This war was called the tragic night by a year later by the Europeans who learned about this incident. The latest chapter of Zhang He, the general of the Three Kingdoms... Using stone casting ropes, bows and javelins as long-range attack methods. A total of 20,000 Aztec soldiers used stones, arrows and javelins to bathe the entire palace. Of course, the palace in Tenochitilan was full of stone structures. The defense was quite good. Relying on the walls of the palace, European explorers struggled to support it. Some people holding crossbows took advantage of the situation to fight back. Both sides fought so vividly.
Immediately afterwards, the tiger warrior holding a stick with obsidian fragments in his hand and a skinned wooden shield. He screamed in his mouth: "Oh la la la!" rushed into the palace without hesitation, bullying the few, and knocking the Europeans one stick to the ground. The hard and brittle obsidian on these sticks was enough to cut the body. Moreover, because this crystal was too fragile, it would shatter after touching it. Therefore, after hitting the human body, some obsidian fragments would be embedded in the human body, causing continuous damage and pain.
Of course, this kind of weapon is much worse than a spear and a sharp sword. Just wear a good-quality chain mail or scale armor, plus a thicker layer of clothes inside. That's enough.
However, this time the Europeans who followed the fleet were basically adventurers, merchants and down-and-out nobles. The equipment of these people would not be very good. Swords, spears, shields and crossbows would not be missing. However, expensive things like armor are rare. There are only a few down-and-out nobles - mainly knights, who are equipped with some incomplete chain armor and heavy chain armor. The rest are also equipped with light chain armor, or leather armor.
But the number is too small.
This time, the Norman Empire made a big deal, fifty three-masted sailboats, but they only brought a few thousand people. Then the number of people from other countries that Jiasaier came in was naturally imagined - there were less than three hundred people in total.
And the number of Aztec warriors who were hostile to them was 20,000!
The ending of this war was already scheduled at the beginning. At the main entrance of the palace, the thick wooden gate was knocked open by Aztec soldiers with huge wooden stakes, and the massacre of the Europeans began. Next to it, fully armed, uniformly wearing three-quarter plate armor.^//^ Norman infantry holding a tomahawk steel shield watched coldly and did not participate. And their leader John followed and carefully watched the Aztecs' fighting methods.
"It's very brave, and not just brave," Lingsi Code. They use a dense small army as a unit, with about ten people as a group. They focus on cooperation and formation. When dealing with a small number of Europeans, they often have numerical advantages. Of course, European adventurers are not fools. Nowadays, European wars are everywhere. Those who dare to sacrifice their lives to go to the New World. Who has not carried a few lives on their backs? Even those merchants who usually pay attention to making peace and make money and smile when talking to anyone, have fought against pirates and pirates. They can even scoop steel swords to make a series of tricks.
A total of more than 300 European explorers, led by several nobles with the highest prestige, fought and retreated. At this moment, the news of Montezuma II's rescued had not been leaked. The explorers waved their long swords and long spears to resist. They retreated to the emperor's bedroom. There was also a pyramid-shaped building that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. They were suitable for defense. There was also the emperor as a hostage. It was hard to say that they could resist these barbaric pagans with this. Even with this, they could escape from the heavens.
The explorers were supported by this belief and retreated. The palace buildings were not as narrow as the streets. Therefore, European explorers suffered losses when they were guarding the wide and thick walls, and they found a way to make up for it. The passages were full of the corpses of Aztec warriors. In comparison, there were not many European explorers.
In this way, both sides fought wildly and fiercely. Occasionally, desperate Europeans set fire to attempt to burn the palace. However, the Aztec palace was basically a stone structure and there were very few flammable materials. Therefore, such arson was quickly controlled by the Aztecs.
The war situation has been developing into the interior of the palace. Less than a hundred explorers left, cursing these pagan barbarians, while cursing the traitorous Normans. In this way, they reached the last line of defense in their hearts, Montezuma II's bedroom.
"You barbarians! We have control over your emperor! If you want him to die, attack again!" Seeing the bedroom was right in front of you, the surviving European explorers shouted excitedly. Some people turned around and prepared to force the door of the bedroom, while more people remained in place and confronted the Aztecs.
However, the result is self-evident. There is nothing in it.
Desperate, European explorers who lost their last trump card finally chose to die with the Aztecs - although arson did not work, they also had another secret weapon of "civilized people" in their hands: gunpowder, other book friends are reading: The successor of gods and demons. It was the original bomb they secretly stole from the Norman gunboat and made. It was very powerful. But it was very difficult to carry. The explorers placed the bomb in Monte
