[Egyptian doujinshi] The legend of flattery and misfortune

According to the news from Princess Anda from the north, the two princes of Amu Province obviously did not remember their lesson. After Egypt used the hands of Assyria to hit them head-on, it aroused even more resentment.Since the Bedouins had been surrendered by Ramses along the way to the point where they could not fight back, the province of Amu spent a lot of money to lobby the city of Megiddo, requesting that the fortress leading to the Euphrates River be able to form an alliance with itself.

Megiddo is a mountain city, and mountain cities often mean poverty, and the city lord has no way to refuse the large amount of gold and silver.When Senasa led the army to Yeen, the enemy forces in Amu Province and Megiddo had already assembled.This is a very good idea for the allies who have just teamed up, that is, to win the victory in one fell swoop and destroy all his prestige while the foreign pharaoh, Sai Nasha, is not gaining a firm foothold.

Egypt is really an ancient empire that is too rich and powerful, which has caused Egyptians to be very xenophobic and contemptuous of foreigners.The Egyptians regarded foreigners as dust under the pharaoh's feet, and the pharaoh gained supreme power and glory by defeating them.The images of foreigners were even carved on the floor and carved on cowhide sandals so that the Egyptians could step on them with pride.

It was a miracle that Sai Nasha was able to reach Egypt safely and successfully climbed to the top. One can imagine the various conspiracies he will face to the outside world.Everyone knew that if he made a mistake, even if he lost a battle, it would be enough to bring him to a point where he would never be able to recover.All the city-states in Syria and Palestine who are still waiting to see the slightest wavering in Egypt will inevitably follow in the footsteps of speculators and rebel unanimously.

Sai Nasha also understood this truth, in front of him was either the golden road leading to the top of the pyramid, or the bottomless abyss, but he was still full of courage and would never choose a mediocre path for this.

Ramses spread out the map in front of him. There are three roads from Yeen to Megiddo, which can be divided into north, middle, and south according to their directions.According to Senasa's conception, he needs to strike the enemy most quickly and effectively, and minimize the casualties of the Egyptian army in the initial battle, so that he can deter all the subjects in this area.

Both the north and south trails will bypass Yeen and pass through the mountains between Megiddo. The terrain is flat and relatively safe for large troops to pass, but they will detour nearly half of the distance and are easy to be discovered by the enemy.Sai Nasha's eyes fell on the small path between the north and the south, as long as one passes through a narrow valley, one can go straight to Megiddo, but once the enemy finds out and sets up an ambush, the result can be imagined.

If Ramses was in charge of the overall situation, he would choose to take risks.But Senasa is a pharaoh, and Ramses sensibly suggested that the pharaoh's safety should be the most important thing, but once this is the case, the Egyptian army will face a tough battle to siege the city. As an aggressive commander, La Muse was also very hesitant.

Senasa folded her arms and watched Ramses hesitate to speak, and kicked the pedals under her feet: "Don't hesitate, Ramses, this is not like you. Tell me, what will you do?"

"The army of the province of Ammu has entered Megiddo, and has also united a small number of foreigners who were originally loyal to Egypt, and even small city-states as far as Naharim, including the horses and troops of Hor and Kedi. And the people. The two princes obviously haven’t been taught a lesson, and the spies have sent back a message that the two wanted to impress the Egyptian Pharaoh.” Ramses swallowed: “I really want to teach them a lesson, but only if It was us, more than 1 people and 5000 people from Assyria who managed to reach Megiddo."

Sai Nasha asked Sid Halle again: "What about your suggestion? Don't let me down."

Sid Halle was obviously more worried than Ramses: "I asked the mountain people for information. The trail in the middle is too narrow. It is so narrow that you can only pass one by one. If the enemy is waiting at the other end , It is impossible to fight at all. I think we can choose the road north of Megiddo, which is shorter than the south road anyway. Your Majesty, I am not afraid of danger, but I am afraid that you will encounter danger."

In good conscience, Ramses agreed with Sid Haller's words this time, at least this kid did not encourage his master to be brave.

"Sid Halle, have you forgotten that we are all people from the plateau, but do you think I'm afraid of mountains and valleys?" Seeing that the two of them didn't understand his intentions, Sai Nasha regarded himself as a man in a deep palace. The noble man in the palace couldn't help being angry, and kicked his foot pedal: "Those who want to walk on the flat road, go ahead, as for the warriors who want to challenge, come with me. I will not let my soldiers walk on my path." ahead, the order for this march is to be led by Pharaoh."

Ramses swallowed the words he wanted to persuade. If he could choose to be a hero himself, why should he persuade Senasa to be a coward?Because he is Pharaoh?No, the pharaohs of Egypt always lead by example.

"Your Majesty, you must know Ahmose, the great liberator who started this dynasty, and who drove the invaders from Egypt, the Hyksos. But the Egyptians will not forget his father, Kamose, who Knowing that the opponent was strong, he still took the lead to rush into the enemy camp and was hacked to death by the enemy's ax." Ramses's voice was solemn, completely different from his previous appearance: "No Egyptian will To despise him, the scars on his mummy's head speak only of his courage."

"I'm glad you can say that, Ramses." Senasa picked up his black iron dagger and stabbed it hard on the middle path of the map: "If you don't want to be swayed by those who only have interests in your eyes The traitors found out, and we are going to set off as soon as it gets dark."

For fear of being discovered by the enemy, it is strictly forbidden for the vanguard to light a large number of lighting torches, usually one for ten people, the leader moves two steps, and then passes it to the next person to illuminate the path under his feet until dawn. The forward speed was only slightly accelerated.Ramses thought a little impolitely, the pharaoh was indeed a native of Xitai from the plateau, and Sai Nasha, who walked in the mountains, was just like those agile monkeys in Nubia.

In addition to this risk-taking vanguard, the southern wing led by Sid Halle also marched from Mount Tanakh at the same time, while the northern wing was handed over to the Assyrians to cross the China Valley.According to historical records, Pharaoh Thutmose V entered the canyon on the night of No. 17, the first month of summer in the Egyptian calendar, and walked out of the narrow passage in the early morning of No. 19. Egyptian soldiers spread all over the exit.

When the last person stepped out of the dangerous path, the sun was already in the sky.

Senasa chose the south gate of Megiddo as the attack point, set up camp on the bank of the Qina River, and carefully concealed his traces in the woods. There are too many conspiracyrs with ulterior motives and different purposes gathered in the city of Megiddo. Or, they disagree, they are busy arguing all day long and snatching the fruits of victory that have not yet been obtained, completely unaware that the Egyptian pharaoh is already sharpening his sword.Those army tents pitched outside Megiddo seemed to be prepared for a crazy celebration.

On the No.20 day of the first month of summer, it is a festival to celebrate the moon god, and the city of Megiddo actually set about arranging sacrificial ceremonies.Sai Nasha took advantage of the fact that the people in the city did not know whether to live or die, and announced that Tianming's entire army would set off, and accidentally joined forces with the north and south wings before leaving.He originally wanted to treat these two teams as the rear of the army, but Sid Halle and Anda were very competitive and arrived ahead of schedule.

Senasa boarded the golden chariot pulled by peach blossom horses, put on the bronze battle armor carved with the eagle Horus, and ordered an attack on the unsuspecting Megiddo like the master of the battlefield.In just one meeting, the Megiddo coalition forces who were fighting hastily left many strong West Asian horses and gold and silver carriages along the way, and ran barefoot into the city without hesitation.

The Assyrian chariot offensive was also very fierce and fierce, disintegrating the last resistance forces of Megiddo in an instant.The people in the city felt bad and hurriedly closed the city gate.The fleeing soldiers had no choice but to call the people on the city to hang down the clothes they were connected to and hang them up, so as to escape for their lives.Senasa ordered to the left and right that the soldiers were strictly prohibited from picking up the trophies dropped by the opponent, and called the archers to step forward and shoot fiercely at the wall. In an instant, several layers of corpses were piled up under the city of Megiddo.

Afterwards, Ramses led people to count the loot, and found that Megiddo had left the main tent behind. The small but exquisite tent was all paved with silver, and only the silver-clad cedar wood pillar was used to support it. Surprisingly enough, the majestic Egyptian pharaohs did not have the luxury of living in these small city-states' enemies.That night, the Egyptian soldiers received bread and beef. After they were full, they began to dig a ditch under the city of Megiddo, and then built a wall with the surrounding wood. Unless they surrendered, no one could go out of the wall. The Egyptians jokingly called this wooden fence "the Hepurla Gate that besieged the Asians".

Before the end of the first month of summer, the leaders of the traitors crawled out of the city of Megiddo. They came from Yanoan, Irugus, and Helen Cru, and they crawled all the way to Senasa , to kiss Pharaoh's feet.And dedicate the gold, silver, sapphire, red and green chalcedony, food, wine, and large and small livestock that he brought to Megiddo to the Egyptians. Sai Nasha did not kill them, but he will no longer trust them. A new attorney was appointed.

All people participated in the rebellion driven by profit, and no one would gamble with their own lives. Seeing that those who surrendered to Pharaoh were not condemned, they even took their lives.The city of Mejiddo could no longer maintain peace, and an internal strife broke out inside the city gate. The instigator, the prince of Amu Province, was captured and pushed in front of Sai Nasha.

The princes in Amu Province would rather die than surrender, but Sai Nasha ignored them, and only lightly told Princess Anda to cut off their heads, and the heads of these traitors would be brought back to Egypt for public display.

Taking advantage of the victory, the Egyptians continued to march, and all the city-states along the way were frightened. Sai Nasha conquered twelve castles all the way, most of which were surrendered directly, and only five heads were cut off.Due to too many spoils, the clerk had to use a carriage alone to transport the list of war materials, including 800 captives, 5000 war horses, pregnant mares and stallions, and various gold-plated chariots of the commanders of the kings Thirty vehicles, more than [-] ordinary chariots, [-] pieces of leather armor and bronze armor, and more than [-] heads of various livestock.

In addition to the distribution to the soldiers, Sai Nasha also made a huge fortune. A full cart of gold and silver utensils and a gold-covered chair made of ivory, sandalwood and fragrant wood were given to Akenna flattering gift.The Egyptians also had to stay in the wealthy area of ​​Syria for an extra month. The soldiers were both weapons and farmers. They harvested all the wheat of the rebel city-state, with a total of 20 bales.The more than 20 bags have not been included in the daily consumption of the army, and Megiddo's property is really amazing.

Senasa deeply felt that the Egyptian pharaohs in the past were too tolerant of these West Asian city-states. Not only did they rarely ask for tribute, but they believed these city-states’ cry of poverty, and they gave rewards from time to time.

What is even more strange is that Sid Haller also found more than 500 packets of frankincense in the basement of Megiddo.

When Senasa was about to set off, he found that half a year had passed. He had received letters from Akenami in bits and pieces during the march, and he knew that her belly was protruding like a cute little round mound.Standing on the chariot, he let out a long breath towards the west towards the Mediterranean Sea. After this journey in West Asia, he laid a good foundation for what Sai Nasha would do next.

At least he would like to thank the Egyptians for their consistency in foreign affairs. Everyone would like to see the reconquest of West Asia, even the Empress Dowager and Homheb did not have much trouble.Of course if he failed, they wouldn't even have to stumble.This allowed him to face up to the domestic problems in Xitai again. The senate, which was scattered and composed of many ethnic groups, was as vulnerable as Megiddo's coalition forces.The prosperity of Xitai depends entirely on the appeal of a strong ruler. Once the ruler is a little weak, the future of Xitai will never be optimistic.

It is impossible for Kailu, who sat in this seat, to know that the structure of Xitai is an alliance regime, and even this emperor with outstanding qualifications may not be able to make any changes.Xili felt that there was no problem, and she would still be moved by the democratic advancement of the Western Taiwan regime 3000 years ago.

At this time, Akenami looked at the two visitors in front of her suspiciously. Neft, like her, was holding her stomach, and her eyes almost popped out: "Oh my god, imperial concubine, you...you..." Then she thought about her stomach, and was embarrassed to find that a married concubine was much more normal than an unmarried self. When she found out that Meng Dali's waist was not right, she had accepted this wonderful fact, and she was angry Said: "Why do those men only like blood and fire? Sid Halle promised me that he would come back in a month. What happened? Hmph, even Pharaoh is like this!"

But Nefert obviously came here with the wind. Akenami saw that the high priest of Luxor, Nifanara, came in with her. Something important must have happened. will leave Thebes.

Nifanara looked at Akenna lovingly and said, "Congratulations, Your Royal Highness."

Akenami was very happy to see her coming, but also very suspicious: "Hi, high priest, you are the first person who can bless the fetus, but I don't think you knew it before you left." She looked A little nervous: "Why are you here?"

"It's a very serious situation, Your Royal Highness." Nifanara said seriously: "Since the Pharaoh left Egypt, the supply of spices in Upper and Lower Egypt was cut off two months ago, and those ships that came from the Red Sea in the past have never been seen again. Now All the temples and doctors consume stock, once the stock is exhausted, they will definitely blame the pharaoh, if they can’t even guarantee the spices for the gods, the pharaoh won the war, but he will lose the hearts of the people.”
