Aztec Eternals

June is coming to an end, and the rainy season is entering its best season. The raindrops fell from the low dark clouds, soaking the fields of the mountains and the east. On the west side of the mountains, in the Texcoco Lake District, there are lush farmland everywhere, and the four fields are full of luxuriant vitality.

Spring ploughing in May, corn planting has been in early January. At this time, the rainfall is sufficient and the heat is abundant, which is a good time for jointing growth. The corn stalks in the field are growing vigorously at a speed visible to the naked eye. Beans climbed the stalks and stretched to the sky together. And the pumpkins spread out under the poles, clingingly covering the ground. From time to time, weeds can be seen in the fields, and then they are uprooted by the big hands full of calluses!

Farmers at this time are also busy. They have to run around the fields day after day, weeding the fields in early summer, to avoid the nutrients in the fields being thinned. The nobles and warriors who master the manure and lake mud will also strictly urge the subordinate serfs to carefully fertilize the Qinampa floating fields at this time.

"When corn is jointed, injecting vitality into the farmland can effectively increase the yield of a season. Because corn is the people of the earth, it will be hungry and have the best appetite when it is jointed..."

The chief priest of the village taught the crowd in this way. Some of these farming claims come from the experience passed down by old people, and the other part comes from the summary of Western kingdoms, which together improve the yield of farmland and consolidate the foundation of the alliance.

The messenger of the capital city in the lake ran to the north, with the cry of death in his arms, and walked through the vigorous field. He walked through Teotihuacan, the holy city in the northeast, and came to the Avenue of Death and the Pyramid of the Sun and Moon, bringing the news that the morning star and the sun fell together.

The high priest family has ruled the Holy City for decades, and it has deep roots here. The elderly are the spiritual sustenance of four generations in the hearts of the Mexicans. Teotihuacan was shaken by the news of their deaths. The priests and nobles in the city mourned and grieved, and immediately called all the people to **** the sacrifices returned from the Eastern Expedition, held a grand sacrifice ceremony, and respectfully sent the great souls to the kingdom of God!

The messenger stayed overnight and continued to run northeast. He crossed the mountain pass in the northeast and came to Atotonik State. Continuing east from here, it is the land of the Tlaxcalans, which was just conquered by the northern army in the brutal eastward expedition. With the message of death, he ran across barren farmland, through abandoned villages, encountered patrolling samurai, and arrived at a chilling, heavily fortified city of Hot Springs.

Hot Spring City is the back road of the army of the North Road. When the messenger arrived here, he said a few words with a gloomy expression, and the warriors showed grief, shed tears, and cried and wailed in the sky, and even cut their cheeks!

Then, the messenger continued to run to the southeast, through the more deadly wilderness, and after several teams of samurai patrols, finally arrived at Feathered Serpent City, where the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army was stationed.

King Avet was in Feathered Serpent City, looking at the map on the table with his trusted female snake, discussing the next offensive.

"Gilim, it's been a month and a half since the Feathered Serpent City was captured in early May. Each legion besieged three snake cities and looted the rich Tlaxcala Valley... Now, the surrounding area of ​​more than fifty miles The tribes outside the city have all been cleaned up, it's time for the next step in the siege!"

After Feathered Serpent City fell, the entire northern gateway of Tlaxcala was unable to stop the army of the north road. Seven North Road Corps, with a total of more than 50,000 people, were successively deployed within dozens of miles. All the legions were full of murderous intentions, spreading flames all the way, and slaughtered hard, sweeping the heart of the Tlaxcala people, the Tlaxcala state of 400,000 people!

Tens of thousands of warriors rushed in, and the Tlaxcala army fought two battles and lost 2,000 warriors before shrinking in an all-round way. The god-born nobles of the cloud snake gave up all fields and villages, tried their best to concentrate warriors, Ding Zhuang and food, and defended themselves in the three dangerous snake cities that echoed each other. As for the Tlaxcala tribes in the four fields, they could only flee one after another, avoiding the front of the army and desperately fleeing into the mountains.

At the end of May, almost the same time the high priest left the capital. The seven northern legions officially arrived under the three snake cities and surrounded the ancestral land of the Tlaxcalans. Then, Avit personally led the eagle warriors to observe the most eastern hill city, White Snake City, and frowned deeply.

The north and west of White Snake City are towering mountains, while the south and east are slightly flat fields.

"It is surrounded by mountains on both sides and can only be attacked from two flat sides. The city is not large, and the city wall is seven or eight meters high, almost like a fortress. But the most difficult thing is... This is a hill city, located on a hill that is more than ten meters high. above!"

Avit looked calm, shook his head, and found it difficult. The warriors had to attack 20 to 30 meters upwards to reach the head of the White Snake City. To attack such a fortress, the catapult is difficult to use, and the bow and arrow are also very disadvantageous. There are only six condor cannons, which can barely reach the city head. If the defenders in the city resisted to the end, if they wanted to capture the fortress, the casualties of the samurai would definitely not be few.

"Flower carvings, dead dogs, bring your armored guards, and come with me to see Cloud Snake City!"

Afterwards, King Avit took two confidants and three thousand armored elites to bypass the White Snake City and go deep into the northern mountains for seven or eight miles. He climbed up the hill in the mountain, raised his head, glanced at the Cloud Snake City hundreds of meters away, and his expression changed suddenly. He forgot to breathe in shock, just moaning in pain.

"...The first of the four snake cities in the ancestral land, the mountain fortress that never falls, the Tepetícpac-Tex built on the mountain, Tepetícpac-Tlaxcala, the Cloud Snake City!..."

Many kings' personal guards looked at Cloud Snake Mountain City, even if they were all alliance warriors, they all showed fear and silence. The Cloud Snake City in front of you is located on a dangerous mountain nearly 200 meters away. The mountain is continuous, the first half is steep and abnormal, and the second half suddenly slows down, forming several gentle hills on the top of the mountain. There are mountain springs on the hilltops, and cities can be built, some terraced fields can be cultivated, and there are camps in the nearby mountains, where 10,000 or 20,000 people can be stationed. On the edge of the hill, you can rely on the mountain to build a stone block to block the pass and form a complete defense.

The ancestors of the Tlaxcala people, in order to resist the attack of the Tepanek people, chose this place from the mountains to build the dangerous Cloud Snake Mountain City!

Cloud Snake Mountain City, surrounded by mountains on all sides, only has a narrow mountain road to climb in the south. This mountain city has never fallen since it was built. If you want to attack this place, the alliance's bows, catapults and condor cannons are difficult to use. Warriors must brave arrows falling from their heads, deadly slings and blocks of wood, struggle to climb mountains, then use hooks to climb passes, and attack the layers...

"This Cloud Snake City is even harder to beat than Ottopan Mountain City. Even if you invest 100,000 warriors... I'm afraid..."

Avit looked at the cloud snake flag on the mountain city, and the looming Tlaxcala warriors, lost for a long time. He remembered the end of Tissock's siege of Ottopan Mountain City, and the end of the betrayal of people's hearts, and his heart suddenly shuddered. Then, barely calming down, he smiled confidently and laughed out loud to the cronies around him.

"Haha, these damned Tlaxcala gods, the so-called flying cloud snakes, turned out to be just gophers hiding in the mountains! Let them stay in the mountains and watch us wipe out all the Tlaxcala tribes outside the mountains. !... The Lord God blesses the Alliance, and the Eastern Expedition will surely win!"

"Blessed by the Lord! The Eastern Expedition will surely win!"

Encouraged by the king, the guards responded in unison. Then, Avit walked down the hill and led the warriors back, never mentioning the attack on Cloud Snake City. He continued to go south, traveled more than ten miles, and then went to observe the last snake city in the southwest, the tree snake city.

Avit ran all the way, and when he saw the tree snake city on the plain, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Tree Snake City is located in the heart of the Tlaxcala Basin, the land is fertile and extremely rich. Among the four snake cities, this city has the largest area, the most prosperous population, and the strongest strength. The city wall of Tree Snake City is eight or nine meters high and covers an area of ​​nearly five square kilometers. It can be regarded as the capital of the entire Tlaxcala Alliance.

Of course, behind the four snake cities of Tlaxcala, each has a **** of hunting gods, who are in charge of one side, and they are equal in status, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. The system of the Four-State Alliance is also jointly governed by the leaders of the four cities, and the god-born nobles from all over the country together decide the major events of the Four-State Alliance.

"The north of Tree Snake City is the winding Tras River, and the other three sides are plains suitable for planting. The city wall is eight or nine meters high, and the defenders are tens of thousands. Although it is still dangerous, it is like Feathered Snake City... ."

Awitt's face slowly showed a smile. He took a deep look at the flag of the gods at the head of Huishu Snake City, and led the armored warriors back to the camp of Feathered Snake City. Then, the North Road army left three legions to block the three snake cities. The remaining four legions, 30,000 Mexican troops, were divided into more than ten battalions, and they were scattered in all directions.

The army of the North Road passed by, like a sieve sifting through grain, setting fire to villages, destroying tribes, and capturing and killing tens of thousands!

But in January, dozens of towns and villages north of Tlaxcala were burned to the ground. The Tlaxcala people are the old enemies of the alliance for decades, and the tribes in the Tlaxcala Basin here are the ruling core of the four-state alliance, the most rigid main group.

King Avit is ruthless, and the various legions on the northern road will never be soft-hearted. As long as all the tribes in the basin resist a little, the entire clan will be slaughtered, Ding Zhuang as a sacrifice, and women as property!

According to Gilliam's estimate, this month, about 20,000 strong men have been captured, and the same number of school-age women. As for the Tlaxcala tribe that was wiped out, it should be more than 100,000. Counting the enemies executed in the Battle of Feathered Serpent City, the main group of 400,000 people in Tlaxcala State has been cut off by 180,000 to 90,000 people, and nearly half of them have been slaughtered!

"Your Majesty, the three snake cities are in danger of being difficult to attack, and they echo each other. In order to reduce the losses of the royal army, siege should be the main thing, and there is no need to rush."

Gilliam saluted solemnly and admonished respectfully.

"When the holy city of Cholula officially surrenders, the army of the South Road will be able to go north for 80 miles and reach the outside of the tree snake city. At that time, the north and the south will join forces to besiege the dangerous cities of Cloud Snake Mountain and White Snake Hill, and build trebuchets. With the shield car, first attack the tree snake city on the plain, and then try to attack the white snake hill city..."

"At that time, there will be catapults, bows and bronze cannons, which can be used as siege suppression; there will be many city-state legions, which can be used as siege pioneers; and armored kingdom legions, which can be the main force in siege... The king only needs to lead The royal legion, standing in the rear, commanding the various armies, attacking and destroying the eastern enemy, and establishing immortal achievements!"

Hearing this, Avit's expression flashed and he fell into thought. His eyes became deep, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. Destroy the old enemy of Tlaxcala, weaken the city-states around the alliance, and after returning to the capital, you can implement reforms again and carry out the next step of centralization!

"Ok..."

King Avet nodded slightly~www.readwn.com~ was about to give permission when the big tent was suddenly opened.

The two newly formed hair-cutting guards entered the tent with their heads lowered, bringing along a messenger from the capital who was sweating profusely. The messenger had sweat on his body and tears on his face. As soon as he entered the tent, he fell to the ground and shouted sadly.

"Supreme King, I have come from the capital with a cry of death..."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Avit and Gilliam looked at each other, and at the same time there was an unknown in their hearts. The king frowned suddenly and looked at the messenger who fell to the ground.

"What happened? Tell me now!"

"Half a month ago, the dazzling morning star, the holy high priest, died in the holy city of Cholula and was poisoned! And a few days later, the immortal sun, the revered elder, died of illness in the capital of the lake and went to the kingdom of God! ...the morning star and the sun have fallen together!!"

"Ah!! Elder, uncle!..."

"What?! The High Priest is dead?!"

The shocking shouts instantly came out from the mouths of Avet and Gilliam, like the roar of a jaguar. When such shocking news came, it was like the collapse of Yanfeng Divine Mountain. It was unbelievable and his mind was blank.

The two of them have always been thoughtful and calm, but at this moment, they both widened their eyes and opened their mouths, completely losing control of their expressions, and even their bodies trembled!

Afterwards, there was a dead silence in the big tent, and there was no sound of the wind. More than a dozen guarded Mexica warriors stood there, motionless, and their breathing stopped. The only thing left in the tent is the low cry of the envoy of the capital, "woo woo", like the lament of death, entangled in the hearts of all Mexicans, and deeply carved into the bone marrow, and can never be dissipated~~Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
