In order to allow his father to escape smoothly, Dmitry and his own soldiers resisted hard, so that Antigonus and most of the troops withdrew, but Dmitry was captured because of a leg injury, he was unwilling to be humiliated, he wanted to cut himself off, but remembering his father's last words, he gave up, his father gave birth to him in his 40s, he really couldn't bear to leave his father, and his wife, he was so virtuous, and his son Antigonus Jr., he was so young, he hadn't even had time to call himself a father. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 As a result, this historical figure became Alexander's captive.

There were not many Minander troops attacking from the west gate, and it was not long before they were beaten back, but when they returned, they found that many ships were full of archers, and then Minand's army suffered heavy casualties, but there was nothing they could do about it. Seeing that there was no more chance of waterways, Menander had no choice but to rush with his army to the new city, which had no gates to the east, so they could make it all the way to the gates, but on the way to the bridge across the Euphrates, they left behind a large number of corpses. When he finally reached the new city, Menander found that Docamos was already waiting for him at the crossroads in the middle of the city. So, this former governor of Lydia and an old comrade-in-arms of Antigonus made a final fight. The result was, of course, a failure, and his men did not have the same death-defying spirit as he did, and when they were surrounded, most of them obediently laid down their weapons.

"Surrender, there is no need to risk your life for Antigonus, the king is more worthy of your service, don't forget where you come from. Have you forgotten King Philip and Alexander the Great? Now, as the supreme ruler of Babylon, King Alexander, who has the blood of Achilles and Hercules in his veins, is he not less worthy of your service than Antigonus? Docamos admonished.

"It's late! Is there a way back for me today? After the death of the first emperor, the empire was divided, the king became a puppet, and people's hearts were moved, so there is today's disaster. I am old, and I don't have the strength to serve anyone anymore, today's defeat is providential, I hope Your Majesty can really restore the former glory of the empire, I, Minander, am watching from heaven! Hahaha......" After saying that, Menander swung his knife and killed himself. This veteran who could have died well ended his life in this way, and his heart was conflicted, and in the end, too.

However, although Antigonus failed in the sneak attack, he did not lose too much, and the biggest loss was his son and his old buddy Menander, whose son was captured, and Minander had no news at all. However, because he still had a large number of cavalry and war elephants, when the young Ptolemy saw the opponent's cavalry formation, he did not attack rashly, because Antigonus detected it early and withdrew from the city in time, so that the cavalry and infantry quickly converged. But at this time, Antigonus noticed that there were a few people missing.

"What about Thiophoranus?" Antigonus asked, "Look at me, look at you, and no one knows why the former governor of Babylon disappeared at this time." Just then, shouts were heard in the distance.

"Oh no!" One of the soldiers ran up to Antigonus out of breath, and after a few breaths, said, "General, Séthigus is running!" This is his letter to you. The soldier said as he handed the letter to Antigonus.

Brother Antigonus, providence makes people, thinking back to the past, I was equivalent to the emperor, but unexpectedly, the first emperor collapsed in the middle way, and the empire began to be in chaos. None of the generals had the power to unify the empire, and only my brother was close to subjugating Eurasia, but unexpectedly, when our invincible army was about to surrender to Eumenes, the son of the emperor suddenly appeared. No one knew that such a young man might have such a power to resist my army of 60,000 with Babylon. Time also, life also! At this point, our covenant has no meaning, and my brother has said goodbye. My brother is also old, and I hope to go back smoothly and enjoy the blessings as soon as possible.

Say goodbye to Sethigu!

In the letter, Sethigu expressed his helplessness, said that he would not fall into the ground, and advised him to stop making unnecessary resistance, and return to Phrygia as soon as possible, and live his life. After reading the letter, Antigonus seemed very calm and did not get angry at all, the so-called tree fell and scattered, he knew this truth. After a long time, Antigonus ordered the whole army to abandon all baggage except food and retreat at full speed. Thus, the worst battle of the Macedonian Civil War finally came to an end. Antigonus lost nearly two-thirds of its army, leaving only a large number of cavalry and infantry with extremely low morale, and thus lost the ability and opportunity to compete for hegemony in Asia. Alexander, on the other hand, managed to hold Babylon, losing less than a third, and gaining a large number of prisoners and supplies, and most importantly, he established the authority of the king, and became a veritable king from then on, plus the army of Eumenes, he would have an army of more than 60,000 men at his disposal, which was unmatched by any country except China and India, and was able to match the military strength of Alexander the Great at the time of the Battle of Gaugamela. The Ajid dynasty is rising again, and the course of history has been completely turned upside down, but no one knows what the original history was like, they only know that Alexander IV, the son of Alexander the Great, was no less king than his father.

"General, what should we do now?" Ovagoras tentatively asked Antigonus, who was silent, as he was gloomy from the bitter defeat.

"This is the end of the matter, and I have to go back to Medes. Alexander will not let me go, and I must go back and reorganize the army so that he can fight again one day. Pei Song suddenly burst out of a sentence, in his opinion, following Antigonus back to Phrygia, he will always be subject to others, this is not his personality, it is better to go back to his fiefdom comfortably, even if he can only live the life of the boss for a few days, it is worth it for him. One day, Alexander will attack, and he will surrender or surrender, and then he will talk about it, and follow Antigonus to mix, and he will also be unable to avoid facing Alexander's army in the future.

Peisong's words caught Antigonus's attention, and the two looked at each other for a long time, laughing out loud. At the end, Antigonus calmed down and said, "Our alliance was originally to fight for world domination, but now that we no longer have the ability to try the world, it is time to go our separate ways. May Zeus bless you, my brother, and hope that you will have a bright future. ”

No one knows if what Antigonus said to Peisong at the end was true, because these two people always used each other and were wary of each other. However, Pei Song did not have good luck, Alexander knew Pei Song too well, he was a guy who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so his fate was already predestined, it was just the length of time. The only difference from history is that Peizon did not die so quickly, nor was he booby-trapped by Antigonus, and he would have caused a lot of trouble for our king.

The fateful World War of Asia finally came to an end, and when the dawn shone on the earth again, the entire city of Babylon was no longer tense as before, only scattered soldiers and civilians were collecting and carrying corpses, and then concentrated on burning. Civilians who had lost loved ones in the war sobbed and wept nearby, but the grief of these people did not contag any more joy, because the great victory had immersed almost everyone in the joy of victory.

Standing at the top of the Temple of Marduk, Alexander looked out over the city, and at this moment he felt a sense of royal glory. He led all the ministers and nobles of various tribes to pay homage to the god Marduk, accompanied by sacrifices. Although some of the generals of the Macedonians and Greeks were not interested in foreign people, they also knew what it meant to respect culture under the influence of Alexander. Alexander, who had an imperial feeling, naturally knew what he had to do, and he had a deeper consciousness than his predecessor. Three days later, he ordered the construction of the temple of Zeus in the northeast corner of the city, and Babylon became a city of freedom, you can believe in Zeus, you can believe in Marduk, or even Melgar or Amun.

Concentrate:

Antigonus the Younger: that is, the later Antigonus II, the founder of the Antigonus dynasty of Macedonia.

Melgar: The chief god of worship in some parts of Syria and Asia Minor, with the same status as Zeus.
