I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 432 The Hero God Hammurabi Arrives

During the Third Dynasty of Ur - around 2100 BC, the people of light who worshiped Almighty God lived a nomadic life on the high desert of southern Syria.

As the power of the Amorites expanded, the Light people were forced to migrate to the Phoenician region.

Eventually, due to the increase in population, a branch of the Light Tribe migrated to Egypt and became the Light Tribe under the rule of John.

The Amorites living in southern Syria founded the city of Katna near the northern plains.

Because of the harsh environment of the plateau desert in southern Syria, there is only one city of Katna on this 80,000 square kilometers of plateau desert, which proves that the number of Amorites in southern Syria is not large.

Roy entered southern Syria with a thousand cavalry and 19,000 infantry. After conquering all the Amorite living areas, including the city of Katna, it was confirmed that there were only about 100,000 Amorites in southern Syria.

After killing the Amorite royal family in Katna City and the leaders and nobles of various Amorite tribes, Loy left 10,000 soldiers to manage the Amorites in southern Syria, and took away the most important local strategic materials-war horses.

After losing their horses, even if the Amorites had a numerical advantage, they would not be able to resist the soldiers left by Roy with wooden or stone spears.

The city of Telga is located in the middle reaches of the Euphrates River.

After the decline of the Babylonian Kingdom, the rulers of Telga used this city as their capital and established the Kingdom of Hana, which included Telga, Haradum, and Hit.

As the capital of the Kingdom of Hana, King Hana assembled five thousand soldiers in Telga to deal with a possible war launched by the Hittite Kingdom.

On the day agreed between Roy and the Hittite princess Hatpurna, Hatpurna brought Hantili, Tielieping and 20,000 Hittite soldiers to Telga City. Roy also brought 10,000 Hittite soldiers. The soldiers arrived at Telga City on time.

After Roy brought 10,000 cavalry to join the Hittite Kingdom's army, Hatepuna, fully armed and hiding her face with a helmet, came to Roy and asked in surprise.

"Why do you have so many war horses?"

Roy explained with a smile while looking at the chariot that Hatepuna was riding in.

"Originally I only had a thousand cavalry, but before I came here, I took my soldiers to conquer the Amorites in southern Syria and confiscated their war horses. After all, in this era, war horses are very important war materials. "

After hearing Roy's explanation, Hatepuna couldn't help but complain.

"We are fighting a siege. How will these war horses help the siege? These war horses will only waste food. Just kill them all and eat their meat!"

"no!"

Roy refused without hesitation.

"Although these war horses are not helpful for siege, they are helpful for fast marching. If I want to effectively rule the Mesopotamian plains, I cannot do without fast-moving cavalry."

"Can I assume that you don't want Athenian soldiers to participate in the siege?"

Hatepuna said with some dissatisfaction.

"Then you just stay aside and watch how our Hittite Kingdom conquers Telga City. After plundering Telga City's wealth and women, we will give Telga City to you as a trophy."

"Are you so generous?"

"Before your Athenian Empire conquered the Phoenician region, we had already formulated a plan to destroy the Kingdom of Babylon. Even if you didn't show up, we would capture the city of Telga, rob the city of Telga's wealth and women, and finally destroy the kingdom of Babylon. Abandon the city of Telga. Now we take the initiative to give the city of Telga to the Athens Empire. I just hope that you will remember our alliance and not do anything detrimental to us. "

"Princess Hatepuna, I also want to tell you a fact. In fact, I have also made a plan to destroy the Kingdom of Babylon. Even if your Hittite Kingdom does not attack the Kingdom of Babylon, I will lead the Athenian soldiers to destroy the Kingdom of Babylon and Mesopotamia. The Potamian plain was included in the territory of the Athenian Empire.”

Hartepuna obviously didn't take Roy's words seriously.

After rolling her eyes at Roy, Hatepuna returned to Hantili and Tieliepin and asked them to lead the soldiers to attack Telga City.

As the Hittite kings who usurped the throne in the history of another world, Hantili and Tieliepin both had the strength of demigod heroes [enemies of ten thousand people].

The two of them attack Telga City together, and there will naturally be no suspense about the outcome of this war.

Under Roy's expectant gaze, Han Tili and Tie Lieping led two thousand-man teams and rushed to the wall of Telga City.

King Hanar is also a demigod hero [enemy of ten thousand people].

Seeing the two demigod heroes in the Hittite Kingdom, King Hana did not choose to fight them personally. Instead, he prayed loudly on the walls of Telga.

"The great ancestor Hammurabi - the heroic god worshiped by all Amorites! Please respond to my call for help and destroy the enemies of our Amorites."

Along with King Hana's prayer, a golden divine light fell from the sky.

After the golden divine light disappeared, a young king wearing a golden crown and holding a golden scepter appeared next to King Hana.

"It's a shame you dared to summon me!"

Hammurabi glanced at the Hittites attacking the city, then looked at King Hana with an indifferent expression and said.

"I established a strong and unified Babylonian kingdom during my lifetime, but you unworthy descendants have torn my Babylonian kingdom into pieces, and you still want to ask for my help."

Faced with Hammurabi's accusation, King Hana explained innocently.

"Twenty years after your death, our Babylonian Kingdom lost control of the Sumerian region. Without the wealth and manpower of the Sumerian region as support, the Babylonian Kingdom was inevitably torn apart. How can we blame our descendants for this?"

As the most famous king of the Babylonian Kingdom, the promulgator of the [Code of Hammurabi], Hammurabi certainly knew that there were accidental factors in his ability to unify the Mesopotamian Plain during his lifetime.

If it had not been for the lucky use of the struggles between various forces, even Hammurabi would not have been able to unify the Mesopotamian Plain.

The Babylonian Kingdom is now in pieces, and it is really not the fault of descendants.

"Humph!"

After staring at King Hana with a majestic look, Hammurabi raised the golden scepter and walked towards Hantiri.

At this time, Hantiri had already climbed the wall of Telga City. Seeing Hammurabi approaching him, Hantiri took the initiative to wave the black iron spear to attack.

Hammurabi dodged Hantiri's attack with great speed, and then hit Hantiri's left shoulder with the golden scepter.

With a muffled thud!

Hantili's body flew backwards from the city wall and fell to the ground in a mess.

After knocking Hantili off the city wall, Hammurabi turned and walked towards Telepin.

Telepin had just seen Hammurabi knock Hantili down to the city wall.

Seeing that Hammurabi had targeted him, Telepin took the initiative to jump off the city wall.

Without the leadership of the two demigod heroes Hantili and Telepin, the Hittite soldiers who could have rushed to the city wall were immediately suppressed by the soldiers of Telga.

Roy looked at the situation on the battlefield and couldn't help but be shocked by the power of Hammurabi, the hero god.

The way Hammurabi defeated Hantili looked like an adult defeating a child.
