Chapter 786 In Jinwan City, Two Coalition Chiefs
The king's banner of Heilang, the god of death, came from afar, standing in the camp of Snake Lake Village, it was a bit higher than the handsome banner of the leader of Heilang. The cheers in the camp resounded through the sky, and even the defenders of the Totonacs in the military camp more than ten miles away could clearly hear it!
"Praise the Lord God! Praise Your Highness!"
After receiving the report from the scouts, the chief of the Jinwan tribes, "Big Sun" Qiqini hurriedly climbed to the top of the Jinwan city to look at the alliance camp in the northwest. From a long distance, he couldn't see the alliance camp and what the scouts called the "king's flag". However, he could see the nearest alliance camp a few miles away, and he could hear the cheers from the heart of thousands of kingdom warriors in the camp.
"The Lord God bless us! Your Highness, Your Highness is here, this battle must be won!"
Great Sun Chief Qiqini listened for a moment, his face became serious. The heirs of the Mexica Alliance came here in person, representing the will of a powerful alliance! And this also means that the alliance mediation he has been looking forward to has become impossible.
"The Crown Prince of Mexica has personally conquered here. If there is not enough gains, it is impossible to return! The offensive of the Mexica will probably start soon, and it will be more fierce than before. And the Mexica can start from In the land of Tlaxcala, I am afraid that the once powerful Tlaxcala Alliance has been completely destroyed after so many reinforcements have been transferred!"
Thinking of this, Great Sun Chief Qiqini felt more and more heavy. As the leader of the alliance of tribes in West Totonac, he knows the terrible power of the Mexica alliance far more than the tribes on the far east coast!
"It's just a partial division of more than 10,000 people, and the holy land that has already been fought has fallen, and all the tribes have fled, and they dare not fight in the wild. Now His Royal Highness Mexica has come in person, bringing elite reinforcements! If the Mexica are not like During the battle of the Tlaxcala gods, if they were willing to accept the surrender and keep my tribe and Jinwan City, then I would have long ago”
Great Sun Chief Qiqini frowned, hesitating in his heart. He was looking at the northwest in a daze, but he heard heavy footsteps coming in a hurry, and there was a loud shout from a long distance away.
"Chichini! Chichini! The Mexica have just arrived with a great prince, more than 10,000 legions! May the ancestors and gods bless you!"
While speaking, the chieftain of Hidden Snake City, boasting the snake Kwacha Kwaal, strode towards Qiqini. He had a red copper ax tied around his waist, and two red copper-tipped spears on his back, as if he was ready to fight at any time. As soon as he came in front of Qiqini, he stretched out his thick arms, grabbed Qiqini's shoulders, and said repeatedly.
"Chichini, we are in big trouble now! I sent out scouts to spy on them, and I saw that legion, with many big bows on their backs, thousands of thick leather and heavy armor, and mysterious golden copper beasts! Listen! What kind of extremely powerful guards are you talking about?"
"A lot of big bows? Thousands of thick leather and heavy armor? Golden copper beasts?"
Hearing this, Great Sun Chief Qiqini was startled, and his inner balance swayed violently. The elite scouts under him had almost collapsed a long time ago. Now these snooping and killing jobs have to rely on the warriors of the eastern states.
"Praise the snake, are you sure?"
"Witness of the gods! My personal guards saw it with their own eyes!"
The Chief Hidden Snake Kua Snake looked solemn and swore to the gods. Then, he looked at Chiccini, and Chiccini looked at him. The two titular alliance leaders of the Eastern and Western Totonac Alliance looked at each other for a long time, with hesitation on their faces. After a while, the chieftain Kua Snake moved his eyes and spoke first.
"Qicini, are you sure you can defend Jinwan City?"
"Kua Snake, your tribal warriors also participated in the defense of Jinwan City. I understand it best. This is the strongest city in the entire Totonak! Our city wall is five meters high and is made of bricks. There are more than a dozen fortress-like temples in the city, there are 20,000 defenders, 20,000 people can store food for a year, and there is black oil that is easy to burn. What's more, behind us, there are dozens of The Totonac tribe, supported by more than a dozen city-states!."
The chief of the Great Sun, Qiqini, was shaken in his heart, but his face showed a confident look.
Even if he wants to surrender, it is by no means the situation where soldiers are approaching the city now. Jinwan City had to defend for at least a few months in front of the Mexica offensive, and let the other party know the casualties of the storm, so that they could obtain the conditions for self-preservation during the negotiation.
And to defend the Golden Bay City on the plain, you must rely on the Totonak warriors from the various eastern ministries, try to stick to the surrounding camps, and obtain material support from the eastern ministries! Similarly, these warriors from various Eastern tribes themselves can also be used as "chips" for negotiations.
"In Jinwan City, 20,000 defenders store food for a year, and in the villages outside Heiyou City, 13,000 defenders also store food for a year!"
Hidden Snake Chief Kua Snake muttered to himself, analyzing the possibility of persistence. He was strongly supported by the priests of the Hidden Snake Holy City, and he brought a total of 5,000 warriors and fighters from the city-state! And he also relied on his strength and status to become the nominal leader of the various ministries of Totonac in the East, leading the Eastern Allied Forces of 23,000 people.
"When the reinforcements from the Mexica arrive, the safest way is to retreat with the main force of the city-state! Abandon Jinwan City and let them stick to Hidden Snake City alone. It is more than 500 miles away. It is separated by more than 500 miles of jungle If the Mexica want to conquer, I'm afraid they won't be able to maintain such a long food road and support so many troops."
The Chief Hidden Snake boasted that Snake is nearly forty years old and is a veteran in war. What he was more used to in the past was guerrillas with hundreds of people and fights in the jungle. From a purely military point of view, from the perspective of the city-state's interests, since it is completely suppressed by the opponent and cannot fight in the field, the entire army should withdraw to the east and entrust the opponent to a more distant jungle. Then, on the territory where they have more advantages, use the method that the tribe is good at, to fight.
"It's just the current situation. The Mexica burned down the Holy City of the Feathered Serpent, and the surviving priests of the Feathered Serpent cried out everywhere, inspiring the hearts of the warriors! In particular, a priest named Papu told about the tragedy he had seen with his own eyes, and burst into tears."
"The Holy City of the Hidden Snake gathered these priests and summoned the coalition forces of various ministries. They want to take this opportunity to unify the beliefs of East and West Totonak. As the leader of the coalition forces, if I can defeat the Mexica, I can become the leader of all the ministries. , coupled with the support of the priests of the Holy Land, we can even go one step further."
"I managed to convene all the ministries to fight against the Mexica Alliance, and I have accumulated some prestige! The current situation can still persist. If we evacuate now, Jinwan City will break everything that was done before. The thoughts of the chiefs of the ministries."
Thinking of this, Chief Hidden Snake Kua Snake pursed his lips, and pressed the plan of migration and retreat back into his heart. He and Qiqini looked at each other for a long time, silent. Both of them had thoughts in their minds, thinking about the possibility of surrender or retreat. But after a long time, when the two spoke again, they had the same firm determination!
"Gods bless! Kua Snake, we only need to keep it for another three months, and it will be the rainy season in May. If we keep it for five months, it will be the peak of the rainy season, and we can last another year! However, if we want to persevere, Jin Wan The ministries need more support from the eastern ministries.”
"Chichini, tell me! The ancestors are witnesses! Even if I die in battle, I will persist in resisting to the end for the sake of the gods!"
"Bless the ancestors! Kua Snake, the Mexica reinforcements have arrived in large numbers, and the morale of the various tribes in the city will inevitably drop. There may even be chiefs who want to leave us. As the leaders of the eastern and western tribes, we must join hands. Declare your determination to persevere and suppress the chiefs!"
"Jointly announce to suppress the chiefs? Good! Chichini, what else do you need?"
"Kua Snake, send people to the eastern ministries to ask for more food, more boats, and more warrior support!"
"More food, boats, and warriors? Ha! The situation of the various ministries is already the same."
Hearing this, Chief Hidden Snake Kua Snake showed a wry smile. He sighed and nodded slightly.
"Witness of the gods! I will send an envoy!"
"Okay! One last thing, there is a key military stronghold in the southeast of Jinwan City, which is related to the life and death of the coalition forces! I want you to lead the army in person and go to the town!"
Speaking of this, the Great Sun Chief Qiqini's eyes flickered. What he said was the truth, that military village near the river is indeed extremely important! However, letting Chief Hidden Snake lead thousands of warriors to leave Jinwan City has another purpose. That is to keep his control over Jinwan City, just in case of any eventuality.
"Huh? Chicchini, what you said, could it be Linhe."
The Chief Hidden Snake Kua Snake was startled, and his eyes flickered.
"The southeast back road of the army?."
"That's right! It's the southeast back road of the army, the adobe village near the river!"
