In later generations, Fonseca Bay was named "Dasheng Bay" by Chen Li.

Several rivers flow into the bay, each of which washes out the delta, each inhabited by an Indian tribe.

However, the Spaniards, although they claimed to occupy the area, were clearly inadequate. Most of the tribes around the bay were unaware of the existence of white people, let alone experienced the cruelty of the colonists.

Even to a certain extent, the Spanish colonists were their benefactors!

Because before the fall of the Aztec Empire, they invaded small tribes all over the country all year round, not only robbing food and people, but also often taking prisoners back and sacrificing them with living people. After the Spanish ruled the area, the small tribes on the margins became happy, and they did not have to live in fear of being invaded all day long.

Chen Li's plan of "King Wu Defeat" was obviously difficult to carry out in the "Great Victory Bay", and only more than 1,000 natives were willing to follow him to fight. Combined with the capture gained in three battles, a total of 3,800 servants can be pulled.

"The intelligence is already very clear, the main force of Guatemala has been almost completely wiped out by us," Chen Li analyzed with a smile, "The Spaniards came there in four years, and it was only one year to build the city and set up the governor's palace." There are a lot of merchants and craftsmen there, but no matter how many there are, it will not be difficult for us to attack the Spanish estates along the way, and we can also rescue many slaves, and take Guatemala. ”

Lu Fang said: "You have to fight, there is a silver mine there!" ”

"Strike the silver mines first," Zhou Hong said, "and free the slave miners, and you can increase the number of troops a lot." ”

Lin Dasheng also geared up: "The Spaniards discovered the silver mine for a year, and it is estimated that a lot of it has been mined, and if it is not shipped away, it will all be ours!" ”

Going northwest, more than 700 miles from Chenli, Guatemala is home to the world's second-largest silver mine – a figure a few hundred years later that is not accurate at this time, as many of the Americas' silver mines have been emptied.

Walking to the northeast, more than 200 miles away from Chen Li, there are no Spaniards for the time being. However, it was later named Tegucigalpa, which literally translates to "Silver Mountain" in the indigenous language!

Of course, Chen Li didn't know about the existence of the "silver mountain", he only knew that there were silver mines in Guatemala, and they were determined to fight it.

And it is necessary to send troops as soon as possible, because in three months it will be the rainy season, and it will be difficult to march in the rain all day long, and the non-combat attrition will be multiplied.

A group of sailors was brought from the ship, and the troops were again replenished to eight hundred. A few more gunners were brought in, and they set out with 4 captured cannons and 20 cannons removed from the ship, accompanied by 3,800 native friendly troops.

All the swords and leather armor seized were given to the natives. Then he brought 500 iron axes from the ship, and all of them were given to the natives, and they could also cut down trees to build camps during the war - don't complain about the number of iron axes, the story of Tan Haibo exchanging iron axes for gold is widely spread, Chen Li brought thousands of iron axes to sea this time, and the other hundreds were left for the immigrants.

The two tribal leaders were very happy and followed Chen Li to fight wholeheartedly. These natives are very simple, and if you give them benefits, they will reciprocate.

The military rations are not very sufficient, at most thirty days at most.

But Chen Li was very generous and let the natives eat all the way open. Those natives who were captured were also grateful to Chen Li, because the treatment was so good, and they also worked hard for Chen Li wholeheartedly.

After the burned town of Sugototo, about a few dozen miles further, you will again encounter a plantation where slaves worked.

Kill whites, emancipate slaves, loot grain...... All the way to Guatemala, the more food was grabbed, and the indigenous servant army fought more and more, and the strength of the indigenous army exceeded 5,000 people!

Unfortunately, the closer you get to your destination, the less you can grab.

Those plantation owners were frightened, and took their families, goods, and slaves to drive away in advance, and burned down those who couldn't take them away, and even played with Chen Li to clear the wilderness.

……

The full name of the governor of Guatemala was very long, because the aristocracy kept intermarrying and liked to throw the bullish surname in, and the older the family name, the longer the family name.

Here, for the time being, the governor is referred to as de Todos.

This viceroy is also not worthy of the name, the first level of the viceroy is in Mexico, the "viceroy of New Spain". The Viceroy of Guatemala was a second-class viceroy, also translated as a governor, overseer, and was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Viceroy of New Spain, Mexico.

However, the king did not trust the Mexican voters, and set up a second-level governor to divide power, which was actually a blatant seizure of power, and the whole of Central America except Panama was carnied.

In Cuba, Panama and other regions, the gold and silver treasures obtained were customarily divided in half with the king.

And Mexico, only give the king a fifth, what do you say the king should think? In another twenty or thirty years, the king would be free to take Mexico into his own hands, and send officials cross-mail, so that the colonies would not even want to rebel.

De Todos had only come to the Americas the previous year, having been ordered by the king to establish the Viceroyalty of Guatemala and to set about the creation of Guatemala City, with the main responsibility of mining the silver mines there.

In one month, Detodos killed the local colonial leader, and another three months completely took power. As he built the city, he wrote letters back to his homeland, using the news of the silver mines to attract more adventurers and merchants.

As soon as there were some achievements, the town of Sugototo next door was attacked.

He must send troops to the rescue, because the town of Sugototo, which has less than a thousand inhabitants, is already the largest town in the Viceroyalty of Guatemala! There are two or three other small towns of the same size, but de Todos is difficult to govern effectively, because the terrain of Central America is too complex, and transportation is a problem second only to the climate.

"Damn Fred Gonda!" Detodos scolded.

The general of the reinforcements is the brother-in-law of His Excellency the Governor, and he is the right-hand man he brought from the country. Let this guy go out with sixty percent of his troops to fight hundreds of Chinese, but the whole army was wiped out, and only more than twenty people escaped!

Priest Marat said: "Your Excellency, it is not time to blame anyone, but to replenish the formation of the army. Several plantations in the south were destroyed by the Chinese, and their target was Guatemala. ”

Drawing a cross on his chest, Detodos said: "It is now possible to form a true army only by the power of God. Please! ”

Father Marat was authorized and immediately ran to brainwash everyone—

Guatemala is a God-given land, and an army of infidels is approaching to destroy it completely. The people of the all-knowing and all-powerful Lord, adventurers, merchants, artisans, and soldiers, should unite to win this war against the infidels. This is a test from God!

Don't talk about any countries and nationalities, that thing didn't work in the Age of Discovery, and the Western colonizers could only use religion and interests to inspire war enthusiasm.

A large number of merchants and adventurers wandered away, they had only come from Spain, Cuba, and Haiti when they learned that there were silver mines in the area, and they were about to go to war before they could sit on their butts.

The rest of the people were all agitated, clamoring to send the heretics to hell.

Guatemala City at this time was not Guatemala City in later generations, and the distance between the two was about 90 miles. The colonists came here for a total of four years, and announced that the city had only been built for one year, not to mention the stone walls, not even the earthen walls.

They didn't need a city wall, because they didn't need defense, they just chased the natives and built a wooden fence to guard against wild beasts.

There are no more permanent residents here than in the town of Sugototo. However, the silver mines attracted a large number of merchants and adventurers, and the king sent 800 regular troops to the governor, which was considered the most powerful military in Central America.

After the loss of more than 1,000 troops, the governor and priests flickered, and Guatemala's strength again approached 2,000 (not including the natives).

It's just that the combat power is worrying, and most of them are adventurers, craftsmen and civilians.

These two thousand troops, and some guards were also assigned to guard the silver mines.

The governor de Todos was very worried, and he knew that he would build a castle, and without the protection of the castle, he was a nobleman who was insecure.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the heretics are here!" The adjutant came to report.

With the assistance of his servants, Detodos laboriously put on his plate armor, and was supported by his subordinates to mount his horse and lead his recruited troops out of the city to meet him.

You can't fight a city defense battle because there are too many holes in the defense. Once either side is breached, the enemy can simply set fire to this motley force and break the morale of this motley force.

Even, the silver mines of Detodos were gone, the troops from that side were called back, and even the slave miners were brought in to fight. Moreover, he solemnly promised to restore the freedom of these slaves as long as the battle was won.

The natives are very easy to deceive, and if they try and test, they can form a large number of servant armies by giving a little benefit at will.

Before the Spanish side had completed the formation, the Han Chinese and indigenous coalition troops suddenly retreated, retreating a few miles to build a camp in the mountains. They had traveled a long way, and they had to rest so that they wouldn't run to war right away.

On the first day, the two sides met each other.

On the second and third days, there was a truce.

On the fourth day, the two armies were deployed separately.

The Han army is 800 people, and the indigenous friendly army is 5,200 people.

The Spanish army consisted of 1,800 and the indigenous servant army of 7,000.

Chen Li held up the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, and was suddenly speechless: "These white dogs are really big-hearted, they enslave the natives like they do on weekdays, and they dare to bring thousands of natives to fight for themselves." ”

Lu Fang said with a smile: "Then there is no need to sneak attack the silver mine, and directly plot against the enemy natives here." ”

Chen Li raised his knife and laughed: "Lao Tzu is going to teach the white dogs a lesson today, so that they know what the battle of Muye is!" ”

"What's the war?" Lin Dasheng hadn't heard of it either.

Zhou Hong said: "You pirate, you don't know a few big characters, so you should read more often." Zhang Liao fought Xiaoyaojin and killed Sun Quan, and the place was called Muye. ”

"Fart, that's obviously Hefei!" Lin Dasheng retorted.

It's a pity that there is no "Romance of the Gods" at this time, let alone the battle of Muye, and the rough embryos don't even know about the martial king.

Chen Li didn't bother to explain, and directly ordered: "Set up a rejection horse and slowly advance!" ”

Five hundred iron axes played a huge role, and Chen Li made a large number of simple rejection horses, which were carried by the soldiers and slowly advanced. Once the opponent has cavalry, immediately place it around, and at the same time can barely stop the opponent's foot attack.

To tell the truth, the two sides combined, a battle of more than 10,000 people, who wins and who loses depends on the organizational strength.

Nonsense, there are the most natives on both sides, and the natives will not listen to military orders once they start fighting, and Han Xin can only be fucking blind in his second life.

De Todos also had a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and he commanded: "We have forty cavalry, looking for an opportunity to crush the opposing native forces." The infantry also focused on attacking the opposing natives, as long as they caused chaos, they could rout the enemy's entire army, and there was nothing to fear from those hundreds of Chinese soldiers. Artillery ready! ”

The governor brought ten cannons from Spain, but Chen Li snatched four of them, and now only six remain.

The six small cannons were slowly pushed out, and Chen Li's side also uncovered the cannon clothing, and the twenty-four small cannons suddenly showed their fangs.

"God!"

De Todos exclaimed, the other party actually dismantled the ship's guns and brought them over to fight. This kind of Franc carrier-borne small cannon is not heavy, four people can carry it away, the sea bombardment is not very powerful, and it is very terrifying to shoot at the natives.

The two sides are getting closer and closer, and they are almost within the range of artillery.

Suddenly, Chen Li sent more than a dozen henchmen to run wildly in front of the battle and shouted: "Let go of the rejection of the horse, let go of the rejection of the horse!" ”

Even after communicating in advance, most of the natives were at a loss, some continued to walk forward, and some put down their horses with suspicious eyes. The formation, which was barely neat, instantly became uneven, and the natives didn't know what to do.

After a moment's tossing, the whole army finally stopped advancing, while the Spanish army continued to advance slowly.

Thirty clever natives were selected in advance, ran to the open space in front of the battle, and shouted at the top of their throats:

"I am the warrior of the Blue Crow tribe, the white man killed our people, and the warriors on the opposite side all united to kill the white man!"

"Kill all the whites and take back our forests and land!"

“……”

Chen Li was speechless, anxious about the intelligence of the natives.

Yesterday, I trained countless times, and let them shout together, but when they were in battle, they became each shouting their own voices, not only did they not work together to make the sound louder, but they interfered with each other. The distance between the two armies is so far that shouting like this is useless, and the natives on the opposite side can't hear it clearly.

Luckily, there are ancillary options.

There were also two hundred natives, carrying more than a dozen huge wooden sticks, all of which were tribal totems destroyed by Spain, and the trees were cut down by the first two days of fighting, and were driven out by the indigenous slaves who surrendered.

The results were immediate!

The natives are so familiar with their own tribal totems that they can be vaguely recognizable by their silhouettes, even if they are too far away to see clearly.

In an instant, many slave armies were agitated. The Spanish cavalry, which had planned to go around, was immediately sent to suppress and kill more than a dozen slave soldiers in succession.

"Fire!"

"Charge the whole army!"

Seeing this, Chen Li immediately put away the clairvoyant mirror and let the artillery that was not in range fire a salvo. Artillery is not used to kill the enemy, but to help, and the indigenous allies rushed forward as if they had been buffed when they heard the cannon.

And the slave army on the opposite side, hearing the sound of Chinese artillery, also seemed to break free from the shackles of the soul, and was suddenly full of the spirit of resistance.

These natives are afraid of war horses, artillery, and muskets.

The Spaniards had these three things, the slaves' rebellion was always suppressed, and gradually from the bottom of their hearts they resigned themselves to fate, and they did not dare to revolt when they were enslaved and slaughtered. And the enemy actually has cannons and magical powers, so what are they afraid of white people for?

More and more slaves turned against each other, and finally the army of 7,000 slaves was all killed by the white army around them.

Chen Li laughed loudly: "Haha, Lao Tzu is the Martial King today!" ”
