Chapter 768

Episode 768: A self-inflicted disaster…. (3)

Bang! bang!

“Do your best to escape as quickly as possible!”

Admiral Ahn Sang-soo, who defeated the Aztec warrior running with his reloaded rifle, shouted loudly to his subordinates.

However, contrary to the admiral’s earnest wish, the imperial army’s escape did not speed up.

One was the problem of moving the cart, and the other was the problem of the Aztec warriors coming from all directions. To be more precise, the Aztec warriors were dead or injured and fell to the ground.

In order to suppress the Aztec warriors coming out in droves from the front of the escape route, concentrated fire had to be fired from wagons. Each time, the imperial army had to turn the lead cart to the side, and each time the procession had to stop.

The concentrated fire of the freight cars slaughtered the Aztec warriors who rushed at them. The problem was that the corpses of the dead Aztec warriors and the seriously injured Aztec warriors who fell to the ground filled the road.

No matter how large and solid the wheels of the imperial cart were, no matter how powerful the horses pulling the cart were, it was almost impossible to pass while trampling over the corpses and wounded that filled the road.

Therefore, whenever the road was blocked like this, riflemen had to rush out and move the corpses and wounded to one side.

The problem was that about half of the riflemen who rushed out were those on guard duty.

This was to prepare for attacks by Aztec warriors disguised as corpses and wounded Aztecs who still had remaining strength, as well as unexpected surprise attacks.

As this situation was repeated, the escape of the imperial army was slow.

“shit! “It would be a big problem if I got paid like this!”

Admiral Ahn Sang-soo was frowning at the situation that was not going well.

The admiral’s men did the same.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang! Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!

The imperial soldiers swore as they pulled the trigger at the Aztec warriors coming from all directions.

“Holy shit! “I didn’t even touch an anthill!”

“No matter how many times I kill, there is no end to it!”

“If you want to live, kill!”

The imperial army, which was struggling like this, soon gained an unexpected helper.

They were men and slaves from surrounding tribes brought in to be used as sacrifices.

“@#$^$$#@!”

“huh?”

Imperial riflemen, who were moving around to remove the corpses of Aztec warriors that filled the road, aimed their guns at the urgent cry coming from one side.

There was a cage with a strong wooden fence, and people with painted bodies wearing swords and shackles on their necks and legs were shouting at the imperial warriors.

The imperial soldiers who tried to ignore them at first stopped when they saw their sad expressions and voices.

“Fuck! I don’t know!”

Eventually, Meoksoe, an imperial soldier nearby, took out a small hatchet from his belt and struck the thick rope that was tying the entrance to the cage.

For Imperial Navy soldiers, a hatchet was one of the must-have tools.

This was because it was the most useful tool when a ship had to be repaired in a hurry due to a storm or other accident, or when cutting ropes thrown by pirates who were desperately rushing forward.

With two or three strokes of the axe, the rope was cut and the cage door was wide open.

The prisoners and slaves who came out through the open door presented the swords and shackles that were restraining their bodies to the ink.

“Shit! I saved him and he told me to give him the bundle! “Holy shit!”

The man who opened the cage cursed and used an ax to cut off the handcuffs and shackles of the prisoner who ran to the front. Meoksoe, who cut off the prisoner’s handcuffs and shackles, handed the prisoner an ax.

“Fuck! Now take care of it!”

After completing his errands, Meoksoe ran to join the main camp.

However, without missing the gap, the Aztec warriors flocked in, and Meoksoe pulled the trigger of the rifle he was holding.

bang! Slam! bang! Slam! Slam!

“Holy shit!”

After only firing two shots, Meoksoe became contemplative after seeing the gun with an empty magazine. When the Aztec warriors saw this and rushed towards him with shouts, the prisoners he had freed ran towards the Aztec warriors holding the macuahuitl that had fallen on the ground.

The prisoners, who quickly subdued the Aztec warriors around Meoksoe, looked at Meoksoe. Meoksoe screamed at the sight of him clearly wanting me to go with him.

“Shit! Follow me!”

* * *

As the prisoners joined, the retreat of the imperial army actually accelerated.

This was because prisoners who joined the ranks of the imperial army began to play a large role.

They cleared the road by clearing the bodies of Aztec warriors killed by fire from freight cars and rifles, and swung their weapons at the ambushing Aztec warriors.

Especially when dealing with Aztec warriors, the captives looked like Yasha.

Admiral Ahn Sang-soo shook his head involuntarily at the fierce and cruel sight.

“How much resentment must I have… But I understand.”

It was certain that those prisoners were the source of the human flesh that appeared at the banquet hall. Admiral Ahn Sang-soo understood how they must have felt as their colleagues had been turned into a meal and it was certain that they would have been the same.

“Isn’t it a good thing that I know not to go too far?”

If you look at the Aztec warriors, they were prisoners who attacked without hesitation, but as time went by, they did not leave the ranks of the Jegu army.

They also learned that in order to escape this place, they had to stay away from the imperial army.

* * *

After a fierce struggle, the imperial army and prisoners were able to break through the gates of Tenochtitlan.

Admiral Ahn Sang-soo, who saw the long causeway and bridges leading to where the main force was located, stretched out his hand forward and gave an order.

“Speed up! Join the main force!”

At Admiral Ahn Sang-soo’s order, the carts lined up in a single line and went up the causeway.

While the horses pulling the cart moved at a trot, Imperial riflemen and prisoners moved on the left and right of the cart, looking left and right.

“It’s the enemy!”

“It’s the enemy!”

bang! Tatang! Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!

As canoes carrying Aztec warriors flocked from both sides of the causeway across the lake, the wagons began spewing fire all at once.

“We have the advantage here! Suppress your enemies as efficiently as possible!”

Admiral Ahn Sang-soo, who commanded the unit, looked much more at ease. As they just said, this causeway was a very advantageous terrain for them.

Although it was a single road, the carts running in a row and the soldiers lined up on the left and right were the front line of the imperial army, and the enemy wooden boats rushing across the lake were converted into pirate ships or the front line of the Ming Dynasty, which was an aspect of a naval battle fought by the imperial navy.

The Imperial Navy was invincible in naval battles taking place in the open sea where there was no cover to hide.

“If only there had been a sudden return, the situation would have been over in the evening! Come to think of it… an armored towed vehicle would be perfect for an assault return line!”

Admiral Ahn Sang-soo, who had a slightly regretful expression as he thought about the armored towing vehicles used by the Empire’s main army, soon cleared his expression and raised his voice.

“Think of your enemies as pirates! Our Imperial Navy has never lost against pirates! Sweep away! We have to get through before they mess with this causeway! “Keep them away from the causeway!”

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!

As if in response to the admiral’s order, the wagons loaded on carts fiercely poured bullets at the canoes approaching from left and right.

The Aztec warriors who were rushing in the canoe were covered in blood from the gunfire and fell into the lake. When the Aztec warrior driving the canoe fell dead, more canoes began to lose their balance and capsize.

The tragedy of the Aztec warriors did not end there.

Shuuuung! bang! Quack!

The Aztec warriors who were swept away by the water column created when the thunderbolt fired by the imperial army waiting on the other side exploded and were torn to pieces along with their canoes or fell unconscious into the water and drowned began to appear one after another.

Amid the bloodshed, Lake Texcoco surrounding Tenochtitlan began to turn red.

* * *

Taaaang~. Ta-ta-tang~.

“It’s a gunshot!”

“It’s a gunshot!”

As gunshots began to be heard in the native city located in the center of the lake, the main body of the imperial army, which had formed a circle and was on guard in all directions, was also put on alert.

Slam! Slam!

As the soldiers of the main imperial army were urgently preparing for battle, the sounds of trumpets and drums were heard from the city centered on the lake.

As soon as the sound of trumpets and drums began to be heard, the mood of the Aztec warriors surrounding them changed immediately.

“Woooo~.”

As the surrounding Aztec warriors approached with warrior cries and weapons held high, Manho Park Soo-min, who was in command of the main unit, immediately gave an order.

“shooting!”

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!

As the wagons spewed fire in all directions on top of the carts wrapped in a circle, the line of Aztec warriors rushing in instantly began to collapse.

“Discharge the lightning thunderbolt!”

pop! Puff!

At Park Man-ho’s order, the toys that were being prepared fired big-shot thunderbolts all at once.

The lightning bolt, which was fired at a high angle to deal with the Aztec warriors nearby, soared high into the sky and fell into the middle of the Aztec warriors’ camp.

bang! Quack!

The Aztec warriors, caught in the explosion of the thunderbolt, could not even scream and fell to the ground.

* * *

The area around the Imperial Army’s main unit was cleared in an instant due to the explosion of the Bigyeokjincheonroe and the attack from Hwachang.

The Aztec warriors, frightened by the firepower of the imperial army they had never seen before, retreated without realizing it.

Park Man-ho, who secured space, gave orders to his soldiers.

“Change Wonjin to Hakikjin! The entrance to the camp faces the entrance to that causeway! Secure an escape route for the Admiral!”

“yes!”

According to Park Man-ho’s orders, the imperial army changed the original formation to the Hagikjin. After completing the frontier, the imperial army slowly approached the causeway.

Through this process, the main body of the imperial army took on the appearance of a lid covering a causeway.

The Aztec warriors, who saw the imperial army led by Man-ho Park moving to secure a causeway for the admiral and his party to escape, began to advance again.

Their goal was to surround the imperial army, which was encamped with the lake at its back, from three sides.

“If you do it wrong, you could be surrounded.”

Man-ho Park snorted at the concerns of his subordinate officers.

“What’s so scary about these guys who only have a stone knife? “As soon as the old admiral arrives, you can immediately switch to the younger group and break through!”

Park Man-ho answered confidently and gave orders to his subordinates.

“A sudden thunderbolt release! “Those naked bastards make me pee!”

“ancient!”

pop! Puff poop! pop! bang! Quack!

As Park Man-ho predicted, the big attack made the Aztec warriors terrified.

The huge lump that fell from high up with a loud noise created a huge explosion of flames and smoke and turned the surrounding warriors into corpses.

As the brave warriors who had terrified those around them died without even fighting properly, the Aztec warriors began to hesitate again.

“What kind of magic is this?”

“Priests! “Call the priests!”

The warriors, who believed that the explosion of the Bigyeokjincheonroe was the result of witchcraft, urgently sought out priests nearby.

“Stop that spell!”

At the command of the Eagle Warrior, the priests stepped forward holding their scepters. However, the priests who stepped forward became the targets of the riflemen.
