A war began with extremely unequal access to intelligence.

In the days since Zhu Hao came to Central America, he did not rush to start a war with the European colonists. He worked more slowly, establishing a firm foothold first, completing the construction of cities and mines, and implementing many of the technologies he had already mastered. It was considered completed.

Initial accumulation of colonial industry and agriculture.

The trees cut down and the food collected alone are enough to feed 100,000 people for a year.

In addition, when on the ship, all the Ming people were vaccinated with cowpox, so they did not have to worry about the existence of smallpox, which almost caused the extinction of the indigenous people in the American continent, which made him less worried.

In the first battle, Zhu Hao wants the European colonists to know that the real owner of this land that has not been developed by civilized people is from the Eastern Ming Dynasty, not you bandits who only know how to plunder but not to manage.

Because of the full cooperation of the indigenous people, Zhu Hao can basically grasp all the movements of the opponent in terms of intelligence acquisition. Defeating them is not Zhu Hao's real purpose. In addition to letting his soldiers and horses practice their skills, he wants to annihilate all the intruders on the way and let them

They never came back, which served as a deterrent so that European colonists would never dare to approach western Central America again.

"Dear King, if we are allowed to charge, I'm afraid our people will collapse immediately."

Jing Jing'er and A Da were both led by Zhu Hao in the army.

Zhu Hao could not keep them in the new city, mainly because he was afraid that they would incite the indigenous residents to rebel while he was away.

And when Jing Jing Er knew that Zhu Hao was going to fight the European colonists, he even deployed their people to the front line, feeling that Zhu Hao was playing tricks on them...

They had come into contact with European colonists before, and they knew how terrifying the enemy was. One or two hundred people could attack and attack without any hindrance... because many indigenous tribes did not even have bows and arrows, let alone bronze.

Or iron weapons...

In addition, they have never seen horses. With their weak strength, the weapons in their hands cannot even penetrate the thick armor of horses. How can they rely on a group of people to swarm up and use their fists and feet to fight against the Francois who have firearms and sabers in their hands?

?

Zhu Hao said: "Don't worry, you won't go to war. The reason why I placed your people on the front line is to let them witness the miracle with their own eyes...

"In the next battle, I want you to know why following me can make your tribe prosper... Remember, I am your god, and I came here to change your tragic fate! If you don't even believe my words

, then it’s only a matter of time before you exterminate your clan.”

It was difficult for Zhu Hao to explain some things clearly to Jing Jing Er and the others.

The best proof is to use a battle of total annihilation without any suspense to break the excessive mythical impression of European colonists in their hearts. From now on, Zhu Hao will be the real god in their hearts.

…

…

Zhu Hao was in no hurry to start a war.

Instead, sentinels were sent to keep an eye on the enemy's every move.

The main purpose was to naturally attract the European colonists to the city of Guadalajara. This would make it easier to annihilate them and make it easier for the natives to watch the entire war.

Zhu Hao's department currently has a small population. His plan is to rebuild the city of Guadalajara and use it as a strong fortress to resist the westward advance of European colonists. The topography here is very suitable for defensive operations... Guadalajara

To the south of Lahala City is Lake Chapala, to the north are mountains and dense forests, and beyond that is a large expanse of Gobi.

In this way, the location of Guadalajara is very important. If you want to take a detour, the resources consumed will increase exponentially, and the Ming army will have longer preparation time to meet the enemy. It will be easier to annihilate the opponent while waiting for work.

.

Unless the European colonists use fleets to bypass South America and kill them... that will make them regret it even more, because the strongest under Zhu Hao is the fleet he commands, but Zhu Hao plans to take the Inca Empire into his own territory.

, and then use the fleet to go around and fight the Europeans head-on.

What we are adopting now is an attraction tactic, releasing Guadalajara as a bait, so that the European colonists will be greedy and send troops to attack. After annihilating their opponents, it will serve as a benchmark for the bullied indigenous tribes in the north and south to know that the true god is in the west of the continent.

, let them move here, seek refuge, and build several decent cities around Guadalajara as Zhu Hao's first territory in Central America.

This area is crisscrossed by rivers and has large lakes to the south. The surrounding resources are relatively rich. At the same time, it is a hub connecting the east and west coasts. It can be used as a trade center and a strong city as a defensive support. When developed in the future, it can even

It exists as a temporary capital.

…

…

The European colonists marched for five days and were about to reach the city of Guadalajara. At this time, they did not realize that the danger was coming.

The people and horses on this road were not walking very fast. They thought that it was the same as in the past. Wherever they went, the natives were watching the wind or fleeing, killing as much as they wanted. It was equivalent to a wonderful armed march.

As the Fo Langji men fell into the encirclement, their escape route was quickly blocked by the cavalry led by Lu Bing.

"Are we going to fight below the city?"

Guan Jing was responsible for setting up the defense line, echoing Lu Bing's troops after the encirclement and isolation.

Although Guan Jing came from a military background, he was a fugitive. His martial arts skills were much better than Lu Bing's, but he was not as confident as Lu Bing in commanding troops and horses in battle.

The reason is that he does not regard himself as a commander-in-chief, but in Zhu Hao's mind, Lu Bing and Guan Jing are both generals under his command, and they can even serve as guardians.

"I don't know where they will react... It seems that in more than ten miles, they will arrive at the city! I'm afraid the war will start before nightfall today."

Zhu Hao discovered that the European colonists accelerated their march.

The Franji people discovered that there were a large number of villages around the city, but the people had temporarily moved away, leaving them with no property. However, there was a city in front of them, and they took it for granted that all the property was concentrated in the city.

Secretly laughing, these natives are really stupid. How many times have they broken into their cities, causing them to bleed into rivers and lose their lives and wealth? Now they actually want to stop us with those fortresses made of stones and wood?

At sunset, when the Franco colonists saw the city walls of Guadalajara, they were surprised to find that it seemed completely different from any city they had encountered before - it was too tall!

"coming!"

Zhu Hao stood at the top of the city, using his binoculars to look at the European colonists less than three miles away.

At this time, the team of the Francois were not aware of the approaching danger. They asked the next two thousand enslaved natives to push the artillery carts towards the city. This time they brought two artillery pieces. According to past experience,

, once the artillery fires, no matter how lethal it is, the natives in the city will definitely flee.

But this time...

Before they could get close to the city wall, the city's artillery fired first.

"boom--"

Shoot it out with one shot.

When the European colonists heard the sound of shelling, they didn't realize what was happening. They saw dozens of black iron balls flying towards them in the air. These iron balls were actually hit near the city wall three miles away. They didn't realize it.

I don't understand where the indigenous artillery came from, and I don't understand how the shells fired by the opponent's artillery can travel three miles away.

The Fo Lang machine guns equipped by the colonists today have a range of only four to five hundred meters, while the much more airtight cannons, similar to the later Hongyi cannons, have a range of only eight or nine hundred meters, less than one thousand meters.

"Wow..."

When the artillery shells landed, the Francois were horrified to discover that it was not just as simple as firing an iron ball. When the shells landed, a violent explosion... filled with smoke, a heat wave, and extremely powerful. Tens of people were surrounded by the explosion point.

Within a few meters, almost no one can survive.

What's even worse...such shells actually exploded in his own team one after another.

…

…

The intelligence is not equal, and the war itself is not equal either.

If the European colonists relied on the first generation of firearms to defeat the Native Americans who were still in the Bronze Age or the Stone Age, then Zhu Hao used weapons from the post-firearm age to teach the European colonists a lesson.

Zhu Hao's goal is not simply to win.

He wanted to annihilate them all, leaving no one alive. He wanted the tens of thousands of natives he brought, as well as the tens of thousands of natives who gathered from all around after hearing the news, to know who is the only true god in the American continent.

The artillery kept roaring, but the cavalry team led by Lu Bing did not show up. They were still hiding behind the Franco robot team. This was to prevent one or two Europeans from escaping and not passing on the information here...

Zhu Hao didn't even use the new muskets. Those muskets were advanced weapons that he had created after more than ten years of continuous experimentation. They even exceeded the scope of flintlock guns. The ignition was no longer with flint, but with fulminant and mercury.

Great improvements have been made in terms of medicine, safety and practicality.

The European colonists were blown to pieces. Many people wanted to escape, but found that there was nowhere to escape.

After this shelling continued for more than ten rounds, very few of them were still standing.

When the people who came out to clean the battlefield appeared, the European colonists who fell to the ground and wailed were stunned.

Are they actually the Native Americans they looked down upon before?

The hatred of these natives towards Europeans has gone beyond ordinary hatred. It is a kind of pain of genocide that goes deep into the bone marrow. They grit their teeth to let this group of white people know what it feels like to be slaughtered.

The weapons in the hands of the indigenous people are not ordinary stone tools or bronze tools, but large knives and spears made of fine steel...

Then all the European colonists were harvested and decapitated, and they became dead souls one by one.

As for the more than 2,000 indigenous people who came with the European colonists, they did not receive good treatment. There were disputes among the Central American tribes themselves. For the indigenous people who followed Zhu Hao, those tribesmen who worked for the Europeans were no longer the same kind.

, it’s useless even if they speak the same language.

Primitiveness is accompanied by selfishness, and even more so by killing.

Zhu Hao looked at this group of people who were supposed to share the same hatred and fight against each other, and he shook his head helplessly.

"Stop them!"

Zhu Hao ordered.

After receiving the order, Guan Jing led the cavalry to complete the final cleaning of the battlefield.

With the appearance of the silver-armored dragoons led by Guan Jing, both the natives who followed Zhu Hao and those who came with the Europeans all knelt down to worship. For them...the miracle before them was too shocking.

Big.

Zhu Hao saw this scene at the top of the city.

I understand in my heart.

It is not a good idea to just rely on a soft policy, let the indigenous people choose to "cooperate" with him, or rule with high pressure. The best way to rule this land is... to use religious beliefs to control them.
