Chapter 21: Uruk's Revenge

readx;? Seeing that the opportunity for revenge had arrived, King Argandia of Uruk took advantage of the long expedition and the emptiness of the country to actively liaise with the Eastern Semites in the Akkadian region to attack Kish, taking the lead in crossing the border, destroying the boundary monument and altar of Messirim, which symbolized the shame of Uruk, and occupying a large part of Kish's territory.

Because Kish was defenseless, the army was far away from Mari, and there were not many troops left behind, and a large area of land was lost.

Faced with the mighty combined forces of Uruk and Semitic, your Zappapa had no choice but to defend the city of Kish.

In 2418 BC, after more than two years of siege, seeing that the food and grass were running out and there was no hope of reinforcements, your Zappapa decided to break through the siege, hoping to find his army in Marley and take revenge.

However, after two years of siege, the soldiers were exhausted and unable to support the breakthrough, and your Zappapa could only lead a few of his men to break through, but they were surrounded and suppressed by the Uruk army, and finally died in battle.

With the death of your Zappa, Uruk, as the victorious nation, entered the city of Kish triumphantly, but the war was far from over.

Kish's garrison in Maris had to come to the rescue during the two-year siege, but your Zhapapa's younger brother Shimutala was the commander of the garrison, and he was bent on his brother's death. So these calls for war were suppressed, and even some generals were purged.

In an attempt to soften the dissent within the army, Shimutara declared that Mari was an important place to be touched, and that he had to trust the abilities of King your Zhapapa. Since the king did not send reinforcements, it means that everything is under the control of the great king.

Because your Zappapa is so beloved by the Kish people that he pushed Kish to its heyday, almost all the states have the name of your Zappapa, and every Kish is proud of it. It's the same feeling that Americans today feel respected by foreigners as Americans.

Thinking that the situation had been decided, King Uruk proudly sent an envoy to Mari, declaring that your Zappapa was dead, and demanding that the Mari garrison surrender. At this time, Shimutara, who had been blocking the news for a long time, finally let go of the control of the news, which caused a strong shock within the army, followed by a voice of revenge.

Shimutara took advantage of this vengeance and reactivated some of the purged generals and entrusted them with important tasks, thus beginning the conquest of the combined forces of Uruk and Semitic.

Seeing the menacing Kish revenge army, the Semites in the coalition army withdrew one after another, of course, due to the death of your Zappapa, their main enemy has disappeared, and even if these people fight back, the threat to the Akkadian region has been largely eliminated.

In 2417 BC, the two sides finally fought a battle, Uruk was defeated, King Argondia was killed, and then Uruk fell into civil strife for the throne.

At this time, although Kish was victorious, because of the heavy losses before, they were deploring the death of their relatives and had to give up the task of maintaining peace in the region.

The death of regional hegemon Ul Zappa has deprived the entire region of a stabilizer capable of maintaining peace through deterrence.

After the death of your Zappapa, marked by your taking advantage of the fire to loot and destroy the Second Uruk Dynasty, the Sumerian world entered a period of terrible annexation wars, either annexing others or being annexed by others, and the torrent of history could not be stopped. This is a game like beating drums and passing flowers, but the result of spreading it is the death of the country and the destruction of the country, which is not the same as the mildness of the period of the struggle for hegemony.

From then on, the Sumerian city-states engaged in a continuous series of wars, and the regime took turns between the city-states. It did not end until the Sumerians completely lost power.

Under this historical torrent, Kish, Uruk, and Atab have all joined the battlefield of regional melee and become active participants in it.

The Second Uruk Dynasty experienced a total of 3 kings and 87 years.
