Chapter 396 Burning Food!

The setting sun sank into the sky, reflecting the red light all over the sky. The sky was floating with a sea of ​​blood, taking in the dead. The Hand Snake City fell into the red shadow, welcoming the fate of being doomed to destruction.

Black Wolf sat cross-legged on the top of the city, looking at the enemy city in blood and fire, with no waves in his heart.

He was born into a family of civilian warriors of the alliance. His grandfather died in the north and his father died in the south. In the five-year community military school, senior warriors told them that surviving in battle, being promoted in battle, and then dying in battle is the life of a Mexica warrior.

The meaning of a warrior's existence is to fight for the gods, kings, priests, families, and glory. Therefore, he doesn't care about killing, nor is he afraid of being killed. Everything is just fate.

The tribal warriors in the wilderness don't care about killing even more. For them, death is as common as a meal or a bowl of water. It is difficult for people in later generations to understand how people view death in an era when the average life expectancy is only in their twenties or even less. In short, it is about more Spring and Autumn than the Spring and Autumn Period, and more Warring States than the Warring States Period.

"Captain Black Wolf, all 2,000 Tekos have been executed."

Dai Lu Masat smiled innocently and came with a bloody bronze spear.

"This bronze weapon is really easy to use and sharp. It is not as blunt as ordinary stones, nor as easy to wear as obsidian."

"Haha, bronze weapons are really good, much better than obsidian!"

Black Wolf nodded with satisfaction, holding the bloody bronze sword at his waist, and his words were inexplicably dull.

"Today's battle is like bronze fighting obsidian, not difficult at all."

"Tsk tsk, it's just some Tekos barbarians, the elite have been withdrawn, what's the difficulty? The soldiers only lost dozens of people, and they wiped out a tribe of 10,000 people. The southern barbarians are really weak!"

Dai Lu tsk tsk twice, and his eyes glowed again.

"But the women of the southern barbarians are plump and soft, which makes people feel itchy! That, ah ah, that, respected commander"

"Okay! You have worked hard all the way, so I will let you indulge yourself tonight."

The black wolf glanced at the stupid deer and curled his lips. It is impossible to make the fierce Guakili barbarians disciplined and fight honestly in this life. The black wolf was too lazy to care. He shouted sternly.

"Be sure to leave enough guards!"

"Yes, commander!"

The stupid deer hurriedly received the order and was about to leave immediately.

"Dailu, wait a minute. How many women and children were captured?"

The black wolf thought for a while and asked.

"It is estimated that there are at least 6,000!"

"A full 7,000! One thousand are women and children of the Palm Family."

The red monkey Ozoma hurried over and replied affirmatively. He was exhausted. He first interrogated the elder Tekos who managed the granary, and then went to the granary to count the grain.

"The Lord God bears witness! The southern barbarians are really rich! The food in the granary is enough for 50,000 people to eat for a year! They are not like the poor tribes in the wilderness."

"So many people, so much food?!"

Hearing this, Black Wolf's expression changed. He thought for a while and asked again.

"What is the situation in the villages outside the city?"

"Elder Tekos said that the winding Kan River is the umbilical cord of the mother goddess, nourishing the Tekos people along the river. 60% to 70% of the southwestern tribes settled along the Kan River, and half of them are in the fertile Hand Snake Valley. Excluding the warriors taken away by Chief Chimali, there were originally 10,000 people left in the Hand Snake City, and there were more than 20,000 tribesmen in the villages outside the city. But most of the food in the villages outside the city has been confiscated to supply the chief's army going out of the mountains."

"Seven thousand women and children in the city, more than 20,000 refugees outside the city, 50,000 people a year's food, and we only have 3,000 warriors! Next."

Black Wolf pondered in silence. His Highness's teachings surged into his mind, and various ideas collided in his mind. After a while, a rough plan gradually took shape. Although it was a bit risky, it should satisfy His Highness.

"Captain Black Wolf, this place is too far away! We are 250 miles away from Apachingan City, and 500 to 600 miles away from Patzcuaro City. It will take me more than ten days to run back. In addition, the tribal army of Chimali is blocking the mountain pass, so many captives can't be taken away at all."

The Deer scratched his head stupidly, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

"Kill them! Just kill them all! After killing them once, the southern barbarians will not be able to recover for two generations!"

"No! Don't kill."

The Black Wolf shook his head clearly. He didn't care about the lives of these people, but only about His Highness's reaction.

"Your Highness doesn't like killing, especially killing women and children. Besides, the army went south this time for the sake of the population. If they were all killed in one breath, where would they get serfs for the military nobles?"

The Red Monkey kept thinking and said nothing. After listening to the Black Wolf's words, he finally smiled and spoke.

"The commander is wise! Since we can't take the prisoners away, and we want to get them, there is only one way!"

"Ah? Red Monkey, what do you think?"

Dai Lu was a little curious.

"Burn the food!"

"Burn the food?"

"Haha, good idea!"

Black Wolf was delighted, this idea coincided with his plan!

"Red Monkey, go on!"

"Yes, wise commander!"

Red Monkey smiled confidently, his eyes shining.

"The food outside the city has been almost confiscated, and Qimali's military food is almost all here. We only take away the food that does not affect the operation, and then burn all the food with a fire! Without this batch of food, no matter how hard Qimali rushes to rescue, it will be a dead end."

"It's the end of December now, there are still five months before spring plowing, and ten months before autumn harvest. So many Tekos people can't survive until then! They can't even get enough to grow food. Wait until next year's spring famine , If they don’t want to starve to death, they have no choice but to come out of the mountains and surrender to the Northern Kingdom!”

"Haha! Not bad! That's what we'll do!"

Black Wolf laughed with satisfaction and pride.

"But if you want to do it, let's do it big! Deal with more than 100,000 people from the Southwest tribe at once!"

"Ah? Something big?"

Red Monkey's eyes flashed and he asked respectfully.

"Dear Legion Commander, I wonder what we should do?"

"Haha! His Highness often says that when things get tough, you must be bold. If you are bold, you will be able to eat to your fullest!"

As he spoke, Black Wolf took out a map of the south drawn by the Kingdom of Tarasco. He stretched out his hand and rowed southwest from Hand Snake City to the seaside.

"We start from Hand Snake City and continue to sweep two hundred miles southwest until we reach the endless lake!"

Then he rowed eastward along the seashore until he reached the mouth of the Tulsas River.

"After sweeping out the villages by the big lake, we will go east along the seaside plain and travel four to five hundred miles until we reach the Talsas River!"

"Nearly 90% of the southwestern tribes live along the nearly 700 miles! They were recruited by Chimali. Many warriors are far away from each other, loose and weak. They are the most delicious grass rats in the mouths of wolves! The legions pass by without any need To capture the enemy, we don’t care how many we kill. We just need to burn all the Tekos villages and all the harvested food!”

"Ah! Burn food for seven hundred miles!"

As the sun sets and darkness falls, the bonfire rises and sways, burning the hearts of the warriors. Hearing this, the red monkey and the stupid deer looked at each other, and a trembling excitement ran through their bodies, making people's minds sway.

"Yes! After burning all the way, we got a group of small boats from near the mouth of the Talsas River, where the villages had just surrendered to the kingdom. Then, we rowed the small boats and headed back to the north of Atoyak Lake for three hundred miles. Arriving at Kuramo City!”

After saying that, Hei Lang stood up suddenly and looked at the dark sky and the stars in the south. There is a star there, extremely bright in December. According to His Highness, that is his natal star: named Sirius, specializing in killing!

"They burned food for 700 miles! The more than 100,000 Tekos people along the way could no longer find life-saving food, so they had only one choice: either starve to death in the mountains, or go out and surrender!"

"Ah! The legion commander is wise!!"

The red monkey licked his lips and the stupid deer grinned. The admiration and admiration sounded again, spreading into the night sky of Hand Snake City. Only this time, it was sincere and full of murderous intent!
