Cassandrus returned to the camp late because Pyrus's scouts spotted the stalkers following the Arab army, and Cassandros seemed to understand something. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"The subordinates are incompetent and have not completed the task, please punish the general." As soon as Abdullah saw Kassandros, he confessed.

"Not only do you not deserve to be punished, but you must be rewarded."

"Why is that?"

"My men have spotted someone following your party."

"What, I didn't find it, alas......"

"It's not good if you find out." Cassandro said mysteriously.

"Why?"

"If no one is following you, then the operation may have failed."

"But since there are people following behind, then I dare to conclude that they must have a follow-up move, and if my prediction is correct, then they will definitely make a move tonight."

"You mean the night attack."

"Well, originally this was a very clever plan, the other party expected that we must have a foothold nearby, but what they didn't expect was that in addition to you Arab warriors, there were two thousand people waiting for them, which doomed this night attack to be clever but clever and mistaken."

"Hahaha, the general is clever! That being said, tonight will be a night of harvest. ”

"Yes, harvesting some cattle and sheep is nothing, harvesting Babylon is a great achievement!" Pyrus laughed.

"The wisdom of the general is as unfathomable as our goddess Ossa." Abdullah exclaimed heartily.

"What am I worth, the wisdom of our King is rare in the world, and his plans are unpredictable! And it is even more able to anticipate the enemy's opportunities everywhere. ”

"I wish I could see your king soon!"

"Yes, we will be able to meet him in less than half a month. The point is that you want to see him here or in the city of Babylon. ”

"Abdullah understands that I will let them come and go tonight."

"Hehe, you are the protagonist tonight, you have to act realistically, but don't really get drunk, you don't know how you died."

"Don't worry."

"Well, you go down first."

"Yes!" After saying that, Abdullah left confidently.

"Pyrus, it is estimated that it is still early, let's go and have a full meal first, and then remove all our camps, make arrangements in advance, send people to pay close attention to the movements of Babylon City, and report as soon as there is a situation. However, it was too dark at night to ensure that no one missed the net, and we didn't know the number of people on the other side. ”

"yes!"

"You said that if you take these captives under the city and threaten them, do you think they will open the city and surrender?"

"I'm afraid this won't work, Patrocles has the duty to defend the city, and he shouldn't surrender for the sake of some prisoners, unless we capture him, then maybe it's still possible."

"Forget it, I'll give you five hundred people, and keep their back roads tightly sealed, you know what to do."

"Understood."

"Get out of the way, spread it wider, and I must not leave my post without permission until I have control of the situation, and there will be no mercy for violators."

"Yes!"

"You know, if we run away from one, we're probably going to attack." Kassandreus patted Pyrus on the shoulder, both of them knew in their hearts that this was a crucial battle, and the burden on Pyrus was actually not lighter than that of Cassandros, because it was not difficult to defeat the enemy army, but it was definitely very difficult to destroy them all.

That night, Patrocles led 1,600 infantry and 800 cavalry slowly to the Arab camp, his scouts had already groped their way to the other side's camp, in order not to disturb these barbarians, Patrocles was cautious all the way, and the scouts opened the way first. Since many of them were infantry, his cavalry moved with the infantry, so that there would be no loud noise from galloping horses. …,

After two hours of traveling, Patrocles finally touched the vicinity of the Arab camp, the camp was surprisingly calm, which made Patrocles feel very strange, but seeing the Arabs lying on the ground in twos and threes, many of them holding wine jugs and barbecue meat, Patrocles was relieved, and with a wave of his hand, his men quickly surrounded the place, but before he could give the order to attack, their rear remembered the horn, and a large number of cavalry rushed over, and then countless arrows flew here. The Arabs, who were lying on the ground, all stood up in an instant, picked up their bows and arrows or broadswords, and rushed at the army of Patrocles with a loud shout. The soldiers of Patrocles were stunned by the sudden change.

"Oops! Fooled! That was Patrocles' first reaction, but before he could think any more, the Arabs were already rushing in front of him, and the sound of iron hooves behind him was getting closer.

"Brothers, we have fallen for the trick, rush out with me!"

But his voice was drowned out in the loud shouts of killing, but in this situation, any counterattack seemed to be futile, originally the total number of soldiers of Patrocles was also less than that of Cassandros, not to mention that the strategy of Kassandros blooming in the middle and encircling outside was extremely deadly, the Babylonian soldiers were flanked from front to back, this situation made them heartbroken, and soon they could not support it, some began to run around without a head, some dropped their weapons and hugged their heads, and some simply pretended to be dead, The Macedonian cavalrymen with their spears first rammed the infantry in front of them, and then drew their swords and easily reaped the lives of the enemy. Only Patrocles and his own soldiers resisted to the death.

"General, run away, there are many more Arabs than we imagined, and the combat effectiveness is not ordinarily strong, we will definitely not be able to stop it in this situation!" A pro-soldier shouted mournfully to his commander.

Patrocles sighed: "I didn't expect that I would have today, what face do I have to meet the Seleucid governor!" ”

"General, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood!"

"Take care!"

Patrocles led his cavalry to the east, but was met with continuous fire from the archers, and many of his warriors fell in the way of the charge. As they approached each other, Patrocles finally smiled hopefully, believing that his cavalry should have no problem dealing with the archers. At this time, the archers retreated to both sides, and a platoon of cavalry in front of him blocked his way. Patrocles didn't have time to think about it, and rushed straight forward. Gradually, he found that the armor of the cavalry in front of him was better than that of his own cavalry, and the other party's eyes showed a look of determination, and he accepted his challenge without hesitation......

The two armies finally came into contact, and in an instant the Babylonian cavalry fell a lot of people, some fell off their horses because of the violent impact, but most of them were knocked away by the opponent's cavalry spears, and there was basically no hope of survival for anyone who fell to the ground anyway. On the other hand, only a few were killed occasionally, and almost none fell off their horses because of the impact. Some of them drew their swords after their rifles were broken and began to wield them wildly, and the swords and shields in their hands seemed to have an advantage in hand-to-hand combat, with Patrocles's side clearly at a disadvantage. Only then did he understand that the other side would hedge against him without any scruples, it turned out that the other party was a well-trained professional cavalryman, and the armor they were equipped with could not be possessed by the Arabs. But at this time, the two armies were already entangled, and either side retreated and brought only disaster to itself.

By the time Patrocles barely squeezed out of the opposing line and ran behind them, he had already lost more than half of them. But then another group of cavalry appeared, all with torches in their hands. Patrocles stopped, and the Macedonian cavalry behind had already turned, but did not continue the pursuit.

"Surrender, I have 3,000 elite cavalry, intercepted layer by layer, you have no chance to escape." Cassandrus announced a piece of news that made the Babylonian cavalry desperate.

"I, Patrocles, never knew what surrender was, it was just a matter of dying."

When Cassandreus heard this, he had a lot less worries in his heart, and he was afraid that the other party would be greedy for life and death, and if he blindly ran away, he would be in trouble, but he still continued to persuade: "You yourself are not afraid of death, what about your men?" Because of your stubbornness, they will be buried with you. Because no matter how hard you try, I can say that none of you can run away today. This way of dying of yours makes no sense at all, and if you die, you will die in vain. Others only know that you were defeated and died, but they don't know how brave you are. In fact you are not heroic, look at this flag. Cassandrus pointed to the fluttering flag and continued, "I don't think there's anyone you don't know. ”
