Chapter 395 Black Wolf Kill
Howler monkeys screamed, vipers were disturbed, and distant wolf howls were heard in the wind. In the Hand Snake City in the southwest mountains, the noble chieftains were in panic.
Half a day ago, more than a thousand Tekos Dingzhuang who were transporting food to the north encountered the enemy thirty miles north of the city. Thousands of northern barbarians rushed out of the undulating mountains and forests and raided the marching tribal Dingzhuang. They dyed their hair red and let out creepy wolf howls to intimidate the conscripted tribesmen. They shot accurate feather arrows, killed the leader of the team, and created chaos and fear. They came from the flank, gathering more and more, and attacking the weak side. The Dingzhuang only resisted for a quarter of an hour, and the whole army collapsed!
More than 400 front teams were bitten by the barbarians, and some died or surrendered; more than 300 squadrons fled into the mountains and forests after the collapse, and were chased by people; only more than 200 rear teams fled quickly and hurried back to the city, bringing the bad news of the enemy attack.
"How could the northern barbarians appear here?!"
"They shouted that the great chief was defeated and killed, and tens of thousands of kingdom troops went south to attack"
"Absolutely impossible! The great chief has only been on the expedition for half a month, how could he be defeated so quickly? This is the roar of the howler monkey, a scary trick!"
".But the tribesmen are terrified. The great chief took away all the elite warriors, and the city is very empty!"
"Hurry up and send messengers to recruit the men from all tribes in the city!"
"Yes, yes! We must also send people to the surrounding villages to gather thousands of scattered tribes back to the city!"
"Fifty or sixty miles to the south, there are two thousand southern warriors gathering! They come from the villages along the saltwater lake, and there are hundreds of elites. We must send people there and recruit them quickly!"
"Yes! I'm going south now!"
"Ah! I'll go with you."
The center of the town is the chief's hall of the tribe, a wide open-top wooden house. The walls of the wooden house are filled with the heads of various beasts, as well as wear-resistant rough cotton blankets. The noble chiefs were gathered in the hall, discussing anxiously.
The northern barbarians appeared too suddenly, and the city of Shoushe was completely unprepared. Now, the villages outside the city have not been summoned, and there are less than two thousand men and seven thousand women and children in the small town. After discussing this, several flexible noble chiefs immediately prepared to leave the city and go south to the mountains to "request reinforcements" in person.
"It's too late! The barbarians are already outside the city!"
"What, so fast!!"
The noble chiefs looked at each other in surprise and disbelief. But soon, a low horn sounded in the north, followed by a neat wolf howl.
"Woo! Woo!"
"Awoo! Awoo!"
The black wolf Toltec walked out of the woods, looked at the small town in front of him, and howled happily. The boiling murderous intent stirred in his chest, making his excited hair stand up.
Behind the black wolf, the red monkey Ozomale was panting, and the stupid deer Masat excitedly waved his stone spear. Further back, six or seven hundred red-haired hunters wearing leather armor, carrying longbows and bronze arrows. More than two thousand Guakili warriors wearing cotton armor and carrying sharp bronze short spears continued to emerge from the mountain roads and woods. Many Guakili warriors' short spears were still pierced with heads that were still dripping with blood, which shocked the enemy.
The City of Hand Snake is located in the southwest mountains, 250 miles away from the city of Apachingan. The first half of the 100 miles is on the Apa Plain, and the second half of the 150 miles is along the mountain road along the river. Turn southwest at the Canhe Village (now Taixtán), and march along the Rio Ticuilucan (Rio Ticuilucan for short), and you can go all the way to the city of Hand Snake.
The more than 7,000 Guakili troops forcibly requisitioned a wave of food from the villages around the city of Apa, and then marched westward. The army traveled 70 miles along the Apa Plain in two days and made initial contact with the tribal scouts of Chief Chimali. Black Wolf took advantage of the mobility of the Canines and retreated slightly, not engaging the enemy's main force. He took all the red-haired hunters with him, leaving 4,000 Canine warriors to Red Frog Cocker Spaniel to continue to fight with the tribal coalition of Chimali.
Then, Black Wolf led the 4,000-man army and really began to accelerate! He went west for more than 20 miles and made a brief raid in Kanhe Village, defeating the 800 Tekos warriors who stayed behind, opening up the valley road to the Hand Snake City, and also cutting off the main food road of Chimali. In order to streamline the manpower and prevent Chimali from turning back quickly, Black Wolf left another thousand people here. These Canine warriors would not defend one place to death, but would form a small team to harass, entangle and delay the enemy's main force that turned back.
Then, 3,000 elite Canine warriors rushed quickly, along the Kan River that indicated the road and direction, traveled 150 miles in three days, defeated 1,000 Tekos strong men who encountered, and finally arrived at the Hand Snake Valley along the river!
This speed is extremely amazing! You know, this is in the mountainous area where the Tekos live, and the dog warriors can only run on their feet.
After three days of running, even the black wolf who is always good at running is very tired. But when he saw the defense on the top of the hand snake city, he laughed triumphantly.
"Haha! This is the ancestral land of the southwestern Tekos tribe, the gathering place of the shield tribe, the hand snake city in the hand snake valley? It's not even as good as the simple Pam City!"
The stupid deer Masat looked at the top of the city and couldn't help laughing.
"Ha! Such a short wall, the warriors just flipped over it! There are quite a few villages around here, and the tribesmen who are fleeing for their lives are in groups. It looks rich and can be robbed!"
The wall of the hand snake city is made of stone, but it is only about two or three meters, and it is simply surrounded in a circle. There are traces of construction in many places on the wall, and a large number of stones are piled around it, which is obviously still under construction.
The Tekos tribe in the southwest once built a solid mountain city in the Hand Snake Valley, but it was forcibly demolished by the kingdom during the rule of the Tarasco Kingdom. This Hand Snake City was built after the fall of the Tarasco Kingdom and the rise of Chimali, and it has been less than two years. With the manpower of the southwestern tribes, it is already quite diligent to be able to build to this level. If Chimali is given a few more years to operate, when the king's army comes to conquer again, it will be a different situation.
Red monkey Ozoma narrowed his eyes and looked at the defenders on the top of the city. The defenders on the top of the city are only six or seven hundred people, with simple equipment. Most of them are wearing cloth clothes and holding hunting bows, javelins and stone spears. Many noble chiefs are shouting hard on the city wall. In a moment, another one or two hundred people climbed onto the top of the city.
"Respected Black Wolf Legion Commander!"
Ozoma saluted respectfully and called him the legion commander. Lord Black Wolf likes this title the most.
"We came very quickly. The people in Shoushe City were obviously not prepared. Now is a good time to attack the city!"
"Okay! Red Monkey, you lead the hunters to close in and shoot! Dumb Deer, you get ready. After shooting a few rounds, lead the soldiers to climb over the wall and attack the city!"
Black Wolf smiled and nodded, his face solemn, full of murderous intent.
"It's still two hours before dark. Tonight, I will kill all the enemies and rest in the city!"
"Yes! Commander!"
The two immediately summoned the soldiers. In less than half a minute, the sound of "dong dong" drums followed.
More than 600 red-haired hunters held their longbows tightly and approached within 60 steps of the city. The hunting bows on the city were soft and powerless, and the hunters could shoot at will. As soon as they aimed, they fired a fierce rain of arrows.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
"Ah!"
The shrill screams came from the low city. Six or seven headmen wearing long feathers were directly fired by the hunters, hit by several arrows, and fell from the city. Dozens of guards were pierced by sharp arrows, wailing and falling to the ground, and the city wall was immediately in chaos.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Death came with the whistling sound, and took away the lives of the defenders easily like mowing the grass. The garrison on the top of the city was too hasty, and there were not enough shields prepared, so the guards were like dead leaves in the wind, splashing maple red.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
The dog hunters shot wantonly. Many brave red-haired hunters advanced directly within thirty steps and shot the enemy accurately. In just a quarter of an hour, the defenders on the top of the city were scattered and messy. Seventy or eighty brave warriors rushed out of the city, but were shot and killed by the elite hunters with bows and arrows and stabbed to death with short spears.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The black wolf looked for a moment and decisively waved the flag. The stupid deer Masat roared wildly and led thousands of tribal warriors to attack the walls on both sides. The tribal warriors approached the city wall, facing sparse arrows and slingstones, and threw out climbing copper hooks. Then, hundreds of people climbed up together, climbed over the low stone wall, and rushed into the city.
"Awoo!"
Under the attack of the warriors, the defenders on the top of the city barely resisted for a moment, and then burst into a chaotic shout. Hundreds of young men turned around and fled, and then they were defeated across the board.
"Awoo! Follow me to the enemy city!"
Black Wolf's eyes were red with excitement, and he pulled out the bronze sword at his waist. He finally couldn't help it and wanted to take his guards and personally kill into the city.
"Occupy the barn in the city! Control the four walls! Kill the chieftain! Kill the tribal priests! Kill the tribal warriors! Kill all the men taller than the short spear!"
"Awoo, kill! Destroy the 'Shield' tribe and raze the Hand Snake City! Kill, kill, kill!"
I really want votes at the end of the month! Vote, vote, vote! っっ
