Chapter 515: Sunset in the Mountaintop City

"Hey, is there a sacrifice going on in the Mountaintop City?"

The sun rose to its highest point, casting a fierce light. Black Wolf Toltec, wearing bronze armor and holding a longbow, stood on a small hillside, looking at the Mountaintop City hundreds of meters away.

The Mountaintop City is not large in area. There are small hills hundreds of meters to the west and south, which occupies some geographical advantages. And a few miles to the east is a small river, and there are large tracts of cultivated farmland along the river, which can be regarded as a fertile land. The Mountaintop City itself has a circle of earth and stone walls five or six meters high, and a circle of sparse fences on the outside. Although the walls are a bit low and the fences are very simple, they form a rough and complete defense to protect the defenders in the city. And if the defenders are sufficient and have the ability to attack, such a complete city will never be captured in one or two days.

However, at this moment, there are only hundreds of Tlaxcala warriors and two or three thousand panicked militiamen on the north wall of the Mountaintop City. Most of the warriors of Tepeyacak State were buried in the Water Valley City. Only one or two thousand warriors and five or six thousand urgently mobilized young militiamen remained in the city on the top of the mountain.

Most of the defenders on the top of the city were holding hunting bows, javelins and slingstones, and they shouted from time to time, trying to intimidate the Mexica Legion outside the city. However, the number of warriors was too small, which exposed the emptiness of the city. Behind the city wall was the towering central pyramid. Dozens of priests of the hunting god were lighting the holy fire, dancing and singing crazily, and offering human sacrifices from nowhere.

Black Wolf looked at it and saw dark city walls, white cloth armor, yellow flames, and red bloodstains, just like a picture of flowers blooming in spring.

"Tsk tsk, it looks like a real one! But, what's the use of sacrificing at this time?"

Black Wolf grinned, revealing his sharp teeth. Then, he waved his hand excitedly and swung his longbow, his fighting spirit burning like fire.

"Haha, it's rare that His Highness is not here! Is this Mountaintop City a soft persimmon or a hard stone? Let me try it myself!"

"Okay! Chief, all the red-haired people in the legion will go with you! When this city is broken, the warriors will be so happy!"

"Well. Pass the order down, let the warriors fight bravely! Break the Mountaintop City, plunder for two days, and leave no nobles alive!"

"Awoo! Chief Black Wolf, good chief! Kill, kill, kill!"

Soon, the undulating wolf howls sounded under the Mountaintop City, with undisguised murderous intent. Then, tens of thousands of Mexican troops came like a tide, and in just two or three quarters of an hour, they formed several large and small military formations. And a black wolf flag was directly planted in the field outside the north city, only two or three hundred meters away from the top of the city!

"Dong, dong, dong!"

The low drums sounded, issuing the order to attack. The defenders on the top of the city were terrified, watching the elite legion attacking in an orderly manner.

Leading the way were two thousand Tlaxcala surrendered soldiers, wearing the same clothes as those on the city walls, holding simple wooden shields and ordinary short spears. They carried dozens of ladders, and under the urging of hundreds of Mexica warriors, they broke through the wooden fences in two moves and quickly approached the city walls.

Behind the surrendered soldiers were more than six hundred armored red-haired hunters, who marched almost at the same time as the surrendered soldiers who charged into the battle formation.

These elite sharpshooters each held a longbow, wore bronze armor, and wore bronze helmets, and did not look like barbarians in the wilderness at all. The equipment they wore was much more sophisticated than that of ordinary Mexica warriors. These were all what Black Wolf shamelessly asked for from His Highness!

Black Wolf was in high spirits, standing in the center of the red-haired hunters. He personally led the armored guards to attack the northern wall, and handed the western wall to the red monkey Ozoma and the eastern wall to the red frog Coca, while supporting the attack.

"Hehe, this is called, that, surround three and let one go!"

"Yes! It's the same when hunting bison in the wilderness, surround three and drive towards one!"

The personal guard Miwa smiled foolishly, and changed into bronze clothes, looking both silly and tough.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

The drums of war gradually became faster, and the surrendered soldiers of Tlaxcala approached the top of the city, and in a blink of an eye they were within a hundred steps. The nobles commanding on the city shouted, and the defenders desperately threw and shot arrows at the city, not caring who the surrendered soldiers were. In fact, most of the city-states only cared about themselves, and would not be soft on the warriors of the same tribe in other city-states!

"Ah!"

The surrendered soldiers were only wearing thin paper armor. After a few rounds of shooting, they were all dead, and two or three hundred people were killed. They howled randomly, shouted wildly, and braved the continuous rain of arrows, desperately putting the ladder on the top of the city.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

A round of sharp feather arrows rose from the red-haired army outside the north city and fell on the low city. This wave of feather arrows was surprisingly accurate, directly killing a dozen warriors guarding the city, and even more militiamen!

"Charge! Kill!"

Black Wolf stood within sixty steps of the city wall, facing the arrows of the defenders. He raised his hand and shot an arrow to death a warrior guarding the city. Then, he shouted loudly, urging the surrendered soldiers in front.

"Kill! First ascend to the immortals, take them into the legion, become regular soldiers, and then promote to the third-level warriors!!"

If you can become a regular soldier, you will leave the surrendered camp where you are in danger of losing your life every day and become a member of the kingdom's warriors. And if you are promoted to the third-level warrior, you can be granted land and slaves, and become a master from then on!

"Kill!"

The captured surrendered soldiers shouted frantically and climbed to the top of the city. From time to time, someone was hit by stones and spears falling from the top of the city, screaming and falling to the ground. But the walls of the city on the top of the mountain were relatively low, and many of the surrendered soldiers fell down, but they were not killed, and they just kept wailing.

"Kill!"

A large group of surrendered soldiers climbed to the top of the city, wielding short spears as hard as they could, and fought with the militiamen who were also poorly equipped. Arrows kept coming from the military formation under the city, killing both sides of the fight at the same time. The number of warriors in the garrison decreased rapidly, and the morale of the militiamen also dropped rapidly. After only two quarters of an hour, the enemy on the north wall showed signs of collapse.

"Okay! Good! Enjoy it!"

Black Wolf laughed heartily. In the past two quarters of an hour, he had shot to death more than a dozen warriors one after another, and was hit by several arrows. However, these feather arrows are soft and soft, and they are all inserted into the cloth-covered bronze armor, just like feather hangings. The black wolf neither evaded nor pulled out the arrow, but just stared at the city head. It wasn't until the enemy at the top of the city showed signs of defeat that he shouted loudly and ran towards the city wall.

"Red-haired guards, all follow me, come in and shoot! Put your arrows in their faces and shoot!"

"Put it in the face and shoot them!"

Leaders lead the way and are the most inspiring. The red-haired hunters shouted together, and their fighting spirit boiled instantly. They quickly ran to the city, directly pointed it at the face of the defender at the top of the city, and shot a fierce arrow!

"Whoosh!"

Miwa squinted his eyes, aimed for a long time, and suddenly shot a copper arrow. A shrill sound broke through the air instantly, but with just one breath, it hit the Tlaxcala noble wearing a feather crown on the top of the city more than ten steps away. The sharp copper arrow accurately shot into the neck, cutting through the trachea and blood vessels, and the arrow emerged from the other side!

"Ho ho! Uh."

The noble at the top of the city opened his mouth, but no sound came out, only a large glob of blood gushing out. Then, after a painful pause, he suddenly fell down and died on the spot.

"Ah! The noble snake-born noble!"

In an instant, the warriors at the top of the city were in panic. Some pounced on the corpse, some retreated backwards, and some howled randomly and were at a loss what to do.

"Okay! Okay! This is the moment! It's time to break the city! Break the mountain city, and the rich women will be ours!"

Seeing the chaos at the top of the city, Black Wolf was overjoyed. He keenly grasped the fighting opportunity, threw away the long bow, pulled out the copper ax from his waist, and climbed up like a fighting city.

"Ouch! Charge!"

"Ouch! Charge!"

The leader of the black wolf promised that it was a matter of course, and he had never failed to make a promise. The red-haired hunters let out boiling wolf howls, pulled out their copper axes one after another, and climbed towards the top of the city. They were like a red torrent, flowing into the city and overwhelming the last resistance!

Within a quarter of an hour, the defenders of Beicheng wailed wildly and suddenly collapsed. Large groups of militiamen dropped their weapons and knelt in surrender. More people panicked and fled to the rear. Seeing the terrible scene of the city's destruction, the Tlaxcala priests in the temple cried out in despair. Then, they turned back and ran towards the temple of the God of Hunting.

"Whoo! Whoa!"

After a while, blazing flames ignited from the temple. It burned the wooden walls, scorched the ancient murals, burned away the feather ornaments, and burned the gold and silver sculptures. After that, there was a pungent smell, accompanied by inhuman shouts.

"O God of Hunting!.Ah!"

"Huh?.These priests are quite fierce!"

The black wolf stood upright at the top of the city, wearing red armor and hanging a bloody battle axe. He looked at the burning temple and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha! I know this word! The burning temple is the conquest in the graphic text!"

"Yes! It's the same in the wilderness. Burning the hostile tribes with fire is called conquest. Conquer!"

Miwa smiled naively, his whole body covered in blood. He looked at the large number of surrendered militiamen in the city, and then at the gorgeous houses in the center of the city, and asked expectantly.

"Boss, do you want to do something happy next?"

"Huh? What a rush!"

Hearing this, Hei Lang raised his brows, smiled, stretched out his hand, and knocked Miwa hard on the head.

"Happy things? Follow me, Black Wolf, and conquer the world. Are you afraid that there will be no happy things?"

"Ah? From Hengtianxia?"

Miwa scratched his head, not quite understanding the meaning of the word. But it doesn't matter, only the Black Wolf leader, who has learned some lessons from the great chief, can speak some difficult words. As long as warriors can run and kill, that's all. Why learn so much!

"Boss, what are we going to do?"

"Let's get down to business."

Black Wolf looked solemn, stood on the top of the high city, and shouted to the guards on both sides.

"Send out five hundred people and block the south gate for me! Send two hundred people to control the warehouses in the city! Then tell the stubborn Tlaxcala warriors and militiamen to put down their weapons and surrender without killing!"

Well, surrender without killing, just become a slave. Black Wolf added with a sneer in his heart. Then, he looked to the west where the legions were coming and gave his final order.

"Miwa, you are the best runner! Go and take a few people to meet His Highness outside Shuigu City. Just tell me."

"Boss, what are you talking about?"

"Haha! I, the black wolf Toltec, captured the mountain city in just one day!"

"okay!"

Miwa stood at the top of the city. In front of everyone, he took off his bronze armor and threw away his bronze helmet. Then, he jumped up, easily rolled to the bottom of the city, and ran towards the west without stopping! In front of him was the gorgeous flaming sunset, and behind him was the burning temple!
