As we all know, in the era of cold weapons, the Chinese army has always stood at the top of the world. The mainland not only has a tiger and wolf division that is not afraid of death, but also has weapons of mass destruction such as strong bows and dark crossbows. In the use of martial arts, China's early military experts also preceded European and American countries by centuries. The Macedonian phalanx, which had frightened the Persians, could only come to China and have no return.
Even in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, China's use of firearms has been at the leading level in the world. But because of the Qing Dynasty's isolation, the equipment of the Chinese army began to lag behind that of the West. When the British and French invaders, driving warships armed with muskets, fought with the Qing army, the Qing army was momentarily confused. Everyone is carrying a knife in close combat, who let you open and hang? In order to teach these foreigners a lesson, the Qing army implemented the tactics of the sea of people. As a result, those one or two thousand people were stunned that tens of thousands of Qing troops were defeated. The bitter lessons of history are still remembered, but some people have also questioned: "Is it true that the army of thermal weapons must be able to win the ancient army?" If the 1,000 modern infantry of today were to fight against the 100,000 regular armies of ancient times, who would win?"
Of course, the benevolent see the wise. Some say that the ancient army crushed the modern infantry, and some said that the modern infantry crushed the ancient army. As long as it is a hypothesis, anything is possible. But in history, there have really been cases of hot and cold weapons clashing, with the enemy outnumbered. In 1522, the illiterate Spanish adventurer Francisco Pizarro learned of the Inca Empire from an explorer friend. In search of gold and more territory, he, with the support of the Panamanian overseer Pedelarias, together with the robber Almagro and the villainous priest Luke, led 112 Spaniards and a small number of Indian prisoners on an expedition to Peru.
Due to his lack of experience, Pizarro's first expedition ended in failure, with only a small amount of gold. In 1526, he organized an expedition with Almagro of 160 men. When they landed from Ecuador, countless Indians approached them, and Pizarro was blinded. In 1531, Pizarro made a comeback with the support of the King of Spain and set sail from Panama with 177 men in preparation for the conquest of the Inca Empire, with a population of 6 million.
When Pizarro set foot on Peruvian soil with 177 colonial soldiers armed with arquebusiers, the Inca king led 5,000 men into battle. As a result, the Inca army was crushed in less than half an hour, and Pizarro's side was the only one who suffered minor injuries in the pursuit of the Inca king. Later, Pizarro led more than 100 people to occupy the Inca Empire, and for the convenience of rule, he supported a puppet as king.
