"Blessed by the God of Hunting! Nieka, you and your family's warriors all charge forward!"
The city head was obviously unstable, and the situation looked critical. The black snake Turcotte stood on a high place and shouted angrily. He hurriedly waved the command flag, mobilized his trusted warrior commander Nieka, and led five hundred elite family warriors to the city to support him.
"Charge! Drive the enemy off the city!"
"Kill! Hack down the agouti defending the city!"
Cloud ladders were put up on the top of the city, and copper hooks were fastened to the city walls. Soon, one or two hundred Tekos axe-wielding warriors climbed up in two steps and jumped into the crowd at the top of the city to fight. They held shields in one hand to block, and wielded copper axes in one hand, slashing fiercely among the militiamen, like coyotes hunting down hares.
These tribal warriors were selected from thousands of surrendered soldiers and have a reputation for bravery among the Tekos tribes. They were all promised that as long as they didn't die first, they would be officially incorporated into the legion and promoted to the third-level warriors of the kingdom! And if you can kill the leader of the Tlaxcala people, you will even be promoted again and become a military noble of the kingdom!
At this moment, there is a red-haired hunter supervising the battle in the rear. If you retreat, you will definitely die. Ahead is the shaky Shuigu City. Only by climbing into the city and fighting for your life can you have a chance of survival. Great reward is ahead, death is behind. The tribal warriors had no choice but to muster up their courage and fight hard at the top of the city!
"Bah!"
A tattooed Tecos warrior swung a one-handed ax and struck the Tlaxcala militiaman hard on the chest. A large amount of bright red instantly sprayed out, splashing all over his head and face. He grinned, wiped his eyes quickly, and lunged at the other young militiaman again.
The young militiaman's hands and feet were trembling. He held the stone spear in his hand and stabbed twice randomly, both of which pierced the opponent's shield. The tattooed warrior did not hesitate. As soon as Fang approached, he directly raised his copper ax and slashed hard again.
"Hey! Poof!..."
Warmth sputtered, and blood mist rose in front of his eyes, which actually broke the artery in his neck. The Tekos warrior narrowed his eyes and took a step back. Just as he was about to wipe his face, a strong wind suddenly hit him from the side.
"Bang! Click!"
The heavy obsidian war club hit the skull, making a "click" of dislocated bones. The tattooed head turned half a circle, like twisting a ripe Marmite. The Tekos warrior fell to the ground softly without making a sound, and died on the spot.
"Bah! Damn barbarian!"
Black Snake Warrior Commander Nieka revealed his figure and walked out of the militia. He wore refined cotton armor, a thickened leather hat, and a sleeved battle shirt. The bright colors on the suit and the family crest of the black snake make him a senior warrior of Tlaxcala.
The traditions of various Mesoamerican tribes are quite similar. The more senior warriors are, the more gorgeous their clothes will be, and they will even have fur and feathers hanging down. On the battlefield, they are the backbone of military morale and the most conspicuous targets.
"You all, push down the wooden ladder!"
Black Snake Warrior Commander Nieka looked at the militia at the top of the city and gave an order. Then, he looked around the city and found the location of the next ladder.
The fighting there was even more critical. Several Tekos warriors stood firm and opened a gap. A steady stream of enemies are climbing up the gap. The few Tlaxcala warriors guarding the city just passively held up their shields and assumed a defensive posture, struggling to resist the enemy's attack.
"Damn it! These city-state warriors at the top of the city are all frightened by the copper beast!"
Nieka cursed, bent down again, and rushed towards the city with a dozen warriors. From time to time, whistling arrows struck, grazing his back, sending chills down his spine.
"Dedicate yourself to the Lord God!..."
A faint voice came from the south, and was immediately drowned in the shouts of death at the top of the city, without attracting much attention.
"Bah! These damn bronze-armored archers!"
Nieka held up her shield and walked cautiously towards the enemy's position. The bronze-armored archers used sharp bronze arrows, which was too much of a threat to the warriors. He didn't have the opponent's strong cloth-covered bronze armor... Thinking of this, Nieka turned her head and looked at the armor of the archers with envy. Then, hundreds of rapidly running throwing pioneers suddenly came into his eyes.
"Huh? This is?..."
Nieka was startled. He looked down at the city in confusion. These running figures did not hold weapons, but held a strange caltrop ball. And on the pottery ball, there seems to be a faint smoke?
"Dedicate yourself to the Lord God!..."
The hurling pioneers came closer and closer, and the pious shouts gradually became clearer. Some people were shot by bows and arrows from the top of the city, and the pottery balls rolled down in their hands. Seeing the smoking pottery ball rolling down, the nearby bronze-armored archers showed fear and hurriedly moved to the shield carts on both sides.
"Um?"
Nieka's heart trembled, and she felt a little uncertain. A pottery ball that can make bronze-armored archers fearful?
"Dedicate yourself to the Lord God!..."
Within a moment, the throwing pioneers rushed to the city. Then, they hugged the pottery ball with one hand and quickly climbed to the top of the city. Before they could fully gain a foothold, they threw the pottery ball in their hands without hesitation!
"Bang, bang!"
Gu You
Dozens of pottery balls scattered at the top of the city, rolling to the feet of the gathered defenders, still emitting a faint green smoke,
"ah?!"
Nieka stared at the pottery ball six or seven meters away with wide eyes. Then, the premonition of danger seemed to materialize, making his heart twitch. The Black Snake Warrior Commander ignored the shouts and immediately squatted down at the top of the city, holding the shield in front of him.
"Um?"
Nieka held up the shield and waited nervously for a few breaths. The pottery ball was just smoking, but there was no movement at all. The people at the top of the city were still fighting, shouting and shouting. On the contrary, the pioneer who threw the pottery ball jumped off the city wall again, ran a few steps in a hurry, and crouched in the bottom corner, almost shrinking into a ball.
"You go and see!"
The Black Wolf Warrior Commander gave the order. A young warrior held up his shield and came to the pottery ball. He reached out his hand in confusion and touched the hot pottery shell.
"Warrior Commander Nika, it's hot!"
The young warrior turned his head and smiled brightly. Then, a terrible thunder suddenly exploded at the top of the city!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The smoking pottery ball exploded, sputtering out countless sharp fragments. The fragments were like the sharpest blades, cutting down the warriors and militia gathered at the city head to the ground in pieces. Rolling black smoke rose, and large blood flowers shot out, and were burned into blood mist by the high temperature.
"ah!!"
Nieka's eyes widened and her liver and gallbladder burst. He almost watched with his own eyes as the young warrior was hit by countless fragments and turned into a tattered cloth bag!
Thunder crackled and life flew by. Within three meters of the pottery ball, three Tecos warriors and more than a dozen defenders were all knocked down by the debris. Further away, a large group of militiamen lost their footing and fell to the ground due to the thunder, and rolled down the city in one piece. Even Nieka himself sat down on the ground and couldn't get up for a while.
The fighting city was instantly quiet, with only the echo of thunder. At this moment, no matter whether they were the nobles, warriors or militiamen of Tlaxcala, they were speechless for a moment.
The roar and explosion shocked people's hearts. The black snake Turcotte stood at a high place, and the obsidian war club in his hand fell to the ground at some point. Unknown fear surged into his heart, swallowing up his reason like a bottomless abyss. After a while, his voice became hoarse and he asked with difficulty.
"What...what is this?"
"Ah!...Evil! It's an evil! It's an evil summoned by the Mexica!"
After a while, a horrified cry finally sounded from the top of the city. Hundreds of militiamen threw away their weapons and stumbled down from the city. Even if they fall and break their limbs, they still have to stay away from the terrifying city. Under continuous blows, these defensive militias finally collapsed and could no longer continue fighting.
A large gap is revealed in the southern city wall. The guarding Tlaxcala warriors also looked panicked and shouted meaninglessly, not knowing what to do.
"God of the Hunt! Have you abandoned us?..."
Nieka sat at the top of the city in a daze, brushing against death. There was a mess in front of him, with dazzling bright red everywhere. At this time, even with his tenacity, his faith was shaken and he had doubts about the battle.
"Mexicans, there really is evil to help!...How can we resist?..."
"Charge for His Highness!!"
A deafening shout came from not far away, awakening Nieka who was in a state of despair. He looked down at the city in horror, only to see hundreds of bronze-armored warriors, holding sharp two-handed axes, charging toward the city wall fiercely!
Soon, these heavily armored warriors rushed to the city. Taking advantage of the chaos at the top of the city, they quickly climbed up without stopping. Then, the sharp bronze ax swung over fiercely, directly cutting the defenders who dared to block it into two halves!
"It's over!"
Seeing the Mexica elites ascending the city, Nieka was filled with despair. A heavily armored warrior raised his ax high and slashed violently. Relying on his strong armor and not caring about the thrusts of the war spear, he beheaded three black snake warriors to death in two strokes!
The warm current of the big tent splashed and fell on the face of the Black Snake Warrior Commander Nika. The strong fishy smell hit his nostrils instantly. Nieka shivered suddenly, turned over suddenly, and ran away under the city wall. His feet were like wind, and he stepped on the slippery and sticky stone steps, past the frightened militiamen who were waiting to die, and rushed straight to the head of the family who stood stunned on a high place.
Behind him, hundreds of Mexica warriors ascended the southern city. They swung their axes fiercely and thrust out their spears, extending towards the city walls on both sides. The number of defenders at the top of the city decreased rapidly, and they either died or fled. The warriors and militiamen prepared under the city were demoralized and in chaos, with no time to replenish them.
Only a quarter of an hour later, the southern wall of Shuigu City was already covered with figures of Mexican warriors. Platinum bronze armored warriors charged down the city, while dark green leather armored warriors threw spears at the top of the city. Soon, the defenders of Nancheng could no longer hold on and began to retreat to the rear.
"Ho! Roar!"
The heavily armored warriors stood on and off the city wall, holding their battle axes high and roaring like tigers! Subsequently, a passage was dug out of the blocked city gate and opened with a bang! A large group of warriors poured into the city, like a dark green torrent, roaring in victory. At this moment, countless roars combined together, like the roar of a giant beast, and declared loudly with a will that cannot be disobeyed!
"Water Valley City! Broken!!"
