After the rain, the sky is clear, and the bright sun shines, bringing the blessing of the sun god. The golden dome of the Palace of Winds is shining brightly, and the silverware in the main hall is shining. On the viewing platform, there are strings of pleasant copper bells hanging. A gust of breeze blew, and the golden bell swayed with the wind, playing a crisp bell.

The bell woke the pensive king. "Kasongqi" Suangua raised his head, revealing a young and determined face. He has just completed four years of succession to the throne, and he is only in his twenties this year. The young king looked behind him, and an elderly man in Chinese attire held a wooden board in his hand with a solemn expression.

"Zinzini, have you tested the power of this longbow?"

In the Prepecha language, Zinzini means "hummingbird", and the capital Qincongcan is "the land of hummingbirds". With such a noble inheritance name, the old man in Chinese clothing is obviously a noble noble with a high status. In fact, he has held the position of chief minister for over twenty years, and has been through three generations of kings.

Chief Minister Zinzini nodded solemnly and answered in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I have observed it myself. The Mexican's new longbow is extremely powerful, at least twice as powerful as the Tlaxcala bow! Within 150 paces, it shoots and kills light-armored militiamen, and within 90 paces, it shoots flat. Kill the leather knight!"

Hearing this result, Su Angua was shocked and stood up suddenly. He was a monarch who had gone to battle, but he just calculated in his head slightly, and he was immediately surprised.

"Most of the stone castles in the north and south are no more than three or four people tall. If you want to effectively kill the enemy's samurai, archers and slingers must shoot within 60 steps at least. According to the range and power of this longbow, in front of the Mexica longbow samurai, Aren't the fortresses on the ground helpless?!"

Zinzini looked at the young king and nodded solemnly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Under the raid of the Mexica longbow warriors, the wooden castles on the north bank of the Leman River only held on for six or seven days before they all fell. In the southern part of Sittacuaro, the outermost circle The stone castles have all been lost, and they are now fighting hard at the defense line of the second circle of mountain fortresses. Under the attack of the wicked big fish in the east, the lives of the warriors and militiamen are dying like newborn eggs."

King Suan melon noodles sink like water.

"What is the latest situation of the battle between the north and the south?"

The old man in Huafu thought for a moment, then handed out the wooden board in his hand, and then pointed to the terrain above and explained in detail.

"The Mexican Army on the South Road has nearly 30,000 warriors and is the main force of the enemy. If it can be dispatched at this time, it must be directly under the royal family of the Texcoco Lake District, the real core army of Mexica. Their commander is temporarily Mexico. Iskali, the 'Last Moon' of the Western Royal Family, is a veteran. However, with the increase in the size of the army, the supreme commander of the southern army must be the new king 'Water Spirit' Avit Soter, and also yours defeated."

Su Angua showed memories, and nodded slowly after a long while.

"Four years ago, shortly after I ascended the throne, Avit led an army to attack. I led an army to fight in person, and stayed in Sitacuaro for several months, and repeatedly harassed the food route with the navy and militia before repelling the Mexicans. Then took advantage of the situation to pursue, defeated several legions, and won a brilliant victory. This is actually a hard and tough battle, and the 'water monster' is not an easy one!"

Having said that, a bitter smile appeared on Su Angua's face.

"The year before last, Tisok came to the throne, and I was also delighted for a long time. Tisok's enthronement war chose the Otomi people, and the kingdom was ready to go, and stopped the crusade against the northern Tekes. I led the army again, and Avit fought once on the banks of the Leman River, and felt deeply about the difficulty of the opponent. Unexpectedly, within a few months, Avit killed his brother and became king in the capital city in the middle of the lake. After training for only half a year, he mobilized a large army to flood the country. Attack. The Mexicans are bloodthirsty and warlike people!"

Hearing this, Zinzini saluted solemnly and said solemnly.

"The Mexicans have disordered inheritance, respect power, and enjoy fighting all day long. This is a barbaric tribe hated by the sun god, and a demon in the western volcano! , the casualties were heavy, and in the end, only the city of Hilotepec was captured. According to common sense, the city-states of Mexica will not have too much enthusiasm for war this time. As long as we block this wave of sudden attacks during the busy agricultural season, When the samurai and militias are mobilized everywhere, victory will be ours!"

Su Angua thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and continued to wait for the analysis of the chief minister.

"The Mexica army on the northern route has only 10,000 warriors, among which there are many longbowmen. Their commander is 'Death' Shulot, who is said to be a teenager in his teens. He is a branch of the Mexica royal family. The grandson of the current High Priest Shuter, and the fiancé of the eldest daughter of Avet.

Hearing this, Su Angua spoke in surprise.

"There have been repeated defeats on the North Road. First, the wooden fort stronghold was lost, and then it was ambushed by the river. One or two thousand samurai and tens of thousands of militiamen were lost before and after... I thought the opponent was an experienced veteran, but I didn't expect it to be just one. child!"

Chief Minister Zinzini shook his head and explained cautiously.

"Your Majesty, this is not an ordinary boy. The lurking spies reported that shortly after the death of Montezuma I, the 'Death God' Shulot was born. There was a vision in the sky at birth, the morning star was bright, and he was born with a predestination. Hui. Later, he killed the old king Tisok with his own hands and was appointed as the heir to the royal family. There are even rumors that he is the reincarnation of the ancient Toltec craftsmen, who can create all kinds of extraordinary implements. The Mexica longbow is the His invention!"

Hearing the chief's words, King Suangua looked solemn and doubtful. He is still young, and although he is not very devout to his beliefs, it is difficult for him to fully see through the things of the gods.

"In this case, you still need to be careful. It seems that another batch of reinforcements should be sent to the north road."

Zinzini hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, there are not too many enemies on the northern road. The land on both sides of the Leman River has been temporarily abandoned, and the kingdom has retreated to the estuary fortress and the fortresses along the line. Six thousand warriors and 20,000 militia have been stationed in the strong defense line of Akambaro. , as long as they don't fight rashly, it is enough to resist 20,000 to 30,000 Mexican warriors... After half a month, the kingdom can send another 10,000 militiamen to the north, but the warriors can only wait for the support of the Chapala Lake District.”

Suangua paced back and forth, recalling the military deployment of the kingdom. He has been in the hands of the most important military mobilizations.

"With the Patzcuaro Lake District as the core, there are 25,000 warriors in the hands of the royal family. There are 5,000 other well-trained pike militias and 5,000 rebuilt barbarian mercenaries. Now, the number of warriors in the north and south is amazing. After losing more than 3,000, at least 2,000 warriors should be left in the capital, only 20,000 reliable warriors and 10,000 elite militiamen can be mobilized.

Under the raids of the Mexicas, the militia lost more than 20,000, and about 50,000 had been put into battle. Militia from all over the country are urgently mobilizing, recruiting village strong men, and temporarily shelving the autumn harvest. "

Su Angua had a bitter smile on his face. He worked hard for a long time and was invincible in the conquests in the west and the north, but he was still unable to resist the giant power in the east. Lack of sufficient manpower to farm, this year's autumn harvest is bound to drop significantly.

"Now, the northern state of Akambaro has 6,000 warriors and 20,000 militiamen stationed. The southern state of Sitaquaro has invested more than 10,000 warriors and 30,000 militiamen. The remaining 3,000 warriors..."

The king pondered for a long time, recalling the topography of the north and south of the kingdom, before asking.

"What do the two marshals from the north and south say?"

Chief Minister Zinzini thought for a while, then replied seriously.

"The most recent letter was a report from a week ago. Commander of the South, Cueus, said that the battle was extremely fierce, and the stone fortresses in the mountains were fighting all day long. Thousands of longbow warriors from the Mexican army besieged several key fortresses and attacked for days without a fight. The enemy's longbowmen even approached within sixty paces, and under the cover of shields, they shot at the bows and arrows at the head of the city. They also built a roaring wooden beast and smashed huge stones into the stone fort. Immediately die."

"Quius" means eagle, a sacred heritage title. Commander of the South, Cuyus, is the bloodline of the first King Tariguri of Kasunchi, and is also the uncle of King Suangua, a trusted royal relative.

Confusion and shock appeared on King Suangua's face again.

"What is the roaring wooden beast?"

Zinzini thought for a while and replied.

"It should be some kind of siege weapon, and it is said to be the invention of the 'Death God' Shulot. Cueus has sent a large number of warriors and militia to harass the Mexican people's back road. But the other party's food supply is not long, and he As a precaution, several camps were built in the middle. The samurai of both sides killed hundreds of people every day, and the militia was twice as many."

Su Angua's expression was extremely heavy. Since the war began, he has not heard much good news.

"Where's the Northern Commander, Ospie? What did he say?"

Zinzini shook his head.

"The commander of the navy regiment, the Russian Marshal, reported that the situation is optimistic and the pressure is not high. He has not many enemies to face, and the Mexica navy has returned to the east again. Now the navy has been dispatched to suppress the partial division of the northern enemy in the woods. In the fort. He applied to you to mobilize the garrison of the southern defense line to besiege one or two wooden forts. He also invited your army to send out to completely destroy the Mexican division in the north!"

Hearing that the north is dominant, Su Angua's expression relaxed a little. He shook his head and laughed softly.

"This belligerent crocodile! Tell him that it is not allowed to mobilize the garrison on the defense line. The policy of the North Road is to wait for work, and stick to it. There will be more and more enemies in the follow-up. He must defend the river mouth fortress and the southern line fortress. In addition, I don't have a large army for him, so it's okay to temporarily abandon both sides of the Leman River. Let him give full play to the strength of the navy and harass the enemy's food supply!"

The chief minister bowed his head and took orders, which is a safe policy. He made a mark on the board and continued to look at the king.

Su Angua pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision and gave the order loudly.

"The focus of this battle is in the south! I will recklessly take 2,000 bronze axe guards, 5,000 spear militiamen, and 5,000 barbarian mercenaries to support the southern front! Leave 3,000 directly under the samurai in the capital, and you can make arrangements based on the situation. Similarly, Most of the mobilized militia will support the south, and the north will choose to supplement it!"

The king paused for a moment, with a majestic look on his face.

"Zinzini, outside the Lake District, when will the reinforcements from the various states arrive?!"

The chief minister bowed his head slightly.

"The Chapala Lake area in the west has been mobilized, and the great nobles from all over the country have proclaimed King Qin. However, due to the busy farming season, they temporarily promised to dispatch 10,000 warriors and 20,000 militiamen. The plan is to divide them into two batches and transport them to the north by water. The 15,000 reinforcements will arrive within a month, and the second in two months."

Anger flashed on Su Angua's face.

"There are at least 600,000 people in the Lake Chapala area. There are 20,000 warriors in nobles from all over the world. Ding Zhuang has recruited all of them and can mobilize 80,000 militiamen! Send messengers to scold them and ask for double the reinforcements!"

Zinzini looked helpless. He was silent for a moment and whispered exhortation.

"Your Majesty, the Lake Chapala region has a long history of autonomy. They have to guard against the Turks rebels in the mountains and forests, and also guard against the Guamar breed in the north. This time, they can deploy 10,000 warriors and 20,000 militiamen to support them. It is already a respect for the prestige of His Majesty's expedition, and it is very respectful."

The chief minister looked at the young king's face and continued to explain respectfully.

"I will negotiate with them. After the autumn harvest is completed, if there are no accidents, they should still be able to support 20,000 militiamen. The northern front is as stable as the towering western mountains, and there is no need for Your Majesty to worry."

Hearing this, Su Angua thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Maintain communication with the Chapala Lake District, dispatch the old man of the kingdom, and persuade the local nobles. How to reply to Wetamobang in the mountainous area south of the Tulsa River? They are very close to the southern front, and five thousand warriors can quickly join the battlefield. "

Zinzini hesitated for a moment, but told him honestly.

"Your Majesty, Waitamoban has rejected your call. They replied that the spring ploughing was busy, and the Mexicans were harassing the border, and they could not send troops north."

Hearing this, Su Angua angrily tore off the wind chimes in front of him and threw them on the silver sacrificial vessel. The crisp copper bell was accompanied by a deep thump, like the disturbed mood of a king.

"Damn southern city-states. When this war is over, I will reunite these tribes!"

The king made a low oath. Immediately, he looked serious and looked at the Chief Minister.

"Zinzini, did the Turks ministries in the west respond to the call?"

Zinzini nodded and smiled.

"Your Majesty, the subordinate Turks tribes responded to the covenant and promised to send 10,000 elite tribal warriors. The condition is that the kingdom will provide food and grass, and give them high-quality equipment. They have just finished spring plowing, the journey is long, and it is expected to arrive in two months. ."

Su Angua calmed down and sighed softly.

"The city-state of the kingdom has no vassal loyalties!"

Then, the king gave an order in a deep voice.

"Promise all their conditions. We don't need them to come to the rescue on foot, send the navy in the south to respond, and go directly to the Sitacuaro line of defense. In addition, after negotiating with the local chiefs, the kingdom is willing to provide exquisite feather clothing, expensive gold and silver jewelry, In exchange for them to mobilize another 20,000 militiamen, wait until the autumn harvest to help!"

Zinzini lowered his head again and wrote down his will on the west side of the plank map.

Su Angua paced back and forth, pondering for a long time.

"Zinzini, how about the negotiation with the messengers sent to the major countries? Are the surrounding ministries willing to send troops to help, or crusade against the Mexicans?"

Zinzini shook his head slightly.

"Your Majesty, we have always been estranged from all the tribes. All the tribes believe in false gods and do not know the value of the true gods. The Mistecs and Zapotecs of the South are watching. The Mexicans have relaxed their tribute to them. The two have no intention to resist for the time being. The Otomi people in the north have contacted several times, and although they have maintained a tacit understanding of not disturbing each other, they are unwilling to send troops at this time. The Vastec people seem to be severely exploited and have quite a lot of complaints. But They were suppressed by the northern commander of the Mexicans and did not dare to resist for the time being."

Having said this, the Chief Minister saluted solemnly.

"The only hope now ~www.mtlnovel.com~ can only be the Tlaxcalans in the East. They and the Mexicans have deep grievances and have been fighting each other for decades. At this time, there is a lot of talk about sending troops. Just The priests of the false holy city of Cholula spoke out to stop it, threatening to fight the gods against the pagans. Unless we convert to false gods..."

Su Angua frowned. The sun god, the earth goddess, the moon goddess, and the three gods have long been rooted in the land of Mikancho. Although the priests were suppressed by the royal family and accepted orders, it was absolutely impossible for them to agree to convert.

"The matter of conversion is not to be mentioned. The Mexicas are jaguars that devour the mountains and forests, and their ambition is the whole world. The Tlaxcala people should understand this. Only the union of the two countries can resist the dominance of Mexica. The rival alliance of the valley.

Selected from the royal family, and dispatched the noble Ajinborn messengers. Just say that I am willing to make brotherhood with the leaders of the four states of Tlaxcala, take them as the eldest brother and I as the younger brother, and sign a covenant of a hundred generations witnessed by the gods! At the same time, I am willing to marry them, take the princess of the Tlaxcalans as my wife, and give them the princess of the previous king! "

Hearing this, the chief minister's expression changed drastically.

"Your Majesty, your current wife is the daughter of a great noble of the kingdom. How can you easily give up? As for the late king's princess..."

Su Angua shook his head, his tone was tough and decisive.

"This time, the Mexicans are aggressive, all over the country, and there are many new weapons. The kingdom may be in danger of perishing! At this time, what are the grievances of the princesses? As for the current wife, I will naturally agree with you. She explained it very well. Besides, the marriage will really take place, and we will have to wait for this war to pass. The first task now is to find a way to get the Tlaxcalans to send troops and reduce the pressure on the front line!"

Chief Minister Zinzini was speechless. After being silent for a long time, he finally bowed to the ground and received the order.
