Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the number of people is similar.  Moreover, the composition of the Aztec army was complex, and its combat effectiveness was somewhat worse than that of the Mayans.  But with the efforts of more than 20,000 Aztec troops trained by Marshal Walter and equipped with steel weapons.  The Aztec forces still held out for about four hours.

    They withstood dozens of fierce attacks by Mayan warriors.  And there were stones like hailstones, stone spears and feather arrows.  With nearly 20% casualties.  The Aztecs still stood their ground.  There is no sign of collapse.  .

    This frustrated Maya.  After such a long battle.  They also lost nearly half of their army.  And more importantly, these Mayans were beginning to feel tired.

    Seeing that his opponent's morale and physical strength were greatly worn away.  Marshal Walter acted decisively in Chapter 53: Civilization or Barbarism.  He led the Norman troops under his command to rush out from the rainforest area on the flanks.  The marshal was led by hussars and Norman knights.  Norman assault infantry were deployed on the flanks.  Launch a fierce charge with a broad front group.  With just one attack, a big hole was made in the Mayan array!

    How could the Mayan natives, who had never even seen a war horse, withstand the charge of the ace cavalry of the Norman Empire, the most powerful cavalry nation in the world?  !  How can those wooden sticks and stone axes break through the defense of fine steel plate armor?  !  How can cotton cloth armor defend against lances and battle axes?  !

    With just one charge, the Mayans collapsed.  The combined forces of the Normans and Aztecs immediately pursued them.  However, because the terrain of the tropical rainforest is too complex.  It also limited the speed of the hussars.  So even though the coalition forces pursued and killed them for nearly two days.  In the end, many Mayans escaped.

    "Sure enough. Expansion cannot be completed in a place like this by relying solely on force." After that, Marshal Walter sighed - this battle probably destroyed more than half of the Mayan army.  But still 30,000 Mayan soldiers escaped.  If they change tactics because of this, don't fight them head-on.  Instead, use the harassment tactics of the civilized or barbaric team in Chapter 53 of Xiaobu.  I'm afraid it will become very difficult to completely defeat the Mayans.

    After this, Marshal Walter interrogated some of the Mayan captives.  I learned about several hidden cities of the Mayans nearby.  and raided these places over the next few days.  The main force of the Mayans was completely wiped out.

    But Marshal Walter knew.  This is just the beginning.  Sure enough, in the next few days.  when they brought with them a great deal of booty as well as prisoners.  On their way back to their city in the peninsula region.  They were ambushed by a large number of scattered Mayan troops.

    Although most of these ambushes and surprise attacks were cracked by Marshal Walter, who was well prepared.  However, there were still a few clever attacks that caused some damage to the coalition forces.

    Such annoyance slightly diluted the joy of victory over the Mayans.  At the same time, it also deepened Marshal Walter's boredom.

    And when Marshal Walter returned to his territory.  Think carefully.  After the prisoners of war and spoils of war are fairly distributed.  This is how a bigger trouble appeared.

    The Aztecs living in the viceroyalty felt that they could abandon the old emperor and country.  A new country was reestablished on this peninsula.  They found Marshal Walter.  Claiming to be willing to make Marshal Walter their king.

    Face these passionate Aztecs.  Marshal Walter was a little at a loss - agreeing would never work.  Because he has sworn allegiance to his emperor.  However, if they refuse, it will make these Aztecs feel disappointed.

    In the end, Marshal Walter made a compromise decision.  He promised the Aztecs a new nation.  At the same time, he rejected the Aztecs' desire to elect him emperor.  And he manages the country as governor and consul.

    at the same time.  He sent a messenger.  Take the fastest warship back to Norman.  Tell his emperor everything that happens here.  In addition to repeatedly showing his loyalty, he also expected the emperor to give him a name.  Let him better manage this new territory.

    He highlighted today¡¯s difficulties in his letters.  It was not easy for him as a Christian to control these primitive Aztecs.  Regardless of culture or religious beliefs, lifestyle.  These people were all very different from the Normans.  If he doesn't act carefully, I'm afraid his efforts here for more than half a year will be ruined.

    Of course, when he did not get permission from the Norman Emperor, he did not stop eating because of choking.  Instead, he set out to create his country - or a feudal territory would be more appropriate.

    He repeatedly told these Aztecs.  You can't be an emperor by yourself.  Because he is from the other side of the world, the emperor of the Norman Empire.son.  When he came to Central America, he also followed the emperor's orders.

    Although the Aztecs still didn¡¯t understand.  But things continued anyway.  Marshal Walter's governorship extended to half of Central America and was close to a kingdom in Europe.  In other words, it is as big as a Norman province.

    Marshal Walter acted in accordance with Norman law and on this basis fully respected the traditions of the Aztecs.  At the same time, he tried his best to persuade them to abolish cannibalism, dismemberment, skinning and other tortures.  Of course, the most important person was martyred, and Marshal Walter did not dare to abolish it.  We can only let the Aztec priests kill those sacrifices in a more civilized way.

    The power of the Normans in Central America continued to increase.  However, at the same time, Marshal Walter gradually felt that he was somewhat powerless - because there was no thorough consideration before the expedition.  This time all those who came with Marshal Walter were soldiers and baggage.

    There are no officials who are good at management.  Originally, when his territory was only part of the Yucatan Peninsula, he could still manage it.  But now, the scope of his management has expanded more than ten times.  The population and the number of slaves also increased to millions.  It's up to him to do it all by himself.  It's just too forced.

    After all, his profession is that of a marshal and a commander.  rather than administrative officials.  Marshal Walter knew that those Aztec nobles were not actually reliable.  Yet he had no one else to use.  The military can provide some officers to temporarily serve as local governors.  But Marshal Walter feared that such behavior would encourage warlordism.  and would affect the combat effectiveness of his Norman army.

    after all.  Although at this time the Aztecs regarded him as their leader.  The army under his command also swelled to 100,000 people.  But the foundation he can rely on.  It was still the Norman army of 12,000 to 3,000 men.
