Aztecs?

After thinking about it carefully, Von Longde quickly found in his soul the relevant knowledge he had seen in history books before: an ancient Mexican civilization that existed from the 14th to the 16th centuries, and it was the last Indian civilization in the ancient Mexican Valley that emerged from the Olmec, Teotihuacan, and Toltec civilizations after the disappearance of the Olmec civilization, the Teotihuacan civilization, and the Toltec civilization.

Because Von Ronde was more interested in European history, and more focused on the thousand-year-long period from the fall of the Roman Empire to the discovery of the New World by Columbus, his understanding of the Aztecs was limited to some relatively basic ones, such as their lack of wheels, their lack of technology for forging metal, and their high attainments in culture, etiquette, astronomy, mathematics, art, and architecture at a level that basically belonged to the Stone Age.

Among them, Feng Longde remembers most clearly that these Aztecs are cannibals.

Of course, unlike some cannibal tribes that really need to eat people to survive, they eat people more because of their own cultural traditions than because of their physical needs: in this regard, Feng Longde directly consulted Zhu Henghong, who seemed to have studied a lot of research on this, and learned that in addition to eating crops such as corn, the Aztecs also ate rabbits, deer, Dogs and various kinds of local insects can be said that the Aztecs are not short of protein, and the Aztec land is so fertile that a farmer can feed his family by working hard for two months at most, and there is no reason to eat people because of famine.

The Aztec people's habit of eating people is mainly because of the religion they believe in, and after listening to Zhu Henghong Balabala a lot, he learned that this is their way of worshipping God, but whether it is eaten or eaten is like this, and Zhu Henghong originally wanted to continue, but looking at Yarman's eyes staring at the blazing soul flame and Caroline's silent and stressful staring, he consciously closed his mouth in time.

Feng Longde was also a little speechless in this regard: I didn't expect that this product was still a senior chatter, and he could extend to all aspects by just asking a simple question. If this didn't stop him from shutting up, it is estimated that he would not have to do anything today, and he would have listened directly to this great science popularization of the history of ancient Mesoamerican civilizations

"According to company commander Zhu Henghong, we saw that the large number of strange humans who fell into Gensokyo were Aztecs. Thinking that in the future, he could talk to the captain of the super-long spear formation company that he had saved, Feng Longde pointed to the magic image, "Caroline." You put me on the map. ”

"Yes, brother. Caroline nodded, and then the picture on the big screen changed, showing a map of the whole territory of Gensokyo, which has a large overall map just like a historical real-time strategy game, and there are also various branch mini-maps, which can be used to view the monitoring screen of all the Revenant Rangers in a certain location as needed.

But not to mention, Feng Longde's mental pollution in some aspects is quite large: occasionally Caroline rarely comes back to meet her brother, and she sees him playing the double polar files of "Medieval 2 Total War" and other historical real-time strategy games with his laptop, and Caroline feels that the map display of these games is simple and clear. As a result, I am now learning and putting it to use

Caroline made a few gestures to show where the large group of Aztecs were: on the southern edge of Gensokyo, a long way from the relatively resting Unnamed Hill and the Sunflower Field.

This made everyone present frown: Aside from the situation of the Nameless Hill and the Sunflower Field, everyone knew very well that from the current position of the Aztecs to the distance between the human world, it would take at least more than a day to walk alone, and judging from the common reaction of people when they fell into a strange place, they would definitely scurry around like headless flies, and if they didn't clean up as soon as possible, it would be easy to fall into the same firefighters as the firefighters to find these Aztecs who were scattered more and more like a tree.

It was necessary to rush to them in front of them in a short time, and this was quickly agreed upon. Then the headache begins: the number of people.

Feng Longde had been observing the equipment of the Aztecs before, but he didn't have time to find out the specific number of people. As a result, when Caroline herself analyzed the surveillance footage of the Revenant Rangers, she came to the definitive conclusion that there were 10,000 Aztecs, causing everyone to be blinded.

Last time, it was Abdullah's group of medieval Arab troops, and if you look at the number of people alone, you would have added more skeletons and corpses than the other side at that time, but now it is good, the army has expanded by more than 300 people. As a result, the enemy they faced this time was even at the level of the Quasi-Stone Age, but the 10,000 people said something else, even if the obsidian weapons in their hands that were not too inferior to metal weapons in terms of sharpness were all replaced with ordinary stones, it was estimated that all of Feng Longde's troops would be stoned to death.

At a time when the level of armament was at the level of contemporaries, once the ratio of quantity to quality became 6: 1. Then the quantity will crush the quality, but if it is not the level of the same era, Feng Longde feels that it is difficult to say, there may be the effect of the horizontal crushing of the times, and there may be a situation where there is a miracle of great force, no one can say.

However, from the mouth of Zhu Henghong, a guy who knows more about the Aztec civilization, Feng Longde and several others learned that the onesie worn by those Aztecs was a cotton armor called "Ichikawibiri", because it was made of soaking this cotton armor with concentrated salt water, so the protective performance of projectile cold weapons was very good; Javelins and simple monolithic bows do not have any weapons beyond the Stone Age.

In terms of magical imagery, the shields held by these Aztecs were "Chimori", and they were divided into two types, one of which was a larger one composed of hardwood strips and feathers, which could be used for full body protection, which was purely for defense against throwing weapons, and could be rolled up when not in use, and the other resembled a medieval Italian round shield, which was usually equipped by every Aztec warrior. It is about 50 to 75 centimeters in diameter and is made of wooden strips, reed poles and rattan and woven using strong cotton ropes. The shields of ordinary warriors were usually painted with pictorial text indicating the name of their tribe, while the shields of elite warriors and nobles were painted with pictorial text representing their surnames or families, and were often inlaid with various gold ornaments or precious stones. On the underside of the shield are also glued colorful feathers as decoration.

Later, after a long discussion and research, Feng Longde decided to meet the enemy near the Nameless Hill or the Sun Flower Field. Not to mention the question of whether the 10,000 Aztecs will disperse, if they really get together and go to the human world, Feng Longde thinks that even if he adds all these people, it is estimated that he will not be able to defend himself: this is 10,000 people, even if the ladder is turned in, once some Aztecs break into the human world, the casualties of the human inhabitants will definitely be unavoidable, and it will cause a series of problems.

After confirming Adolf's resolute opposition to meeting the enemy within the confines of the world, and unconditionally agreeing to his own mobilization of Boghall's troops. Feng Longde and several people present began to study where the battlefield should be chosen.

Because there is a magic forest in the north and a lost bamboo forest in the east on the south side of Gensokyo, the area of the flat prototype also has a lot of small-scale woods, which is not only familiar with the environment for the Aztecs who live in the surrounding environment dense with tropical rainforests, but also can quickly march and hide through the environment there; Although fighting on the plains meant that Boghall's forces would be completely encircled, there were guns and halberds at close range, and Mauser was far away, and everyone with a shield could turn into a sword or spearman at any time. As long as you stay in formation and morale doesn't collapse, it doesn't matter if you use an extra-long spear formation or a shield wall. No amount of enemy Boghall troops need to be feared.

Among the people who were going to go, in addition to the knights of the full guard led by Yarman and the Boghall soldiers led by Zhu Henghong and another company leader, Feng Longde let Caroline move with the troops this time: if the enemy was less than a thousand like last time, Feng Longde still had the confidence to take all the troops to fight in person, but this time the enemy had an absolute advantage in numbers, and if it was a last resort, Feng Longde would have to consider letting Caroline, the Nether Demon Queen, carry out magical fire support or conduct a large-scale summoning of the dead. Even if the troops can handle it, she can add a buff to the soldiers, a debuff to the enemies or something, in short, there is work to do

In addition, while the Teutonic camp was led by von Ronde to go out to fight, the temporary command was given to Seville, who had been busy with construction work. All the skeleton corpse witches and lich mages left behind in the camp will follow his orders, and Adolf will go back to the human world to inform Huiyin of the situation, if Feng Longde and the others don't stop or have a fish that slips through the net, then Huiyin or Meihong will have to take action.

After all preparations were made, and while it was still morning and noon, von Rond, Yarman, and Caroline gathered the King's Guard and Boghall troops, took their weapons and supplies, and galloped towards the predetermined battlefield.

No one noticed that when Feng Longde and the others set off and disappeared into the horizon for a while, several thin figures flew out of the Teutonic camp and chased after them in the direction where Feng Longde and the others left.

"Hurry up, keep up the current speed!Don't fall behind!" On the flat forest meadow, a large group of men dressed in light steel chain mail strode forward breathlessly, and the two company leaders beside them roared from time to time while desperately panting for breath, inhaling as much fresh air as possible.

As the men marched on foot, they were accompanied by a group of super-heavy cavalrymen in black armor, also neatly arranged, armed with steel elongated lances and steel fleur-tails, and behind them were a long row of carriages, some of which had large piles of extra-long armor-piercing cones and halberds, as well as food, drink, and other miscellaneous items, most of the rest were empty carriages, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they followed the large procession in the same orderly manner as someone to harness them without a driver, which looked very strange。

In order to arrive at the predetermined battlefield as soon as possible, Feng Longde brought a large number of carriages to carry the ultra-long armor-piercing cone spears and halberds of the Boghall troops, while the Boghall troops only needed to carry other weapons by themselves;

If it is a cavalry spear used by a Teutonic knight or a Teutonic heavy cavalry with the identity of an ordinary human being, it will definitely not cause all-metal: many times ordinary cavalry spears will be torn apart at the first attack, and for ordinary humans, all-metal cavalry lances cannot be picked up at all; 。

At this time, it became clear that the Boghall troops had maintained the benefits of daily physical training from the beginning to the present: although most of them were panting and sweating, no one had been left behind until now, and they still maintained a complete formation and a steady pace, barely able to catch up with the speed of the Guard knights, who had deliberately slowed down their horses.

Looking at this group of Boghall troops who had been able to maintain their formation and morale during the rapid march after more than two months of training, Feng Longde still frowned.

Although these Boghall troops, recruited from the Germanic inhabitants of the human world, were very good in training and rapid marching, it was unknown whether they would be useful in the upcoming battle.

"It seems that the only way to test whether these recruits can become qualified soldiers is through actual combat. Looking at the Boghall troops who were desperately maintaining a running posture under the command of the two company commanders, Feng Longde sighed.

As for whether the army trained in the manner of the Teutonic Imperial Legion had excellent combat effectiveness as the knights of the Guards such as Yarman said, Feng Longde waited and waited. (To be continued......)
