Chapter 34 Two Victories (6)
The soldiers of Aztland ignored the tall towers outside the city, not because they were not eye-catching. However, the towers at night were not as full of soldiers as during the day, and they seemed to be pure lighting facilities. Although they seemed to be a little taller and more numerous as lighting facilities, these facilities were too scattered, and they were very troublesome to clean them with magic, and they didn't know what the meaning of cleaning them, so they were still chosen to ignore them.
Until Sompankin threw the spear out of the city wall - it flew high into the sky, penetrated the clouds, and then fell from the sky with the sound of breaking through the air, penetrating the head of a soldier.
As if he was ordered, hundreds of soldiers suddenly stood up in the seemingly deserted tower. They either held stone throwing ropes or spear throwing weapons and aimed at the Aztlan soldiers under the tower.
The soldiers were taught by General Sompankin and knew that projectiles flying from the front or left were susceptible to blocking by weapons or shields, so they targeted the Aztlan soldiers who had crossed the tower, or to the right of the Aztlan soldiers who had not crossed the tower, and threw thousands of stones and spears continuously from above the tower.
The moment the soldiers of these city-states stood up from the tower, the Aztland soldiers felt a little panic, and after the thrown objects were thrown out, they were even more unstoppable. Because their queue had already penetrated into the tower group, the projectiles flew from almost all directions, from the front, back, left and right. They blocked the front and couldn't block their backs, and the left and right sides were not concerned. One by one, the stones thrown out of the stones were blown away, and they were even more bloody when they were pierced through their bodies by spears after spear and fell to the ground.
They held ladders to climb the city walls in their hands, and even the towers themselves had ladders for people to go up and down. Some people tried to climb the towers to fight back, but spears flying from the other towers behind them shot them down from the ladders again and again. After a few times, no one was willing to climb the towers. Before an effective counterattack, Aztland's vanguard collapsed.
The soldiers of the city-state cheered, and everyone, including General Sompankin, saw hope of repelling the Aztland army.
However, when the sun rose, the elite leopard warriors appeared on the battlefield. Unlike last night's miscellaneous troops, they did not directly attack, but executed hundreds of slaves under the city walls, sipped human blood in front of the city-state soldiers, and ate human flesh raw.
This is a naked deterrence. Everyone knows that the Aztlans can replenish their magic by eating human blood and flesh. They are raising energy for the next battle.
Although it was far away, the soldiers on the city wall had already swallowed their saliva in fear.
"Don't panic." General Sompanjin calmed the soldiers' emotions. "Only magic above the second era can resist our stones and spears. Except for the leader, no one else can reach this level! Using the tower outside the city, we can defend it!"
These towers outside the city were built by Tochetpekban for more than ten years under the suggestion of Sompankin. From the beginning of construction, its goal was to resist the Leopard and Eagle Warriors troops in Aztland.
After taking human blood, every leopard warrior or eagle warrior has at least the magic of the Fourth Era. Many people even reach the Third Era. The mud walls have no defensive purpose in front of these elite warriors, and they will be knocked open a gap at will. But these towers are different. Their thickness is comparable to the city wall, but they are scattered, so that the collapse of any tower will not affect the operation of the other towers. If you ignore these towers, you will be attacked by throwing weapons from all directions like you did just now. To capture these towers, with the support of throwing weapons from adjacent towers, the leopard warriors will also pay a heavy price.
In addition, most of the soldiers in Tochetpek had received special training from Sompankin. Even if the leopard warriors were mixed with other soldiers, they could identify them from the crowd at a glance and use spear throwers to focus on them.
Compared to the city walls that were broken in one attack, these tall towers outside the city are the real fortresses in Tochetpek!
Under Sompankin's instigation, the morale of the soldiers of the city-state increased slightly. But then, a creepy bone whistle came from the Aztlan army - this was a routine ceremony performed by the priests before the war. Even if they heard it in their ears, they would make people tremble as if they were skinned and heartbroken.
The sun passed the walls and towers of Tochetpek and shone on the leopard warriors' queue. At that moment, the soldiers of Tochetpek saw in horror that the armor on these leopard warriors were shining like the sun!
The gloomy bone whistle stopped in the sun, and followed by the roar of the leopard warriors. Under the shining light, they officially launched an attack on Tochetpek!
"What are they going to do?" Sompanjin stared at the group of leopard warriors, "Do you want to demolish these towers one by one, or still go around?"
The leopard warriors still ignored the towers and rushed directly towards the city wall.
"You can't learn smart guys!" Sompanjin threw a spear down as usual, "Beat them hard!"
The soldiers on the tower stood up, threw the stones and spears down on the ground as before, and even moved faster. This time, the soldiers running under the tower were famous warriors, and they could celebrate for a long time if they could kill one.
However, they soon noticed the abnormality - the falling stones and spears did not have any killing effect on the group of leopard warriors. The leopard warrior was originally wearing cotton armor, but now he has a layer of mail outside. Even the iron spears have to take some effort to penetrate, let alone the stone spear polished with stones.
In the rain of bullets, Aztlan's leopard warriors were free to shuttle through the towers, step by step towards the bottom of the city wall. The towers that Tochetpek, which had been operating for more than ten years, could not stop them at all!
"Sir! Our spears have all bounced away, it's the Second Age! They all have magic from the Second Age!"
"This is impossible." Sompanjin shook his head. He put a stone spear on the spear thrower, aimed at an approaching leopard warrior, and threw the spear out with all his strength.
The spear thrower is an extremely simple machine, but it is amazingly powerful. In ancient times when the text had not yet appeared, humans used it to hunt giant beasts that were far larger than people. In the hands of Sompanjin, the stone spear that flew out was even more amazingly powerful. It hit a leopard warrior and knocked his body back several times.
However, after rolling, the leopard warrior climbed up again. Although he looked painful, the stone spear thrown by Sompanjin obviously failed to kill it. The perfect combination of cotton armor, mail, and the protection of the Sun God of War, made the leopard warrior survive unscathed from Sompanjin's spear throwing!
Sompanjin felt endless despair for a moment.
