78. The first step in urban management law enforcement is to confiscate the murder weapon (II)
Unlike the pyramids of the Egyptians, the pyramids of the ancient Americans were more gentle, not so steep, and generally flat-topped, and they also built luxurious temples or palaces on the top of the pyramids, which felt more like the square Chinese Temple of Heaven.
However, at this time, the Great Pyramid of Cholula City has already become a purgatory on earth.
Looking around from the square, the pyramids are inlaid with countless elaborate reliefs, in front of the temple gates, in the corridors, and in front of the houses around the square, there are everywhere the dead corpses, all those who have been burned, hacked to death, and hanged.
And the Spaniards are actually among these layers of rotting corpses, while smelling the strong smell of corpses, while eating and living as usual, it is really impossible to admire the coarseness of their nerves.
What is particularly shocking is that these Spanish adventurers, after the massacre, would actually take fat from the stomachs of the dead corpses and concoct fresh human oil, which can be used to make improvised torches, human oil candles, or cover wounds to prevent infection - it seems that the way the German Nazis used to make soap in Auschwitz seems to have a long history in Europe......
Seeing such a cruel scene full of corpses, even Ma Tong, who has a longing for the legendary hero Cortez, has no good feeling in his heart.
ββ¦β¦ Alas, though there must be something hateful about the wretched, these Chorula people also died too unjustly! β
Senior Sister Ma Tong shook her head and tore a portrait of Cortez printed out of the computer into pieces, "...... This shijie may be a shijie of the jungle, but I don't think we should have any respect for such a brutal and despicable conqueror......"
As for the male compatriots, who had no respect for CortΓ©s from the beginning, they were even more wary of the Spaniards' next move.
ββ¦β¦ Wouldn't it be disadvantageous for our army to stay in this unsheltered open field in case of conflict? β
Wang Qiu pointed to the towering Great Pyramid in front of him, frowned and said, "...... The Spaniards occupy the commanding heights of the city! β
ββ¦β¦ Don't worry, I've sent General Apotchina, with five hundred men, to seize the houses around the square, and drive out all the Tlaxcala warriors and Spaniards inside, lest anyone shoot coldly. Wen Deji shrugged his shoulders and said disappreciatively, "...... As for this pyramid...... The range of the European musket in this year was only a little more than 100 meters, and it was impossible to hit it from the top of the pyramid......"
ββ¦β¦ And what about artillery? Wang Qiu continued to ask, "...... Even the artillery of this era should be able to hit a kilometer or two! β
ββ¦β¦ Don't worry about that! Wen Deji smiled mysteriously, "...... All the artillery of Cortez is in our hands! β
It turned out that about the day before yesterday, in order to blast open a strong fortress, the Spaniards had pulled all their artillery to a nearby block. When the battle was over, the Spaniards were all busy looting gold and silver treasures, and no one cared about these four bulky guns, so they left the guns on the street for two days and left them unattended, and all of them became trophies of the expeditionary force.
Wang Qiu was surprised that the Spaniards didn't have time to pull the artillery away. Because the period between the exchange of fire between the two sides and the arrival of the expeditionary force under the pyramid was at least two hours, which should be enough for them to organize the transfer of artillery.
It wasn't until the four guns were brought to the square that Wang Qiu ironically discovered that the guns used by the Cortez expedition seemed to be disassembled from ships, so they were not equipped with gun carriages for long-distance transportation. β¦,
What's even more bizarre is that these lazy Spaniards, after going ashore, didn't bother to build a few gun wagons temporarily, but directly disassembled the barrels and let the Indian laborers carry them in the form of parts. When the artillery is bombarded, it is necessary to temporarily make a gun position with rammed earth and stones to place the gun barrel on it, and the elevation angle and direction of the gun muzzle are naturally fixed...... As a result, when the expeditionary force of Honsiutizgan came along the street, the Spanish artillery, who were in a hurry, could not even turn the muzzle of the gun, so they could only drop the artillery and run, let alone pull back to the pyramid.
In short, Wang Qiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the only weapons that the Spanish expedition could threaten his own life and safety were all captured by his own side - the high-grade body armor produced by modern times was enough to carry the bullets of the old Spanish musket at close range, but the shells were not good.
ββ¦β¦ Well, the first step in urban management law enforcement is to confiscate the murder weapon. Such a discordant thing should be confiscated immediately! β
So, with a slight wave of Wang Qiu's hand, all the artillery of the Cortez expedition was moved to another shijie in one go.
ββββββββββββββββββ
At the same time, CortΓ©s was also in the temple at the top of the pyramid, quietly peeking at the army that suddenly appeared.
Although there have been Tlaxcalans who have secretly come to report to him, telling him that this is the army of the kingdom of Hun Hutizgan led by the "Western gods". However, no matter what angle he observed, he couldn't connect the gang in front of him with the "Seris" in "Marco Polo's Travels".
- Ugly green uniforms, simple bright orange helmets (helmets) with no decorations, and bright red flags with simple patterns...... This is completely inconsistent with CortΓ©s's impression of the extravagant, rich, and gorgeous Oriental empire "Seris".
However, those black holes of firearms and snow-bright blades cannot be faked, which are things that Native Americans do not have.
In addition, according to the description of Avalado, who was burned on half of his face, after fleeing from the suburbs, these "indigenous infantrymen who obeyed the orders of the Chinese" did not seem to be holding a tubular weapon in their hands, but a kind of rocket launcher, which looked terrifying, but was not very powerful...... Therefore, if the forces on both sides are similar, Cortez would really want to fight each other and have a fight.
But the problem was that there were tens of thousands of people on the other side, and there were only 200 on their side, and the Tlaxcalas, who were allies, had all run out - they did not dare to go to war with their traditional allies, the Honshutizgans, without the clear instructions of the chieftain - so this battle could not be fought at all.
Just as CortΓ©s was sitting on the pyramid, unaware of how, another bad news reached his ears.
ββ¦β¦ What the? The artillerymen lost all four guns! My God! Don't they know that this is the lifeblood of our army? β
A series of sudden blows made Cortez, who had been arrogant before, suddenly circle around the gloomy hall like a tiger trapped in a cage. Zuihou, CortΓ©s finally decided to give it another try, and issued an order to his indigenous mistress and translator, Marina:
ββ¦β¦ Marina, you go outside and shout to the Chinese, just say that I have prepared a banquet and gifts, invite them to come in and negotiate! In a softer tone, you can tell them that we are friends, not enemies...... It's up to you to think about the specific sentences! β
ββ¦β¦ And, Avalado! "He called his lieutenant again, and just two hours earlier he had been beaten outside the city, losing ten men and three horses, and burning half of his face," ...... Gather all the brethren, put on their armor and weapons, find some flowers in their hands, and march to the door of the temple to welcome the messengers of the Chinese! When they come in, they pay attention to the signals I give. Then you're ......," Cortez made a downward gesture with his hand, "...... Well, you should know how to do it, right? ββ¦,
ββ¦β¦ Yes, Commander! I'm going to make these damn yellow-skinned monkeys pay! β
Avalado reached out and covered half of his face, which had just been burned by the Drill Monkey, and replied through gritted teeth.
ββββββββββββββββ
It is a pity that CortΓ©s's little trick could not deceive the traversers who already knew the shameless nature of these Spaniards.
ββ¦β¦ Ha? Invite us to the top of the pyramid and enter the temple where the Spaniards are stationed to negotiate? A sumptuous feast was arranged for us? Hehe! Did CortΓ©s think of us as Montezuma of the Aztec Empire, or Atahualpa of the Inca Empire (two unlucky guys who were kidnapped and torn up by the Spaniards during the talks)? Or maybe the aristocrats who had just been burned to death by him in this temple?! β
Hearing the shouts of a certain high-pitched woman on the top of the pyramid, Wen Desi, Wang Qiu and other traversers were all angry and funny.
ββ¦β¦ It seems that the lesson we have taught these Spaniards is not enough! Gotta add some more food! β
Wang Qiu raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the RPG troops immediately began to move, and twenty large fireworks bombs were immediately pushed out, placed on aluminum alloy brackets adjusted to an inclined angle, and then spewed out dazzling tail flames, shooting towards the Quetzalcoatl Temple at the top of the pyramid.
Although the accuracy of these firecracker shells was very poor because they were not standard weapons, twelve of the twenty were volleyed in the air, and six hit the pyramid steps outside the temple, but two of the firecracker shells still fell into the temple wall and exploded violently, causing a ghost to cry wolf.
After a few more moments, another shout came from the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, claiming that the Great Commander CortΓ©s was willing to come out for talks. However, as a friend, Haode expressed the hope that Wende's army would retreat some distance and withdraw from the houses around the square, so as to show the sincerity of the expeditionary force for peace by giving way to the Spaniards a road outside the city.
However, this seemingly reasonable request was still denied. Because several travelers have all seen the movie "Red River Valley" and still remember one of the scenes - the British expeditionary force that invaded Lhasa from India, when it was confronting the Tibetan army from afar, the British representative first pretended to agree to the peace talks, but asked the Tibetan army's arquebus troops to extinguish the fire, and asked the Tibetan army to withdraw the mountain beams on both sides of the battlefield, and then quietly pushed their own artillery onto the mountain beams to occupy the commanding heights and favorable firing positions.
Although it is clear that the abilities of this group of Spanish explorers cannot be compared with the colonial forces of the British Empire in their heyday, the traversers are still unwilling to take even the slightest unnecessary risk, let alone capsize in the gutter.
Therefore, Wen Desi sent people over to scold him, and ordered these Spanish barbarians to stop chirping crookedly, and immediately get out to meet the "envoys of the Celestial Empire", and then continue to fire fireworks bombs one after another into the pyramid, which should be live-fire training.
After firing more than 300 rockets in a row, a raging fire had already ignited in the temple, and CortΓ©s finally relented, and agreed to come out of the temple of Quetzalcoatl to negotiate, only to ask the expeditionary force outside to stop the bombardment and give him a little time to prepare.
ββ¦β¦ Well, the dismount has been sufficient, and the Spaniards have relented. What do we do next? β
Wen Desi clapped his palms, turned to the city managers and asked, "...... What conditions should we make to CortΓ©s? β
ββ¦β¦ Isn't that obvious? The first step in chengguan law enforcement is to confiscate the murder weapon. And the second step of urban management law enforcement ......"
For some reason, Wang Qiu, whose expression was a little excited, tilted his head and said, "...... Of course, their ill-gotten gains will be confiscated! β
