The hazy sky shrouded the plateau, and clouds piled up in the east, heralding changes in the climate. Under the clouds, a white stone fortress stood on a hill tens of meters high, as if it was the incarnation of indestructibility.
Ancient snake-shaped carvings surround the city wall until they reach White Snake's hill city. But at this moment, the city head is filled with a heavy air of death. Thousands of White Snake warriors are stationed at the city head, and they are silent and silent.
The warriors guarding the city seemed to have lost the desire and ability to speak. Their eyes were numb and empty, and their faces were full of death, like living zombies. And the leather armor and battle clothes on their bodies seemed to
It had not been cleaned for a long time and was covered with strange blood stains and oil stains of unknown origin.
"It's really an extremely quiet dead city, a dying fortress."
Black Wolf's royal flag flutters high and is erected on a high platform outside the south city. The high earth platform is located on the top of the hill. It was built by tens of thousands of people digging the earth. It is almost flush with the opposite city wall. It is dedicated to
To observe the situation in Qiucheng.
At this moment, Bertard was standing on the high platform, squinting his eyes and looking at the extremely solid-looking hill city in front of him. This was his first time observing one of the last two fortresses of the Tlaxcala people. Okay.
After a while, he shook his head and said to Shulot beside him.
"Your Highness, the terrain of this hill city is excellent and very strong! In terms of defense alone, among the city-states I have seen, it is second only to the mountain city of Otopan and the city of Trochtitlan in the lake. However, the defense
The morale of the Tlaxcala warriors in the city seems to be very low! Even without heavy artillery, as long as casualties are not spared, we can defeat them and seize the city in one fell swoop!"
Shulot looked calm and nodded. White Snake Hill City was surrounded by a circle of earth and no food was allowed to enter. The siege of the entire city-state has lasted for more than a year, and the city has long run out of ammunition and food.
, eating people. There are no reinforcements outside and no food stored inside. Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to maintain the morale of the defenders.
In fact, if it weren't for the old enemy Mexica Alliance who sacrificed the gods, the Tlaxcala gods who defended the city would have surrendered long ago.
"Bertard, you are right! This fortress has only its last breath left. Now, let us use the Thor mortar to blast away their breath!"
Shulot smiled, took out the offensive flag, and waved it vigorously.
"Legion attacks!"
"Dong dong dong!"
Soon, the drums of attack began to sound, and the huge Mexican army formation changed accordingly. The first to attack were two hundred shield vehicles, driven by hundreds of militiamen, covering five hundred elite archers.
Slowly approaching the city head. After a while, the shield cart was pushed up the hill and pushed with difficulty to a distance of a hundred steps from the city. Then, the archers stood still, raised their bodies, drew their long bows, and headed towards the top of the White Snake Hill city.
Projection.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Facing the missiles from the Mexica Legion, the dead city finally came to life, and sporadic arrows began to fire back, but the number was not large.
Orin, the warrior of the Cloud Snake, sat at the head of the city, holding a shield at an angle, looking at the Mexica people outside the city. Beside him, there were piles of lime jars and rolling logs from the city defense, just blocking the other half of his body from the rain of arrows.
It fell from the sky and was nailed to the wood and shield, making a "duh" sound. However, there was no movement on Orin's lifeless face.
This kind of siege test has happened many times. Orin knew clearly that the arrows thrown by the Mexica archers were not a big threat to him wearing leather armor. The terrain and walls of White Snake Hill City
, occupying too much advantage, making the bows and arrows shot from behind become powerless.
"If this were the case, the Mexicans still wouldn't be able to capture it today."
The warrior Orin sat on the top of the city and whispered a tired prayer.
"O God of the Cloud Snake! Come quickly! Destroy everything in the city quickly! I don't want to eat any more."
"Dong dong dong!"
The fierce sound of the war drums became faster and faster, and more arrows were fired. It was obvious that the morale of the Mexicans in attacking was higher than the previous times.
Next, in Orin's confused eyes, ten large "copper beasts" with short and thick "heads", shining with golden luster, were climbing up the hill extremely slowly, dragged by more than a hundred militiamen. The copper beasts
It is said to be short and thick, but it is not necessarily very short. It is estimated that it is only slightly shorter than the height of a person, but it is indeed thick. The "mouth" of the copper beast is open, and it is more than enough to fit a human head!
"Huh? What are these large 'bronze beasts'? Are they like the previous ones, capable of making huge thunder sounds and throwing small stone projectiles?"
Orin thought blankly. He vaguely sensed some danger from the high morale of the Mexicans. In the previous siege, he had witnessed the bombardment of the Sun Condor Cannon. However, on such a steep hillside
, facing such a high hill city, the power of that "copper beast" is very limited, and the small stone bullets hit by it cannot cause damage to the solid stone wall. Only the deafening thunder is really shocking.
memorable!
"The cloud serpent priests said that these Mexica's divine weapons all borrowed the power of underground monsters! If I die under such weapons, will I fall into the abyss and fall into the kingdom of monsters?"
Orin thought wildly, seemingly not caring whether the fortress would fall or whether he would die. After being surrounded by the Mexica, he knew that the city's fall was an inevitable outcome, and death in battle was inevitable.
Of course. After all, so many gods and warriors died in this cruel battle between gods, so why should he escape? The only thing that concerned him was his destination after death.
Where to.
"Haha! Where can you go after death? Orin, you have eaten so many people, you have eaten other people's wives and daughters, and you have also let others eat your own son. Do you still think that you can go to the Cloud Snake God Guangming after you die?
Kingdom of God?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As he thought about it, Orin burst out laughing. He smiled, and two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, vaguely bloody. Feather arrows fell from time to time, but they could not kill his heart.
The people were afraid. He just pursed his lips and watched the Mexican militiamen fixing ten large "copper beasts" on the hill in an orderly manner. The location of that position was just behind the large shield car, not far from the head of White Snake City.
Just over a hundred steps.
"It's almost here. I feel like it's almost here."
Orin whispered to himself, but in his ears he heard Tisat, the Lord of White Snake City, shouting in panic from the top of the city.
"What are those golden copper beasts? What are they! Quick, call the Cloud Snake Priests over! Let them hold a ceremony and pray!"
The frightened shouts of the city lord floated at the top of the city, but except for his family warriors, not many people responded. Orin was also silent, watching helplessly as dozens of Mexican gunners were busy going back and forth, charging towards the huge
A large can of "black powder" was filled into the "beast's mouth". When loading, the gunners' faces showed nervous expressions. This was a heavy artillery that had never been seen before, and it was filled with more than ten kilograms of new gunpowder.
!
Finally, huge stone bullets, much larger than a human head, were slowly stuffed into the "animal mouth". The "animal mouth" was then sealed with cotton, and a long lead was connected. All steps were separated by just a few steps.
Walking about a hundred steps, it was carried out in front of Olin's eyes. It was so complicated and methodical, like a ritual before death.
".A stone bullet bigger than a human head? Is that so?"
Orin blinked and looked at the copper beast that "ate" the stone bullet, his face showing surprise for the first time. At this moment, an ominous premonition came again, too strong to ignore.
"O God of the Cloud Snake! Please don't let me die in an ugly way."
The warrior of Cloud Snake murmured a prayer, and fear gradually appeared in his eyes. He watched the Mexican gunners light torches and wires, then quickly covered their ears, hid on both sides of the copper beast and squatted down. Then back,
There was a moment of dead silence, and then there was the roar of thunder, a shocking sound that had never been heard before!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!."
