Chapter 1: Exotic Treasures

What catches your eye is a triple castle, the inner castle is an earthen castle, and the outer castle is a fortified fortification made of two layers of wooden walls.

The towers of the city were covered with flags and waving in the wind, and I don't know if this was a send-off for oneself or for the imminent victory of the Egyptian army.

In addition, there were hundreds of soldiers on the castle tower, all wearing helmets and armor, lining up the city's heads, and the west wind with sand and dust wrapped in heat waves swept over their lifeless faces, making the city a little gloomy.

Under the city, there are hundreds of charioteers galloping back and forth frequently, which should be regarded as a kind of demonstration, against both sides, only the weak-hearted side plays this trick, and the galloping war horses can not hide the hesitation and uneasiness of the enemy's heart.

There were also more than 100 infantry on both sides of the city gate, forming a formation, quietly waiting for the Egyptian army.

When the enemy upstairs spotted the approaching Egyptian army outside the city, they twisted their waists, stomped their feet left and right, and challenged the Egyptian army in stiff Egyptian language, as if they were on a doping drug.

The Egyptian commander, who was observing all this and was in the middle of the Egyptian army, was also stunned at first, but he instantly understood, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in his heart: Ignorance and ignorance have always been the fatal wounds of human beings, and it is really pitiful to be so excited and arrogant when death comes...

The Egyptian commander-in-chief, Ramses Wonto, is a rising star in the Egyptian military. Handsome, tall, and strategic, Wang Tuo was known as a man among men and a warrior among warriors

Although Wang Tuo was still young and less than thirty years old, he had already made a lot of contributions to the Egyptian pharaoh, so in this military campaign against the two river valleys, the pharaoh appointed him as the commander.

And Wang Tuo also lived up to expectations, after arriving in the two river valleys, he conquered a large area of land one after another, and at this time the only one who refused to submit to Egypt was the lonely city in front of him.

At this moment, there was a commotion from the opposite side, and the enemy's cavalry suddenly turned around and rushed straight at the Egyptian army.

The Egyptian archers were in the front, the infantry were in the center, and finally 500 chariots driven by horses as fast as the wind.

Looking at the rushing cavalry, Wang Tuo smiled contemptuously, then waved his hand, and the herald next to him immediately raised the flag to convey Wang Tuo's order. I saw that the Egyptian archers immediately shot rows of sharp arrows that covered the sky and the sun, and the enemy suffered countless casualties, and the formation was in chaos. Seeing the opportunity, Wang Tuo ordered the chariots to launch a fierce attack with overwhelming force. When the Egyptian chariots approached the enemy's chariots, the soldiers simultaneously bent their bows and arrows at the enemy, under the unified command. The enemy was in disarray, and the Egyptian infantry caught up and fought with the chariots. The battlefield was littered with overturned chariots, horses, and the corpses of soldiers, and the screams of the enemy's wounded soldiers could be heard everywhere.

After a failed tentative attack, the infantry fought their way out of the city, trying to save the defeated army. Seeing that the enemy dared to take the initiative to attack out of the city, Wang Tuo sent additional crossbowmen to the front line, aiming at the enemy who had already left the city, and with a burst of fire, the enemy was forced to retreat into the city.

The first attack of the enemy was over, and it was time for the Egyptian army to wield its might, and under the command of Vunto, an unprecedented military campaign of siege, demolition, and siege began.

First of all, Wang Tuo unified the military order, and when he heard the sound of drums, he approached the city and prepared to enter the battle state;

Secondly, the army encircled the city walls from all sides, so that not to mention that people could not escape, not even a sparrow could escape from the city;

Thirdly, there was a clear division of labor among the besieging detachments, some were digging trenches and crossing the city walls in a tunnel situation, some were striking the city gates with large logs, and some were digging the walls directly, in short, using all means to demolish the city;

Finally, in terms of combat, Wang Tuo also made very specific arrangements, and the siege troops were all in front of the shields, followed by crossbowmen, and fired on any Huns who appeared on the upper floors of the city.

Under the overwhelming demolition and offensive of the Egyptian army, the enemy's city was crumbling, and the collapse was only a matter of time.

However, the enemy also took advantage of the good offensive bunker structure of the city wall, and released cold arrows from the shooting holes to kill many Egyptian warriors.

The Egyptians, who had paid the sacrifice, were also furious, and after suffering the pain of the cold arrow, they lit the torch and threw it into the hole in the civil structure of the city wall, which really worked, and the probability of the cold arrow was greatly reduced.

After a day of fierce fighting, as the sky grew dark, the battlefield was temporarily silent, and the west wind blew through the already chaotic city of the Western Regions, mixed with a strong smell of death......

Inside the city walls, the enemies in the encirclement were sleepless, and the dark night made them feel the approach of the god of death, and there was only one way to survive: to escape from this unreliable city.

In the middle of the night, hundreds of sergeants trying to break out of the siege rushed out of the city, and they were still greeted by a rain of arrows.

The crossbowmen were busy shooting arrows, while the rest of the army remained motionless and continued to sleep.

The ducks are all cooked, and they can't fly!

It is expected that someone will break through, as long as the drum does not sound, you can continue to sleep peacefully, and when you wake up, you can continue to dig walls, continue to siege cities, continue to set fires, continue to shoot arrows, and continue to fight......

The next morning, the Egyptian army again approached the walls and prepared to attack the city. But I saw a group of young women dressed in fancy, charming and unusually attractive, and a group of young women appeared on the top of the city.

The Egyptian soldiers who were besieging the city couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing what kind of road this was, and couldn't help but suspend the offensive.

Wang Tuowei thought about it, and immediately understood, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Wangto: They have run out of ways to distract us with women.

Looking at the women in the city, Wang Tuo couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, haven't we seen women? If we get some women in the city, will we pity the jade and not attack the city? Take your city, and everything in it is not ours.

Thinking of this, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in Wang Tuo's heart, which was the pearl of the pharaoh's palm, the Egyptian princess Thutmose Li Huan.

Wang Tuo and Li Huan have been in love with each other for a long time, and before Wang Tuo set out for this expedition, the two secretly met, and when Wang Tuo returned from the battle, Wang Tuo asked Pharaoh for marriage.

Thinking of the agreement with Li Huan, Wang Tuo perked up, pulled out the sword on his waist and shouted: Siege!

The Egyptian army poured into the city walls. The first to attack was the crossbowman, only to see the rain of arrows overwhelmingly down, the beauty on the head of the city suddenly tragedy, just now was a soft and warm jade pretty woman, instantly turned into a corpse...

Immediately afterwards, the infantry rushed up, erected ladders and climbed up to the city.

At this time, there was chaos on the towers, and the enemy soldiers fled to the bottom of the city, hiding behind wooden fences, so as to take cover and target the besieging Egyptian army, and shoot them with arrows.

The besieging army paid the price, and the siege was once again thwarted.

Wang Tuo knew in his heart that the enemy at this time was a trapped beast, and in this case, it was not appropriate to attack, but only to outwit.

Wang Tuo carefully observed the situation of the city wall, trying to find a way to break the enemy. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he waved his hand to lead the Egyptian army to slowly retreat.

When the enemy troops on the city walls saw the Egyptian army retreating, they were all relieved and knelt down to thank the gods.

At dusk, the blood-colored remnant sun mixed with the cold mountain wind ruthlessly swept through this tenacious city, and the inside and outside of the city were silent again!

Gradually, the remnant sun finally disappeared in the silence, and the earth fell into quiet darkness.

At this time, groups of Egyptian soldiers quietly appeared, carrying firewood and grass on their backs, piled under the wooden corners of the outer layer of the city wall.

In the distance, Egyptian crossbowmen are waiting for each other.

When the firewood and grass were placed, Wang Tuo pulled out his knife and shouted: Shoot!

I saw countless rockets crossing the empty starry sky in the two river basins, and leisurely landed on the firewood and grass prepared under the corner of the wooden city, the wooden planks and fences of the wooden city were ignited, and the entire city wall was burned, and the night was red......

In the crackling explosion, the sea of fire and the starry sky complement each other, leaving a poignant dreamscape, in the sea of fire, many life forms are struggling, crying, and finally no longer moving, leaving life in this land, left for this night!

Wang Tuo stood quietly at a distance, silently admiring the artistic scene of this war that he had created, and at that moment he was drunk and in tears......

This night is so beautiful, so beautiful and gorgeous, and the glory is peerless, as long as the outer city is broken, the inner city will be broken, the inner city will be broken, and the whole valley of the two rivers will eventually become a subsidiary of Egypt!

When the sun rises again tomorrow, his goal will be realized, and the land under his feet will become a province of the great Egyptian Empire, and he will make the greatest military exploits of the empire, so that he will have the capital to marry the princess, and he can stay with Li Huan for a long time.

The leader of the enemy army finally panicked.

He knew that once the outer wooden city was burned, the inner city and the earth city would definitely not be protected, and now the situation was critical, he finally decided to give up holding on and lead the troops to break through at night, so he endured the pain, led hundreds of elite horsemen, quietly opened the city gate, and the cavalry was about to escape.

This move was expected by Wang Tuo, a large number of strong bows and crossbows were guarding the door, and they came out to shoot one by one, and not simply shoot to death, but to turn the enemy into the flesh of the arrow!

The leader of the enemy army, witnessing the terrible situation of the guards in front, had to turn around and flee back to the inner city.

The fire in the outer city burned more and more vigorously, until midnight, leaving only charcoal ash and scorched earth in the whole outer city.

The enemies in the outer city have already withdrawn into the inner city, and the outer city is as quiet as death!

The destruction of the city is imminent, and the Egyptian army is completely excited!

The drums of war were beaten, the shields were raised, the horses were raised and the horses were screaming, and the Egyptian army took the opportunity to slaughter the inner city!

The leader of the enemy army had no way to escape, and led a group of wives and children to retreat to the inner palace in the inner city.

Wang Tuo once again ordered: as long as the head of the enemy leader, do not live.

At the same time, Wang Tuo also issued a very tempting and demagogic military order: all the property in the city will be distributed to the officers and soldiers in the army to boost morale.

Wang Tuo's order is actually very simple, go in and kill! Let's go in and grab it! Go in and destroy the enemy!

This military order was issued, and the Egyptian army suddenly began to go crazy!

Killing the enemy chief is the dream of all soldiers, and it represents the supreme glory and great cause of soldiers.

The frenzied Egyptian army rushed into the inner palace and swept everything, killing people and taking things when they saw them, and the enemy leader had nowhere to flee and was hacked to death on his throne by Wangto.

Wang Tuo cut off his head with a knife, held it high in his hand, and the sergeants thundered with joy...

At this point, the last city-state in the valley of the two rivers that refused to submit to Egypt finally became Egypt's possession...

In the evening, Wang Tuo, who was having dinner, received a report that a secret room had been found in the depths of the inner palace.

Wang Tuo secretly thought that he had ordered before that all the property in the city would be distributed to the officers and soldiers in the army. But at this time, the sergeant did not enter the secret room to rob, but came to report, this secret room is probably not trivial, so he went to check it himself.

The door of this secret room is hidden behind a flower stand in the depths of the inner palace, and it is indeed not easy to find without looking carefully.

Push open the door of the secret room, first a section of the corridor, after walking a few steps, the terrain gradually lowers, and then walk dozens of steps through the corridor after the eyes suddenly open up, what appears in front of you is a wide hall, arranged very solemnly and solemnly, like a shrine of religious sacrifice.

In the center of the temple, there are several tables on the left and right, on which are placed transparent vessels with colorful liquids. On the table in the center is a bat-shaped sculpture, I don't know what material, shiny, and lifelike, exquisitely made. Wang Tuo was amazed.

Wang Tuo looked at these carefully, whether in Egypt or in the valley of the two rivers, he had never seen a table of this style, nor had he ever seen a transparent vessel, perhaps specially built to worship their gods. I don't know what kind of god is enshrined here, maybe it's the bat god, Wang Tuo laughed at the thought of this.

Wang Tuo looked at the sculpture, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Li Huan likes sculpture very much and has collected a lot, but she has definitely never seen such a beautiful sculpture bat, and she will definitely like it if she brings this back.

Thinking of this, Wang Tuo strode forward to take down the sculpture.

At this time, there was a shout: Don't touch it!

Wang Tuo turned around and saw a local tied up.

The sergeant explained: General, this man is a servant here, and I think maybe the general will want to know about the situation here, so he will stay here.

Wang Tuo nodded at the sergeant, turned to the servant and said, "Why can't you touch it?"

Servant: It is recorded in our people that this treasure is left by the gods, and it must not be touched lightly, and if it is touched, it will cause the wrath of the gods...

Wang Tuo was stunned when he heard this, and saw that this sculpture was indeed vivid and exquisite, and the highest craftsman in Egypt was afraid that it was difficult to match, could it really be left by God?

The servant looked at Wang Tuo with anticipation, but saw that Wang Tuo slowly turned from surprise to smile.

Wangto: If God really blesses you, will you still be ruined? Even if the state can't keep it, will it still protect this sculpture?

Wang Tuo said as he removed the treasure left by the god from the table.
