Chapter 4685 4688 [Flooding the Armies]
Afterwards, Xiang Nan ordered Ansuna to lead 500 people to attack the city of Arach.
"Five hundred people?! We definitely can't win." Ansuna was surprised when she heard it.
Arach was originally a military stronghold and the southern gate of the Hittite Empire. It has been stockpiling more than 30,000 soldiers all year round to resist the invasion of the Egyptian army.
Now it has gathered the defeated soldiers from Hama, Katna, Alwad, Ugarit and other cities. In addition, she also received news that the Hittite Empire sent 30,000 soldiers to support.
In this way, the military strength of Arach may be as high as 80,000.
With so many troops, and she only took 500 people to attack, isn't that waiting for failure?
"If you want to fail, run away when he chases you and hide here." Xiang Nan pointed to the map and said, "At that time, I will arrange troops on both sides to support. Once his army comes in, we will rush up and scare him to death!"
Ansuna suddenly realized and led her army to Arach to challenge.
When the city lord, Little Ram, saw that Ansuna only led 500 cavalrymen to provoke him, he could not help but feel surprised and angry. But when he saw how beautiful Ansuna was, he could not help but be tempted.
Then he led the army out of the city to fight, regardless of the opposition of his generals.
And Ansuna immediately led the cavalrymen to turn around and flee.
Little Ram immediately led the army to chase.
"Prince, I'm afraid there is a trick!" The general under his command reminded him hurriedly.
Five hundred people came to attack the city, and they ran away before fighting. It seemed like a trick no matter how you look at it.
"If I don't chase after five hundred people, I will become a coward if the news spreads." Little Ram said stubbornly, "Besides, what trick can there be?"
Then he chased after them with the army regardless of the obstruction.
...
Ansuna and Little Ram, one running away and the other chasing, soon ran dozens of miles away, from noon to dusk.
At this moment, the shouts on both sides suddenly shook the sky, and the dust flew, as if tens of millions of troops were coming on both sides.
"We've been tricked. Retreat, retreat!" Little Ram was shocked and screamed when he saw it, and then led the army to retreat.
His generals had long guessed that there was a trick, and now they saw that there was indeed an ambush, and they were all scared and turned around and fled.
And the upper beam was not straight, and the lower beam was crooked. Seeing that the generals were busy escaping, the morale of the army suddenly fell to the bottom, and they fled desperately, only regretting that their parents had not given them two less legs.
Countless shouts and killings followed closely, and they were so scared that they dared not stop and ran all the way. And those who were not strong enough and fell behind were naturally captured.
...
When Little Ram and others finally returned to the city of Arach and were crossing the Euphrates River, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound, followed by the surging river water pouring down from the upper reaches.
For a time, countless soldiers in the river were washed away by the surging river water, and the cries for help suddenly rang out, frightening the defenders and civilians in the city.
The soldiers who were blocked by the river and did not cross the river were all terrified.
Because they could not cross the Euphrates River, and countless torches were approaching from afar behind them, it seemed that there were at least tens of thousands of troops. How could they not be afraid? Therefore, they were trembling with fear and their legs were weak.
"Put down your weapons and I will spare your life!" The Egyptian army shouted loudly.
When they heard it, they put down their weapons one after another.
Then the Egyptian army rushed forward.
At this time, they were surprised to find that there were not many pursuers at all, only a thousand at most.
And the reason why there were so many torches was because one person held ten torches, so it looked like there were many.
But they realized that it was useless. They had already put down their weapons and were scared, and they had no will to resist at this moment.
...
At this time, more than a dozen large ships rushed down from upstream, and each ship was full of torches, as if there were hundreds of thousands of troops.
They beat drums to cheer, and with the help of the might of the river, they were like a god descending from the sky, frightening the defenders and people of Arach.
At this moment, the big ship was seen crashing into the river bank.
The water of the Euphrates River had been blocked for most of the day, accumulating a large amount of river water.
Now after the gates were opened to release water, a large amount of river water rushed down, which exceeded the carrying capacity of the Euphrates River and formed a huge flood peak.
It was for this reason that when the big ship hit the dam hard, the dam was suddenly hit with a big hole, and then the surging flood rushed into Arach.
For a time, the walls, gates, and buildings in Arach were destroyed, and the floods were flooded. The army and the people were all shocked.
The spies sent out by Xiang Nan took the opportunity to incite in the city, "Run, run quickly, the gods are punishing you!"
"The city is flooded, this is the anger of the gods!"
"Escape quickly, it will be too late if it's too late!"
No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum!
It was already late at night, when people were at their most vulnerable. When they heard these rumors, the people all fled blindly out of the city for a while.
Little Ram was also scared at this time. He didn't care about entering the city and immediately led his troops to flee.
The soldiers guarding the city saw that Little Ram had run away, so they dared not resist anymore, so they also fled.
Xiang Nan took the opportunity to attack.
The army quickly crossed the river along the floating bridge composed of large ships and pursued closely.
……
Obviously, the Hittite Empire had tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of civilians, but at this moment, they were chased by Xiang Nan's army of less than 10,000 people.
Xiang Nan can be said to have won a great victory.
With the arrival of this victory, Xiang Nan also met the opportunity to become a god. A large amount of divine power poured into his body, making him instantly the brightest boy in the night sky.
Then, many complicated patterns suddenly appeared on the divine body in Xiang Nan's Niwan Palace.
Xiang Nan knew that this marked that he had become a two-faced god who combined the "God of War" and "God of Wealth".
After becoming the God of War, he also had two abilities.
One is to have super strong combat power, and his strength, physique, reaction, and strategy have been greatly enhanced. The God of War himself is a powerful warrior;
The other is that the God of War can gather an army of his own and share power and damage with his army.
Of course, these two abilities are also related to divine power.
The stronger the divine power, the stronger the strength of the God of War. The more divine power, the more condensed the army.
"Great!" After becoming a god, Xiang Nan said with satisfaction.
The God of War is much more useful than the God of Wealth.
The God of Wealth can only control money. Although he is very popular among the people, he is still just a small god.
Even Guan Gong, the most popular god of wealth in the Middle Earth, is only one of the four marshals guarding the South Gate of Heaven in heaven. He was so frightened when he saw Sun Wukong going to heaven. He really has no face.
In comparison, the god of war is much stronger.
In various mythological systems, the god of war is the first-class god.
For example, in Egyptian mythology, the god of war is Set, one of the nine pillars of gods; in Greek mythology, the god of war Ares is one of the twelve main gods of Olympus; in Norse mythology, the god of war Odin is the greatest main god; in Celtic mythology, the god of war Nuada is also called the king of the gods.
