Chapter 179: Coalition Attack
The war between Troy and Greece has been going on to a fever pitch, not only humans, but also some gods have finally begun to attack, but, fortunately, both Troy and the Greek gods are only looking for gods, and do not use the power of gods on humans, which makes Troy's war still within a certain controllable range.
Of course, this so-called controllability is also about to reach the extreme, and these days, even if Nan Ao and others are hiding far away, they can hear the sound of the chariots of the gods rolling in the sky, and the dark clouds that cover half of the sky when the gods fight.
And on this day, the Egyptian army actually began to move strangely, at first the Trojan envoys were frightened, they thought that the Egyptians wanted to retreat, but soon found that the Egyptians were not retreating, not only did not retreat, on the contrary, the Egyptians began to march towards Troy, as if they were ready to participate in the battle.
The Egyptians entered the war, and it was clear that something was happening on the battlefield, or something had changed.
Nan Ao's heart moved, and it just so happened that at this time, the Egyptian commander came to look for him, and at this time, Nan Ao could see a trace of anxiety in the Egyptian commander's eyes.
It was anxiety, not joy and the like, Nan Ao's heart tightened, could it be that he played not because the situation was good, but because the form was not very good.
"Our retreat has been cut off."
The Egyptian commander came to Nan Ao and spoke in an extremely bad tone, Nan Ao was slightly stunned, and then he realized in his heart that the back road was cut off, so it was indeed not suitable to continue hiding at this time, whether it was because it was no longer safe here. Or for any other reason, they must join the Trojans as soon as possible.
Then at least one more wall to lean on.
Nanao frowned, but the ability had already been turned on. Instantly invaded the Egyptian general's mind, and soon, Nanao found the answer he wanted from the Egyptian general's memory column.
The Egyptians' back route had indeed been cut off, and according to the information received by the Egyptian general, most of the Nile region along the Mediterranean Sea had been blocked by some kind of energy at this time, and it was covered with dense clouds, among which there seemed to be countless poisonous insects and demons. It's really difficult for humans and animals.
This answer made Nan Ao couldn't help but be slightly shocked in his heart, to be honest, his impression of Troy was just some legends. And the only thing that is certain about this period is that it happened at least a thousand years BC, at least three thousand years before the twenty-first century of his first life.
No one knows what exactly was on Earth during this period, or what kind of creatures existed on Earth, in fact. In ancient times, humans were by no means formidable creatures. It's just that human luck is good enough, so in the end, the only primate intelligent creatures left on the earth are humans.
"We must enter Troy, otherwise there will be no guarantee of the safety of my soldiers anywhere."
The Egyptian general frowned and spoke, returning from Troy to Egypt is naturally not only a Mediterranean road, but. Unfortunately, except for the Mediterranean. The only way to do this was to head east, past the Jews, and then south, through the Middle East, and that road had always been unsafe, even more terrifying than the energies and mystical creatures that cut off them.
The Middle East, which is the most mysterious place in the world except for the four ancient countries, even Judaism at this time only occupies a corner of that side, and in the West, countless people say that it was cursed by the gods of the East.
Therefore, if it really can't be done, the Egyptian generals would rather fight the Greeks, or even venture directly through the area shrouded in mysterious energy, rather than set foot in that region of the Middle East.
Of course, they didn't really come to a dead end, and the best option for them now was to go to Troy.
The Greeks were not invincible, Troy had actually blocked the Greek attack, after all, Troy had built a perfect country for his city over the years, and the Greek army may be good at fighting, but when it comes to siege, it may not be very strong, in fact, the Greeks lack sufficient siege means.
Troy is surrounded by the ocean, and the Greeks can't even cut down many trees, so they can't build siege equipment at all, not to mention, the Greeks don't seem to have any siege equipment at this time.
To be honest, in general, the Trojans are also in the Greek lineage, so they pay attention to martial arts, and there is no such thing as defending the city and avoiding war, otherwise, if you change the generals in the East, you only need to hang up the war-free card, or simply defend the city all the time, and the Greeks can be consumed.
Historically, the Greeks fought against Troy for ten years, and many people only saw the time of this war, but no one noticed how many people were left when the Greeks captured Troy and withdrew.
In the subsequent epics, even the kings of Greece such as Agamemnon returned to their own country and became alone, of course, in those epics, Agamemnon was cleaned up by the gods, but if you throw away the ships that Agamemnon was overturned by the gods mentioned in those epics, Agamemnon really led the retreat from Troy There are very few left.
Well, to get aside, to put it more practically, Troy at this time was a fortified city, and theoretically the Greeks couldn't knock it down at all.
Therefore, the Egyptian general was also extremely shrewd, he saw the essence of the matter at a glance, and hid in the city of Troy, so as to ensure the safety of himself and the many soldiers under his command.
Of course, the blockade of the Greeks in Troy was a problem at this time, but it was by no means a big problem.
In fact, the Egyptians were far superior to the Greeks in combat power at this time.
At this time, the Greeks had not yet begun to colonize, and were confined to the land where their ancestors lived, and the whole of Greece was surrounded by the sea, narrow plains, and numerous mountains.
This terrain determined the way the Greeks were armed, ships were the most important, naval warfare was what the Greeks were best at, and as for land attacks, the Greeks relied most on throwing guns, short swords, at most shields, and armor that their generals would equip.
Again, Greece at this time was not a centralized empire. Greece at this time was equivalent to a union, and as for every country was equivalent to a principality, yes. Duchies rather than empires, to put it mildly, the form of principalities was quiet in the bones of Greece and later Rome, which was greatly influenced by Greece, so even though Rome and the Han Dynasty in the East later became the largest polarized empires in the world, Rome eventually restored the principality system.
Of course, not that the principality is bad. It's just that, in the current situation, the principality is relatively not so good. Just like this time, Greece went on a big campaign against Troy, and there was even a coalition commander, but that's it. Because of the habits of the Greeks. Therefore, the authority of this commander-in-chief is not great.
Comrade Xiao A is angry and can even not be Diao Agamemnon, the commander-in-chief, whether this thing happens in Egypt, India, or China, it is unthinkable, an army, if the commander can no longer fully command the generals below, then, only two things will happen. One is that the commander in a fit of rage kills the general who disobeys the order, and then reorganizes the army. The second is that this army collapsed and was quickly wiped out by the enemy.
It's just that there is a third possibility in Greece, an extremely strange possibility, that is, the commander continues to command the army to attack, and the general who has a small temper becomes a real passerby, watching the play on the side, and what is even more speechless is that the Greek army has not collapsed, as it should be.
Therefore, if the Greek army is said to be a country's army at this time, it is better to say that it is like the Chinese Green Forest Alliance, just like the eighteen-way anti-kings in the late Sui Dynasty or the eighteen-way princes in the Three Kingdoms period, of course, the only difference is that Agamemnon can not directly order those generals, but he can still order soldiers.
However, this kind of order is obviously much worse than that of Egypt, at least Egypt is a centralized state, and the commander of Egypt can command any general at will, so that he can use far more tactics than the Greeks.
Moreover, in the event of a war, the command of this general is obviously more free and changeable than that of Agamemnon, because he knows enough about the soldiers under his command, and Agamemnon, perhaps at most, knows the army of his own country, and as for other countries, it is good to know which person commands that country.
The 20,000 Egyptian troops quietly approached Troy, and at this time, it happened that the Greek army under the city of Troy was lining up to confront the Trojans.
Well, to say it's a confrontation, it's actually to watch two guys compete.
Nanao saw a familiar face from afar, it was Paris.
Well, this playboy is actually fighting with others, which really makes Nan Ao a little surprised and doesn't believe his eyes, but after thinking about it a little, Nan Ao immediately thinks of the legendary Helen and her husband running to the city to find Paris alone.
For a long time, the husband of the other family finds an adulterer to fight alone, and Paris has absolutely no way to avoid this kind of thing, unless he does not want to stay in Troy in the future.
"Good opportunity, should rush over."
Looking at the two groups of people who were defenseless in front of him, Nan Ao couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and turned his head to look at the Egyptian general beside him, but what happened to make Nan Ao speechless, this damn Egyptian general actually ordered to stop the army's advance at this time.
"It's a shame to interrupt such a joust, and even the gods would hate it."
This general gave a reason that made Nan Ao extremely dumbfounded, well, Nan Ao blinked his eyes speechlessly, he can only say that the human beings in this era are still quite simple, in fact, even Huaxia, who is accustomed to strategy, still has a war-free card at this time.
Nima's, you can avoid a few days of war by hanging a sign, and Huaxia also has such a pure time, this thing is simply unimaginable in the future generations.
It is difficult for Nanao to imagine the purity of human beings in this era, and there is no way to change the minds of the Egyptian generals, so he can only patiently watch the unremarkable duel from the sidelines, and the final result of this duel is naturally Paris repaired as miserable as a dog.
Fortunately, in the end, this guy was finally rescued back to the Trojan camp, but the end of this duel was greeted by a battle, and the Greeks were furious when they saw that the Trojans had violated the fairness of the duel.
And the Egyptian's expression was not much better, the Egyptian general's face was obviously extremely disgusted, and at this time he saw the benefits of a centralized state, this Egyptian general had obviously despised Paris to the extreme, and even felt no better about Troy, but when the army of the Greeks and the army of Troy were in a mess, he still drew his sword and led the Egyptian soldiers to rush out.
as a centralized authority. The country that continued for quite a few years, and Egypt at this time happened to be at its peak, actually. Even in normal history, in a few hundred years, Egypt would fall and be conquered by Rome.
However, at this time, Egypt was indeed a powerful country, and when the Egyptian general led many Egyptian soldiers to charge, Nanao couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
The momentum of these guys' charge is actually no more violent than that of the Greek soldiers, but their class coordination is much better than that of the Greeks.
First, a concentrated salvo of arrows. Then he still didn't forget to put on his shield in the charge, and when he was about to approach, countless spears flew out, and when he approached, there was a dense array of spears. After that, there was still an endless stream of arrows and throwing guns in the rear.
There were not much more weapons than the Greeks, but tactics were too much, at least. The Greeks eliminated archery and spear throwing at long distances. In close combat, he only relies on hand-to-hand combat.
Ancient Greece, this was an era of showing muscles, and this nation was quite romantic, far more romantic than the French in later generations, but because of this romance, their tactics were as bad as.
Nan Ao can imagine the Hollywood movies of the later generations, with countless muscle sticks squeezing forward in a phalanx with steps. Then there is the collision of muscles and muscles.
Because the area is too small, and many muscle sticks are squeezed together by the people behind. Therefore, even the short sword can't be pulled out, so he can only use his strength and muscles to continue to squeeze forward vigorously.
Well, this is the most classic infantry phalanx of this period.
Nanao couldn't complain about anything, but when the infantry phalanx of the Greeks met the hedgehog array of the Egyptians, something terrible happened.
When the Greeks found themselves squeezing through, they were only blocking the flood, and there were still hideous thorns in the flood that kept shooting out, and this kind of thorn was still very painful.
It's a pity that most of the soldiers of the Greeks were infantry, and archers and infantry were not mixed and matched, so for a while, they couldn't organize archers to deal with the Egyptians in the same way.
Finally, even as many muscle sticks were pierced through a passage, and with a rain of arrows and throwing guns, the Egyptians finally made a breakthrough, and at that moment, 20,000 Egyptians roared loudly and took out huge hammers from their sides.
Well, compared to the weapons of the Greeks, the Egyptians obviously had a lot of equipment, and later generations commented that the Egyptians did not like to create, so most of the weapons were learned from other countries that invaded them, this thing is obviously nonsense, ancient Egypt is also the oldest civilization, the city of Cairo by the Nile, as well as the pyramids and the Sphinx, all show the rich imagination of the ancient Egyptians, Nanao does not know why some people still say that the Egyptians lack creativity.
"Kill in, kill in."
A loud roar sounded, the Egyptian general roared loudly, Nan Ao followed, he was the first time to fight side by side with the Egyptians, but, to be honest, the Egyptians in ancient times were far more powerful than the Egyptians in later generations, at least Egypt was also one of the strongest countries on earth during this period, at least in the top three.
20,000 people finally killed through the encirclement of the Greeks, and in the front, the Greeks were fighting to the death with the Trojans, and suddenly found that their rear was actually killed, and the melodious horn sounded at the moment, Agamemnon even a fool knew at this time that he had to gather his troops, otherwise he would be really flanked by the front and rear, and the Greek coalition army would be finished.
"Sideways, kill. Sideways, killing. â
It's just that Agamemnon is not a fool, and the Egyptian generals are not stupid, they have already broken through the outer encirclement, at this time, where is there any danger, there is a battlefield of Greece and Troy ahead, and part of the Greek army is caught in the middle.
Although there are also Greek troops behind him, but the troops behind him have been killed, and if he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity to eat the Greek troops in front of him at this time, then the Egyptian pharaoh may have to immediately re-select his general.
The troops that had just been killed immediately began to turn around, cooperating with the Trojans to encircle and suppress the encircled Greek troops.
Troy even took out his own elite heavy infantry, only a few thousand heavy infantry stepped on the ground with heavy steps, although not fast, but it was the same as a rag, but wherever this heavy infantry passed, the Greek troops were wiped clean.
The encircled Greek troops were probably thirty or forty thousand people, at this time. These guys also looked terrified, and even the generals who took the lead began to rush like madmen with their blades.
Nan Ao glanced over, but did not see the shadow of Achilles. Nan Ao doesn't remember when Little Ah had an awkward falling out with Agamemnon in that epic, but it is clear that in this world, Little Ah seems to have fallen out with Agamemnon at this time.
It was a good thing for the Trojans and the Egyptians that the little Ajax was not there, and Agamemnon and the Great Ajax were also heroes, but. The combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as Xiao A, and at the same time, it does not have Xiao A's appeal on the battlefield.
At least, in front of us. The two were unable to turn the tide of the battle.
The generals of Egypt and the generals of Troy have even met on the battlefield, and as a free port, the Trojans have absolutely no less than a language, in fact. Except for the East and Greece. Egypt is also a trading area of Troy, so there are no problems with communication between the two sides.
At this time, the two generals even had time to say a polite word to each other, naturally, this form not only did not make the soldiers under their command dissatisfied, but made the fighting spirit of those soldiers even higher, and it was a clear thing. Is it only when there is a chance of victory that the generals of the army will be so leisurely?
Nanao frowned at everything in front of him, and he wondered if he should stop what was in front of him. You know, once the Greeks are defeated, then even the gods seem to have no reason to continue to participate in the battle.
In fact, although the gods of this period walk on the earth, it seems that they must also abide by certain rules, just like the god list, the gods can choose to join the camp, but they are not qualified to stand up for the camp.
To put it mildly, if Shang destroyed Xiqi at the beginning, then no matter what immortals you have, you can only stare dryly, just like Shang's destruction of the Beihai Uprising and Su Hu's uprising, according to the Fengshen Bang, there are shadows of immortals behind the affairs of Beihai and Su Hu, although they may not be Chinese immortals, but in fact, these immortals are all because Shang's speed is too fast, and there is no opportunity to exert their strength.
The mortal war is over, and those immortals seem to be able to only end all their careful thoughts.
It's just that, looking at the scene in front of him, Nan Ao can only shake his head helplessly, in this case, he doesn't seem to have the slightest reason to prevent the war from continuing, seeing that Troy and Egypt are about to win, if he stops it at this time, then I'm afraid he can only defect to the Greek camp.
Although, with his Eastern bloodline, even if he defected, he could be accepted, but in fact, if he really went to the Greek camp, I am afraid that it would be useless.
The most important thing is that even if he wants to stop the war at this time, he does not have the ability, the Egyptian generals and the Trojan generals will not listen to him at this time, and they are about to win, unless the pharaoh and the king of Troy themselves want to admit defeat, otherwise, these generals will never stop fighting.
It's just that, at this moment, Nan Ao suddenly felt his heart beat, as if he was on a whim, as if he felt something coming.
Nan'ao's eyes looked out in confusion, and he glanced around, and suddenly, his eyes widened, and in the opposite direction from the Egyptians, a team that looked like wandering beasts was rapidly approaching.
Nan Ao can't describe this team, judging from the equipment alone, this is a group of vagabonds, but if you look at the momentum, you will feel that this group of beasts, but if you look at the individuals, you will feel that this is a team composed entirely of people like Greek heroes.
This is a group of barbarians who are even more savage than savages, each of them seems to be completely transformed from bears, and apart from the fact that they are the same as humans, they are simply unable to associate these people with ordinary humans.
If you want to compare, Nan Ao thinks that it is a group of two and a half big peak Arnold, yes, that group of guys, each of them looks as strong as the two and a half Arnold combined, and these guys give people a fierce aura even from afar.
Nan Ao's eyes looked carefully, and he couldn't help but curse.
âFâŚâŚâŚâŚăâ
The bits and pieces of this group of fellows were led by some strong men with bearskins wrapped in their arms, and if those ordinary warriors were like two and a half Arnolds, then the ones wrapped in bearskins were simply giants, at least more than two and a half meters tall, with arms as strong as the roots of old trees, and a face covered with rough skin like wild boar skin. (To be continued......)
