Chapter 706 Black Wolf Seeking Stability

The June rain was filled with wind and thunder, and the soft earth gradually became muddy. The farmland along the river is growing vigorously, and the water level of the river is gradually rising. However, on the west bank of the Adobe River, in the once prosperous Golden Bay, small-scale fights and fights were constantly breaking out around the villages. The blood bloomed, the dust and mud buried it, fresh vitality was injected into the farmland between the jungles, and more fertilizer was buried under the corn beside the river.

"Ha! The current situation is that a large group of monkeys gathered together, holding rocks, and occupying the big trees for defense. They really cannot rush the battle against the oncoming Langjin Bay City!"

The black wolf Toltec was fully armed, holding a copper axe, and led thousands of canine elites, walking on the narrow dirt road. It was very hot on the beach in July. Even if he was only wearing a piece of leather armor, Black Wolf was sweating profusely. 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 main troops 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, launched an unexpected ambush by luring the enemy, and severely damaged the Jihu City headquarters. From the prisoners' mouths, he obtained the details of the east-west coalition forces in Totonac.

The black wolf hurried southward, and even personally scouted and killed. 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 this 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 from this headquarters, To suppress the surrender 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 Golden Bay City and fight a decisive battle with the 30,000 Totonak coalition forces! But now, among the troops in his hands, there are only 4,000 headquarters, 2,000 miscellaneous troops, and more than half of the remaining troops are unreliable Totonac troops.

"Five or six thousand local troops are sent down to fight with the wind, or under the supervision of the samurai of the headquarters, to fight a siege with superior troops. There will be no problem with morale! But if you bring these people, and the superior troops with the entrusted troops, there will be no problem. The Tonak coalition will collapse in a decisive battle, and even our own warriors will suffer! "

Hei Lang was old enough to fight, and he simply couldn't trust the newly surrendered tribe to surrender their troops. In large-scale formation battles, those surrendered troops with low morale will not be able to hold on for long if they do not have sufficient strength advantage. Once the surrendered troops 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's just 6,000 headquarters plus miscellaneous forces, fighting against 30,000 coalition forces, the winning rate will be higher than bringing 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 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, Hei Lang'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 was precisely with this possibility in mind that Black Wolf shrank the troops outside Jinwan City to the Shehu Village camp, breaking away from the intensive contact around Jinwan City. Then, he detached a partial division, led by Tupa, and brought an artillery battalion to the southeast to attack the outskirts of Jinwan City, Zonglin Village.

"Going Deeper to the Southeast. Logistics of Jinwan City, a large adobe village in the forest"

The black wolf was thinking and looking ahead, which was the dirt road in the forest to the southeast. This dirt road is only two or three meters wide, and is 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, and it is still very difficult for the army to pass! "

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 mountains and forests in between, and large armies can pass through. Therefore, the Legion can move faster and be more flexible. However, in the Totonak lowlands, 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 crude roads can also be regarded as fixed communication lines for the army. All large-scale battles will occur around roads and villages.

"Of course, in this jungle lowland on the Totonak coast, the river and sea roads are more suitable for large armies to pass!"

Black Wolf paused, tilted his head and looked into the distance. At this point, the direction of Jinwan City has changed from due east to northeast. It is about 30 miles northeast, on a plain where the river and the sea meet. To the north of Jinwan City is the coast extending from east to west, and to the east of Jinwan City is the adobe river extending from north to south.

"The coast connects the east and the west, and the river connects the north and the south. The troops and food supported by the Totonac tribes in the southeast, northwest, and northeast can all be easily gathered in Jinwan City. The navy of the alliance does not have enough advantages to cut off the river and sea access to Jinwan City."

Thinking of this, Black Wolf narrowed his eyes and became more certain of his plan.

"We can't fight directly in Jinwan City. We have to lure out these messy coastal tribes one by one and solve them on the periphery! I want to see if the Totonac coalition forces can still sit still after the detachment goes around and penetrates deep into the rear, threatening the rear and revealing an opportunity to take advantage of."

"In addition to dividing the coalition forces and luring them to defeat, there is another more important goal. Try to cut off the rear of Jinwan City until you control the Adobe River. No matter how difficult it is, no matter how many people die!"

Black Wolf sorted out his thoughts and became ruthless. He didn't say anything, but his steps became more rapid. The surrounding dog elites also ran fast, without stopping.

However, two quarters of an hour later, thick black smoke rose in the forest ahead, foreshadowing the bloody fire of the fight. Then, near the dirt road, a lot of blood, dead bodies, and broken stone spears began to appear. Everything indicated that the cruel battlefield was not far ahead.

After a while, the wind blew the pungent smell of ash and the lingering faint smoke of gunpowder, blending with the strong smell of blood. The palm trees beside the dirt road also became sparse, and the sky became brighter, and then suddenly brightened.

Black Wolf was refreshed and walked out of the edge of the jungle. Then, a small lake, reflecting the nearby hills and the camp on the hills, came into his sight.

"Good! Very good! Praise the Lord! The Palm Forest Village, we are finally here!"
