To Four Thousand Years Later

Strange to say.

Obviously the messenger had been released, but no one came to report until the third day after Solomon left the city.

But Hada thought about it again, this is not a strange thing. After all, there were only three of Solomon's party, so it would not be uncommon for them to take a detour. Maybe even faster.

— but that doesn't matter.

Solomon always ended up going to Tyre. No matter which way he goes, if the final destination remains the same, there is always a way to intercept it.

Therefore, Hada was also patient and continued to wait for the information that Solomon appeared somewhere.

But in the end... the news he was waiting for shocked him

"What? The king of Tire found us?"

Hada was startled, and sat up abruptly from his seat: "This is impossible... Has someone been arrested? How many troops did the King of Tire come to?"

"At least six thousand..."

The scout, who was out of breath, coughed and said, "They use a kind of low-slung chariot... three or four people can be carried on the chariot, and they can turn around! They are very fast, and they are heading towards this from the direction—they'll be there by noon at the latest!"

"...that's the delivery cart invented by Solomon!"

Hada clenched his teeth, full of disbelief: "How could the king of Tire have that thing?"

Isn't Solomon stupid? !

How can a chariot that can carry three or four people stably and turn around corners be sold to other countries...or neighboring countries that are closely connected with it?

Although you are using it to transport goods, but how powerful this thing can be on the battlefield... Don't you have any points in your heart?

Even if there are not many people in Tire, there are not many horses... But if their archers ride around in this kind of chariot and harass them, even Israel will definitely not be able to bear it.

Hada couldn't understand Solomon's thoughts at all.

All he knew was that Solomon's messy behavior made him feel so embarrassed now...

"Let's go, Hada!"

Renebo got on his horse and yelled at Hada: "You idiot, the plan still failed!"

"not yet!"

Hada clenched his teeth: "You 40,000 people, can't beat these 6,000 people?"

"Of course we could have played, but it didn't make sense."

Renebo sneered: "We are here to kill Solomon, the Israelites—not the Tyrians. What's more, the terrain here is too narrow, and our cavalry can't disperse at all...We don't have much advantage It can be said."

"To kill Solomon! Now to kill Solomon—"

Hada yelled loudly, stopped in front of Renebo, and raised his head to look at him without fear: "Are you going to run away now, Renebo? I will report the truth to Pharaoh."

As soon as he finished speaking, Renebo lifted him up by the collar of his clothes.

The brown-skinned, tattooed Pharaoh's guard put his forehead against Hada's and warned in a low voice, "If you die by accident...I won't be very happy."

"Your threats are useless to me, Renebo."

Hada looked at him indifferently, his eyes did not waver at all: "Guess, how many people are my people in your team? Ten people? Twenty people? Fifty people? I have money... I have a lot of money. Money You can buy people's hearts, and you can also buy peace. If you kill me, who do you think will report you to Pharaoh?"

Renebo stared at Hada fiercely, but Hada was unmoved.

He stared at him for a long time, then yelled angrily, slammed his head against Hada's forehead forcefully, spat **** Hada's face, and threw him to the ground.

Renebo walked up and down the ground irritably, cursing in a low voice, and it took him a long time to finally make up his mind.

When he passed by Hada, he kicked Hada's calf severely. The pain made Hada sweat profusely, curled up and hugged his calf.

But Renebo still waved his fists and announced loudly: "All the soldiers of the Pharaoh, rise up—ready to meet!"

He punched or kicked every house as he walked by, shouting loudly: "In the name of Amon, throw the group of Tire's salted fish into the sea!"

"By the glory of Pharaoh—"

The Egyptian guards who came out of the houses of the Tyreans heard the words and responded with one voice: "I swear by the glory of the Pharaoh!"

The original owners of those houses were scattered and left in the open space outside the town. What used to be a place for threshing wheat is now full of corpses that have begun to stink and attract flies.

It was something they worked all afternoon to finish. The purpose, of course, is to prevent the cavalry from tripping over corpses as they leave - so keeping the ground level is a must.

The horses are kept in a group in the forest outside the town - this is to prevent people from seeing the horses.

After all, cramming 30,000 people into a town is already very difficult. Fortunately, it is not very cold in summer, and it is still possible to sleep more than a dozen people on the floor and bed in each room.

As for the blood stains mixed with black and red that remained on the ground, there was no treatment. Scattered smears are scattered on the roads of the whole village, including the gates and houses of residents.

It was three hours later when the soldiers in Tire discovered the tragedy.

Coming from Wangcheng, the regular soldiers who originally planned to go to the four outer cities to rescue them were stopped by the middle before they even rushed to those cities.

Facing them in front of the town were 8,000 Egyptian cavalry.

Yes, Egyptian cavalry

Even though they did not wear identity-marking clothes or special accessories, the man with tattoos on his face at the front surprised the soldiers of Tire.

"It's the Egyptians! It's the Egyptian horsemen!"

The pupils of the person in front shrank, and shouted loudly: "Scatter! Spread!"

At a distance of three or four hundred meters, it is impossible for a bow and arrow to hit. However, the priests of Tire hadn't arrived yet. If they were charged head-on by the Egyptian cavalry, they might only be able to shoot one or two rounds of arrows, and they would fall into a very passive situation.

"Leave!"

Renebo rode a horse and shouted loudly to the Tyrians at the front: "We are here to kill Solomon, not to fight Tyre!"

"If you want to provoke Pharaoh, just go ahead!"

So the chariots of the Tyrians also stopped in a relatively safe position. The two sides faced each other silently across a wasteland.

But the town has no walls. When the chariots slowly dispersed and some people saw the tall corpses piled up in the threshing ground outside the town, their eyes immediately turned red.

Even in proportion, many of them were born in this small town. When he saw the familiar or unfamiliar corpse lying there without a sound, a low and crazy breath gradually began to flow in the Tire army.

According to this inference—the town closer to the interior has become like this.

What about...the ones outside?

As soon as they thought of this hypothesis, killing intent suddenly arose in their hearts.

"This is what you said, 'Didn't you come to fight Tire'?!"

Someone shouted angrily.

Renebo was speechless, and looked fiercely at Hada who was hiding behind.

But at this glance, his pupils constricted instantly!

"There are enemies behind! Watch out—"

As soon as Renebo shouted, the sound of a rain of arrows was already heard.

Because the terrain of this town is narrow and remote, the outer area is densely forested, and you can only walk from the inside to the outside, and there will be no Tyrian merchants in the interior for a few months, and the dense forest is extremely obstructive and easy to hide, so they hide in In this town.

Even if Solomon had scouts to scout for him, he would never be able to spot them from the outside. And Tire would never explore a remote town in a corner of himself for no reason at all.

But on the other hand... it also makes it difficult for them to see other people in it. It is also difficult for their horses to get in and out at full speed.

This time against the 6,000-strong army of the Tyrians, Renebo dispatched 12,000 men. The 8,000 horsemen plus the 4,000 infantry hiding on both sides are more than enough to persuade them to retreat or counterattack.

—The rest of the horses, of course, were still tied in the dense forest; the rest of the people stood in the village with swords in hand and looked out, putting pressure on the Tyrians with their numbers.

It would be best if they could be persuaded to retreat without fighting.

But when Renebo saw a strange cavalry rushing out of the dense forest and raining arrows on the soldiers in the city, Renebo realized that something was wrong.

— This is probably a trap!

The lethality of this wave of arrow rain is second. There were less than 600 cavalry rushing out of the dense forest, and he had reminded earlier that a single shield would not kill a few people. At most, a few people will be injured...

But the problem is that this wave of people came out from behind at this time, what a coincidence!

How likely was it that the Israelites would spot the Tyrean army just as they were arriving?

Renebo didn't believe in luck. Thinking about it now, I'm afraid the spies sent by the idiot Hada have been exposed long ago! That's right, the kings of Tyre and Solomon knew they were hiding here - now is the time to encircle them!

The dense forest terrain that is extremely convenient for hiding, on the other hand, is not conducive to charging. They were besieged here by two groups of people, and their advantage in numbers could not be brought into play at all. I'm afraid I'll die without water or food

You must kill it before closing the siege!

Renebo immediately made up his mind.

"Go find the horses! Let's go!"

Without hesitation, he shouted loudly: "We'll hold on here, you go find your horses! Take your swords! You can't go through the dense forest... Let's take a detour from the direction of Tire!"

"Renebo! You are dishonest!"

Hada scolded sharply: "There are not many people here!"

"Your brain has been filled with pig manure!"

Renebo stared at Hada with killing intent, regretting why he didn't run away just now: "It's not how many people they have now, but that they can't run away as long as they reinforce us! If you want to bet, I won't bet with you! "

"Stay here by yourself—quick! Get the horse, let's go!"

He shouted loudly, and the Egyptian soldiers pushed and shouted towards a certain dense forest outside.

However, the guerrilla Israeli cavalry only launched a round of attacks before disappearing into the woods.

——Until the Egyptian soldiers who took the horses entered the woods, the knights rushed out again.

This time, they held several torches or small portable oil drums, and they threw them while running, or dropped one torch at a distance.

In less than five minutes, the outskirts of the woods were set on fire
