The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, where Alexander and Roxana and Olympias are enjoying the songs and dances of various peoples, carefully selected from all over Asia, many of them from the time of Alexander III, later cheaper Seleucus, and now belonging to Alexander the Younger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThey are superb in appearance, figure, singing voice and dancing, and it is difficult to find fault. Alexander seemed to be enjoying the performances of these beauties, and the generals below were all elated. The performances of these flamboyant and lovely children are impeccable, and some of them are even very bold and make people drool. Only Roxana's eyes were filled with disgust, and he remembered his husband, who had been partying with his companions day and night, while she herself was left alone, and what made her even more unbearable was that in addition to women, his husband had male lovers. She didn't want her son to be like his father, but at this time, she knew that she couldn't sweep his Yaxing, because with such a big victory, the generals needed comfort.

"Your Majesty, you are worthy of being a descendant of Achilles and Hercules, you have the excellent qualities of the famous kings of the past, and you have many qualities that the emperors do not have, because you decided the great feat of the Crusades in a difficult situation, and captured the most impregnable city in the world, Tyro, and finally let Antigonus, who had 60,000 soldiers, die under the city of Babylon under such difficult circumstances. The most surprising thing is that you are still so young. How amazing that is! ”

"Yes! With the favor of the people, there was another great king in Macedonia. ”

"If it weren't for the brothers who fought bravely on the battlefield, no matter how smart and wise I was, it would be in vain, so I will make an exception and toast everyone." Alexander never drank, but this time he offered to toast it, much to everyone's surprise, and they all raised their glasses.

"By the way, what about Kassandro? Why isn't he there? ”

"Your Majesty, the general is patrolling the city, and the enemy army has just retreated, and he doesn't dare to take it lightly, just in case." Pyrus said. Apparently, he was quite sober.

"Oh!" Alexander thought for a moment, and then said, "You can drink as you please, and I'll go out for a while." ”

"Yes!"

On the northern wall, Alexander saw Cassandrus frowning slightly.

"It's really admirable that the general is so dedicated, in fact, the matter of defense is left to his subordinates, you can have a drink tonight."

"As a sheriff, I can't leave my post at any time, and I can't relax tonight, because the soldiers will inevitably be entertained tonight, and it will inevitably disturb the people, and second, the situation in our city, in case it ......," Cassandrus said this, and Alexander couldn't help but tremble, and stared at Cassandro, which made the latter a little nervous.

"I mean, you don't have to worry too much, there's probably nothing bad going on." Cassandro comforted, but Alexander suddenly sobered up a lot, he didn't expect it before, but after Kassandro reminded him of this, he suddenly began to break out in a cold sweat behind his back, if Antigonus killed a horse pistol at this time, Babylon was very likely to change hands, because most of the soldiers were celebrating the victory, and it was obvious that the Macedonians and the Greeks, who were deeply influenced by Dionysus, would undoubtedly drink wine to celebrate the victory, which was very terrible. Come to think of it. Alexander became more and more afraid.

"Maybe you're right." Alexander was silent for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said: "You continue to keep an eye on it, and send scouts out of the city to reconnoiter Antigonus's whereabouts, so as not to give him a chance, and I will immediately order the soldiers to stop the revelry." After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

When Alexander was ordered to stop the revelry and return to their respective posts, everyone was stupid at once, many of them were reluctant, and some even used drunkenness to make nonsense, and were quickly stopped by their colleagues on the side. Although they all barely returned to the barracks, more than half of them were already staggering, and a small half of them were even more unconscious, and Alexander didn't expect anything from these people, but he couldn't punish them, and let everyone drink the sobering soup.

At this time, news came from the scouts that Antigonus's infantry began to approach Babylon and that several ships were coming along the Euphrates, which, needless to say, must have been enemy ships.

"Immediately I ordered all the scouts to withdraw into the city, and the night watchmen on the walls to remove half of them, and keep a close watch over the captives, but not to restrict their movements, and to cooperate with them, but only to the north and west gates, and let the archers lie in ambush in the houses near these two gates. The cavalry was ready for everything, and when the time came, they made a detour from the eastern gate and attacked their rear. Since Antigonus wants to sneak attack, then we will plan and give him an invitation to enter the urn. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful! Your Majesty's description is so apt. General Ducarus spoke in a rare way.

"But will this affect the order in the city? If it is not well controlled, it is likely to cause chaos. Arestonos said worriedly.

"At this time, they are purely making a desperate fight, and their psychological quality is extremely unstable. Once they see that we have little defense, they will be excited, but once they know that we have already prepared an ambush, I am afraid that they will either flee or surrender in batches, because at that time their original fragile psychological defense will be completely shattered, and the weak morale generated by the original antigonus will also be lost, and defeat will be inevitable. And when the time comes, we will be able to obtain a large number of prisoners, which is much more cost-effective than simply thwarting Antigonus's plot and repelling his sneak attack. ”

When Alexander had finished speaking, no one in the crowd exclaimed, for they did not know what to say, and their king had already calculated his opponents, and Antigonus had not lost unjustly.

The last night of the Battle of Babylon is approaching, and although it looks like nothing has happened on the surface, Antigonus's heart is actually very apprehensive, and it is not at all as confident and calm as it seems.

"General, don't you think it's too quiet?" Menander cautiously leaned into Antigonus' ear and said.

"Isn't that right, let your men take off their armor, swim to the west gate of the old city, and wait until the people inside get their hands on it, and start moving immediately."

"Okay."

"Father, what about me?" You hide with me in the fields outside the city, and if there is a shout of murder at the city gate, you will immediately pounce on it and plan the action inside. ”

"Yes!"

In the middle of the night, there were sounds of fighting at the north gate and the west gate, and the gates were opened one after another, which made Antigonus feel like a dream, and the people were killed together. The soldiers on the city walls began to fight back, and the guards at the city gates, seeing the black and overwhelming army, hurriedly retreated inward.

For a time, the gates of the city were crowded and crowded, but the defenders did seem to have relaxed their vigilance, so that no large number of troops came to resist, and a few troops saw that the enemy was strong, and they all ran in one go.

"I didn't expect to spend so much effort not to take Babylon, and we took it in just one night, which is too easy." Ovagoras couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.

"If it weren't for the previous efforts, how could we take Babylon so smoothly, this is providence, although tens of thousands of people were lost, it was still worth it." Antigonus comforted herself.

However, he did not rejoice for long, and as he reached the north avenue of the city, under the moonlight, the houses on the left and right emitted a metallic reflection, which made the alert Antigonus immediately realize that he had been ambushed.

"Retreat!" Antigonus shouted. At the same time, a loud voice came from inside the house: "Shoot the arrows!" ”

Suddenly Antigonus's army was full of blood, Antigonus knew that his sneak attack had failed, and his heart was cold to the bottom, but he still wanted to give up, his number must be more than the other party, and it was really unwilling to give up the fat that was about to arrive. At this time, there was another shout of killing outside the city gate.

"General, the enemy's cavalry has taken our rear road, the soldiers outside the city have suffered heavy casualties, and the road to the city gate is about to be cut off, if we do not retreat, I am afraid—I am afraid—" The soldier did not dare to go any further, but stared at Antigonus.

Antigonus's blood-red eyes were full of anger, and he was still very excited just now, but after a while, his mood fell to the bottom, and this huge gap made him unable to face it for a while. Nikano watched from the sidelines, anxious.

"General, there can be no more hope, the enemy is obviously prepared, while the army has not suffered many losses, hurry up and retreat, I'm afraid it's too late!" Nikano had to be reminded.

At this time, the army that had already been ambushed rushed to the north gate from all over the streets, and for a while, the vicinity of the north gate was overcrowded, and many people could never get up because of falls.

"Catch Antigonus!" The defenders shouted.

"Father, go quickly, the child is your queen." Hearing the other party's voice, Dmitry shouted.

"Alas—" Antigonus finally sighed, then turned his head and glanced at Dmitry affectionately, "Come back alive." ”

Looking at his father's back, Dmitry left tears in his eyes and shouted to fight into the ranks of the defenders.
