Chapter 44: Fast Forward
To hide his embarrassment, he withdrew early. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After a while, in the dark pavilion, it was the little prince Ganesa who spoke first: "Sister, let's go out first." ”
Mo Sandi came back to her senses, nodded in agreement, and said, "Come with me, we have a great benefactor to thank." ”
After saying that, she pulled the little prince out of the folding staircase.
The "great benefactor" in their mouths is naturally Ling Zifeng, and it is indeed thanks to Ling Zifeng's help along the way that Mo Sandi was able to successfully find his younger brother.
Even finding the Dark Pavilion in the end was also from Ling Zifeng's guidance.
As Mo Sandi's benefactor, Ling Zifeng's actions are indeed more "qualified". As soon as he went to the dark pavilion just now, he told everyone in the audience the news that he had found the little prince.
At that time, everyone was overjoyed, and then they saw with their own eyes that the heir of their country appeared intact.
They immediately put down the king in their hands and cheered happily.
The troops scattered in the distance to find the little prince heard the cheers here, and flew to rush in, and in a short time the place was surrounded by water.
"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”
Mosandi's troops shouted cheerfully.
Elder Seth, who led the army, also rushed over, oh ~ no~ It should be the captain of the Babylonian royal guard who was in tears at this time. He turned over and dismounted, and walked in front of Mo Sandi and the little prince.
The heavy armor hit the ground with a "bang", and he half-knelt in front of the two sisters and brothers. His voice trembled and he said, "We have finally rescued His Highness Ganesha!" From now on, we have an heir to the throne! ”
He paused and continued: "We want to restore the country!" We want revenge! Please give orders to Her Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess! ”
"Roar. Roar. "The people of Babylon shouted in unison, waiting for orders.
The little prince glanced at his sister, and Mo Sandi understood what he meant, so she said, "In the name of Princess Babylon, I hereby declare it. From this day forward, the kingdom of Babylon will rise again! We will launch a counterattack against Persia with a blood feud! ”
"Hooray! Banzai! ”
After the cheers, Mosandi continued: "Now we will take revenge on the tyrannical Persia for the hatred of our country. Our troops, we need to have a resounding name. ”
"Please allow me to give this honor to the magician who has been helping us, please Ling Zifeng!"
"Ahh I? ”
Hearing Mo Sandi suddenly call her name, Ling Zifeng was stunned and didn't know what to do. Listening to the crowd's cheers again, he frowned and thought:
"A name? I'm the worst at it. But since this army wants to restore the country, is it okay to call it a ****? It doesn't seem to sound good, so it's called the Liberation Army? No, no, it feels weird. ”
He thought about it, and there was nothing too good about it.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and said loudly: "Since you want to restore the country, you must first liberate your oppressed people." Otherwise, how about the Babylonian Liberation Army? ”
"Babylonian Liberation Army? Oh, that's good! Sounds majestic! ”
"That's right, and the meaning is good! Represents the imminent liberation of Babylon! ”
Everyone applauded and agreed with this title.
Mo Sandi's face was full of joy and secretly thought, "I really didn't find the wrong person", and she continued to announce loudly: "I appoint the captain of the royal guard, Seth, as the general of the Babylonian Liberation Army. Appoint....... ”
The sentence "I didn't find the wrong person" in Mo Sandi's heart, in Ling Zifeng's hometown, actually has another meaning.
It was the feeling that the newly-married woman was glad that she hadn't married the wrong person, which made Ling Zifeng feel a little more strange.
At that moment, the people decided to camp on the spot and rest for the night, and wait for the next day to negotiate an alliance with the king of Sparta.
In the early hours of the morning, the Spartan reinforcements led by the queen finally arrived, and the king sighed when he met him.
Seeing the couple get together, Ling Zifeng was very happy.
The oath he made secretly before leaving Sparta "for the second time" was also perfectly fulfilled.
There was nothing to say that night.
The next morning, the king and queen of Sparta also came to congratulate them in harmony.
After a congratulatory message, Leonidas and Mosandi's siblings began to discuss an alliance between the two countries.
Mosandi agreed and made an alliance with the king of Sparta on the spot.
They agreed to fight together against the Persian Empire and to help the Babylonians regain their kingdom. After the restoration of Babylon, the two countries took care of each other, and they would never invade for generations.
That is something that future generations will need to consider, and Babylon now urgently needs to formulate a plan for how to restore the country.
The crowd sat down on Xerxes' broken throne and began to discuss.
Leonidas was the first to ask, "I wonder how Her Royal Highness the princess plans to return to the country?" ”
Mo Sandi looked at the little prince and said bluntly: "We are ready to recover the capital of Babylon first, and immediately gather all the horses to attack the city of Babylon immediately." ”
"Because of the death of Xerxes, the Persian princes will surely mobilize the defenders of the city of Babylon for the throne."
"And the reduction of the defenders is our best chance to attack the city."
"When the city is broken, we can establish a royal court there, and then spread the word that all the Babylonian subjects will revolt, and we will surely be able to respond when the time comes."
Listening to Mo Sandi's eloquent arrangement, everyone around him nodded in approval, and it seemed that they agreed very much with Mo Sandi's arrangement.
Leonidas frowned, he seemed to have a different opinion.
Listening carefully, Ling Zifeng also frowned, he felt that there were many inappropriate things about this arrangement.
Even the black and thin little prince Ganesa behind Mo Sandi gradually frowned, and on his face of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, there was a worried look that only adults would have.
It seems that in his opinion, this kind of countermeasure is indeed very inappropriate.
King Leonidas was a seasoned military strategist, and judging from his many years of combat experience, this kind of countermeasure seemed good, but there was still a great hidden danger.
It is not surprising that the king of Sparta could find something wrong.
Our protagonist Ling Zifeng is a senior history and military fan, and from his reading of history books and military records, it can be found that this kind of countermeasure does have very big hidden dangers.
It is not surprising that he was able to find out.
However, the little prince Ganesa is a thin black boy who has been taken captive by the enemy since he was a child and used as a slave.
And he's only thirteen years old! He was also able to find loopholes in Mosandi's countermeasures, which is somewhat incredible.
Seeing this incredible scene, Ling Zifeng was the first to speak: "Eh! Prince Ganesha seems to have a different opinion, so let's hear what he thinks first? ”
Mo Sandi turned her head to look at her brother in surprise, and found that he still had a worried look on his face.
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother, do you think... Is there anything wrong with my sister's countermeasure? ”
When the little prince Ganesa was asked by his sister, a trace of blush appeared on his dark cheeks, and he was a little shy and did not dare to answer.
Leonidas laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, little prince, say whatever comes to mind, we all want to hear your opinion." ”
Hearing the encouragement of the king of Sparta, the little prince walked out from behind Mosandi...
Encouraged by King Leonidas, the little prince came to the middle of the crowd.
I only heard his still childish voice say, "Hmm... Well.. I think it's the kind of way my sister said. Not good... ”
Mo Sandi asked gently, "What's wrong?" ”
The little prince continued: "Well... For it has been more than ten years since we destroyed Babylon. Most of the subjects who had been loyal to their father were now slaves of the Persians. Some were even bought and assimilated by the Persians. ”
He looked around and saw that no one interrupted, so he mustered up the courage to continue:
"We have only 20,000 troops at our disposal, and the standing garrison of Babylon is 100,000."
"Even if the Persian prince may have moved part of the garrison in order to compete for the throne. The remaining defenders will not be less than 50,000. ”
"Not to mention whether with 20,000 troops, can we capture the city of Babylon. Even if we are lucky enough to succeed, our own damage will inevitably be small. ”
Hearing the little prince say this, Ling Zifeng nodded secretly.
I thought to myself: "Killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself is this truth." ”
I only heard the little prince continue: "Even if we capture the city of Babylon, we will not be able to hold it, and the Persians will not let us rest and recuperate and grow slowly. ”
"Once they get the news, they will definitely counterattack as quickly as possible. When the time comes, our weary divisions that have just taken the city will surely be defeated.
"Even, it may be wiped out by the enemy."
Hearing this, Mo Sandi asked puzzledly: "Brother, how can you conclude that the Persians will quickly counterattack?" ”
"You must know that Xerxes died in battle, and several princes of Persia must be fighting for the throne, so they have the spare time to pay attention to us?"
The little prince glanced at his sister, shook his head and said, "Sister, the power between the princes of Persia is almost balanced, and the battle for the throne will not be fruitful in the short term. ”
"If we attack the city of Babylon, we will inevitably arouse their vigilance. It is even possible to make them stop fighting for a while and come against us with the same hatred. ”
"If things turn out like that, we're in danger."
Leonidas couldn't help but admire: "The little prince has analyzed well, with your current strength, forcibly attacking the big city will definitely outweigh the losses." ”
Ling Zifeng also nodded in favor of the Spartan king's opinion.
Mo Sandi was slightly stunned, she didn't expect her younger brother to have this insight beyond herself.
She was neither jealous nor angry, but said to the little prince with great satisfaction: "It seems that my brother's knowledge is very good!" So, how do you think we should arrange the measures for the restoration of the country? ”
It may seem outrageous to ask a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child about a plan for the revival of a country.
But Mo Sandi also clearly realized that her younger brother was extraordinary, and she was also eager to know what the little prince had different views on the measures for the restoration of the country.
The little prince looked at his sister's relieved eyes, and he was even more confident.
So he continued, "Well... I think we should start by giving up attacking the big cities. ”
"Aren't we called the Babylonian Liberation Army? So we can start by freeing the subjects who were enslaved by the Persians, so that the subjects scattered all over Babylon will be the first to know that we have begun to liberate Babylon. ”
Mo Sandi frowned and asked, "How exactly should this be done?" ”
