The rain in June was accompanied by wind and thunder, and the soft earth gradually became muddy. The farmland along the river was growing vigorously, and the water level of the river gradually rose. However, on the west bank of the Adobe River, in the once prosperous Jinwan land, small-scale fighting broke out
Fighting with the enemy is constantly breaking out around villages. Blood blooms, dust and mud are buried, fresh vitality is injected into the farmland between the jungles, and more fertilizer is buried under the corn beside the river.
"Ha! The current situation is that a large group of monkeys gather together, holding rocks, occupying the big tree for defense, and facing the oncoming Langjin Bay City, there is really no rush!"
The black wolf Toltec was fully armed, holding a copper axe, and led thousands of canine elites, walking on the narrow dirt road. The seaside in July was very hot, and even if he only wore a piece of leather armor, the black wolf's head would be so hot.
Khan. However, he ran all the way, pursed his lips and said nothing, thinking deeply about the recent battle situation.
More than ten days ago, he led thousands of his main force to rush south and set up a logistics camp in the Snake Lake Village area. Later, he personally led the troops, peeked at the defense of Jinwan City, and launched an unexpected ambush to lure the enemy, causing heavy losses.
He went to Jihu City Department. From the mouths of the prisoners, he got the details of the east-west coalition forces in Totonac.
Hei Lang was in a hurry when he went south, and even scouted and killed himself. But after receiving detailed information from the enemy, he became cautious.
"There are 30,000 warriors and militiamen in the East and West Totonac tribes, with sufficient logistics. However, when the army goes south, there are only 4,000 Guakili regiments, 1,000 artillery battalions, 2,000 Mixtec vanguard battalions, and 6,500 Totonacs.
Tonak surrendered his troops, which is about 14,000 people!"
Thinking of the comparison in strength between the two sides, Hei Lang couldn't help but frown and sighed secretly.
"The number of Kingdom warriors in our headquarters is still too small! In the past half month, I have tried my best to mobilize another two thousand Guajili Legion from Wushan City and Zhanshe New City. And the remaining four thousand in our headquarters,
To suppress the troops of various tribes and control the 200 miles between Wushan City and Zhanshe New City, we have reached our limit and there is nothing more we can do. I have no choice but to write to His Highness to request support from more legions!"
At this moment, if Black Wolf has 14,000 Lake Legions in his hands, he will have enough confidence to directly attack Jinwan City and fight a decisive battle with the 30,000 Totonak coalition forces! But now, among the troops in his hands, only
There are four thousand headquarters, two thousand miscellaneous troops, and more than half of the remaining are unreliable Totonac troops.
"If five or six thousand local troops are sent down to fight a favorable battle, or under the supervision of our own warriors to fight a siege with superior strength, there will be no problem with morale! But if we bring these people with us and the superior troops, we will
In the decisive battle between the Tonak coalition forces, I'm afraid they will collapse directly, and even our own samurai will suffer!"
Hei Lang was old enough to fight, and he simply could not trust the newly surrendered tribes to surrender their troops. In large-scale battles, those surrendered troops with low morale would not be able to hold on for long if they did not occupy a sufficient strength advantage.
Once the surrender troops are defeated and flee, the whole army will be shaken, and the morale of the elite troops will also be greatly reduced. If we really want to fight a decisive battle, even if it is only 6,000 troops plus miscellaneous troops, against 30,000 coalition troops, the winning rate will be higher than if we bring along unbearable teammates.
"The Totonac coalition has a city wall to rely on, and it is difficult to be defeated if they rely on the city to fight in the field. But if they muster up their bloody courage, they will rush out of the city and fight with the army on the outskirts of the city, and even fight in a melee near the jungle.
"
Thinking of such a situation, Black Wolf's whole body was agitated and he became more and more cautious.
If it really turns into a melee in the forest, if the kingdom's warriors cannot take advantage of the formation battle, they may be beaten to death by the Totonak coalition forces who are familiar with jungle fighting. It is precisely with this possibility in mind that Black Wolf sent Jinwan to
The troops outside the city shrank to the Shehu Village camp and broke away from the intensive contact around Jinwan City. Then, he detached a partial division, led by Tupa, with an artillery battalion to attack the outskirts of Jinwan City to the southeast.
Junzhai, Zonglinzhai.
"Going Deeper to the Southeast. Logistics of Jinwan City, a large adobe village in the forest"
While Black Wolf was thinking, he looked ahead, which was the dirt road in the forest going to the southeast. This dirt road was only two or three meters wide, and was lined with tall and low palm trees, as well as newly cut thorns and branches.
In the middle of the dirt road, there were footprints of the army and deep wheel marks.
"God bless you! When marching in the jungle, as long as the scale exceeds a few hundred people, you must rely on the dirt roads that have been walked by the villagers for hundreds of years. If an army of thousands of people leaves the dirt roads, leaves the villages connected by dirt roads, and leaves the safety and stability
The water source goes deep into the dense jungle, which is almost a dead end! And even the dirt roads built by the villagers are mostly dilapidated and narrow. It is still very difficult to pass the army!"
Ever since he left Wushan City in the east and arrived at the lowland seaside, Black Wolf gradually realized that marching in the lowland jungle was completely different from marching in the plateau valley!
The Mexica Plateau is generally open. From one city-state to another, there are mostly flat fields or sparse mountain forests in between, which can be used by large armies. Therefore, the legions can move quickly and move very flexibly. However, when they arrived at Toto
In the Nak Lowland, due to the obstruction of the jungle, there are often only fixed narrow dirt roads between city-states, villages and towns, and military villages. These fixed and simple roads can also be regarded as fixed lines of communication for the army. All large-scale battles will revolve around
It happens along the roads and villages.
"Of course, in this jungle lowland on the Totonac coast, the river and sea roads are more suitable for the passage of large armies!"
The black wolf paused, tilted his head and looked into the distance. When he got here, the direction of Jinwan City had changed from due east to northeast. It was about thirty miles away in the northeast, on a plain where the river and the sea meet. In Jinwan City,
To the north of Bay City is the coast extending from east to west, and to the east of Jinwan City is the large adobe river extending from north to south.
"The coast connects the east and west, and the river connects the north and the south. The troops and food supported by Totonac's various ministries in the southeast, northwest, and north can all be easily gathered into Golden Bay City. However, the alliance's navy does not have enough advantages to intercept Golden Bay City.
"River-Sea Access Road"
Thinking of this, Hei Lang narrowed his eyes and became more and more certain of his plan.
"We can't attack directly in Jinwan City. We need to lure out these messy seaside tribes one by one and deal with them on the outside! I want to see if the troops can go deep behind, threaten the rear, and expose Totonak's opportunity to take advantage of.
Can all the coalition forces still be able to sit still?"
"In addition to dividing the coalition forces and luring them to defeat, there is also a more important goal. Try your best to cut off the rear of Jinwan City until you control the adobe river. No matter how difficult it is, how many people will die!"
Black Wolf clarified his thoughts and felt fierce in his heart. He did not make a sound, but his footsteps became more rapid. The canine elites around him also ran as fast as they could without stopping.
But two quarters of an hour later, thick black smoke rose in the forest ahead, foreshadowing the blood and fire of the fighting. Then, a large amount of blood began to appear near the dirt road, corpses killed in battle, and broken stone spears were all foreshadowing.
Still, the cruel battlefield is not far ahead.
After a while, the wind carried the choking smell of soot, as well as the faint remaining smoke of gunpowder, blending with the strong smell of blood. The brown forest beside the dirt road also became sparse, the sky became brighter, and then suddenly it became cheerful.
.
The black wolf became energetic and walked out of the edge of the jungle. Then, a small lake, reflecting the hills next to it, and the camp on the hills came into view.
"Okay! Very good! Praise the Lord God! Palm Forest Village is finally here!"
