Chapter 59: The Gods 2

The meaning of the gods' decision is war, and war is not something that can be decided by man, only God can decide the victory or defeat. Abi Yatu had hoped to use the army to convince these uninvited aliens, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to avoid a war.

Soon, as soon as the red foot returned to the shogunate, the envoy entered Kanna City with the war book on the back foot. The tactical rhetoric is extremely polite, but the attitude is very clear: if the right of priority is not agreed, the two sides can only fight. The attitude of the red man was like this, and the king's envoy Suviny, who led the army, was even more angry, this group of aliens came uninvited, and made such an impudent demand, and they should be severely punished.

At the same time as the time of the war was agreed, the rebuttal was also brought back by the envoy. In the name of the god Baal, Suvini cursed the Red Flame for his disgrace because of his rude behavior - the finest frankincense could only be supplied to the temple, and a temple consumed tons of fine frankincense every year, and the Red Flame would receive the best frankincense as soon as he came, which was an affront to all the gods.

Accusing the other side in the name of God before the war, telling the soldiers that the gods are on their side, is characteristic of all wars in the age of ignorance. If time permits, both sides will also ask a mutually agreeable third party to mediate before the war, and if either side does not accept mediation, which side will be condemned by the gods.

The other party repelled in the name of the gods, although the other party's gods could not control themselves, and the red warriors did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the witches in the army to prepare sacrifices, and then beat the drum to gather the generals, and ordered the repulsion of the cavalry to reconnoiter at the same time, and arrange tomorrow's battle.

Garrisoning the port of Sangrakha, capturing the capitals of Arakan Kuram and Pandia, and the battle losses in the Persian Gulf, at this time there were less than 5,000 real combatable soldiers outside the city of Kanna. Whether it was 5,000 or 8,000, the soldiers cheered from the bottom of their hearts when they heard the drums. Compared to the increasingly hot weather, they preferred to fight the enemy army earlier and then live in the city. There was no doubt about victory, and as long as the enemy did not have a thousand heavy cavalry, they would not have withdrawn from the port of Kanna as they had withdrawn from the port of Oublay.

At the lower latitudes, the night was almost equal to the day, and when the Red Tree and the others outside the city were falling asleep, the lord of the city, Abi Yatu, the general of the Khataban state, Suvini, the elder of Mullah, Boris, and the nobles of the army all gathered at the temple of Baal in the city. Like the Temple of Athens, the pillars of the Temple of Baal are towering, and the walls around it are more than 40 meters high. In front of the bronze statue of Lord Baal, with two faces and six wings, the flames were already raging, and a child with a severed throat was placed on the statue's outstretched arms.

Dancers in masks dance around the fire, the priest recites the message aloud, and at the end of the prayer, the children placed on their arms are thrown into the fire, and the people present pray to the sound of drums, shouting: "Baal, we are your servants, listen to our call!" Promise us that we will kill the aliens outside the city and make them submit to us......"

"Dare to ask the general, ...... in the city last night" The army began to cook food at dawn, but compared with yesterday, the sergeants and soldiers of the army had a faint uneasiness. Shen Yinshang couldn't help but ask Xiang Hong, he heard the shouts of the sacrifice in the city in the middle of the night yesterday.

"It's just a strange shout from the Rong people." Red slept until midnight and heard the cries of the city. Through the translation, he probably knew that the Rong people in the city were sacrificing to the god Baal. "The custom of the Qin people to sacrifice and bury with burial originated from this."

"Huh?!" Shen Yinshang exclaimed, and Bai Yu, Tian Gao and others were also very surprised.

"Non-nobles do not sacrifice or die, and those who sacrifice in the courtiers must be the sons of nobles." Gods and ghosts are terrifying to everyone, especially strange enemies. But if you associate the customs of a strange enemy with a familiar enemy, you will suddenly have a bottom in your heart.

"What did the general say? This place is tens of thousands of miles away from the world, how can it be the same as the customs of the Qin people? Qi Jiang Tian Ying asked. He fought the Battle of Jucheng with the Chu army, and after losing, he was no longer reused, and could only become a mercenary general.

"This place is tens of thousands of miles under heaven, but the east of Seleucus is Great Xia, and the east of Great Xia crosses the quicksand that is the Qin State. Qin Miaogong is not martyred if he is not a good man, and the heirs of Rong people who are not nobles are not sacrificed, and this is the same origin. The Rong people are the Qin people, why be afraid?! ”

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Honglu forcibly related the Semitic and Qin people, he said so, and the military Sima Hongxiao nodded hurriedly and said: "I know that the people here are similar to Carthage, and they are all sacrificed by noble children, and last night was the cry of their sacrifice." Don't be afraid, our army is lucky in this battle. ”

Hongxiao showed the tortoise shell after divination, and the words of good luck made the general's heart feel a little calmer. At this time, the army had already collected its accounts, and the smoke was gradually extinguished. The well-fed soldiers immediately lined up after eating, and then carried their spears to the battlefield several miles away at the sound of the bell.

When the army marched to the city of Kanna, the army of the Cartaban kingdom outside the city was also in full array. The 6,000 soldiers of this army were a coalition of the Nataban and Mullah Khads - an army of 6,000 men that no kingdom could easily muster in a short period of time. The port of Kanna, the port of the country of CartabaΓ±a, sells frankincense from the country of Mullah, and an army of aliens suddenly appears in the port of Kanna, and the kings of the two countries send their troops to rescue Kanna as quickly as possible.

Seeing that the number of aliens was significantly smaller than their own, the soldiers who had waited for their work began to clamore loudly before they could line up, and the shouts of the god Baal were heard in the sound of music and drums, and everyone believed that their side would win the battle.

Although the red man said that the Rong people were no different from the Qin people, and the military Sima also said that the battle was a good one, but the mercenaries were mercenaries after all, and some spearmen actually went in the wrong direction when they hurriedly lined up, so that there were several gaps in the Chinese army. Such a mistake would have been catastrophic if it had been a simple horizontal formation, and it did not matter whether a complete front had been formed or not for the policy, since each spearman could fight individually.

However, this mistake made the sergeants even more frightened, and they did not know that the spear formation was not a horizontal formation but a phalanx. A few hundred paces away, the enemy screamed even more frantically when they saw that the alien had made such a serious mistake. As soon as the officers gave the order to attack, they flooded into the breaches.

They made a fatal mistake, and the enemy rushed again, and the soldiers in the array could not help but tremble, until there was a loud shout at the gap: "Release!" ”

"Boom β€”β€”!" The roar of the artillery was a sudden awakening, and at the same time shocked the onrushing enemy. But what shook people's hearts more than the sound was the broken flesh and blood. The solid bullet hit the dense crowd that was charging and bloomed with blood. The shirtless Mullah soldiers were shocked and forgot to take a step.

"Boom β€”β€”!" After the first salvo, the second round of shotgunfire, barrage slices through the soldiers rushing forward, sweeping across the area, to stop the enemy from rapidly approaching.

"Boom β€”β€”!" Before the enemy knew what was happening, a third salvo came, and this time they finally saw the fire from the artillery, and in the face of this incomprehensible weapon, they discarded their weapons and turned quickly.
