Remember [New] in a second! "Wow! Wow! Wow!..."

The dark young man came to the burning south city wall like a moth to a flame with a bamboo basket on his back. Soon, the large canopy of mud and sand rushed over, the hot flames were extinguished, but the pungent poisonous smoke was still spreading. From time to time, "moths" fell to the ground, unable to die for a while, but fluttered on the ground in vain.

The Tlaxcala warriors who oversaw the battle paid no heed to the death of the Mothmen. They just drove the moth people from a distance, while looking nervously at the top of the city. Hundreds of corpses lay down the entire city wall, and the blood flowed and solidified like a dark red swamp.

"Boom! Boom!"

The golden monster spit out thunder again, blasting at the head of the city where people were shaken, and hitting a row of wooden shields. The solid wooden shield was like thin pottery, and it shattered in an instant! Countless sharp wood chips splashed and shot at the warriors behind, causing screams.

"Ah! It's the evil beast of the Mexica, it's the evil thunder!..."

"Quick! Quick! Let the priests and elders of the holy city of Cholula come over! Hold a sacrificial ceremony, request the divine power of the hunting god, and suppress the enemy's evil beasts!"

The Lord of Water Valley, the honorable nobleman of Tlaxcala, and "Black Snake" Telcott roared angrily. Wearing gorgeous leather armor and a long crown of feathers, he is standing on a high platform behind the city wall with hundreds of guards. From this position, he could clearly see the situation outside the south city, and was outside the enemy's shooting range. Of course, you still have to be careful of that terrifying Thunder Bronze Beast.

"Hurry up! The samurai fill in the vacancy! The militiamen bring in shields and arrows! Get the clay pots of lime!... The Mexica are forming a team, and they will attack soon!"

"Black Snake" Telcott quickly ordered. He looked at the surrounding fields, estimated that there were tens of thousands of Mexica legions, and his heart was full of remorse. He pursed his lips tightly, suppressing the strong uneasiness, always paying attention to the enemies outside the city, and thinking about the current situation.

"Too many! Too fast! Mexica, how come so many, so fast!  …"

The official eastern expedition of the Mexica began in December last year. In fact, as early as July and August, the four states of Tlaxcala received information from the priests of the holy city of Cholula that the old enemy was mobilizing.

In order to prepare for the war, the states had finished harvesting food in early October, and then carried out thorough mobilization. All tribal warriors were conscripted, and the border forts everywhere were filled with warriors and militiamen. And the noble descendants of the "Cloud Snake" in Tlaxcala sent four envoys to ask for help, going to the northern Huastec tribes, the eastern Totonac tribes, the southern Mixtec Alliance and the southeastern Sapo. Turk League.

By the end of October, Mexica scout teams had been operating across the border. And at the beginning of December, in Tlatoani, Mexico, King Avit held a grand sacrificial ceremony in the royal capital, announcing that 100,000 warriors would go out to launch a war against the Tlaxcalans!

Regarding the "one hundred thousand warriors" and the "war of gods" claimed by the King of Mexica, "Black Snake" Telcott didn't take it seriously before, and only regarded it as false threats.

The "War of Flowers" between the two sides is going on every year and has been fighting for half a century. The Mexica fought eastward several times, but none of them broke the alliance of four states. And the Water Valley City he guarded is an important town in the south, located deep in the narrow and long valley of Tepeyakak State, it is a fortified city built of stones!

Water Valley City is more than a hundred miles away from the border fortress group, with towering walls and dangerous terrain. It is surrounded by mountains from east to west, and the Tales River flows through the north and south. It is not afraid of long-term siege, and it is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the past half a century, the Mexica invaded Tepeyacac ​​several times, and all of them were under the city of Shuigu, and they had nothing to do with the strong city.

At that time, when he heard the news of the massive invasion of the Mexica for the first time, Hilo, the priest and elder in the city, laughed loudly and left a bold statement that "the Mexica would sacrifice 10,000 warriors to the **** of hunting under the city of Water Valley." heart!"

"Hey! Hilo Priest Elder!..."

Thinking of this, "Black Snake" Telcott sighed. He looked towards the enemy camp in the south, and on the spear erected a few meters away, there was just a white-haired crowned head. Elder Hilo's body fell outside the city. As the high priest who was shot, he would naturally receive the "honor" of hanging his head.

"God of hunting! How can you bear to watch the people of Cloud Snake fall into desperation!..."

Telcott was in despair. He looked outside the city and saw the mysterious Black Wolf King flag flying high above the distant mountains. The unfamiliar hound flag was erected in the besieged camp outside the southern city. As for the east and west sides of Water Valley City, different flags of the Mexica city-states were erected, symbolizing the familiar old rivals of each state. Only the north side leading to the hinterland has not yet been surrounded.

At the beginning of December, the Mexica divided the north and south armies to attack the four-state alliance. The Northern Army was personally led by King Avet, while the Marshal of the Southern Army was His Royal Highness the "Grim Reaper" of the Mexica, Shulot.

"...He is the most honorable descendant of the gods. He can listen to the enlightenment of the gods and use the divine power of the **** of war! He summoned the divine power of thunder and flames, and personally destroyed the mighty Kingdom of Tarasco..."

"Black Snake" Telcott recited in a low voice, the Western Expedition poem from the Mexica Alliance. Soon, a new round of fireballs rose from the enemy's position again, and fell towards the city with burning smoke!

"Boom!...Boom!..."

Telcott lowered his eyes, unmoved. He firmly believed that with the blessing of "Cloud Snake", this kind of fireball would definitely not be able to hit him. Sure enough, the fireball roared and flew past him, smashing into the hut tens of meters away, igniting a large cloud of poisonous smoke. The moth people in the city were once again driven by the warriors to extinguish the burning poisonous fire.

"Ahem! The breath of the volcanic monster...the priest of the holy city of Cholula is right...what a pity!..."

Turcotte continued to recall while coughing.

From December last year to March this year, the enemy's situation was almost clear. The southern army of the Mexica is estimated to number 50,000, including four official legions, all composed of skilled warriors. Among these legions, there are the most elite royal warriors of Mexica, city-state warriors recruited from the south, conquered Prepecha warriors, Chichimek dogs from the north, and even the far west Terkos fighters!

Thousands of fighters from different origins gathered together to serve loyally under the king's banner of Hei Lang, and they rushed to the east like a tide!

At the end of December, the dog-descendant team of the enemy on the south road was the first to cross the mountains in the west and break into the valley where the city of Shuigu was located.

However, the Tlaxcala Four-State Alliance is a real city-state alliance, and the city lords of each city-state hold the real power of the army in their own state. "Black Snake" Telcott, as the lord of Water Valley, is the most powerful tribal leader in the southern state of Tepeyakak. Together with "Water Snake" Glorious Noble Akotel and Priest Elder Hilo, he controls 70% of the military and manpower of Tepeyakak State, and rules nearly 300,000 moth people!

In order to resist the invasion of the Mexica, the entire state of Tepeyacac ​​was mobilized. At the end of December, there were 12,000 Tlaxcala warriors, 3,000 Cholula warriors, and 30,000 tribal militiamen gathered around Water Valley City!

Yes, the holy city of Cholula made a formal decision to join the Tlaxcalans after the Mexica Alliance announced the eastward conquest of the Four-State Alliance of Tlaxcala.

At the end of December, the envoys of the Holy City sent a message to all directions, requesting the support of reinforcements from various ministries of the Nava religion. At the same time, the priests of the holy city also started to act, preparing to join the army of Tlaxcala, boosting the morale of the soldiers.

In the face of the brutal battle of the old enemy, the Mexica Alliance, the Tlaxcala nobles everywhere have no possibility of surrendering. There is a **** feud between the nobles on both sides, and the loser can only be sacrificed...Their only choice is to gather all the warriors and militiamen and fight to the end with the deadly enemy who has been fighting for decades!

The entire Tlaxcalan family mobilized and resisted tenaciously. The dog-born team that broke into the area of ​​Water Valley City first did not achieve any results worth mentioning. Afterwards, thousands of dog-born warriors appeared in the mountains in the west and fought fiercely with the tribes guarding the mountains, staining the mountains with blood. And the main force of the enemy on the south road, carrying the black wolf king's flag, appeared in front of the mountain pass fortress group more than a hundred miles away to the south.

In early January, tens of thousands of Mexica legions built large camps and gathered outside the mountain pass fortresses on the border.

After "Black Snake" Telcott, "Water Snake" Akotel, and the elder priests of Hilo discussed together, they let "Water Snake" personally lead the team and added a large number of reinforcements to the mountain pass fortress group. Throughout the southern border area, relying on the mountains and camps, a total of 7,000 Tlaxcala warriors and 15,000 tribal militia were deployed.

From "Black Snake"'s point of view, the southern line of defense occupies a favorable location and has the support of Shuigu City. The warriors are full of fighting spirit, have enough food, and are equipped with many latest longbows... Not to mention indestructible, they are as stable as a rock, and they can last for at least half a year!

The initial situation was indeed similar to what "Black Snake" estimated. The Mexica sent out thousands of city-state warriors and tried to attack some mountain pass camps, but left hundreds of corpses in vain. By mid-January, however, many of the lower camps could no longer be held, as the Mexica built fireball-throwing wooden beasts. And towards the end of January, when the heavy beasts of bronze, brought from Lake Texcoco, roared with thunder, and broke the wooden camps...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The deafening thunder sounded from the south again, bringing an irresistible bombardment!

"Black Snake" Telcott closed his eyes in pain, and prayed devoutly to the God of Hunting.

"The supreme **** of hunting! Please lower your boundless divine power to make the opponent's copper beast shut up and lose the power to roar! Your pious descendants will offer you a blood sacrifice..."

The first appearance of the Thunder Bronze Beast was shocking, and it even spread fear. The most critical mountain pass fortresses, even if they were built on high mountains with solid stones, fell within a day!

Terrified by the roar of the thunder, the Tlaxcala warrior knelt down to the might of the **** of war, losing all will to resist. Thousands of warriors laid down their weapons and led a larger number of militiamen from the mountain fortress to surrender to their old enemies, the Mexica.

By mid-February, most of the mountain pass fortresses that had been built by the Tlaxcalans for 30 to 40 years and stretching for tens of miles had fallen, leaving only the last few stone fortresses guarded by nobles. As for the 7,000 city-state warriors and 15,000 tribal militia guarding the line of defense, at least 3,000 to 4,000 died in battle, and more than 10,000 surrendered.

In just one month, the strong defense line of the mountain pass was breached, and tens of thousands of Mexica legions poured in. "Water Snake" Acotel had to take seven or eight thousand remnants, and stubbornly retreated along the Tarsas River.

The Tlaxcalans take the "God of Hunting" as their main god, and take the incarnation of "Cloud Serpent" of the "God of Hunting" as the noble blood of the descendants of the gods. All honored nobles are related to "snake".

"Water Snake" Acotel never thought of surrendering. With his blood status as a descendant of God, if he surrendered to the Mexica, he would definitely die. Along the way, he gathered the young and strong tribes along the way, and as a noble descendant of the gods, he called on the mountain tribes to resist guerrilla warfare and delay the Mexica's advance.

At the end of February, the high priests of the holy city of Cholula rushed to appease the turbulent warriors in time.

"...the **** of war of the Mexica has fallen, and has united with the darkness of the earth! Those fire-breathing beasts of wood and beasts of thunder, are not the power of a **** of war, but the demonic power of a volcanic demon! Behold, Warriors of the God of the Hunt, those evil beasts still exude the breath of the crater! They will spread disease and darkness, and make the people of the God of the Hunt never recover!...Fight, warriors! You must fight for the cloud snake! Fight, and fight for the ground beneath your feet!"

The words of the priests finally appeased the morale of the warriors, but they could not change the balance of power between the two sides.

"Black Snake" dispatched the main force of warriors in the city to meet the retreating "Water Snake". The 8,000 Tlaxcala warriors fought head-on with the 7,000 dog-descended legion pursued by the enemy. In the end, the hidden 1,000 bronze-armored guards defeated the central army and lost more than half of it. Even the "water snake" almost died in battle. ..

At the beginning of March, the "Water Snake" was forced to retreat to Shuigu City, where he reunited with the "Black Snake" who was in charge. Together, including Cholula's remaining reinforcements, there were only six or seven thousand warriors left in their hands, completely losing their ability to fight in the field. However, the militia guarding the city is still very sufficient, there are still 15,000 people.

The south of Shuigu City has fallen since then. Large areas of towns and villages, numerous tribes and warriors were wiped out by the Mexica army. Billowing black smoke rises from the south~lightnovelpub.net~Countless moth people are strung together by hemp ropes and escorted to the southern sky, to an unknown distant place.

"...Where are you going to take the cruel Mexica people? Are the humble moth people worth offering sacrifices to the gods?"

The roar of cannons drowned out the desperate cries, and the warriors lined up, ready to charge to the city. While trapped in the city of sorrow, a strange question suddenly flashed in "Black Snake" Telcott's mind. After counting breaths, he shook his head, not caring about the fate of the moth people. Because, now even the noble descendants of the gods are hard to protect themselves!

"Supreme God of Hunting! Your descendant begs you again, shut up the opponent's copper beast and lose the power to roar!..."

As if they heard Hei Lang's prayer, the gunners outside the southern city wall finally stopped moving. They carefully touched the hot copper cannon, pushed **** the hardwood gun mount, and pulled the copper cannon to the rear of the army formation. And a moment later, the fierce battle drums sounded outside Nancheng, mixed with faintly audible pious shouts!

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!..."

"Praise the Lord God!..."

"Dedicated to God! . . . "

"Roar! Roar!"
