Aztec Eternals

The sky at dusk is stained with red clouds, and the earth is soaked in blood at dusk. The short and fierce battle lasted for two to three quarters of an hour, and finally in the empty and flat outskirts of Jinwan City, the death was declared to be over with cascading corpses.

"Lord God bless! This group of Totonac coalition forces are ignorant and fearless. They rushed forward and bit like wild dogs, and even forced me to retreat to lure the enemy! The Totonac people are more daring than I thought. !"

With a cold expression on his face, Hei Lang pulled out the red-stained bronze sword from the corpse of the strong warrior under his feet. The gushing bright red splashed out from his broken heart in an instant, splashing all over his body. Drops of warmth slipped from his leather armor and gathered under his feet, outlining the damaged armor and the punctured inner lining.

Obviously, in the hasty fight just now, even the brave black wolf was not unscathed.

"Not bad! Not afraid of death! He is a warrior worth remembering!"

The black wolf lowered his head, staring at the Totonak warrior who had personally killed him. On the head of the warrior was a strange long wooden helmet, which looked like a piece of bent bamboo. The upper body of the warrior is wearing a sleeveless cotton armor, with blue patterns like water and snakes painted on it, representing his prominent status. In the warrior's hand, he held a refined copper spear more than one meter long, with a sharp red spearhead.

"Wooden helmets, short cotton armor, copper weapons."

Hei Lang's eyes sized up the Totonac warrior's equipment for a while, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he bent down again, lowered the bronze sword in his hand, pointed it at the neck of the corpse, paused for a moment, and then let out a sharp shout.

"cut!"

"Witness of the Lord God! As the first Totonac warrior who chased me and was recognized by me, I will give you the glory of a warrior and collect your head!"

The bright red turns to dark red, forming small moors in the grassland, and seeping into the soil, giving back to the earth with vitality. As the victors of the battle, the Guajili warriors of the brigade were cleaning up the traces of the battlefield, executing the seriously injured enemies, and torturing the slightly injured prisoners of war.

This battlefield outside the city was more than two miles away from the city wall of Jinwan City. Layers of corpses fell on the 200-meter-wide battlefield, roughly forming a semicircle. Obviously, the aggressive Totonac army had just been attacked from three sides and was almost surrounded. From the battlefield back to the Jinwan city, corpses stretched all the way. Most of the corpses were facing the city wall with their heads facing up, and their backs were facing upwards. They were wearing Totonac short battle clothes, and there was no trace of resistance. It was a unilateral massacre during the escape.

At this moment, the defenders at the top of the city shouted and scolded, their eyes tearing open. They watched as the red-haired hunters happily cut off the heads of Totonac warriors, but no army came out of the city to fight. Under the cover of the bows and arrows of the hunters at the head of the city, the hundreds of disbanded warriors from the Jihu City Department directly circled the city and fled to the camp behind Jinwan City, leaving only their backs in a hurry.

When the darkness slowly fell, the black wolf was already sitting cross-legged in front of the bonfire in the camp. He was not in a hurry, and while baking tortillas, he listened to the latest information obtained after interrogating the prisoners of war.

"Huh? In this battle, we killed 60 warriors from the headquarters and captured more than 500 Totonac warriors?"

Hei Lang frowned, and his face was also ugly. Even if 600 Totonak troops were killed, his brows would not frown. But now, the ones who died in battle were sixty warriors from the headquarters, including more than a dozen loyal and brave personal guards, which made his heart ache.

"Yes, Great Chief! This battle came very suddenly. The warriors in charge of the scouts were all wearing light leather armor. The Totonaks rushed out and chased us for two miles, and then started a scuffle. Dear The warriors of the guards don't have time to change into bronze armor, and they don't have time to shoot arrows, so that's it."

The personal guard Uta lowered his head, carefully reporting the casualties. He glanced at the gloomy face of the chief of the black wolf, and hurriedly spoke again.

"Of course, after the reinforcements from two sides came up, the Totonac people were attacked from three sides, and soon they couldn't hold on, and turned around and fled. In the end, more than 1,000 soldiers from the Hucheng Ministry sacrificed, more than 300 were killed, and 200 were captured. Half of them escaped! Most of their casualties occurred during the pursuit."

"Huh? Jihu City Department?"

"Yes! The Lord God has witnessed that the thousand-odd Totonac troops are all warriors from the Jihu City Department! The brave chief of the black wolf, Olo, the chief of the Jihu City Department, was just killed by you on the city wall. The noble chief who was shot to death with an arrow! And the Totonak warrior who fought with you to the death is the warrior chief of Jihu City, called Oyomina."

"That's right! The chief of Jihu City was shot to death by my arrow. No wonder the Totonak warriors who left the city chased me like mad dogs. Well, after the chief died in battle, other tribes in the city could not restrain Jihu City at all. It seems that the so-called Totonac coalition forces are actually fighting on their own, and there is no one leader who really controls the various ministries!"

Hei Lang rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and then came back to his senses.

"By the way, Uta, I've never heard of this lake-sacrificing city. Where is it? Lake-sacrificing city sounds like a city-state near a lake, and the number of people is estimated to be quite large."

"Uh! Boss, Jihu City is on the east side of the big river. As for how far it is, I'll go over and ask!"

The moon rises, the wolves lie down, the moon sets, and the camp is noisy again. Hei Lang put on the bronze armor and helmet, and stared at Jinwan City several miles away. He clenched the bronze sword at his waist, and whispered silently, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

The legion was repaired overnight, and more detailed information also gathered from all directions. Jihu City is located in the east of Jinwan City, more than three hundred miles away. Going two hundred miles further east from Jihu City, you will find the hidden snake city, the remote oriental holy land of Totonac tribes.

The reason why Chief Olo of the Jihu City Department personally led the troops to support Jinwan City on the west bank of the river was to respond to the call of the Priests and Elders of Yinsnake City. These respected elders of the Eastern Holy Land have been sitting back and watching the Mexica invade eastward. It was not until the ancient city of Feathered Serpent in the Western Holy Land fell that they completely let go of their hands and feet and fully mobilized the Eastern Totonac tribes.

"Hidden Snake City dispatched two thousand warriors, led by the great chief Kwachakwale, who is the nominal leader of the Eastern Totonak coalition. Then, from west to east, Jihu City, Rabbit Hill City, Coyote City, and Cone House City , each of the four large city-state tribes produced more than a thousand warriors!"

Counting this, Black Wolf Toltek frowned. Excluding the casualties of Jihu City, there are at least six or seven thousand tribal warriors in the Eastern Allied Forces, all of whom have reached the west bank of the adobe river. As for the militiamen recruited by the various ministries, the number cannot be counted, but it is estimated to be at least 10,000.

These militiamen are mainly from a hundred miles away, the nearest Coyote City Department and Cone House City Department, responsible for food transportation on both sides of the river. At this moment, more reinforcements from small tribes are coming one after another, crossing the west of the river from the lower reaches of the big river, to support the battlefield around Jinwan City.

"And the local Western Totonac Allied Forces, led by Qiqini, the chief of the Jinwan tribes, mobilized 3,000 tribal warriors and seven to eight thousand militiamen. There are more than 2,000 warriors from the River City Department and Hatori City Department. There are five to six thousand warriors in total, and more than 7,000 militiamen!"

In the local Totonac dialect, Chichini means "big sun". Chief Qiqini can also be called Chief Dari. As for the name "Qiqini", as soon as Heilang heard it, he remembered the chief of Guakili, "Qiqika" he met during the Northern Expedition.

"The tribes of Totonak still retain a lot of the color of the wilderness. But their combat effectiveness should not be comparable to the tenacious wilderness dogs."

Hei Lang's thoughts drifted away, thinking of the bitter battle at the mouth of the red fox, that was the first time he fell to the ground injured. It was also after that battle that he gradually grew from a brave general who ascended first to the commander-in-chief of the army.

"After that battle, Your Highness taught me: 'A weapon that is too sharp will break easily; corn that is too tall will not produce much fruit. The same is true when using soldiers. You need to have both toughness and gentleness. You must pay attention to timing and situation in battle. Too much haste'."

"In the current situation, the Eastern and Western Totonac coalition forces are united to occupy the top of the city for defense. Around Jinwan City, the city with a radius of tens of miles has gathered more than 11,000 warriors at this moment, at least 10,000 Eight thousand militiamen! Taken together, there is a tribal army of 30,000 people! And behind these 30,000 people, there are a steady stream of reinforcements on the way!"

Hei Lang closed his eyes intently and fell into long-term thinking. A blurry map of the entire Golden Bay land emerged from his mind. Although the east side of the map is not yet clear, the situation of the entire battlefield has roughly taken shape in his mind.

At this very moment, in this area with a radius of fifty miles, tens of thousands of armies from both sides have confronted, contacted, and fought each other. And this war against the Totonac rebels, unknowingly, has also gradually expanded, and developed into a war against the Totonac Alliance by the Kingdom of the Lake, a war of annihilation.

"Huh! The decisive battle of 50,000 to 60,000 people is just around the corner, and the Lord God blesses you! I have to think about timing and situation, advantages and disadvantages, offensive and defensive, and how to achieve the final victory!"
