"Boom...boom...boom!"
Half a quarter of an hour later, the drums of the attack slowed down slightly, and the huge military formation immediately moved into action. The second batch of two thousand royal bow warriors quickly moved forward, approached the city wall, and continued to suppress the city.
Outside the city wall full of corpses, the first batch of royal warriors heard the beating of drums and shot their last arrows, killing the militiamen at the top of the city. After fighting for several moments, they shot all two bags of feather arrows and their physical strength was temporarily exhausted. At this moment, they took the corpses of dozens of dead bow warriors and retreated from the city in an orderly manner.
"Boom...boom!"
The rhythm of the war drums changed significantly and became increasingly intense again. Two thousand city-state warriors followed the order and rushed to the west and north city walls. The first batch of city-state warriors at the top of the city suffered heavy casualties, but they were unable to open up the situation and could only barely gain a foothold at the top of the city. The corpses of both sides fell from the city like rain, and they were entangled and overlapped, and even the blood formed a small pool.
Seeing the second group of city-state warriors arriving, the first group of warriors breathed a sigh of relief and finally stopped insisting. They took turns covering the city and retreated from the city, abandoning the gap that had been opened. Warriors from each state belong to different legions and have no obligation to shed blood for the attacks of other city-states.
"Praise the God of the Hunt!...Uh..."
Seeing hundreds of remaining Mexica warriors retreating from the city, the Tlaxcala defenders had just cheered when a flurry of precise arrows roared in, taking away dozens of lives!
"Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"
The new royal bow warriors shoot arrows rapidly, focusing on killing the nobles and warriors at the top of the city! The two Tlaxcala nobles howled miserably and fell from their backs. The family warriors behind them panicked. However, the fierce rain of arrows did not stop, hitting the big shield at the top of the city with "bang bang", attacking the enemy who came forward, and suppressing the throwing of the defenders.
"Praise the Lord God and fight for God!"
Under the leadership of the war priest, the second group of city-state warriors shouted. Then, relying on the cover of the bow warriors, they climbed up to the top of the city and continued to fight with the defenders.
Seeing the beginning of a new wave of Mexican siege, Quehuiz, the Lord of the Feathered Serpent City, gritted his teeth. He waved his command flag, and hundreds of feathered serpent warriors rushed to the top of the city to fill the defense line of flesh and blood. The fighting is close at hand, the body is cut with war clubs, and no one can escape. The bright red flower of life bloomed up and down the city; and the sad song of death echoed throughout the Snake City!
"Phew, the warriors of the family have finally retreated!"
Izel, the leader of the mountain tribe, was wearing bronze armor and a robe, standing in the military formation outside the North City. This bronze armor was a gift from His Highness the Kingdom. It is extremely strong and is not afraid of stray arrows on the battlefield.
At this time, Izel looked at the warrior who finally retreated and took a long breath. There was both happiness and distress on his face. Today's battle in the mountains should have ended here, but another two hundred warriors were lost.
"In the past few days, the siege has become more and more brutal. The mountain legion has suffered casualties of six to seven hundred warriors and nearly two thousand militiamen! The four city-state legions together have probably also suffered casualties of two to three thousand warriors and six to seven thousand militiamen... And The king's royal warriors were wearing strong bronze armor, but they only shot arrows to suppress them under the city, with no more than 300 casualties!... If the fight continues like this..."
A hint of evil flashed across Izel's face. But when he thought of the king's three royal legions, thousands of bronze-armored warriors and longbow warriors... Izel sighed deeply and murmured, with hidden hatred in his heart.
"Respect the king of the Mexican Union... You are my king, but you are not the king of the city-state warriors!..."
"Very good! The Xiajin Army of the Weipuchtland State will take over from the Mountain Army of the Trocan State and attack the North City! The Sourwood Army of Tepanikapan will take over from the Wejian Army of the Atotonilka State. Attack West City!"
Avitt looked at the fighting between the various city-state legions with a faint smile on his face. He meant it and said with a smile.
"In this way, the north city is 'gold', and the west city is 'wood'. In today's strong attack, the four city-state legions took turns to go into battle, and each sent a thousand warriors to the city! The warriors fought, coupled with the archers' shooting, there will always be Kill two thousand defenders! If we continue to attack for four or five days like this, I want to see whether the 'gold' breaks the city first or the 'wood' breaks the city first!"
Outside the Feathered Serpent City, there are a total of four city-state legions, each from the four northern states of Mexico. They are Telocan State due west and north, Tepanikapan State to the northwest, Veipuchtland State due north, and Atotonilke State to the northeast. Well, the names of these four states are very difficult to pronounce, but their original meaning is actually popular and straightforward.
The capital of the western state of Trocan is Toluca, one hundred and fifty miles away from the capital. Trocan means "mountain with many golds", which is the city of Jinshan. As the name suggests, Jinshan City is rich in gold, quite wealthy, and has undulating mountains. The Leman River meanders beneath the city and flows eastward into Lake Texcoco. The Mountain Legion comes from here, and has four thousand city-state warriors and four thousand city-state militia under its jurisdiction. The leader of the legion is the leader of the mountain clan, the glorious nobleman Izel.
The capital of Tepanicapan in the northwest is Jocotitlán, which means "the woodland among the sour fruit trees", so it is called sourwood city. Sourwood City is located along the Leman River, two hundred miles away from the capital. It is rich in wood and fruits, and its population is relatively prosperous. The Sourwood Legion also has four thousand city-state warriors and four thousand city-state militia. The leader of the legion is the leader of the Sourwood clan and the glorious nobleman Jotiko.
Due north of Weipuchtland, the capital is Pachoacan, the "Land of Canyons and Gold", Gorgeous Golden City. Xia Jincheng is one hundred and eighty miles away from the capital. It is very similar to Jinshan City. There are many hills and mountains outside the city, and it is rich in gold. But there are not enough rivers here, the farmland is not fertile enough, and the population is sparse. The Xiajin Legion only has 3,000 city-state warriors and 5,000 city-state militiamen, led by Paqiao, the leader of the Xiajin clan and the glorious nobleman.
The northeastern Atoto Nilk State has its capital in Tulancingo, which means "hills among the reeds", that is, the city among the reeds. Weijian City is two hundred and forty miles away from the capital, which is the farthest. Further northeast from Wejian City, a hundred miles away, are the Huastec people who surrendered to the alliance.
In fact, Atotonilca State is located between the Huastec people in the northeast and the Tlaxcala people in the southeast. It is the frontier of the alliance's previous wars. Atotonilco means "land between hot waters".
There are many hot springs in the entire Atotonilke State and the land is very fertile, but one-third of the land is under the control of the Tlaxcala people. In the eastern part of the city, outside Hot Spring City, there are two ancient holy bathing springs, which are religious sites with a long history. It is said that the Holy Spring Temple has a thousand-year heritage and was built in the ancient Teotihuacan era. The Tlaxcala people had been occupying this place until two months ago, when they were captured by the Northern Army of the Eastern Expedition!
In order to fight with the nearby old enemies, Wejian City made every effort to mobilize 5,000 city-state warriors and 3,000 city-state militiamen to form the Wejian Legion with a determined fighting spirit. The commander of the legion is the patriarch of the Reed family, the glorious noble Xintel.
These four glorious nobles commanded the city-state legions and were the real leaders of the northern states of the alliance. They controlled independent armies and their families inherited a large territory. At this moment, they were all summoned by the gods to fight, and they gathered together with the troops. Under the banner of attacking the old enemy, they were sent by the king to the forefront of fighting the Tlaxcala people...
"The divine battle to attack our old enemy is a righteousness that cannot be refused! And the three royal legions in my hands are a trend that cannot be resisted!"
Thinking of this, a cheerful smile appeared on Avitt's cold face. He looked at the bloody battlefield faintly, as if looking at the most beautiful scene. The desire to conquer stirred fiercely in the heart of the king in his prime, making him unable to restrain himself and whispering softly to himself.
"The supreme king is destined to conquer all directions! Whether it is the ministries outside the alliance or the states within the alliance, they must crawl under my feet!...Haha!"
Avitt's laughter echoed low on the hills, full of confidence that he was in control of everything. He enjoys war and continues to wage war to gain glory and power!
Because cruel war will destroy the old order, and it will be up to the strong to formulate a new one. In the new order, loose alliances will be completely reshaped and condensed into a powerful centralized empire!
