When the bombardment began, Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII and Princess Arsino, who had been drinking and merry-drinking in the cabin of the luxurious royal ship, were caught off guard by the fact that they had seen the most feared scene of their lives when they heard the noise outside and emerged from the cabin.

- Huge aerial monsters let out a piercing scream, spreading fire and death on the ground and water, and small black dots continued to fall like meteors, allowing the flames and explosions to gradually engulf the army of Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII. Little by little, the boats on the Nile and the tents on the shore began to burn, and soldiers, horses, and even elephants were running wildly, trampling each other......

Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII, Princess Arsino, and a group of servants and maids were stunned by the horrific slaughter that fell from the sky, and for a moment they thought they were dreaming, and stood motionless in a trance.

“…… This...... What the hell is this thing ...... O gods—" Princess Arsine was so frightened that she could not speak.

And Ptolemy XIII, the young pharaoh, seemed to be even more unbearable than his second sister in the face of crisis, not only did his legs and feet go limp, he fell on the deck, and his whole body trembled like chaff, and a puddle of fishy water stained faintly oozed from his loincloth.

Potinus, the eunuch who theoretically had the highest status in the court, was now trapped in a camp on the shore. I don't know whether I live or die, and most of the people on the ship have low status and no ideas. Only the king's teacher, Theodotus. His expression was barely composed, but he opened his mouth for a moment before immediately roaring and giving orders, "...... Hurry up! What are you doing in a daze? Let's start now! Do you still want to die here?! ”

Under the roar of Theodorus, the whole ship seemed to have a backbone, and the sailors began to run on the deck. However, in the midst of this mess of ghosts crying wolf. It was not easy to lift anchor and sail - for safety, the pharaoh's imperial ship was protected in the center of the entire fleet in case of enemy raids. But in the end, this is the time when disaster falls from the sky. This seemingly tight protection turned out to be a deadly cage that trapped the pharaoh's boat from the slaughterhouse: there were boats on all sides, how could it be driven out for a while?

At this moment, look out from the Pharaoh's flagship. The order of the entire fleet and even the barracks on the shore. It has completely disintegrated and turned into a hell of fire and smoke. The surrounding water was full of burning and damaged boats, some of which were half-sunk, and the water was crowded with people, and countless people struggled and shouted for help. The entire fleet and the trestle on the shore have been burned to pieces. All the ships that did not catch fire were busy pulling anchors, hoisting sails, and rowing. Desperately drive away at full speed upstream or downstream. Some of the ships were already on fire, and the sailors fled while fighting the fires. There are many more ships in a panic. collided with each other, causing the flying flames to spread rapidly, making the whole scene even more chaotic.

Obviously, the Pharaoh's Imperial Boat, which was surrounded by these "pig teammates" in the middle and was the largest in size, couldn't move at all at this critical juncture!

In desperation, Theodorus had to order a change to a dinghy and bring Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII to shore as soon as possible. The maids of the palace, who had not yet been frightened, immediately gathered around Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII and Princess Arsino, who had long been paralyzed as mud, and lowered a hand-rowed dinghy from the tail of the flagship...... Unfortunately, the Grim Reaper in the sky also noticed this luxurious and dazzling imperial boat, and immediately made it a key target.

Before they could lift Pharaoh and the princess up, they saw the shadow of the "beast of the sky" loom over their heads, pouring barrels of gasoline and bundles of grenades down! And then, there were several real aerial bombs!

- Boom!! Rumble!!! Rumble!!! ”

With one earth-shattering loud bang after another, the monstrous sea of fire and the thick column of water bloomed one after another on the surface of the Nile with turbid waves, quickly engulfing the luxurious imperial boat of Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII; The monstrous waves stirred up by this round of explosions directly washed several light papyrus boats into the air, and then overturned to the bottom of the river......

When the column of water fell like a giant tree, the luxurious imperial boat of Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII had already become a pile of broken wood chips and rotten mats, all kinds of stumps, internal organs, and fragments, crackling down from the sky, and the visual effect was even more terrifying than hell!

At the very least, when he was thrown off the deck by a scorching wave of explosive gas, and was dragging the young pharaoh in the Nile to carry him with a sinking float, he felt as if hell had descended before his eyes—the huge and luxurious imperial boat was a pile of burning garbage in the blink of an eye, and most of the other ships were crooked and twisted; Fragments of wood and debris could be seen everywhere on the water, as well as all kinds of miserable corpses with missing arms and legs, many of which had no heads and limbs, or even only bloody human bodies; The camp on the shore was also full of flames, as if there was no place where it was not burning, and there were frightened horses and war elephants galloping wildly, crashing into countless soldiers......

As for Princess Arsino, who was predestined by the pharaoh to be the future queen, she disappeared the moment the imperial boat was blown up.

What's even worse is that the flying monster in the sky is still unhurriedly dropping the demonic flames...... Every bundle of cluster grenades fell, and every violent explosion rang out, sending shivers to the survivors who had not yet run away. Many people were so frightened that they fell to the ground, kowtowed to the airship in the air, and prayed for help from various gods so that this terrible air death could leave quickly......

But nevertheless, in the opinion of the king's teacher, Theodotus, it was always safer on the shore than in the water, at least not to drown in the water—Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII could hardly swim—so Theodotus struggled to hold Pharaoh by the neck and try to push him towards the shore.

Unfortunately, the Grim Reaper in the sky did not intend to let them live. Instead, he had already made up his mind to cut the grass and eradicate the roots

- After blowing up the pharaoh's boat, the silver-white cigar-shaped airship lowered its altitude slightly, aiming the barrel of the black hole at the survivors on the water. And then. In their ignorance, a continuous sound of sighing erupted in an instant, accompanied by dazzling sparks that shot out a storm-like metal projectile, forming an arc-shaped fire coverage, and in an instant, all the fragile human bodies were smashed into minced meat!

According to the convention of the use of aviation machine guns, there is a tracer bullet between every five rounds as a calibration round, thus. A deadly whip of 7.62mm bullets struck the Nile wherever it went. Immediately bring up a puff of bewitching blood mist.

Because the crowd on the river was too dense, almost every bullet of Wang Qiu did not miss, and some even tore the body of the first victim first, and then killed the second victim...... Those who have fallen into the water with a sinking load floating in the river. All of them were ruthlessly torn and smashed by the tremendous kinetic energy of the bullets. It turned into countless blood and flesh spilled in the sky, forming a terrifying blood mist on the surface of the river!

The situation of the refugees crowded on the various ships was even more terrible because they were so crowded that they had nowhere to hide when the bullets swept them, and often after a series of machine-gun fire, all that was left of the ships were overturned masts, broken planks and corpses. Even if it was lucky that there was no fire. The broken hull can only go with the current, slowly seeping into the water and sinking. No more angry.

In the face of such an irresistible killing, some people cried and even crawled and hid in the cabin, but such thin reeds and papyrus bulkheads did not seem to provide them with sufficient cover. The tremendous kinetic energy of the metal storm soon smashed the fluttering planks into pieces, tearing the people hiding inside like rags, and the blood, brains, internal organs, and bone slag flew sideways......

By the time the silver-white airship sailed by, the waters of the Nile had already glowed with a bloody flush, and the cabins and decks were littered with bloody brains, severed arms, and wailing and moaning wounded. Some dragged half of their bodies and crawled around, some held their stumps and were stupid, some were screaming like crazy, and many more knelt down and kowtowed to the airship in the air, begging the gods for forgiveness......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In just half an hour, Wang Qiu, Professor Yang Wenli, and Queen Cleopatra had already poured more than ten tons of ammunition from the air to the ground. If it is an ordinary small sightseeing airship, its bomb load will definitely not be able to support such a long period of indiscriminate bombardment. But Wang Qiu relied on the unlimited supply of ammunition across the wormhole of time and space, so he didn't have to worry about running out of ammunition at all, and he could completely carry out the bombing endlessly.

As soon as the smoke cleared, the screen showed a sea of corpses and blood, stumps and legs, the ship's planks contaminated with blood and brains, and the organs and intestines hanging from the ship's side...... With such a purgatory-like picture, Wang Qiu used to feel dizzy and dizzy as soon as he looked at it, and wanted to vomit everything in his stomach. But now, he could easily whistle and press the launch button at the pile again.

Alas, could it be that the hands were stained with blood too many times in another time and space, and even the mind had gradually begun to become numb?

Wang Qiu sighed, used the remote control to slightly adjust the angle of the aviation machine gun hanging under the pod, and then spat out the tongue of fire again.

“…… Alas, the barrel of this gun overheats every few moments, and it is impossible to shoot continuously, so it can only be strafed intermittently, which feels quite unpleasant! If only I could have a Vulcan cannon that I like better, an electrically electrified, multi-barreled rotating "Gatling" type aircraft cannon......"

In between machine gun fire, he couldn't help but muttered as he looked at the red warning words "Overheating Pause" on the computer screen.

“…… Be content, now your income and expenditure accounts have not been settled! After two battles with the Romans and the Egyptian pharaohs, this deficit is definitely going to break through 100 million yuan again! It's good to have these old goods in stock, don't be bothered to catch up with fashion! ”

Professor Yang, who was continuing to throw cluster grenades below, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and scolded.

No matter how different the traversers on the airship were, the Egyptian army being slaughtered below had only despair.

Meanwhile. In the waters of the Nile, long stained red with blood and filled with corpses, the king's teacher, Theodotus, had been blown away by the blast of the air. Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII, who was bleeding from a smash wound to his forehead, clutched a broken plank. He stared in horror at the silver-white Grim Reaper overhead, and in despair he saw the blazing flaming whip sweeping towards him......

In the moment before death came, a feeling of regret that had never been felt before welled up in the heart of the young pharaoh - Cleopatra's sister was clearly recognized by the gods, and had such an irresistible Liliang, because she still disliked her "filthy blood" in the past, and refused to honestly admit her queenship, and slept with her to have children...... If only everything could go back to the way it was. How nice would that be......

The thought had just crossed the young pharaoh's mind. A single bullet pierced his waist and ended his young life forever.

- In fact, the death of Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII. On this battlefield, or slaughterhouse, it didn't cause much reaction, and it didn't even attract much attention. Because long before Pharaoh's imperial boat was blown up. The whole army has already collapsed and collapsed. Everybody is just thinking about running for their lives. And an airship floating in the air. Relying on his unlimited bomb load, he continued to unhurriedly throw cluster grenades at the already sparse crowd, one by one. Whenever they saw the sign of an enemy gathering somewhere, they immediately flew over and fired indiscriminately and machine-gun fire - not to inflict many casualties, but to create an atmosphere of constant panic that would completely crush the enemy's morale and will, so that this fear would be forever etched in their bones, and they would no longer have the courage to be enemies of the Egyptian queen and the traversers!

Obviously. Even the most tenacious warrior could not hold out for long in this desperate situation where he could only be beaten and could not fight back.

-- In the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of this monster in the air. It was not that the Egyptian soldiers on the ground and on the water did not want to counterattack, but on the one hand, they were never trained to shoot at air targets, and they could not organize themselves in a hurry; On the other hand, no weapon in their hands could reach the airship that was constantly moving and circling at an altitude of 150 to 200 meters and at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour......

No way, although ancient Egypt has begun to use archers as early as the Stone Age, but the problem is that the bows and arrows in ancient Egypt and even in the ancient Middle East (Egyptian civilization + two rivers civilization) are all very poor, the bow is very flat, the range is very short, the arrows and bowstrings are actually glued on, and they need to be stored in a dry environment for about a year before they can be strong enough to be usable. If it is dried in the sun, the adhesive will dry out and fall off and become unusable. In the event of rain, the arrows and strings of these bows will also fall off automatically......

Therefore, the archers of ancient Egypt were generally Nubians, and the equipment and treatment of these alien archers were always the worst, belonging to the cannon fodder in the cannon fodder, and the inferior bows in their hands were made of sea coconut trees, with a maximum range of only 100 meters, and an effective range of only 20 to 40 meters. For example, when the Persian king Xerxes went on an expedition to Greece and attacked the Thermothermal Pass, he once sent people to use this sea coconut tree bow to shoot an overwhelming rain of arrows at the three hundred warriors of Sparta, knocking their armor, helmets and shields all clangling, but they were completely powerless, and there were few casualties, and they were ridiculed by the Spartan king Leonidas as "Great!" We can fight in the shade! ”

Although the Greeks later also invented crossbows, which could accurately deliver small stone projectiles and javelins. But the problem is that the launch speed is extremely slow, the structure is too complex, and maintenance and repair are extremely difficult. In front of the Greek and Roman heavy infantry phalanxes, even the crossbow arrows of the time were not very powerful, so they were only used as heavy siege weapons, and they were not promoted in the field at all, and they soon disappeared one after another.

As for the javelin and sling, it is even more impossible to hit a target at a height of 150 meters, and the English longbow, which can shoot a distance of several hundred meters, will not appear in Europe until around the Middle Ages. On the other hand, the aviation machine guns equipped on the airship have an effective firing range of more than 2,000 meters.

Therefore, the archers on the ground not only did not have any results in shooting at the airship, but let the arrows fall and hurt many of their own people.

Eventually, by the time the bombing was over, the barracks outside Memphis were in shambles, littered with burning boats, tents and haystacks, and the river was covered with bloody stumps and severed arms. In many places such as intersections and trestle bridges on the shore, you can see layers of corpses, and the death is strange and strange, and it is most common to be trampled to death by one's own people, which can be called extremely miserable. Some of the mortally wounded soldiers were crawling on the ground, dragging a long trail of blood in an attempt to find a way out. Many more were like quails, squatting on the blood-stained riverbank, shivering, and not even having the strength to escape......

So Wang Qiu and the others sprinkled bags of beautifully crafted leaflets from the airship, and the front was written in Egyptian hieroglyphs and Greek—both handwritten by Queen Cleopatra, and then printed in large quantities with a photocopier—that read, "The gods bless Egypt, and Cleopatra Bixia is the only king of Egypt!" On the back is a cute cartoon image of Anubis, the wolf-headed god of death, and Buster, the cat-headed goddess. On the one hand, it is to publicize the justice of one's own camp, and at the same time, it also lays a foreshadowing for the future solution of religious problems.

At this point, the airship returned victoriously from the skies over Memphis, and this protracted Egyptian civil war basically came to an end. (To be continued......)
