(Chapter 46: Three Sui Pings at Halicarnassus - Five Sons Enrolled 1)
Thracybulus saw fireworks in the distance.
It was not fireworks of celebration, but smoke that only Ares, the god of war, could be excited about.
He speculated that the ambitious Athenian hero might have fallen to Caria's desperate defense at this moment.
This made him even more anxious - to be fair, this sudden appearance of the Celestial Army, its combat power is really mysterious and terrifying. If Orontopatis also died at his hands, then its tactical and strategic capabilities would be mediocre. What qualifications does he have to fight against him?
The fear of Thrasibulus began to spread in his heart until it enveloped all his reason.
Fear is a demon that appears in everyone's heart, but the hero will defeat it, and the rest will disappear.
Although Thracybulus barely managed to go down in history, his courage to flee could not save his life at this time.
Of course, it couldn't save Orontobatis's life.
Perhaps he will never know in his life that if he sends troops at this time, although he may not be able to save the Acropolis Salmakis, he may be able to save the life of the hero.
Orontobatis was drunk.
He was so happy tonight.
It seems that the Royal Guards City will share part of his offensive force.
Although many of them were his compatriots, there were also many locals with whom he had good connections. But now that the matter has come to this, who cares about their lives?
However, when the pitiful howls of bulls came loudly, he did not realize who in this deep voice was the poor man who did not care about his fate.
Since the banquet requires a lot of meat, no one cared about the screams of the livestock at first.
But soon, both Greek exiles and locals, who were no strangers to animal husbandry, heard anger and hysteria in the cries.
This is the angry cry of the herd, and they should be launching a crazy charge.
In other words, the most optimistic scenario now is that a group of large livestock is out of control.
In this small acropolis, if a group of livestock runs rampant, it may not be a safe thing for them.
Especially under heavy siege by the enemy, any chaos in the city will provide the enemy with an excellent opportunity to attack the city.
Therefore, anyone with a normal mind would choose to check it out at this time.
Unfortunately, Orontobatis, who has always been wise and wise, is not among these normal people.
He refused the invitations from other fellow villagers to come and check it out, and mocked them as cowards under the influence of alcohol.
Such behavior, at this very passive moment, is obviously stupid. He will lose the support of many peers for this.
To make matters worse, what his companions discovered was far more terrifying than they expected.
This small city of Salmakis was plunged into huge chaos by a group of livestock. However, those livestock were not theirs, but brought by the enemy. This meant that the cunning enemy had penetrated into the city. Their little city, and created enough chaos.
I just didn't expect that the enemy's method of creating chaos was actually related to this group of livestock.
This is a method they have never heard of, and it is also a method they are powerless to stop.
Looking at those guys covered in flames and running around wildly, I am afraid that only gods who can control the beasts can do what they do today.
As a result, more and more people are falling into fear.
In fact, the Greek civilization, which was not advanced, and the even more backward Persian Kingdom, lived under the shroud of myths. The shadows had grown in everyone's heart since childhood, and now, the little seeds at that time finally brewed into terrible things. The torrent swallowed up everyone's sanity.
So they, like those animals that lost control, fell into aimless running and fleeing.
If they still had a shred of sense, they would choose to escape from the city. If they had two senses, they should also remember that there are tens of thousands of enemy troops outside the city, waiting for work.
The only good thing is that Alexander launched a fierce siege early because he was worried about the safety of the surprise attack troops. This makes the surrounding siege seem less airtight.
Therefore, some people with limited intelligence still got the opportunity to escape.
But those smarter people made an even stupider decision. They stayed in the Acropolis, determined to live and die together with the hero from Athens!
But which hero failed them, when a bull rushed into his banquet and knocked down many nobles who were laughing at others like him. Orontobatis finally woke up from his dream.
However, when he hurriedly found the sword, more bulls had already rushed into the banquet.
And the initiator of this chaos slowly emerged in front of everyone. The Song Dynasty army in iron armor almost showed their materialistic and terrifying side. Masks with green faces and fangs were worn on their faces. They should have been red cloaks and The jacket has now been changed into a black military uniform.
At this time, everyone realized that the group of people in front of them had destroyed their banquet and their hope of continuing to hold on.
Several Greek escapees abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Among the local nobles, more people did this.
But there is at least one person who is different.
Orontobatis knew that it was too late to unsheath his sword.
But he didn't forget that the sword was still sharp.
So he howled and rushed down, facing the dense enemy, and was even knocked to the ground by a ferocious bull. He didn't care at all, but he didn't look at it. When he was strong and promoted again, countless The spear had pierced his chest. No matter how his Greek compatriot Ephiates shouted, his life came to an end.
Without the backbone of the defense work, it quickly fell into huge chaos. The unsystematic resistance could not last until dawn. In addition, there were basically no reinforcements coming to rescue, so most people chose to flee.
Alexander once again captured this city that had caused him so much suffering in history at a small cost.
Interestingly, Apelles, who once painted for him, did not want to create another masterpiece for him because he heard about the magic of the Fire Bull Array.
The painting aroused the curiosity of many people, and even the Greek soldiers responsible for the siege of the Royal Acropolis were allowed to come and see it.
Zhang Sui, who felt that there was no hope of attacking the city and was bored, would also see the thrilling scene among this group of soldiers.
He knew that Yang Sui, who came up with this idea, was the silent fool who usually kept silent. If he hadn't been protected by a good boss, he would have died somewhere.
However, his jealousy did not affect his mind.
Amidst the exclamations, he thought of the enemies of Wangjiawei City.
This painting should probably appear elsewhere.
