After Akhoris was defeated, he received a letter from his friend Mahabar on his way back to the camp. He read the content and looked up at the scene in front of him, and sighed.

"Why should you take your fellow Egyptians and die for the alien Ponticians? Now that he has lost the battle, can that bastard of Tyranis spare the defeated generals? Yes, the people of Pontus don't trust us, but are they themselves good? No, Macedonia will win. ”

When Tyranis heard that Akhoris had also become a rebel, he was furious. And those Egyptian mercenaries who had worked hard to get from Siwa were punished by him for delaying the warplanes for three days without food. After that, he was sent to Alexandria and cooperated with the gendarmerie to stabilize the city. As a result of these events, Terlanese lost the hearts and minds of the Nile region, and Egyptian friendship was no longer there.

After a week's rest, Bendu once again made waves. In this short period of seven days, the Macedonian legions received valuable rest and replenishment. There were even a lot of Egyptian soldiers in the troops. The walls were rebuilt and thickened, with arrows, weapons, fresh water, grain and grass, and of course, reserves.

The Macedonian defenders expanded the fortress by two circles to stock up on food, and built two new lines of defense.

The two armies clashed three times, and Tyranis moved out of his entire family, and 100,000 elite heavy troops were all in battle. The Macedonian phalanx became more and more courageous, and they did not fear death on the battlefield when they escaped death. The Pontic tried to surround the enemy, but they could not get on the last side. The war in North Africa is at a stalemate.

The state of Polype discussed strategy with the Sith and agreed that it was not suitable to fight a field battle with the enemy at the moment, and that the enemy should be held back by relying on fortifications. The 100,000 elite men in North Africa are strong, well-equipped, mobile, and adept at large-scale movement warfare. Now forcing the opponent to fight in narrow streets or city gates greatly limits the advantage of the main force of his army.

But the Sith seemed destined to be the underdog in this battle, and his right-hand friend Polype died of illness in the barracks tent. This side has lost its most powerful general. The Sith could not have any extra generals to take over the Second Greek Army, and they were incorporated into the Patra Division.

Without strong foreign support, the Sith not only had to bear strong pressure, but also had to help Patra from time to time. In the end, they simply withdrew the troops outside the city and defended them together in the city. The Pontus elite brass shield phalanx was stronger than the normal phalanx spear formation, and the Macedonian warriors often counteracted their opponents' strengths through class coordination or hand-to-hand combat.

The fighting was fierce and protracted, and both sides were weak and weak. The warriors seemed to be in the dark and could not see the light. It was at this moment that the sacred Macedonian flag reappeared at sea.

"Your Majesty, we are about to arrive on the land of North Africa. Now that the tide of battle has changed, where do we choose to be the landing site? Please instruct. ”

The young chief of staff of the officer corps asked for instructions, and he was handsome, his eyes sincere and resolute. He was preparing to unfold the battle map for the Emperor, offering the options they had already worked on.

Podare Rios calmly replied: "Nile Delta." ”

"Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor already knows the geography of this place well?" The young officers admired the emperor even more.

"The previous obstacle is gone, and the coastal guard fleet in Pontus is eliminated. We rounded the battlefield and drove straight into the enemy's back to capture Alexandria. Sharpening knives and chopping wood, we have plenty of time to occupy a foothold. Then go and relieve the siege of the Sith King. ”

As a result, the landing field was not only gentle and spacious, but also met with no resistance. The enemy was completely unexpected. 70,000 main battle troops quickly went ashore and were assembled. Not far away, the outline of Alexandria has been revealed.

Podare Rios encouraged the young people and exclaimed, "Look at that, this is the place where our ancestor Alexander the Great once conquered. ”

In particular, the "boy scouts" who trained every day and had not yet experienced the cruelty of the real battlefield boiled and cheered. It seems that the young men still had romantic feelings for the war before they entered the war, and they did not know the taste of reality.

The troops did not stop for a moment and marched directly to the east, aiming at Alexander. The scouts surveyed the situation on the spot, which was consistent with the intelligence map, and the emperor began to assign combat missions. 10,000 Greek troops blocked the bridge and blocked reinforcements on the east bank of the Nile; 10,000 Roman troops acted as reserves, covering the direction behind the siege; The main siege of the city.

At that time, after Pontus made an expedition to Egypt, defeated the Pharaonic Janissaries of Nikho, and broke the Sinai Line, the Nile region lost the will to resist, and most of the Egyptians surrendered voluntarily. In recognition of the defectors, Mira III turned the Nile region into a new confederation area, retaining some Egyptian officials and continuing to administer the local cities. This is a foreshadowing of political chaos.

When Podarre Ríos' well-organized Janissary army pressed down on the city, the defender of Alexandria, Amastris, was terrified. First, he had never seen such a majestic and neat army, and second, his defenders were simply insufficient. He also knew that the Egyptian soldiers had been planning a rebellion for a long time, and the "support" sent by Tyranis had only fueled the arrogance of the rebellion. He simply could not count on the Egyptians. The Pontic soldiers numbered only seven hundred.

When the battle began, Macedonia set up a huge stone catapult outside the city, and bombarded it in unison. The defenders of Pontus felt the whole city shake.

As a result, the Macedonians had not yet knocked on the gates of the city, and smoke had already risen from the city. The Egyptian army and the Pontus army went to war first. I don't know whether it was the residents or the local soldiers, who opened the west and north gates of the city and issued a signal of surrender. Fearing deception, Podare Ríos carved two gaps in the north wall before entering the city.

The young and well-trained warriors of the Golden Army of the "Matrix" stormed the central square after taking down the city gates. Three strikes and five divisions by two, and the defenders of Pontus were slaughtered. They excitedly raised their weapons and cheered victory.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! ”

Outside Alexandria there was a Pontus barracks, which was the field corps that defended the city. They received a message for help before sending reinforcements in the direction of the city, but were intercepted and defeated by the Roman legions.

Tyranis's tent exploded, and the generals gathered to discuss countermeasures.

"Seeing that our side is about to annihilate the Eastern Mediterranean Army, how can we stop?"

"The Macedonian Emperor is also here, and this war is really lively. A king and an emperor, watch us capture them alive. Let the Macedonians become the laughing stock of the world. The Macedonian Empire burned to the ground. At that time, you will become the king of Pontus, and your prestige will surely spread all over the world. ”

"Podare Rios is not to be underestimated, and we cannot afford to underestimate the enemy. Some people describe him as carrying 70,000 elite soldiers like a pack of tigers, wolves and lions, and no one can stop him. This man had fought in several wars and was very resourceful. He is known as the leader of the lions. I'm not trying to make anyone else's power, I'm just reminding everyone that this person is extraordinary and that we have to face him squarely. ”

The atmosphere in the house is a bit solemn.
