Chapter 696: Three-Pronged Attack to Destroy the New City of Snake
"Praise the Lord God, praise His Highness, praise the wise Captain of the Black Wolf Army!"
"I listen to you, brave Black Wolf Chief!"
"If you say so, we will know what to do! Hoho!"
The drizzle stopped, and the sun emerged from the clouds, illuminating the endless Caribbean Sea. The generals on the beach faced the sun and raised their hands to swear an oath. They shouted loudly, their voices shaking the sky, and expressed their obedience to the wise black wolf Toltec.
The words of General Black Wolf, "Distinguish friends from enemies," are actually a program of action with clear goals. After listening to this, the generals had a rough idea of how to deal with the conquered Totonak tribe, and what exactly to do with the different classes in the tribe.
"Very good! Kill our enemies and treat our friends well. This is the foundation of our foundation! Praise the Lord God! Wow!"
Black Wolf looked around at everyone, raised his head and roared with satisfaction. There was a determined and cold look in his eyes, like a ruthless alpha wolf in the snow. Then, the alpha wolf looked stern, grinned, and showed his sharp teeth.
"Next, we have to divide our troops into three groups! All the way around the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl, we will clean up all the Totonak camps and villages within a radius of sixty miles, and bring them all under our direct control. All the way north, along the coast, and conquer the areas along the way. Let them cultivate with peace of mind until they can go two hundred and fifty miles north, open a water and land road to Wastek Crow City, and establish contact with the Silver Crow Tribe! "
"The last route is the main force of the army, which goes south to attack the Totonac coalition, attacks the weak and dispersed units, burns down distant villages, and forcibly relocates civilians until they reach the gates of Jinwan City, a hundred and fifty miles away!"
Upon hearing such an ambitious plan, the faces of the generals showed eagerness to try, like a pack of wolves eager to hunt. They bowed their heads, raised their ears, and listened to the specific arrangements of the alpha wolf.
"Red Monkey Ozoma, I will give you a thousand Guaquili Legion to preside over the cleanup around the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl! Rich Woodpecker, you choose a thousand Stek warriors. Wood Lizard, you also choose five hundred Toto Nak warrior Red Monkey, these fifteen hundred warriors are all handed over to you to participate in the cleaning of the sixty-mile radius! And when the cleaning is completed, they will be the first batch to grant land and slaves around the Feathered Serpent City! "
Hearing this, the militia leader Hong Er's expression changed drastically. He couldn't help but take a step forward, knelt down humbly, and prayed to the powerful Black Wolf Chief.
"Dear Chief Black Wolf, there are actually many villages within a radius of sixty miles that all support the Alliance and have the Lord God in their hearts!"
Hei Lang raised his brows and looked at Hong Er for a while, then he understood in his heart.
The 3,000 militiamen who surrendered under Hong'er were generally from the surrounding villages within 60 miles, which was a distance of one or two days' walking. Cleaning up these villages around the Feathered Serpent City will involve the vital interests of the militiamen. Therefore, Hong Er, who had always been submissive, had no choice but to come forward to appeal.
Black Wolf's thoughts were spinning and he was in no hurry to reply to Red Ear. Instead, he looked at the red monkey and asked in a deep voice.
"Red Monkey, after capturing Quetzalcoatl City, how many Dingkou were captured?"
"Reporting to the captain, in addition to the 3,000 militiamen who surrendered, we have captured approximately 7,000 young men and women! They are all under the control of the feathered serpent nobles and priests."
"Seven thousand people, that's about right. These people dared to resist the kingdom, so they were all demoted to serfs and distributed among the warriors who were about to be enfeoffed!"
With a wave of his hand, Black Wolf decided the fate of thousands of people and the promotion of various warriors.
"Three thousand Mixtec warriors and two thousand Totonak warriors were all promoted to the second-level warriors of the kingdom. They were granted fields and slaves outside the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl. Each was granted 20 acres of land and one slave. Well, that’s five thousand serfs.”
"Then, among the Mixtec warriors, six hundred and third-level warriors were selected based on military merit, and among the Totonac warriors, two hundred and third-level warriors were selected. Each of these eight hundred and three-level warriors was granted 100 acres of land. Grant 5 slaves! In total, the number of serfs is still insufficient."
Speaking of this, Hei Lang's words were stagnant and he couldn't figure it out for a moment. The red monkey assessed the situation and bowed his head respectfully to answer.
"Reporting to the captain, there are still about one or two thousand serfs left! The army captured the Feathered Serpent City, and many enemies fled. As long as we catch them from various surrounding units, we can quickly collect this number!"
"Very good! Hong'er, your three thousand militiamen will also follow Red Monkey to participate in the cleanup of various camps and villages. They are all local militiamen and know the situation in the villages very clearly. There is a radius of sixty miles. Inside, the leaders, elders and priests of each tribe were killed and sacrificed! Those who dared to resist were killed, and their children and wives were demoted to serfs! "
"Remember, let the local militia take action themselves! Then, the management of the villages will be handed over to them, allowing them to make the decision. In each village, dozens or hundreds of surrendered militiamen will be placed, and several faiths will be selected. The leader of the main god established the Mintun Village Community directly under the Kingdom! Then, their most important task is to supervise the conversion of the villagers and organize this year’s spring plowing!”
Having said this, Hei Lang raised his head and looked at the scorching sun. One advantage of the lowland seaside is that it can be farmed all year round. Therefore, even if the cleaning up of various departments is delayed for a month, there will still be time for farming in June.
"No matter what, the area around the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl must be cleaned up and turned into villages loyal to the kingdom! And as long as the surrendered militiamen have blood on their hands and gain power and wealth they never imagined, they will never be able to return. went!"
"Praise to Chief Black Wolf! You are a generous and strong jungle jaguar!"
Hearing the arrangement of the Black Wolf Chieftain, Red Ear raised his head and praised. The uneasiness on his face had disappeared, and he showed a sincere smile instead. If the Black Wolf Chieftain kept his word, the surrender of the militia this time would not only not be a disaster, but a great opportunity!
"The opportunity for the militia is the disaster for the chieftains! Haha, praise the Lord God, and turn the tables!"
Red Ear prayed devoutly, and then stood up. He subconsciously reached out and touched the sharp obsidian dagger at his waist, recalling the scene when he was forced to kill the feathered serpent priest. And the unprecedented red color flickered faintly in the depths of his eyes.
"Praise the Lord God! The second route to the north must be advanced by land and water, recruiting tribes along the way, and requisitioning canoes from various tribes until the Crow City two or three hundred miles away! The goal of this route is to open up the road without too many troops"
Black Wolf pondered for a moment and selected the general to lead the troops.
"Red Frog! I'll give you one thousand Guakili warriors and five hundred Totonac militiamen as local guides. Remember, when you go north this time, you must explore the situation along the way and send envoys to the northern tribes to ask them to pay tribute and surrender! If the Totonac people do not openly provoke, execute the kingdom's envoys, or block the marching route, do not actively attack them"
"Your first task is to establish contact with the Silver Crow Tribe and ask for food supplies from the Silver Crow Chief Papata! If Chief Papata is willing to take the initiative to send troops to the south to conquer the Totonac tribe, the large tracts of territory in the north can be handed over to him!"
Black Wolf raised his head and made a generous promise. After he sent troops from Wushan City and captured the ancient city of Feathered Serpent, the Totonac tribes along the coast were like a long snake that was cut seven inches long and was directly cut in half!
From the ancient city of Feathered Serpent to the east and south, the Eastern Totonac people occupied more than 600 miles of the coast until the Eastern Holy Land of Hidden Snake City. From the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl to the north and west, the coastal tribes within 200 miles have completely lost their divine leaders in Quetzalcoatl and have become a mess.
"Wait until all the tribes within a radius of 60 miles are cleared. Next, we will start in the north and clean up all these scattered coastal tribes! The control area in the north must be extended until it borders the Silver Crow Tribe."
Black Wolf thought for a moment, raised his head again, and looked at the generals of various tribes who bowed their heads and accepted the order. He knew clearly that in order to completely digest the two surrendered armies, he needed to continue fighting and continue to win!
"The last leg, the main force heading south, will be led by me personally! Red Deer, you lead 2,000 Guakili Legion as the central army. Woodpecker Rich, you lead 2,000 Mixtec warriors to be responsible for the inland west side. Wood Lizard, you lead the remaining 1,500 Totonac warriors to be responsible for the coastal east side. Tupa, you take ten Sun Eagle cannons as the rear army to prepare for the siege!"
"Organize all the troops and prepare to go on the expedition! In three days, we will march south in a big way to test the quality of the Totonac Eastern Coalition until we reach the city of Jinwan!"
At this point, Black Wolf raised his head and laughed. His face was full of fearless pride, and his eyes were burning with cold flames.
"If the Totonac people in the east are not prepared to defend the city, we will burn down their central temple and destroy the prosperous Jinwan City! Roar!"
Hearing such words and thinking of the prosperity of Jinwan City, the eyes of the generals of the Eastern Expedition flashed with wolf-like desire. Red Deer Masat's eyes were red. He tore open his battle suit and was the first to roar.
"Roar! Conquer Jinwan City, kill the descendants of gods and priests, and burn their temples! Women, people, and property are all ours! And this coastal land belongs to the kingdom!"
"Roar! Attack the city, kill people! Burn temples, plunder! Offer the land to the great chieftain, and offer sacrifices to the Lord God!"
The deafening roar sounded on the beach. The generals of various tribes widened their eyes, roared to the sky, and also showed their loyalty. Soon, hundreds of guards behind them roared fanatically. The desire to fight echoed on the vast seashore, foreshadowing a bloody future.
Black Wolf was full of pride and looked around at his wolf pack. No matter where the wolf pack came from, as long as they were inspired to show their bloody courage, they could be used, which was several times better than domestic dogs!
All the generals were roaring and cheering, only the red monkey Ozoma's eyes remained calm. After the shouting of the crowd subsided, he took a step forward and spoke respectfully.
"Respected Black Wolf Army Commander! Now that we have conquered the ancient city of Quetzalcoatl, this holy land of the false god should be renamed. Please give it a new name, so that this ancient land on the coast can be bathed in the glory of the Lord God!"
"A new name? Hmm."
Black Wolf touched his chin, pondered for a while, and then waved his hand and announced loudly.
"The fire in the Quetzalcoatl Temple has been extinguished. When we go back today, let the captured men take action and completely tear down the burned ancient temple! We will rebuild a glorious temple of the Lord God on the pyramid! We will bathe in the glory of the Lord God, and bring His glory to the lost Totonac tribes!"
"Praise the Supreme Lord God! The priests said that the Lord God killed the Quetzalcoatl and swallowed up His divinity and priesthood. Therefore, from now on, the new name of this ancient city will be called 'The Place Where the Lord God Killed the Quetzalcoatl', the Kingdom's Serpent-Slaying City!"
