Chapter 685

For example, "Pharaoh killed all the officials in one go", "Pharaoh invented a new smelting technology", "Pharaoh promoted many high-ranking officials from the common people"... These rumors are not reliable at first hearing.

In short, due to the long-term chaos and the contempt for the female pharaoh, Nitocris's hard work has not attracted the attention of the rebels in the past four years.

So now, they have to pay for their carelessness.

Although he couldn't believe it, since the urgent report from the top of the city came, Mai Libula still believed in his subordinates, so he immediately ordered the mobilization of weapons and supplies, and at the same time rushed to the top of the city by himself.

Then he saw that in the rolling yellow sand in the distance, a black army was setting up camp, and their flag was the symbol of the Pharaoh. As the former governor, Melibullah was quite familiar with this.

Sure enough, this was indeed Pharaoh's army.

Heracliopolis and Pharaoh's city, the capital of Memphis, are not adjacent to each other, but there are a few nomes in between.

What does it mean that Pharaoh's army is here now?

Those nomes were probably captured by Pharaoh.

From this point of view, this army also has two tricks.

Chapter 0847 self-esteem is very high

The appearance of the pharaoh's army certainly made Melibra flustered for a while, but he soon came to his senses and saw the opportunity contained in this accident.

What is his dream of Melibullah, to replace the current royal family, become the new pharaoh, and then unify Egypt and make great achievements in the world.

And in this process, Pharaoh's power is a big obstacle between him and Wild Hope.

To become a new pharaoh, either the current pharaoh regime collapsed, or he had to defeat the pharaoh head-on.

And now, isn't the opportunity at hand?

Pharaoh's army came from afar to attack Heracleopolis.

In the process, the pharaoh probably recovered several nomes.

If he can defeat Pharaoh's army, his reputation will immediately spread throughout Egypt, and everyone will worship before his might.

At that time, he will be able to fight around in an open manner, and then become the new pharaoh.

With such an opportunity to step on the throne of the current Pharaoh, how could he not seize it?

Think about it carefully, the pharaoh has come all the way, and it will take time and energy to recover Nome on the way.

In the direction of Heracleopolis and Memphis, the nearest nome to him was Tebtonis.

There were also exchanges and transactions between Heracleopolis and Tybutunis.

So, when was the last time you communicated with a warlord in Tybutunis?

five days ago?

a week ago?

It won't be long anyway.

From this point of view, it did not take long for the pharaoh's army to conquer Tibutonis.

It will take time to recover Tebutunis, and it will take time to completely occupy a place and maintain order. So now that this army has appeared here, there has not been a long rest in the middle, and it must be exhausted.

In addition, because of the war, the food production in the whole of Egypt is not much, and the food in Pharaoh's hands will not be much. In this way, she must be short of food and grass when she expeditions to Heracleopolis. .

Such an opponent is not difficult to defeat.

Meribra has seen the power of the Pharaoh's Guard in the past, but because there has been no war for a long time, coupled with various corruptions, today's Pharaoh's Guard has somewhat lost its combat effectiveness.

And he has worked hard to train his army for a long time.

Coupled with the backing of the strong city, it is convenient to wait for work at leisure, if it is a direct battle, no matter how you think it should be your own side that wins.

So... it's done!

After thinking about it for a while, Melibura immediately made a decisive decision.

Tomorrow morning, I will fight the opponent head-on.

Although relying on the advantage of defending the city, the possibility of victory is greater, but such a victory cannot lead to a decisive result at all, and the pharaoh who retreated after failure will soon recover.

But field battles are different. Defeating the opponent upright in the field will deal a much greater blow to Pharaoh both militarily and politically.

So after observing for a while, Melibula walked down from the top of the city, came to his barracks, and began to organize soldiers.

That night, as expected, Melibura met the messenger sent by Nitocris.

However, in the face of the envoy's persuasion to surrender, Melibra tore up the letter from Nitocris face to face, and made a wild promise of a decisive battle tomorrow.

...

In the early morning of the second day, the weather was gloomy, matching the chilling atmosphere of the Great War.

Under the city of Heracleopolis, Melibra's army lined up in a square formation, ready to go.

Defeating Pharaoh and competing in the world, Melibra has been waiting for this day for a long time, and they have also been waiting for a long time.

In the original history, they would have to wait a few more years.

Unlike other warlords, because of the willingness to invest in resources, almost everyone in the army under his command is strong and strong. Although the armor is still simple leather armor, and even most people only have leather pants and leather shields, but in In this era, such an army is the norm.

And in terms of weapons, Melibra believes that his army will surprise the opponent.

With the ambition to become a pharaoh, Melibra naturally knows the importance of the army.

If you want to do your job well, you must

To sharpen its weapons first, in order to form a powerful army, Melibula has been collecting craftsmen for a long time to prepare elite weapons.

Today, in the army under his command, everyone is holding high-quality weapons, and there is no such thing as a situation where the blade and the handle are separated when the dagger confronts a person. Egypt's military industry is not developed, and this situation is actually relatively rare in today's Egypt both.

What's even more exaggerated is that Mai Libula even spent a lot of money to form a chariot army with fifty chariots.

You must know that as the decisive force in today's wars, chariots have long been equipped with weapons in large quantities only by pharaohs, and the rest, even nobles from generation to generation, can only keep a few chariots at most...

With such an army, Melibullah believed that she would be able to give this female pharaoh a little surprise.

Thinking of that female pharaoh, Melibra felt a burst of contempt and covetousness.

The former is naturally because he looked down on female pharaohs, and the latter... When Nitocris was still a princess, Melibra met her once, and he was called by Nitocris at that time, the number one in Egypt today. A beautiful woman was deeply shocked by her beauty.

Now thinking that he was going to fight this female pharaoh head-on and win the battle, he even had a different idea.

What a wonderful thing it would be to make this female pharaoh her own queen.
