, and the thunderous thunder, scared these indigenous warriors from the north. Even, on one occasion, Tara also discovered that an indigenous tribe ’s "Warrior No. 1" was scared by the loud noise of a musket on the spot. It was wrong. The indigenous people did n’t have pants. The leaves and animal skin 'urine' of the lower body are wet ...

Relying on the tremendous power of the volley gun and the earth-shattering sounds, the local tribes are not opponents of the expeditionary force at all. Even if you want to ambush, you will see through the alertness of Alsatian wolfdog. The traps were also seen by the forest hunters one by one ... This battle could not be fought, the local tribes either defeated and captured, or escaped in advance by the wind ...

By the end of June, a month later, the Cuban Expeditionary Force had defeated 20 Taino tribes and captured more than 7,000 people. The area under control is almost five or six thousand square kilometers, which is roughly equivalent to most of Havana Province and Havana in later generations. Farther away, because the jungle is not too far to walk, it is temporarily out of control.

However, Tara was not disappointed. Because, five or six thousand square kilometers of land is already big enough. You know, the two islands in North America that Tara previously managed were only about 500 square kilometers. And the five or six thousand square kilometers around Havana is more than ten times the area he previously managed. As long as the development is completed, the land has a lot ...

Moreover, the freshwater resources on the island of Cuba are very abundant, not only abundant rainfall, but also many rivers, which is very suitable for agriculture. At the same time, the terrain near Havana is still very flat ...

After conquering the surrounding area of ​​several thousand square kilometers, Tara directly took Zhuang Ding and asked the soldiers to hold the captured Taino Zhuang Ding captives and cut the trees together. On such islands full of tropical rain forests, only by cutting down the trees and digging up the roots can they be reclaimed into farmland ...

Of course, for the wood suitable for shipbuilding, Tara also intends to send professionals to handle and save it for future shipbuilding needs.

The problem is that Cuba is a tropical region, and the tree species here are very different from those on the North American continent. Hand over the red oak trees that have been treated, and keep these two trees suitable for shipbuilding intact for the purpose of shipbuilding.

However, the wood in the Cuban forests are all tropical tree species, and most of Tara and his men don't know it, nor do they know which kind of wood is suitable for shipbuilding. Therefore, Tara was desperate and prepared to write to Marin for help, and asked Marin to send a few visionary and knowledgeable shipbuilders to come over and identify the local trees on the Cuban island to see which trees are suitable for shipbuilding. In this way, Tara can also save the logs suitable for shipbuilding for a year or two, so that they can be used for shipbuilding. As for those who are not suitable for shipbuilding, it is directly used as firewood ... Or, it is also possible to build houses and general furniture ...

As for the side of Manhattan Island in New York under the jurisdiction of Albert, although Marin sent thousands of soldiers, because there are fewer forest hunters, the army is still in the training and adaptation stage.

The climate in New York is okay, and only a very few of the people sent are unacceptable. After all, they belong to temperate regions. It ’s just that because there are too few people in this unit that were originally hunters in the Black Forest, most of them need to receive forest adaptation training from dozens of former Black Forest hunter soldiers. Stage. Now, they have just stepped out of Manhattan Island and explored north along the Hudson River. The attack will not begin until the Mochigan site is reached ...
