Chapter 41: The Fall of the City
"Hahaha......" At the head of the city, Tyr was laughing, because he had just burned the battering ram with oil, and the Macedonian soldiers who had been burned to it let out a scream, and the soldiers who were contaminated with oil and caught fire could not extinguish the fire on their bodies, and finally died in agony. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe rest of the soldiers all fled.
"Damn! They actually have oil too, and now it's troublesome. Alexandre was very angry and at the same time very worried. But his worries were a little unfounded.
"Kill--" A large group of Macedonian soldiers rushed towards the city gate, and several guards at the city gate looked at the group of fierce Marines in fear, and their bodies trembled, because they knew that there was obviously a large number of soldiers resisting the Macedonians just now, but it was not long before they were gone, and this group of men rushed towards them naked, with their teeth and claws, as if they were going to eat them alive.
"What sound?!"
"General, it's not good, there are shouts of killing from the city, and all the soldiers of our Macedonian army have been wiped out!"
"What! How can this be, we are three times as many as them! Tyr was amazed, he couldn't believe that his soldiers would be so defeated, less than a third of his Macedonian soldiers, and so quickly, he looked back at the mighty Macedonian soldiers, and sighed leisurely: "It's over, it's over, it's all over!" ā
"General, what now?"
"Everybody go down and fight with them!" Tyre, though desperate, still wanted to make a last-ditch effort, and as the Supreme Commander, he did his duty.
None of the soldiers on the walls were left, and Alexander, knowing that the last hour had come, for they would not have been able to remove them all if it had not been for the seriousness of the situation, so he called a new group of men and continued to push the battering rams to ram the gates.
At the same time, Ares and his party had already attacked another city gate, and Ares's bravery caused the Tyre soldiers to retreat one after another, and he continued to break through the enemy's small forces one by one with superior forces, and advanced to the vicinity of the city gate, echoing the siege force of Atalus outside the city. Dochemos, on the other hand, entered the inner city at the beginning, so he continued to cause killing and chaos in the inner city, which was originally small in the first place, and he soon took control of the executive palace and its surrounding area, and a large number of civil officials and their families were captured, but it also attracted a counterattack from the enemy army.
"Boom!" A new round of impact has begun.
"Damn, here you go up again, you guys go up and destroy the battering ram for me." Tyr said helplessly.
"But General, now that we're already tight, if I send people up, will you be able to resist it?"
"Hurry up for me, I'm not dead yet, what are you anxious about?"
"Yes, sir!"
At this time, a pair of eyes were already fixed on Tyr, who gave the order, and the latter, unaware of it, continued to direct the battle. But the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the ownership of the island is about to be changed, and the capture of the new city by the Macedonian army is a foregone conclusion.
"Flutter!" One of the Tyre soldiers in front of Tyr fell, Seris found Tyre, he knew that the person in front of him was the commander of this group of people, so he raised the plate axe and slashed over, a soldier saw this and immediately raised his sword to the top, but it was split in half by a huge force, Tyr saw everything that happened, and was immediately startled, knowing that it could not be violated, so he made up his mind to die, raised the long sword in his hand and slashed over, Seris saw that the other party actually dared to attack him, so he raised the plate axe in his left hand to block it. With a "bang", the sword was bounced back, and Ceris slashed it with an axe in his right hand, and Tyr just withdrew the sword, and before he could react, he saw a cold light pressing into his forehead, and then with an "ah", he fell in a pool of blood.
"Your commander is dead, don't surrender quickly, and those who dare to resist will be killed!" Cellis splattered with blood and roared like a demon, scaring all the soldiers around him. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, a timid person put down the weapon in his hand first, so there was a sound of "bang-la-la", and everyone put down the weapons in their hands.
On the flagship of the Macedonian fleet, Alexander stared blankly at the city in front of him, thoughtful.
"Your Majesty, Alexander has captured the city gate to the southeast." A soldier rushed over to report to Alexander. ā¦,
"Got it, you go down." Alexander was very calm, with no expression on his face.
"Yes." The soldier retreated in a huff.
It didn't take long for the death of the commander to reach the northeast gate, and the soldiers who learned of the commander's death had no intention of fighting and fled to the city, and the walls of the east gate were quickly knocked down. However, most of the people who fled to the city were blocked by Ares, and the blocked soldiers did not put up any resistance at all and immediately surrendered. However, at this time, the most stressful was Docamos, a large number of soldiers poured into the inner city, which put a lot of pressure on him, but he tried not to provoke them, because he had already guessed that the city was broken, because the soldiers who entered the inner city were panicked, not aggressive to crusade against him.
After an hour, the city gradually became quiet, and the streets could occasionally be heard barking and scolding. More than 1,000 Tyre soldiers were killed, and the rest were captured or surrendered. The Macedonian soldiers suffered more than 400 casualties, most of whom were marines. They played an extremely important role in the capture of the new city, but the continuous hand-to-hand combat caused them to suffer inevitable losses.
It was dawn when the battle ended, and Alexander entered the city to the cheers of his soldiers. The first thing he did when he entered the city was to gather the people of the city to the square to give a lecture. At this time, the sky was still bright, and many people gathered to the edge of the square in fear with their tired bodies in tow, their faces full of doubts and fear. You can imagine how they survived last night.
"Citizens of Tyre, I am Alexander the King of the Macedonian Empire, and I am sorry for what happened last night, and I have scared everyone for a night. As a vassal state of the Macedonian Empire, Tyre is my people, and there should never have been a war. However, some people turned a deaf ear to the edicts of the Ajid dynasty of the Macedonian Empire, and dared to confront the army of the empire, so I have to teach me a lesson. Now that the city is broken, you, as civilians, I will not hold you accountable, and you can go on with your life. In addition, I will issue some reasonable laws to make everyone's life better. ā
The new city was quickly settled, Polybecon was placed to stay in the city to do the aftermath, and Alexander buried the brave and dedicated soldier on a hill outside the city to the west, and Epicurus recorded his deeds, so that his deeds were widely circulated. Alexander approached the coast with his fleet, and the armies of Attalus, Alexander, and Dochemos landed on the coast, and the army approached the city of Ussius. At this time, Laomedon also came to the city and asked the generals defending the city to meet with the senators.
