"The powerful rain god!..."
Surrounded by hundreds of warriors, the military leader of Yeguo City, Yunshi Kawa, stood on the east bank of the river. He squinted his eyes to avoid the dazzling sunset in the west, and carefully looked at the long boats on the river.
"What on earth is that?"
"Leader Yunshi, that should be the Aztec tiger man's ship."
Senior scout Qiaoao lowered his head and answered respectfully.
"Two days ago, I saw these boats being towed and walking on the water."
"What, there is such a big ship!"
Yun Shikawa's eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand to draw in front of his eyes, estimating the length of the longship.
"At least as long as twelve men! Ten times as long as a canoe!"
The length of a person is about 1.5 meters. Twelve people are long, which is 18 meters. The canoes of the mountain tribes are relatively small, usually only two meters long in order to facilitate landing.
"Ear, aren't the Aztec Tigers in the north good at foot combat? How could they build such a sacred ship?"
Yun Shikava clenched his spear, inexplicably surprised. The people of the rain worship the rain god, and the boat in the water is also an important symbol of faith for them.
According to legend, after having sex with the Rain Goddess, the Quetzalcoatl God made a big mistake and took a snake boat to the great lake in the east. The Mayans, who owned large ships and believed in the feathered serpent, had always had good relations with the Mixtec states on the southern coast and had frequent business contacts. In the prosperous Black Mandala, there are often merchant ships of the Coast Maya, passing through the endless vast southern lake, bringing precious high-quality turquoise and jade.
"... Chief, they may not be tiger men."
Er Qiaoao scratched his head and said uncertainly.
"I've heard them singing, and it doesn't seem to be Nahua. Their accents are very similar to the group of nobles who escaped a few years ago. They should be the Eagle People of the Condor Tribe... The Eagle People are good at building ships, and they are also related to The city-states traded bronzes. These large ships were probably built by them."
The name "djo'o" means "ear" in Mixtec. Well, scouts who get this name usually have excellent hearing.
"Eagleman of Tarasco?"
Hearing this, unforgettable memories emerged in Yun Shikava's mind.
A few years ago, Prince Tarasco and Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Route, Queius, came ashore not far from the southwest along the Talsas River and fled into the city of Yeguo. As one of the military leaders of Yeguo City, he entertained the other party's group for several months with great hospitality.
However, when the Aztec king personally commanded the army and defeated the Tlaxcala snake army, the attitude of the elders changed. Leader Yun Chen in the Divine Stone City also sent a message. In the end, it was he who took matters into his own hands and sent the brave Prince Quius on his way with a cup of wonderful poisonous wine.
"Ha! The elders are timid, and the leader Yunchen is also hesitant. Today, the eagles have become the minions of the tiger people, and the snake people are about to perish! The evil tigers of the Aztecs rush towards us and eat them in one bite After descending into the Temple of the Clouds...the sacred people of the rain, what choice do we have now? We can only fight!"
Thinking of this, Yun Shikava's eyes sharpened, and fighting spirit burned in his chest. He looked around at the crowd of tribal warriors and shouted encouragement.
"Warriors of the Rain God! The ferocious tiger-men and eagle-men actually appeared here, not far from the city-state! They were sitting in big ships and wanted to sneak attack our city and destroy our temple... .Just like what is happening right now in the Tehuacán Valley!”
Speaking of this, Yun Shikawa paused. The reason why he led his army and appeared here was because he received the news that Shenshi City was besieged and hurriedly withdrew his troops from the Quagmire Village, preparing to return to Yeguo City to garrison.
"The Rain God is angry, the Rain God is roaring! This is the divine domain of the Rain God Zhawi, and it is also our land! We are the descendants of the Rain God, and we have been blessed by the God for thousands of years!"
Yun Shikawa looked excited and raised his spear. Even the feathers on his back were shaking in the wind.
"Warriors of the Rain God! In order to protect our homeland, go ahead and attack to the death to defeat the invading enemies! Because the supreme Rain God is looking at us!"
"Ho! The Rain God is watching us!..."
More than a thousand tribal warriors, with fanatical expressions, roared in unison, like wind and thunder before a storm. Then, forty small boats, carrying nearly two hundred tribal warriors, went down the river and pounced on the long boat on the west bank of the lower reaches!
"...The Mixtecs are coming!"
Sharp shouts spread along the river bank, and the Prepecha warriors in formation instantly became nervous. Battalion Commander Pimen climbed onto the hill, watched the incoming boat group, and also adjusted the position of the military formation. It wasn't until the Mixtec boats were getting closer and closer, approaching within two hundred paces, that he was sure and shouted loudly.
"The enemy's target is the longship! Archers, move forward fifty steps to help defend the kingdom's fleet, shoot freely!"
The boat group sailed towards the longship and engaged in a water battle. The heavily armored warriors and young captives on the shore were temporarily useless. The only ones who can provide immediate support are the archers in the camp.
"One hundred steps, eighty steps, sixty steps! Archers on board, shoot quickly!"
Puapula opened his big bow, aimed at the tribal warriors on the boat, and shot them with one arrow.
"Whoosh!"
There is no doubt that this precise arrow... grazed the enemy's hair and shot into the water.
"Damn it! Smooth wind and current, the enemy's boat is so fast!"
Puap gritted his teeth, squinted his eyes, looked at the enemy ships getting closer and closer, and drew his bow again to shoot arrows.
"Swish swish!"
The boat group sailed within forty steps, and the second round of feather arrows came quickly. Almost instantly, several screams broke out from the Mixtec warriors on the opposite side. Several tribal warriors tilted their bodies and fell into the water with a "plop". The group of rushing boats immediately began to scatter.
"Swish swish!"
Within twenty steps, the third round of feather arrows was shot from the shore and the boat at the same time. The Mixtec people's shouts suddenly became shrill and shrill! A dozen elites were killed by arrows, many more were injured, and several boats collided with each other. However, the remaining Mixtec warriors drove closer and closer in flying boats. They raised the spears in their hands, and with the speed of the water and the speed of the boat, they let out ferocious howls as soon as they took aim.
"The rain god bless you! For the tribe! Shoot!..."
"Boohoo!...Uh!..."
"O blind god!"
Chihuaco, the old militiaman, trembled all over and squatted down subconsciously. A heavy and sharp stone spear roared over his head, and with a "duh" sound, it was nailed to the solid wood deck. Another sailor on the ship only had time to scream before he was shot to the ground by a vicious spear. The falling stone spear pierced the cotton armor and opened a huge wound. Bright red and internal organs flowed across it instantly, making it impossible to save him.
The accuracy of the Mixtec spears was indeed slightly poor, and they only hit seven or eight people. But this kind of spear throwing is extremely fierce due to the speed of the boat. If you hit it, you will die!
"Blessed by the Lord God, there are only twenty steps left! Ten steps! Damn it, you are not slowing down, you are crazy!!"
The river is turbulent and bright red spreads. The boat was so fast that it hit him like a spear. Huitu Puap dropped his longbow and raised his shield. He roared angrily, even his expression was distorted.
"Quick! Quick! The warriors set up their spears and the sailors held their spears! Press the shields on both sides and prepare for the impact!...Ah!"
"Boom!... Bang! Bang!"
