Chapter 486: South Road Eastward Expedition, the Flame of Shuigu City

The sky is bright and the earth is golden. The wind was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, mixed with the shouts of Mexican warriors.

"Prepare the fireball!"

"Yes! God bless you!"

"put!"

"Buzz!.Bang!"

More than a dozen burning fireballs rose "buzzingly" from the small trebuchet, like shining meteors! They crossed a distance of more than a hundred steps, made several loud "bang" noises, and bombarded the six to seven meter high south wall. Soon, more blazing flames ignited up and down the masonry walls, emitting pungent toxic smoke and scorching the blue stone walls to black!

A burning fireball accurately landed on the top of the city, bringing the flames of death! Several Tlaxcala warriors instantly let out shrill screams, turned into blazing fireballs, and fell from the high city wall.

"Ah!.Bang!"

"Prepare the fireball!"

A Mexican captain had an expressionless face and shouted orders coldly.

"Yes! God bless you!"

Dozens of Prepecha warriors were busy preparing flammable paper fireballs and then lighting them carefully.

"put!"

"Buzz!.Bang!"

More than a dozen fireballs filled with sulfur rose again and roared into the city. After a while, large amounts of poisonous smoke from burning sulfur spread behind the city, causing the enemy warriors preparing behind the wall to cough heart-breakingly.

"Cough cough. Cough cough! God of hunting, it's the damn demonic scent again! Cough cough!!"

"Quick! Quick! Let the militiamen dump the dirt and wet sand! Ahem!"

After five rounds of fireballs, the inside and outside of Nancheng were filled with flames and poisonous smoke. Behind the city wall, two hundred Tlaxcala warriors screamed nervously, urging nearly a thousand militiamen, working desperately back and forth. The militiamen, bare-chested and carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, kept beating the hastily excavated sand onto the inextinguishable flames. The poisonous smoke was still spreading, and from time to time someone would groan and fall to the ground silently. Then, countless bare feet stepped forward, letting the god of death go away with a load.

"Hold! Hold!! If the feuding Mexicans are allowed to enter the city, all the men and women in the city, high and low, will be sacrificed!"

At the head of the southern city, a dozen city-state nobles, with red eyes and blackened faces, looked like ghosts, roaring and commanding the defenders. Their determination to resist was as firm as a stone wall, leaving no room for doubt. Because, this time the enemies are the powerful Mexican Alliance who have been fighting each other for decades and love to sacrifice their noble species! If Shuigu City falls, the untouchables may be able to escape with their lives, but the nobles will definitely die!

"Miscuatl, the God of Hunting, is protecting us! Our Water Valley City is the ancient Atlixco (now Atlixco), a solid stone city that has not fallen for two hundred years! The city of Talsas, the mother river The outflow will continue to bring warriors and food to the alliance! Glory warriors, we are the gateway to the south of the alliance, protecting the rich hinterland of the alliance and guarding the holy city Cholula behind us. Today, you have to fight for it! God of Hunting, fight to the end for the four-state alliance of Tlaxcala, for the noble holy city, and for your wives and children to resist the evil spirits!”

A priest of the hunting god stood at the top of the city, vigorously waving the ceremonial short arrow in his hand. He preached loudly and fanatically, using the Nahua language branch that was exactly the same as the Mexica people, to inspire the morale of the warriors!

The priests wear long feather crowns and are dressed very similar to the Mexica priests. However, his robe was painted with the divine pattern of the God of Hunting, and a jade plate hung around his neck. On the jade plate, there is naturally an abstract carving of Miscuatl, which is the biological father of Quetzalcoatl in the legend of Tlaxcala, the sacred "Serpent in the Clouds"!

"For the God of Hunting! Ahem, resist the evil spirits! Ahem. Fight to the death!!"

Seven to eight hundred Tlaxcala warriors were holding weapons in their hands, covering their mouths and noses with their clothes, and guarding the city head tightly. They coughed violently and shouted with difficulty, but they did not dare to leave the city wall at all. Several thousands-man battalions of Mexicans were arrayed outside the southern city, ready to attack at any time.

"Very good! The enemy can no longer stand on the top of the city."

Black Wolf Toltec nodded slowly, with fighting spirit in his eyes. He holds the command flag, wears bronze armor, and carries a long bow on his back. He stands solemnly on the hill with the red and black legion flag erected behind him. At this moment, he looked up and saw gunpowder smoke lingering under the mountains, shouts echoing in the valleys, and flames burning in the city!

"Command the Artillery Battalion, Condor Cannon, fire!"

The herald rushed down the hill and came to the battlefield outside Shuigu City. Six one-meter-long Sun Condor cannons were ready, aiming at the southern city wall two hundred steps away. Around the Condor Cannon, in addition to the gunners operating the cannon, there were a full two hundred elite Mexica warriors holding shields to guard the precious Condor Cannon.

"Order: Condor Cannon, shoot!"

"Yes! God bless you!"

The gunners all lit the fuses, then covered their ears and squatted on both sides of the bronze cannon.

"shoot!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Six terrifying roars exploded in the valley one after another, like world-destroying thunder! Six two-pound stone bullets, with huge power, fiercely bombarded the tower.

"Pfft."

"Supreme God of Hunting, Miscuatl! Please use your divine power to defeat the evil in the West! Ugh!"

Large blood flowers bloomed instantly at the top of the city. Then, there were shrill screams that were not like human voices, and uncontrollable exclamations of fear!

The two stone bullets accurately hit the defenders, running over the bodies along the way and drawing out two tragic streams of blood mist. Several other stone bullets either hit the city tower and shattered the erected shields; or they hit the city wall in a concentrated manner, causing a slight shake. After a round of bombardment, at least a dozen of the hundreds of defenders in Nancheng were dead, while the rest were terrified!

"Very good! The Sun Eagle Cannon is truly a weapon given by God!"

Black Wolf nodded with satisfaction and held the flag in his hand tightly. He desperately wanted to swing it again, but had to wait for the bronze cannon to be loaded.

"It's a pity that the Condor Cannon is not easy to cast, and there are still too few! There are only six of them in the South Route Army. It takes half a moment to fire one round. Although there are many Rain God Tiger Crouching Cannons, they cannot be used to attack the city. Haha, break The cowardly Tlaxcala dog will only defend the city and no longer dares to fight with the army in the field! "

"Come again! Condor cannon, shoot!"

"Yes! God bless you!"

The so-called blessing of the Lord God is to ask for God's grace to allow the siege weapons with poor accuracy to hit.

"shoot!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The terrible thunder boomed across the valley again, even drowning out the desperate cries of the Tlaxcalans. An irresistible bombardment erupted from the golden beast's mouth! The warriors and militiamen at the top of the city trembled together, trembling and praying on the ground. Over the past few days, they have used many lives to verify that once this behemoth of death hits, it can destroy any obstacle!

"Ah! Ah! The Mexicans in the West! They fell into the abyss and colluded with the volcano monsters underground! Ugh! Hoho!"

An old corpse wearing a feather crown suddenly fell from the top of the city with an arrow on its throat. Within a few breaths, he hit the ground with a bang, blooming into a large pool of bright red. And even amid the terrifying echoes of thunder, a burst of exclamations of extreme fear erupted from the top of Shuigu City.

"Ah! Hiero Priest Elder!!"

"Um?!"

Seeing this wonderful shot, Black Wolf grasped the longbow behind his back, feeling itchy in his hand. The desire to fight was jumping in his heart, making him want to shout, scream, throw down his commanding banner, and go into battle himself to kill! It's a pity that His Highness is camped at the rear of the legion, only about ten miles away. And Black Wolf's royal flag stood on the hill behind, watching the entire legion and watching over him.

"Hey! This is the commander of the army."

Black Wolf took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then, he asked with great interest.

"Who shot that arrow just now?"

"Boss, it's your former personal guard, artillery battalion commander, Tupa!"

"Ah? It's this kid! Yes, his archery skills have improved again! He's better than that"

Black Wolf clapped his hands fiercely, paused, and smiled. Then, he looked solemn and shouted sternly.

"Prepare to attack the city! The Longbow Battalion and the Pioneer Battalion are in position! A quarter of an hour later, Tekos from the Thousand Pioneer Battalion descended, pushed the shield cart to cover, and transported the ladder to the city! The Thousand Longbow Warriors advanced to within sixty steps. Aim freely and shoot at the top of the city! After ten rounds of shooting, set up the ladder and let the dead soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion charge!"

Having said this, the black wolf paused for a moment, his face filled with wolf-like murderous intent, making it intimidating.

"Remember! Those who retreat from the vanguard will die, die, die! The warriors who climb the city first will be promoted to the third level of warriors and up to the military nobility! After breaking through the important town of Shuigu City, the entire army will wash the city for two days, and the vanguards will be rewarded!"
