Chapter 393: The Palm Patriarch and the Southern Tekos People
"Chase! Chase quickly! Catch the red-haired barbarian chief! I will make his skull into a wine glass!"
The hills are undulating, the mountains are scattered, and the yellow leaves are flying and dancing. The brave palm chief Zotor shouted excitedly and ran like the wind among the hills. He took the lead, wearing leather armor, and followed closely with more than 300 family warriors.
Behind the Palm Patriarch, there were hundreds of Appachingan warriors in a loose formation, chasing after them like a long snake. In front of him, more than a hundred red-haired barbarians were fleeing in panic, one of whom was wearing a wolf skin.
Paozi, looking back in panic from time to time, turned out to be a rare canine chief, a big fish in charge of thousands of barbarian soldiers.
"Quick! Quick! Charge forward from both sides! Push them closer to the valley!"
Zutor chased for a long time, and suddenly his face became happy. This area is north of Apatchingan City, and he is very familiar with the terrain in front of him. A mile or two ahead, there is a sunken valley. The valley looks very deep, but inside
There is no exit, only a steep cliff, and it is impossible to climb out in a hurry. As long as the barbarians are forced into the valley, and the warriors behind block the entrance of the valley, the red-haired barbarian chief will be dead!
"Okay! Okay! Chase their tail and rush into the valley!"
The red-haired barbarians in front ran away in a panic and paused at the entrance of the valley, seemingly hesitating. However, the palm warriors on both sides accelerated forward, and the barbarians were still forced into the valley. The brave palm chief Zutor was overjoyed and personally led the three
Bai Shanzhan's bodyguards couldn't wait to chase him in.
"Haha! A barbarian is indeed a barbarian. He looks glamorous, but he is actually vulnerable!"
Zotor rushed into the valley and laughed.
Thousands of the king's troops marched south. He gathered heavy troops and defended the city of Apachingan. As a result, the barbarians who came were all barbarians from the north. The barbarians wore cotton armor and held long bows made of bamboo and wood. They moved very fast and did not have the honor of a warrior at all.
.They only visited the fortified Apa Qingan city for a look. They neither engaged in a fight nor attacked the city. They simply scattered away and plundered the nearby Apa plains, which are hundreds of miles away.
Zutor waited in the city for half a month, until the outside of the city was full of flames, and small groups of barbarians were everywhere, looting, attacking and killing. Many of the fortresses of the southwest nobles were captured by the barbarians. All the men were killed and their families were taken captive.
In the north, only a few people didn't know how to escape and came to the city to cry.
Even the Tekos tribe, a hundred miles away to the south, had several families attacked and three tribes of thousands of people were directly eliminated. Chimali, the chief of the "Shield", immediately sent an envoy to ask the Palm family to send troops to encircle and kill these wandering tribes.
Northern barbarians.
Chimali is a Tecos chief in the Coalcoman Mountains south of Apatchingan. He has a tribe of 20,000 people and a fighting force of 5,000. He is related by marriage to the Palm family. The family members of the Palm family are all in the southern Tecos tribe.
Refuge. This time, Chimali was invited to lead the army. As the leader of the Tekos tribes in the southern mountainous area, he was the only reinforcement the Palm family could count on.
The Palm family has been inherited on the edge of the mountainous area, and has been intermarried and exchanged with various tribes in Nantecos for generations, and has a deep understanding of the Southern Tecos people. Zotol knows that the Southern Tecos people can be roughly divided into three groups: the west, the southwest, and the southeast according to their gathering areas.
The Western Tekos tribe gathered in the Western Colima (today's Colima) mountainous area of Zicao County. They had many tribesmen and a wide range of influence. They established their ancestral city of Colima in the mountain plain. In the local language, the meaning of Colima is,
It is both a "land of volcanoes" and a "place where water bends" and can be called the City of Fire River. It has huge smoking volcanoes, fertile ash plains, and is connected to the Chapala Lake District to the north and endless streams flowing to the south.
Rio Armeria in the Great Lakes.
Fire River City is five hundred miles away from Apa Qingan City and is hidden deep among the mountains. With Fire River City as the center, the west and south reaches the endless lake, and the east reaches the western border of Zicao County and the edge of the Apa Plain.
, from the north to the Lake Chapala area in the south...this mountainous area of five hundred miles from east to west and three hundred miles from north to south is full of loose tribes of Tekos people.
Faced with the continued expansion of the former Tarasco dynasty, the Western Tecos tribe was forced to form a tribal alliance. Together with the wild people in the mountains, the total population controlled was close to 200,000. They had several large tribes with tens of thousands of people to resist Tarasco.
The old Scots dynasty had been attacking for decades, and finally surrendered to the kingdom in name. The leader of the alliance, the strongest Chief Colima, even gave his daughter to marry the former Tarasco royal family, giving birth to a child with the blood of both gods.
of prince.
Before Zotor launched his army, he also sent envoys to Fire River City to ask for help, but there was no news. The distance between the western ministries was too far, and the attitude of Chief Colima was unclear, and it seemed that he was unwilling to rashly provoke the powerful northern king.
The Southwest Tecos tribe gathered in the Coalcoman Mountains in the southwest of Shicao County, and established the small city of Coalcoman (today's Coalán) with the Coalcoman Valley as the core. The city of Coalcoman is about two kilometers away from the city of Apatchingan.
One hundred and fifty miles away. In the local language, Coalcoman means "snake with hands", so it can also be called the City of Hand Snakes.
The range of the tribes in the southwest is also five hundred miles from east to west and three hundred miles from north to south. They reach the Talsas River in the east, the Apa Plain in the north, the endless lake in the south, and the edge of the Colima Mountains in the west.
However, due to the lack of fertile volcanic ash plains like the Fire River Plain, the tribes in the southwest only have about 112,000 people, many of whom are scattered on the lakeside plains of the endless lakes.
Before the sudden demise of the former Tarasco dynasty, the southwestern tribes were all vassals of the kingdom. The powerful tribes were deliberately suppressed or even split up. Many tribal warriors were recruited during the Western Expedition. It was not until the demise of the former dynasty that the "Shield" army
Chief Chimali finally got rid of the shackles of the kingdom and officially rose to power. During the rise of Chimali, the Palm Family traded a lot of food and weapons and was an important ally of the Shield Tribe. The relationship between the two parties was extremely close.
Therefore, when Zotor's envoy for help arrived at Hand Snake City, the enterprising Chimali immediately summoned all the tribes and went north to support the allies. The southwestern tribes had been suppressed by the kingdom for many years and finally gained independence, and they did not want the old rule to return.
Arrival. Now, at least more than 10,000 tribal warriors have emerged from the mountains and forests, and more tribes are still gathering.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Southeast Tekos tribe gathered in the southeast of Lithosperm County, nearly two hundred miles east of the lower outlet of the Tulsas River, and the Sacatula coastal plain.
The city of Caturla (today's Zihuatanejo). The meaning of Sakatura is "water in the yellow mountains". It is located between the mountains and the endless lake. It is also the "land of women". It has a large number of matrilineal clan remnants, so it can be called
It is Ama City. Four hundred miles northeast of Ama City is the Huetamo Mountains, and two hundred miles southeast is the Trapanic people who live along the coast.
Ama City is extremely remote, four to five hundred miles away from Apatchingan City, and is blocked by large rivers and lakes. The Tekos tribe there only has 40,000 to 50,000 people. Like the Trapanic tribes, they are all nominally loyal to the kingdom and the
The Alliance surrendered and actually governed itself behind closed doors. Their geographical location was very isolated, protected by the Sierra Madre del Sur in the north and surrounded by towering desolate mountains for hundreds of miles. They had little fear of or concern for any land conquests.
The situation outside the mountain.
Zotor also sent envoys to Haenyeo City, but he knew in his heart that there was almost no possibility of the southeast tribe sending troops.
Confused thoughts flashed through the mind of the Palm Patriarch, making him more and more aware of the danger of the situation. But what he can do now is to defeat this small group of barbarians who are looting everywhere and fleeing!
Thinking of this, Zotor's footsteps did not stop. He chased all the way, and finally forced the wolf-robed chief on the opposite side to the end of the valley. Looking around, there were steep cliffs all around, and there was no way to escape. The wolf
The chieftain with more than a hundred red hair turned around in despair. He raised the short bronze spear in his hand and roared loudly.
"Ouch!"
"Haha, let's see where you run away!"
Zotor laughed heartily. He approached with three hundred family warriors, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Don't talk about howling like a wolf, even if you kneel down and meow like a cat, my head will be cut off today!"
"Ouch!"
The wolf-robed chief roared again, a strange smile appeared on his face, and the red-haired hunter beside him also shouted at the same time.
"Ouch!!"
But after a few breaths, I seemed to hear his call, and the neat wolf howl suddenly sounded from behind the cliff, like the roar of a pack of wolves hunting!
Then, in Zotol's disbelieving eyes, hundreds of red-haired hunters stood on the cliff dozens of steps away. They raised light and powerful bamboo longbows in their hands, aimed slightly, and pointed at the clothes.
