Chapter 603: A Bow and Arrow in One Hand, a Heavenly Dao in the Other Hand The Third Shift
Tenochka was one of the kings of the Chichimec tribes.
In fact, it was not the real king, but Wen Tianxiang, a half-Nahua expert and a master of Mexica's historical and cultural research, according to his own random understanding, gave these city-state chieftains in the Mexika region their names.
Actually, the head of state or leader is a more appropriate title. Because Tenochca, the leader of the Aztec-Tisapan city-state, was an Aztec nobleman elected to power by the Council of Elders. He is not a hereditary king, and he does not have the authority of a king.
In Aztec society, the power of the priests and elders was great, and the divine power was supreme. Compared to Tenochka, the worshippers who were in charge of worshipping various gods such as the main god Whitzlopori (regarded as the god of the sun and war), the god of creation, Trok-Nahuak, the sun god Tonansin, the rain god Tlaloc, the corn god Shilone, the feathered Serpent god Czalko Atel, the "two-headed god" Ometkutli and his wife Omech Waltel, and other gods seemed to be more like kings.
All these sacrifices can give Tenochka, the so-called king, a target for catching people and sacrificing blood to the gods! This is a very difficult task to complete, even in the Zhongmingzhou region, where blood sacrifices are very popular, the Aztec blood sacrifice is considered a difficult task.
Because the taste of this Aztec sacrifice is heavier, not only blood, but also fresh, to be captured alive and killed, disemboweled, and the heart and skin are dug up! You can't drag some corpses back, and you can't learn from the Mayans, who only bleed and don't kill people...... This is not a blood sacrifice, it is a blood offering! It's so insincere that the gods will get angry. The sun will explode.
To appease the wrath of the gods, to avoid the destruction of the sun. So the Aztec warriors had no choice but to follow their king Tenochka to fight everywhere. Act as someone else's mercenary.
Now the Aztecs are the mercenaries of the Kurwa Nation, a powerful country in the Mexica Valley, and have established their own city-state in Tisapan of the Kurva Nation. He followed the king of Kulwa to fight everywhere, captured prisoners of war in the foreign wars of the Kulwa state, and brought back his city-state for blood sacrifice - that is, knocking the enemy warriors out on the battlefield and carrying them back, raising them for a few days, eating and drinking well, fattening them well, and finally digging into their hearts and skins...... And, of course, eating meat!
Because of this very cruel sacrificial custom. As a result, all the city-states in the Mexica Valley, with the exception of the Kurva Kingdom, hated the Aztecs. It's just that the Aztec warriors have developed a good skill in the war games of capturing people and sacrificing people for many years, and have become the most formidable warriors in the Mexica Valley and even in the whole of Zhongming - if they fight alone, and use the same "mace" or spear (no archery, because the Aztecs can't), the Aztec Tiger warrior (who needs to capture four captives alive from the battlefield to become a Tiger warrior) is probably the most formidable warrior in the world.
As a result, no one could drive the Aztecs out of the Mexica Valley.
This time, however, the obnoxious Aztecs were welcomed by the states of the Mexica Valley for the first time. The forty Chichimec city-states in the Mexica Valley put together a large sum of money and sent it to Tisapan.
Because recently, there is a more ferocious "Ming Eight Banner People" from the north!
They don't know where it came from, and they use a short spear that can be projected very far. It's very powerful, and others often don't get close, and they have already been killed and suffered heavy losses. And the way they fight is also very strange, very neat. It's as if the souls of tens of thousands of people have been brought together!
Such a powerful and somewhat strange army can only be dealt with by the Aztecs!
The Aztecs heard that this group of "Ming Eight Banners" from the north had actually occupied the sacred sites of the Sun Pyramid and the Moon Pyramid in the Mexica Valley. At that time, everyone was indignant - this is worth it!? The holy places of the sun god and the moon god have been desecrated, so don't you want to explode the solar gas? Then the whole of humanity will be destroyed!
So to save humanity. The Aztec priests ordered that all the invaders should be killed and at least 5,000 people would be captured alive for blood sacrifices.
Tenochka, who had been instructed by the priests, immediately set up five thousand men. Joined the Chichimaker coalition led by Tepanek.
……
Tenochka was a sturdy Aztec warrior who was not yet forty years old, and was a well-known hero among the Aztecs, who was skilled in martial arts, and captured four enemy warriors with his bare hands. Fierce and violent, he joined the Aztec army at the age of thirteen and became a tiger warrior at the age of eighteen.
After becoming the leader, he was able to offer enough sacrifices to the gods every year, and led the army to conquer in all directions, opening up a lot of territory for the Aztec suzerain, the Kurwa Kingdom. It can be said that he is invincible, attacking everything, and has hardly encountered opponents.
Until today!
Tenochka, who has fought countless battles, wore a battle jacket made of Mingzhou tiger skin, holding a shield and an obsidian mace, standing in front of the formation, looking at Wen Tianxiang and others who were swaggering away, and then looking at the flags and banners in the distance, spears like forests, and arrays like mountains, and suddenly felt a murderous aura that was intense to the extreme!
A sense of foreboding came to his heart one after another, and his intuition on the battlefield for many years told him that today's battle was very difficult to fight!
But now that they're on the battlefield, the Aztec warriors don't know what they're afraid of!
Tenochka gritted her teeth and waved the obsidian mace in her hand.
"Aztec warriors, the main god Veziro Portelli is angry! Do you hear his roar? ”
"We hear you!" The Aztec warriors roared in rage.
"Only donating blood can appease the wrath of Wizilopotelli!"
"We will sacrifice our son!" The Aztec warriors replied - of course they didn't want to go back and kill their son, so why would they go to war? The Aztecs wanted to kill their godson, not their own son, and after they took the captives back, they had to eat and drink well for a few days, and they had to take the captives as adopted sons, and then slaughter them and sacrifice them to the gods, so that the son was sacrificed...... This is probably fooling God, right?
"So what are you waiting for!?" Tenochka pointed the mace in his hand forward, and the thousands of Aztec warriors behind him suddenly rushed forward with a strange scream like a flood bursting its banks.
At the same time, all the Chichmek kings and generals, gave the order to charge to their respective parts! An army of 20,000 or thousands of people launched a pounce at the same time!
And the counterattack of the Indian Eight Banners was also launched quickly!
With a soft sound of "tense tension", thousands of bone arrows, which were ejected by the bowstring, rushed into the air, and then fell from the highest point. Plunge straight down at the Chichimec warrior who had just arrived in the center of the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, a jungle of arrows seemed to have grown on the wasteland.
In the middle of the team, the terrible screams rang out, and the Aztec warriors who rushed to the front suddenly suffered an unprecedented blow. Whether it is a strong tiger warrior, an eagle warrior, a skeleton warrior, or an obsidian-bladed spearman charged by Aztec civilians, they are all swept down one by one in front of the flying arrows!
The "taut" bowstring rang out in a flurry, and countless feathered arrows were once again shot into the sky, almost obscuring the sun, and then falling downward, slamming into the body of the Aztec warrior from above, who had no real armor protection at all.
The spear and shield soldiers of the Indian Eight Banners also began to advance at this time, they were like the infantry of the ancient Roman Empire, shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to shoulder, the soldiers held a rectangular leather shield in one hand, a six-foot spear in the other, and the soldiers in the first row also put the spears flat and pointed forward. Thousands of warriors, thus forming a moving wall of spears and shields, crushed the Aztecs and other Chichimecs who were being covered with bows and arrows......
……
"I, yes, it looks like I'm going to win!"
Behind the Indian Eight Banners, under a huge sun and moon flag, he looked at the killing that was unfolding in front of him with a blank face.
There is no suspense, it is simply a one-sided slaughter. The army of those Chichimeks, in the eyes of the blindfold, is not an army at all, they are just a group of civilians with wooden sticks, without any fighting power. They have the advantage of being numerous and familiar with the topography of the Mexica Valley.
"Sharks go to the sea, will they fulfill the conditions agreed before the war?" Meng asked lightly.
"Will fulfill part of the ...... Both slaves and Mayami will give. The city-states of the Mexica Valley have a lot of slaves and Mayami, and they shouldn't care. ”
The Mexican Valley is very fertile, and developed agriculture has given birth to one ancient Indian civilization after another. Moreover, the city-states of the Mexika Valley were all slave city-states, and there were quite a few slaves, so it was not difficult to pay tribute with 20,000 men. There are forty city-states here, and there are only a few hundred people in a family.
"As for this valley and this city, they have no power to take it back, so naturally we can only occupy it." Shark Tonghai paused, and then said, "For the time being, they will still treat us as the sect master...... However, they will secretly prepare for a war of revenge, and at the earliest in a year, there will be several times as many enemies to fight us. ”
Meng laughed, "It won't take a year, it's six months...... I will be able to train 20,000 elite soldiers, and I will not be able to sweep this Mexica Valley when the time comes? ”
"20,000 elite soldiers?" Wen Tianxiang next to him was stunned for a moment, "Brother Meng, where did you find 20,000 people to be soldiers?" ”
Blindfolded a smile, "Aren't there twenty thousand slaves?" Mr. Wenshan, let you and Lord Yang Tan educate together for six months, they should always believe in our Taiyi God and the Heavenly King, right? (To be continued......)
