Chapter 707: Palm Village, deep into the southeast
The lake was rippling and its surface was dyed red. The originally peaceful lake was now surrounded by simple camps. Thousands of Totonac warriors were running back and forth in the camp, shouting in celebration. Many people had...
Splattered blood.
Under the leadership of the black wolf, thousands of red-haired canine descendants suddenly appeared on the edge of the jungle. These Totonak tribal soldiers first looked surprised, and then bowed their heads deeply in awe.
"Ah! They are the brave Black Wolf Chief, the fierce red-haired warriors..."
"Ha, praise the Lord God! It seems that the battle has just ended. Tupa did a good job!"
The black wolf looked indifferent, looking past the Totonak warriors saluting by the lake, and looking directly at the hills occupying the terrain. The golden sun eagle cannon was shining on the outside of the Brown Forest Village. The troops from the tribes further out were cautious,
From time to time, they peeked at the "Bronze Beast" that could shoot thunder, their eyes full of fear and awe. Some people even knelt on the ground and prayed sincerely to the "Bronze Beast". Obviously, during the attack on the city, the Kingdom's Bronze Beast
The cannon exerted a shocking effect.
In front of Zonglin Village, the simple wooden fence was blasted through holes, and fallen corpses were strewn inside and outside, while the remaining flames were still burning in the corners.
Hundreds of red-haired hunters and thousands of artillery battalion warriors are busy up and down the hills, carrying food and property in the village, and also transporting newly surrendered prisoners. In the prisoner camp outside the Palm Forest Village, the war priests accompanying the army
He is holding the sun amulet and preaching loudly among the large group of captives. The war priests have the right to judge the captives. Only soldiers who surrender to the Lord God can survive.
"Ha! The crowds inside and outside are all surrendered troops from this battle... there are quite a few of them!"
"God bless you! Chief Black Wolf, we captured Brown Forest Village yesterday! I personally tortured the captured leader of Tuhe City, Kuikama, and got detailed information. Before this battle, there were many people stationed in Palm Forest Village.
Tuhe City's brigade has a thousand warriors and two thousand militiamen!"
The artillery battalion commander Tupa, wearing bronze armor and smiling broadly, strode from the front of the camp. Then he lowered his head and respectfully reported back to the black wolf.
"I first fired several rounds of condor cannons to break through the fence of the camp, and then let Qinpo Ali's Totonac battalion charge to the death! It only took the army one day to break through this place, killing more than 1,300 people.
People, more than 1,600 prisoners!"
Hearing this, Hei Lang raised his eyebrows. He looked at Tupa's expression, touched his chin, and asked in a deep voice.
"Tupa, did you use up all the gunpowder in the artillery camp?"
"...Boss, the heavy rain in July is coming soon. It rains a lot, and everything will be wet. The gunpowder in the camp can only be stored for a few days at most."
Tupa came forward with a smile and a shy face.
"Witness the Lord God! If we don't finish the fight now, once it rains heavily, everything will be in vain!..."
"Well...that's indeed the truth."
Hei Lang thought for a while and said nothing more. He just looked around and saw the large burial pit that the militiamen were digging, and asked in a deep voice.
"How many casualties did your army suffer?"
"The 1,500 headquarters basically had no casualties, but the Totonac battalion of 3,000 Qinbo Ali suffered eight or nine hundred people killed in the battle."….
"Huh? Attack such a small village, have artillery, and kill eight or nine hundred people?"
"Oh, boss, the warriors of the Tuhe tribe can still fight. They are mainly mountain people, and they can withstand hard battles when defending. However, the morale of Qinbo Ali's battalion is not high, and they collapsed twice during the charge.
I executed nearly two hundred deserters."
Tupa stretched out his hand and pointed to a circle of wooden poles outside the camp, on which were densely packed heads, even dripping with blood.
In the Lake Legion, the warriors who charge have a chance to survive and even receive a heavy reward. The deserters who retreat have only a dead end. The general will kill hundreds of deserters in one breath without blinking. Likewise, only such cruelty
Only with good military law can the surrendering soldiers be driven to fight to the death.
"Well. Qinbo Ali's surrendered soldiers have not returned for a long time, and they are still wolf cubs. We can't take them to fight against the Totonac coalition yet. But it will be nice to fight more battles in the future and see more blood!"
"
Hei Lang glanced lightly and nodded.
"Tupa, these newly surrendered Tuhe soldiers will be supplied to you! Create a new Totonak old camp on the surrender camp. Those who can survive one charge can be promoted to team officers in the surrender camp.
Those who survive three battles will be absorbed into the old camp of Totonak. And the warriors in the old camp who can capture the heads of three people will be directly incorporated into the headquarters, absorbed into the kingdom's warriors, and will be entrusted with lands!"
"Yes! I obey you! Leader Black Wolf, you are so generous!"
The two laughed and talked a few more words, deciding the fate of the surrendered soldiers lightly. Then, Hei Lang looked solemn and asked in a deep voice.
"Zonglin Village is more than thirty miles away from Jinwan City, only a one-day trip... You attacked Zonglin Village, what will happen to the Totonac coalition forces in Jinwan City?"
"Boss, the legion has been keeping scouts watching Jinwan City. It has been two days, but there is still no response from the city. None of the coalition forces have come out of the city to provide support. It is estimated that there is no consensus and no one can make a decision."
Hearing this, Hei Lang frowned. He came with a thousand Guakili warriors in a low-key manner, just to prepare to set up an ambush with Tupa to ambush the reinforcements coming from Jinwan City. Unexpectedly, the outer camp was lost, and Jinwan City
It was as motionless as a mountain.
"Damn it! These seaside turtles have shrunk their shells, but they don't show their heads at all..."
"Boss, I interrogated Kuikama, the leader of Tuhe City, before. He said that the Eastern and Western Totonak coalition forces have different ideas... The only one who can come to support Brown Forest Village is Dong Totonak.
The Nak coalition forces, such as the Hatori Castle tribe and the Jinwan tribes. But at the moment, the Hatori Castle tribe is weak and the Jinwan tribes are defending the city, so they may not come."
Tupa paused, collected his thoughts, and made a new proposal.
"Witness the Lord God! Instead of waiting here, why don't I continue to fight to the southeast! Thirty miles to the southeast is Hewan Village, where three thousand people from Coyote City are stationed. If we capture this place, we can cut off the adobe river.
Upstream, it threatens the east bank of the river. Within a hundred miles of Hewanzhai, there are two units of Cone House City and Coyote City of the West Totonak coalition... When the time comes, a small team of warriors will be sent across the river to harass.
The other party won’t jump!"
Hearing this, the black wolf turned around and looked into the deep jungle in the southeast. If he continued to go deeper to the southeast, he would reach the adobe river. This river is the north-south passage of the Totonac coalition. Three more miles downstream
Ten miles away is the adobe village, an important place for the logistics transfer of the coalition forces.
"God bless you! Then wait for two more days and see if the turtles show their heads!"
Hei Lang pondered for a moment and finally made a decision.
"Let Woodpecker lead the 2,000 Mixtec vanguard and station here. I will lead another 2,000 warriors from my headquarters to hide in this area and be ready for an ambush."
"Two days later, Tupa, you will lead five thousand people to march eastward and attack Hewan Village!...I want to see how long they can endure!"
