The great army of the Inca Empire, led by Emperor Vayina? Capac personally led and stationed in a city about seventy miles away from Zhu Hao's mining area.

This city had originally been taken by the Ming army, but as the scattered Ming army "did not collect at night" and found that the main force of the Inca Empire army was coming, Zhu Hao wanted to lure the enemy to fight near the mining area, not to mention saving costs, and he could also capture the top echelons of the Inca Empire on the battlefield in one fell swoop, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of controlling tens of millions of people in the entire South America, so he ordered to shrink the defense line and took the initiative to abandon all the cities on this line.

The emperor of the Inca Empire and his generals still had a certain military talent, they were not fooled, and before they figured out the details of the Ming army, they took the initiative to stop the march and stationed in a city on the hillside, defending the danger, and at the same time set up a banquet in the city, and sent envoys to invite Zhu Hao to "be a guest...... I don't know, I thought that the Incas were planning to set up a "Hongmen Banquet" to see if Zhu Hao had the courage to go to the meeting.

"The last general personally led his troops to capture the thief chieftain."

After Guan Dezhao learned the news, he offered to lead troops to fight the Incas.

After all, Guan Dezhao is only a fugitive from the military household of the Daming Guard, and in Zhu Hao's army, his son Guan Jing's achievements and prestige are far more than him.

Also as a father, Lu Song has the identity of Jinyi Wei Qianhu after all, to a certain extent, he represents the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty and has a huge deterrent power, compared to Guan Dezhao, who does not have any aura protection, and now he is eager to prove himself.

Zhu Hao thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will transfer 500 cavalry to you, and send another 1,000 Aztecs and 5,000 South American natives to participate in the war...... The Aztecs were armed with iron spears, while the native Americans temporarily used them as waffles, giving them a long stick to protect themselves from the enemy, and to line up against enemies if necessary...... If you can't capture the city, you can wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”

"Enough!"

Guan Dezhao has now fully comprehended the true strength of the "official army" of the Inca Empire.

Even if Zhu Hao only allocated him 300 cavalry, he would dare to take it to fight with 50,000 troops, not to mention that he had far more than that.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "In addition, I will transfer another five hundred militia to you, they will carry new firearms and fully cooperate with you in battle, but they will take the local aborigines to escort artillery and grain and grass, and they will be able to serve in your army a little later." ”

"Order."

Guan Dezhao knew that he was finally no longer just a lord who was stationed on the coastline and dealt with trivial matters all day long, and his brows suddenly stretched, and his eyes shot a little sharper.

On the same day, Guan Dezhao led his troops and embarked on the road to capture the city where the king of the Inca Empire was stationed.

……

……

Zhu Hao did not have high hopes for Guan Dezhao's commander, which seemed to have thousands of men and horses, but the actual effective force was only 500 cavalry, to defeat the "Royal Forest Army" of the Inca Empire.

Seventy miles is not far.

In just over a day, the soldiers and horses under the command of Guan Dezhao were already stationed five miles below the Inca city.

The city built by the Incas is very distinctive, completely based on the geographical advantage, to enter the city can only climb a steep slope from the bottom up, through a relatively narrow and steep mountain road to reach the city gate, which is very unfavorable for the besieging side.

This is also mainly related to the geographical characteristics of the Andes Mountains where the city is located.

The Andes Mountains are a long and narrow mountain range on the west coast of South America, and the birthplace of the Inca Empire is around the Andes, they rely on this natural danger to block the flood beasts, and rely on geographical advantages to fight with rival tribes, and if they win the battle, they will successfully annex the opponent, if they fail, they will hide in the mountains, and then go out to fight in the mountains when they recover, almost invincible, and gradually establish an empire that looks impregnable in this region.

If there is no invasion of outsiders, perhaps the Inca Empire will gradually give birth to its own writing, begin to slowly climb the tree of science and technology, and catch up with the civilization of Eurasia, but unfortunately everything is just hypothetical, now whether it is European colonizers or pioneers from the Ming Dynasty, they have formed a comprehensive crushing of science and technology on the Inca Empire, and it is impossible for the Inca civilization to develop anymore.

Guan Dezhao arrived in the valley below the city, which did not even have a name, and that night there was an exchange of fire between the two sides.

The Inca Imperial Army had the blessing of the emperor who symbolized the gods to come to the front line, from the officers to the soldiers were extremely "brave", they rushed out of the city, gathered about six or seven thousand infantry, armed with axes and stone spears, and launched a direct attack on the forward position of the Ming army.

There was no surprise at all, Guan Dezhao the 5,000 coastal residents of the Inca Empire who accompanied the army around him, and they were directly scattered.

They were too afraid of the army under the command of the Inca Emperor, because in their memory, the Imperial "Imperial Guards" had powerful "metal" weapons...... Although it is only a sporadic bronze spear and sword, in the thinking of the indigenous people, it is a sharp weapon that can cut and pierce the body, not to mention that as a royal guard, they still wear "armor", a kind of thing similar to a coat...... The kind of clothes woven from grass and trees seemed to the inhabitants of the coast of the Inca Empire to be old-fashioned.

Then, while the coastal people were fleeing, Guan Dezhao ordered his gunners to open fire.

"Boom-"

Artillery fired in unison.

Guan Dezhao only brought twenty portable guns, and one after another flowering shells were sprayed out from the muzzles, cutting through perfect parabolas, and exploding one by one after landing on the ground.

With the continuous firing of twenty artillery pieces, and then the unlucky Inca Imperial Forest Army on the opposite side immediately saw what a "dimensionality reduction strike" was, and they were directly blown up into the sky before they got close to the position of the Ming army.

The Imperial Forest Army of the Inca Empire still wanted to rush forward, but the Ming cavalry had already lined up to meet them, killing more than a thousand people in a few rounds.

Then the remaining Inca soldiers did not hesitate to turn around and flee up the mountain.

So the coastal people who had fled before spontaneously gathered again, followed the Ming cavalry to charge, and then crossed the war horses and directly attacked the city gate on the hillside.

……

……

Guan Dezhao did not capture the city gate that night.

Because the sky soon darkened, and the terrain was not conducive to the cavalry, the final encounter ended with the Ming army destroying the four or five thousand Imperial Forest Army of the Inca Empire without blood.

After setting up camp and arranging the defenses, the Ming army waited patiently for the next day.

Before dawn the next day, the second wave of men and horses sent by Zhu Hao, that is, five hundred people's troops, arrived with grain and grass and ten heavy artillery.

The heavy artillery was a mortar cannon, and the shells were solid, and the task was to blow up the enemy's walls so that the cavalry and infantry could rush into the city.

Yesterday, Guan Dezhao commanded the troops and horses, and the killing was very enjoyable, and now that the reinforcements have arrived, he thinks that he can capture this city on the hillside in one day, but the Emperor of the Inca Empire found that his strength was not good, and immediately sent an envoy to make peace.

"Venerable messenger of the gods, our king is willing to pay tribute every year in exchange for long-term stability."

Guan Dezhao said: "Tell the other party, unless their king has gone out of the city to take the blame...... Do you know what it means to be guilty? It is to come out and surrender with a bare body and a thorn on his back, otherwise he will not talk. ”

Word was brought into the city.

A restlessness!

Guan Dezhao's attitude angered the defenders, or rather, the Emperor of the Incas, who immediately sent 20,000 troops out of the city to once again "decisive" Guan Dezhao's regular army.

But in this sortie, the Incas obviously didn't really want to play with the Ming army.

There is only one intent...... Cover the Inca Emperor to break through.

Thus, while the city on the hill sent 20,000 troops to attack the west side of the hill, the east side of the city was on the side of the hillside, and there were about 20,000 horses on the other road, but like headless flies, they began to flee after exiting the low east gate.

Guan Dezhao saw this scene at the foot of the mountain, and his heart was extremely anxious.

It's a pity that he can't divide his forces to the other side of the city to besiege it now.

The soldiers and horses he led were easy to fight with the indigenous soldiers in the wilderness, anyway, the other party wore grass clothes with stone axes, and there was no lethality at all, he only needed to lead the troops to charge and kill, but to attack the city, his people were insufficient, and it would be even more difficult to divide the troops to pursue.

After all, there is a city protected by a tall city wall between the east gate and the west gate, and there is a sheep intestine path on the mountain, so it is a fool's dream to cross the 20,000 rushing Inca Empire "Imperial Forest Army", and after breaking the city, it is simply a fool's dream to surround and protect the army of the Inca Emperor.

Guan Dezhao couldn't help but be annoyed that he didn't attack the city overnight last night, resulting in missing the excellent opportunity to make contributions.

……

……

The second battle, no surprises.

The Inca Empire sent 20,000 horses to block the Ming army, and they had no intention of fighting, thinking that they also knew that they were invincible to the "army of the gods", so as soon as the two sides fought, a large number of people threw down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

Guan Dezhao kept in mind Zhu Hao's instructions, these are rare labor, and in the future, if the colonies in the Americas will develop and grow, they will need a vast number of manpower, and it is necessary to leave the lives of these prisoners.

But the coastal people who came with him did not think so, they hated the officials and soldiers of the Inca Empire, their family property accumulated by years of hard work was plundered, and their parents, wives and children also died at the hands of this group, so when they saw the once invincible enemy kneeling in front of them, becoming weak and deceitful, they unceremoniously rushed to teach a lesson.

Most of them were stoned.

Even if Guan Dezhao strictly ordered the natives on his side not to act arbitrarily, the effect was not obvious.

After all, the Ming army led by him was still too small, and he could only watch the two groups of natives scuffle together.

But fortunately, what happened next made the scene quiet again.

But seeing that behind the city, the Imperial Forest Army of the Inca Empire, which had fled to the depths of the mountains to the east, fled back to the city in ashes, because of the location on the top of the mountain, a Ming army appeared, blocking the way for the Inca Emperor to return east.

This Ming army is not like Guan Dezhao's side blindly bloody massacre, they are condescending, holding a fire gun to the void, only the stubborn Inca soldiers who approach the Ming army's position and try to engage in hand-to-hand combat will be shot. Seeing their companions fall one by one, the Inca Imperial Forest Army suddenly collapsed, and then the Ming army rushed down from the position, like a duck, driving the Inca Empire rout back to the city.

Guan Dezhao took out the binoculars and took a closer look, and it turned out that the main force of the Chinese army led by Zhu Hao had arrived.

Zhu Hao intended to close the door and fight the dog, Guan Dezhao just led people to set off, he led the army to detour to the rear of the Inca Empire army, climbed directly from the back mountain, set up a blocking position in advance, and easily realized the comprehensive encirclement of the city where the Inca Emperor stayed.

It's hard to trick the Inca emperor into making him run away easily?

If you can't kill it, you have to capture this dog emperor, what gold, silver and women, Zhu Hao doesn't want anything, he needs to give orders in the name of this emperor, so that the manpower and material resources of the entire Inca Empire can be used by him.

Don't mess with the power structure of the Inca Empire, just let them serve their goals.

If you are not satisfied...... Then kill and raise a puppet.

Isn't this how the change of dynasty has been played since ancient times?

Hold the Son of Heaven hostage first to order the princes!

In the end, it is logical to take its place!

When the encirclement was formed and it was impossible for the Inca Emperor and the Imperial Forest Army to break through again, Zhu Hao immediately sent outstanding talents selected from the coastal people as a diplomatic season to enter the city to negotiate with the emperor, but still insisted that the other party should go out of the city and surrender.

As long as the emperor of the Inca Empire is willing to go out of the city, he will ensure his personal safety, and he does not need to pay a huge ransom, the only requirement is to surrender to Zhu Hao, and regard Zhu Hao as the "emperor" or "god", and the Inca Empire is held hostage from top to bottom.
