Chapter 819

Episode 819: Siege of Tenochtitlan (5)

The Messica warriors shouted and charged.

Lee Jing-ok, standing on the cart, checked the signal from Bhikkhu and looked at the battlefield with a monocle.

“What a mess...” Lee Jing-

ok smiled more and more bitterly as he watched the chaotic charge of the Messika warriors running towards him while shouting.

“So it’s better for us. Signal! “Proceed as planned!”

“yes!”

In response to Lee Jing-ok’s order, the staff conveyed the order to messengers.

After a while, the indigenous allied forces advancing from the front began to split into left and right, emptying the middle.

“They are running away!”

“Tear it apart completely!”

As the indigenous allies began to empty the center, the Messica warriors increased their momentum even more.

The inexperienced boys were excited and started running forward recklessly.

The problem was the experienced warriors and the former captive slave warriors. Normally, the warriors would have realized right away that splitting like that was a sign.

However, out of fear and desperation for the conquering army, they lost their senses and ran forward unconditionally, shouting after the boys.

At some point, the indigenous coalition was completely divided in two and became a wall blocking the left and right sides of the Messica warriors.

No, it was not a wall, but a funnel that pushed the Messica warriors into the entrance of the conquering army.

And the defensive wall of the conquering army appeared in the eyes of the madly charging Messika warriors.

Behind a low defensive wall built using batteries made of nearby earth and sand, a boxcar and the muzzle of a rifle were waiting for them.

And behind the muzzles were the eyes of the conquering army soldiers aiming at the Messika warriors.

“Let go!”

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!

* * *

The defensive wall built by the conquering army had a hollow shape on the inside.

According to that shape, the Messica warriors had no choice but to push deep inside and were caught in the crossfire of the waiting conquering army and were cut apart.

However, the Messika warriors continued to charge recklessly toward the low barrier in front of them.

There were other reasons for their reckless rush besides desperation.

Just before the Messican warriors charged, Akon cut off the causeway to Tenochtitlan before their eyes.

“Until all enemies are defeated! We can’t go back! You can’t run away! “All you can do is kill all those strangers!”

There was only one thing the Mesica warriors could do as they saw the causeway broken in front of them and listened to Akon’s words.

To kill all those strangers.

* * *

They attacked the desperate Baejin lines and charged without fear of death, but the difference in firepower could not be overcome.

The Messica warriors collapsed in vain under the rain of bullets rained down by the conquering army.

The boys who charged in most passionately and with the greatest recklessness were the first to die.

Experienced warriors jumped in, taking advantage of the short gap between the fire trucks and the ammunition that had been expended while killing the boys.

It was a tactic that utilized what was experienced through previous battles.

However, the conquering army opposing them had also transformed from clumsy volunteers to seasoned soldiers through the previous battle.

While the soldiers were loading the cartridges of the rifle, the soldiers next to them simultaneously pulled the triggers of their rifles and threw the projectiles.

* * *

The Messika warriors rushed forward recklessly in a do-or-die situation, but at some point they began to retreat.

To be precise, it did not retreat, but began to collapse under the continuous fire of the conquering army.

Lee Jing-ok, who confirmed that the morale of the Messika warriors was not only broken but also suffered huge troop losses, gave an order to his staff.

“Now we have to attack their base. “Tell the guys who were hanging out to pay for their meal.”

“Yes General!”

Following Lee Jing-ok’s orders, the artillery pieces of the conquering army, which had been silent so far, began firing at once.

bang! Quack! bang!

The target of the conquering army’s guns was the main camp of the Messicans behind them.

The artillery of the conquering army once again demonstrated ‘artistic bombardment’.

The artillery of the conquering army cut the camp of Messika warriors into small pieces.

-Traffic routes and waterways toward Chapultepec were cut off.

-The causeway north of Tenochtitlan was cut off.

Montezuma and the leaders looked gloomy as they continued to hear the grim news.

“I think the only answer is surrender.”

“Is it just surrender?”

As Montezuma and his leaders were converging towards surrender, another news arrived.

-The guys attached to the strangers killed all of our warriors!

-The units still remaining in the north have begun to advance south!

Montezuma and the leaders put their heads together again in response to the newly received information.

“Even if you surrender, you will die...”

“The army is coming down from the north again, and the main force of the Gentiles is in the south...”

The measure chosen by Montezuma and the leaders was ‘resistance’.

“Hold on until the northern army arrives!”

“If you endure, you will win!”

* * *

The ‘southward advance of the remnants of the Messika army’ also reached the ears of the Allied forces.

“That was the last defeat that made those bastards endure.”

Lee Jing-ok, who received the report, smiled and looked at the situation.

After the victory in the last battle, the size of the indigenous allied forces easily exceeded 100,000.

This was thanks to the fact that the surrounding indigenous tribes and cities, which had been paying attention until now, quickly joined the allied forces.

This was because they now knew for sure who the new ruler of this region was.

“Then...”

“Now is your chance for revenge!”

In order to impress the new ruler, he joined the allied forces to avenge the damage suffered by the Messicans over the past time.

Lee Jing-ok, who was analyzing the situation, smiled and gave an order to his staff.

“Tell all the native chiefs to gather together.”

“Yes General!”

* * *

Lee Jing-ok, who gathered all the indigenous leaders, starting with the Tlaxcaltec leaders, explained the situation and concluded as follows.

“... Therefore, if we just deal with these Messicans advancing south, our victory is certain. So I will send troops to intercept them. First, we will select 10,000 men from our conquest army. “What are you going to do?”

Native leaders, who heard the defectors’ story through their interpreters, raised their hands.

“We will bring our warriors to join us!”

“So do we!”

“Give our warriors a chance! “Our warriors are no less excellent warriors than the Messika warriors!”

Native leaders desperately tried to get their warriors to join them.

This was the result of political calculation.

The tribes that joined first, starting with the Tlaxcaltec, wanted to protect their political interests as first movers, and the latecomers wanted to appeal themselves through this battle.

In the end, about 50,000 Allied forces, including 10,000 of the conquering army, set out to intercept the last of Messika’s forces advancing south from the north.
