Aztec Eternals Chapter 488

Remember [] for a second,!

"Boom boom boom!..."

Intense drums of war sounded outside the water valley city, accompanied by the cry of the Mexica legion, announcing a more brutal siege!

Soon, thousands of Turks tribe warriors, hunched over their waists, pushing 200 heavy wooden shield carts, and slowly approached outside the southern city wall. These Turks warriors were all descendants of the kingdom's southern expedition. They wore rattan hats on their heads, short spears on their backs, loincloths tied around their waists, and the most valuable equipment on their bodies was their cheap paper armor. Their set-up costs are surprisingly low.

"Squeak... squeak..."

The heavy wooden shield car drove through the trampled solid soil, gradually approaching the south wall of Shuidu City, approaching within 80 steps. At this point, the elite longbowmen defending the city have been able to accurately hit the shield chariot.

"God of hunting bless! Shoot the enemy to death!..."

On the southern city wall, the vacancies in battle were quickly filled, and the leading hereditary nobles clenched their long bows and shouted fiercely.

"...buzz!..."

Hearing the order, the densely packed Tlaxcala warriors and militiamen held long bows, short bows, hunting bows, copper arrows, bone arrows and even stone arrows with reed rods, and shot down the city one after another!

"Whoosh whoosh! ... whoosh whoosh!"

A large piece of feather arrows, like a rush of wind and sand, shot in a mess. Dozens of Turks warriors screamed in an instant, arrows in their heads and faces, and fell to the ground obliquely, leaving only fresh bloodstains.

The Tlaxcala people worship the **** of hunting, Miscuatel, and they call themselves the descendants of the "cloud snake". The weapon of the **** of hunting in mythology is the "disgraceful" bow and arrow. Therefore, they are different from the Mexicans who respect close combat and capture prisoners. They especially like to use bows and arrows.

A few years ago, when the news of the Mexicans' invention of the new longbow came, the nobles of Tlaxcala were amazed and disbelieved. The imitation of the longbow was also implemented in various places in the Four-State Alliance for the first time, and it soon became effective, creating the first batch of new large bows.

Of course, the people of Tlaxcala soon discovered that if they wanted to use a longbow to increase the power of the bow and arrow, it meant a substantial increase in the cost of making the bow. They will use stronger bronze tools, spend more labor, use better wood, make larger bows, and make stronger shafts. And behind all this, there is a need for abundant and sufficient food, and Ding Zhuang who needs long-term labor!

To this day, the proportion of longbowmen in the legions of the Mexicans and Tlaxcalans is still very limited. The difference is that the Mexicans are limited by the number of elite archers, while the Tlaxcalans are limited by the lack of human and material resources.

"Whoosh whoosh!..."

Arrows rained, and death roared. The Tesco warriors bowed more and more, lowered their bodies, and continued to push the shield car forward. In just a moment, the shield car was already full of bent feather arrows. There were constant groans or screams of tribal warriors, who were shot in the bare vitals and fell to the ground to death.

Fortunately, the front parts of these shield cars are erected with simple large shields, which can form a space for cover. It didn't take long for a large number of shield vehicles to be pushed to within 60 paces outside the city, and gradually stopped, forming a cover shooting position. The hundreds of surviving Tesco fighters all held their heads, curled up as much as possible, and crouched on the ground to allow more space.

"it is good!"

The black wolf Toltek looked at the situation on the battlefield and nodded with satisfaction. The casualties of hundreds of Turks descended were not worth mentioning. Instead, they succeeded in consuming the Tlaxcalans' arrows and pushing the shield car to the designated position.

"Order, the Guard Corps, the Longbow Warrior Battalion, come in and shoot!"

"Dong Dong Dong! ... Longbow Warrior Camp, attack!"

"The Lord God bless!"

The drums were beating faster and faster. The Longbow Warrior Battalion shouted in unison, lowered their heads, and trotted towards the position of the shield chariot.

Compared with the descendants of Tesco, the equipment of the Guards Longbow Warriors is much more luxurious. They all wore bronze middle armor, bronze helmets, bronze hatchets slung around their waists, sturdy long bows in their hands, and two bags of bronze arrows behind their backs. These thousand elite guard warriors were handed over to the Black Wolf by His Highness as the key force to suppress the city head. And the Tecos, who were pushing the shield car to pave the way, descended to reduce their casualties to the greatest extent possible.

"Whoosh! ... whoosh! ... whoosh!"

Braving the rain of arrows, the longbow warriors kept running. But after dozens of breaths, they came to the shield car, and entered the firing position sixty steps away from the city wall. Afterwards, they raised their big bows in unison and aimed at the Tlaxcala warriors who were screaming and shooting arrows at the top of the city, which was a wave of precise counterattacks.

Gu Yan"Whoosh whoosh!..."

"what!..."

A large number of screams suddenly sounded at the top of the city. Hundreds of Tlaxcala warriors were injured by arrows. Many people fell directly from the city head, and their heads were bleeding. The defenders at the head of the city were immediately suppressed, and they dared not show their bodies recklessly. The rain of arrows shot by the city head was slightly sparse, and the archers on both sides began to shoot at each other.

Under the shield car, the huddled Turks soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief. The most dangerous moment has passed, and one should be able to survive today.

"Damn it! It's these bronze-armored warriors who shoot arrows again! The next step is to take the wooden ladder and send lowly brute soldiers to the city to fight!"

"Black Snake" Telcott waved his battle stick angrily and smashed it **** the wooden shield in front of him. He was so powerful that he smashed the obsidian sharp pieces on the battle stick to pieces!

The Tlaxcala Four-State Alliance lacked the source of copper mines, and the bronze weapons were extremely in short supply. However, they also have large obsidian mines and mature obsidian craftsmanship, so they have always used obsidian weapons.

At the beginning of March, the Army of the South Mexican Road arrived at the water valley city, and immediately began to siege the city. They set up a large camp outside the southern city, demolished the camps in the east and west mountains in turn, and established two small camps. After only a few days, Shuigu City was surrounded on three sides, and there was only one "way of life" left in the north.

When he was just surrounded, "Black Snake" Telcott maintained sufficient confidence.

The city walls of Water Valley City are six or seven meters high. They are built with stones mixed with corn mortar. The city had already driven out the old and weak moth people, leaving only 15,000 defenders and enough food to last for two years. Another 5,000 militiamen guarded the mountain camps on both sides, which could contain the attack of the Mexicas. For decades, Water Valley City has been besieged by the Mexicans several times, but it has never fallen!

"Black Snake" also sent messengers for help to the northern states. The Tulsatian River flows through the east city, and the upper reaches of the north are still in the hands of the Tlaxcala Navy, which can be continuously transported for support.

"Blessed by the hunting god! We can guard this city wall until we die of old age!"

In the face of the messenger who persuaded His Highness "Death" to surrender, "Black Snake" replied like this. He even gave orders to cut off the messenger's ears and stab the other party's eyes as a response to the Mexicans!

For the next ten days, the Mexicans did not make any major moves, and seemed to have no choice but to take Water Valley City.

The Mexica Legion outside the southern city was quiet, but continued to build equipment in the camp outside the city. The east and west of the city are old rivals who have been at war for many years, the city-state legions of the Mexicans. Carrying wooden ladders, they tried to launch two sieges, only to be attacked by arrows, slings, and lime jars, leaving hundreds of samurai corpses in vain.

"Black Snake" Telcott became more and more confident, and even organized thousands of samurai, taking advantage of the night to fight back outside the city.

It is a pity that the enemy camp outside Nancheng is very stable, and the construction of the camp is meticulous. The warriors stood still, but were shot with arrows, leaving hundreds of corpses behind. And the east city and outside the west city won a small victory again, defeated the four militia battalions outside the city-state army, and killed more than 2,000 people!

A large number of militias were killed and scattered, and the city-state legions of Mexica were used to it, and their morale remained stable. It took them a day to send out samurai to regroup the broken militia. It is customary for these city-state legions to fight, that is, to spread out a large number of militia battalions, stationed on the periphery of the samurai camp, without even setting up fences. In the center, the samurai camp has a wooden fence, lit a fire, and is heavily guarded.

In the event of a night attack, the militiamen were killed and scattered by the enemy, and the samurai would not support them at all. They just guarded the camp and waited for the dawn. If there were any militiamen who dared to rush into the camp, they would be killed directly as enemies. And the militiamen did not dare to flee to the center, they would just be scattered everywhere. At dawn, the attacking enemy killed all night, and if they did not retreat in time, they would be severely attacked by the samurai!

"Black Snake" Telcott attacked twice out of the city, but was unable to shake the main force of the Mexicans, and also damaged some elites. He had to go back to the city ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and hold on patiently, waiting for reinforcements from the north.

However, in mid-March, the situation changed! Outside the southern city, the Mexicans built more than a dozen stone-throwing wooden beasts, and they kept throwing flaming fireballs into the city at a distance of one or two hundred paces! These fireballs burn when touched, and can even burn on rocks and emit billowing poisonous smoke. They can't be put out with water at all, only with sand, and they emit the evil smell of the crater.

The priests of the holy city of Cholula saw this scene and quickly made a judgment.

"This is indeed the power of the demon, the evidence of the fall of the Mexica!"

However, in the face of the powerful power of the volcano demon, the priests were helpless. The **** of the hunt seemed to have abandoned his gods, and the boundless darkness poured in from the south, gradually engulfing the city of Waterdale.

In the days that followed, the blockade on three sides of Mizutani City became more and more strict. The power of the demons continued to appear, and rounds of flames shot into the city, and the pungent smoke spread everywhere. In Central America, where there are many volcanoes, sulfur is far more accessible than saltpeter, and the cost of sulfur paper fireballs is far lower than that of refined gunpowder.

The poisonous smoke disperses, the fire burns, and the Water Valley City is like an absolute territory, like a battlefield of a god's war. The morale of the defenders continued to decline, and the priests racked their brains to appease the hearts of the city. And "Black Snake" Telcott even dreamed of black and red evil volcanic lava when he slept!
