Chapter 785 The King's Art of War

The king's flag of the god of death, the black wolf, fluttered high, appeared from the end of the sky, and came towards the continuous camp. In the big camp, a flag of the commander of the black wolf was flying. Both tall banners are black wolves, but in different poses and patterns. On the far side is the beast-shaped incarnation of the god of death Shulotel looking up at the sky, and on the other side is the night watch black wolf guarding the rising sun.

And when the two flags gradually approached, thousands of warriors from the Kingdom Headquarters in the camp cheered excitedly. Their cheers come from the heart, and their piety is like prayer!

"Praise the supreme and majestic Lord God! Praise the invincible God, Your Highness!"

This is the cheer of the Mexica warrior, full of respect and love.

"Lord God! It is the merciful king! Our supreme king has come!"

This is the tribute of the warriors of Prepecha, devout reverence, even fanaticism.

"Ah! Great Chief! Great Chief Death God! His magic power is boundless!"

This is the exclamation of the Guajili warriors, the awe from the heart, and the prostration from the body.

The black wolf ran amid deafening cheers. He ran up the hill, towards the lake, and finally came under the king's banner of the god of death, the black wolf. He was so excited that he knelt down on the ground facing the familiar tall and straight figure.

"Your Highness! Your black wolf, meet his supreme wolf king!"

"The Lord God bless you! Good! My black wolf, you have lived up to my expectations! You have conquered countless enemies for one year, and you are the most skilled black wolf under my command!"

Xiulot was dressed in royal clothes, with a warm smile on his face, and nodded his praise with a smile. He looked at Hei Lang who was lying on the ground, his eyes were full of approval and satisfaction. Then, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand, shook Hei Lang's hair, and rubbed the other's head. This is the repeated allegiance ceremony between the king and the loyal general, which at this moment represents intimacy!

"Your Highness! I, the black wolf Toltek, will die for you! No matter who the enemy is!"

Black Wolf Toltek knelt on the ground and looked up at His Highness. His eyes were filled with reverence and fearlessness, as well as some hidden expectations.

Hearing this, Shulot raised his brows, looked serious, and nodded slightly. Hei Lang would not say such things at this time without a reason. This is an expression of determination, and the reason for this is probably the rumors circulating in various states.

"My black wolf, get up! You have been fighting eastward for a year, and it is very difficult. Tell me, how is the conquest of Jinwan City going?"

As Shulot spoke, his eyes moved. His gaze swept over Hei Lang's battle armor and copper axe, and soon fell on the upside-down book in the opponent's hand. He gave a surprised "Oh" and said with a smile.

"Very good! Hei Lang, you can't put it down now! I told you before that when I see you again, I hope to impress you. After talking about the military situation, I will come to test you and see your progress in reading and literacy! "

"That's right! Your Highness, for the past six months, I've been listening to you saying that you don't let go of the paper. Uh! For the exam, I've read the entire "Ali Sutra" for two, three, or four minutes. one"

Black Wolf Toltek held his head up, and as he spoke, his head gradually lowered again, feeling a little guilty for some reason. He faltered in his speech, looked around, and then talked about the battle situation on the front line.

"Ah, Your Highness! After the rainy season, I obeyed your will, surrounded but not attacked, and continued to exert pressure. And the continuous Totonac reinforcements came from the east and gathered in the area of ​​​​Jinwan City! Right now, Jinwan City Around, on the west bank of the Adobe River, within a radius of 50 miles, more than ten seaside city-states and more than 30,000 Totonak allied forces have gathered!"

"Counting the 10,000 to 20,000 people I defeated, killed, and surrendered outside Jinwan City before, it can be said that the entire East and West Totonac land, the enemies that can really fight are gathered here!"

Hearing this, Xiulot nodded slowly. He thought about the situation in the land of Totonak, recalled the materials of the high priests he had obtained from his grandfather, and pondered for a long time.

It is exactly one thousand miles from the Holy Land of Ancient Feathered Snake City on the west coast to the Holy Land of Hidden Snake City on the east coast. It is more than two hundred miles from the Totonac people to the Wushan City, Tuhe City, and Rabbit Hill City in the mountains to the shore. That is to say, the seashore of Totonac is about a long strip of more than 1,000 miles along the coast and more than 200 miles in depth, with a total area of ​​about 60,000 square kilometers. This is equivalent to a little more than half of the island of Cuba, a little less than half of England, or a third of Henan. Coincidentally, this is also the area under the direct control of the Lake Kingdom after the Chapala Lake area is completely eaten up in the grand plan.

"The entire land of Totonac is the origin of the Olmecs, with a long history and numerous tribes. The rivers in this area are criss-cross, warm all year round, with dense jungles, and the coast is mostly plains. Thousands of miles across the entire Totonac On the seashore, there are more than 20 large city-states, bounded by the adobe river, divided into East and West Totonac. West Totonac has about 400 miles of coast, while East Totonac has five Baiduoli"

Xiulot was thinking and talking about it in detail. Black Wolf Toltek stood by and listened carefully. Just like ten years ago, when he was selected as His Royal Highness's bodyguard and listened to His Highness's lectures when he was still a teenager.

"Hei Lang, as a general, you have to be familiar with geography and numbers. You have been fighting for many years, and you already have experience and instincts in estimating geography. But you still need to work harder on number calculations!"

Xiulot looked solemn, teaching the black wolf, but with a smile in his eyes, and his words were very patient. Hearing this, Eckart, the chief guard behind him, raised his head, looked at Hei Lang in surprise, and then silently looked away.

"The tribes of Totonac that the alliance knew before are actually limited to four or five hundred miles of West Totonac, and extend at most to the eastern coast of more than one hundred miles. As for the details of the tribes of East Totonac, they are not known. I know. The Kingdom’s exploration fleet should have gained something, but unfortunately they have not returned. The two sides are fighting now, and they are so red-eyed. I hope they will come back later.”

"The estimated population of Totonac by the Alliance is 700,000 to 800,000 people. Now it seems that this number is obviously too small, ignoring the 300 to 400 miles of Totonac's tribes in the east, and 30,000 people have already appeared. There are many samurai, tens of thousands of young men. According to the common ratio of 30 people to one samurai, it is estimated that there will be a population of 1.2 million."

"Hei Lang, the reason why I asked you to stop and wait in Jinwan City is because further east, the geography of East Totonac is very unfamiliar to the alliance! And the army continues to advance eastward, and the supply line for the battle will also It is too long. Once the attack cannot be sustained for a long time, the logistics will be unsustainable, and it is very likely that there will be a disastrous defeat!"

Hearing this, Hei Lang opened his mouth to speak, wanting to refute. The 6,000 Guajili battle group in his hands, the 2,000 Misterk battle group, and the 2,000 White Snake City soldiers are all wolf troops that can travel thousands of miles!

These 10,000 black wolf warriors who have gone through battles are all wolves trained by him. They are very tough and fierce! They don't pick anything to eat, even if there is no food, they can still eat other things. However, thinking of His Highness's consistent attitude towards human sacrifices, Hei Lang pursed his lips and did not dare to reply.

"I stayed in Ancient Feathered Snake City, oh, Snake New City for a month, and asked a lot of local tribal sages carefully. Then, I calculated the number of military exploits reported by the priests accompanying you after you went east, Xito The tribes of Totonac should have 600,000 people originally. The tribes of East Totonac are about the same size, and according to estimates, they should be around 600,000, which is just in line with the estimate just now."

"Now, the tribes of West Totonak have been attacked for a year, and three or four big city-states have been turned into white land. The Kingdom Legion captured more than 100,000 tribal people and went to Shuigu City to farm. Now they are transported to the kingdom. The army Going east, there are estimated to be more than 100,000 Totonac warriors who died in the battle, Totonac young men who fled, and Totonac civilians who died of illness and starvation. And the Jinwan tribes that we have not captured According to the remaining two large tribes of Tuhe City and Yuniao City in the southwest, there should be close to 200,000 people. In the land of West Totonac, which is more than 400 miles away, the tribes that have truly surrendered to the alliance and are in our hands are actually Only 200,000 people."

Having said that, Shulot shook his head secretly. The black wolf is very murderous. It cleaned up the entire West Totonak tribe, and basically killed all the chieftains and chieftains at the top. There is no longer any tribe that can rebel. And he traveled all the way to appease people's hearts, confer land and nobility, and establish civilian and military settlements, and he did not encounter any local resistance. It was indeed much easier.

"So, Black Wolf, you have conquered for a year, destroyed one-third of the tribes of West Totonak, conquered one-third! And the last third was beheaded by tens of thousands Warriors and young men, trapped in the besieged city!"

"Hei Lang, my general, you have actually defeated the tribes of West Totonac and destroyed their city-state alliance! Even the tribes of Jinwan still have a big city and tens of thousands of fighters left, even if Tuhe, The two parts of Yu and Niao have not been settled yet. But they have already broken their backs, so there is nothing to worry about!"

With a calm expression, Xiulot spoke eloquently. For him now, the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people, and the fate of hundreds of thousands of people, have gradually changed from warm objects to cold numbers. He has already experienced too much, and his heart is as hard as blood jade. In his mind, the grand ambition of unifying all ministries in the world and creating an empire and a nation is deeply imprinted! And this dangerous road to the summit is destined to be full of blood and bones.

"Hei Lang, as the commander, you must always stay awake, remember our goal, and see our real opponent! We want to conquer the entire coast of Totonac, and now the real opponent to fight with the Kingdom is the Holy Land of Hidden Snake City Under the leadership of the East Totonac Ministries Alliance! When you think about the real enemy, you will find that capturing Jinwan City is not our most important goal. And this is also my letter to you to lay out a new plan s reason."

"Our plan is to get more fighters from the East Totonac tribes to gather here, to this narrow Golden Bay. Then, the army will send troops from the east in one fell swoop to cut off their eastern rear. Lu, leave all these warriors from various eastern tribes behind!"

"As long as the tens of thousands of Totonac warriors and fighters who believe in Feathered Serpents and follow the call of the Hidden Serpent Holy City finally gather, kill or capture all the tribes of Eastern Totonac, they will all be empty. There is no more courage and manpower to resist! This is much easier than continuing to trek for five hundred miles, fighting hard in a city-state and a village in the jungle!"
