Aztec Eternals

The howling arrows staggered back and forth, and the fierce shouts echoed in the valley. The sun slanted slightly to the west, the mountains cast heavy shadows, and a faint blood wafted in the wind.

The black wolf Toltek carried the battle flag and stood at the mouth of the valley a few miles away. He watched the shooting situation, his face gradually turned cold. The Valley Dogs have superb shooting skills and occupy camps and terrain. The advantage of the longbows of the legion archers was offset, and they were gradually at a disadvantage in the confrontation. Hei Lang looked at it for a while, raised his sword eyebrows, and waved the command flag again.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of war drums accelerated suddenly, accompanied by the sound of sharp flutes. The five hundred vanguard barbarians were wearing cotton armor and had been waiting for a long time. They all let out a loud roar, praising the name of the Lord God. Then, the barbarians charged towards Taniguchi's camp from nearly a hundred paces away with rattan cards in one hand and bronze spears in the other.

Although the terrain of Taniguchi camp is high, it is not particularly steep. In fact, it is just a slope. The vanguard barbarians strode forward, quickly rushed through the loose formation of archers, approached within fifty steps, and quickly rushed up the slope.

"Doo-doo! Rapid fire!"

Seeing the barbarians rushing past him, Joliki blew his bone whistle hastily again.

Feathered arrows "swish", suddenly soared like birds, and landed on the camp in pieces. The legionary archers were speeding up their fire, suppressing the houndspawn in the camp. The dog descendants screamed, but the rain of arrows became much smaller all of a sudden.

Joliki removed the shield and looked carefully at the opposite side, his pupils contracted suddenly. He saw many conspicuous red-haired warriors, not drawing their bows, staring silently at the approaching barbarians in the charge, as if patiently waiting for their prey.

Outside the valley, Toltek was smiling. He saw that the vanguard soldiers were almost unscathed, and they rushed to within twenty steps of the camp, and they were about to climb up the camp.

"Didi, whoosh!"

Hei Lang's smile suddenly froze. A piercing bone whistle sounded in an instant, accompanied by the shrill sound of arrows piercing the air. Then, the charging barbarians fell down suddenly, and the screams of dying were violent in an instant. With a distance of twenty steps, the red-haired warriors accurately avoided the cotton armor and shot the barbarians in the head, face and neck, and more than thirty brave pioneers fell to the ground.

Afterwards, hundreds of dog-born warriors roared loudly, holding stone spears and hammers in their hands, rushed out of the simple gate of the camp, and fought with the vanguard barbarians. A dog-born warrior swung a stone hammer with both hands and smashed it at the shield of a young barbarian with all his strength, barely defending it. The barbarian smiled disdainfully, blocked it with his shield, and then stabbed the copper spear deeply into the dog-born's chest and abdomen.

However, the dying dog-born was like a wild beast, not retreating but advancing, roaring and hugging the spear pierced into the chest and abdomen, and grabbing the arm behind the spear. Another dog-born warrior immediately rushed forward, swung the stone hammer, and smashed it on the shoulder of the barbarian. The barbarian howled and bowed his body immediately, like a curled up shrimp, and then came head-on with another hammer, and the howling stopped abruptly.

Seeing this tragic scene, the middle-aged barbarian beside him with red eyes pulled out a bronze spear and stabbed the dog-born who had exhausted his strength with a stone hammer to death. Another dog descendant held a stone spear again, and threw himself forward. The middle-aged barbarian quickly took a step back, raised his shield to block it, and then stabbed the spear with his backhand, stabbing the dog to death!

After all, the vanguard barbarians are selected elite soldiers. They are proficient in martial arts, nimble and nimble, coupled with excellent equipment, they quickly gained an absolute upper hand in close combat.

However, the red-haired warriors in the camp were merciless, not caring about the possibility of accidental injury at all, and just shot arrows fiercely down the slope. These deadly hunters squinted their eyes and continuously shot sharp bone arrows, accurately hitting the vital points of the barbarians at such a short distance. Growling, the brutes fell suddenly, dead with the houndspawn, corpses piled on top of each other.

The rapid drum beats kept urging the attack, and the fighting in front of the Taniguchi camp became more and more brutal. Joliki continued to move forward with the archers, approaching and shooting at the hunters in the camp, and the casualties on both sides rapidly expanded. The arrows only continuously took away life, and also consumed the morale and physical strength of both sides.

Toltek frowned and remained silent. After watching the fight for two moments, the charge in front of the camp showed no signs of breaking through. The two sides squeezed each other, and gradually became a protracted war of attrition. Although nearly 600 of the dog descendants died in battle, most of them were tribal fighters and ordinary young men, and the red-haired elites suffered little damage.

However, the thousand-man battalion that went out to fight fell a total of 300 people. Half of them were militia archers shooting at each other, and the other half were warriors charging. Light-armed archers are easy to replenish, simple to equip, and casualties are actually insignificant. The vanguard barbarians are selected royal guards, and they are directly under him, how can they be so wasted!

Thinking of this, Hei Lang clenched his hands and shook his head slowly.

The special valley terrain limited the projection of troops from both sides and limited the scale of frontline battles. Although there are 8,000 people in the Central Army, only about 1,000 people can be invested in the front line of the battle. The same is true of the Dogborn, and a large number of warriors are gathered behind the camp to wait. Once the battle is carried out with the tribe as a unit, it will cover up the weakness of the canines who are not good at cooperating, and instead play out their advantages in small-scale battles.

"We can't fight like this anymore. The crossbowmen come out to cover! The conch horn is sounded, and thousands of forwards retreat!"

Toltek took a deep breath and waved the command flag. The five hundred temple crossbowmen strode forward, and when they were more than a hundred steps away from the entrance of the valley, they separated their legs and stood still, holding up their heavy crossbows with both hands. Under the puzzled eyes of the dog-borns, they suddenly raised their heads together and fired a wave of ferocious crossbow bolts.

"Shhhhhh!"

Sharp crossbow arrows came from all over the sky, shot at the head of the camp, and then "aggressively" nailed it to the wooden base. More than a dozen dog-born hunters died on the spot, including several red-haired warriors. The dog descendants in the camp were instantly suppressed, and the conch horn to retreat immediately sounded. The vanguard barbarians retreated while fighting, shouting to each other, and retreated out of the shooting range of the camp.

The dog-born fighters who attacked still wanted to continue pestering. However, once they left the narrow valley entrance and escaped from the cover of the camp hunters, the exchange ratio with the barbarians rose sharply, and their morale dropped rapidly. While retreating, the vanguard barbarians swung their weapons and killed hundreds of dog descendants, and the retreat horn sounded from the camp.

The Temple Crossbowman fired ten rounds in a row before stopping. The temple crossbowmen retreated with the archers, and the heavy crossbows and longbows were mixed together, colliding with each other from time to time. The crossbow bolts used for kicking the heavy crossbow need to withstand several times the pressure, so strong hardwood must be used. Compared with the wooden poles and reed poles used for ordinary bows and arrows, the arrow shafts of crossbow arrows are more expensive and more laborious to manufacture.

In this Northern Expedition, the longbow is powerful enough to face lightly armored or even unarmored dog descendants. For these reasons, the crossbow bolts carried by the coalition forces are very limited, and they cannot shoot indiscriminately.

"Red Fox Valley, Red Cat Tribe"

Toltek stared at the lynx banner on the camp, lost in thought. There are tens of thousands of dog descendants in the valley, and it is really difficult to occupy the ground and hold on. Hei Lang frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Mespa beside him again.

"Mespa, call the nobleman you mentioned before, I want to inquire carefully!"

Mespa summoned a few nobles who escaped from the valley, and explained in detail what happened that day, the fighting situation of the dog descendants, and the surrounding terrain.

After listening for a while, Hei Lang's eyes lit up. He grabbed the middle-aged Otomi nobleman in front of him.

"Iko, you said just now that the north and south mountains of the valley have narrow mountain roads that can pass hundreds of warriors?"

"Yes, Captain Black Wolf. Although the northern and southern mountain ranges are high, there are mountain roads to be explored. It's just that the northern mountain range is slightly gentler and easier to pass than the south. The Palmers scouts often scout the valley from the mountain road. That day Guaji Liren also sneaked into hundreds of red-haired soldiers from the northern mountain road, causing chaos in the valley. In the past half month, scouts from both sides have often fought in the mountains. In order to complete your investigation order, I damaged several elite soldiers Family warrior!"

The middle-aged nobleman Iko felt distressed. Toltek thought for a moment, then grabbed Iko's arm, but asked a question that made him even more frightened.

"Iko, you are an Otomi nobleman who was born in the valley, and you are very familiar with this place. The Guakili dogs occupied your fief, killed your tribe, and have a great hatred with you! Don't you Don't you want revenge?"

Heilang paused, staring into Iko's eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"I'll give you five hundred Parmus warriors who are familiar with the terrain! You enter from the mountain path, join forces with the army, and take advantage of the darkness to attack Taniguchi's camp from behind. Although this attack is dangerous, as long as it succeeds, it will be a great achievement piece! I will personally report your name to His Highness! How about it, dare you?!"
