Chapter 41. Blood in a River

The Inca Lesson (Fiction) "The Demolition of the Inca Empire" (Volume 2) Zhang Baotong

Just as the Quito people were retreating, Manco directed the soldiers to shout, and rushed to the cold river, and rushed towards the opposite side. When Kito saw the Incas rushing over, he was even more panicked and fled everywhere in vain. In this way, the Incas soon rushed across the other side and prepared to chase the scattered Quito people.

However, at this time, Kiskis led a team of more than 2,000 soldiers, holding javelins and spears, and blocked the fleeing soldiers. The fleeing soldiers could only turn around and start to resist the incas who were chasing them towards them. So, nearly 10,000 Incas who came across the river and nearly 30,000 Quito people started a face-to-face battle on the spacious and flat barracks playground.

This kind of war in the sea of ​​people is actually a massacre. Killing sounds are shaking, short arrows are flying like shuttles, javelins are flying, and stone throwing stones are shooting at the other side. The shouts of soldiers are shouting together with the screams when they are stabbed by weapons, and the scene of killing each other is even more terrible. At this time, the Quito people, who were frightened by Spanish guns and cannons, began to fight against the chasing Incas with superior forces under the pressure of the supervising troops, began to fight against the chasing Incas with superior forces.

He rushed over and relied on his obvious superior forces and the strong and fierce northerners to siege and squeeze the Inca soldiers towards the river bank. The Incas could not resist it and were almost retreating to the riverside of the Mantaro. If they continued to retreat, the Incas would suffer a catastrophe. At this time, Almagro commanded the Spanish cavalry to cross the river bank, rode their horses and swung their swords, and rushed towards the Gito soldiers in red uniforms.

The Spanish cavalry rushed into the melee between the two armies like autumn wind swept through the fallen leaves. When they saw soldiers wearing red uniforms, they waved their swords and slashed. While the Gito soldiers were fighting with the Inca soldiers, a new force with such a brave force suddenly increased, and the situation of the battle immediately reversed.

When the Gito soldiers saw the Spanish cavalry as if they were rushing over the iron stream, they didn't care that anyone was supervising the battle behind them, they fled everywhere. Although the supervising troops killed many fleeing soldiers, they still couldn't stop the fleeing soldiers. Soon, the fleeing soldiers even broke down the defense line of the supervising troops. Therefore, the situation was directly encountered by the supervising soldiers and the Spanish cavalry. These supervising troops were elite troops composed of the northern Liva people. They were not only barbaric and fierce, but also bloodthirsty and warlike. They were invincible in previous battles of the Inca Empire, which made the other side often frightened.

However, the short axes they held were obviously at a disadvantage compared to the long swords swung by the Spanish cavalry. Therefore, the Spanish cavalry rushed over like arrows. Regardless of whether they were the Quito or the Livas, they swung their swords and killed them, and immediately cut down a large area of ​​the Livas who were supervising the battle. These Livas, who were not afraid of death, immediately found that they were no match for these big white men at all. There was only one way to die. They immediately threw down the short axes and javelins in their hands, mixed in with the other soldiers and began to flee around.

The Spanish cavalry and Inca soldiers chased them all the way to the end of the canyon. The soldiers of Khakido were filled with blood and corpses everywhere. Fortunately, some fast-running soldiers fled to the mountain pass castle in the north, and under the organization of Kiskis, they used the mountain pass to temporarily block the pursuit of the Spanish cavalry and the Incas, which caused the Spanish cavalry and the Incas to stop the pursuit.

At this time, it was already dark, and inside and outside the solid castle north of Haoha Town where the Kiddo soldiers fled, there were nearly 20,000 terrifying Kiddo soldiers. The castle could only be imported or exported by one or two people, but thousands of people were rushing into it. The castle was already full of soldiers. While gasping, they lay on the hard stone floor, glad that they could escape from the massacre. Those who came in behind could only go through the passage in the middle of the castle to find a place on the hillside behind the castle. Therefore, the hillside was also filled with escaped soldiers.

In a narrow stone house in the castle, the deputy commander of the army, Tunu, and several other generals, sat on the stone bench. They bowed their heads and remained silent, silent, and looked depressed and defeated, waiting for the commander Kiskis to give the order to retreat. Because more than 20,000 soldiers were crowded in this small land, with neither food nor drink, nor even a place to sit down.

Suddenly, some soldier shouted, "The white man is coming on horseback." The soldiers inside and outside the castle immediately became frightened and panicked like frightened birds. The soldiers in the castle ran towards the hillside north, and the soldiers who had not yet entered the castle even squeezed into the small gate of the castle like a life. For a moment, the entire castle was filled with horror and screaming.

The deputy commander and generals hurried out of the stone house, came to the city wall and looked into the depths of the canyon, but did not see any pursuers. So Tunu shouted loudly at the panicked soldiers, "Where are any white people chasing them on horseback? Why are you panicking?" Then, he asked the soldiers loudly, "Who called me just now? I cut his head." However, the soldiers all lowered their heads and did not answer, and were still in panic.

Back in the stone house, a general named Nanaska said to Tunu, "Great Deputy Commander, what time do you think this battle will last?" Tunu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I will lose any time any time I fight." Hearing the deputy commander's words, another general named Quchukaya also boldly said, "Since you can't win, why are you still fighting it? Why not surrender, at least you can save your life." If you say this in your usual way, you will be beheaded and made public. However, not only did no one criticize or oppose his words, but resonated with everyone.

General Nanaska also said, "That's right, how can we win if we fight against the white pegasus sword? Otherwise, the more we fight, the more we get angry, and in the end we have to cut our heads."

Speaking of this, Kechukaya said to Deputy Commander Tunu, "Or, you persuade Commander Kiskis to surrender the big white man early. At least he can save his life." Tunu thought for a moment and said, "I want to say this to him, but if he turns his back and says I am betrayal, wouldn't he want to chop my head?" Nanaska cheered the Deputy Commander and said, "If he wants to kill you, we will kill him first, and then support you as the commander." Tunu frowned deeply and said, "Do you take this seriously?" The other generals said in unison, "Seriously." Tunu said, "Okay, I'll try to see."
