Pharaoh and her queen

The dull sound of falling into the water, the blood spreading wantonly, soaked the blue coast, mixed with the yellow sand, forming a bloody and weird color.

There are dense corpses floating on the water, including Egyptian soldiers and Hittite soldiers.

The manic wind gathered together the dark clouds in the sky, creating a heavy sense of oppression.

Arrowheads made of flint fell like rain, sparks splashed from the wooden warship, and quickly burned with the help of the wind to form a gorgeous tongue of flame, licking the coast wantonly.

The murderous shouts mixed with the shrill screams pierced the eardrums, and the strong wind brought the burning heat and the burning smell of corpses.

Ye Zhiqing was hiding in the dense bushes not far from the coast, beside her was Hexi with scarlet eyes and her breath getting heavier.

Ye Zhiqing clasped Hirsch's arm tightly, sweat slipped from his tense jaw, his eyes solemnly looked at the Egyptian army who was obviously at a disadvantage, the number of Hittite warships chasing them was obviously different, densely packed, more than expected several times.

Hirsch watched as the Egyptian warships retreated in a panic. He had never seen so many warships during the battle in the Kadesh waters. Thinking of the current situation of the king, Hirsch only felt that the fire seemed to kill her. Her rationality was exhausted, and if Ye Zhiqing hadn't held her hand tightly, Hexi was afraid that she would lose control and rush to fight.

A day ago, Ye Zhiqing followed Hirsch to this sea area to ambush. Ittis did not arrive two days later as planned, but a day earlier, and fled into the dark gorge in a panic.

Outside the dark gorge, there are still a few Egyptian warships struggling to support, trying to delay the attack of the Hittite army and buy more time for Itis to escape.

Under the attack of arrow rain and slingshots taking turns, the remaining warships outside the dark gorge were quickly dismembered and sank one by one.

Tragic, heavy, no one was spared.

The Hittite warship approached the gorge slowly and stopped suddenly.

The distance was enough for Hirsch to see clearly the figure standing on the warship in the center, and his heart sank suddenly. The veins in the hand holding the long sword bulged, and he roared hoarsely, like the mourning of a wild beast.

This is the first time Ye Zhiqing has witnessed such a brutal and brutal fight at such a close distance. He resisted the sour smell in his throat, and looked sideways at Hirsch, who was surrounded by a strong killing atmosphere.

"General Hirsch, you understand that now is not the best time to attack."

"Hey~"

Responding to Ye Zhiqing was a depressing whisper. To the Egyptians, the Pharaoh is equivalent to the existence of the god Amon, and the gods cannot be profaned.

For a while, only the smell of blood lingered on the coast, and the Hittite warship stopped at the mouth of the gorge without moving.

The heart mentioned the throat.

Finally, Hittite's warship moved, but when Ye Zhiqing and Hexi both breathed a sigh of relief, the accident happened suddenly.

The rapid heartbeat was clearly audible, and within a moment, a small puddle of water had accumulated under the feet of Ye Zhiqing and Hexi, which evaporated quickly.

On the scarlet sea soaked in blood, several Hittite warships gathered towards the mouth of the gorge, sticking tightly together, and the soldiers on board went ashore one after another and circled behind the dark gorge. Black smoke billowed out.

The warships of Egypt and Hittites were all made of cedar wood, which is dense but tough, and when it was burned, it could produce thick smoke.

Following the direction of the wind, a large plume of black smoke drifted into the dark gorge.

Hittite actually used the warship as fuel directly, and was about to force the people in the dark gorge out. Hirsch could no longer hold back at this time, and quickly sent the order down, only to hear the loud "rumbling" sound, and the huge stone fell from above the dark gorge. It rolled down and hit the Hittite warship on the sea.

The sound of the wooden boat breaking, the sound of falling into the water, and the screams came together.

The contours of the face were cold and hard, overflowing with fear, Hirsch watched the Hittite warship retreating flexibly with a blank face, and gave another order, and the dense arrow rain rushed towards the Hittite warship on the sea from the bushes behind him, sporadic The spark keeps flickering.

For a while, the wind helped the fire, and the leading Hittite warships burned quickly, and the rear warships retreated in a panic.

The Hittite soldiers who had already landed reacted quickly and rushed towards the bushes.

"Zoser, take her to a safe place," Hirsch said with a resolute fighting spirit all over her body, her scarlet eyes closely watching the battle on the coast.

After ordering a team of cavalry to escort Ye Zhiqing and retreat to a safe place, Hexi raised the long sword in his hand and led the ambushing army down the coast.

There was a fierce clash of weapons behind him, cold and chilling.

Worry, panic, forbearance... All emotions were suppressed by Ye Zhiqing one by one, his face was cold and silent, blood rushed to his brain frantically, and his temples were aching because of too much restraint.

The more critical the situation became, Ye Zhiqing became more sober and calm. When he retreated to a low hill, he pulled the reins and said to Djoser beside him, "Duoser, leave two people behind me, and you take the others. Assist General Hirsch."

The tone is firm and decisive.

Djoser turned around and saw that Ye Zhiqing did not speak, a trace of surprise quickly flashed across his depressed and displeased face, no soldier would be willing to retreat when others were charging forward, especially if the reason for retreating was only because of an insistence. A woman who came to make trouble.

Djoser cursed in a low voice, his burly body trembled, and after a moment of hesitation, his face was determined, "I cannot disobey General Hirsch's order."

Military orders such as mountains also apply in ancient Egypt.

Ye Zhiqing twitched the corners of his mouth that were a little stiff and sore. There were about 30 cavalry in a group, and those who followed Hirsch were the elites of the army. In this critical situation, thirty elite cavalry might be the most influential The key to the battle situation.

I roughly estimated the distance from the sand dunes to the coast. Hiding behind the sand dunes, I can see the battle situation on the coast at a glance. It is difficult for the war to spread here in a short time.

"Zoser, go back. My words are also orders. Your mission is on the battlefield, not here." Ye Zhiqing's eyes were sharp, and the power that made people surrender involuntarily diffused instantly.

Hearing Ye Zhiqing's words, Djoser was a little surprised, but more moved. Regardless of life or death, the mission of a soldier is always on the battlefield.

Taking a deep look at Ye Zhiqing, he turned around, and Djoser and his party drove away quickly.

The galloping horseshoes kicked up the sand all over the sky. Ye Zhiqing dismounted after watching Djoser’s group disappear from sight. He looked up at the sky. The sky was dark and the black clouds were churning. It was a sign of rain, but until now, no rain has fallen. .

As if thinking of something, Ye Zhiqing suddenly withdrew his gaze and walked hard up the sand dunes.

The battle situation has been significantly improved due to the appearance of the Egyptian army that had ambushed in advance, and the speed of the Hittite soldiers going ashore has slowed down significantly.

But Ye Zhiqing's brows became tighter and tighter, and his eyes were fixed on the burning warships on the sea. The wind was strong, and the fire was also burning bigger and bigger, and there was no tendency to burn it out.

Most of the black smoke produced by the burning was blown into the dark gorge along the wind. If the battle situation remained stalemate, Ye Zhiqing suspected that people in the dark gorge would suffocate to death due to the increasing concentration of smoke.

No matter how brave and skilled the army led by Hirsch was, it was helpless against the well-equipped Hittite navy.

Ye Zhiqing's mind was blank for a few breaths. The Hittite ship did not chase into the dark gorge according to Itis' plan, but guarded the gorge to force her out.

What is even more unoptimistic is that the ambushed army has now been exposed to Hittite's eyes. Now the outcome of the battle is almost predictable, and the rest is just a matter of time.

Ye Zhiqing closed his eyes and quickly recalled all the details of the whole plan. The most fatal mistake in the whole plan was that the number of Hittite warships suddenly increased several times.

According to the recent battle between Egypt and the Hittites, the Itis plan made the most reasonable estimate of the number of Hittite warships that would chase after them. This is the place where mistakes are least likely to occur, but something went wrong.

The interlocking plan broke directly. Now Ittis is trapped in the dark gorge, and the cavalry led by Hirsch is completely unable to fight at sea. Bureau.

As if to confirm Ye Zhiqing's guess, the Hittite army slowed down the attack on the shore, and continued to seal the gorge with warships. The fire was burning unscrupulously. Ye Zhiqing seemed to be able to hear the crisp "cracking" of the burning wood. "Voice.

The worst has come.

Is it true that the trajectory of major historical events will not deviate in the slightest, no matter how hard I struggle, it will not help.

A strong sense of death and desolation surged from Ye Zhiqing's body, and he came to another world inexplicably, could he just witness everything happening according to the established track.

Could it be that this time she is really desperate, can she return to 21C after she dies?

No, she is not reconciled.

Bright light and shadow suddenly burst out from the deep black eyes, the strong wind accelerated the loss of body moisture, and Ye Zhiqing's tightly pursed lips began to roll out white dead skin.

Thinking frantically about the way to break the situation, Itis is trapped in the dark gorge, and her safety is in danger. This is the root of all Hirsch's actions. The only way to break the situation is...

Ye Zhiqing cast his eyes far away, landed on the burning warship, and moved up to follow the smoke that was blown into the sky.

There was a dull thunder in the air, and Ye Zhiqing suddenly stood up and said to the two people behind him, "Go to General Hittite immediately and tell her to set the bushes behind the coast on fire, all of them, quickly."

Ye Zhiqing's voice was hoarse and she couldn't hide the trembling, her whole body was trembling, which was extremely inconsistent with her calm face.

"Go and tell her, if you want to save the king, do it as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Zhiqing got on his horse and followed closely behind, and ran towards the coast.

Ye Zhiqing clamped the horse's belly tightly, with a cold expression on his face. The experienced cavalrymen had superb equestrian skills, and disappeared from her sight in a short while.

Lived up to expectations, wisps of black smoke appeared in sight together with the bushes, the air was dry, the wind was strong, and quickly became a sea of ​​flames, mercilessly devouring all combustibles.

The air was quickly dyed with scorching heat, and everyone involuntarily looked towards the magnificent sea of ​​flames.

Under the blazing firelight, one man and one horse, messy curly hair, endless black eyes, calm face, bright orange robes dyed by the firelight, as if a god descended, absolutely beautiful, breathtaking.
