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

Obviously, this complex and exquisite knot rope is a special knot rope for the royal family, and only the Inca royal nobles who have been studying can understand the secrets. Judging from the color and meaning of the knot rope, it is to ask the deputy commander of Hasguana to perform such a task: to withdraw from the mountain pass castle, let the enemy enter the flats of the Hoha Valley, and then burn down the small bridge on the Mantaro River, force the enemy to cross the river, and then launch an attack on the enemy, leaving the enemy with no way to escape, gather and annihilate it.

When you see this knot, you know that this is an order issued by a person with a high position, but you don’t know who this person is. But everyone thinks that this plan is good and clever, which denies the suggestion that Pumatanka just now sticks to Yamaguchi Castle.

Of course, Hasguana must know who formulated and issued this strategy, so he did not need everyone to discuss it, but wanted everyone to implement it faithfully and seriously. Moreover, the Indians must obey the orders of their superiors absolutely, and there must be no objections or discounts. Otherwise, they will lose their heads immediately. Even if it is the Inca prince, although he won every battle, returned in triumph, and even made outstanding achievements, as long as he has some disobedience, the Inca king can immediately execute him.

So, Hasguanahe ordered the three generals, "I order you to carry out the mission immediately, withdraw all the soldiers from the mountain pass, burn down the cable bridges on the river, gather all the troops on the bank of the river, and prepare to completely eliminate all the white soldiers who crossed the river." The three generals said in unison, "Yes, my deputy commander." At this time, Supapa said to Hasguana, "What are we doing?" Hasguana smiled, "Let's stand on the high slope and see the scenery."

At this time, Soto had been living in this town called Vanuko for two or three days. After Pizarro and Juan's team arrived, he reported the enemy situation to Commander Pizarro, and discussed some of the ideas of advancing south with Pizarro. Then, he led the cavalry team to continue advancing south.

In many mountain passes and villages where they went south, they could see small groups of Indian soldiers either burning the village or destroying the cable bridges, making all the cable bridges leading to the south destroyed and unpassable. Soto had to take a cavalry team to cross the river on a raft and continue to head south along the royal road. Along the way, small groups of Indian soldiers often appeared not far from them, but when they chased them, the people quickly disappeared. In this way, they drove straight in and headed south. It took only a week to reach Haoha, the garrison of the Chalkucchima army.

Hoha is located in the middle of a very large green canyon by the Mantaro River in the Cordillera Mountains. It was once the capital of a large tribe conquered by the Inca king, and now it is an important town on the way from Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire, to Quito, the capital of Cusco, the Inca Empire. Here, the land is flat, the climate is pleasant, the water is abundant, and the river is crisscrossing. Especially the channels used to irrigate farmland are dense and regular, so the population is abundant and the resources are abundant, which is an ideal place for farming production and life. After the defeat of the Quito army, Atavalpa was in charge of the Quito army, and the remote command of the Quito army to carry out an extinct bloody massacre of the family of the Warscar royal family. Afterwards, after conquering Cusco, Chalkuccima also came here with the arrested Warscar, the queen and his mother, and then he stayed here for a long time in accordance with Atavalpa's instructions.

Because Indians gave up the guards of the mountain pass castle, Soto and his cavalry team easily occupied the castle and came straight to the Mantaro River from the castle. As the temperature gradually increased, the ice and snow in the surrounding mountains and slopes began to melt, causing the river to surge and widen. On the other side of the Mantaro River, tens of thousands of Indian soldiers gathered on the shore, like overwhelming migratory birds, squeezing the spacious slope on the other side of the river to the airtight. Various battle flags fluttered in the wind and the wind sounded. They saw only a small group of Spaniards riding horses to the river bank, holding javelins and battle axes, shouting and demonstrating at them one after another.

Originally there was a small bridge between the two sides of the river, but the Indians had destroyed the bridge. Soto stood in front of the demolished bridge for a while and thought that he would not stay in the river for a while, so he would find a place to live, rest and find an opportunity to cross the river. However, the Indians, relying on the natural barrier of the Mantaro River, thought that the Spaniards would definitely not dare to cross the river, so they kept shaking flags and shouting to the other side of the river, causing the sounds to echo in the canyon.

The Indians' shouts and provocations really angered these Spanish. Since defeating the Inca army in the Battle of Kajamaka and capturing the Inca king alive, the Spanish no longer took the Indians seriously. In their eyes, no matter how many Indians were, they were just a group of bluffing frightened birds. Therefore, seeing the Indian soldiers constantly demonstrating and shouting at them on the other side, they couldn't help but demand to rush over, kill their morale, and destroy their majesty.

At first, Soto was worried that the enemy was too small and we could not fight hard. However, when the soldiers were all angry and could not bear it, Sotoso waved his sword and shouted, "Soldiers, rush, kill me with me." Then, he led the horse and took the lead to jump into the cold river water, and rushed towards the other side of the river. The soldiers had long been unable to bear it. Seeing that the commander took the lead in jumping out of the water, he shouted and jumped into the water. The river was not very deep, so the soldiers led the horse, waved their swords, and rushed forward in the river. When they came to the middle of the river, the water became deeper, and the soldiers floated toward the opposite side.

Originally, the Indians wanted to use the river as a natural barrier. Although the river was not very wide, a large amount of melted ice and snow flowed into the river, making the river water icy. Therefore, they never expected that Spain would be so brave and tenacious, jump into the cold river and rushed towards them. In fact, for the 10,000 or 20,000 Indians gathered, sixty or seventy Spanish people came to swim over and came to die. However, these Indians really became bluffing birds as the Spaniards thought. When they saw the Spanish holding their horses, swinging their swords, jumping into the cold river, they rushed towards them, and were immediately frightened by this unexpected situation.
