Chapter 686：

Moreover, with the blood of the previous pharaoh as the queen, is it easier to become a pharaoh?

It is rumored that the female pharaoh favored a little white face from a foreign country, but it didn't matter, Melibula didn't care about this, after all, such a beautiful woman, with such an identity, and only she in Egypt is worthy of him.

Melibula, who wanted to get into trouble, soon finally woke up and led his army into the battlefield.

He couldn't wait to defeat his opponent, he wanted to hold the pharaoh in his hand.

However, after seeing his opponent on the battlefield, Melibula was instantly dumbfounded.

It’s not that the heroism and majesty on the battlefield of Nitocris is not enough to attract him, nor is it that Nitocris and the "little white face" around him in a chariot cannot make him angry, but because of Nito. Chrissy’s army is too strong, beyond Melibula’s imagination.

In fact, in terms of military strength, both sides of the battlefield are equal. Although Nitocris led nearly 50,000 troops when he went out, in fact, most of them are garrison troops. It is okay to garrison one side, but it is positive. The combat words did not meet the requirements of Nitocris-of course, only the requirements of Nitocris.

These garrison troops were naturally used to garrison troops after conquering a place.

But now there are only 10,000 or 20,000 troops facing Melibula on the battlefield, which is about the same as his subordinates.

But these 20,000 people, with their equipment and momentum alone, dealt a huge blow to the self-esteem Malibula.

Item 0848

Even Mailibura had to admit that the army in front of him was the army he dreamed of.

At the forefront of the team, there are terrible chariot soldiers. Unlike Melibula’s chariot, the horses in front of the Pharaoh’s chariot are all wearing vests, and the chariots appear taller and stronger. More importantly, they are now appearing. There are hundreds of tanks in front of him, several times his number.

And behind the chariot is a group of monsters covered in metal armor.

It is said to be a monster, but in fact it is a unit of heavy infantry that has never appeared in Egypt.

These heavy infantry are covered with gold-plated metal armor, covering them tightly. Ordinary blades and arrows can't harm them at all, but they are a tall man, holding a heavy axe, and they know it at a glance. An unstoppable warrior, Melibra could already guess the consequences of these infantry breaking into his formation.

On the wings and rear of the heavy infantry, there are ordinary soldiers.

The soldiers were dressed in luxurious full-body leather armor and armed with sharp weapons that looked extremely sharp. They were lined up in a neat formation. The whole team was silent, and no one had extra moves. They just stood there, and the momentum of killing was utterly calm. pregnancy.

On their two wings are the cavalry. Compared with the infantry, the cavalry formation is more scattered, but there are hundreds of them in number. Compared with the infantry, the cavalry itself is larger in size, so it looks terrifying from a distance.

At the end of the team, there was a tall wooden machine. Melibula didn't know what these machines were, but it was definitely not a good match to be able to appear on the battlefield.

Looking at the luxuriously equipped, well-trained, and command-and-forbid army before him, and looking at the army that was not as good as the opposing army in terms of quantity, level of training, and equipment, McLibra sighed.

Except for the generals, no one under his command can wear metal armor at all.

The ghost knew how the pharaoh found so many armors.

It seems that this battle is difficult.

Mailibura looked at the opposite side again. At this moment, the golden and graceful figure in the enemy army was so terrifying in his eyes.

"You were deceived..." Melibra whispered to himself softly.

"What are you talking about?" the general next to him asked.

"All of us were deceived," Melibra shook his head and said to himself, "Everyone underestimated the female pharaoh and built such an army silently, this woman, too It's terrible."

The generals around them also looked earthy. To tell the truth, they also felt desperate in the face of such an army.

Mailibula even gave birth to the idea of ​​withdrawing troops altogether.

But this idea was immediately abandoned.

Yesterday he vowed to mobilize the army, and in the evening he announced the decisive battle tomorrow in front of the envoys to persuade him to surrender. Then he had a face-to-face meeting with the opponent today and fled. After this kind of thing was done, he himself was ashamed, the morale of the army plummeted, and there was no resistance at all. Will is the big thing.

Instead of running away and being captured by the opponent, it is better to bite the bullet and fight the opponent. Maybe the opponent's command error was defeated? The battlefield is changing rapidly, anything can happen.

Thinking about this, he ordered the whole army to prepare, and then take the initiative to attack.

The enemy's position is so terrible that even ordinary soldiers can see the gap between the enemy and ourselves. In this case, they must take the initiative to regain their momentum. Otherwise, if the enemy is allowed to charge, the army may even fail to withstand the pressure and collapse.

With an order from Melibra, the Heracliopalis army started slowly, and the soldiers moved forward step by step in a neat step.

Generally speaking, the order of formal warfare in this period is that the two sides are close to each other, the archers of both sides shoot at each other, the chariots face the impact, the cavalry flanks harass, and the infantry then covers and kills.

Of course, the warrior's frontal provocation and then single-handedness as a foreplay for the start of the war occasionally exist, but Milebula is not so stupid to do so. Everyone knows that no one can compare to the royal family of the descendants of God in terms of loudness. .

As the Heraklion Opposite army began to advance, Nitocris also issued the order to advance.

In this way, the phalanx of the two sides gradually approached with a "rumble" pace.

Three hundred steps.

Two hundred and fifty steps.

Two hundred steps.

One hundred and fifty steps.

When the distance between the two sides was about one hundred and fifty steps, Nitocris ordered the army to stop.

How is this going?

Generally speaking, the Egyptian army will only stop shooting at a distance of 20 or 30 steps, and the chariots will attack, because the bows used by Egyptian archers are too primitive and the range is really limited.

So why did the Pharaohs stop so far?

Melibra was a little puzzled, but he didn't stop his soldiers. After all, it was too late to change tactics casually in this situation.

Then, he saw that the large wooden machinery in the enemy's formation moved.

I saw the slaves near the machine put a huge sphere into the machine, and then began to pull the rope at the other end...

Hearing a "whoo-" sound, the huge sphere was instantly projected out by the machine and flew in their direction.

"How is it possible? That is actually a catapult!?" Melibra was shocked, "Isn't the catapult used to siege cities? How could it move?"

Malibula didn't want to understand the principle at all. In his mind, the trebuchet was not like that at all. The real trebuchet should be a tall and complicated machine, and it must take several hours before the siege. It can be used only when it is built, and it has no mobility at all.

In fact, the catapult used by the Pharaohs is a newer type of small mobile catapult designed by Ye Ting, or it can also be called a catapult. Although it does not have the powerful range and power of a real catapult, it can be moved when pulled up. It is very convenient to use in the battlefield.

I saw that the flying stone-like sphere was launched by a trebuchet, and then slammed into the tail of the Heracles Opalis army. The ground was immediately smashed out of a big pit, and the two unlucky ones were smashed into meat sauce.

"Fortunately, fortunately, to the end."

Although Malibula wondered why only one trebuchet was activated, he secretly rejoiced that it did not hit the formation. What he was most worried about was not how many people would be killed, but that the trebuchet would disrupt the formation of the square.

In a cold weapon war, no matter how fancy the so-called formations are, there is only one core point, that is, there are more local people and fewer people.

Therefore, a tight formation is very important.
