Chapter 61: Antipotato Offensive and Defensive Battles
Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear.
It's a fitting phrase to describe the scene after the Mayan descendants marched.
Maybe they are used to hunting, or maybe they don't have proper military regulations at all. In short, the march of more than 10,000 people is not like a march at all, but more like a picnic, not to mention logistics or anything, there is no such organization at all. Every time, the leaders of the various departments roared, and they ran around the mountains and wilderness, eating whatever they caught.
Every time Liang Shi and the others looked at the natives who were scurrying around the mountains like locusts, they all felt that their vests were cold for a while, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts: Is it really a problem to take such a group of pig-like teammates to fight with people?
After just a day of marching, Liang Shi couldn't stand it anymore, so he specially called Elder Wusi and asked, "Elder, did you all march like this before?" ”
"That can't be!" Elder Uss waved his hand and objected, "It's not because you follow such rules that they have relented a little, this is learning from you!" Before this was put aside, I couldn't see their figures, and they all gathered with trumpets when there was something......"
Liang Shi and the others were in a cold sweat when they heard it, and it was really strange in the world!
Liang Shi wiped a cold sweat without a trace: "Elder, dare to ask what Toltecs are like you?" ”
Elder Uss thought for a moment before replying, "They were a little neater than us when they fought, but they still can't compare to you!" We don't care about this, anyway, as long as everyone dares to fight and dare to rush, what are you doing so neatly! ”
All right! Since everyone's concepts are so different, Liang Shi can't force them, besides, everyone is used to it, it's not that they can be changed, as long as the opponent also has the same virtue as them, it doesn't matter.
After nearly ten days of marching and climbing over several jungles, a city finally appeared in front of everyone's vision. Those warriors scattered all over the place were also led by their respective leaders, and slowly moved closer to the positions of several elders, and several elders also rushed to the tents of Liang Shi and others, if nothing else, just to covet their bamboo instant noodles.
Seeing them finish eating the instant noodles in their hands one by one, Liang Shicai asked the Great Elder, "Great Elder, I don't know what your plans are for the small city in front of you?" ”
Great Elder: "Captain Liang, the city in front of us is called Angua Di City, it's just a small city, just leave it to us, and let you see the power of our Divine Blessing Tribe warriors!" ”
Liang Shi thought about it, and it was not bad to see if the situation was good, so he said, "Okay then!" Then we'll see! Good luck! ”
This Antilecta city is indeed not big, just a small town to the west of the Toltecs. But the king of Toltec may have been on guard against the remnants of Chichin. The Itza people, perhaps to facilitate the sending of troops to exterminate them. In short, he deployed more than 5,000 troops in this place, and in his opinion, there were these forces scattered by the other side of the Qiqin. The Itza were stress-free.
When Liang Shi and them arrived, the guards of Antipotato quickly got the news, and at the same time, they quickly gathered their soldiers to give a lecture.
"Soldiers, you have also seen the group of Chichin who we are chasing around like rats. Itza people, this time they ran out to die! Do you want to go with Ben and kill them all? Would you like to be rewarded by His Majesty the King? Do you want to be promoted and make a fortune? ”
"Yes", "Yes", "Yes," the defenders of Anguadi replied excitedly.
"Good! You want to, Ben wants to! But there are more enemies than us, are you afraid? ”
"Don't be afraid!" "Kill them!"
Although they knew that they were outnumbered and the enemy was small, these defenders of Angua Di did not have a trace of timidity, in their opinion, these former defeated generals had come to give them meritorious deeds, and if they did not take it, they would be punished by heaven.
The Angua Di guard waved his hand: "Okay! Worthy of my Toltec warrior, good job! Grab your weapons, rush out with Ben, and kill them! Let's go! ”
Contrary to Liang Shi's expectations, in the face of more enemies than himself, the defender of Andipotato not only did not choose to defend the city, but took the initiative to go out of the city to attack, obviously not taking the enemy in front of him in his eyes.
Liang Shi and the others took out their clairvoyance and carefully observed the Toltecs, and found that they really didn't know how to use the military formation, and only knew how to charge with their boss. However, their equipment and command level are indeed much better than the group of people around them, at least everyone is equipped with bronze tools, while most of the natives on their side are still holding sharpened wooden sticks and wearing animal skins.
"No wonder they dare to take the initiative to attack!" Liang Shi muttered in his heart.
Then, seeing that those elders all went out to command their own people, he also said to Qi Zhonghao: "Big brother, you also asked the soldiers to prepare, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand it, so it's better to help them at a critical time, so as not to lose morale in the first battle." ”
Qi Zhonghao nodded: "Second brother, don't worry!" Big brother, I save it! ”
With the sound of whistles and flags, nearly 1,000 Marines quickly set up defensive positions in suitable places in the rear. Twenty bed crossbows removed from the ship were also selected for firing, and all of them were loaded with thin arrows, and all of them were ready to fire.
At this time, the Mayan descendants and the defenders of Anguadi both ran towards each other quickly, and when they were less than 100 meters apart, the soldiers running in front of both sides took out the javelins on their backs and threw them at the opposite side, and then pulled out their spare knives and spears and continued to rush forward. The soldiers who followed a little behind also began to repeat the movements of the soldiers in front of them, and then they joined each other, and the battle line stretched horizontally for nearly a mile.
Although the Mayan descendants were twice as numerous as the other side, the difference in equipment made the two sides evenly matched, and every second someone was falling, and the people behind were rushing up, completely ignoring the casualties, both thinking about killing the other party.
Liang Shi put down his clairvoyance and said to the rest of the people: "These natives are really not afraid of death, we are a little ashamed of this ruthlessness!" ”
Qi Zhonghao nodded and said: "These natives are only so ruthless, do you want to give them some color and take a look, and kill them with this strength?" ”
Liang Shi: "It's okay! If this stalemate continues, I'm afraid that these Mayans won't be able to withstand it first, after all, their equipment gap is not small. In this case, you have the bed crossbow give the other party a round and help the Mayans open the gap. ”
Qi Zhonghao: "Good Lak! And voila! ”
With that, he beckoned to the herald and whispered a few words in the herald's ear, who ran to the side and waved the flag a few times.
Soon, the bed crossbow position responded, and under the command of the bed crossbow squadron leader, all bed crossbows made the final adjustments. Seeing that the command flag in his hand was waved, all the bed crossbows released a row of arrows, forming a rain of arrows in the air, and flying quickly towards the heads of the defenders of Angudi.
A full two thousand arrows were scattered on the line of a hundred meters in the middle of the defenders of Angua Di at the same time, and this section of the defense line was emptied in an instant, and all the defenders of Angua Di in this area turned into hedgehogs, falling on their backs, staring at the sky that could no longer be seen with big eyes that could no longer be seen.
The whole war was frightened by this blow to a halt, and everyone was completely blinded by this sudden blow, until the sea of the Wus tribe saw that it was the other party's people who fell, that they suddenly came to their senses and howled in their bird language: "Brothers, don't be stunned! Come on! Kill the Toltecs! Rush ah......"
"Rush! Rush ah......"
The rest of the Mayans also followed the leader's shout, raised their weapons and shouted that this would rush forward.
Some of the more elven guys hurriedly threw away the wooden guns in their hands, picked up the good equipment on the ground and joined the attack, breaking down the defense line of the defenders of Angua Di and dividing them from the middle......
In the war of the cold weapon era, sometimes victory or defeat is such a small factor, and a key blow in a key place at a critical time can dominate the situation of the entire battlefield.
There was no suspense, this war, which should have been scorched for a longer time, was completely ended in less than half a day because of the fierce blows of Liang Shi and others.
Despite this, the Mayans paid three thousand lives in this battle, not counting the wounded. But Liang Shi didn't see too much pain on their faces, only to see that they collected their lost compatriots and buried them under the auspices of the elders. Even saw smiles on the faces of some of them, as if they were still happy for their deceased compatriots, which made Liang Shi and the others puzzled and called it strange!
The battle that followed was easier, and the few remaining defenders in Anguadi witnessed the destruction of their own defenders, and few were able to muster up the courage to hold out to the end. Coupled with the fact that the top boss had hung up, and without a backbone, they soon chose to lead their families to escape. Weakness is also a contagious disease, one will soon be the second, and when the Mayans finish a set of rituals and think of attacking the city, they find that the city of Antigua is defenseless, except for some original Mayan descendants cheering in the city to welcome the return of their long-lost compatriots, those Toltecs have either fled or died in the siege of the Maya.
In short, with the help of the Mayans in the city, the elders of the seven tribes quickly controlled the situation in Antigua City, and those who were forced to move to the wild for many years to live in the city had a rare opportunity to enjoy themselves in the city, and they all let go of their arms to eat and drink, and Antigua City became a "city that never sleeps".
Faced with this state, Liang Shi had to call the ministers and elders to talk: "Elders, in my opinion, should we take advantage of the victory to pursue it?" ”
The Great Elder laughed: "Don't worry, Captain Liang, you don't know, it will take more than a month before the next city, that is, Kirigua City, is still more than a month, and they don't know the news of our attack so quickly." Moreover, our warriors have been gone for so long, and they have just experienced a big battle, so they finally have such a comfortable environment, and they should have a good rest.
Also, there are still a lot of weapons and equipment in this city, and we plan to equip some of them first, and at the same time recruit some more compatriots from the city to make up for the previous losses. So, we're going to have to stay here for a while.
I know you're busy looking for the things you want, don't worry! A few of our old fellows have already ordered them to go down, and we will let them look for them along the way, and even if they can't find it, we can still find it in Quirigua City. You can enjoy the scenery here with peace of mind! ”
After listening to this, Liang Shi silently calculated the time in his heart. It's almost the end of the year now, but it's warmer here, and I don't feel like winter in my hometown. In order to be able to return home in time for next summer, the Mayans must solve their problems within half a year, and it seems that they will have to find a way to solve this problem at the next destination.
Thinking of this, Liang Shi pretended to be grateful and thanked several elders.
Subsequently, he found Bai Yutang, Qi Zhonghao and Yang Sien to plan carefully and came up with a relatively perfect plan.
In the end, Liang Shi said to Bai Yutang again: "Yutang, we can't all count on them, you also send your people out during this time, as many as you can find!" ”
Bai Yutang: "Okay, captain! (To be continued.) )
