Chapter 710: Temporary Ceasefire During the Peak of the Rainy Season
The setting sun reflected in the mighty river, giving the ripples on the river a sparkling blood color. If you look carefully, the blood color is real! The bright red color spreads in the river, and along with the bodies floating away, records the fight that just ended.
"Tsk tsk! When these tribal alliances fight, they always lack the energy to fight to the death. Well, it's not even as good as the crazy energy of the militiamen who resisted when we attacked Wushan City and the Ancient City of Feathered Serpent!"
The black wolf Toltec stood by the river, looking far down the river to the north. There, more than a dozen canoes, loaded with escaped tribal leaders, were sailing quickly into the distance.
"It's a pity that the kingdom doesn't have a navy here, but these tribal leaders with pointed hats can escape with their lives!"
"Boss, it is precisely because these tribal leaders escaped that the remaining tribal warriors were defeated so easily. Anyway, only sixty or seventy people escaped, which had no impact on the kingdom's war situation."
Tupa, holding a copper ax and covered in blood, stood beside the Black Wolf coach. He still had a smile on his face, as if the fight just now was just an insignificant game.
On the river bank behind him, the corpses of Totonac warriors were piled on top of each other, lying down randomly, many with their backs facing up. They died in the massacre after the defeat. Further away, more than a thousand surrendered soldiers from the Tsuya Castle and Hatori Castle abandoned their weapons and knelt down on the muddy ground by the river. On the periphery of the surrendered troops, there were thousands of kingdom legions, with spears like a forest, tightly surrounding them.
At this moment, dozens of Mexican warriors, wearing armor and leading troops, were selecting from the large circle of prisoners. From time to time, prisoners who were seriously injured and unable to move, leaders with feathers on their heads, and warriors who resisted in anger were selected and placed in small circles nearby. This is the practice of the Black Wolf Legion in selecting prisoners. Those in a large circle will live, and those in a small circle will die.
And it won't be long before the surrendered soldiers in the large circle will take action under the supervision of the warriors, execute everyone in the small circle, and submit the first certificate of surrender for betraying the clan and betraying the gods.
"After fighting this way, I have a clear idea of the nature of the Totonak tribe's army! Their performance in defending the city is much better than in field battles, and their will to fight near their hometown is far stronger than that in other places. Bang support!”
"Huh? Defending a city is better than fighting in the field, and local people are better than foreigners?"
Hearing Tupa's words, Black Wolf was slightly startled and thoughtful. He frowned and thought silently for a while before murmuring softly to himself.
"God bless you! In this way, let the Totonak tribes gather one by one from the jungle coast hundreds of miles away to the Golden Bay City, and then deal with them. This strategy may be far better than the legions traveling thousands of miles. It would be much easier to attack them one by one. Maybe I should ask His Highness."
"Ah? Boss, what did you say? What is your inquiry about, Your Highness?"
Tupa blinked and looked at the leader, with a look of thought on his face.
"It's okay! Tupa, go and see the wounded brothers and count the number of casualties. After the surrendered soldiers have handed in their surrender certificates, they will cut off the heads of the warriors who died in the battle and bring them back to the guards of Hewan Village. Army, look at it!”
"Yes! I obey you, boss!"
Before the sun set, the casualties of both armies were tallied. On the kingdom's side, there were only more than a hundred red-haired elite casualties.
As for the reinforcements from Tsuuya Castle and Hatori Castle, with a total strength of 4,000, nearly 1,500 people died in the battle, more than 1,300 people fled, and the remaining 1,100 people were all killed. captured the prisoners of the legion in the lake. As for the fleeing enemies, most of them went to the jungles in the southwest, with almost no chance to return to the battlefield around Jinwan City. This carefully planned ambush finally came to an end with the kingdom's victory.
"Praise the Lord God! After several piecemeal efforts, we eliminated a total of seven thousand Totonak coalition forces and destroyed the main force of the three tribes! And the number of surrendered troops controlled by the legion not only did not decrease, but increased by one thousand!"
After counting the casualties, Tupa's face beamed with joy. In his opinion, the goddess who symbolizes victory has lifted her skirt and invited the brave warriors of the kingdom to enter bravely.
"No, not seven thousand."
Hearing this, Black Wolf shook his head, looked upstream to the south, and pointed.
"That's 10,000 people! Before the peak of the rainy season arrives, one-third of Totonac's 30,000 coalition troops will be wiped out!"
The sun sets, and blood saturates the sky and earth. Tupa suddenly understood. He nodded with a smile and bowed.
"Yes! It's up to you, boss!"
One day later, a thousand Totonak heads were piled in front of Hewan Village. The captured tribal warriors shouted loudly, telling the defenders in Hewan Village that there was no possibility of reinforcements arriving. Then, after shaking the morale of the defenders, the more brutal siege battle began in earnest.
More than 3,000 warriors from the headquarters pressed the formation, and 1,000 archers were assigned to cover it. Nearly five thousand surrendered troops were divided into five thousand-man battalions. Under the supervision of the red-haired hunters, they pressed forward one by one and charged towards the village with all their might!
The black wolf had no expression on his face, watching the waves of surrendered soldiers dying in battle, and watching the same Totonak blood stain the entire camp by the river. It was not until two days later that Hewan Village was completely occupied. The five thousand troops who attacked the city had surrendered, and a total of fifteen hundred people had been killed! Among the 3,000 Coyote City soldiers who defended the city, only more than 400 people escaped from the water with their lives under the guidance of the fleet, and the remaining 2,600 people were all killed in the battle.
In fact, when the surrender troops invaded the camp, hundreds of thousands of defenders laid down their weapons and surrendered. But at this time, the soldiers who attacked the city had already suffered heavy casualties, and their eyes were completely red. They spared no effort and slaughtered all the surrendered Coyotes, leaving almost no one alive.
Red blood flowed from the Hewan Village all the way to the river, dyeing the river water again. After the venting of the killing, the blood-stained surrendered soldiers cried and screamed, howling like wolves, as if crazy!
General Black Wolf stood on the hill and watched the killing in the camp calmly. He neither stopped it beforehand nor punished it afterwards. The peak of the rainy season is coming, the transportation of food will become difficult, and large-scale battles will stop. At this time, the Kingdom Army does not need to have another thousand mouths to eat. Even this siege will be so urgent and the casualties are so tragic, it can be said that it is intentional.
"Kill, kill, kill! Kill them all! Awooo! Awooo!"
Bursts of crazy screaming wolf howls came from the Hewan Village and fell into the ears of General Black Wolf. His cold expression moved slightly, and he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly.
"Ha! This batch of wolf cubs has finally been raised!"
A few days later, dark clouds came from the eastern sky, covering the vast Golden Bay. Soon, heavy rain came. The wind and rain were connected like beads, without any resistance, drowning the warring parties and stopping all the fighting. This is the power of nature! The rainy season in July finally arrived first on the lowland seashore!
