————————————————————————

Life is like a box of chocolate candies, you never know what flavor you will get next.

Although as a Spanish noble officer in the early [-]th century, Narvaez must have never heard of this famous saying of later generations, and he has never even tasted the taste of chocolate candy, but it does not prevent him from having it in his heart. produce similar feelings.

Everything is changing so fast!

The evening before, while inspecting the port construction site that was gradually taking shape, he daydreamed about monopolizing the prosperous trade of various oriental specialties such as spices and silk in this geomantic land after winning the post of mayor of Veracruz Port. The happy life of collecting taxes and counting money every day until the hands are cramped, falling asleep amidst the beautiful vision of the future; but this morning, Narvaez woke up amidst the sound of gunshots like popping beans and miserable screams Come!

Through the yelling of his personal servant who was almost crying, he was shocked and angry to learn that Cortez, the damned leader of the rebels, came back with a huge army that he didn't know where he came from. Puerto Veracruz!

——In order to compete for the legendary oriental trade route that can obtain countless spices, silk and porcelain, under Mr. Cortez's eloquent persuasion, he came from Hispaniola and other Caribbean island colonies The Spanish adventurer finally abandoned the last trace of integrity in his heart, and unscrupulously slashed the butcher knife on the heads of his Spanish compatriots on the island of Cuba, just like what they had done to the Indians.

As a result, the nascent port town that Narvaez had just built turned into a bloody battlefield in an instant!

The guns were rumbling in the bay, and the two fleets, also flying the flag of the Spanish royal family, were fighting each other brutally.

There was a lot of killing on the land, and two Spanish troops with almost the same costumes and weapons were also engaged in fierce and bloody fights.

Shelling, platooning of guns, collision of long spear phalanxes, cavalry charging guerrilla... In order to defend the port under his feet and keep his dream of getting rich, as a veteran of many battles, Narvaez almost exhausted all his skills, He put all the sharp tactics he knew on the battlefield.

Relatively speaking, most of the troops in Cortez's hands are mobs who buy their own equipment and come to make a fortune; while Navaez's is the regular army of the Governor's Palace of Cuba, and many of them have participated in the war in Europe. , It is more sophisticated in terms of equipment and training.

The problem is that the strength of the two sides is really far apart.

Cortés gathered nearly 4000 men this time, while Narvaez only had about [-] troops on hand.

Although Navaez's tactical command is very commendable, he defeated the offensive of the superior enemy several times.But on this flat and empty beach, he couldn't find any favorable terrain to use, and he didn't have time to build any decent fortifications, and he didn't even finish the wooden wall of the port town...

After an hour of fierce competition, when thousands of enemies finally stepped on the corpses of their compatriots, passed through the gap in the unfinished wall, and poured into the port step by step, Narvaez finally gave the order helplessly. Order to retreat and break through.

What made him most desperate was the more one-sided sea battle situation.

Because his two best Spanish galleons had been dispatched back to Cuba more than ten days ago, he delivered the credentials and valuable gifts of the "Emperor of China" to the Governor.Therefore, the Narvaez fleet moored in the port at this time is no match for the Hispaniola fleet in terms of strength.

To make matters worse, due to being caught off guard, the warships at anchor were not ready to sail and start a war at all. Many sailors were still on vacation on the shore. , can't even pull the anchor to break through!

So, standing on the hill behind the port of Veracruz, Narvaez, who had just escaped from the battlefield and was still in shock, saw a burning harbor in great despair-the flying shells made strange whistling sounds, constantly It hit the broken battleship, causing the decks and bulkheads to spray out clusters of debris.Occasionally, the flaming fireballs exploded, beating the hearts of every remnant and defeated soldier like a hammer.

The nearby port and wharf construction site were already in flames, and the few crusade soldiers who hadn't had time to break through were struggling desperately under the siege of their Spanish compatriots.

Suddenly, a series of huge explosions sounded not far away, making the land and the sea seem to be trembling. Narvaez turned his head to look, and suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart——I saw a group of sparks mixed like mushrooms. A cloud of smoke is rising from an already dilapidated galleon, the mast and sails are all engulfed in flames, broken planks, corpses and twisted metal components are flying all over the sky, and the hull is gradually torn in two , collapsed in the explosion and flames... It seems that this ship should have been unlucky enough to be detonated by the gunpowder magazine...

Next, in the increasingly distressed eyes of Commander Narvaez, he saw that his own ship was also tremblingly hoisting the white flag representing surrender, and groups of enemies immediately swayed , stepping on the springboard, boarded the deck with cheers, and skillfully started the looting.

"...Oh! My silks! My spices! My china! Damn Cortes! Don't stop me...I'm going to fight him!"

The dream of becoming rich and famous all went to waste in the flames, which made Navaez go crazy!He first knelt down facing the sea, weeping with infinite grief and indignation, and beat the ground with his fists hard.

Then, at the next moment, Narvaez was like a gambler who lost his fortune by gambling, even his eyes were red. With red eyes, he jumped up, struggling to rush back to the burning port to fight the enemy desperately.

However, before Navaez had time to run a few steps, he was immediately held back by his attendants, and his personal servant didn't care about the dignity anymore, so he grabbed Navaez's ear and raised his head. He shouted loudly, "...My lord, please be careful! There is no point in dying in this place! The most important thing now is to live! Only by living can we take revenge!"

After hearing this persuasion, Narvaez somewhat regained his composure. He took a few breaths and quickly made a decision: "...Forget it, the most important thing now is to preserve yourself... Right now, our fleet has been completely wiped out. Even if we want to escape back to Cuba, we have nowhere to go. We have lost all our food and supplies. If we want to get a chance, we have to go north and seek help from the Chinese. !"

As a result, this group of desperate remnants and defeated generals surrounded the main general Narvaez, rushed down the hillside in a panic, and rushed towards the north.

And after Cortez's army captured the port of Veracruz, they seemed to be busy looting and searching until the remnants of Narvaez disappeared on the horizon, and no one came to stop these slipping fish.

But the problem is that there is a small enemy army that seems to have lost its way. For some reason, it detoured to the north of Veracruz Port, and happened to be in the middle of the escape route of Navaez and his party.

In a wilderness overgrown with vegetation, the armies of the two sides met suddenly, and they were all stunned for a moment.

"...Don't be afraid, let's rush over! Follow me!"

Narvaez, who had nowhere to vent his grievances, immediately roared and raised his whip when he saw this, and led the last few cavalrymen to charge forward.

After all, the opponent was a mob. After a short battle, Narvaez, who was still young with a sword, quickly broke through the enemy's formation. another.

Just as Narvaez turned his head and tried to find the third target, he suddenly saw a rusty spear stabbing at his eye socket... and his helmet had fallen on the spot long ago. what a place!

"……what--"

------------------

At the same time, the Spanish soldiers on the winning side were also proudly inspecting the battlefield, enjoying their victory.

Although these soldiers generally looked a little tired and haggard because they had to rush for tens of miles as soon as they got off the boat, and they had to launch an attack before they had time to rest, but the heavy and rich spoils displayed in front of their eyes at this time were enough to completely calm these people's hearts resentment.

——Most of the tents and huts that stood near the port had been burned to ashes in the melee, but from the captives and corpses, they still found a lot of silk handkerchiefs and scarves, as well as small bags of pepper, etc. Spices, as well as extremely delicate fine salt and sugar.Each of the above-mentioned trophies is very valuable in their eyes. In order to fight for these things, there were even a lot of scolding and group fights.

Then, accompanied by deafening cheers, a group of sailors pulled pulleys and ropes, and moved out huge oak barrels from a certain captured enemy ship.

Then, the sailors and soldiers couldn't wait to remove the wax seal on the mouth of the barrel, and each took out a piece of oriental specialties that left them stunned-gorgeous silks and satins embroidered with patterns of flowers, birds and animals, crystal clear glass vessels, as clean as Jade blue and white porcelain cups and plates, dazzling modern plastic jewellery, bags of tea, pepper, cinnamon and cloves, boxes of sweet and tangy preserves and pastries... Certain Spanish military officers who claim to be knowledgeable will also He put the blue and white porcelain plate close to his ear and tapped it a few times, then put it away carefully with a smile on his face.

These gifts, prepared by Director Ma himself and pretending to be "gifts from the Chinese emperor" to fool the King of Spain, are naturally very magnificent, luxurious and eye-catching in appearance. For the ignorant Spanish bumpkins, everything is It is so dizzying, just like the rich and mysterious oriental world described in "Marco Polo's Travels"...

"...Everyone be quiet! Be quiet! The battle is not over yet! These trophies belong to you, no one will snatch them from you!"

Cortez stood on a captured bronze cannon and gave orders vigorously, "...Castillo, please gather your cavalry as soon as possible and go after the remnants of Narvaez. Then we have to discuss, How should we treat those Chinese who have humiliated us..."

It is a pity that certain things in this world will always undergo some shocking changes when it seems that everything is under control... Well, maybe there is only such a derailment and collapse , is the wonderful life that will accelerate the secretion of adrenaline!

For example, just as His Excellency Hernan Cortez, who had just turned defeat into victory, was standing on the ruins of Vera Cruz port with smoky smoke, and was smugly planning the next battle strategy, he suddenly received a message that almost shocked his heart. Bad news to stop beating:

"...Commander! Not good! The Aztecs in Tenochtitlan have rebelled! Commander Alvarado is under siege in the palace. There are thousands of enemies. He may not be able to hold on." How long!! Please be sure to lead your troops to rescue quickly!!"

As a result, Cortes, who was in chaos for a while, no longer cared about chasing the remnants of Narvaez and dealing with the Chinese who did not know where he was, so he hurriedly gathered all his troops and turned around to attack Tenochtite. Lan Cheng, went to rescue his confidants.
