The Spanish had their work cut out for them. Who did they defeat upon arrival to Tenochtitlán?

Cortés made nice with the Aztecs when arriving in Tenochtitlán. He was received kindly by Aztec ruler, Montezuma, but he had no intention of returning that kindness. For 93 days, the Spanish army, alongside some local tribes, laid siege to the Aztec capital and, due to the smallpox they brought with them and to better arms, they conquered Tenochtitlán.
