Chapter 492: The Kings Eyes Reflect the Sunset with Their Brilliance
As the sun sets in the west, the rays of light fall down, dyeing the camp in the mountains red. The magnificent red penetrates through the side curtains of the big tent, dyeing the simple plain tent with a splendor and a few streams of light.
"The brilliance reflects the sunset..."
Shulot sat cross-legged in the big tent, put down the brush in his hand, and looked at the wonderful scenery on the horizon. With a smile on his face, he recited half a sentence of the poem, but could not find a satisfactory follow-up.
"Well...the next step should be..."
"Your Highness, are you tired? Please let the shadow slave come and give you a massage to relax your spirit..."
Naxiu was wearing leather armor and a warrior outfit, and was studying ink next to her. Seeing Shulot's actions, she stood up and came to the back of the king. Then, the graceful female warrior knelt on the ground, carefully holding his highness's hand.
The back of her neck was pillowed on her soft thighs. A pair of flexible hands quickly touched the king's cheeks and stroked them gently.
"call..."
Shulot closed his eyes, smelled the familiar body fragrance, and exhaled a long and comfortable breath.
Since the expedition in December, his hands have been full of complicated military and civilian affairs. Reports from all over the army have gathered, and they all require him to make decisions, making it almost impossible to rest for a day. Behind these decisions is actually the South Road
The power of the legion cannot be handed over to others easily.
Hulot originally thought about asking his father to serve as deputy marshal and handle complex logistical matters like he did during the Western Expedition. But his father smiled and refused, and just followed the king closely to the northern route army for the expedition.
"I don't know what the progress of the Northern Route Army where my father is at is at this time? Did it break through the God's Pass and break into the hinterland of Wesochinco State? After the king suppressed the Huastecs, did he divide his troops again and besiege Tlaxcala State?
In the north, Feathered Serpent City, one of the four snake cities?..."
Shulot closed his eyes and meditated, and the situation of the entire Eastern Expedition was reflected in his mind. In this Eastern Expedition, the Alliance mobilized heavily, and almost all city-states sent legions, vowing to wipe out the old enemy Tlaxcala! And the north and south
The strength of Lu's army is enough to shock the world!
The Northern Route Army was personally led by King Avit, attacking from the mountain passes in the north of the Valley of Mexico to the two most dangerous northern states of the Tlaxcala people.
The frontal strength of the Northern Route Army is a full 80,000 people. Among them, the main five warrior corps and an elite militia corps total 48,000 people, all from the Texcoco Lake area under the direct jurisdiction of the king. In order to defeat the old enemy,
Almost all the warriors in the entire lake area were mobilized. Then, each of the four northern states in the alliance mobilized a group of 8,000 people, totaling 32,000 people, of which the city-state warriors accounted for about half.
Behind the 80,000 legion on the North Road are about 40,000 conscripted militiamen to transport food and supply supplies. The legion's food road starts from the capital city in the lake and goes to the Atotonilka state in the northeast.
Then it was transported a hundred miles to the front line. Although there was no convenient waterway and the mountains had to be crossed, the transportation distance was very short, only a total of more than two hundred miles.
In fact, the territories of the Alliance and the Tlaxcalans were only separated by the steep eastern mountains, so they were almost within easy reach and could be regarded as a provincial battle for the Celestial Empire.
The frontal strength of the Southern Route Army was 50,000. The Kingdom of the Lake sent out 8,000 Guaquili legions, 7,000 Guards corps, and 5,000 Tecos surrender troops, totaling 20,000 people. The Texcoco Lake District sent out a
The royal regiment consists of an actual six thousand warriors. The three southern states of the alliance each have a regiment of eight thousand warriors, of which the number of city-state warriors is probably less than half.
Obviously, the main force of the South Route Army is the Kingdom Legion, and the auxiliary force is the Royal Legion. The city-state legions can only be responsible for some corner directions and cooperate with the main attack.
As for the grain road of the Southern Route Army, it also starts from the capital city in the lake, passes through the southeastern Wactepec state, and then transfers two hundred miles to the front line, totaling about four hundred miles. This grain road is slightly longer, and is also in the
In the mountains, until the Tlaxcala people's mountain pass fortresses, there was the Talsas River to transport food. In order to maintain the logistics of the Southern Route Army, about 40,000 militiamen were needed.
Between the north and south roads, there are continuous blocking mountains. There are only a few passes in the mountains that can be climbed into the hinterland of the Tlaxcala people. King Avite did not let go of these dangerous passages and ordered the Iskali guards to
He and Tepopolo led four thousand warriors, broke in from the middle, looted and harassed everywhere.
"There are mountains to the north, mountains to the south, and mountains to the west... The Tlaxcala people hide in the Tlaxcala Valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and with large rivers flowing. Only to the east are they connected with the Totonac people
At the junction, the terrain is slightly flat, but also hilly... If you want to completely conquer the old enemy, the Tlaxcala people, you must attack the four states in the mountain from the north and the south and wipe out the tribal settlements in the mountain! Finally, attack the mountain city again.
Capture the Four Snakes City in Tlaxcala and completely occupy the enemy's ancestral land!..."
Xiulote looked serious and closed his eyes in deep thought. After more than three months of the army's expedition, he saw with his own eyes the dangerous terrain occupied by the Tlaxcalans, and a little worry came to his heart.
"Besieging a fortified mountain city and wiping out the settlements in the mountains... I'm afraid it won't be accomplished in one day! And if it is delayed for a long time, the reactions of all the ministries in the world..."
Na Xiu stroked her gently, but His Highness's expression remained serious. Her beautiful eyes turned moist as she looked at the young man's handsome and strong face.
"No...I can't do this. Your Highness is still fighting and needs to conserve energy..."
Thinking of this, Naxiu gritted her teeth and suppressed the desire in her heart. Then she turned her eyes away and looked at the book in front of His Highness, only seeing a few faint handwritings.
"Migration...outpost...food...ship?"
"Your Highness!"
The warrior captain Bertard stood outside the tent and replied in a deep voice.
"Black Wolf has sent an envoy here to report the military situation to you!"
"oh?!"
Hearing this, Shulot's spirit perked up. He opened his eyes suddenly, left Naxiu's service, and sat upright in the tent.
"Let him in!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After a while, a red-haired hunter hurried over and walked into the tent. With a happy face, he glanced at the situation in the tent, and
He knelt down directly in front of the king and shouted loudly.
"The brave and skilled Death Chief! Just when you conquered the female warriors, Chief Black Wolf captured the Shuigu Tribe! At this moment, all the women of the Shuigu Tribe will crawl at your feet and let you conquer them!
"
"..."
After hearing the messenger's words, Shulot was stunned for a few breaths, unable to react for a moment. After a moment, he was overjoyed and jumped up.
"Okay! Okay! Black Wolf did not disappoint me! Shuigu City is finally broken!!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the warrior commander's calm face.
"Your Highness, once Shuigu City is defeated, the two southern states of the Tlaxcala people will completely expose their hinterland and allow the southern legions to attack and plunder!"
"That's right! The two southern states will be free to attack and plunder! We can even seize the time to join forces with the Northern Route Army in advance to lay siege to the four Snake Cities!"
Shulot felt happy and nodded with satisfaction. He couldn't wait and unfolded the Tlaxcala map. Then, a bright look came into the king's eyes. He looked fifty miles behind Shuigu City, stretched out his hand and pressed hard, but he poked a hole.
"Next is...the holy city, Cholula!"
At the end of March, the important southern town of the Tlaxcala Alliance, Water Valley City, fell. All tribes in the world were shocked. The noble nobleman, Water Snake Acotel was beheaded by the black wolf formation, and his head was hung on the city wall. The Lord of Water Valley City, Black Snake Telko
Te then escaped by boat and headed north.
In Water Valley City, most of the more than 6,000 Tlaxcala warriors died in battle, more than 10,000 tribal militias surrendered, and the rest fled to the northern hinterland. The two southern states of Tlaxcala were thus opened, and the Nahua holy city of Cholula was exposed.
