The battle between the two factions, which had been hostile to each other for decades, was not as intense as imagined. Even when they started the war, they were cautious.
Before the war, they had to be fully prepared and mobilized for battle. The Allied Forces placed their main force in City M, leaving two troops outside the city to coordinate with the city's defense, intending to fight a defensive counterattack.
When the Allied Forces saw this, they did not dare to approach rashly, considering their lack of engineering ability. They wanted to lure the enemy into battle, and then fight to the death in the wild. They wanted to maximize their advantage in numbers in order to win quickly.
Both sides were testing each other, and no one wanted to be the first to make a move. The hatred between the two sides was so deep that they calmed down instead of rushing to fight. Instead, they carefully observed each other, trying to find a way to kill each other in one blow.
Juan looked at the city under heavy protection, and the tribal elder also looked at the entire Allied Forces from the top of the city wall.
According to his experience, the Allied Forces's formation was very tight, and their numbers were more than the number of people in his hands. If the reinforcements arrived now, their numbers would be about the same, and he would have the confidence to fight outside the city.
Now that the enemy's numbers were significantly greater than his, he did not think that he could win in such a situation.
The more tense the situation was, the calmer the tribal elder became. He had waited for decades, and he did not care about this. If he could not seize the opportunity to kill them in one fell swoop, it would be a problem for him.
At this time, a confidant next to the old man pointed to a position in front of him on the left.
"Big Leader, look over there, those iron barrels, aren't they the cannons often used by the Spanish?"
"Cannons?"
The tribal elder was taken aback and quickly looked over. Although he was old, his eyesight had not deteriorated much. What he could see when he was young, he could still see now.
He had seen a lot of cannons. As early as the first battle, the big iron barrel that could roar and spit fire brought him painful memories. Countless comrades around him died in the hands of cannons, and his closest comrades were blown into several pieces by the cannons. He could not even bury them.
Once this thing roared, although it was useless against the city walls, it was still useful against people. More importantly, the sound was very loud and scary, which could deter the enemy and boost their morale. He had no firearms on his side, not even a single one, but Juan had firearms, and they were cannons.
This time, the situation was not good.
"They have cannons? Those damn traitors! "
One of the trusted aides cursed the traitors.
However, the tribal elder was very clear-headed and stopped his trusted follower from cursing.
"It's useless to scold them now. They have cannons, but it's hard to say if they don't have guns. Firearms are very powerful and loud. If you get hit, it's very lethal. The only thing that can stop them is rain, but the weather is very clear now. I don't think it will rain for a while. The situation is very bad for us."
The tribe elder's words caused the trusted followers around him to fall into deep thought. Everyone's faces were ugly.
It was rare for them to have the advantage of a city, but the other party had firearms. This was simply too disadvantageous.
"At present, we don't know how many firearms they have, but since they do, we have to guard against them. However, I don't think the Spanish will completely trust them. Even if they give them firearms, they won't give them a lot. I think as long as we find a way to destroy the batch of firearms we can see, they may not have more firearms!"
A tribe leader suddenly said.
Another tribe leader retorted, "That's true, but who's going to destroy them? And what method should we use to destroy them? We don't have weapons that have a longer range than bows and arrows, and bows can't destroy cannons. They're made of iron! "
Everyone's faces turned ugly again.
At this time, the tribal elder spoke.
"We don't have to destroy the firearms. Firearms need to be filled with gunpowder to exert their power. Gunpowder is most afraid of water. As long as we can make the gunpowder wet, the firearms naturally can't be used. Now that it's not raining, we can only rely on people. We need the most heroic warriors to undertake this task."
Everyone looked at each other. They were keenly aware of the difficulty of this task and the high probability of sacrifice. Some of them flinched.
The tribal elder was not surprised by everyone's actions. He was waiting for someone to take the initiative.
"Damn! I'll do it! I'll lead my people to destroy the gunpowder so that their firearms can't be used! Great leader! Please let me do it! I'm confident enough to destroy them! "
The tribal elder's eyes flashed with an almost imperceptible glint, then changed to a worried expression.
"Ah Nuo, you must know that firearms are very dangerous. They will definitely be under heavy protection. When the battle starts, we can only do our best to send you to them. After that, you will have to work hard to attack their firearms. Breaking through the protection and destroying the gunpowder will be very dangerous. Can you do it?"
Ah Nuo nodded very firmly.
"As long as you can send people to escort us to them, I will lead my people to attack! Even if I have to pay with my life, I will destroy the gunpowder and create the conditions for the army to attack! My only hope is that if we win and I am still alive, I hope that you can hand Juan over to me. Let me kill him with my own hands! "
The tribal elder nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Good! I promise you! Ah Nuo, you are a warrior! You are a true warrior! "
The tribal elder patted Ah Nuo's shoulder and began to formulate a strategy.
There were many dense forests outside of City M that had not yet been developed. Although both sides had chosen to deploy their troops in open areas, the open areas were surrounded by dense forests. To be precise, this was not a good terrain for a battle. But City M's location was very important, so both sides had no choice but to fight here.
The tribal elder's intention was to send people to find a small path for Ah Nuo's troops to directly attack Juan's army. They would attack from their flank and catch them off guard.
After that, it would depend on Ah Nuo's efforts to see if his impact was enough to break through the defenses and rush to the center of the firearms troops to destroy the gunpowder.
They would send a group of elite troops to hide Ah Nuo's elite troops. This group of elite troops would escort Ah Nuo's elite troops all the way to where Juan's firearms unit was located, giving Ah Nuo enough time to prepare.
