Chapter 84 - Lonely City-5000(2/2)
Sneak into the water gate.
In the last battle, the big lighthouse had been destroyed by Kirk. Without the omnipresent light, night became an excellent opportunity for the Romans to make sneak attacks all night. Fortunately, Cleopatra also had a way, using pork yin.
*The old tactics of the Nile crocodile. Maybe the god Ameng really favored Cleopatra (in Egyptian murals, Ameng
One of the common cartoon images of God G is a hippopotamus head, eagle feathers, lion legs, and dragging a huge Nile crocodile tail, which is so cute). With the help of these old native residents, many human bodies sent by Anthony
Bombs and terrorists were all killed by crocodiles. Even those who arrived at the Watergate were shot to death by the well-prepared Egyptian defenders.
In the end, it was a naked human meat grinder and a brutal siege battle between both sides!
The Romans relied on the tactics of human waves that were several times larger!
The most despicable thing is that Antony did not use his Roman soldiers as cannon fodder to charge into the battle. Instead, he captured a large number of Egyptians, pointed their weapons at them, and the Romans supported them with shields. They slowly moved to the bottom of the city and began to attack the city!
At the same time, the Roman trebuchets began to rain down bullets, and tens of thousands of archers shot the sky-shielding rain of arrows at the city wall!
Cleopatra burst into tears, looking at the Egyptian people who fell to the ground wailing in the rain of arrows, she was so filled with hatred that her silver teeth almost broke!
These despicable guys will do anything to achieve their goals!
Cleopatra was so angry!
Maybe Antony did achieve some effect, reducing the death of Roman soldiers during the siege, but it caused people in Alexandria and even Egypt to be angry at the Roman invaders!
She ordered Mosuo to launch a counterattack against the Roman offensive as soon as possible!
Mosuo was also an experienced general. Under his deployment, the Egyptian Pharaoh's legions risked their lives and fought a bloody battle with Antony and Octavian's attacking legions on the city wall!
The defenders made full use of Alexandria's favorable terrain with the Nile River as a moat and epic walls as defenses. They used trebuchets, crossbows, and bows and arrows to greet Antony, and neutralized the Roman offensive in one wave.
Apart from thousands of corpses and mountains of corpses piled up under the city walls, Antony gained nothing else from his day-long attack.
Octavian was very calm and did not take Antony's fierce offensive, but adopted a gentler and more vicious siege strategy!
He stood on a high hill, looking coldly at the splendid Egyptian palace, looking at the extremely wealthy streets, markets and temples, and coldly ordered to Volennos and Puluo behind him: "
Let’s do it!”
Voronos looked embarrassed: "Your Excellency Octavian, do you really want to do that? This will cause great dissatisfaction among the Egyptian people, and the entire city will be destroyed!"
Octavian waved his hand: "Can we conquer this city if we don't do this? Don't forget, there is also the elusive Kirk, and he also has Spartacus as his right-hand man. Although Caesar executed a wonderful trick
Divide the troops to defeat the tactics, and there are cavalry around you
The invincible Lepidus, but I have a feeling that Kirk will not be so easy to deal with. If they appear under the city of Alexandria, it will not be so easy for us to conquer this fortified city. Don’t let Mother-in-law and Mother-in-law take Pluo to
