Chapter 865: Conquering Maya
From the beginning of the last war, to this war, the Mayans came quickly, in their thoughts, this is an encounter and a sneak attack war, but in the eyes of the Ding Navy, they were discovered as early as more than 40 kilometers away, and then the fortress here calmly prepared, because of their too many people, the Ding Navy side, even the barbed wire was used.
The Mayans are not all inexperience-absorbing, and this attack is no longer as before, a swarm of charge, and even the number of nobles and civilian soldiers is a little more, but in the face of the huge generation difference, the result is no different, and even because of the appearance of barbed wire, the killing efficiency of the Ding Navy is higher.
The barbed wire itself, on the large battlefield, is not lethal, such barbed wire, the stopping force is very strong, on the premise of avoiding being stabbed, they are unnaturally concentrated in the firing range of the machine gun, so that the machine gun can be slaughtered smoothly.
60,000 people, hold on a little longer, but also 2 days, in has lost more than 30,000, the rest of the complete slaughter to suppress, the previous 20,000 people, is a lot of slave soldiers, and is a swarm of rushing forward, the final beating, more than 9 percent of the dead, before retreating.
Now, they have time to react, and they have lost about half of it, so they chose to retreat, close to 30,000 people, and fled frantically, just afraid that their father and mother would have two legs less, and see who ran faster than whom.
What they are afraid of is that the Ding Navy is capable of chasing and killing, of course, in the camp, there are about 500 cavalry, their speed, their equipment, can easily catch up with them, cover and kill, for those who escape, the probability of killing is very high, and there will be no danger.
But in the end, the Ding Navy did not chase and kill, there was no need for this, no matter what method the Maya chosen, how many people were used, how much equipment they used, under the premise of generational difference, all attacks were futile, under this premise, why bother?
Of course, there is also an idea that there is still a danger, 500 cavalry, can be covered, can once encounter the opponent's superior forces, they are not carrying heavy weapons and machine guns, they are very easy, there will be losses, at present, far away from the ocean, there is no need for them to waste people on this aspect.
No one pursued and killed, just fled, the loss was within an acceptable range, the commander of the Mayans, probably more than 30 kilometers away, stopped and gathered the army, but the 60,000 army, only a little more than 20,000 remained, almost half of the loss.
Speaking of losses, with a confused face, they couldn't figure out how the other party attacked, not a bow and arrow, it was a very terrible long-range, this long-range weapon, the lethality was too strong, and any attack was in vain until this problem was solved.
The Mayans temporarily retreated, and the camp of the Dinghai Navy also ushered in a short period of peace, they took the opportunity to start cleaning up the battlefield and began to prepare some fortifications, according to the results of the interrogation, and this time, the attack of 60,000 people, the Mayans were obviously not willing to give up, then, the next attack, will definitely continue.
However, the great confidence brought by the superior equipment still made them very calm, as far as the war wisdom shown by the Mayans, as well as the equipment used, not to mention the fortress, not to mention the thermal weapons and artillery, even if it is the current equipment of the Northern Song Dynasty forbidden army, they can easily deal with it.
There may be some losses, but there is no problem with a big victory, as long as there are no logistical problems.
Thermal weapons, for the logistics pressure is greater, if there is not enough ammunition, artillery and guns, will become burning sticks, this is the only weakness of thermal weapons, but not to mention unfamiliar with the Maya, even if you really know the weakness of thermal weapons, want to target this aspect, there is no way.
In the 11th century, the warships of the mid-to-late 19th century were taken out, as well as the artillery equivalent to the early 20th century, and the combination of the two was definitely the degree of the hegemon of the late 19th century.
A little bit of merit can get a huge overwhelming advantage, not to mention, the current all-round lead.
To tell the truth, the Indians have suffered a great deal of damage in history, in North America, they have been almost completely wiped out, only a small number of women remain, and in South and Central America, some remain, but they are no longer mainstream.
For the Indians, they experienced a more tragic situation than in history, history, when the European geography was discovered, it was in the fourteenth century, the fifteenth century, when the European combat effectiveness, it was the most, and the early Ming Dynasty army was about the same, using firearms, having artillery, and coming from far across the Atlantic.
This resulted in the fact that the colonists in the beginning, at most, had very poor power, relying on the pit and abduction, and at the beginning, they also suffered a lot of losses, that is, the Americas were large and rich enough, and these European colonists, every time, obtained a lot of benefits, which supported the great maritime discoveries of Europe and occupied the entire North and South America.
Canada, the United States, all stood on the bones of the Indians, and even Mexico did not inherit the things of the Indians, he is a civilization that has been redeveloped.
But in this era, it was only the 11th century, and the Indians were far from developing to the limit, their combat effectiveness and all aspects were far inferior, and to some extent, even if they were the peak of slave society, their combat effectiveness was nothing, let alone the Mayans.
On the one hand, it was not even the pinnacle of the slave society, but the navy was already equivalent to the strength of the great powers at the end of the 19th century, and to some extent, even above the power of the great powers.
Even the formidable Manchu Qing Dynasty bowed its head under British power around 1840, not to mention, far inferior to the Mayans of the Qing Dynasty, and even Spain and Portugal in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were able to beat them all over the ground, let alone the Dinghai Navy of this era.
With machine guns, artillery, and other equipment, the combat effectiveness of the navy will not suffer even if it is a head-on confrontation with the strongest Britain at the end of the 19th century, and the Mayans, who have not yet broken away from the slave society, did not expect that they would encounter such a terrible opponent, and they suffered a big loss at the slightest contact.
In the history of the Americas, the Mayans were able to become the hegemon of the Americas, not because of how powerful the Mayans were, but because these people on the American continent were all weak chickens, and under the pecking of weak chickens, the Mayans stood out and became the hegemon of Central America and the Americas, occupying such a huge land.
The Mayans are among the weak, the more powerful kind, not to mention facing the Dinghai Navy armed to the teeth, even if it is the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao State, or in other words, take any of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the Mayans can't beat it.
Even the armies of those feudal kingdoms can't be defeated, not to mention, now, just like the Dinghai Navy, the entire army armed to the teeth, although it is said that the Dinghai Navy sends only a small part of the army, but under the premise of the generation gap, the most feared by thermal weapons is such a manpower advantage.
The Mayans, with a population of one or two hundred million, had a large number of slaves, and entered the army, and the final result was definitely doomed.
However, this war was protracted, and the Mayans were unwilling to give up, after all, in a sense, for the Mayan aristocracy, slaves were not valuable, and no matter how many they died, they would not be concerned, which caused the consequences later.
After the second defeat, the Mayans also seemed to have a long memory, and after careful consideration, the third attack was started more than a month later, but no matter how they chose, there was a huge gap in weapons, and in the end, they still failed miserably.
I have to say that the Mayans are a very resilient people, even if they suffered heavy losses, they still did not give up, in just 6 months, a total of 7 attacks were organized, each larger than the other, 20,000, 60,000, 90,000, and finally 1, even reached 220,000, but in addition to the corpses, there was no other gain.
Even at this level of the Dinghai Navy, they have at most a harassing effect, making it impossible for the Dinghai Navy to be so comfortable, and even to many extents, they have to clean up the battlefield.
The most troublesome thing is cleaning up the battlefield, which shows how easy this war is for the navy, under the premise of 7 wars, most of which are high-intensity wars, the blow to the Mayans is huge.
The lethality of thermal weapons is undoubtedly evident here, and in just six months, in this small area, at least 400,000 unjust souls have been left, which is enough to kill them.
Maya's ruling is very tough, and in this regard, he is also an iron-headed baby, but such an iron-headed flower, in the face of an even more iron-headed iron plate, he can't keep the iron-headed head, and the strong slaughter still makes the Mayans afraid, they would never have thought that such an enemy would suffer such huge losses, they began to retreat and stopped attacking.
Even so, the 400,000 dead and wounded, even if there was gasoline incessantly burned, filled the surroundings with the smell of death.
The Ding Navy, which was going to use this place as a large forward base, chose to abandon this place, which itself is a very good port, which can connect this one and the next port, and the conditions itself are also good, and it can accommodate many ships to dock.
When 400,000 unjust souls are frozen here, when they burn all the time, so that almost all of them smell of corpses, no one can stay.
Whether it is the army in this fortress, or ordinary personnel, they are all elites, and the army has definitely been on the battlefield, even if it is an ordinary person, it is also a crew member of the exploration fleet, fighting on the vast ocean, looking for a channel, this is not something that ordinary people can do, but in only about half a year, there are 400,000 people lying on the land in front of them, and the blood almost stains the surrounding land red.
From a fertile land to a Senluo ghost, even if there is no such atmosphere, no one will dare to live here for a long time.
Taking into account the ideas of the people below, in the end, the place was moved, and not far away, about 50 kilometers away, a new port was built, and this defense system, which cost a lot of money and took time to build, was eventually abandoned.
After adjustments, especially the destruction of some institutions, this large fortress was abandoned, but even if this fortress was abandoned, for a long time, the Mayans did not dare to come over, nor did they dare to enter.
400,000 people in half a year, this number of killings, not to mention unique, for the Mayans, it was a huge blow. The Mayans didn't dare to attack, they retreated, a little panicked, they saw the strength of the Dinghai Navy, and they were also afraid of this huge sound, and the fire-breathing weapons, within the kingdom, and many things spread, about 2 months later, finally there was a final result, the Mayans chose to give in.
Of course, it was not about surrendering, how could it be easy for the Mayans to govern the iron heads, but to send people to negotiate.
The negotiation is good, the navy and combat effectiveness are far stronger than those of the Mayans, but this is powerful, but it is only strong in weapons and equipment, not in terms of real strength, and the navy is not capable, and the entire Central America, North and South America, is included in the scope of jurisdiction.
Not to mention anything else, a simple population and control is not enough, the North American continent, such a huge size, and South America, such a huge territory, even if millions of people come, it may not be able to control them all, not to mention, the total number of the current exploration fleet in the Americas is only between 450,000 and 550,000, this seemingly large population, for controlling a country and continent, is too little.
With such a huge territory, it has been determined that it cannot be controlled in the hands and cannot be completely controlled, so the signing of a contract between the two parties and peaceful coexistence to a certain extent is the only option.
This in itself is the idea before the Dinghai Navy, but before, the Mayans were too tough and didn't talk to them at all, and there was no way, the Dinghai only had a passive counterattack, although it was said that it had achieved a complete victory in the war, but this was not what the Dinghai needed to see.
If they need wealth, there are countless riches in the vast Asia and Pacific Ocean, which can be obtained by them, and there is no need to come to the Americas thousands of miles away.
The Indians of the Americas, they have a unique way of cultivating plants, and there are many things that are unique, for example, the three products of the Americas, now, just obtained and corn, in the future, will get a year or two, or even more time, the only purpose of the navy is to find more plants.
The thinking of the two sides is almost the same, the Maya people were completely subdued, and because of the heavy losses, they did not dare to move more, but they promoted a peace plan that had not been promoted for a long time, and after three or four rounds of consultations, this peace plan would be determined.
