Chapter 80: The Messenger

Early the next morning, the generals of the Babylonian Liberation Army came to the Chinese army tent as ordered. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at them with dark circles like pandas one by one, I knew that they were trying their best to break the city all night. However, a group of big men all wore dark circles under their eyes, and Mo Sandi was secretly amused by this scene.

A certain general was the first to speak: "I think I can dig a tunnel, and while pretending to attack the city, I will send people to dig tunnels into the city." ”

Another general also spoke: "Poison ~ let people go to the upper reaches of the water system into the city to put poison and poison the defenders in the city." ”

A voice immediately interrupted: "No, no, no, this city is our capital, we will live here after the battle, how can we live if the water source is destroyed by you?" ”

The general retorted: "The water system entering the city is living water, and when we take the city, it will be clean again in a few days." ”

"Definitely not, what about the polluted land? Toxic water seeps into the land, and it doesn't take years to get rid of it. ”

Prince Ganesa nodded solemnly and said, "It's really inappropriate, this plan is postponed, the next one." ”

Another general responded: "Hurry up and make a batch of ladders, let's go to the city tower!" ”

"That's right, we can make a few more siege vehicles, and we'll crash through the gates."

Elder Seth, who was already old, also spoke, "We can also attack the East and West Gates together, so that the enemy can take care of one and the other. ”

Originally, the geographical environment of the city of Babylon was somewhat special, the city was built on the mountain, and the high mountain was just north of the city.

The mountain is steep and steep, and it is a natural barrier for the city. The cliffs are steep and rugged, and it is not possible to climb them by human beings at all.

To the south of the city there was a wide swamp, which was not suitable for a large army to march in danger, so only the east and west sides had city gates.

Therefore, Elder Seth suggested attacking from both sides.

Prince Ganesa nodded appreciatively and said: "Old General Seth's plan is good, I will appoint you as the commander of the Western Route Army and lead 100,000 troops, so let's go and prepare~"

"Yes!" Elder Seth took the order. The crowd continued to express their opinions.

"We can do that...

"That's right! We can do the same ... ”

Everyone talked about dozens of countermeasures for a while, and Prince Ganesa listened carefully and carefully.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Except for the cancellation of poisoning in water sources, everything else has been implemented. Whoever pays attention will be responsible for completing the meeting and dismissing the meeting. ”

Seeing that their opinions had been adopted by the commanders, everyone happily began to operate one by one.

Elder Seth led the Western Route Army around the swamp.

The scattered generals, the digging of holes, the construction of ladders, for a time in the Babylonian Liberation Army was very lively.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Babylonian Liberation Army launched the first round of tentative attacks on the city of Babylon.

The attack lasted only until dusk and stopped, and Prince Ganesa frowned as he watched the rounds of soldiers killed and wounded by the siege being carried back to the camp.

In this afternoon of tentative siege, they lost the lives of thousands of soldiers.

If you think about the situation of the Western Route Army, there will not be too many surprises, Babylon City is really a difficult bone to gnaw~

Not only is it a tough bone, but this city is also a hot potato.

Because the four princes of Persia were eyeing the border, he would sooner or later send reinforcements.

Time has no advantage over the Babylonian Liberation Army, and they must now race against time to attack the city first.

The next day passed, and Babylon had lost thousands of wounds and hundreds of ladders, and the siege had failed

The third day passed, and they wounded thousands more people plus a dozen siege vehicles, and the siege failed again.

On the fourth day, news came from the Western Route Army.

It was almost no different from their side, and nearly 5,000 people were injured in three days.

On the fifth day, the troops digging the tunnels were found close to the city walls, buried alive deep underground。。。。。。

On the sixth, seventh, and eighth days, all the countermeasures devised by the generals failed.

The Persians defending the city cost only a small price for the Babylonian army to lose more than 10,000 troops in these days.

Prince Ganesa couldn't sit still, he rubbed his brows in the tent of the Chinese army, and thought to himself: "Do you really want to use poison in the water, this method of breaking the net when the fish dies?" ”

Mo Sandi was also anxious on the side, she looked at the depressed Prince of Ganesha, suddenly thought of a way, and said: "Why don't you bring the team of the Assassin League and sneak into the city... ”

Prince Ganesha didn't let her finish, but he interrupted firmly: "No! It's too dangerous! I will never let my sister take risks! ”

In fact, if the Babylonians had been desperate to attack, perhaps they would have taken it in the next few days.

But the terrifying loss figures made it impossible for Prince Ganesa to make up his mind. After all, the lives of soldiers are not represented by a simple number.

And their capital, the symbol of the spiritual civilization of Babylon, is likely to be seriously damaged. The remains of the Hanging Gardens and the 10,000 parchment scrolls of the National Library are priceless treasures.

The most important thing is that even if it is forcibly attacked, will the Babylonian Liberation Army, which has lost more than half of its weight by then, be able to resist the Persian counterattack?

When the two of them were at a loss, a familiar and funny voice came from outside the tent of the Chinese army.

"Finally let me find you! I miss you guys~"

Both of them felt that this voice was very familiar, and hurriedly went out of the tent to meet each other, and the two of them were stunned at a glance.

I saw that this person was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor reflecting the sunlight, and the long sword hanging from his waist also exuded a burst of cold light, and the heavy shield held in his right hand was extremely strong at a glance.

The iconic blood-colored cloak fluttered in the wind behind him, like a blood flag, and stood out against the blue sky.

It turned out that it was a Spartan warrior who appeared in front of them.

But when they looked closely, they found that the Spartan warrior seemed to be a little different from what he remembered. He was slightly half a head shorter than the Spartan, and the heavy shield in his hand seemed to be a size smaller.

However, judging by his muscular and streamlined muscles exposed to his armor, he is definitely a formidable warrior.

The Mo Sandi siblings looked at the warrior curiously, and they felt that the person in front of them was very familiar.

But they could be sure that this man was definitely not one of the hundreds of warriors who had fought alongside each other in front of Hot Springs.

"Bearded general, you're getting more and more energetic! Hey? Isn't Elder Seth here, where has he gone? ~And who else... ”

I saw this soldier pulling the generals on the side to talk affectionately, like an old friend who hadn't seen everyone for a long time. whereas

As for the generals, they looked at each other one by one, and they couldn't remember when they had seen this warrior.

Prince Ganesa frowned and asked someone beside him, "Who is this Spartan warrior?" What are you doing here? ”

The man stepped forward and replied, "Back to Your Highness, we don't know. I only know that he has just arrived here, and he seems to be very familiar with the generals. ”

Mo Sandi seemed to feel something at this time, she stared at the warrior without saying a word, the look on her face was puzzled and flushed, and she felt a little strange.

Prince Ganesha, who did not find his sister's eccentricity.

He just thought to himself. "This warrior does not look like a messenger of Sparta, and he does not know what he is coming from. But Sparta is our ally, and we can't afford to slack off. ”
