"I see, I am willing to sacrifice myself for the sun god, this is our glory!" As soon as he heard Hong Tao say this, the captain of the guard immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, knelt down with his legs, touched Hong Tao's shoes with his forehead, and then stood up and turned to leave. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He was ready to go to meet the sun god, and although it was a foreign land, he firmly believed that he and his companions would be able to enter the kingdom of God at any time as long as the gods were present.

Hong Tao did not stop the worship of the captain of the guard, which was the spiritual sustenance of the Mexika soldiers. If they were told now that the Sun God Cult was fake and that the Sun God was fake, they would not listen, and they might think that the Sun God had abandoned them, and they would not be able to guess what the reaction would be.

Soon, Hong Tao's guards gathered on the shore, and an officer changed into a white robe, held a staff and began to pray to the soldiers. Although this behavior surprised the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army, their eyes swept to Hong Tao from time to time, as if to ask him, what are the soldiers you brought? How can I still believe in this set of things, but Hong Tao still has no intention of interfering.

This is the tradition of the soldiers of Mexica, whenever they want to enter a life-and-death battle, they will entrust their lives to the sun god, not praying that they will not die, but praying that they will die first, and those who die first will go to the kingdom of God first, and those who die later may not be able to catch up with this wave. Of course, you can't deliberately send to death, it's a deception to the gods. Whoever dares to deceive the gods will become the enemy of all Mexica's soldiers, even if they think so in their hearts. Gods are everywhere, and you know what you want.

"Alas...... It would be nice if I could bring Joseph here, and see if he could brainwash the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and if I could succeed, I would save a lot of trouble. As long as the sun can rise, I, the messenger of the sun, will do everything, and I don't have to consult anyone about everything. Hong Tao was very envious of those companions who stayed in North America, Medini and Swan, their lives were so good, they planted their own trees, they took advantage of the shade, and where to go to reason. Fortunately, the rat and the rat can still enjoy the benefits of the Divine Sect for themselves, otherwise they would really lose money.

The ritual of prayer was simple and short-lived, and when the white-robed priests put away their staffs, the devout Mexican soldiers turned from cultists to warriors in an instant, picked up their tools and walked to the pre-arranged positions, digging fortifications on the banks of the river by the light, and reacting to everything that was going to happen, like robots.

The Imperial Army was not idle, they were also digging fortifications, lifting one by one the land guns off the transport ships and placing them on the dug gun emplacements. Below the riverbank, more than twenty mortars of the Marine Corps were also assembled, and boxes of shells were removed from the ship and placed neatly stacked near the gun emplacements. Several Marines who were tasked with observing targets for the artillery climbed onto the mast of the transport, fastened themselves to it with ropes and planks, and raised their oversized binoculars to scan the dark wilderness, which was to adjust their eyes to the darkness.

"Prime Minister, I used to be in Captain Lang's Marine Corps, but unfortunately you left the Empire at that time. However, I have heard from my predecessors about going on the expedition with you, and I admire your merits very much...... "The soldiers were busy with their work, and their highest commander, the captain of the Imperial Army, came to Hong Tao's ship and had a big meal in front of Hong Tao.

"Oh, you're Langya's subordinate! Is Langya okay? "Hong Tao has never cared about others praising himself, he praises hard, and he can hold it. However, for Langya's sake, he still controlled his broken mouth and didn't say anything hurtful.

"Sir, it's good, this time it's me he recommended to the Ministry of Defense. Originally, he wanted to come by himself, but unfortunately the people from the Ministry of Defense didn't approve it, so he kept scolding, hehehe...... "This captain is not very old, he looks like he is twenty-seven or eighteen, but he is very old-fashioned, and he just talks to Hong Tao about useless household things, so he doesn't mention what he is doing."

"You better just say what the hell is going on with me. I guess you're often scolded under Langya, and he certainly doesn't like your habit of talking in circles. Hong Tao was really in no mood to play nonsense with this little captain, so he simply picked out the topic himself.

"Uh...... Those soldiers of yours got the gun emplacements wrong! Even if it's a howitzer, if you hit it like this, I'm afraid it won't be able to blow up the enemy. If they don't want to dig the gun position, I can ask someone to dig it for them, and it's not too much trouble, it'll be over in a while. "At the age of the captain, it is estimated that he has never been in contact with Hong Tao, and he didn't know that this legendary old emperor would speak so directly. After taking a deep breath, he brought up what he thought was wrong, trying not to use too hurtful words, and trying to take care of Hong Tao's face.

"What did you do before you served?" Hong Tao didn't answer his words, but asked a new question.

"I ...... I work as a statistician in the Imperial Shipyards, specializing in the construction of Seawolf-class warships! The little captain didn't understand why Hong Tao was asking this, but he couldn't help but answer, and answered Hong Tao's question with a wink.

"I'll give you a piece of advice, you're not fit to be a statistician, or you're not doing it to the fullest extent of your talents. You should go into politics, and if you want, come to me when you retire, and I'll give you a town to run with hundreds of thousands of people. Really, I'm not casually talking about it, and I'm not deliberately scolding you, I'm telling the truth. You can think about it, and if you think I'm right, I'll write you a letter of recommendation in the future, and you go back and hand it over to the shipyard's higher-level management, and they'll let you go. As for the question of gun positions, you leave them alone. They are also veterans of a hundred battles, and they have fought no less battles than your captain Lang, and when they start fighting for a while, you will know how they fought. I know what you mean, you two armies have never worked together in a big war, so you must be a little rusty. I don't ask you to cooperate, you just fight your way, leave them alone, they won't cause you trouble. I'm here to watch, and if they get in the way of you and your soldiers, tell me as soon as possible, and how about the two of us readjust? "Hong Tao likes this little captain very much, he is a person who is very good at getting along with others, and his mouth is not so cheap. Although the statistician is also a relatively senior job, but this kind of person is more suitable for politics, Hong Tao is very optimistic about his future, and is willing to let him help him, he is now hungry for talents, and he can't wait to see a suitable person to pull back immediately.

"Oh...... Then, then I'll go back first......" Hong Tao's words made the little captain stunned, isn't it just a gun position problem, how can it be mixed with his own work?

The first shots fired at about nine o'clock in the evening at the beginning of the battle, and the Imperial Army on the west side of the river bank opened fire first. Hong Tao is estimated to not be biased, he doesn't need to look with his eyes, he just listens with his ears, and he knows how many people are coming on the other side. The footsteps have been connected, and I can't hear the steps clearly, and I can feel a slight vibration when I lie on the ground.

This gunshot was like pouring a scoop of water in a pan of oil, and in an instant there was an earth-shattering roar, not only on the west bank of the river, but also on the east bank and south of the river, and the enemy launched a charge from three sides at the same time. Then came the continuous sound of rifle firing and the sharp sound of brass whistles, and the Imperial Army, using standard training methods, began to fire platoon guns at the noisiest places.

"All for all...... At this moment there was a series of muffled noises in the river, and the mortars of the Marine Corps spoke.

A few seconds later, more than a dozen dazzling fireballs suddenly erupted on the west and east sides of the riverbank, and the south side of the river, almost blinding people's eyes. These fireballs did not flicker, but when the snow-white light disappeared, they transformed into an orange-red bonfire, which burned brightly, not only illuminating a large area around it, but also forming many small fireballs that spread out in all directions......

It was a man who was on fire, no matter how he threw and rolled, the fire on his body showed no sign of extinguishing at all, and he set fire to anything he touched, including the land. (To be continued.) )
