On the evening of January 14, on the east bank of the port of the Nile Delta.

Under the cover of the Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Regiment of the Gelong Kingdom and the Fifth and Sixth Crossbow Cavalry Corps of the Gelong Family, the Seventh and Eighth Crossbow Cavalry Corps of the Gelong Family, and the Second Catapult Engineer Legion began to use rafts to cross the Nile.

Large-scale river crossing, the Neo-Babylonian fortress naturally knew.

However, because it was dark and could not see the situation in the West Bank clearly, the army of the Neo-Babylonian fortress did not dare to move.

In this way, the Gelong Army got another start.

January 15, morning, fine.

The 2nd Catapult Engineer Regiment of the Gronn Army launched a large catapult to launch iron oil canisters, which exploded in the clearing, and the rising flames could be seen clearly in the Neo-Babylonian fortress about ten kilometers away, not to mention the surrounding legions.

In the face of such a weapon that was beyond the reach of manpower, the morale of the legions plummeted.

The shield array of the heavy armor is absolutely unstoppable.

There was only one battle, and regardless of casualties, a fierce charge destroyed the twelve large trebuchets.

But in the face of the crossbows of five legions, with eight legions of charge, that is not a charge, that is to die.

Even if all the legions of the Neo-Babylonian fortress were to attack, there was no chance of victory.

"Boom!"

This time, an iron oil tank fell in front of the heavy soldiers, the meaning is obvious, if you don't retreat, then the next one may fall in the formation.

Withdraw.

Under the suppression of the Gelon army, the legions of the Neo-Babylonian fortress slowly shrank around the large camp outside the fortress.

The sky was slowly darkening, and the faces of the upper echelons of the Neo-Babylonian fortress were on their faces.

The Gelon army again persuaded them to surrender, giving the Neo-Babylonian fortress an hour to consider.

The Neo-Babylonian Fortress wanted to play tricks and reply for at least two days, as they needed to contact the Palyusiam Fortress.

In fact, he wanted to wait for the naval army to land in the Cyrene area, and the Gelong army would withdraw and return to defense, and then there would be a chance of victory.

The Gelong army here didn't know this, but Yamazaki's order was an hour, so it was only an hour.

An hour later, the entire army of the Neo-Babylonian fortress went into battle, along with hundreds of thousands of non-warrior slaves in the city.

For the upper echelons of the army, to ask them the noble men of Eastern Rome to surrender en masse to the barbarians, their honor made it impossible for them to do it.

The hoplites rode on horses with horse armor, and a tragic atmosphere swelled in the whole army.

And the slaves, looking flustered, at a loss, and some even cried loudly.

At this time, winds rose in favor of the Eastern Roman legions, and rain began.

Yamazaki and Mei Daiko both sensed the divine power, guessing that Zeus intervened, and the two couldn't help but pout, this is cheating in broad daylight.

The horn of war sounded, charged.

The first to attack were the slaves, and in the rush of death from the bows and arrows of the slave archers behind them, rushed to the Grons, who were only victims of the crossbows, but they had no choice.

They ran and stopped, and gradually entered the range of the crossbow cavalry of the Gron, which was shortened by the wind.

When the first wave of crossbows took the lives of a large number of slaves, the slave archers behind them scattered and charged, and they were the targets of the second round.

While there were a lot of slave archers who fell, there were also some slave archers who rushed into the range of the bow alive, which was increased by the wind.

When the slave cavalry archers rushed into range of their bows and arrows, they bent their bows and arrows to return fire in the hope of disturbing the Grons.

As the slave archers met the rain of crossbows and were almost destroyed, behind them, the 1st All-Purpose Hussar Regiment of the Neo-Babylonian Fortress charged.

They are the third round of targets, and they hold a shield in one hand and a wooden crossbow in the other.

However, the Gelong army did not dodge or dodge, did not hurry to shoot back and wound up, using the rolling and retreating hanging tactics, according to the formation of the distance, let the rain of arrows sprinkle on the body and horses, and the rain of arrows really splashed like rain.

The rain of bolts fell on the shields of the hussars, and at the same time, they raised their hands and shot the bolts from the wooden crossbows

The range of a wooden crossbow is less than that of a bow, and it is inconvenient to wind it when the horse is galloping, and the use of a wooden crossbow is a blow to interfere with the enemy's time.

They were able to get into range because of the wind, which was stronger.

The crossbow arrows of the wooden crossbow rained down, but these crossbow arrows that fell from the sky could not even pierce the alloy armor, leaving a shallow pit at most.

As the hussars approached, another round of alloy crossbow bolts switched to a direct shot, bringing down more hussars.

At this time, the heavy cavalry of the finale was also dispatched, and because they were afraid that the group charge would be hit by the iron oil tank, they used a skirmish charge.

The 8th to 157th All-Round Heavy Legions, two All-Round Heavy Corps in the Neo-Babylonian Fortress area, nine legions of 54,000 men, and the battle line stretched for nearly ten kilometers.

The wind and rain are getting heavier and heavier.

Generally speaking, the battle is stronger than that of the Heavy Corps, as the bow and crossbow can go wrong in rainy weather.

However, the alloy crossbow is not afraid of water, at most it affects the range.

In fact, the Geron Army Engineer Corps began to prepare when the Eastern Roman army was armoured, and at this time it had already withdrawn with trebuchets.

The Engineer Corps did not think at all about fighting field warfare with iron oil cans, and in Yamazaki's words, it was really not worth it to use siege weapons to beat people.

The sapper corps withdrew, and the crossbow cavalry retreated, and anyway, the sprint of the hoplites was not destined to last long.

But if you retreat and don't go, you will continue to hang, and the horses of the heavy cavalry will not be able to block the alloy crossbow arrows at all, even if you have horse armor.

It rained, the ground was muddy, and it was the same for both sides.

In terms of speed alone, the hoplites suffered somewhat.

Soon, cavalry turned into infantry.

And the heavy infantry, who have lost the advantage of the group, are only targets, their shields can block alloy crossbow arrows, but their armor is not.

A massacre.

Due to the heavy rain, the battle line was too long, the soldiers were scattered, and by the time the order to stop was passed to the individual, the massacre was over.

Human life and blood are worthless at this moment.

The blood of 100,000 people collected in the rain and flowed into the Nile, staining the entire stretch of the river red.

For war, it seems that only the dead enemy is the most valuable.

For the throne, it seems that it will always be built of blood and dry bones. ......

At noon, the fortress of Neo-Babylon fell, and the top of the legion fell to their knees trembling.

In the face of the slaughter of 100,000 people, the murderous spirit of the Gelong army, they were terrified to death.

And their fate, Yamazaki helped them decide, and tomorrow they will bring the sacrificial flag for 100,000 unjust souls who died in vain.

If it weren't for their luck, this one wouldn't have been able to fight at all.

When they put their minds to them, they did what they should have done, and the defeat was not the fault of the warriors who did not do their best. ......

Outside Alexandria, the camp of the Gronn army.

Midaiko grinned and helped Yamazaki rub his head to convince Yamazaki not to be angry.

Yamazaki slapped away Mei Daiko, spread out the parchment, and wrote a letter to mobilize troops.

At this point, there is no suspense in the battle.

Judging by these officials, the Eastern Roman Kingdom was indeed corrupt and degenerate.

Then, if possible, take it completely.

The Gelong Kingdom may not be the best choice for ordinary people, because it is also full of competition and needs to support themselves, but the Gelong Kingdom will at least respect the choices of ordinary people and will not let them die.

Knowing that he couldn't fight, he obviously had no purpose, and he clearly said that surrender was considered a civilian, but he didn't surrender, so he had to obey the order to fight and force the Gelong army to kill him.

What to say, I don't know.

No matter what kind of righteousness they are carrying, the deceased are gone, and all we can do is to record their names and let people know that there is such a battle here and now, and everyone has died in it.

Whether it is heroic or stupid, let future generations judge. ......
