The ruins and ruins of the walls were all burned, and all the houses were burned down into piles of black charcoal ashes, and as far as the eye could see, the entire village was burned to the ground, and it was desolate and ruined.

At first glance, it was clear that the village had been invaded by foreign enemies.

The prince's face turned pale for a moment, and he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately ran into the village......

Ying Zheng and others also hurriedly followed.

As soon as I arrived in the village, I saw that the village was full of corpses.

These corpses were men and women, old and young. On the ground, in the ashes of houses, mutilated corpses can be seen everywhere.

As far as the eye can see, this village has become a living purgatory!

"The Alpine tribe, it must have been done by the Alpine tribe!" Seeing such a tragic situation, the prince couldn't help but say angrily.

Not only the prince and the people of Shaohao were angry, but even the soldiers of Great Qin were also angry.

Because Shaohao is already considered to be the territory of Great Qin, and the people of the Yin Shang tribe also belong to the Chinese nation, everyone has the same yellow skin and the blood of the same ancestor.

Now, his compatriots have been so brutally slaughtered and annihilated by foreigners, but all the Chinese sons and daughters who have a trace of blood will feel extremely sad and indignant about this.

Meng Tian looked at the tragic situation in front of him, and he was also shocked and angry, this kind of scene of slaughtering the village had never been seen in Daqin.

At that moment, Meng Tian asked the prince: "Is the Gaoshan tribe Shaohao's biggest enemy?" ”

The prince nodded: "The Gaoshan tribe lives in the high mountains south of my Shaohao, because it is not conducive to planting corn, so they often go down the mountain to plunder the villages outside my Shaohao city and kill my people. ”

"Alpine tribes...... I will let his blood pay for it and slaughter them all! ”

Ying Zheng on the side was furious, and the killing intent was strong.

To be honest, although Ying Zheng knew that Shao Hao was bullied by foreigners in this place, he never dreamed that this Huaxia tribe overseas would have such a miserable experience.

As soon as he was in Hao, he saw such a tragic scene.

Slaughtering people, women and children, and burning a village to the ground is unheard of in Daqin, which is simply cruel and inhumane!

In Ying Zheng's view, this is no longer plunder, but a complete extermination and massacre.

If Shao Hao didn't return to Great Qin, it would be fine, and now that Shao Hao is already the territory of Great Qin, these massacre villagers are also Chinese compatriots, then Ying Zheng must make the mountain tribe pay the price of blood.

Therefore, Ying Zheng decided to return blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and slaughter it all in order to relieve the hatred in his heart!

First, it is to avenge the dead villagers; Second, it is also to let all the foreign races on this continent know that those who slaughter our Huaxia people will bear the wrath of the Great Qin Empire!

Having seen the strength of the Great Qin Empire, the prince did not have the slightest doubt about Yingzheng's words.

It's just that at this time, what he cares about is not how to take revenge, but the safety of Shaohao City.

Last autumn, when they left Shaohao, the Gaoshan tribe was in contact with all parties, preparing to attack Shaohao after the beginning of spring, and now that the village has been slaughtered, it is clear that they have already taken action against Shaohao.

In particular, judging from the village in front of me, it was not a recent crime, it should have been three or four months.

That is to say, if it was really at the beginning of spring, the Gaoshan tribe began to attack Shaohao, then now that three or four months have passed, it is not certain whether Shaohao is still alive.

Thinking of this, the prince hurriedly said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the village has been slaughtered, and Shaohao City must have been attacked by the Gaoshan tribe, and I hope Your Majesty can rush to help as soon as possible." ”

"I hope Your Majesty will rush to the aid of Shaohao City as soon as possible." Shaohao Prime Minister Yin Jili was also anxious, bowed down, and begged together.

Ying Zheng naturally understood that Shaohao's situation at this time was not optimistic, so he immediately ordered Meng Tian: "Leave a battalion of soldiers to guard the boat, bury the corpses of the villagers, and the rest of the army immediately rush to the aid of Shaohao City!" ”

"Whoa!"

Meng Tian received the order.

Soon, 30,000 Qin troops, after leaving 3,000 people, quickly rushed towards Shaohao City......

In fact, although it is said that it is rushing to help Shaohao City, everyone knows in their hearts that Shaohao City is still there at this time, and it is still unknown.

…………

Shaohao City.

It is located in the region of Guatemala, which is now Mexico in Central America.

If Li Yang was there, he could roughly guess that the place where the Daqin fleet docked was actually the port of San Jose in Guatemala.

After all, for Li Yang in later generations, the port of San Jose is the largest port of call for cargo and cruise ships on the Pacific side of the Central American country. The port was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979 for preserving a large number of Baroque buildings, and is known as a jewel of the American colony.

If you take a one-hour drive through the Guatemalan countryside in Puerto San José, you'll reach a Mayan ruins in the western highlands at an altitude of 1,500 meters, which was the ancient capital of the Maya.

And in the later generations, this Mayan ruin, which is less than 100 miles away from the port of San Jose, there is a city at this time, called Shaohao City, where tens of thousands of Yin merchants live.

That's right, the location of Shaohao City at this time is the location of the Mayan capital in later generations.

The Mayan civilization was a modern jungle civilization that was found in the modern countries of southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Belize.

Mayan history is divided into the Preclassic period (1500 BC – 300 AD), the Classic period (c. 4th century to the 9th century) and the Postclassic period (c. 9th century to the 16th century).

The pre-classical period is also known as the formative period, the invention of the calendar and writing, the establishment of monuments and the construction of buildings are all in this period, and the Shaohao country, the Yin Shang tribe, belongs to this Mayan pre-classical period at this time.

Shaohao City, built on a high ground.

This plateau is a flat surface, with an area of about ten square kilometers, and a city made of long boulders has miraculously risen from the ground on this ten square kilometers of high ground.

In this Shaohao City, Yin merchants built huge buildings of astonishing scale.

Temples, palaces, pyramids, observatories, and huge squares......

The majestic palace is all made of huge rocks, and the hall is nearly hundreds of meters long and 100 meters wide. On the stones, there are also various stone carvings made of elaborate patterns, which are splendid.

The temple, in particular, stands majestically with thousands of huge stone pillars.

The altar and pyramid are all made of huge stones, dozens of meters high, towering in the city.

All this makes people feel that this is an extraordinary nation!

It's just that this Yin Shang tribe, which has been inherited here for thousands of years, this Shaohao City with a brilliant civilization, has fallen into a war at this time.

Just half a year ago, the Gaoshan tribe contacted the Sara tribe and the Wado tribe, and the three tribes formed a coalition army, with a total of 50,000 troops to attack Shaohao.

Shaohao was outnumbered, so he had to hold on to the city.

After being besieged for four months in a row, Shaohao City is now full of holes and heavy casualties.

The huge square in the city was already full of corpses killed in battle.

The originally solid city wall has also become a ruined wall, and the entire Shaohao City is full of smoke and fires everywhere.

If it weren't for the Qin crossbow given to them by Xu Fu, the envoy of Great Qin, Shaohao City would have been destroyed for a long time.

However, even so, now Shaohao City can no longer have the strength to hold on.

The original 20,000 defenders, who had long been killed and wounded, had been relying on the people of the city to hold on to the city walls for a month, including the women and concubines.

It is for this reason that the recent casualties have been even worse, with thousands of casualties killed and wounded every day.

Everyone in the city knows that Shao Hao is really going to die!

The cloud of death hangs over everyone's head, and everyone's eyes are full of endless despair......

"Abandon the city, king, and let us flee!"

On the city wall, a minister couldn't help but look panicked when he saw that the enemy troops outside the city were about to start a new round of attacks.

King Shaohao, over sixty years old, wearing a robe, holding the king's power, standing on the city wall, looking at the enemy army attacking again under the city, but his eyes were confused, and he seemed to no longer care about his life and death.

"King, if you don't run away, it's too late for the city to be broken!" The man said urgently.

The king still looked out of the city, as if he were not listening.

It wasn't until a long time later that the old king withdrew his gaze, sighed, and turned to the minister, "Escape? Where do you go when you escape from the city? ”

The minister was stunned and speechless for a while.

Yes, this is the home of the Yin merchants.

After leaving Shaohao City, where can he and the others go?

Everyone around him became dead at this time.

The king turned to an old man who was enforcing the law, "Priest, reinforcements...... Can you still come? ”

A priest is a person who is responsible for presiding over religious ceremonies.

Especially in the Shaohao tribe, the priest represents the "son of the sun" (son of Shaohao), usually a respected elder. The priests could foretell good fortune, direct agricultural production, and preside over large and small sacrifices, and the king would often ask the priests for advice, and the priests would use their knowledge to find the best answers possible.

To tell the truth, most of the buildings in Shaohao City, except for some palaces, are in the hands of priests. Thus, the priesthood was completely detached from productive activities, but directly involved in the management of the clan, and its social influence was no less than that of the nobles with noble blood.

It can even be said that the status of the priests, higher than that of most nobles, is only below the king.

The priest's appearance was a little scary, with a pair of cloudy white pupils on his old face. Wearing a large stack of necklaces made of pottery, wild boar tusks, jade plaques and other items around his neck, and holding a magic battle, when he heard the king's question, he closed his eyes that seemed to be blind, and then the whole person trembled, his head shook wildly, and his mouth was full of words, as if he was dancing a great god.

After reading for a while, the priest suddenly stopped, a pair of all-white pupils opened, looked outside the city, and said: "Come, Shaohao Heavenly God guided his son, and came with thousands of troops and horses!" ”

"Shao Hao's son of the gods?" When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

The priest said: "The son of Shaohao Heavenly God, the current leader of my Sun Tribe, he is here, he is about to arrive!" ”

"The Emperor of Great Qin?" One of the ministers asked.

Yes, the reinforcement they had been waiting for was Great Qin, and that was their only hope.

The priest nodded, "Yes, it's him." ”

When everyone heard this, they were both surprised and delighted.

Because they didn't expect that the priest would actually say that the emperor of Great Qin had come in person.

The old king, who was originally in a daze, heard this, his eyes flashed instantly, and he hurriedly shouted to everyone in the city: "The priest said that the god Shaohao sent his son, and the Emperor of Great Qin brought thousands of troops and horses to save us!" Everyone hold the city, as soon as the Great Qin Emperor arrives, victory will be ours! ”

"Son of the god Shaohao? Emperor Daqin is coming? ”

"Hoo ......"

Immediately, everyone cheered.

In Shaohao City, no one believes the words of the priest.

All of a sudden, the originally desperate subjects of Shaohao rekindled their hopes......
