Beiyang new warlord

Thinking of this, Li Dingguo asked sympathetically, "Song Yongzhong, is there any news from Mr. Song?"

"Master Song, with the scout battalion, has been watching. Near Gutierrez, there are only a small group of Spaniards tentatively looking around, and there is no sign of a large-scale deployment of the Western Man!"

Not to mention, even Li Dingguo had to admire Song Yongzhong's detection and penetration ability. Hearing this, he nodded in satisfaction, and immediately returned his attention to cleaning the huge pyramid carved on the cliff. His face was carved, and the raging ambition couldn't stop burning in his pupils.

"That's good!"

"Accompany this group of magic sticks to fool the foolish people, and turn around to take this exotic country. When the time comes, you, Lao Liu, and us old brothers will all be the founding fathers of this general! At that time, I will seal the marquis for you!" Prime Minister, all lands seal the borders!"

After Mao Jue opened the door to the world for the upper elites of Ming Dynasty, people's ideas have changed unknowingly. Since the western barbarians can establish rule in these areas, why should they not, establish a country overseas, and seal the borders with land? It has become a fashion. Hearing Li Dingguo's assurance, Feng Shuangli was also overjoyed. He raised his horoscope and bowed heavily to Li Dingguo.

"At the end, I would like to thank the third young master for his support!"

...........

The preparations for this sacrifice lasted for several days. 10 people tried their best to go hunting in the nearby mountains, go fishing in the sea, and even caught a dolphin back, and prepared a lot of food and sacrifices, but despite this , It is still incomparable with the glorious Aztec festival a hundred years ago. After all, it was dedicated to the 2000 million native Indians on the Mexican plateau and the Yucatan Peninsula at that time.

And compared to that time, there is one less important sacrifice, the living slave sacrifice.

Everyone came here in an uprising. One of the important reasons for the collapse of the Aztec Empire was that the conquered tribes were dissatisfied with the cruel sun sacrifices of the empire. Can't play.

Compared with the glorious Sun Festival back then, this time there are more brilliant gadgets, crystal skulls!Moreover, it is not only the one that Mao Yuer found from the ruins of Meltez in the north, the thirteen Mayan crystal skulls are all here. Li Dingguo was also quite surprised that the five crystal skulls kept in the hands of the five great priests of the Inca Empire were sent over by hundreds of remnant priests of the Incas from thousands of miles away.

Thousands of miles away, still under the rule of the Spaniards, organizing such a large sacrifice, even Li Dingguo has to wonder if these Tianwu really have some magical means, otherwise, in this era without telephones and lack of effective communication, How are they connected together.

But no matter how emotional, after 110 years, the glorious Aztec festival was held again grandly.

If it weren't for bloody human sacrifices, every big sacrifice would actually be a carnival for the Aztecs. On the big square, there are countless barbecue pits, the prey caught these days and the team carrying them. All the stored food in the house seemed to be out of date. When cooking in the barbecue pit, there was a billowing aroma. In the center of the barbecue pit, the three-meter-long dolphin was also grilled and emitting fragrant oily flowers.

The grand ceremony officially started at noon. Tens of thousands of people formed a parade, painted their faces with natural ore pigments, imitated various gods and ghosts, screamed and danced strangely, and some people wore two or three-meter-high masks on their heads. Peacock crests, swaying grass skirts, and perhaps the ancestral roots of later Brazilian carnivals.

The first third of the team was originally where the slaves who were about to be killed as sacrifices were located. This time, they were replaced by crystal skulls. There are a total of [-] shoulders, and the first five are crystal skulls collected by the Incas. , the last seven are crystal skulls collected by the Aztecs, and the last one is the one brought back by Mao Yuer from the north.

If you observe carefully, there are [-] skulls, and there are also great differences. The first seven jaws are not carved and cannot be moved. The entire skull is a crystal, and the last six are finely carved jaws. The upper part is movable, and the last one is called the singing skull, and the first skull has high browbones, ferocious lower jaw, and faint fangs. It seems that there are still some characteristics of ancient apes. The last one Mao Yuer brought However, the skull has round water chestnut corners and exquisite muscle attachment points, which is completely like the skull of modern Homo sapiens.

As for the No. 14 shoulder chariot, Princess Yu'er sat there majestically as a prophet with a skull. She also had more than a dozen tall colored feathers on her head, and she was granted an Aztec The big cloak with Ke’s characteristics, the cloak is embroidered with various patterns of tropical rainforest, jaguar, feather snake, the sun and incomprehensible hieroglyphs. Looking left and right.

But the princess is a princess after all, seeing her staying among the natives, Feng Shuangli was rarely worried this time, and clasped his fists to Li Dingguo worriedly to ask for instructions.

"General, is it too dangerous for the princess to be surrounded by these barbarians?"

"The native monk asked, and the princess didn't refuse, what would I do?"

Mentioning this, Li Dingguo continued to moan, but after the moan, he still shook his head helplessly: "Let Li Sheng lead people to protect the princess tighter, and order the whole army to be vigilant and maintain their formation. Don't move around, and those who disobey the order will be cut off! Keep your eyes open for this general, and deal with this pretending to be a ghost!"

"The last will obey!"

During the entire sacrifice, the only one who did not move was the Ming Army Expeditionary Army. Li Dingguo's more than [-] people all sat in formation in the southwest corner of the Great Pyramid, and the cavalry directly led their horses by their side. There were people, and some cavalry simply mounted their horses, looking at the lively parade and the slender thighs of the indigenous girls in the procession.

Time passed bit by bit, amidst the hustle and bustle of music and dancing, the sun finally set to the west, appearing heavily on the sea, and the sacrifice reached its climax when the sacrifices arrived here. Hundreds of thousands of Mexican Indians followed the team to the holy land Scattered around the barbecue pits in the big square, Crystal Skull and Mao Yuer were divided into two groups, climbed up the hillside along the two bearded corridors of the huge god face behind the city, and gathered at the two nostrils of the god face. He went into a cave, got into the mountain, followed Mao Yuer, and more than [-] soldiers of the Ming army, all protected by full armor.

After a while, a look of surprise appeared on Li Dingguo's face when he looked up. In his gaze, some mechanism was touched, and pieces of dust fell down. The rock with a radius of a few meters retracted back, and a huge and hollow eye of the sky appeared there. The time was clearly calculated accurately, and the afterglow of the pouring sun clearly illuminated the cave of the eye of the sky. The nobleman and the false prophet Mao Yuer were all covered in a golden coat of light.

However, it was precisely because of this strong light that Li Dingguo ignored a detail and sat quietly on the shoulder chariot. Mao Yuer's little face was full of panic at this moment!

Chapter 9 and Three. The Poison of the Heavenly Witch

The magic continues.

I have to admire the wisdom of the Mayans. The opening of the Sky Eye Cave is a round stone table, and the thirteen holes are arranged there according to the Southern Dipper Galaxy. In the cheers of the descendants of the Aztecs like the tide below, the Sky Witch Holding aloft the first Inca crystal skull, placed in the first cavity.

Following this release, a particularly intense beam of light actually stripped from the setting sun in the west and penetrated onto the skull, making the already crystal clear crystal skull as bright as a light bulb, and then the second skull was on again. It was lowered amidst cheers, and the beam of light also shot from the first skull to the second skull.

It is estimated that this scene will not be seen a few times in a lifetime. With the placement of Tianwu one after another, Li Dingguo is also like a demon, staring at Tianyandong, not only him, but also Feng Shuangli, Shen Dong, Wang Ru and other subordinates under his command. Straighten the same eyes.

But at this moment, the sound of hurried horseshoes sounded on the crisp Mayan city stone road, and he suddenly woke up. Li Dingguo's heart tightened, and he looked over suddenly, and saw five fast horses running anxiously and hurriedly. He came over in his own direction, and the leader was Song Yongzhong.

I don't know how long I've been running wildly, people are like fished out of the water, and horses are like fished out of the water, wet and full of sweat, rolling down directly in front of Li Dingguo's army, with a burst of heat, full of hair. Khan rushed to the army, looked around, put his arm around Li Dingguo's shoulder, Song Yongzhong hurriedly lowered his voice and said.

"Something has happened. The Spanish barbarians in Mexico City and the Montmara garrison have a total of 5000 people. They have already crossed Gutierrez City. According to their speed, [-] Spanish cavalry will reach the Holy Land in ten minutes. Ruins, we still let the Tianwu deceive us!"

"Where's the princess?"

His heart sank suddenly, and Li Dingguo also pointed upwards anxiously: "It's on the altar, but don't worry, I sent my hero Li Sheng to take my personal guards..."

There is no more words to say here, with disbelief in his eyes, Li Dingguo stared blankly at the altar next to the crystal skull platform in the Tianyan Cave.

The Mayans were also popular for blood sacrifices, using the blood of mortals to nourish the sun. Under Li Dingguo's dull gaze, two Aztec priests led Li Sheng, the hero he sent to protect the princess, to the altar. , it can be clearly seen that Li Sheng's face is full of panic, fear and disbelief, but he is still obedient as if he was led by a demon, lying on the altar like a fountain, his hands pulled over his head, Locked on the head of the altar with obsidian shackles, the chest was exposed defenselessly.

"Damn!!!"

Almost at the same time as Li Dingguo's angry roar, the Aztec priest who walked up to his chest held up the obsidian knife and slammed down, pulling away Li Sheng's chest. In his chest, a moment later, a bloody heart that was still beating slightly was dug out by him alive.

The bright red blood flowed down the lines under the altar to the face of the god, and the rigid face of the god immediately added a short layer of blood lines. Looking at the priest holding up his heart, below, the Aztec natives with 10,000+ people It also erupted into more fanatical and bloodthirsty cheers.

"shit!"

"Why didn't Li Sheng resist? What evil has he fallen into?"

Seeing that his second personal soldier was led up to the altar in shock and dullness, while Li Sheng was beheaded, and the head and corpse were thrown down the chute of the God's face, and thrown into the pond at the bottom of the mountain , and then the head was picked up by several Aztec priests, and flew towards the Great Pyramid. Li Dingguo's face was already trembling like a lion before predating, roaring furiously.

But at this moment, Song Yongzhong had already calmed down, and looked at the scene with a gloomy expression. He returned to his horse in a hurry, and while untying the saddle and holding the rope, he explained anxiously: "The dart frog Poison, a little bit is enough to paralyze people's nerves, it is one of the poisons commonly used by South American tribes, your subordinates and the princess should have fallen for these bastard ways!"

"I'm going to rescue the princess, General Li, prepare your army for battle immediately, and when the officials come back with the princess, we'll immediately retreat to the south! Third child, let's go!"

Yelling wildly, with a bundle of ropes on his back, Song Yongzhong ran up the mountain frantically again, watching the third child run again and again while twisting the barrel of the gun, and then looked up, seeing that his third soldier was also killed Pushed onto the altar, with nowhere to vent his anger, Li Dingguo pulled out his knife like a lunatic and went straight to the tent where the hostages were locked up. When he opened the curtain of the tent suddenly, a strong smell of blood came to his face. , The three chiefs cut their own throats at some point, and they had died for a long time.

Feeling helpless, Li Dingguo sighed deeply.

"How stupid this is, to believe in the promises of those pretending to be ghosts and sticks!"

...........

The crystal skulls were placed in the slots one by one, and the light refracted by the crystals in the entire Sky Eye Cave became brighter and brighter, but Tian Wu placed them slower and slower. No.11 skulls were placed on the Afterwards, he stood still for a few minutes before picking up the No. 12 skull, but he didn't put it on it immediately.

At this time, the originally happy sacrificial ceremony turned into a battlefield below. In the last ten minutes of the sunset, the Spanish cavalry and the Montmara cavalry rushed into the city at the same time. People bumped into people all the way and rushed to the front of Li Dingguo's army formation, but the ten minutes Song Yongzhong snatched back were enough for him to complete the formation. With a long spear resting on the shield soldier's shoulder, the musketeer nervously raised the Ming-style flintlock gun in the gap. Seeing the Spanish cavalry in breastplate rushing forward, he slammed the trigger.

At this time, the killing in the cave also reached a climax, Li Dingguo's twenty soldiers had all been executed and the life sacrifice was over, and the target of the next life sacrifice was the princess!

The body tried to tremble and resist, but under the paralysis of the dart frog's poison, Mao Yu'er could only be helplessly supported by two priests, and dragged to the bloody altar. Over the head, it was locked on the obsidian shackles under the altar, and the little feet wearing leather boots were also locked by two stones in the footprints carved by the Mayans on the ground.

With a clatter, her clothes were also ripped from the middle, and the crisp peaks were half exposed, and under the seductive gully, the soft and delicate belly was completely exposed under the sharp butcher knife.

But maybe at this time, the dart frog's toxin subsided a little bit, trembling lips, full of fear, intermittently, Mao Yu'er actually managed to speak with difficulty.

"Why, why?"

"Little girl, you have studied the Aztec prophecy very thoroughly, but the last stone carving was hidden by the old man."
