Jinyi champion

Chapter 1083 The War of Destruction
The army of the Inca Empire, led by the emperor Huayna Capac, was stationed in a city about seventy miles away from the mining area where Zhu Hao was located.

This city had already been taken by the Ming army, but as the scattered Ming army "not taking it at night" discovered the arrival of the main force of the Inca Empire army, Zhu Hao wanted to lure the enemy to fight near the mining area. On the battlefield, the top leaders of the Inca Empire were captured in one fell swoop, and the ultimate goal of controlling tens of millions of people in South America was achieved. Therefore, they ordered the shrinking of the defense line and voluntarily abandoned all cities on this line.

The emperor of the Inca Empire and his generals still had certain military talents. They were not fooled. Before they could find out the details of the Ming army, they took the initiative to stop marching and stationed in a city on the hillside. A banquet was set up in the city, and envoys were sent to invite Zhu Hao to be a "guest"... Those who didn't know thought that the Incas deliberately set up a "Hongmen Banquet" to see if Zhu Hao had the courage to go to the meeting.

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

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

After all, Guan Dezhao was born as an escapee from a military household in the Daming Guard. In Zhu Hao's army, his son Guan Jing's contribution and prestige are far greater than his.

Also as a father, Lu Song has the identity of a thousand households of Jinyiwei, which to some extent represents the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty and has a huge deterrent effect. In contrast, Guan Dezhao does not have any halo protection, and now he is eager to prove himself.

Zhu Hao thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll send you [-] cavalry, and I'll send [-] Aztecs and [-] South American natives to join the battle... The Aztecs are equipped with iron spears , and the South American aborigines temporarily act as strength, give them a long stick to protect themselves, and can form an array to fight against the enemy if necessary... If you can't capture that city, you can wait for follow-up reinforcements to arrive."

"enough!"

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

Even if Zhu Hao only assigned him [-] cavalry, he would dare to take it head-on with [-] troops, let alone having far more than this number.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "In addition, I will dispatch another five hundred militiamen to you. They will carry new-style firecrackers and fully cooperate with you in fighting, but they will bring the local aborigines to escort the artillery and food, and they will serve in your army later. .”

"Order."

Guan Dezhao knew that he was finally no longer just stationed on the coastline, the lord who dealt with trivial matters all day long, his brows relaxed, his eyes gleamed, adding a bit of vigor.

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

……

……

Zhu Hao didn't have high hopes for the team led by Guan Dezhao, which seemed to have several thousand troops, but actually had an effective force of no more than [-] cavalry to attack the "Royal Forest Army" of the Inca Empire.

Seventy miles is not far.

In just over a day, the troops led by Guan Dezhao had already stationed five miles below the Incas city.

The city built by the Incas is very characteristic. It relies entirely on the geographical location to build the city. To enter the city, you can only climb the steep slope from the bottom up and pass through a relatively narrow and steep mountain road to reach the city gate. This is very unfavorable to the attacking party.

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

The Andes Mountains are the long and narrow mountains on the west coast of South America, and the birthplace of the Inca Empire is around the Andes Mountains. They rely on this natural danger to stop the flood beasts, and rely on geographical advantages to fight against hostile tribes. If they win the battle, they will successfully annex the opponent. Just hide in the mountains, wait until you regain your strength and then go out to fight, almost everything will be beneficial, and gradually establish a seemingly impregnable empire in this area.

If there were no outsiders invading, maybe the Inca Empire would gradually produce its own characters, start slowly climbing the technological tree, and catch up with the Eurasian civilization. Unfortunately, everything is just a hypothesis. Whether it is European colonists or pioneers from Ming Dynasty, All formed a comprehensive technological crush on the Inca Empire, and it was impossible for the Inca civilization to develop again.

Guan Dezhao arrived at the valley below this city that didn't even have a name, and there was an exchange of fire between the two sides that night.

The Inca Empire army has the blessing of the emperor who symbolizes the gods to come to the front line. From the officers to the soldiers, they are extremely "brave". They rushed out of the city, gathering about six or seven thousand infantry, wielding axes and stone spears, and directly attacked the Ming army. The forward position launched an attack.

Not surprising at all, Guan De summoned the [-] coastal residents of the Inca Empire accompanying the army to scatter like birds and beasts.

They were too afraid of the army led by the emperor of the Inca Empire, because in their memory, the imperial "Guardian Army" had powerful "metal" weapons... Although they were only sporadically equipped with bronze spears and swords, in the deep-rooted thinking of the indigenous people, That is a sharp weapon that can cut and pierce the body, not to mention wearing "armor" as a guard, something like a coir raincoat... the kind of clothes woven from grass and trees, in the eyes of the coastal residents of the Inca Empire, old Awesome.

Then, while the people on the coast were fleeing, Guan Dezhao ordered his gunners to fire.

"Boom-"

The artillery fires.

Guan Dezhao only brought [-] portable artillery pieces, and the explosive shells sprayed out from the muzzle, crossed a perfect parabola, and exploded piece by piece after hitting the ground.

Following the continuous firing of twenty cannons, the hapless Inca imperial guards on the opposite side immediately saw what a "dimensionality reduction strike" was. Before they got close to the Ming army's position, they were directly blown into the sky.

The Royal Forest Army of the Inca Empire wanted to rush forward, but the Ming cavalry had already lined up to fight, killing more than 1000 people in a few rounds.

Then the remaining soldiers of the Inca Empire turned around and fled up the mountain without hesitation.

As a result, the coastal residents who had fled before gathered spontaneously, followed the Ming cavalry to charge, and then jumped over the horses and directly attacked the city gate on the hillside.

……

……

Guan Dezhao did not capture the city gate that night.

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

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

Before dawn the next day, the second wave of troops sent by Zhu Hao, that is, five hundred civilian troops, arrived with food and ten heavy artillery pieces.

The heavy artillery is a mortar, and the shells are solid bullets. The task is to blow up the enemy's city wall, so that the cavalry and infantry can rush into the city.

Yesterday, Guan Dezhao led the army and had a great time fighting. Now that the reinforcements arrived, he thought he could capture the city on the hillside within a day. Unexpectedly, the emperor of the Inca Empire sent envoys to make peace after realizing that his side was weak.

"Honorable Angel Messenger, our king is willing to offer tribute every year in exchange for long-term stability."

Guan Dezhao said: "Tell the other party, unless their king originally went out of the city to plead guilty with a thorn... Do you know what a plea with a thorn is? It means surrendering with bare upper body and carrying a thorn, otherwise there is no talk."

The news brought into the city.

There was a lot of restlessness!
Guan Dezhao's attitude angered the defenders, or in other words, angered the Inca emperor. The emperor immediately sent [-] troops out of the city to once again "decisive battle" with Guan Dezhao's regular army.

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

There is only one intention...to cover the breakout of the Inca Emperor.

As a result, while the city on the mountain sent 2 troops to the west of the city to attack, the east side of the city was backed by the hillside, and there were about [-] horses on the other side, but they came out of the low east gate like headless flies. Then began to flee.

Seeing this scene from the foot of the mountain, Guan Dezhao was extremely anxious.

It's a pity that he can't divide his troops to the other side of the city to encircle them now.

It is easy for the soldiers and horses he led to fight with the native soldiers in the wilderness. Anyway, the opponents are wearing grass clothes with stone axes, and they are not lethal at all. , If you want to divide your troops to pursue it, it will be even more difficult.

After all, there is a city protected by a tall city wall between the east gate and the west gate, and there are small trails on the mountain. If you want to pass the [-] "Imperial Forest Army" of the Inca Empire rushing forward, after breaking through the city, you will have to surround and protect the army of the Inca Empire emperor. It's just a fool's dream.

Guan Dezhao couldn't help feeling annoyed that he didn't attack the city overnight, which resulted in missing an excellent opportunity to make contributions.

……

……

The second battle, without any accidents.

The Inca Empire sent a city to block the 2 troops of the Ming army. They had no intention of fighting, and they also knew that they were defeated by the "army of gods". Therefore, as soon as the two sides fought, a large number of people dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

Guan Dezhao kept Zhu Hao's instructions in mind. These are rare labors. In the future, the American colonies will need a lot of manpower. It is necessary to save the lives of these captives.

But the coastal people who followed him didn’t think so. They hated the officers and soldiers of the Inca Empire deeply. The property accumulated by their years of hard work was plundered, and their parents, wives and children died in the hands of these people, so when they saw When the once lofty and invincible enemy knelt in front of him and became weak and deceitful, he rushed forward to teach him a lesson without hesitation.

Most are stoned.

Even though Guan Dezhao strictly ordered the natives on his side not to do anything wrong, the effect was not obvious.

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

Fortunately, what happened next made the scene quiet again.

But behind the city, the Imperial Forest Army of the Inca Empire, who had already fled to the depths of the mountains in the east, fled back to the city in desperation. Because of the position on the top of the mountain, a Ming army appeared, blocking the emperor's way back east.

This Ming army was not like Guan Dezhao’s bloody massacre. They were condescending, holding firecrackers and firing at the void. Only the stubborn Inca soldiers who approached the Ming army’s position and tried to fight hand-to-hand would be shot.Seeing their companions fall in batches, the Inca imperial guards immediately collapsed, and then the Ming army rushed down from the position, driving the defeated Inca soldiers back to the city like ducks.

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

Zhu Hao intended to close the door to beat the dogs. As soon as Guan Dezhao led his people to set off, he led the army to detour to the rear of the Inca Empire army, directly climbed to the top from the back mountain, and set up a blocking position in advance, and easily achieved the goal of preventing the Inca Emperor from moving into the city. Fully surrounded.

After finally deceiving the emperor of the Inca Empire, let him escape easily?
Killing is not enough, just to capture the dog emperor, Zhu Hao doesn't want any gold, silver or women, he needs to issue orders in the name of the emperor, so that the manpower and material resources of the entire Inca Empire can be used by him.

There is no need to disrupt the power structure of the Inca Empire, just let them serve their goals.

If you don't accept it...then kill it and raise a puppet up.

Isn't that how dynasty changes have been done since ancient times?

Take the emperor first to order the princes!

In the end, it made sense to replace it!
When the encirclement circle was formed, and it was impossible for the emperor of the Inca Empire and the Imperial Forest Army to break through, Zhu Hao immediately dispatched outstanding talents selected from the people on the coast as a diplomatic season to enter the city to negotiate with the emperor, but still insisted that the other party should leave the city and surrender.

As long as the emperor of the Inca Empire is willing to come out of the city, his personal safety will be guaranteed, and he does not need to pay a huge ransom. The only requirement is to submit to Zhu Hao and treat Zhu Hao as the "Supreme Emperor" or "God".
