The more Malin thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with air reconnaissance. It was not much more awesome than ground reconnaissance. Falcons flew high, fast, and had a large reconnaissance range, which was naturally much more convenient than ground reconnaissance. If there was a falcon reconnaissance team in the army, they could reconnaissance the enemy's movements at any time. Then, make the most favorable arrangements.

However, after communicating with Bai Geri and others, Marin was frustrated to find that it seemed to be using Falcon to reconnaissance, which was a bit of a matter of course.

Of course, this does not mean that the falcon is useless, but that there are restrictions on the conditions for use. What kind of restrictions are there? That is, the falcon can distinguish between one's own people and not one's own people, but cannot distinguish between passers-by and enemies.

The reason why the five of them are in the North American jungle is that as long as people are hidden in the jungle, they must be enemies, and there are no one or passers-by. After all, the hunting team's requirement is to clear the jungle.

The Falcon has a low IQ, but at least it still recognizes humans. It is still very easy to find Indian natives in the dense jungle.

However, once you reach a large plain area, falcon reconnaissance will not work well. Why? Because the plain area is full of people and falcons have limited IQ, it is impossible to tell which one is an ordinary person or which one is an enemy, and they often give wrong signals.

Therefore, although the Northeast region has been cultivating falcons since the Sushen era, they are rarely used in military affairs. Mainly, hunters will be confused when they arrive in densely populated areas of the Central Plains. When they see various people, they cannot tell which one is the enemy. After all, falcons are just ordinary animals and do not have that high IQ.

Malin was very disappointed after hearing this, but he thought it made sense. You know, the powerful people of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty liked to play with eagles the most. However, I have only heard of Manchu nobles who used Haidongqing to hunt, but I have never heard of them using Haidongqing as scouts. Obviously, that was because it was inappropriate.

However, in the mountains and forests, Hai Dongqing could easily distinguish between his own people and those who were not his own. After all, Hai Dongqing also had a certain IQ, and with the uniform clothing of the Beihai Kingdom, Hai Dongqing certainly recognized it. However, Indian natives had no clothes to wear, so Hai Dongqing could naturally see the difference at a glance.

According to Bai Geri and several others, after Hai Dongqing discovered the traces of Indians in the jungle, he would fly back and hover over them, passing messages through circles and various flying postures, reporting distances and numbers. However, only experienced eagle trainers could understand these signals.

In the North American jungle, the hidden Indians must be targeted. Therefore, it is most appropriate to use Haidongqing reconnaissance in the North American jungle.

...

Marlin suddenly felt relieved. Although Haidongqing could not use it to detect the enemy situation in densely populated plains, it was very good to use it to ask the Indian natives in the North American jungle.

After all, the North American jungle is too large. If you use the old Black Forest hunter, you will be slow to clean the forest because of your slow action and need to be guarded against enemies that may be ambushed in the forest.

But it is different if you use Haidongqing. Haidongqing flies very fast and has a very good look. In addition, the Indian natives' very sexy outfit is easy to be discovered by Haidongqing and warns in time.

According to Nubi, with the help of Hai Dongqing, the hunting troops could only reconnaise and clear the area of ​​dozens of square kilometers every day, and suddenly increased it to hundreds of square kilometers.

This is because the hunting team's actions are too slow, which has dragged down the results of Haidongqing's reconnaissance. After all, the hunting team is walking in the jungle and can clear up to a few hundred square kilometers a day. If they move fast enough, it's okay to clear thousands of square kilometers a day.

Speaking of the speed of traveling in the jungle, Bai Geri from the Daur tribe of Sorenbe has something to say:

"Marin Khan, walking in the jungle is too slow. If there are horses that the Soren people in our hometown often ride, they can move like flying in the jungle."

"The horses riding by the Sorens? Isn't it just Mongolian horses?" Marin was stunned.

Bai Geri shook his head and said:

"The Great Khan, our Sorens horses were indeed brought from the Korqin Mongolian tribe in the west at first. However, after our own generations of cultivation, our Sorens horses have been very adapted to the life of the jungle, which is obviously different from the Mongolian horses on the grasslands."

"Our horses look no different from Mongolian grassland horses, but in fact they are more adaptable to life in the mountains and forests and are also very resistant to severe cold. They can walk vigorously in the rugged forests, cross the streams sensitively, and alertly avoid the branches across the road to avoid hurting the knights on the horse's back..."

"In other words, although your Sorens' horses are from Mongolia. However, after your domestication and cultivation, they have been very adapted to the forest environment?" Marin asked after thinking.

"Yes, our Sorens' horses are more adaptable to the jungle environment than Mongolian horses. Our horses are much shorter than the big horses of the North Sea, but more adaptable to traveling through the dense forests. If the Sorens' Knights lead Haidongqing to move in the dense forests, it will be easier to conquer the dense forests of the American region than the black forests under your command."

"Yes, if I have hundreds of Sauron Knights under my command, there is no problem in searching and paying hundreds of miles a day." Suha, the oldest of the four brothers from the Sauron tribe, said confidently.

Suha, Barhu, Yadan and Muren are brothers, and they originally lived in the Daxinganling area of ​​Heilongjiang. The locals usually make a living by fishing and hunting, but they also need to exchange supplies. For example, the Soren people need iron swords and bows and arrows, and also iron pots, cotton coats and tea.

However, since the Ming Dynasty withdrew from the Nurgan City near the sea outlet of Heilongjiang decades ago (called Miaojie in the Qing Dynasty and called Nikolayevsk in later generations), the Soren people and Jurchens who were active in the Heilongjiang River basin had lost the place to exchange continued materials.

Subsequently, the Sorens could only obtain iron, cotton fabrics, tea and other materials from the Ming Dynasty from the Mongolians and Jurchens. But the problem was that the Ming Dynasty was not forced by Altan Khan and the Sanniangzi to open border trade with force until the Jiajing period. At present, the Mongolians could not obtain the supplies from the Ming Dynasty. Only by submitting to the Jurchen tribes of the Ming Dynasty could they take the opportunity of tribute to exchange for a small amount of supplies from Liaodong.

Then, the Jurchens sold the excess supplies to the Soren people in the north at a price of several times higher. Whether it was Bai Geri or the four Suha brothers, the reason why they became slaves to the Yehe tribe of the Jurchen tribe in Haixi was because the five of them tried to cross the Jurchen controlled areas and go to Liaodong to exchange supplies with the Ming people.

At that time, there were many martened mountains and forests where the Soren people were located, and martened fur was also very popular in the Ming Dynasty. A piece of sable fur could be sold for dozens of taels of silver, and ordinary martened fur also cost more than ten taels of silver.

Basically, in the Northeast at that time, the hardest currency was mink. The Jurchen area was developed early and had a large population, and mink resources were not as good as those in the Sorens controlled areas in the north. However, they could happily exploit the Sorens by relying on being second-hand dealers.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens could sell sable fur, and they gave the Sorens two or three taels of silver at random. Then, they also sold the supplies from the Ming Dynasty at a high price.

The Soren people were unwilling to give up, so they sent people to secretly take minks through the mountains and forests and go south to Liaodong. They went south from Xing'an Mountains and happened to pass through the Haixi Jurchen area. However, the Jurchens of this era were also masters in the jungle. Therefore, all five of them were captured and became hawk-training slaves of the Yehe tribe of the Haixi Jurchens. Then they were bought by Marin...
