Alexander's letter of surrender was sent out, and Alexander's fleet came to the outer islands of Tyre, around the new city, where he came to demonstrate. www.biquge.info But the sheer size and grandeur of the structure of the new city of Tyre is incredible, with two fortified harbors and a ring of 150-foot walls, the tallest in human history. The port is flanked on the east and west, the cliffs are on the north and south, and there is a two-stardian embankment leading to the old city on the east, and the whole city is built like a castle.

"It is worthy of being the first strong city in the world, and Tyre New City really lives up to its reputation!" Alexander looked at the tall wall in front of him and exclaimed.

"Yes! He was 90 cubits tall, and because he was built on the sea, he could not use siege towers or dig tunnels, and it was difficult to break through with trebuchets alone. Larissa's Dias said. Dias was a student of Phalois, an old man who had long since been away from the war, but when Alexander visited him and told him about his ambitions, he joined the expedition without hesitation in his loyalty to the royal family of Ajid. Alexander put him in charge of the engineering troops, overseeing all the engineers and mechanics.

"And how long will it take to design a tower that is taller than the city walls?"

"But we don't even have that much material, we demolished the old city and cut down a lot of Lebanese cedars to build this sea-crossing embankment and tower, and now we have nothing to prepare, we can't use the siege tower without floating platforms. Moreover, it is unlikely that the tower will be built for the time being, unless the ship is dismantled, and it will be difficult for trebuchets alone to break through such a strong wall. Dias said helplessly.

Hearing that the ship was going to be dismantled, Alexander shook his head regretfully, the ship was naturally impossible to dismantle, and he had to find another way.

"The other side has trebuchets and has the advantage of height, and if our trebuchets are not more advanced than the other side, we can't even get close to it." Alexander said worriedly.

"You can rest assured, our trebuchet can project two hundred pounds of stone at a distance of eight hundred feet, which is definitely the latest in the world, and although the position of the opponent's trebuchet is high, it cannot make up for the difference in quality. This has been proven more than ten years ago. Dias looked confident, but seeing Alexander staring at him, he added: "Of course, even if they design the same advanced trebuchet, they will not be as numerous as us, and if they are concentrated and shoot at us, it will be just right for us to be annihilated quickly." ”

"That's good, you let your catapult team smash into a corner of the wall, I want to see the effect."

"Well, but don't get your hopes up, it's hard to knock him down with a trebuchet with such a strong wall."

Then Alexander saw a large number of boulders whizzing to the city walls, and many of the soldiers on the city were smashed to the point that their brains were shattered, and several trebuchets were destroyed, but the walls remained immovable, and there were no cracks at all, which made Alexander very angry, so he had to order to stop shooting.

"Damn, I can't imagine that the city wall is so strong, it can't be smashed like this, it's better not to waste stones, there is no place to supply for the time being."

"Your Majesty, the island is already full of stones, and this city has built such a strong fortress by relying on this natural terrain and stone, and it is indeed difficult to break through it with trebuchets alone, but unfortunately we don't have much time, otherwise we will go to other places to gather some timber and build a tower, so that we can break it." Dias reassured.

"Well, let's wait for any news from Kassandro, and then you can go down and rest."

"Yes!"

It was night, and a group of black ghosts came out of the castle and slowly swam towards the Macedonian fleet.

Suddenly, there was a "thump" sound from the bottom of the boat, followed by a "bang-la-la-la" sound, and many boats were attacked, and holes were dug out of the bottom of the boat.

"What's going on?" Alexander asked.

"Your Majesty, the fleet is under attack." Yabris was already waiting at the door, and Pelitas on the side also screamed.

Alexander also ran over and reported the situation to Alexander.

"How can this be justified, where did this group of people come from, and did they come out of the city and no one found out?"

"No, you sent someone to keep a close eye on everything around the city, and there is no way that anyone will come out undetected." …,

"So where the hell did they come from? From the shore? ”

"Probably not, the fleet on the west side has also been attacked, if they come from the shore, there is no need to run so far, they can concentrate on attacking the ships on the other three sides, and now several directions are attacked almost simultaneously."

"So what the hell is going on? Did they fall from the sky or did they come out of the ground? Alexander said angrily, and everyone bowed their heads.

Suddenly, the crowd heard someone shouting in the sea, and Alexander immediately ran to the railing, where several soldiers were throwing javelins at a man dressed in black in the sea, but the man was shouting for His Majesty. Instinctively, Alexander stopped a few soldiers who were about to project again, and ordered to get people up immediately.

When this man was salvaged, he was already dying, and the scars from overwork and being soaked in seawater left him with only one breath left.

"Your Majesty—Your Majesty."

"Don't talk yet, I'll let the doctor save you."

"No, no, I can't do it, don't waste your time, I'm a subordinate of General Cassandris, and I've found out that there are about 3,500 soldiers in the city, and the city is very tightly blocked, and I finally got mixed in with the water ghosts, so I can tell you this important news. It was from these two holes that the water spirits came out of these two holes, at a distance of five or six cubits below the surface of the sea, on the north and south sides, which led to many parts of the city. The city was built very strongly, but although their operation achieved some results, it also exposed this weakness. To break it, you can start with these two channels. The soldier's eyes were already rolling, but he finished his words with all his might, and finally stared at Alexander intently. Alexander and his eyes met for a moment, and the brave soldier's eyes closed forever. But the soldier's eyes before he died lingered in his mind, a calm but somewhat reluctant look, and Alexander knew that the calmness was due to the fact that he had completed the task without regrets, and that the reluctance was because he could no longer be loyal to his beloved king, which made Alexander's eyes moisten.

"Did all those water ghosts just kill you?"

"At least all the people in the vicinity have been killed."

"Well, whether they find out or not, Ares, you immediately lead the marines to find the tunnel, you must find the cave for me, the key to the capture of this castle is here, Cassandrus already knows this mystery, he should be ready to respond, but if they find out our intentions, but if the other party blocks the entrance to the cave, you will be in a desperate situation. So this trip is very dangerous, and it's up to you whether you succeed or fail. ”

"Your Majesty, I dare not guarantee anything, the only guarantee is that we will never run back in disgrace, and if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent."

"It doesn't matter if you can't beat it, I just hope you can come back alive, you have more things to do, I also have other ways to take it, and I can even attack the old city directly, there is no need to attack this fortified city desperately, the gains outweigh the losses. Do you understand? ”

"I only know how to charge into battle for the king and fight hard to kill the enemy, and I don't know what it means to be greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Death is heavier than Taishan is lighter than Hongmao, the key is to see if death is worth it, if you want to die here, it is not worth it, you must come back alive, this is an order!"

Ares bit his lip with his teeth so hard that he was bleeding, he knew that this was because the king loved him, but then he had to die for him. But in the end, he said with difficulty: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"Tonight was originally extremely dark, but under the firelight, the scene in front of me was still very clear, which indicates that no matter how dark the situation is, it will not be able to hide the glory of Your Majesty, and tomorrow will definitely be a good day." Arrisdros muttered from the side.
