Chapter 685：

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

In short, due to the long-term chaos and the contempt for the female pharaoh, Nitocris's efforts to govern in the past four years have not attracted the attention of the rebels at all.

So now, they have to pay for their carelessness.

Although he couldn't believe it, since the emergency report came from the head of the city, Mailibura believed his subordinates, so he immediately ordered the mobilization of weapons and supplies, and at the same time he rushed to the head of the city.

Then he saw that a black army was camping in the rolling yellow sand in the distance. Their banner was the symbol of the Pharaoh. As the governor of the past, Melibula was quite familiar with this.

Sure enough, this is indeed Pharaoh's army.

Heracles Opolis and the city of the pharaohs, the capital of Memphis, are not adjacent to each other, and there are several noms in between.

What does the presence of the Pharaoh's army mean now?

Those Noams were probably captured by the Pharaoh.

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

Item 0847

The appearance of the Pharaoh's army made Melibra a panic, but he soon woke up and saw the opportunity contained in the accident.

What is his dream of Melibula, to replace the current royal family, become the new pharaoh, and then unify Egypt and make an immortal merit.

In this process, Pharaoh's power is a big obstacle between him and Yewang.

To become a new pharaoh, either the current pharaoh regime will collapse, or he will have to defeat the pharaoh head-on.

And now, isn't the opportunity here?

Pharaoh's army came from afar to attack Heracles Opris.

In the process, the Pharaoh probably had recovered several Noms.

If he can defeat Pharaoh's army, his fame will spread throughout Egypt at once, and everyone will worship him in front of his mighty power.

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

With such an opportunity to step on the upper hand of the pharaoh today, can he still grasp it?

Think about it carefully, Pharaoh walked all the way, it takes time and energy to regain Nome on the road.

In the direction of Heracles Opris and Memphis, the nearest Nome to him is Tabu Tunis.

There were also exchanges and transactions between Heracles Oplis and Tabutunis.

So, when was the last time we communicated with the warlords in Tabutunis?

Five days ago?

A week ago?

In short it will not be long.

It seems that the time for Pharaoh's army to conquer Tabutunis hasn't been long.

It takes time to regain Tabutunis. It takes time to completely occupy a place and maintain order. So now this army appears here without a long rest in the middle, and it must have been exhausted.

In addition, because of the war, the whole of Egypt did not have much food, and the Pharaoh didn’t have much food in his hands. In this way, she must have insufficient food and grass on the expedition to Heracles Opolis and lack of people and horses. .

Such an opponent is not difficult to defeat.

The power of the Pharaoh Guard has been seen by Melibula in the past, but because there has been no war for a long time, coupled with all kinds of corruption, the Pharaoh Guard has somewhat lost its combat effectiveness.

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

In addition, relying on the strong city with his back, waiting for work with ease, if you are fighting head-on, you should be the only one who thinks about victory.

So... it's done!

After much thinking, Mailibula immediately made a decisive decision.

Tomorrow morning, fight head-on.

Although relying on the advantage of defending the city, the possibility of victory is greater, but such a victory cannot cause a decisive result at all, and the Pharaoh who has failed and retreated will soon be relieved.

But the field battle is different. Defeating the opponent upright in a field battle will hit the Pharaoh both militarily and politically much harder.

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

That night, as expected, Mailibura saw the messenger sent by Nitocris.

However, in the face of the messenger's persuasion, Melibula tore up the letter from Nitocris face-to-face, and set up the arrogance of a decisive battle tomorrow.

...

In the early morning of the second day, the weather was gloomy, and the atmosphere of war and killing was in harmony.

Under the city of Heracles Opolis, Mailibula's army formed a square formation, ready to go.

Defeating the Pharaoh and competing in the world, Melibula has waited for this day for a long time, and they have also waited for a long time.

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

Unlike other warlords, because Melibula was willing to invest resources, almost everyone under his command was strong and physically strong. Although the armor was still simple leather armor, most people even only had leather pants and leather shields. In this era, such an army is the norm.

In terms of weapons, McLibra believes that his army will surprise opponents.

With the ambition to become a pharaoh, McLibra naturally knew the importance of the army.

Workers must first sharpen their weapons if they want to do well. In order to form a powerful army, Melibula has been collecting craftsmen and preparing elite weapons a long time ago.

Today, in his army, everyone is holding high-quality weapons. There is no situation where the blade and the handle are separated when a dagger is in a confrontation with a person. The military industry in Egypt is not developed. It's all.

Even more exaggerated is that Mailibula even spent a lot of money to form a chariot army with fifty tanks.

You know, as the decisive force in today's war, chariots have long been equipped with large quantities of weapons only by the pharaohs, and the rest, even if they are generations of nobles, have at most a few chariots...

With such an army, McLibra believes that he will be able to surprise the female pharaoh today.

At the thought of the female pharaoh, Melibula felt a sigh of contempt and covetousness.

The former is naturally because of despising the female pharaoh, while the latter... When Nitocris was still a princess, Mailibura met her. At that time, he was regarded by Nitocris as the number one in Egypt today. The beauty of a beautiful woman was deeply shocked.

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

What a wonderful thing if this female pharaoh could become her own queen.
