Chapter 388 Catching Snakes
"Woo!.Woo!"
The long trumpet call came from the north, echoing in the rebellious city of Kuramo. It was like the pronouncement of the supreme god, and like the cold wave in the far north, making Gulamo, the leader of the Lithospermum clan, instantly feel chilled all over his body.
"How could it be possible so fast?!"
Gulamo was trembling all over, in disbelief. From the beginning of Medina's assassination to now, only three days and four nights have passed!
He traveled south day and night, mobilized his warriors, and attacked Culamo's garrison without any delay. Later, he organized thousands of rebels and besieged the Mexica army for two days and two nights, exhausting the opponent's physical strength and arrows, and was about to win! Who would have guessed.
"It can only be the worst outcome for everything so quickly."
Gulamo murmured to himself, his heart instantly filled with despair.
The fact that the horns of the king's army appeared here at this time was the worst possible outcome: Medina's assassination of the king failed completely, and she failed to even create a little chaos. The king directly targeted the Zicao family and sent an urgent envoy to travel hundreds of miles in one day to urge the Gyeonggi Army to go south. Then, the Gyeonggi Army did not delay any further and did not attack the Crow Fiefdom. They traveled day and night, covering nearly a hundred miles in two days, and headed straight for Kuramo City!
Once such a result occurs, it means that this premeditated rebellion has completely failed. Facing the conquest of the kingdom's army, the Zicao family would not even have a chance to defend the city. The Glory family, which has been inherited for more than two hundred years, is about to be completely overturned in his hands and burned to ashes by the king's wrath!
Endless regrets welled up in his heart, and Gulamo stood there silently, his heart twisting like a knife. The fighting on the pyramid continued, but the rebels' attack was powerless. The surrounding Kuramo rebel leaders were a little uneasy. The king in the north was obviously dead, so why would there be an incoming royal army?
Soon, a scout came running from the north of the city and reported back in panic.
"Master, a large number of royal regiments appeared in the north of the city, numbering three to five thousand. Look at the flags, one is the hummingbird flag, and the other is the sky flag!"
Qincongcan means the place of hummingbirds, and the hummingbird flag should be the Qincongcan warrior camp. There is only one Sky Flag, and that is the Sky Warrior Camp.
"Haha! Gray Earth Puap, Sky Orta! You guys came so fast!"
Gulamo smiled sadly in his heart. These two people came so quickly, so of course they were not rebelling together and raising troops as agreed. On the contrary, they are here to silence them, and if they take action, they will only be more ruthless than the Mexicans. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said to the leaders of Kuramo on the left and right.
"Haha! The Prepecha warriors in the royal army have come to work together to revive the Kingdom of Tarasco as agreed! But when their army enters the city, they will definitely plunder and demand property. Curamo City is ours , you must not give them any. You continue to command the militia, besiege the Mexica warriors on the pyramid, and capture the enemy as soon as possible! I will go to the north city and negotiate with them while guarding the city wall!
The leaders in Kuramo City looked at each other and nodded doubtfully. At this point, everyone has reached a dead end and has no choice but to deceive themselves and others.
After appeasing everyone a little, Gulamo left the family flag behind and did not recall the Lithospermum warriors. He just took some twenty personal guards and the family flag and hurried to the north gate.
The fighting on the pyramid continued, but the intensity decreased rapidly. Veteran Etalik was surprised by the solid morale of the rebels. He stood at the top, watching the golden-armored leader go north and disappear for a moment in a mansion. Afterwards, the leader of the golden armor set out again, taking a dozen personal guards with him to the north gate, and personally directed the rebels to defend the royal army.
"Gulamo, are you so determined?"
Etalik raised his eyebrows. Afterwards, he pondered for a moment and suddenly clenched his fists.
"No, he wants to escape!"
Outside the north gate, Orta had arrived first with two thousand elite sky warriors. The dusty Qincongcan Warrior Battalion moved a little slower and was still several miles behind.
The city wall of Kuramo is about five meters high, and there are sparse rebel militiamen and soldiers standing on it, estimated to number between five and six hundred people. At this moment, the rebels looked at the tidy royal regiment outside the city with surprise and uncertainty.
Horta did not hesitate and immediately ordered the warriors to attack the city. Four hundred bow warriors wearing cotton armor approached directly under the city wall and shot deathly copper arrows at the rebels on the wall!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Sharp arrows shot upward, and the wailing sound from the top of the city suddenly resounded. Most of the Kuramo rebels were civilians. Not only did they lack protective shields and armor, they also lacked the combat experience to deal with shooting. However, after a few rounds of arrows came down, there were hundreds of casualties at the top of the city. Then, more than a thousand sky warriors spread out to both sides of the city wall. They looked for a place with few defenders, threw their hooks upward, and prepared to climb up.
Seeing that the North City defenders were about to collapse, a golden-armored leader led a dozen personal guards and more than two hundred militiamen recruited on the road and hurriedly climbed onto the city wall. He wore a half-covered mask and carried the small flag of the Zicao family behind his back. The guards shouted commands, asking the militiamen to set up shields for defense, and then throw prepared javelins, stones and ash bottles. After a brief battle, the sky warriors left dozens of corpses behind, ended the first wave of siege, and temporarily retreated.
Horta looked solemn and stared at the city head closely. He stared at the familiar figure and vague appearance of the golden-armored leader, and then glanced at the flag on the other side's family, like a hunter catching his prey, and smiled happily.
"Gulamo, it's you!"
Now that Gulamo is here, Horta is not in a hurry. There are not many warriors in the Sky Family, so it would be better to lose less. As for the Mexica warriors in Etalik in the city, they are naturally protected by the Lord God. He first asked the bow warriors to shoot slowly to consume the morale of the city. At the same time, he began to arrange manpower to make simple ladders.
Two quarters of an hour later, the ladder has not yet taken shape. Puap has arrived. Horta pointed at the golden-armored leader at the top of the city and sighed with emotion.
"Puap, we came just in time. I didn't expect Gulamo to have such courage to personally lead his troops and guard the city! Well, I don't know what is going on with General Etalik in the city. I hope the Lord God will bless me! Listen to the voice , there should still be fighting in the city. You see, the main god's flag is planted on the pyramid of the main temple, and it must still be holding on."
Puap glanced at the top of the city, looked at the mask and flag of the golden-armored leader, then looked at the position of the leader, and his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly clenched his fingers and cursed angrily.
"Orta, you idiot! That's not Gulamo! How stupid! How could I have a comrade like you!"
Then, regardless of the surprise on Alter's face, he directly ordered.
"The city is still resisting. The rebel forces are limited and it is impossible to defend the four walls! You leave a thousand people here, and then send five hundred people to the east city and west city to attack! I will send a thousand people to the south to blockade the south city and the lakeside! "
After Huitu Puap finished speaking, he didn't stop for a moment. He left directly with his bodyguard and hurried toward the southwest.
"Ah! Puap, where are you going now?"
Horta shouted hurriedly from behind.
"Damn it! I'm going to Gulamo's fiefdom, Zicao Manor! With the blessing of the Lord God, I hope it's not too late!"
The afternoon sun shone on Lake Atoyak, and desperate cries rang out in the city of Kuramo. The four thousand Prepecha warriors paused for a moment, then dispersed to block the entire rebellious city. They were like a big loose net, thrown out with all their strength to catch the cunning water snake in Lake Atoyak.
