Aztec Eternals - Chapter 574
“Dongdongdong!”
The deafening sound of war drums resounded in the wide northern mountain pass, which startled the flying birds in the sky. A large group of warriors running, like wolves in the wasteland, passed through the rolling hills and appeared at the foot of the mountain pass. And their wolf howls had already crossed the tribe’s wooden camp and echoed in the fields of Shenshui Valley.
“Ow!…”
It was September and the harvest was just around the corner, the beans were just ripe and the corn was on the cobs. The year’s rations are just around the corner, and the birds and people in the mountains are all waiting together. However, at this moment, the footsteps of the war came suddenly, stepping on the blood of the sunset, bringing the fire of the evening!
“Ah! The supreme rain god!…”
After the mountain pass camp, more than 10,000 Mistec tribesmen panicked and looked terrified. They have long heard of the fighting in the north, and the strength of the Mexicans, but they never thought that the battle would come to them so quickly.
“Drip!…Drip!…”
The snail horn of warning echoed in the narrow valley, which was an order of danger and assembly. The three thousand tribes Ding Zhuang, armed with short bows and stone spears, came from all over the Shenshui Valley.
Shenshui Valley is located fifty miles south of Shenshi City, and less than two hundred miles from Yunshan City further south. The entire valley area is not large, only seven or eight miles from east to west, and about ten miles from north to south. In the middle of the valley, there is a natural spring that waters the fertile soil of the valley, hence the name “atzingo”, which means “sacred water”, “respectable water”. And the tribes who settled here in the valley were naturally called the Shenshui Department.
Soon, the leader of the Shenshui tribe, “Yunshui” Achingo hurriedly climbed the wall and looked north.
A black bizarre wolf flag first caught his eye. The black coyote has a blood-colored tongue, red eyes, and crouches in the red sun, which is extra breathtaking. At this moment, this towering wolf flag is being held firmly behind the back of an exceptionally strong young warrior leader.
And around the wolf flag, there are three marching warrior formations. The military formation in the center has the least number of people, the formation is dense, and the equipment is the best. The warriors among them all hold bronze soldiers, wear dark green battle clothes, and even white gold battle armor. The other two are slightly larger, and they are arranged on the left and right wings. The left wing is a neat white battle suit, holding an obsidian battle stick. The right flank was the most numerous, with looser formations and disorganized weapons.
“This… is the Legion of the Mexicans! It is… the tyrannical black wolf chief!…”
Seeing the black wolf flag, Achingo froze in his heart, and even his voice trembled. He stared at the fast-moving enemy, gestured with his fingers, and counted in his mouth.
“One spring, two springs, three… five… ten! Ten spring warriors! There are…”
Counting to this point, Achingo Tong Kong shrank, his whole body became weak, and he couldn’t even hold the expensive copper spear in his hand. A “spring eye”, about 300 to 400 people. Three or four thousand Dingzhuang from the Shenshui Department stood together, exactly the size of nine to ten springs. And the Mexican Legion that appeared in front of him had at least four or five thousand people, which had already surpassed the sum of the tribes Ding Zhuang!
“O venerable Rain God! Please pour down rain and save your gods!…”
Achingo raised his head and prayed, despair in his heart. The Shenshui tribe occupies this closed and fertile valley, and the tribe has proliferated from generation to generation.
Today, the entire Shenshui tribe has a population of more than 10,000, and it is the most powerful tribe in the entire Tehuakan Valley! However, at this time, facing the front of the Mexica Legion, the so-called strength in the valley was like the threatening call of the bag frog in the rainforest, exposed to the mouth of the Mexican pit viper.
“Quick…too quick! The Mexicans went south in July, and it’s only the beginning of September, and they’re here! Damn it! Those cowardly warriors in the city of Shenshi are really…it’s really the rain **** using a woman’s urine made!”
Achingo was startled and angry, cursing in a low voice, anger mixed with regret. The fierce Mexicans invaded the south, defeated the warriors in the city of Shenshi, and captured the Temple in the Clouds… This news, he heard about it more than ten days ago, and he has been worried.
However, seeing the autumn harvest just around the corner, the tribe can’t bear the corn that is about to be harvested, nor the lush valley. In addition, it is fifty miles away from Shenshi City. The mountain road is steep, the location is hidden, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are three thousand strong people in the tribe, and they are not afraid of the harassment of a small group of enemies… He just saved a little luck, and did not throw away a lot of materials and migrate south in a hurry like many tribes.
“Andiwei, what kind of **** bless the big tribe, the Tewakan Shenshui Department?”
“Yes, respected General Black Wolf. This is the most powerful tribe in the south of the Tewakan Valley, the Shenshui tribe. The Shenshui tribe has more than 10,000 tribesmen, nearly 4,000 strong, firmly occupying this fertile land. Valley. According to legend, there is a divine spring in the center of the valley. It is the tears shed by the Rain God.
“Sacred Spring in the Mountains? Tears of the Rain God?”
The black wolf Toltek’s eyes flashed, thoughtful. When the valley is captured, you can take a piece of spring water and return it to the Highness and the Princess. Carrying a big flag on his back, he climbed the hills of the mountain pass, and he saw several simple wooden camps and a circle of fences that barely sealed the mountain pass, and he couldn’t help laughing.
“Red Monkey, look at the fences in this circle, it’s not as good as your wilderness!”
The red monkey Ozoma narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully for a moment. He looked at the rough fence, then at the tribal warrior stationed there, and let out a sneer.
“Heilang head, these tribes in the southern woods, although the number is large, the tribe is rich, but they don’t fight at all!”
“Look, their warriors are all huddled together, there is no division into teams, there is no division of bows and arrows to throw spears, and there is no order like a pack of wolves. Their expressions are some panic, some angry, but not fierce after killing. Yu Danmo. The weapons in their hands were too tight, and they shouted and cursed, wasting their physical strength in vain. Obviously, they had never experienced a large-scale battle… Such a large tribe would not survive if they were placed on the wasteland. Two autumns can feed five tribes!”
Speaking of this, the red monkey Ozoma grinned. The food here is full, but the real full. In the barren and hungry northern wasteland, only tribes as fierce as beasts can survive.
“Haha! Red Monkey, you said it well, you are very good at learning!”
Hearing this, the black wolf quite agrees. He has fought for many years, whether an army can fight, as long as he looks at it for a while, he has a rough idea. However, this is a long-term experience and intuition. If he really wants to talk about it, it is not clear.
“Toltek, you have a wolf-like fighting instinct. If one day, you can sum up this instinct and write it down into the text of inheritance, you will be the real handsome talent of the kingdom! And this is also the reason why I urge you to study! ”
Thinking of His Highness’s advice, the black wolf’s eyes flashed. He longed for a moment, and then sighed deeply. Writing is too difficult to learn, but it is easier to lead troops to fight.
“Boss, I, the red frog, don’t know these things, I will only take the lead in rushing to kill! Let me take five hundred warriors of the tribe, as a pioneer, to attack the camp for you!”
The red frog Keka widened his eyes and glared at the articulate red monkey. Then, he patted his chest hard, and with a “dang”, he pulled out the hatchet from his waist.
“Two quarters of an hour, if I can’t rush into this stockade, I’ll raise my head to see you!”
“Haha! Red Frog, it’s still your temperament, it suits my appetite!”
The black wolf laughed heartily, staring directly at the thousands of enemies in front of him as nothing. Then, he shook his head again, rejecting Red Frog’s request. At this moment, in the vast Tehuacan Valley, the Guaquili Legion is setting fire everywhere, scattered looting, and scavenging for food. The strength of each battalion is very limited.
This adventure went further south, and he only had more than 6,000 people in his hands. Among them, 2,000 were elite legionnaires, more than 1,000 were Tlaxcala descendants, and 3,000 stekerts were encircled along the way. Two days ago, among the two thousand warriors of the army, another thousand were divided to guard the army’s back path and guard against the surprise attack on the city of Shenshi.
“The terrain in the south is undulating and the mountain roads are difficult. Unlike the plateau in the north, which is unimpeded, it is suitable for rushing attacks. If the back road is cut off…the risk is a bit high, it is still necessary to separate troops and stay behind. Now the entire army can be suppressed by the elites of a thousand legions. Unbreakable!”
Thinking of this, the black wolf raised his hand and pointed to the walled wall occupying the ground.
“Attack the camp from the top, throwing stones at the arrows and spears, the casualties are inevitable. Such unnecessary casualties do not need to be borne by the legion warriors… Andiwei, you said, what kind of Shenshui Department is in the south, and the northern part of the valley. The various departments are not closely related?”
“Yes, respected general. The Shenshui Department occupies the Shenshui Valley and is separated from other parts. The leaders of the past dynasties controlled the Shenquan. The small tribe asks for tribute…”
Priest Andy bowed his head respectfully, detailing the relationship between the Tewakan tribes.
The power of the Mistec Alliance is decentralized and divided to this day. Not only are the highlands, lowlands, and coasts divided into three branches, but the interiors of each branch are also divided according to city-states. And within each city-state, there are many independent tribes, often not subordinate to each other. All in all, the Mistec ministries, although they are called the Alliance, are a mess of sand inside. Just relying on the common belief in the rain god, similar cloudification, and intermarriage with generations of gods, as the connecting link of the various ministries.
“…Therefore, let the eight hundred warriors from Shenshicheng who surrendered, and the captured two thousand Ding Zhuang from various tribes attack Shenshui tribe, there will be no obstacles in the way of people’s hearts! And once their hands are stained with blood, their hearts will be filled with blood. Faith will slowly disintegrate, releasing the black snake bound by the rain god… From now on, they will have nowhere to turn back, just like me.”
Andiwei lowered his head, respectfully, and his tone was the gentleness of a Mistec priest. However. What he said was like a pit viper in the rainforest, causing the red monkey Ozuoma’s eyelids to jump and his heart to shudder.
“Haha, very good! Andiwei, under the guidance of His Highness Divine Revelation, the glory of the Lord God will eventually cover the land of Zavi! And your choice today will make you proud in the future!”
The black wolf nodded in satisfaction. He took a deep look at the returning noble priest, like a coyote staring at the black snake. Then, the black wolf general stared sharply, pulled out the bronze sword, and pointed to the camp,
“Beat the drums, put up the flags, pass the military orders! Let the Mistec battalion on the left flank go to battle! … Tell the woodpecker Richie to capture the Kamsuibu, and give him all the treasures, Ding Zhuang and women. The battalion! And if it can’t be attacked, I want his bird’s head!”
