Chapter 1074: The Colonizer's War

A war began in which the acquisition of information was extremely unequal. In the days when Zhu Hao came to Central America, he did not rashly start a war with the European colonists, but more steadily, first gained a firm foothold, completed the construction of cities and mines, and put into practice many of the technologies he had already mastered, which can be regarded as completing the initial accumulation of colonial industry and agriculture.

The felled trees and the food collected alone are enough for 100,000 people a year. In addition, when he was on the ship, all the Ming people were planted with cowpox, and he didn't have to worry about the existence of smallpox, which almost led to the extinction of the indigenous people of the American continent, which made him have a lot less worries.

In the first war, Zhu Hao wanted to let the European colonists know that the real owner of this uncivilized land came from the Eastern Ming Dynasty, not you robbers who only knew how to loot but didn't know how to operate.

Because of the full cooperation of the natives, in terms of intelligence acquisition, Zhu Hao can basically grasp all the movements of the other party, defeating them is not Zhu Hao's real purpose, in addition to letting his soldiers and horses practice their hands, he wants to annihilate all the prisoners and horses along the way, so that they will not come back, so as to form a deterrent, so that the European colonists will never dare to approach the western part of Central America in the future.

"Honorable King, if we are allowed to charge, I am afraid that our people will collapse immediately." Jing Jinger and Ah Da were both taken by Zhu Hao in the army.

It was impossible for Zhu Hao to keep them in Xincheng, mainly because he was afraid that they would take advantage of his absence to encourage those indigenous residents to rebel.

And when Jing Kyoji knew that Zhu Hao was going to war with the European colonists, and even arranged their people to the front line, he felt that Zhu Hao was playing with them...... They had been in contact with European colonists before, and they knew the terrible nature of the enemy, and it was really the kind of one or two hundred people who could kill in and out without hindrance...... Because many of the indigenous tribes did not even have a bow and arrow, let alone a bronze or iron weapon...... Coupled with the fact that they had never seen horses, with their weak strength, the weapons in their hands could not even pierce the thick armor of horses, could they rely on a group of people to rush up and fight with their fists and feet those Franco-robot people with firearms and sabers in their hands?

Zhu Hao said: "Don't worry, you won't go to war, the reason why I put your clansmen on the front line is because I want them to witness the miracle with their own eyes......

"In the next battle, I want you to know why following me can make your clan flourish...... Remember, I am your God, who came here to change your tragic fate! If you don't believe me, then it's only a matter of time before you destroy your race. "There are some words that Zhu Hao has difficulty explaining to Jing Jinger and them.

The best proof is to use a total annihilation battle without suspense to break the impression of the excessive mythology of European colonizers in their hearts, and from now on Zhu Hao is the real god in their hearts.

………… Zhu Hao was not in a hurry to start the war. Instead, send out sentries to keep an eye on the enemy's every move. The main purpose was to naturally attract the European colonists to the city of Guadalajara, so that it would be easier to annihilate and more convenient for the natives to watch the whole war.

Zhu Hao's current population is not very large, and his plan is to rebuild the city of Guadalajara and use it as a strong fortress to resist the westward advance of European colonists, and the terrain here is very suitable for defensive operations...... The city of Guadalajara is bordered by Lake Chapala to the south, mountains and forests to the north, and the Gobi Desert to the north.

In this way, the location of Guadalajara is quite important, if you want to make a detour, the resources consumed will increase exponentially, and leave a longer preparation time for the Ming army to meet the enemy, and it will be easier to completely annihilate the opponent while waiting for work.

Unless the European colonizers used their fleets to bypass South America and kill them...... That would make them regret it even more, because the strongest fleet under Zhu Hao's command was the fleet he commanded, but Zhu Hao was ready to use the fleet to detour to fight the Europeans head-on after taking the Inca Empire into his territory.

Now the tactics of attraction are adopted, and the bait of Guadalajara is released, so that the European colonists are greedy, and send troops to attack, and after the total annihilation of the opponent, it will be used as a benchmark to let those bullied indigenous tribes in the north and south know that the original true god is in the west of the continent, let them move to this side, seek refuge, and build several decent cities around Guadalajara, as Zhu Hao's first territory in Central America.

The area is rich in resources and is connected to the east and west coasts, and can be used as a trading center and a strong fortress for defense, and can even be used as a temporary capital when it develops.

………… The European colonizers were about to arrive in Guadalajara after a five-day march, when none of them realized the danger was coming.

The people and horses did not walk fast, and they thought that as before, wherever they went, the natives would look at the wind and descend, or flee from the wind, and kill as much as they wanted, which was equivalent to a wonderful armed march.

As the Francophile man plunged headlong into the encirclement, the escape road was quickly blocked by the cavalry led by Lu Bing.

"Are we going to fight under the city?" Guan Jing was responsible for arranging the defense line, echoing Lu Bing's headquarters after the encirclement was broken.

Although Guan Jing was born in a military household, he was a fugitive, and his martial arts were much stronger than Lu Bing, but he was not as confident as Lu Bing in commanding soldiers and horses to fight.

It's just that he doesn't regard himself as a commander in his heart, but in Zhu Hao's mind, Lu Bing and Guan Jing are both generals under his command, and they can even exist as left and right protectors.

"I don't know where they're going to react...... It seems that in more than ten miles, they will reach the city! I'm afraid that the war will begin before nightfall today. Zhu Hao found that the European colonists had quickened their marches.

The Francophiles found that there were a large number of villages around the city, but they had temporarily moved away, leaving them with no goods, but there was a city in front of them, and they took it for granted that all the goods were concentrated in the city, and secretly laughed at the stupidity of these natives, how many times did they break through their cities, and let them bleed like rivers of blood, and they were both empty of money and money, and now they still want to stop us with those fortresses made of stones and wood?

At sunset, when the colonists of Guadalajara saw the walls of Guadalajara, they were surprised to find that it seemed to be very different from any city they had ever come across—it was too tall!

"It's coming!" Zhu Hao stood at the head of the city, looking at the European colonists less than three miles away with a telescope.

At this time, the team of the Franco-robot people did not realize the danger coming, they let the next 2,000 enslaved natives, push the artillery cart to the city, this time they brought two cannons in the army, according to previous experience, once the cannon sounded, no matter what the lethality, the natives in the city will definitely scatter and flee.

But this time...... Before they could get close to the walls, the city's artillery was the first to fire.

"Boom-" shot out. When the European colonists heard the sound of shelling, they didn't realize what was happening, but they saw dozens of black iron balls flying towards them in the air, and these iron balls were actually hitting near the city wall three miles away, and they didn't understand where the natives came from, let alone how the shells fired by the opponent's artillery could hit three miles away.

The Franc cannon equipped by the colonists today has a firing range of only four or five hundred meters, while the cannon with much stronger airtightness, similar to the later Hongyi cannon, has a firing range of only eight or nine hundred meters, less than one thousand meters.

......When the artillery shell landed, the Franc machine man was horrified to find that it was not just as simple as firing an iron ball, but also a violent explosion when the shell landed...... The smoke of gunpowder and the surging heat wave were extremely powerful, and almost no one could survive within a dozen meters around the explosion site.

What's more...... Such shells actually exploded in their own ranks one after another. ………… The intelligence is not equal, and the war itself is not equal.

If the European colonists relied on the first generation of firearms to defeat the Native Americans who were still in the Bronze Age or Stone Age, then Zhu Hao used the weapons of the post-firearm age to teach the European colonists a lesson.

Zhu Hao's purpose is not simply to win. He wants to annihilate them all, leaving no one alive, and he wants him to bring tens of thousands of natives, as well as more than 10,000 natives who have gathered from all around after hearing the news, to know who is the only true god on the American continent.

The artillery roared constantly, and the cavalry team led by Lu Bing did not appear, still hiding behind the Franco-robot team, which was to prevent one or two of the Europeans from escaping and not passing on the information here...... Zhu Hao didn't even use the new muskets, those muskets were advanced weapons that he had made after more than ten years of continuous experiments, and even went beyond the scope of flintlock muskets, and the ignition was no longer with flint, but with lightning mercury and other firing agents, and the safety and practicality had been greatly improved.

The European colonizers were bombed to pieces, and many people tried to escape, but found that there was nowhere to run. After more than a dozen rounds of such shelling, very few of them are still standing.

When the men who came out to clean up the battlefield appeared, the European colonists who fell to the ground and wailed were stunned. Is it actually the Native Americans they looked down on before?

The hatred of these natives for Europeans has gone beyond ordinary hatred, it is a kind of pain of extermination, deep in the marrow, and they grit their teeth to let this group of Caucasian people know what it is like to be slaughtered.

The weapons in the hands of the natives were not ordinary stone or bronze tools, but broadswords and spears made of stainless steel...... Then all the European colonists were harvested and decapitated, and one by one they became ghosts.

As for the more than 2,000 natives who came with the European colonizers, they did not get any good treatment, and they were among the Mesoamerican tribes
