"Bless the Lord God! Her light comes from the red Kingdom of God and shines on the blue earth! She gives us the glory in this life, and she gives us the peace after death! We are willing to fight for her glory, and we are willing to fight for her Dedicate yourself to the glory of our country!..."
Pious and fervent prayers rang out from the throwing pioneer camp, accompanied by the blessings and announcements of the accompanying priests, inspiring the fearless throwing warriors.
The chieftain of Hidden Snake City boasted that Snake was wearing leather armor, carrying a throwing spear on his back, and holding a copper axe, standing high on the wall of the main village. He followed the direction from which the prayers came and looked at the shouting guards camp in the distance, instinctively feeling uneasy in his heart.
"Bah! The Feathered Serpent and the Blessing of the Ancestors! The main adobe stronghold has two circles of wooden walls, and the two small villages have a circle of wooden walls, both four meters high! How can such a strong fortress be conquered with just a few prayers? You know, the priests of Hidden Snake Holy City are also praying for us!"
The chieftain boasted that Snake was confident and slapped his shield with his copper axe, boosting the morale of the city-state warriors on the wall.
"The gods bless us! We have seven thousand defenders! There is a steady stream of waterway support! We will keep the Mexicans here until the rainy season arrives!..."
"Dongdongdong!..."
Continuous sound of war drums sounded from the kingdom's camp, and one thousand-man battalions began to line up. Seeing the direction where these warriors from the kingdom were gathering, the chief looked solemn and knew that the Mexica people were going to attack two small villages today. He immediately ordered his bodyguards to select five hundred elite Hidden Snake warriors, preparing to attack in a surprise attack when the opponent was unable to attack the stronghold and was exhausted!

"The other side has less than 10,000 people. I have 7,000 people in my hands and a strong fortress. As long as we hold on for another three months, it will be the rainy season in May..."
Chief Kua Snake narrowed his eyes and thought secretly in his heart. At this moment, he still has the confidence to defend the city and the fighting spirit to fight to the end!
"Dongdongdong!..."
The sound of war drums gradually became more and more urgent, and more than a thousand Totonak soldiers advanced to the two small villages holding simple and wide wooden shields. The bone arrows on the wall of the village immediately came down from a high position and struck.
The "duh" sound of impact kept resounding on the shield, getting thicker and louder. From time to time, soldiers who surrendered were hit by arrows from the side and fell to the ground softly. The shooting at the top of the city only lasted for a moment, and the array of surrender soldiers began to become unstable and showed signs of collapse. Until two thousand Guakili warriors holding long bows came steadily, stood close, and shot sharp arrows!
"Swish swish!..."
Dozens of the defenders on the two small villages were shot down in an instant, and screams broke out. Then, the shooting from both sides went back and forth. The archers on the wall became alert and careful, and the shooting speed dropped significantly. The formation of the surrendered soldiers also stabilized.
"Damn it! These thick-skinned archers with big bows barely suffered any casualties in the shooting!..."
Chief Kua Snake pursed his lips and his expression became serious. The Mexicans were fighting everywhere, and the technology of making large bows had spread throughout Central America. It's just that this kind of large bow requires tough wooden arrows. Due to the scarcity of bronze tools and the shortage of craftsmen in various departments, they can only be produced in small quantities and equipped in the hands of the most elite warriors.
In other words, the production capacity of each department is not enough and they cannot produce too much equipment. In the entire world, only the powerful Mexican Alliance can form a crossbow regiment of thousands of people.
"The Mexica have so many archers... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the rainy season..."
The chief exclaimed that the snake was worried, and the passionate drums sounded again from the opposite side.
"Dongdongdong!..."
More than a thousand Totonak's surrendered troops, under the supervision of the warriors supervising the battle, held high axes in the front row and wooden ladders in the back row, and rushed towards the two small villages. Soon, they arrived in front of the stronghold, braved the arrows and spears fired from time to time, and chopped down a wooden fence outside the stronghold wall. The sporadic screams of the surrendering soldiers were covered up by the fierce drums. In the siege battle, with the "morale bonus" of the supervising team, they were not easily defeated.
"Put up the ladder! Rush up!..."
"Witnessed by the Lord God! The warrior who ascended first has been promoted to three levels in a row and joined the official legion!..."
The kingdom in the lake attaches great importance to military merit, and the military merit of attacking the city first is the most important. Under the supervision of the supervising team and inspired by the generous rewards, more than a thousand surrendering warriors rushed to the two stronghold walls and fought closely with the two thousand Hidden Snake Legions guarding the stronghold!
Large areas of blood-red bloomed at the top of the city, like clusters of red flowers blooming among the dense "ant colonies" and "bee swarms". Then the petals withered and the warriors dropped like insects.
Some people kept screaming and falling off the wall, while others kept shouting and continued to climb up. Both sides are warriors of Totonac, but in different camps, fighting to the death!
"Hey! After His Highness arrived, even the morale of the surrendered soldiers has improved a lot!"
The black wolf Toltec looked at the two fighting villages with surprise in his eyes.
His Highness brought powerful reinforcements, the king's comfort, and the promise of granting lands and titles. His Highness even changed the name from "Totonac Surrender Camp" to "Totonac Recruitment Battalion", and also formed a new "Totonac Pioneer Battalion" to specialize in promoting outstanding performance in battle formations. of Totonac Warriors.
It is said that according to the practice of conquering the land of Tlaxcala, this "Totonac Pioneer Battalion" is likely to eventually expand into the eighth legion of the kingdom! And now, for the possible position of army commander, all the generals are working hard to make contributions in the war!
"Ha! Even if a new legion is formed, it will not be under my control... After winning this battle, I can find an opportunity to test His Highness's tone... and see if I can expand the Guakili legion in my hands to The scale of 10,000 people is just enough to officially integrate the 2,000 Metek Pioneer Battalion that has been trained into the legion..."
Black Wolf was thinking instinctively while looking at the fighting on the wall. The Totonac defenders in the two small villages are all elites of the Eastern Alliance. The surrender troops of the brigade climbed to the top of the wall and were driven back down again, but they were never able to expand the victory. The biggest effect of their fighting was to consume the defenders' physical strength and morale. Provide the most suitable time for the next fatal blow!
After a moment, Black Wolf Toltec smiled and shook his head, waving the red flag in his hand.
"Witness the Lord God! The courage of the surrendering soldiers only lasted a while, and now they are about to collapse again... We still have to let the throwing pioneers take action!"
"Didi!"
The command flag was waved, and the sharp sound of the conch horn sounded from the front line of the fighting. Hearing the sound of retreat, the remaining more than 800 surrendered troops no longer had to hold on, turned around and jumped off the wall of the village, and collapsed towards the rear.
"Swish swish!"
The defenders at the top of the city just breathed a sigh of relief when Dapeng's boneless arrows rose from the kingdom's military formation, killing dozens of people on the spot!
"Dong! Dongdong! Dongdongdong!"
The fierce war drums beat at the fastest rhythm, deafening. Then, under the uneasy gaze of the chief, more than a hundred Mexican fanatical warriors shouted the name of the gods and ran towards the two damaged villages with the smoking "strange balls" in their arms. .
"Huh? This... this seems to be... the magical weapon of the Mexicans?!"
On the wall of the main village, Chief Kua Snake frowned and thought hard for a few breaths before his eyes suddenly widened. As these warriors approached, the pious and fearless shouts also reached the ears of the defenders, like the declaration of death.
"Fight for God, die for God! God's power is mighty, and God's thunder is coming!..."
