Fifteenth chapter, where it is said how the Spaniards came from Itztapalapan when they reached Mexico.
Then they set out in this direction, about to enter Mexico here. Then they all dressed and equipped themselves for war. They girt themselves, tying their battle gear tightly on themselves and then on their horses. Then they arranged themselves in rows, files, ranks.
Four horse[men] came ahead, going first, staying ahead,

Chapter Fifteen, of how the Spaniards departed from Itztapalapan to enter Mexico.
The Spaniards departed from Itztapalapan all outfitted for war and ordered by squadrons. Some horsemen went ahead to see if there was some ambush; they also took the greyhounds ahead. Don Hernando Cortés went in the rear guard with many other Spaniards, all armed and in order. After them went the baggage and the artillery on its carriages. Many Indian warriors went along, with all their arms, many Tlaxcalans and Huexotzinca. In this order they

leading. They kept turning about as they went, facing people, looking this way and that, looking sideways, gazing everywhere between the houses, examining things, looking up at the roofs.
Also the dogs, their dogs, came ahead, sniffing at things and constantly panting.
By himself came marching ahead, all alone, the one who bore the standard on his shoulder. He came waving it about, making it spin, tossing it here and there. It came stiffening, rising up like a warrior, twisting and turning.
Following him came those with iron swords. Their iron swords came bare and gleaming. On their shoulders they bore their shields, of wood or leather.

In all the rest of this chapter, nothing is said except the order that the Spaniards and the Indian allies kept when they entered Mexico.

and file were horses carrying people, each with his cotton cuirass, his leather shield, his iron lance, and his iron sword hanging down from the horse's neck. They came with bells on, jingling or rattling. The horses, the deer, neighed, there was much neighing, and they would sweat a great deal; water seemed to fall from them. And their necks of foam splatted on the ground, like soapsuds splatting. As they went they made a beating, throbbing, and hoof-pounding like throwing stones. Their hooves made holes, they dug holes in the ground wherever they placed them. Separate holes formed wherever they went placing their hindlegs and forelegs.
The third file were those with iron crossbows, the crossbowmen. As they came, the iron crossbows lay in their arms. They came along testing them out, brandishing them, <aiming them>. But some carried them on their shoulders, came shouldering

the crossbows. Their quivers went hanging at their sides, passed under their armpits, well filled, packed with arrows, with iron bolts. Their cotton upper armor reached to their knees, very thick, firmly sewn, and dense, like stone. And their heads were wrapped in the same cotton armor, and on their heads plumes stood up, parting and spreading.
The fourth file were likewise horse[men]; their outfits were the same as has been said.
The fifth group were those with harquebuses, the harquebusiers, shouldering their harquebuses; some held them [level]. And when they went into the great palace, the residence of the ruler, they repeatedly shot off their harquebuses. They exploded, sputtered, discharged, thundered, <disgorged>. Smoke spread, it grew dark with smoke,

And last, bringing up the rear, went the war leader, thought to be the ruler and director in battle, like [among us] a tlacateccatl. Gathered and massed about him, going at his side, accompanying him, enclosing him were his warriors, those with devices, his [aides], like [among us] those with scraped heads [quaquachictin] and the Otomi warriors, the strong and valiant ones of the altepetl, its buttress and support, its heart and foundation.
Then all those from the various altepetl on the other side of the mountains, the Tlaxcalans, the people of Tliliuhquitepec, of Huexotzinco, came following behind. They came outfitted for war with their cotton upper armor, shields, and bows, their quivers full and packed with feathered arrows, some barbed, some blunted, some with obsidian points. They went crouching, hitting their mouths with their hands

Some bore burdens and provisions on their backs; some used [tump lines for] their foreheads, some [bands around] their chests, some carrying frames, some board cages, some deep baskets. Some made bundles, perhaps putting the bundles on their backs. Some dragged the large cannons, which went resting on wooden wheels, making a clamor as they came.
