Flames burned in front of the temple, thick smoke drifted in the city, and the fierce fighting lasted for two days and two nights. The rebel militia occupied most of the city, and thousands of civilians had fled. On the city wall, three gods and purple statues were erected.
The flag of the Cao Family is just like the era of the Kingdom of Tarasco. When the sun rises again, all the colors in Curamo City are revealed. At this moment, this pearl on the shores of Lake Atoac is already undergoing a fierce battle.
The middle is dyed bright red.
In the center of the city, blood flowed down from the Yakata Pyramid, which was more than ten meters high, and gathered into a shallow stream. The veteran Etalik was wearing heavy armor and sitting in the main temple at the top of the pyramid. He looked calm and held a hand in his hand.
A piece of corn tortilla, gnawing slowly.
Not long after the main temple was renovated, the remaining murals of the three gods can be vaguely seen. However, the symbol of the hummingbird sun is erected in the center, and the supreme god suppresses all the remnants of the old gods. Under the symbol of the main god, a Mexica war priest holds a
The Ali Sutra was chanting the holy war chapters loudly to encourage the morale of the warriors.
The generals were calm and confident, and the priests were pious and fearless. Under their influence, the more than five hundred Mexica warriors on the pyramid settled down. They relied on the solid pyramid and were divided into three layers for defense.
On the outermost perimeter are four hundred warriors holding shields and spears, forming a battle formation suitable for defense, guarding the middle of the pyramid. Further up are more than a hundred archers holding longbows, in groups of three or five, occupying a good line of sight for shooting.
Position, accurately shoot the enemy warriors. The incident happened suddenly, and the archer did not have enough bows and arrows, so he could not shoot at will.
At the top, there are forty elite warriors wearing heavy cloth armor, each holding a large axe, recharging their energy. When one side of the pyramid is attacked by the enemy's elite and the situation is critical, they will charge from above.
Next, use the irresistible power to kill and defeat the enemy!
The sun was rising, but after a moment of silence, the sound of fighting began again. Thick burning smoke rose from under the pyramid, blackening the warriors on both sides, but it could effectively block the sight of the archers.
Five to six hundred Kuramo militiamen, led by hundreds of warriors from Purple Grass, climbed up from the south and made a difficult assault on the pyramid. They raised their heads and thrust out their spears, but were easily blocked by the Mexica warriors. Then, high up
The bronze spear stabbed down with a "swish", penetrating into the heads and necks of the militiamen, turning the big tent bright red!
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
A large group of Curamo slingers approached the pyramid, throwing stones from below, hitting the cotton armor and shields of the Mexica warriors, and occasionally hitting the warriors' cheeks, which hurt. The warriors were very angry, but always obeyed
The general ordered to hold the pyramid firmly and not attack.
"Whizzing!"
The Mexica archers watched for a moment, and through the smoke, they shot dozens of sporadic arrows. More than a dozen purple grass warriors hidden in the militia howled, fell to the ground seriously injured or died. The precious arrows could not be
Consumed on the weedy Kuramo Slinger.
Hundreds of lives were sacrificed in front of the main temple, and the stream on the pyramid was replenished again, slowly flowing down the stone steps, making the climb more difficult. The attack of the Lithospermum family lasted for a quarter of an hour, and they were still unable to
Breakthroughs are made, but corpses continue to be left behind.
In the fight of blood and fire, the veteran Etalik finished eating the cake. He stood up, looked down at the battle situation south of the pyramid, and nodded. The battle line was stable, and it was not time to use heavy armored warriors.
The kingdom's copper armor production has gradually become richer, and each major general has a group of heavily armored personal guards, numbering around dozens of people. These elite armored warriors protect the generals on the one hand, and are used for key assaults on the other. Etalik serves as
The alliance veteran received fifty pairs of expensive bronze armors, but lost ten of them in the attack not long ago.
Thinking of this, veteran Etalik became extremely angry.
Two days ago, he was attacked by assassins from the Lithospermum family. After lying about being a minor noble, the other party presented three letters from General Prepecha plotting a rebellion. After reading them, he felt that the words in these letters were unclear and mixed.
Reading various pictures and texts of Tarasco, he summoned the other party to inquire in detail.
Who knew that the opponent looked cowardly, but was actually fierce. He suddenly attacked, and one of his guards was scratched on the arm and poisoned to death on the spot. Fortunately, Etalik was wearing a heavy arm guard and was skilled in martial arts, so he pulled it out directly.
With a copper sword, he killed the opponent in a few blows. Afterwards, he looked at the dots of blue frog poison on the cloth armor and his heart palpitated.
"The rebellion of the Zicao family has definitely been planned for a long time! God bless you, and your ancestors bless you. I hope nothing happens to your highness!"
Etalik looked to the north and prayed devoutly for a moment.
Shortly after the assassin's attack, thousands of rebel militiamen and warriors appeared in the city of Kuramo, and with the assistance of internal agents, they raided Etalik's military camp.
At least half of the two hundred Prepecha warriors newly recruited in the camp participated in the rebellion. They shouted the slogan "The Barbarian King of Mexica has been assassinated, and the royal family of Tarasco will soon be restored to the kingdom" and surrounded them from all directions.
Many residents in Kuramo City also participated, some guiding the rebels, some providing food, and some even participating in the battle.
Thinking of this, Etalik's eyes filled with anger and some regret.
"After the militia was disbanded, the two hundred Prepecha warriors should not have been recruited! The enemies sneaking into the interior are the most dangerous. There are rebels in Curamo City! When the king's army comes, I must suggest to His Highness: The entire city
The rebels in the city must either be sacrificed or reduced to slavery!”
Zicao County in the south survived the Western Expedition, and its towns and villages remained largely intact. There were too many remaining aristocratic forces, and the spread of faith was slow. The people had never seen the power of the Mexica Legion, and they still had doubts about the old Tarasco dynasty.
Fantasy. The rule of the kingdom is not stable here, which is why Etalik suggested that His Majesty go south for consolidation.
A camp of one thousand Mexica warriors was attacked by the rebellious Zicao family. More than 300 people were killed on the spot, and they were surrounded by rebel militias and residents. The veteran Etalik made a quick decision and led the remaining 600 warriors to fight to the death.
Assault, defeat the enemies besieging the main temple, and occupy the pyramid in the center of the city.
The main temple has food and water that can sustain everyone for three days, as well as more than fifty temple guards. Although these temple guards are from Prepecha, they are extremely loyal to the alliance. This loyalty is not only because
Religious belief, and because the fate of the temple guards has long been bound to the temple, once the rebels who believe in the three gods capture the city, they will have no choice but to die!
"Only Prepecha warriors who devoutly believe in the Lord God are good warriors who are trustworthy."
Etalik murmured to himself. The spread of faith is crucial to the stability of the kingdom's rule.
Under his command, more than 600 Mexica warriors and temple guards relied on the favorable location to defend the pyramid. Once freed from the surprise attack and melee, the Mexica warriors could fully unleash their combat power. In the two-day battle
During the attack, the warriors only suffered losses of more than a hundred, but they killed more than five hundred enemies. By now, the rebellious Zicao family has lost their spirit, and the elites are probably almost destroyed. The warriors are firmly entrenched in the temple, and the largest
The threat is running out of food and water.
"The leader of the Zicao family, the leader of the rebels, Gulamo."
The veteran Etalik looked at the bottom of the pyramid with a solemn expression.
The flag of the Lithospermum family was erected outside the range of the longbow. Beside the flag, a handsome warrior leader wearing bronze armor was looking at the defenders on the pyramid. Then, he gave a few instructions to the surrounding guards.
The thousands of Kuramo militiamen gathered again in the east, west, and north of the pyramid. To the south where the warrior leader stood, nine bronze-armored elites led more than 300 leather-armored warriors and were making the final mobilization.
"Haha! Gulamo, the warriors don't have enough food and water, but you are so impatient that you overwhelm all the elites."
Etalik ignored the coming attack and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Praise the Lord God! It seems that His Highness is safe and sound, and reinforcements are about to arrive!"
