"Boom! Boom!..."
Thunder rolls, echoing in the sky full of dark clouds, like the roar of the storm god, heralding the arrival of the rainy season.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The roar of cannons exploded from the Mexica siege formation, like the wrath of the God of Thunder, bringing the cry of death!
"Crack!...Ah!..."
Accompanied by the thunder of heaven and earth, eight round stone bullets were ejected from the mouth of the golden copper beast. With unstoppable power, they bombarded the stubborn tree snake city head. The eight or nine meter high city wall was already stained with blood, and there was coagulated dark red flesh and blood everywhere, blackened by flames.
"The cloud snake protects me!"
Seeing the stone bullets coming, the brave cloud snake hunter had to immediately squat down to avoid it and pray to the God of Hunting anxiously. Although these stone bullets are small in number, they are extremely powerful. As long as they hit the defenders at the top of the city, they will bring certain death! Even the bravest warriors of Tlaxcala can't resist it in the slightest!
However, after a few breaths, heavy stone bullets were fired. The large shield and wooden planks erected at the top of the city were broken through in an instant, followed by a howl that was as shrill as a human voice!
"Ah!...Uh!...Crash..."
The stone bullets broke through the wooden shields, and countless broken pieces of wood flew backwards, like sputtering blades, across the exposed bodies of the militiamen, exploding into a mist of blood. Facing the Mexica's god-given weapons, dozens of surrounding militiamen were terrified and fled to both sides desperately, even jumping off the city walls.
The Tlaxcala warrior who supervised the battle had a gloomy look on his face. He dropped his war stick and killed the fleeing militiamen. Then, more numb-looking moth people were driven in to fill the front line at the top of the city. After days of hellish fighting, the Tlaxcala nobles had long understood that the copper beast's bombardment was just the prelude to the siege. And what follows is the suppression of bows and arrows that cover the sky, and the ants that are getting stronger day by day ascending to the city!
"Dong, dong dong!..."
Fierce war drums beat, and the Mexican military formations on all sides began to move. Travit at the top of the city took a few glances, then pursed his lips and tightened his grip on the long bow in his hand.
"The damn Mexica people, without any regard for casualties, attacked from all sides at the same time! How can the noble lives of the warriors be wasted like firewood?"
"Dong dong dong!..."
"God bless you! Fight for the king!"
The two thousand Mexican longbowmen of the Royal Longbow Corps shouted in unison, divided into four teams of five hundred men, and under the cover of two thousand shield warriors, approached the four city walls. These royal elites were all wearing cloth-covered armor and bronze helmets. They ran in small steps with their heads lowered. When they came fifty steps outside the city, they raised their bows and shot arrows at the top of the city.
"Swish swish!..."
The rain of arrows from the top of the city was commanding, roaring first. Thousands of Tlaxcala bone arrows shot out like dark clouds and hit the wooden shields of the large shield warriors, making a loud "duh" sound. And among the dull sounds, there were also many "dingdongs" of metal collisions.
There are obviously many elite hunters among the Tlaxcala people in Tree Snake City. They can pass through the gaps in the wooden shield and accurately hit the vital points of the head and chest. Unfortunately, facing opponents wearing bronze armor, the casualties the hunters can cause are very limited.
Travette narrowed his eyes and took aim for a long time, then he took the precious copper arrow and shot it.
"Whoosh!"
A Mexica royal archer suddenly stopped, and the big bow in his hand dropped weakly. He stretched out his hand with difficulty, trying to touch the painful neck, but lost all his strength and fell softly to the ground, and soon lost his breath.
"call!"
Travit took a long breath, took a quick look, and immediately lowered his body and hid behind the wooden planks of the tree. In the entire Tree Snake City, there are only a few Tlaxcala warriors with shooting skills like his who can injure bronze-armored archers. This round of arrows, which had been prepared for a long time, only caused more than a dozen casualties. However, the enemy's counterattack arrows were coming in an instant, but they were even more powerful!
"Swish swish!..."
The bronze-armored archers did not pause, facing the enemy's arrow rain, raising their bows and firing volleys at the top of the city! The sharp copper arrows brought the cry of death and struck the city where the defenders were densely packed. Dozens of militiamen were immediately killed. These militiamen guarding the city were unarmored, with only a piece of cloth at most. If they were not covered by the wooden shield of the city, they would be the best targets.
"Dong dong dong!..."
Up and down the city, the archers fired at each other, suppressing each other. The arrows on both sides were being consumed rapidly, the archers' stamina was also being consumed rapidly, and the frequency of shooting quickly decreased. The war drums beating in the Mexican army formation became more and more urgent.
"The Lord God bless us, the whole army will attack!"
King Avit stood on the hill southeast of Yunshe City and waved the flag with his own hands. Within a moment, four Mexican legions launched sieges from the east, west, north, and south.
"Blessed by the Lord God! Sacrifice for the elders and fight for the king!"
Outside the east city, two thousand bronze-armored warriors from the royal army set up tall ladders and took the lead in attacking. They are the true elites of the alliance, they are battle-hardened and have a calm demeanor. At this moment, they were wearing strong bronze armor and running at an unhurried pace toward the Tree Snake City.
"Blessed by the Lord God! Blood sacrifice to Tree Snake City to avenge the legion commander!"
Outside the south city, 800 warriors of the Sourwood Legion and 1,000 militiamen, filled with the flames of revenge, attacked the Tree Snake City. Most of the hundreds of warriors who led the way were personal guards of the Sourwood family, led by the burly Texi Whitt. Texi Whitt's eyes were red, like a running bison, and his murderous intent was burning like fire!
The respected head of the family, Jotiko, was shot dead by the despicable Tlaxcala people during a night attack. The remaining hundreds of Sourwood Guards had recovered from their grief and had only one idea left: to attack the city with all their might and avenge the family head!
"Blessed by the Lord God! Destroy the old enemies of Tlaxcala and fight here!"
It was Sintel's Wejian Legion that attacked Beicheng. The Ashama Legion comes from the Toto Nilk State and has been fighting with the Tlaxcala people for many years, and they are also quite similar in appearance. Thousands of reed warriors wear cotton armor, rattan hats on their heads, and carry bows and arrows on their backs. The same number of militiamen carried ladders and approached the towering city wall. In order to eliminate the old enemy from the east that threatened the city-state, the Ashama Legion also spent a lot of money, and all the elite warriors went into battle.
"Blessed by the Lord God! Offer a bloody sacrifice to the immortal sun!"
Finally, Pacho's Xiajin Army was responsible for the West City. Under the king's strict supervision, they dispatched 800 warriors and 1,000 militiamen as the first group to attack the city.
"Damn Mexica! Today's siege has just begun, and tens of thousands of warriors and militiamen have been dispatched!"
Oakot, the Lord of Tree Snake City, was worried and couldn't help but pray in a low voice. Wearing gorgeous clothes, he stood on the 30-meter-high twin pyramids and had a clear view of the battle situation in the four cities.
In the fields outside the city, there are Mexica legion flags and dark green Union warriors everywhere. Thunder roared in the sky, copper beasts roared on the ground, feathers and arrows intertwined into dark clouds, and the ladders came like giant beasts, as if the end of the world was coming!
More than ten days have passed since that victorious night attack. Ten days ago, the royal banner of the Mexica people came from the northeastern mountain pass, leading tens of thousands of Mexica legions. They were like the tide of the great eastern lake, rushing to the foot of Tree Snake City. They surrounded the entire city and attacked continuously for days.
Under the strict orders of the King of Mexica, the various alliance legions went crazy, regardless of casualties. They drove the trench-filling militia and sent out elite warriors to attack the city for days! The attack on Tree Snake City only lasted ten days before reaching a cruel and fierce climax!
The merciless fighting continues day and night, and the disappearance of souls never stops. The noble nobles and warriors, like the falling maple leaves in late autumn, turned into dyes of red and death, smeared up and down the city.
In Okote's view, the brutal siege battle was like a millstone of flesh and blood, with thousands of fresh lives thrown into it, grinding it into continuous bloody mud. Thousands of fallen corpses accumulated under the Tree Snake City, almost making the towering city wall shorter by one meter.
"O supreme cloud snake! Please protect your people, send down continuous heavy rain, protect the sacred snake city, and survive the evil killings!"
Okot looked up at the sky, expecting the heavy rain to fall. Then, he looked at the flag of the King of Mexica in the southeast. The pattern of "The Commander of Evil Spirits" was fluttering in the wind, like a symbol of death. At this moment, he prayed devoutly to the God of Hunting, praying for the protection of the Supreme God. Because apart from the gods and the heavy rain, he had no hope.
"Today's attack on the city means that the whole army will attack! Don't stop bombarding with bronze cannons, and don't stop suppressing the archers! All gunpowder and arrows must be used up in this battle!"
Avit stood under the king's flag, with fire in his eyes, staring at the pyramid temple in the Tree Snake City. In the Mexica people's concept, only by burning the temples of the enemy city-states and sacrificing the enemy's noble descendants is the most complete conquest!
"Before the heavy rain comes, I must capture this city!"
The king looked coldly and glanced at the dark clouds in the east. It was already early July, and there would be at most two or three days before the rains that would hinder the siege would arrive. In more than ten days, it will be late July, when the rainy season is at its peak, and the Tlaxcala Basin, which has abundant rainfall, will turn into a marshland. There is not much time left for the alliance.
In the area of the three snake cities, he has a total of seven legions as the main force of the North Road. Izel's mountain army was the first to be loyal to the king, and they also captured the lord of the Clouded Serpent City and made great achievements. Therefore, they received preferential treatment and were responsible for guarding the Clouded Serpent City in the north. His trusted general "Hua Diao" led a royal regiment and more than 10,000 militiamen to guard White Snake City in the northeast and maintain the food routes to the rear.
In addition, the other five legions, more than 30,000 troops, all gathered under the Tree Snake City. At this moment, including the Longbow Legion for shooting cover, five alliance legions, totaling tens of thousands of warriors and militiamen, were launching attacks outside the four cities at the same time. And behind the tens of thousands of vanguards, there are also the second formation of ten thousand people in rotation, and even the third formation in preparation, which is really the whole army pressing forward!
After thinking for a moment, Avitt's heart was as strong as jade, and he calmly looked around at the battlefield in front of him.
Amidst the fierce rain of arrows and stone-throwing, ladders were gradually built up on the top of the city. Thousands of Mexican warriors were like ants, holding weapons and trying their best to climb to the top of the city. From time to time, warriors from both sides would fall from the city wall in an entanglement and go to the Kingdom of God together.
“The ants that invade the city rely on courage and determination!”
With the blessing of devout faith and military promotion, Mexica warriors are full of courage to fight. In their belief in guarding their homeland, the Tlaxcala people are also full of determination. The two sides collided with each other, refusing to give in to each other. It was a millstone of flesh and blood, extremely brutal!
