January is the beginning of the new year, a day of celebration and sacrifice. Starting from the beginning of the month, grand sacrificial ceremonies are held in various tribes in Mexico. In every peaceful village and town, priests sing and chant, and civilians sing and dance together.
Spend the end of the month celebrating.
The gods and nobles of various states had no intention of singing and dancing. They sent tribute envoys, dispatched low-key spies, questioned passing merchants, and paid close attention to the battle situation between the Leman River and the Talsas River. The strongest in the world
The two largest forces are engaged in the most massive and cruel war between the two longest rivers.
In distant rumors, there were hundreds of thousands of warriors fighting each other there. The shocking fighting caused the birds to flee and migrate, and the gathering blood changed the color of the two rivers. But on the front line of the fierce battle, the nobles withered like flowers, and the warriors
It fell like raindrops, and was humbly buried in the soil together with ordinary civilians!
Hearing the news from afar, the nobles of various states were surprised and worried. The more practical impact was reflected in the markets of various city-states.
The alliance and the kingdom intercepted the caravans and forcibly confiscated supplies. The defeated soldiers and bandits looted everywhere, and the merchants stayed away from the warring areas. This war has been going on for a long time, and no more goods from Tarasco can be purchased on the market.
Bronze wares, dried fish from the Micancho Lake area, and medicinal herbs from the western mountains and forests. The priests of Mexica forcibly control the markets of the alliance states, and the grain and salt from the valleys have also been greatly reduced, not to mention
Shields, cotton armor and sharp and fragile obsidian war clubs used in war.
Among all the news, the most unexpected was that the northern part of the Kingdom of Tarakos had been lost, and the Mexican Northern Army was advancing on the capital! The leaders of the gods in the city-state were shocked: "The Mexica people have "god-given" weapons to help them.
We will conquer everything along the way!" However, within more than half a year, the powerful Bronze Kingdom showed obvious decline and was unable to resist the Mexica attack.
The leaders of various states were talking a lot. They knew very well that the outcome of this huge war would determine the future of the entire world!
As a result, more envoys were sent out to connect with different countries. More spies received instructions to collect information on the new weapons of the Mexica. February came suddenly as travelers were in a hurry.
February is a suitable season for travel. The warm sunshine shines brightly, and there is no rain in the cloudless sky. The soil on the ground becomes dry, the branches and leaves of shrubs on the roadside are scattered, and the number of insects and ants is also rarer than in the rainy season. Long-distance marches become more difficult.
Easy, even in the flat Lake Patzcuaro area.
Under the golden sunshine, "Feather" Peng Guali is dressed in gold and silver clothing, wearing a gorgeous feather crown, holding a noble staff, shining like a messenger of the gods. He has a majestic appearance, generous manners, majestic and unrivaled manners.
Elegant and calm. Behind him is a gorgeous four-meter-high flag, held high by a flag officer.
The brand-new flag is flying in the air. The shape is of the prince's specifications and is even better in terms of exquisiteness. On the front of the flag is a flying quetzal bird with slender and beautiful blue-green tail feathers. On the back is the abstract image of three gods.
, with clear and bright blood-red eyes.
Under the escort of his personal guards, Peng Guali climbed onto a nearby hill and looked around in high spirits. In his eyes, he saw an endless marching column, a huge Lake District Legion!
The warriors in the Lake District are high-spirited, wearing patterned cotton armor, carrying bronze spears, war clubs and shields, and head to the royal capital with confidence. The militiamen gather into loose groups, like a reunited ant colony. They use villages as units,
Under the restraint of the militia captain, they carried the army's baggage on their backs, holding spears with bronze spearheads, stone spearheads, and even bone spearheads, and headed eastward in a noisy way. At the end of the army, there were thousands of civilians carrying provisions and grass on their backs.
These were recruited from nearby villages to maintain the logistics of the army.
This is a powerful Lakeland Legion with a full 10,000 Chapala warriors and 20,000 trained militiamen! The brave Chapala people are not comparable to the weak Patzcuaro people. They grew up in
Growing up in the battle, he resisted the Guamar dog descendants in the north and fought against the invading squads, while suppressing the Tekos tribe in the west and raiding hostile settlements from time to time.
"This is an army that saves the kingdom! And I am the leader of this army, today's 'Feather' Prince and the future 'Feather' King!"
On the hillock, Peng Guali was full of pride and looked to the rear. The tributary of Lake Chapala to the east ends here, and the convenient marching channel ends. On the river, small boats transporting grain can be seen in the distance, and they are continuously transported from the rear.
Supplies. Along the tributary river, he has walked out of Zacapu State and out of the protection of mountains and fortresses, and may face the front of the Mexica at any time.
Thinking of this, Peng Guali frowned slightly. The last encounter on Lake Yuriria was still vivid in his mind. However, the battle on land was not as good as on the lake. The warriors could walk and dodge freely. The nearby vegetation was not strong and there was no water for Mexico.
Add fuel for rocket arson.
He looked ahead and saw a vast plain in front of him, surrounded by cultivated fields and villages dotted on the fields. Traces of the prosperity of the past were vaguely visible, but now it was full of desolation and desolation, with no people or smoke. It was already a deserted place.
The edge of the Patzcuaro Lake District is only five days' journey from the capital Qincongcan.
The fortress at the mouth of the river had been lost, so he no longer had to support along the Leman River and risk encountering the Mexican navy. The area around Lake Quiceo was controlled by the enemy's fleet and was no longer safe. And the latest messenger brought a shocking surprise
According to the news, the Mexicans have even captured the fortress of Huayamo and completely controlled the north of the capital.
Peng Guari thought carefully and repeatedly asked the scouts, and then found the safest marching route. The army first went south to the tributary river connecting Lake Chapala, and then moved east along the river, all the way along the hinterland of the kingdom, straight to
By acting like this, the army in the west of the capital had completely given up on attacking the Northern Army of Mexico, but there was no need to worry about its own logistics.

Thinking of this, "Feather" Penggua showed a handsome smile, and his eyes sparkled with a bright look, which made people feel heartbroken. The surrounding family warriors also looked with reverence at the head of the family who was looking out from the hill.
However, not everyone admires the new prince. The higher the nobles are, the more they understand the whole story of the Lake Yurilia War.
Under the escort of dozens of personal guards, a richly dressed nobleman, wearing a sky-blue cloak and holding a bronze spear, came to the hill with a fierce expression. He glanced behind Peng Guali with complicated eyes.
The prince flag, curled his lips slightly, and then said loudly.
"Dear Feather, the frontline scouts discovered rising smoke and dust in the east, which should be traces of the march of the Mexica army! We must quickly form a team, take the initiative to attack, and prepare for a glorious war!"
Peng Guali's expression froze. He raised his head in surprise and looked at the noble man in front of him.
"Dear Sky Divine Oanda, are you sure you have seen the Mexica army? These days, there are always some Mexica scouts nearby who are whistling and hawking, but they are just the enemy's small team. This is located in the westernmost part of the Lake District
, is a full one or two hundred miles away from the Huayamo Fortress where the main force of the Mexicans is gathered! Did the Mexican army really appear in the east?"
In the Tarasco language, Oanda means sky. For such a noble name, the family inheritance is no less than a feather, or even better!
In fact, this is indeed the case. The Sky Family has a prominent position in the Chapala Lake District. Even with the title of the prince, Pengguari is only the nominal supreme commander of the Lake District Legion. In his hands, he can only firmly control 5,000 warriors and 10,000 militiamen.
.The blue-clothed nobleman Oanda in front of him has three thousand warriors and six thousand militiamen under his command. He is the second member of the Lake District Legion.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Oanda's mouth, as if there was a silent sarcasm. Then, he actually spoke sarcastically.
"Prince Feather, who is brave and good at fighting and never retreats to the death. You are familiar with the real battlefield and you must know that in this dry season and on this open plain, the trajectory of the army's movement cannot be covered. Given the scale of our march,
, the smoke and dust raised cover the sky, and can be easily seen by enemies more than ten miles away, or even further! So I don’t know why the prince wants to take a detour from the south and take these two unnecessary days."
"And if the Mexicans want to attack us, they will definitely send an army of more than 10,000 people! Their actions cannot be concealed, and the smoke from the east will soon be seen here."
Having said this, Oanda, who had gone through the battle, looked eastward, considered silently for a moment, and then continued to speak.
"'Feather' Pengguari, we have about six to seven quarters of an hour to prepare for the battle and form our army. Then in another two quarters of an hour, the two armies will officially engage in battle. We should launch the charge first, without giving any
An opportunity for the other party to make arrangements!"
Peng Guali was stunned for a moment, then stood on tiptoe and looked to the east. Far away in the east, he could indeed see faint smoke and dust, approaching here. He once again thought of the power of the Mexica army, and his pride suddenly subsided.
, looking hesitant.
"Oanda, after marching for half a day, the army is always a little tired. There are neither hills or hills to occupy the terrain here, nor towns and fortresses to rely on... If you retreat more than ten miles, you will reach the river that came all the way.
The naval force relying on the river can protect our left or right wing and respond to the commander at any time. Moreover, to the west of the river, I remember there is a hill tens of meters high, which can occupy a favorable location..."
Oanda listened with a stern face, and the more he listened, the uglier his expression became. Finally, he couldn't help but burst out angrily, interrupting the legion commander's idea.
"Peng Guali! When the two armies meet, they will advance or retreat. They just leave life and death to the gods and concentrate on fighting! Elite warriors can move flexibly, how can these clumsy militiamen mobilize in front of the enemy? Once they are commanded randomly, the army will
Collision means defeat without a fight. Since you are lucky enough to become the commander-in-chief, you must take up the responsibility of the commander-in-chief and don't give ridiculous orders! ...
Both the cardinal and the kestrel have gorgeous feathers. The former just chirps and shows off its power, and is afraid of real wild wolves; the latter spreads its wings and soars in the sky, and bravely pounces on the black panthers in the jungle! As a native of the Lake District
The noble family must live up to its name and not let the Chapala warriors be shamed!"
Peng Guali's face turned green and red. He clenched the noble staff in his hand and almost waved it out with all his strength. The last nobleman who dared to yell at him like this has become a prisoner of the Mexica, and he does not know whether he will live or die!
With a cold face, he looked at Oanda in front of him, neither giving orders nor speaking.
Not far behind him, another nobleman in silver-white robes saw the two people arguing and trotted over. With a smile like a spring breeze, he stretched out his hands at the same time, held the two commanders in hand, and persuaded them with a smile.
road.
"Supreme 'Feather' Prince, respected 'Sky' Commander, what you said makes sense! It is indeed safe to retreat more than ten miles to the rear, occupying the favorable terrain, and becoming invincible. But the Mexicans are right in front.
, the number is unknown, and leaving without fighting always damages morale. The army in the Lake District is so impressive, and under the leadership of the two commanders, the warriors and militiamen all have the belief of victory and are eager for a glorious battle!
Seeing that the capital of Qincongcan is only a few days away, as long as the incoming enemies are defeated, there will be no obstacles ahead. At that time, everyone will be the heroes to save the capital! The nobles of the Chapala Lake area can finally
Feel proud in front of the nobles of the royal capital, and even go one step further!"
Hearing the words of the nobleman in white, Peng Guali's expression softened slightly. He glared at Oanda. The other party also knew that he was anxious and spoke in a serious tone, so he lowered his head slightly to express obedience and concession. Then, Peng Gua
Li exerted a little force to break free from the held arm, and then smiled slightly at the other party.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Dear 'Silver' Tekata, what you said does make sense, and let me wait and see the enemy's military situation!"
The meaning of Tekata is silver, which means the brilliance of the gods. This is another noble family name. Tekata is the third member of the Lake District Legion. He controls two thousand warriors and four thousand militiamen. He is also a very good man.
He was gentle and kind. Everyone gave him face and maintained the superficial unity and harmony among the great nobles of the coalition.
Then, Commander "Feather" pondered for a moment and asked the guard beside him who was familiar with the terrain.
"Where is this?"
"Dear Prince, this is the plain called Tacuro between Sacapu State and Lake Patzcuaro."
"What does Tacuro mean?"
"Takuro is a resting place, a place where birds fall from the sky. At first, it was a puddle meadow with lush water and grass. Later, the ancestors migrated, drove away the wild animals, and after cultivation, it turned into a fertile field.
"
The guard thought quickly, lowered his head and answered in a deep voice.
Hearing "birds falling from the sky", "Feather" Peng Guali frowned. This seemed to be a bad sign, and this place might not be suitable for fighting.
Tekata observed the words and immediately spoke with a smile.
"The eagles of Chapala fell from the sky and tore the jaguars of the Mexica to pieces as sacrifices to the Mother Goddess of the Earth! The ancestors of Tarasco bulldozed the land in the lake to drive away the invading Mexica beasts,
Cultivation of fertile fields! Prince Feather, this is a good sign! This battle will be won!"
Hearing this, "Feather" Peng Guali and "Sky" Oanda looked at each other, and laughed at the same time after a moment. The two looked to the east, and the rising smoke and dust were finally clearly visible.
At the end of the sky, the Mexica legion gradually showed its traces, with spears and war clubs flashing cold light. Soon, military orders came from the hillocks one after another, and the Tarasco legion began to stop on the spot and reorganize their formation.
, the bright flags are flying. At this point, the war is inevitable, and the epic begins!
