The drizzle of rain fell from the sky, fell into the earthen graves, hit the asphalt bone mounds, flowed between the tall stone monuments, and brushed over the solemn faces of many legion generals.
The land of Totonac has a tropical savanna climate, which is warm and humid all year round. The coastal lowlands are particularly hot, rainy and windy in summer, and can even be farmed all year round. At this moment, the drizzle falls and the breeze blows, bringing a slight coolness, which makes people feel relaxed.
Feel refreshed.
Black Wolf Toltec raised his head, stared at the generals present, and pondered for a long time. He received His Highness's decree at the camp of Tree Snake City, led a lone army to the east, walked down the plateau of more than 2,000 meters, and marched
After traveling more than five hundred miles, they reached the coast of the East China Sea occupied by the Totonac people.
Now, the army has completely broken away from the supply range of the Tree Snake City camp, arrived at the coastal area where the alliance's influence is weak, and is completely hostile to Totonak's various ministries. The mission he shoulders is no longer to plunder and capture prisoners.
Instead of leaving after burning, he must really take root on the coast and establish a port base that can allow the kingdom's fleet to go to sea. In other words, he must start running the place, take root here, and obtain local food supplies.
Supply and support an army of more than 10,000 people.
General Black Wolf frowned slightly, feeling heavy pressure. He thought for a long time before facing the respectfully waiting generals and spoke in a deep voice.
"Blessed by the Lord God! We have captured the northern holy land of the Totonac people, the ancient feathered serpent city! The wolves have been running for so long, and finally arrived at the seaport that His Highness wanted. Next, this is our territory, and the legion will not
Let’s go again!”
Hearing this, all the generals cheered sincerely. The Guaquili Army has been fighting for more than a year and has fought dozens and hundreds of battles. It is indeed a little tired and needs to be repaired. As for the surrendered generals, they have to lead the army.
Arrow, who undertakes the most arduous task in the attack and often suffers the heaviest casualties, really wants to settle down.
"The army walked down the warm plateau and came to the hot lowland. Although the tribes along the way had simple weapons and no armor, they resisted tenaciously. In the battle of the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl, the descendants of Totonak and the priests who believed in the false god,
In the name of the Holy Land, we encouraged warriors and militias from various tribes to resist and struggle in the towns! We fought for three or four days, and thousands of warriors died in battle. In the end, we used artillery to disperse the warriors of the Divine Family.
, causing the frightened militiamen to surrender."
General Heilang paused, glanced at Hong'er, the militia leader who was the first to surrender, and nodded with a smile. Hong'er was flattered, his face immediately beamed with joy, and he returned the courtesy respectfully.
"After entering the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl, the descendants and priests of the false god led hundreds of warriors to resist in the pyramid temple. We fired rockets, which ignited the black oil in the temple and set off a fire. The fire burned.
It's been ten days, and now it's all turned into ashes! Your Highness asked me to try to preserve the inheritance panels and stone carvings and murals in the temple, but I didn't do it, so I made a mistake."
Hearing this, the red monkey Ozoma coughed slightly and replied with a smile.
"Dear Commander of the Black Wolf Army, there is so much black oil stored in the Quetzalcoatl Temple, and I don't know what to use it for. I see, the priests in the temple have already made up their mind to burn the temple down.
.This is not your mistake, but the priests of false gods were deceived by evil spirits and could not see the glory of the true God, and thus they were destroyed by wood and stone!"
Hearing this, the Totonak warrior Wood Lizard opened his mouth. He wanted to explain something, but in the end he did not dare to say anything. He had guarded the feathered serpent priests and knew the uses of the black oil. One was as a pigment for murals.
The other was used for embalming corpses. If the legion had not used terrible gunpowder arrows, the black oil would not have been so easy to ignite.
"Well. No matter what, it is my responsibility to burn down the ancient temple and leave no inheritance map. I will also admit my mistake to His Highness!"
Black Wolf was silent for a moment, but did not shirk anything. As proud as he was, he did not bother to put the responsibility on the dead man's head. He raised his head, glanced at everyone sternly, and ordered in a deep voice.
"Witness the Lord God! After the Feathered Serpent City was captured, the three thousand divine nobles, priests and warriors who dared to resist were all killed and sacrificed by the army! You all plundered property and women and indulged yourself for several days. Now, you have to start again.
Discipline the army for me! Otherwise, if I personally restrain the military discipline, I will not be merciful!"
Seeing Hei Lang's cold expression, the generals' hearts trembled. They all bowed their heads and responded respectfully.
"Yes! The Lord God witnesses! I obey you, the brave Black Wolf Chief!"
"Very good! You are my wolves. When it is time to bite, you must do your best, and when it is time to eat, you must also feast. Now that you have finished eating, it is time to stop and obey the order!"
Hei Lang nodded with satisfaction. He organized his thoughts and talked about it again.
"After more than a month of fighting, you should have noticed. The Totonak people are also a tribe in the wilderness that went south hundreds of years ago. They are our distant brothers who speak the same language and come from the same origin. Although they have been comfortable for a long time,
But if you really fight for your life, you can still fight!"
Hearing this, all the dog-born generals nodded. After the conquests in the past few years, the rankings of the various tribes that the legion has fought against are probably the Tlaxcalans, who have the largest number of soldiers and civilians as one, and the strongest combat effectiveness. Mis, the citizen of the clouds
The Turks are separated from the nobles and the humble, and their militia is weak, making them the weakest overall. The organization of the Totonac people is even higher than that of the Nantecos people who live in the mountains, and they can be ranked second!
"Therefore, if we want to firmly occupy this place and manage the seaside land, we must carefully distinguish the various departments of Totonac, and also clearly see the different groups within each department, distinguish the enemy, and see the friends clearly."
Speaking of this, Hei Lang paused for a moment, remembering His Highness's previous teachings, and his words became meaningful.
"His Highness said, who is our enemy? Who is our friend? This is the primary question in war! Look carefully, among the Totonak people, from top to bottom, they can be divided into four levels!"
"The top two classes are the hereditary priests and nobles. They are the smallest in number but hold the greatest power and wealth! Then there are the middle class tribal warriors, numbering in the thousands. They control the military force of war, but they are often subordinate to different subordinates.
The priests, nobles and leaders. Finally, there are the tribesmen at the lowest level, tens of thousands, who are responsible for farming, fishing, logging, construction and making tools. In general, they are the priests, nobles, warriors, civilians, all kinds of people.
It needs to be handled differently!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this, the generals looked at each other with some thoughts in their hearts. The red monkey Ozoma was attentive and listened most carefully. He was in awe of His Highness who could say these words.
However, it was born.
". How to distinguish enemies from friends? Simply put, enemies are the targets of the wolves, while friends are the wolves that can cooperate. If we want to annex the Totonak people's wolves, naturally we have to kill the first wolf.
Kill the leading nobles and priests and seize the leadership of the wolf pack! This process of seizing will completely eliminate the divine power of the priests and try to narrow the jurisdiction of the leaders. In other words, all feathered serpent priests will be executed, and the big nobles will
All are sacrificed, and the small tribe leader will keep it according to the situation!"
The cold words of the black wolf fell into the ears of the generals, like thunder, making people's hearts tremble. In the entire Central American world, only the Mexicans who shoulder the destiny and consider themselves chosen by God will destroy the gods.
, the terrifying idea of sacrificing a descendant of a god is taken as a matter of course.
"By killing the leading nobles and priests, we can obtain enough property, land and caves to reward the loyal warriors who follow us! The Guakili Legion has land enfeoffment in the kingdom, so it needs sufficient property rewards. As for Mister who follows us
The Ke warriors and Totonac warriors need land and serfs to be enfeoffed before they can truly feel at ease. Similarly, only by dealing with the priests and nobles, as well as the warriors and militiamen of the coastal tribes, will the leaders lose allegiance and can be conquered by us!
"
Hearing this, Richie the Woodpecker and Andiwei, the Divine Priest, looked at each other and nodded tacitly.
Now, the Mixtec warriors under their command have completely lost their wild nature and are no longer the obedient people they were once tamed by the priests and nobles. And these Mixtec warriors can obey orders and are not afraid of death.
They were just afraid of the powerful force suppressed by the Mexican Legion, but they were able to plunder and kill wantonly after the war, gaining unprecedented vent and wealth.
An army like this is really like a pack of wolves, and will bite back at any time. The two of them are not as fierce and brave as General Black Wolf. They command the vanguard camp and are always in fear. And if they can give the warriors land and serfs, they will indeed be able to stabilize the situation.
Military morale is a way to restrain brutal warriors.
As for the warrior Wood Lizard and the militia leader Hong Er, they were a little skeptical when they heard that the land and serfs of the noble leader could be divided, and they couldn't believe it yet.
"The priests and nobles are the destined enemies of the kingdom. The warriors and militiamen are the friends that the kingdom can win over, and they are the wolves in their prime. We must subdue the wolves in their prime, kill the few who are rebellious, and make the majority obedient.
I ordered all the wolves to be brought under my command one by one!"
"As long as the tribal warriors and militia surrender to the kingdom, they can replace the position of the noble leader and obtain wealth, land and tribes they have never imagined! But in the traditional Totonak tribe, they have no chance of obtaining all this. As long as they
If you accept the reward from the kingdom, you will become a slave wolf that maintains the rule of the kingdom! Of course, the standards for enfeoffment must also be different for different tribes. We must let the warriors who follow us first get the benefits first! Those who have made the greatest achievements
, get one more!”
When the generals heard this, they were all fascinated, and they seemed to have an extra target to fight against. When the words of General Black Wolf fell in the ears of the surrendered generals, they were no longer harsh and terrifying, but became kind and majestic.
"The punishment for resistance is death, and the reward for surrender! As long as the alpha wolf and the mature wolf are eliminated, the remaining weak old wolves and young wolves, as well as tens of thousands of tribal people, can only follow them and work obediently for us. They left
The priests and chieftains have no ability to resist the command, and they cannot be regarded as enemies of the kingdom. And they believe in false gods, and they cannot be regarded as friends of the kingdom until they sincerely convert and convert to the main god. As long as they remember to
Give the tribute to the leader, give it to the kingdom, and then just submit to the Lord God!"
Speaking of this, Hei Lang paused for a while, touched his head, and vaguely felt that something was wrong. He had been on the war for many years, and he was well-informed. He had seen too many different and similar tribesmen.
Tens of thousands of tribesmen in all tribes in the world have always only known how to obey the nobles, believe in the gods, and do not know how to resist. They are prey eaten by the upper class. In fact, they are not old wolves and young wolves at all, but at most they are tame turkeys.
Just a grass rat!
At this moment, Hei Lang was slightly in a trance. He couldn't help but look to the west, thinking in confusion.
"His Royal Highness has repeatedly emphasized to me that civilians, like the tide, contain real power like mountains and seas. But where is this power hidden? I have never seen it."
