Chapter 233: Breaking the City (Part 2)

The faint moonlight illuminated the streets, and the capital city was full of chills in the late night. The flickering torches became clearer and clearer, and a twenty-man Tarasco squad appeared at the end of the street.

"You guys wait here and get ready. Old man Qi, take a few people out with me to have a look."

Puap gritted his teeth and looked at Necali. The senior scout narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly.

Several people walked out of the big house holding spears. Puap stood and watched for a while, until a familiar figure appeared in front of him, then he licked his lips and walked forward to say hello.

"Yupir! How was the patrol tonight? Is there anything unusual?"

"Hey, Puap? It's so late, are you still awake?"

Under the bright torch, the leading warrior was young and wore leather armor similar to Puap's, with the family crest of a hummingbird also engraved on it. He recognized Puap's sad face, stepped forward carelessly, and slapped his old friend on the shoulder.

"Huitu, why do you look like someone is dead in your family? If you have anything unhappy, tell me and let me, brother, make me happy!"

Looking at Yupil approaching, Puap tightened the spear in his hand, his face was a little stiff, and he said with a forced smile.

"Ha, isn't this a siege by the Mexicans? I'm a little nervous and can't sleep at night."

"Yes, sir, the Mexicans are really terrible! Two weeks ago we went out to support the city and saw tens of thousands of people fighting with our own eyes. The dead people were like weeds burning in the wasteland. That formation can still wake me up when I fall asleep. ! I was chased by the Mexicans for two more days, and even my butt was bitten off by a leopard, and I almost couldn’t come back.”

At this time, the old militiaman patted his chest and added with fear.

Yupil glanced at the frightened expression of the old militiaman and curled his lips disdainfully, but he didn't suspect anything. He smiled at his old friend.

"Puap, you kid has always been fearless. How could you go out and now you're even afraid of darkness? Don't worry, looking at the situation outside the city, it's still early to attack the city."

Having said this, Yupil sniffed his nose twice.

".What does this smell like? Huh? Wine? You still have wine to drink?! Damn it, you are really the best kid. The chief takes really good care of you!"

"Yes, I had some drinks with a few brothers and watched the situation in the city. Not long ago, the chief personally summoned me and told me to be careful about the shameless nobles in the city."

"That's right! The chief told us family warriors like this. Only the old brothers can be relied upon! The noble area in the center is also the focus of night patrols. I just came from there."

".How are the nobles?"

"Humph, it's already here, and they are still partying all day long, with the lights brightly lit all night! On the surface, they are gathering to drink and recite poetry, but secretly they don't know what they are discussing! However, the chief is decisive and orders everyone to keep a close watch on them. , they can’t change the world!”

"Yes, yes, the chief is always wise. Upir, would you like to have a drink together?"

Faced with this suggestion, Upir sniffed his nose again and made a rumble in his throat, clearly moving.

"I'm on patrol at night and I have to walk a little further. Isn't this bad?"

"I've been watching here! No, look, it's in the room in front."

Puap reached out and pointed to the side, then raised his eyes and glanced at the patrol team. The few warriors in the front row all wore thin silver necklaces, with bone whistles hanging under the necklaces.

"The chief has rewarded me with fruit wine to appease the Barbarian of Tekos. This is a precious treasure of the royal family. If you don't drink it, it's for nothing, otherwise the barbarian will get everything!"

"Ah, the royal family's inventory! What qualifications do barbarians have to drink these! Well, I'll just have a taste."

Yupil rubbed his hands and followed Puap to the big house next to him. When he was approaching the door, he suddenly remembered something and shouted to the last few newcomers.

"You newcomers are waiting at the door! We will be doing night patrol later!"

The newcomers had no choice but to suppress their greed and obediently guard the door. Puap made a gesture to the old militiaman, and the other party held the spear and stayed outside the door with a few people.

As soon as he entered the house, Yupil was stunned. He glanced at the twenty or thirty warriors in the room and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, you can do it! You have so many elite warriors under your command?"

"Oh, this is. This is because the chief attaches great importance to the defense of Nancheng. The newly transferred warriors who were recently transferred to me heard that it was the defeat of the royal army. They should be punished for their merits."

Puap deliberately lowered his voice for the last few words. Then, he poured a bowl of wine with a smile and handed it to his old friend.

"Come on, don't think so much! Let's drink together!"

Upir's eyes paused for a moment on the copper ax on Nekali's waist, and nodded slowly. His expression was a little complicated. He took the drink and drank it in one gulp.

"The king's royal guard, it smells so good! It's been a long time since I drank such good wine. Come on, give me more! Brothers, drink some!"

The patrol members then placed their spears by the door, gathered around the big clay pot, and started drinking impatiently.

Puap looked at his friend who he had known since childhood, pondered for a moment, and then spoke with deep meaning.

"Yupir, my old friend! To tell you the truth, when I went out of the city this time, brother, I really narrowly escaped death and almost broke my leg!"

Hearing this, Yupil was startled, but still smiled and joked.

"Escape from a narrow escape? Broken leg? Oh! Two days ago, we went to the logistics camp together. You were very drunk, shouting something like "It's over, it's over," and you insisted on finding a few free-spending city girls to be happy. .Turns out I’m just drooling just looking at it!”

Hearing this, Necali's eyes turned cold. Puap was speechless. The chief suppressed the entire city, confiscated several noble families, and sent their families to the logistics camp. The warriors forcibly confiscated the surplus grain, and civilians in the city began to lack food, and there were not a few people who sold their sons and daughters. He just liked this, and he was particularly nervous when he was about to do something important, so he couldn't help but go there once.

".Shit! I am very powerful. Yupil, our families have known each other for generations, and we have known each other since we were young. To be honest, I sometimes really feel that this kingdom is going to..."

Puap sighed heavily. He raised his eyes to look into his old friend's eyes, paying attention to the change in his expression.

"The two countries are at war and the mountain is about to collapse today. Yupil, we are just ordinary warriors, what can we do?"

Hearing this, Yupil didn't speak for a while. He poured a full bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp. Then he wiped the remaining wine from his mouth and sighed.

"What can we do? Since we are warriors as gorgeous as flowers, there will always be a moment when the flowers wither! Today, drink wine and hold on to the weapons in your hands; tomorrow, blood will flow on the earth, and you will fall to the underworld with a smile. Pua Pu, our ancestors fought and died for the chief’s father and ancestors, so let’s die for the chief! Come on, come on, have a few more drinks!”

Hearing this, Puap lowered his head to hide the changing expression on his face. His father's smile reappeared in his mind. He shook his head vigorously, forgot about the dead person, poured another bowl of wine and drank it all.

On the other side, after hearing Yupil's words, Nekali also looked moved. He looked at the patrol captain's expression and slowly grasped the copper ax in his right hand.

Outside the big house, several newcomers stared at the house, swallowed hard, and their hearts were full of envy. There was a lack of warriors in the city, and most of them were recruited from the militia. The only Tarasco warrior among them shook his head. He pursed his lips and forced himself to look away, looking at the street in the distance. After a moment, a trace of doubt gradually appeared on the warrior's face.

"There seems to be some noise?"

Warrior Tarasco took a step forward, followed the faint sound of wind, and looked towards the southern city gate. It was dark tonight, and there was no firelight at the city gate. Through the faint moonlight, he seemed to see some shaking shadows.

"Hey, what is that?"

Warrior Tarasco's eyes widened in alarm, and then without hesitation, he turned around and walked back into the house.

"Captain! City gate uh, ah!"

Half of the spear tip suddenly emerged from the Tarasco warrior's belly, and the opponent let out a shrill scream, and then fell softly to the right. Behind him, the old militiaman looked coldly and stirred hard with his hands. The spear was pulled out of the warrior's body with a pop, and blood spurted out!

"Do it!"

Necali suddenly jumped up from the ground, slashed the throat of the nearest patrol member with an axe, and shouted in a low voice.

"Leave no one behind!"

More than twenty Mexican warriors in the room drew their axes at the same time. The pottery bowl fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound; the fruit wine spilled, exuding a charming aroma. Then the copper ax chopped, and each figure struggled to the ground. There was no time to blow the bone whistle, leaving only the bright red flowing freely.

"You you. Puap!"

Yupil's eyes turned red instantly. He waved the dagger he carried with him in his right hand and roared angrily.

"Puapu! What are you doing!"

The gray warrior looked ashamed. He pulled out the battle stick from his waist and kept blocking in front of him, but he still didn't attack.

"Yupir, my brother. The king is dead, the country is dead, and the Mexica people have entered the city! Come with me and join the great alliance! I guarantee the safety of your family."

"Mexican?! Go to hell!"

Like a mad tiger, Yupil rushed forward and stabbed out the dagger in his hand.

"The chief treats you like this! The family has been loyal for generations! You actually lured the Mexicans into the city!!"

"Yupir, listen to me! As long as you surrender, we can save the chief."

"Death!. Uh. Ah!"

Yupil sacrificed his life to attack, while Puap defended desperately. At this moment, a sharp copper ax struck from behind mercilessly, accurately hitting Upir's neck.

"Hi!" Warm blood splashed all over Puap's head and face. He stood there blankly, reaching out to touch forward. The old friend in front of him fell sideways and fell into the wine vat. But in an instant, the clear wine was dyed red, and the aroma of the fruit wine became more intense.

"Yupir"

Necali lowered the copper ax in his right hand, and bright red slowly flowed from the ax blade. He glanced at Puap coldly and continued to swing his tomahawk to kill.

It was a one-sided massacre. In less than half a quarter of an hour, all the patrol members were hacked to death, and no one sounded any warning whistle. The old militiaman and several brothers dragged the bodies outside the door into the house and piled them in the corner of the house. Then, he approached the wine vat and was about to pull Yupil's body, but Puap pushed him away.

"Um!?"

Necali put down the bright red cotton cloth that he wiped with his hands and held the shiny copper ax again. He looked at Puap with murderous intent in his eyes.

"It's okay, captain, don't worry. He was a little stupid, but he won't make any mistakes!"

The old militiaman quickly smiled and waved his hand. Then, he grabbed Puap and persuaded him in a low voice.

"Master, the man is dead. This is the path he wanted to take. There is no regrets. We have the path we want to take. If you really feel sorry for yourself, just take good care of his family. Captain Mexica kills without blinking an eye! Do it all. You’ve learned so much, but don’t fall here.”

Puap shuddered all over, and then he forced a smile. He turned and leaned against the corner, lowered his head, and said nothing. Nekali then released his right hand and continued to wait patiently.

Time is like flowing wine, dyeing the ground red, smearing the wine fragrance in the heart, making everything irreversible. Two or three quarters of an hour passed quickly, and there were no more accidents. Dozens of Mexican warriors worked desperately and finally dug open the blocked South Gate. Low creaking sounds echoed in the night sky, accompanied by suppressed cheers inside and outside the city gate. The South Gate of Qin Congcan finally opened at this time!

The city gate was wide open, defenseless. At this moment, the solid Qin Congcan City was like a tortoise egg with a hard shell, revealing delicious egg whites, without any obstacles! Hundreds of Mexican warriors gathered outside the city rushed in in an instant and completely controlled the South Gate. Then, dozens of Mexican scouts climbed the city gate, lit bright torches, and waved them to the camp in the south!

In the night outside the camp, Xiu Luote had been sitting cross-legged for a long time. Seeing the signal at the city gate, he finally stood up and waved the scepter in his hand excitedly.

"Good! The south gate has been captured! Qin Congcan has broken the city! Generals, listen to my orders!"

The young marshal was excited. He looked around at the generals waiting for orders, looked at the thousands of silent warriors, and shouted loudly.

"Black Wolf Toltec!"

"Here!"

"Lead a thousand vanguards and raid the palace directly! Go, capture the chief of Tarasco for me! Don't give Qin Congcan any chance to organize!"

"Yes! Look at how powerful I am, Toltec!"

The black wolf patted his chest excitedly. He strode out and was the first to lead his troops away.

"Teacher Olosh!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"I'll give you 4,000 warriors to raid the Tekos camp in the city as soon as possible! I'll give you the power to make your own decisions! You can kill them or surrender them, but don't let these barbarians wreak havoc in the city!"

"I'll obey your orders!"

The sturdy Jaguar warrior bowed his head and saluted. He lit up four thousand-man camps and disappeared into the night.

"Marshal Iskari!"

"Your Highness."

"Please lead 5,000 troops to raid the other three militia camps and completely block the capital!"

"Leave it to me, Your Highness!"

Iskari nodded. Five thousand warriors surged north, holding shields and sticks.

"General Etalik! I'll give you two thousand warriors. First control the artisan camp in the city, and then control the capital's treasury!"

"Monkey Kuluka! Five thousand militiamen, block the roads in the city, prevent the enemy from gathering, and control the order in the city!"

"General Natali! Two thousand warriors, eliminate the nobles in the city, eliminate the temple priests, and show no mercy!"

"The Lord God blesses us, and glory is coming! The glory of destroying the kingdom, conquering the capital, and ending the Western Expedition is in our hands now!!"

The young king looked up, looked at the lightless night, and laughed triumphantly. The heroic voice drifted far away, flying straight to the end of the sky. Under the dark night, there were countless star-shaped torches, illuminating tens of thousands of Mexica warriors. The warriors marched in a clanging manner, and at the end was a majestic and towering pyramid wonder, and the Tarasco capital that was about to fall!
