Chapter 088: Tula City

The gods did not come down, but there were a few white shadows moving on the ground. The missionaries held aloft the gilded emblem of the Sun God in their hands, chanted scriptures in their mouths, and rode side by side towards the opposite side, as if they were not facing tens of thousands of enemies, but a field of sheep.

Swan...... Hey, what about you, what's the fuss? It's time for your snipers to take aim for the ones with the most feathers on their heads and the most fancy-wearing, just one round, hurry! "In addition to the missionaries, there is another person who is awake, and that is Hong Tao. He called Swan, and found that the other party was still looking at the sky stupidly, so he simply pulled out his shotgun and shone the barrel of the gun on Swan's soft underbelly.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang......" When the missionaries had already walked to the middle of the battlefield, there was a crisp sound behind them.

"O Sun God...... Please take care of us devout believers! Stop moving forward...... Stand still and get ready to retreat! Hearing these gunshots, the missionaries finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the command of the leader, they reined in the reins of their horses, still holding up the emblem in their hands, and recited the scriptures louder.

The gods have really descended to earth! Regardless of whether others believe it or not, and it doesn't matter if it is the sun god who came down or not, anyway, it did come down, and it is very likely that it came to help the enemy, otherwise how could the high priest of his tribe suddenly fall to the ground and be covered in blood?

It must be that the enemy's gods are more powerful, and their own gods have been defeated. Since the gods have been defeated, mortals will definitely not be able to defeat the gods, so most Indian warriors have only two paths to choose from. Either as the enemy on the other side, quickly kneel on the ground and pray that the gods will not condemn themselves; Or run back to the city and seek refuge in the temple.

There is no time to discuss which path to choose, let alone vote. When the first person turns to run, more people follow. When the first person kneels down to pray, a large number of people will immediately kneel down around him. Even if some people still don't believe it, they don't dare to stand alone as God's target, and they have to believe if they don't believe it.

"It's over again! I—I'll shoot it! Looking at the enemy who was kneeling and fleeing across the mountains, Swann was about to cry. The time of the battle is not as long as the time of the queue, to be precise, the time of the battle is less than ten seconds, and after firing the first shot, loading the ammunition, and raising the gun, the target will not be found. There are moving figures everywhere, and the feathers on their heads are no longer visible, and the people kneeling on the ground must have surrendered, and there is no need to waste any more bullets.

"They will all be your officers, your soldiers, and your neighbors in the future, so you don't have to cry so much if you kill a few. Go ahead, don't wait for them to figure it out, catch as much as you can. Hong Tao didn't have time to talk to Swan, he was holding a telescope to observe in what direction the fleeing people were running, where there were many people, and where they would attack tomorrow.

"Can you tell me the truth, are those big fireworks still there, and will they be delivered tomorrow?" Swann already has a plan to pick and choose, this general can't be a general, it's not as effective as making fireworks, what kind of strength does the general have, it's really not a change to a navy, at least a few more cannons.

"No, it's really gone, Bush has made a few of them, and I don't know if it's easy to use or not. Even if I ask him to rebuild, it will take more than a month to come and go, and it will definitely be too late. Hong Tao also heard it, Swan was really anxious, hurry up and comfort him.

"I'll kill Bush when I go back!" Launched! Bring more rope and move forward! Si Wan snorted angrily and didn't even look at Hong Tao, turned his head and roared, got on his horse and ran away.

That night, the camp was quiet, and the more than 3,000 captives did not even snore, so quiet that Hong Tao did not dare to sleep, so he ran outside the tent to check the post and ask the officer on duty whether the observation post in the distance was still there, and whether the soldiers inside were asleep. The power of the big fireworks is so strong, it is more effective than a shotgun, not only is it not harassed in the middle of the night, but there are no people who come to snoop.

At noon the next day, Luo Youde's follow-up troops followed, they were responsible for collecting prisoners of war and clearing the remnants of the enemy along the way, and they had been following Hong Tao's butt for more than ten kilometers, sending out scouts and cavalry to explore the surroundings as they went, so as not to be copied by the enemy Hong Tao's back road.

"So many people? It's a tough battle! Is there enough ammunition to rest for a few days before moving forward? Seeing this large number of captives, Luo Youde immediately thought of how fierce the battle was yesterday, and there were so many living people caught, and the number of dead people was at least three times more than three. But when I looked around, I didn't find anything like a battlefield, not even a place where the corpses were piled up.

"Still resting! The bullets I was carrying were getting damp, and I had a chance to shoot them if I wanted to. Ask Your Majesty, he scared the enemy away with a few big fireworks, what else do you want me to do if I fight like this! Si Wan didn't pay attention to Hong Tao all night, and when he saw Luo Youde coming, he could be regarded as having found someone to complain about.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Silly boy, you know how to fight. You're not a big one, don't be foolish. Your Majesty is letting you, don't worry about you, if it were so much nonsense from others, you would have been thrown back to Karl Fort a long time ago, and you will guard Count Karl and raise rats for the rest of your life! Luo Youde was clearly criticizing Swan, but he was actually helping him say good things. In the past few years in Sun City, he and Swan have had enough of the adversity, and they don't want to see Swan offend Hong Tao because of his cheapness. According to what he knows about Hong Tao, once you make him hate you, it won't end well.

"Don't shake your face with me, if you want to fight, you have a chance. Go assemble the team, let's go, I really don't care about it this time, say one more word, I'll call you Dad. Lao Luo, I'll leave it to you here, let's go, General! "Hong Tao is already optimistic, the most people fled to the southwest yesterday, and there should be a big city there. Now that he has no fireworks in his hand, it was when it was time for Swan to go into battle, and when he complained like this, he couldn't even come up with an idea, and stood behind to watch the excitement.

"Brother Hong, take care, be careful. Swan, don't play bastard, if the strong attack fails, retreat first, I'll go back and pull the cannon up for you, what a month early or a month late! "Luo Youde is still not very relieved, according to what Swan said, the enemy's main force has not yet come out, there are already tens of thousands of people, if this forces the other party to be anxious, all of them will be dispatched, and there will be no 100,000 people. No matter how powerful the shotgun is, there is a limit on the number of bullets and fires, and it is outnumbered.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty can't die even if I'm dead, he runs faster than anyone else!" Swann was annoyed by Hong Tao, and the more he talked, the more unspeakable he became.

"Lao Luo, you still have to send someone back to transfer all the soldiers that can be transferred from Sun City. If you don't have a gun, you can use a crossbow first, and a few more cannons will be pulled up, as well as war horses. It's a great place to eat without spitting it out. You don't have to worry about war, Swan has this ability. I'm worried about what to do when the fight is over, after all, we have too few people. By the way, let Joseph bring people up, don't worry about the family, I'm afraid there are no bigger villages within a radius of 200 miles, and all the people are here. ā€

Hong Tao didn't feel that it was a shame for him to run away quickly, let alone fight with Swan, he was already thinking about the aftermath of the war. Although it is said that when the Spaniards invaded South America, there were also cases of defeating tens of thousands of people in the Inca Empire with dozens or hundreds of people, but after all, they were all recorded in books, and when it was really their turn, they really didn't have a score in their hearts.

Swan divided more than 100 soldiers armed with shotguns into three teams, one group of men rushed forward to search and advance, and two teams followed one or two hundred meters behind as a reserve. Compared to fighting in the jungle, the terrain of the Anahuac Valley is too suitable for cavalry, not only is there no large woods, but there are also a few roads that have been trodden out. In fact, there is no need to observe the direction in which the deserters are fleeing, just follow these dirt roads to find their settlements.

"I ......" crossed a small plateau, and Hong Tao was startled by the scenery in front of him. Less than a kilometer ahead, there was a blackened building, the tallest of which was a pyramid. It is not the same shape as the Egyptian pyramids, as if the pyramids were cut down and then a large house was built on top of the flat top, mostly made of black volcanic rock.

This kind of pyramid is not unfamiliar, there is also one in the city of Saba, the locals call it the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, but it is not as big as here. What surprised Hong Tao even more was the scale of the city. With this pyramid temple as the center, the terraced houses expand outward one after another, and are scattered. Between the storeys of the houses is a wide road, and from a distance, the whole city looks like a target, and the temple is the central ring.

This pattern was also common among the Indians of the region, who had a simple armor made of animal skins, with two petals on the chest like wings, and on the back of the target was painted with this pattern, one red and one white. It is said that the pattern on the chest symbolizes the god Quetzalcoatl, and the back is the symbol of the sun god in their minds. But in Swan's eyes, it became the aiming point for shooting, shooting in a circle, one shot at a time.

"Your Majesty, this is the city of Tula. According to the captives, their grandfather's generation lived here, but from their father onwards, it was occupied by the Chichimeca and their temple was set on fire. After the arrival of the Mexicans (Aztecs), the Trothels slowly returned to live here, but the population was less than a tenth of the original population. Yesterday we were played against mainly Mexica and Chichimeca at the Pass, with only a small number of Trottoes. Some of their youth are building a floating city further south, and I don't quite understand what that means. The more than 100 people in Swan's hands seemed very small compared to the city opposite, but his momentum was quite strong, and he had no fear at all.
