Aztec Warfare
In the city of Tenochtitlan ,the army of the Aztecs are preparing for war. Much like modern times the Aztecs had rankings in their armies. The jaguar and the eagle were the best warriors. The jaguars wore tight fitting suits,jaguar skin,and jaguar jaws. They wore the jaws on there head like a hat and their face was inside the jaws. The eagles wore gaping beaks,eagle shaped helmets,and thick amour. Before the Aztecs went to war they would do many things for preparation. The Aztecs always gave their enemies three chances to surrender,if they didn't surrender the Aztecs would attack. Before the wars the Aztecs sent spies to count the enemy numbers and to look at there equipment. When they had prepared for war they sent 3 groups each a day apart. In the first day they would send the captains and their best warriors. The next day they would send priests. On the final day they would send the regular troops. The Aztecs had a variety of weapons that they used in battle. They used spears,bows,arrows ,and slings for battles at a distance. For close up battle the Aztecs used two handed swords. They used obsidian to make arrowheads,swords,and spear points. The Aztec's rank,preperation,and weapons are how the Aztecs advanced their warfare.
