Kirk smiled slightly and secretly made up his mind. Even if Cleopatra wanted to devote herself to the country, why should she dedicate it to herself? This piece of fragrant and sweet meat must not fall into the hands of old men like Caesar and Antony.
In the hands of perverts!
Because, I have already taken a liking to it!
However, Kirk couldn't help but frown when he thought of Spartacus, who was fighting alone in the desert. Spartacus stated that he needed a lot of military resources now. Although he agreed wholeheartedly, where could he get this wealth?
What? Not to mention that Cleopatra was poor here, but even if she had money, she would still give priority to the battle to liberate Egypt.
Cleopatra saw Kirk's worried face and said with relief: "What's going on? You might as well just tell me."
Kirk briefly talked about his friends in the African province, who needed a lot of military resources to resist the rule of Rome. Cleopatra had long known that Spartacus was Kirk's subordinate, and the victorious spirit
The increasingly powerful force belongs to the man in front of him. He smiled slightly and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? When it comes to money, Egypt is a country full of gold."
Kirk was overjoyed, but seeing that Cleopatra was poor herself, why didn't she use it for herself?
Cleopatra smiled slightly: "You know Egypt has a long history, which can be traced back to 3,000 years ago. There are hundreds of Pharaoh's pyramids on the west bank of the Nile alone!"
Kirk's mouth was wide open: "As the Queen of Egypt, you actually encouraged us to rob tombs! Aren't all the pharaohs your ancestors?"
Cleopatra smiled and said: "To this day, more than 20 dynasties have ruled this land. I am a descendant of the Ptolemaic family. As long as you don't dig the Ptolemaic family's pyramids, that's fine.
.What do the pharaohs of other dynasties have to do with me?"
Kirk suddenly understood. But someone said with a sad face: "Isn't there a curse on the pyramid? We are not trying to touch the gold captain. Will we be cursed to death if we go there?"
Although Cleopatra didn't understand what it meant to touch the golden captain, she did understand the curse. After pondering for a while, she took out a piece of Pharaoh's golden mask from her arms and handed it to Kirk: "This is Toole
The national treasure passed down by the Secret Dynasty for hundreds of years is the Pharaoh's true mask. If you wear this mask and enter the pyramid, you can gain the power of the Pharaoh. You will not be cursed by the Pharaoh. Remember, the Pharaoh's wealth is mainly stored in it.
In the treasury next to the tomb, do not disturb those who are dead but do not lie down."
Kirk was very excited and kissed Cleopatra fiercely on the face. Cleopatra screamed and gave Kirk a fierce look: "This is in a transparent carriage, there is no way to stop it."
Light."
Kirk chuckled. The Pharaoh's pyramid contains the wealth accumulated by ancient Egypt for generations. If it can be stolen, Spartacus's war in North Africa will go more smoothly. The only thing that matters in war is money and logistics.
Cleopatra said: "That golden mask of Ptolemy is a unique treasure of my Ptolemaic family. It was secretly given to me for safekeeping by my father, the previous Pharaoh, before his death. My younger brother, Pharaoh Ptolemy,
No one knows it exists. Only if this thing enters the pyramid can it not be affected by the Pharaoh's curse. You must keep it properly."
The two chatted affectionately for a while. They heard the herald from the front riding back madly to report to Caesar that Pompey's legions were once again arrayed in the valley ahead. Caesar invited Cleopatra and Kirk to come with him.
Go to the big tent to discuss matters.
In the big tent, Kirk met Octavian, who had not seen him for a long time. The young people had not seen each other for a long time, so the meeting was naturally affectionate. After not seeing each other for a long time, Octavian had grown a lot taller, and he could initially tell that he looked like a Roman man.
.
Caesar listened to Antony's report on the preparations for the battle. He suffered two big losses from Pompey in a row. Caesar paid great attention to this enemy and sent many scouts. Pay special attention to the location of the Ptolemaic legion. Pompey was as cunning as a fox.
.Although it is said that the Ptolemaic legions were sent to Thebes in the south to suppress the troops loyal to Cleopatra, who knows whether Pompey will attack east and west, quietly mobilize to Caesar's rear, and launch an attack?
Several people were frowning. But Cleopatra smiled and announced a surprising news. On the banks of the Nile River in Thebes, the legions loyal to her, led by Mosuo, attacked the advancing Toledo.
The secret army beat the opponent to pieces and damaged them.
They suffered heavy losses, and the Ptolemaic army is currently in the process of retreating to Alexandria. Cleopatra's army is moving down the Nile River and has captured another historic city, the old Egyptian capital Memphis, which is about 30 kilometers away from Alexandria.
Asia is not far away.
This news was a real shot in the arm for the less confident Caesar. In this way, he no longer had to worry about Ptolemy's reinforcements, and Pompey in turn had to worry about Cleopatra's army cutting off his return to Alexandria.
retreat. As it comes and goes, the offensive and defensive momentum reverses.
Cleopatra cast a grateful look at Kirk. In the key battle in Thebes, Kirk sent Xiao Pang, Wang Han and Sheva to follow Mosuo to join the battle. Wang Han's battlefield early warning aircraft function was put into full play.
Incisively and vividly, they detected the movements of the Ptolemaic army in advance, allowing Mosuo to seize the opportunity to ambush and give them a fatal blow.
Ever since this noble man came to her, the fate of herself and Egypt has slowly begun to reverse. From the miserable journey to the dawn of dawn, how could this make Cleopatra not overjoyed?
Kirk smiled calmly, hiding his merit and fame.
Caesar immediately began to deploy, ordering Antony to lead the heavy infantry legion, Lepidus to lead the cavalry legion, and Octavian to be responsible for the rear defense. He would sit in command of the center army and must defeat Pompey's army in one fell swoop!
The result was unexpectedly smooth. Due to the instability in the rear, Pompey's army seemed to have no fighting spirit. After a few hasty responses, they began to retreat. Kirk, who was responsible for the soy sauce, did not even take a move, Pompey's army had already
The smoke billows and disappears into the desert.
Caesar's legions continued to advance until they came across the majestic walls and magnificent lighthouse of Alexandria.
"This is Pompeii's desperate place!" Caesar declared with confidence. Winter is coming soon. The famine in Rome has become very serious. Even some noble families have begun to live frugally. People die of cold and starvation every day.
They were pulled out of the city and burned to prevent the plague.
Kirk is also very satisfied. Although he has been unable to provide Spartacus with a lot of military supplies recently, the civil war and the severe famine in Rome have allowed Spartacus to move freely throughout the winter without worrying about the conquest of the Roman army. Here
The more intense the war, the more serious the internal strife in Rome, the worse the famine situation, the longer it takes for Rome to send troops to suppress the Carthage rebellion, which is very beneficial for Spartacus to gain a foothold.
However, although the overall situation of the war was favorable to Caesar, the right time, place and people for the defense were all on Pompey's side.
As the end of Pompey was approaching, this guy concentrated all the military power of himself and Ptolemaic Pharaoh, huddled in the fortified city of Alexandria, and could not hold out. The two worked together, and together they had more than 100,000 people, which was sufficient strength.
In terms of logistics, Egypt is already rich in food. Alexandria is the main transportation thoroughfare between the north and the south. All the food and grass are stored here, and then shipped to Rome in ships. It is said that the defenders will not be able to finish the stored food for decades.
.
On the city wall, Alexandria was the capital of Alexander the Great after he conquered Europe, Asia and Africa and established the world's great empire. Coupled with hundreds of years of management by the Ptolemaic family, the Egyptians were able to build the pyramids and keep them standing for thousands of years.
How strong is the city wall?
Looking from the top of the mountain where Caesar is located, thousands of kilometers of the Nile River stretches across the sky and the earth, spreading out endlessly. It divides into two bifurcations of tens of kilometers at the entrance to the sea, forming a fertile estuary delta. In the delta
superior,
A majestic city rises from the ground. The city wall is more than 30 meters high, five meters wide, and dozens of kilometers long. It can be called an epic city. On the island 10,000 meters out of the sea, stands a 120-meter-high
The majestic world wonder of the Great Lighthouse.
In other words, Alexandria, which Caesar is about to besiege, is a huge city surrounded by the Nile River on three sides, east and west, and facing the sea in the north. It uses the world's longest river as its pool, the Mediterranean Sea as its basin, and its epic walls as its defenses.
The lighthouse serves as a lamp, and is guarded by hundreds of thousands of troops from Pompey and Ptolemy. It can be called a golden city, indestructible!
What is even more frightening is that sea traffic is firmly controlled by the combined fleets of Pompey and Ptolemy. Fleets traveling from areas beyond the control of Rome such as Syria, Parthia, Seleucid, and the Black Sea coast, even in the fiercest battles
moment, you can still feel free to
The ground flowed continuously in Alexandria, bringing sufficient supplies and military supplies. The method usually adopted by the Roman legions to besiege and trap the enemy was not feasible at all. This kind of siege battle that could not cut off the enemy's supplies completely relied on the lives of the siege party.
heap!
Caesar's face was as gloomy as the clouds before a rainstorm. Pompey's soldiers were densely coming and going on the city wall, and Ptolemy's slaves carried the huge rocks up like ants, including trebuchets, crossbows, arrow towers, archers, and all the defensive equipment.
The guard strength was so strong that Caesar had never seen it before in all his years of fighting.
"Pompeo is really planning to fight to the death." Cleopatra said sadly: "My Egyptian people are going to groan in the flames of war again. Alexandria, an ancient city with a history of hundreds of years, will be attacked by these two heroes.
With the disaster of war, I am afraid that it will turn into ruins and never regain its current prosperity."
Kirk's face was calm and he pondered for a while: "If we succeed in assassinating Pompeo at this time, will the Egyptian people not have to suffer this?"
Cleopatra opened her beautiful eyes in disbelief, and suddenly rushed up and hugged Kirk: "No! I can't let you die! Pompey's side is extremely well-defended, how can you assassinate him?
