He came, the great king of Egypt, Ramses, standing here why, why, he came here to Cush, or Nubia, is the name of the area between Aswan, the first waterfall of the Nile in Egypt, and Qulaymai, the fourth waterfall of Sudan.Nubia is the land bordering Egypt with the black African continent.Hundreds of years before Ramses II, the pharaohs of Egypt repeatedly attacked and assimilated into this land, which had a large number of prime labor and wealth.Thutmose III of the 18th Dynasty once carried out a subversive conquest of Nubia, and at one time incorporated its entire territory into the territory of Egypt.Some Nubians began to rely on the power of the pharaoh and served in the pharaoh's army and political system.Even in the surviving records, Nubian soldiers armed with bows and arrows were an important part of the pharaoh's mercenaries.Cultural assimilation led to Nubia's gradual transformation into part of Egypt.In the days of Egypt's hegemony, the Nubians were nothing more than a "hyogo" or "gold storehouse".But when Egypt fell, the Nubians rose.Ramses would not allow such a thing to happen.Nubia itself contains a gift of wealth.Nubia, the word comes from the Egyptian word for "gold", which is derived from the inexhaustible abundance of gold in its land.To obtain Nubia is to obtain the fullness of the treasury.Taking a step back, Nubia borders Egypt to the south, not far from Thebes, and is also of great military significance, with the Hittites to the north, Assyria to the east, and Libya to the west.However, with conquest comes revolt.Nubia is made up of multiple black tribes and is not a single ethnic group.After being assimilated by Egypt, some people submitted to the culture and rule of Egypt, and willingly existed as a puppet state.Others, on the other hand, will raise the banner of rebellion and bravely challenge the land of the sun again and again, even if such an act is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.Rama was one of the many rebels in the past.Unlike his colleagues, Rama was unusually clear that piecemeal attacks were almost futile.Over the past few years, he has carefully planned and accumulated strength, and little by little he has eaten away at Egypt's power on the Kusit border in a guerrilla way.Brave soldiers who are well trained, war materials that they have worked hard to hoard.Rama's purpose was not just to take revenge on a few Egyptian soldiers.Now, his chance had come, and Ivy felt her chest pound uncontrollably, as if a huge stone was pressing heavily on it.It's hot around, and the body is covered with a fine layer of sweat, which makes people feel upset.Ivy rolled over and muttered indistinctly: "What's the matter with the air conditioner" In a trance, she only felt that she was lying on the comfortable bed at home in London, with white sheets and a soft quilt as if a thousand feathers were wrapped around her.I could hear the long-lost second hand of a clock, or the sound of a drip falling into a slender tube, or the footsteps of a servant trying to walk as carefully as possible.Her eyes were so heavy that she couldn't open them anyway, and she only felt the sunlight shining into the room through the Victorian curtains, and the heat fell on her body, as if she was about to burn up.Instinctively, she shrunk back, trying to dodge the heat coming in from the window.The head tilted, but it was blocked by someone's hand.A familiar voice invaded her mind as if it were coming from a stranger, "Be careful. ”She couldn't help but be stunned, and then opened her eyes hard, and there was a hard rock wall not more than a fraction of a distance from her head.She couldn't react a little, and raised her head, and she was greeted by Dong's handsome face.He was half-kneeling beside him, one hand holding her hand tightly, while the other hand rested gently on the side of her head, preventing her from hitting her headfirst against the rock wall.Ivy suddenly became a little embarrassed.She slowly propped herself up and gave Dong a gentle nudge with her hand, motioning for him to step away slightly.The boy didn't back down, and his face was full of lingering worry."
Ivy, are you okay" Ivy glanced at Winter inexplicably, and didn't answer for the time being, it was obviously early morning, but there was an uncomfortable dullness all around.She slowly got up, straightened her back, and looked at the blue sky through the corners.The sun slowly rose above the horizon, and the golden rays of the morning gradually lifted the gray and blue curtains on the horizon, and the heat fell on her body over the rocks.The line of sight extended, and the neat white team outside the corner was lined up in several phalanxes, and the white flags fluttered gently in the wind, shaking so that people couldn't open their eyes.The Nubian's dark face was a little sweaty, his dark brown eyes were sharp with a murderous look, and the bow behind his back was at the same angle as the arrow, simple and neat.They should all be ready, Ivy thought.The fighting force of several thousand men was quite large in this era, but after all, it was necessary to fight one of the four great legions of the pharaohs, and it was still a bit of an egg to attack the past in the open during the day, not under the cover of night.If it were Ivy, she would choose to set off late at night, thus attacking at dawn when the opponent was at his most relaxed.She felt sorry for Rama's mistake in her heart, but when she thought about it, Rama was a hostile force after all, and choosing the wrong way to attack was actually in a great favor for Pharaoh, and she should probably breathe a sigh of relief."
Nefertari."
A light, energetic voice rushed into her ears, and Ivy froze for a full three seconds before she realized it was calling her.It's been a long time since no one called her that.She turned her head away, her gray eyes blinking.Rama came over.He was dressed in a short white robe, with a pair of dark leather bracers around his arms, and a blood-red headband tied around his forehead, in which the gold faintly painted the totem of a vigorous eagle.As if he had forgotten his suspicions, his smile was as simple and direct as he had been at the beginning, "We can go." ”Ivy was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask Rama: "That, it's already dawn, will there be some problems with setting off now?"
Rama didn't answer her immediately, just walked up to her, cut the rope on her foot with his own hands, stretched out his hand and pulled it, let her stand up, and then helped her to walk out.Ivy thought that Rama didn't understand her question, so she spoke again, wanting to explain her concerns a little more deeply, "Rama, I mean, the Egyptian army is still very strong after all, if you attack rashly during the day, it will actually increase your casualties" Rama glanced back at Ivy, and then raised the corners of her mouth narrowly, "Miss Nefertari, if it's night, who can see you, you pretend to be a princess, you can be a hundred enemies."
Moreover, Abu Simbel was usually only guarded by a hundred soldiers. ”He half-helped and half-pulled Ivy out, stepping out of the shadows in the corner, the rising sun mixed with dry heat.She suddenly felt dizzy in front of her eyes, a little cold sweat oozed from her palms, and a dull feeling in her chest once again surrounded her.It was still early in the morning, and it was relatively dry in Egypt, why was there always an indescribable heat around her, as if Ivy's body was not completely under her control, and every step of progress did not seem to come from her consciousness.Her steps slowed down, and Rama lowered her head to look at her, "What's wrong with you, you're nervous?"
"Ernafel Tali, she's been weak," Dong spoke slowly behind the two, his usual steady tone mixed with a bit of lingering worry, "Please try to make her do less strenuous and exciting things, otherwise her heart will not be able to stand it." ”Rama was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ivy again, "Is it true" Ivy looked up and didn't speak immediately.This strange feeling is not exactly the same as what she looks like when she has a daily illness.The body is like uncontrollable, and the soul cannot control its own body in harmony.This irritability, this feeling that her body doesn't belong to her, can't help but make her afraid.Her gray eyes twitched slightly, and she couldn't concentrate on one point."
Hey, are you okay" Seeing Ivy's strange appearance, Rama couldn't help but get a little nervous, he took Ivy's hand, only to feel that her palms were slightly drenched in cold sweat, but they were unusually cold, "It's nerve-wracking, how can this be" Rama couldn't help but sigh slightly, his words contained a little complaint, and the worry that was hidden in the depths and was not easy to find.The silver-haired girl named Nefertari in front of her was very smart, and although she was the same age as Lian, she was much more mature and sophisticated, and she had always been more in line with her plans.In the past few days of getting along, Rama couldn't help but have a good impression of her in his heart that went beyond the prisoners, and naturally treated her more favorably in action.But the eagle fall incident he encountered in the desert a few days ago made him a little suspicious of her and Dong's existence.The intention was to attack Abu Simbel overnight last night, take advantage of the darkness to capture the pillbox in one fell swoop, and use Neferthali as a hostage at the necessary moment to weaken the resistance of the Egyptian army.However, fearing the leakage of information and the possible ambush of the Egyptian army, he ordered the whole army to temporarily camp at a base half a day's distance from Abu Simbel last night, and sent two teams of scouts to conduct a detailed investigation of the surroundings of Abu Simbel.At dawn, he was relieved to learn that the guards at the fort had not increased, and that there were no other Egyptian troops in the vicinity.It seems to have misunderstood Nefertari and Winter.He couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but then he thought that Abu Simbel was at his fingertips, and a little uncontrollable excitement covered up the guilt that crossed his heart like a tidal wave.With only a hundred soldiers on a daily basis, plus Nefertari pretending to be a princess, he could easily take the bunker.Here's what he told Ivy.However, his true purpose was not all, and he would mobilize his sergeants as quickly as possible to capture the Alai Fangting in one fell swoop, which was more than a day away from Abu Simbel's rapid march.Alai Fangting Note: Aswan, now known as Aswan, is located in the south of Egypt, which is an important trading town of Egypt to the southern countries, and is also a hoarding place for grain and grass.The reason why he poured all his troops out this time was not only to collect enough food and grass in the Alai Fang Court, but also to let the pharaoh of Egypt taste the bitterness fiercely.The area south of Ale's court, including Abu Simbel, was originally part of the territory of Cush.In the past few years, the vast majority of Cush's rebellion against Egypt has been fought here, but no matter how much the war is won or lost in this land, it will be this rich land that belongs to Cush that will be bruised and bruised.He could only seem to feel Ramses frustratedly as he narrowed his faint amber eyes, with a victor's smile on his lips, watching them from afar in the cage he had demarcated, resisting, struggling, and finally giving in.Rama held Ivy's hand with a slight force, Nefertari's appearance was a perfect opportunity, with the help of this fake princess, he could take the fortress without losing a single soldier, and even attack the court of Alai Fang more easily.The pity for Ivy faded in Rama's eyes, and the dream that had been haunting him for years gripped him tightly.He remembered the full, bright, proud feathers hanging from the wooden door of his base camp.He can't forget his glory, even if he betrays his own blood and his fate, he must move forward bravely for that dream.He must not make any mistakes at this time, for anyone, for anything, even for his own compassion.Thinking of this, he pulled Ivy up and said with a little coldness, "I'm sorry, Nefertari, if you endure for a few more days, I will set you and your brother free."
When the time comes, I will also give you a sum of money, and then you can slowly recuperate. ”Despite Ivy's weakness that she was almost fainting, he half-forcedly pulled Ivy to follow him out, and just after a few steps, he felt someone grab his arm from the side.He turned his head slightly, and what he saw was Dong's handsome face.Winter's face was still humble and reserved, but from the dark walnut eyes, it was impossible to read half of his thoughts, and his long, white fingers rested on Rama's bracers, and he said slowly, "Please allow me to take care of Nefertari." ”"Presumptuous."
Rama said coldly, "Let go of your hand." ”However, Winter did not move, and repeated again without changing his face: "Please let me take care of her." ”Rama was just irritable in his heart, instinctively wanting to shake off Dong's hand.However, he suddenly realized that his hand could not move.He glanced at Dong, and no matter how he looked at it, the boy's hand was just casually placed on his arm, but no matter how hard he tried to break away, he didn't react.He once again looked at the young man's face, it was obviously summer, why could he feel a little cold like ice covering him, "Nefertari's illness, if it is not for my care, there is a danger of death at any time.If that's the case, how else do you want to accomplish your plan?"
is not wrong in what Dong said, and it seems that from Rama's point of view, there is nothing wrong in any way.But the message revealed by his whole body seemed to say "If you don't let go of her, I'll kill you".The cowardly and timid boy in front of him, who made Rama almost forget that he existed, did he want to threaten Rama Rama couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, and wanted to push him away fiercely, but his arm still couldn't move half a minute.In desperation, Rama only felt that the sun was shining on him from behind, as if it was about to burn, and time seemed to flow away faster than usual.If the situation continues like this, it is not an option, although Abu Simbel is not half an ambush now, but if it drags on until the evening, the situation will be another matter.What's more, taking 10,000 steps back, he still needs to use the silver-haired girl in his hand, there is nothing wrong with her, and he doesn't want her to die like this.Maybe he shouldn't have wasted too much time on these trivial things.Thinking of this, Rama couldn't help but turn her wrist and push Ivy in the direction of Winter.At the same time, he only felt that his arm was loosened, and the boy let go of him, and held Ivy in his arms tightly with his free hands, and looked at Rama quietly but firmly with dark walnut eyes, "Please let me take her and go with you." ”Although it was a tone of please, it always felt like he was commanding.Rama's anger in his heart couldn't help but increase a little, and he didn't answer the young man's words, but only gestured to the four soldiers standing on the side.The four of them immediately stepped forward, loosened the rope on Winter's feet slightly, and then two on each side, guarding Winter, who was holding the weak girl in his arms."
Take them and follow me closely."
Rama shook off such an order, and his eyes swept sharply over the winter on the side again.No matter how you look at it, winter is a bit weird.But at this critical moment, he had to seize the moment, and the rest of the inconsequential suspicions could be considered after the attack on the Alai Fang Court.Thinking of this, he strode towards the white army not far away."
Rama" had just taken a few steps when he saw Lian running towards Rama quickly.The slightly immature face was flushed with a little blush from running, and a layer of fine beads of sweat was slightly on the side of her face, she quickly came to Rama's side, grabbed Rama's shirt hard, and said a little breathlessly: "Rama, Lian go together." ”"Nope."
Rama simply rejected her and did not stop walking towards the army."
Rama, I promise to be obedient, I will stay by your side, just like Princess Ivy."
Lian became more and more anxious, struggling to keep up with Rama's steps."
Lian, don't make trouble, the battlefield is very dangerous."
Rama still calmly rejected her request."
Rama" Lian suddenly stopped, and her black and white eyes were full of tears again, "Rama, this is Rama's most important war so far, even if Rama doesn't say it, Lian knows it."
Lian must go with Rama, anyway, if it weren't for Rama, Lianlian would have died a long time ago" At this point, Rama couldn't help but stop.I only felt him sigh deeply, then turned around, reached out and touched Lian's head, and there was a hint of gentleness in his dark brown eyes, "You stay here well, wait for me to come back." ”This couldn't stop Lian's sobbing at all, she actually took a few steps back and stood beside Dong, reaching out to grab the hem of Ivy's skirt, "I can take care of Princess Ivy, I can help Rama make sure that Princess Ivy and her attendants don't run away, I don't want to leave Rama." ”The girl paused, and the hand that grabbed the hem of Ivy's skirt couldn't help but increase its strength, "Anyway, please let me go with me, I won't cause any trouble to Rama." ”At that moment, Rama hesitated.Lian rarely disobeyed him so firmly, but this time she desperately refused to give in, maybe she was really worried about him, maybe she was just coquettish, she really liked to cry, he really didn't want to see her cry.However, this war was really crucial, and besides, the battle of Abu Simbel was only the beginning, so why should he take Lian all the way to the Alai Fang Court at the risk of danger, he didn't want her to suffer like this."
Don't you listen to me," Rama added a stern tone to his tone.Immediately, he instructed the guards beside him.The two guards stayed, bowed, pointed in the other direction with their fingers, and said respectfully to Lian, "Miss Lian, please go this way." ”Lian frowned, not wanting to pay attention to the soldiers beside her.She took a step, trying to run to catch up with Rama.However, the guards picked her up almost semi-forcedly and led her deeper into the camp.Rama's back grew smaller and smaller.Tears kept sliding down Lian's face.Looking at Rama's back, she couldn't help but shout loudly in a choked voice: "Rama, please come back safely." ”Rama's meticulous preparations, Rama's mighty army.Rama attacked with the confidence of victory, so why, she felt as if Rama would never come back Abu Simbel Pass is located in a special area of Kusi.It was originally a fortress pass that belonged to Cush, which was occupied by the Egyptians for several dynasties.The main body of the pass is above a long, narrow passage that approaches the high ground on three sides, and above the high ground is a bunker that is conducive to shooting with bows and arrows.Due to the particularity of the region, it can be said that the use of soldiers here can be said to be one to ten.After passing through this path, you will suddenly open up in front of you, and you will reach the second waterfall of the Nile in half an hour.This is the closest and most direct way from Kusit to Alai Fangting.If you want to bypass Abu Simbel and go to Alai Fang Court through the desert, the relatively long distance, the hot climate on the way, the lack of water on the way, is tantamount to a road of death for a multi-man march, even if you can reach Ale Fangting, the strength of the army will be greatly damaged, and with a little preparation, the Egyptian side can wipe out its entire army.In other words, Abu Simbel was Cush's gateway to Egypt.Unless you lead a small number of elite troops like Rama when she plundered Ivy, you can try to bypass the pass and return to the main camp.By the time Rama and his more than 2,000 heavily armed soldiers arrived at Abu Simbel, the sun had risen in the middle of the sky.The golden sand was burning hot, and I couldn't help but feel anxious.Rama stood in the open space directly in front of the pass, and felt a strange silence all around.There was no sign of any soldiers in the bunker above the pass, and no sign of life was felt around them.He turned around and looked behind him at the young winter who was quietly following him, and the silver-haired girl Nefertari who was holding in his arms.Although it only took half a day to make this journey, it was very physically exhausting because of the heat of the sun.But the boy behind him actually hugged Nefertari and walked down the road without changing his color.Rama's wariness of him increased a little more."
Give her to me.If someone sees you holding her, the plan is over. ”Rama grabbed Ivy's wrist a little roughly, and then threw it down, "When the time comes, you both will have to die." ”Winter was hesitating, but Ivy regained consciousness first.Although her body was still very weak, for some reason, she always felt much more conscious than she had been in the morning.She patted Dong lightly and said weakly, "I'm fine, you can let me down." ”After a pause, the boy lowered his body slightly, and gently and carefully put Ivy down.Before Ivy could stand still, Rama pulled her a little agitatedly and pushed her towards the front of the line."
Anefil Tali," Dong whispered her name behind her, slightly anxious.Ivy smiled back at him, signaling that he didn't have to worry.Then he was pulled by Rama and walked all the way to the center of the empty field.Empty sand, clear sky, Ivy's silver hair swirling like diamonds in the sunlight.The breath of the wind can be faintly heard in the ears, and the sound of the Nile flowing can be faintly heard.The white army had been left behind, and there was only her and Rama holding her firmly in the empty field.However, even standing in such a prominent position, there was still no trace of Egyptian soldiers.Silence, like a shadow, tightly wrapped around everyone present.Every step you take, it's like you can't get to the end.Rama subconsciously pulled out the short knife on the side of her leg, grabbed Ivy's hand and couldn't help but increase the force a little more.Rama and Ivy's footprints left a long line on the golden sand.Slender and intermittent, connecting the white legion with the lone duo in the center of the clearing.Suddenly, a voice sounded in my ears that did not match the laws around me.At first, it was just a small sound, simple, and intermittent.Then, several sounds of the same frequency rang out at once, like waves crashing against a hard rock, or like a strong wind blowing through the dense leaves.Rama looked up with Ivy.As far as the eye can see, over the mountain, near the pass, on the side of the riverbank, and beside the desert, there is an overwhelming golden yellow.The midday sun was so dazzling that it shone directly on the banner of the Amun Legion, which was inlaid with gold leaf, and the wind blew the golden banner with a crackling sound.On the top of the mountain, the golden particles of the desert are swept up by the wind, and the golden scales are faintly reflected on the riverside, and the heaven and earth merge at this moment, and the holy light of the god Amun appears here Abu Simbel.In that light, the young pharaoh was dressed in a golden robe, his bright red cloak fluttering gently in the breeze, his dark brown hair tied back his head, and his slightly drooping strands brushed across his blurred face.He stood quietly on top of the golden chariot, his left hand gently holding the sword engraved on his waist with the royal coat of arms, symbolizing the supreme command of the battlefield.In front of the chariot, a brightly colored brown horse with a feather on its head and a bridle with gold stripes on its body stood steadily, motionless.In addition, the battlefield was silent.Egyptian troops occupy the high ground, and the soldiers stand like statues, looking blankly at the white-clad Nubian rebels in the open space beneath their feet.Waiting for Pharaoh's command, they would not hesitate to descend from above, rush into the white ranks, and tear the Nubians to pieces.At this time, no one moved half a minute, and the stalemate between the two sides maintained a delicate balance.Rama raised his head slightly, looking at the golden chariot on the high ground with some blank eyes.He was stunned for a few seconds, and then realized that he had fallen into the encirclement of the pharaoh.Obviously, I didn't see anything unusual in the investigation the night before, unless I had all the information, how could it be so "timely" at this time.However, there is no clue as to how his decision to march or how the information was transmitted to Ramses.At that time, the people who married Nefertari had obviously been killed by all his men.He watched as their bodies were buried one by one by his subordinates.I'm afraid I don't have a chance to know who leaked the news.The young pharaoh slowly drew the ornate sword at his waist and raised it into the air.Time was slowed down ten,000 times, and the sword drew a sharp arc in the air, reflecting the light that announced the death of all Rama's painstaking efforts.The soldiers of the Amun Legion on all sides rushed down from the high ground like a golden tide, and the trickle converged into a majestic flood that overwhelmingly rushed towards the white team in the middle of the clearing.Gold filled the field of vision, but Rama's mind went blank.The sound of his heartbeat was so clear, and every time he was pounding his chest, just like that, just like this, watching the Egyptian soldier devour the white army he had worked so hard to manage, the dark brown pupils slowly dilated at that moment, but only for a second, it condensed sharply again.Looking up, the golden team swooped down, and the majestic screams were earth-shattering; Turning around, the white team waited silently, and there was no fear or panic on their black faces.In this battle, the winner was not decided.He raised his right hand to the sky, and the next second, he clenched it into a fist.Cush's formation began to change, and the sword-wielding soldiers rushed to the front of the line, ready to fend off the Egyptian army.In the face of the mighty Amun army, the resistance of the Nubian swordsmen was like a thin thread that could easily be torn to pieces.However, at the moment when the two sides met, that thin thread showed amazing resilience.Everyone wielded their swords with all their might, ignoring the fact that their white clothes were stained with black and red blood, and their living flesh was pierced by cold weapons.There were less than 200 people, but the attack of thousands of people was blocked there.The stone of a thousand catties hangs in a line.These two hundred men bought Rama and the rest of the Nubians precious time.Most of the other Nubians, armed with bows and arrows, ran quickly and decisively to the rear.Agile and athletic, they soon ran to a distance of about fifty meters, and stood in a long arc facing the Egyptian soldiers rushing down from three sides.The first column of soldiers held wooden shields and knelt at the front.The second column of soldiers is ready to go.The third column of soldiers lined up with bows in hand, ready to be replenished.Rama pulled Ivy back to the army, and as his team retreated, he quickly stood in the center of the arc of arrows, and he threw Ivy back to the four Praetorian Guards behind him, who pulled Ivy and Winter hard, following Rama at their original orders.At this moment, the golden team finally tore through the white defense, and the great warriors belonging to the Sun Kingdom bravely rushed towards Rama's soldiers.Everyone's footsteps stepped on the yellow sand in the sky, and it seemed that they could faintly feel the cold smile of Ramses standing on the high ground behind him.Ivy frowned, and tears almost welled up in her pale gray eyes.He came, the great king of Egypt, Ramses, standing here why, why, he was coming here She hung her head deeply and whispered in the slightest voice, only Winter heard her whispered prayer "Please live." ”Rama took his bow from behind him.The dark brown bow is graceful and powerful, and the tail is made of gold on both sides and set with a sapphire as deep as the sea.He drew an arrow from the side of his leg, expertly placed it on the bow, and raised it steadily, pulling it to fullness.The Nubians behind him drew their bows and raised them high as if they were about to shoot down the sun in the sky."
If you can shoot down the sun, then you can see the world clearly."
Rama said softly, then let go of her fingers.At that moment, more than a thousand sharp arrows flew into the air together, tearing through the scorching air, drawing a deep black and sharp arc in the blue sky, and flying straight towards the rushing Egyptian soldiers.Ivy closed her eyes tightly, unwilling to look at what was about to happen.To this day, such clay sculptures can still be seen in museums in Cairo.Pharaoh's army consisted of the lighter-skinned Egyptians, as well as the darker-skinned Nubians.The Egyptians were armed with short swords, strong and mighty; Nubians carry bows and arrows, and are capable and agile.The Nubians' powerful archery skills led many generations of pharaohs to incorporate them into their armies as mercenaries, helping Egypt gain an advantageous position on the battlefield.So, what kind of scene will appear when the Nubians, who are skilled in archery, have mastered the complex and advanced formation changes and are hostile to Egypt?
A rain of arrows roared from the sky, shooting coldly into the bodies of the Egyptian soldiers holding short swords, the flow of blood was stopped by the intrusive hard object, and then a bright red liquid gushed out.One after another, the golden ranks fell to the ground, but without the Pharaoh's orders, the soldiers ignored the death of their comrades and rushed forward with all their might.The first rain of arrows stopped, but before the Egyptians could breathe a sigh of relief, the archers standing in the front row retreated to the second row, and the soldiers in the other row stood in front.Another full bow, a rain of black arrows like an aria of death.However, the pace of the Egyptian soldiers did not stop.Just like the strife on the border between Egypt and Nubia, it never stops.During the reign of Ramses II, Egypt sent troops to Nubia on several occasions.The young pharaoh, who had accompanied his father on the march to Nubia before he was ten years old, was familiar with his way of fighting.Wars in the era of cold weapons were mostly based on cruel sacrifices.Small sacrifices can be exchanged for greater victories.Ramses knew exactly what the only way to win against the Nubians' formidable archers was.However, now it is the Amun Legion, the most important of the four legions, who bravely charge and kill.And behind this golden line of defense, it was him who was standing, and the Egyptian pharaoh Ivy above ten thousand people bent down and pressed her chest tightly in pain.I couldn't help but feel a trace of inexplicable hatred in my heart, why did he come here in person, she was so afraid of a mistake, the kind of despair that made her face the battle of Kadeshi again, which made her whole body freeze.She didn't go through all the hardships to get to where she is today, the golden soldiers fell one after another in the fierce rain of arrows, the hot blood stained the golden battle clothes, and the sound of breathing gradually faded, and disappeared in the footsteps of the Amun army that never stopped.Seeing that the sharp sword of the Egyptian side was about to touch the Nubian archers, who were not good at close combat, Rama suddenly commanded in a loud voice: "Spear" The soldiers crouching in the first row suddenly stretched out several spears from behind the solid wooden shield, like many giant thorns, and sharply stretched forward.The Egyptian soldier who was about to make contact was stabbed by his spear before he could stop.The arrow team behind the shield maintained a fierce attack, preventing the soldiers behind from rushing forward.However, stepping on the corpses of fallen soldiers, more gold still scrambled up.They raised their long swords and slashed their spears with all their might, closing in on the Nubians, and at last the solid white barrier was washed out by the golden tide with a small crack, and then the crack widened, and the Nubian army was cut in half.Rama stood behind, watching it all with a blank face.Finally, with a light but decisive wave of his left hand, the Nubian neatly put away his bow and arrows, placed them behind his back, and drew his short knife from the side of his leg.It was the last struggle of the Nubians, and the two sides entered into a hand-to-hand fight in close quarters.Rama's warriors were well trained, and although they were archers, they were also very good at using short swords, and even in front of the mighty armies of Amun, they were able to keep the Egyptian soldiers with long swords in their hands.And at this very moment, a cloud of dust suddenly rose on the high ground behind the Egyptian army.Ivy looked up, her eyes narrowed as the pale golden sunlight pierced her.In the golden sand, several chariots rushed towards the center of the battlefield in a magnificent manner, which was just behind the high ground and was completely unseen.Chariots, which were the way the Egyptians excelled, appeared at the last moment, psychologically tantamount to completely crushing the Nubians.The great pharaoh stood firmly in the center of the golden chariot, his military uniform, and a cold smile faintly appeared on his face as perfect as a relief.It was a prelude to the imminent conquest, seizure and killing of the absolutely strong against the weak.Swinging the sword, in an instant, the eyes were scarlet, leaving a deep black blood mark in the place where it passed."
Nefertari," Rama murmured, running over to take her from the soldiers guarding Ivy and holding her by the arm, "stay by my side, you pretend to be a princess, Ramses must already know."
Even if you are Egyptian, you will be killed with a single sword. ”"Rama" he explained hastily, and Ivy felt a little guilty in her heart.It was obvious that she had deceived him, but he believed it and was still concerned about her safety when he was about to be defeated.He turned out to be a very kind person.Rama hid Ivy behind her and drew her dagger from her waist, ready for hand-to-hand combat."
Rama, run.He will not give up Abu Simbel," said Ivy loudly behind him, "He will not give up Abu Simbel, because this is the choke land of Egypt and Nubia, and if you control it, you control the southern gate of Egypt."
And to destroy you here is also to warn other possible resistance forces in Nubia.Defeat is a foregone conclusion, you'd better get out as soon as possible, it may not be heroic enough to escape from here, but Lian is still waiting for you. ”Lianrama was stunned for a moment, and at that moment, a familiar smiling face flashed in front of her eyes.A faint dimple, black hair behind a cherry red headband.If only she could stop crying.At that moment, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his original murderous aura, "These white brothers are my hands and my feet, if they die, Rama will also die here." ”But what I never understood was that if Egypt got the news that it was going to attack Abu Simbel, any of Pharaoh's legions could easily crush his armed forces, and defeat seemed to be a foregone conclusion.Abu Simbel is nothing more than a border fortress, and the offense and defense here are commonplace.What was it that prompted Pharaoh to personally lead Amun's army to march so quickly, attack so fiercely, and fight so recklessly for the sake of Princess Ivy, if he could have known his plan to use troops, he should have known that the silver-haired girl in his hand was the stand-in he had carefully arranged.Could there be any other clues, he turned sideways slightly, and saw the silver-haired girl behind him.She greeted the sun, and her silver hair poured down like a waterfall, falling on her waist, reflecting the light between heaven and earth showing a faint gold; She bowed slightly, and her silver-gray eyes faintly reflected the color of the sky; Her pale lips opened slightly, and she murmured something; Her back was soft and straight, and her limbs were slender but seemed to have the strength to hold up the heavens and the earth.He remembered that she had run back decisively on the bridge and cut the rope; He remembered that she was not afraid of her own threats, protecting her fellow teenagers between life and death; He remembered what she had said to Lian before she left, and the words were clear, making the situation stakes lightly and clearly.She said that she was the princess's waiter, and she said that she just happened to have the same hair color as the princess, and Rama turned around in exasperation, grabbed Ivy by the hair, and dragged her to herself.Rama's heart was in turmoil, and the feeling of being deceived, blinded, and hurt came to her heart, and in an instant, there were mixed feelings."
You are Princess Ivy" "I" Ivy was stunned, not knowing how to answer.Rama quickly drew the short sword from his waist with his right hand and placed it on Ivy's neck without hesitation.He shouted loudly and desperately again, "You are Princess Ivy," and the Egyptian chariot rushed into the white Nubian army.Rama has been planning and nurturing valiant warriors for years, like broken dolls that have been crushed and crushed by the chariots of Amun's legions.Rama's hands trembled slightly, and the black blade of the sword slightly invaded the white skin, and bright red blood leaked out little by little."
I'm sorry," Ivy said softly."
I don't want your apology," Rama roared.He didn't want her to apologize, his siblings died here, his ambition died here, and his dreams died here.What is the point of his survival, then completely become Shura, he pulled Ivy hard, stood on a relatively noticeable high ground, and pushed her in front of him, so that her petite body was facing the chariot of Amun's legion straight down."
Ramses, if you don't stop, I'll take her life," Rama cried out, and so on.I don't know if it was because his voice was extremely loud, or because he had already set up Ivy to step forward, and Ramses, who was on the other side of the battlefield, miraculously stopped waving the sword in his hand and looked here.Rama's eyes swelled up with bright red blood.He slowly walked down from the high ground, carried Ivy on his back, and thus walked into the battlefield, and the strange actions of the commanders on both sides caused the battlefield to stop hand-to-hand combat in line with the path he had passed.The stillness quickly spread to both sides, and the sound of the fight gradually stopped, leaving only the smell of blood so strong that it hit the nostrils.Because of Ivy, the Egyptian soldiers did not dare to do anything to him, so they had to watch him walk through the chaos of the battlefield to the magnificent chariot of Ramses.The dark sword was buried shallowly into Ivy's delicate neck, and Rama looked up at Ramses, who was out of reach on the chariot.Amber eyes drooped faintly, swept over Ivy without expression, and then stopped on Rama's face, Ramses looked at Rama without saying a word.The two stood still, and time seemed to stand still.After some time, Ramses said lightly: "The king of Cush wanted to give you Princess Ivy. ”When Ivy heard this, her heart was shocked.It turned out that the person behind him was the prince of Cushi, no wonder he said that he betrayed the blood on his body.Raising the banner to resist Egypt is not only facing the powerful Sun Kingdom, but also betraying his father who is subservient to Egypt Ah Rama crossed his eyebrows, but his hands couldn't help but be slightly relieved, "I have no relationship with the royal family of Cush for a long time.I can give you back Princess Ivy.But I want your soldiers to be disarmed, so that I and the rest of my brethren may escape safely."
"It is a great pain for me that the prince of Ethiopia has fallen here. ”Ramses said softly, his almost transparent eyes quickly sweeping over the hideous blood marks on Ivy's neck, his dark pupils tightened, and he closed his eyes.Ramses' heart was filled with a pang of pain.No, he is the king of Egypt, and he can't open his eyes and there will be silence in them."
No one can influence the victory of the Amun Legion."
He paused deliberately not to look at the unconcealed desperation on Ivy's face.Wait a minute, just a moment.He had decided, and from now on, he swore that he would never let her be hurt again."
I thought of another solution."
Ramses watched coldly at the still battle not far away."
What" Rama took a step back alertly.Bowing his head, he said softly, "You swear allegiance to Egypt and return to Egypt with me."
And I spared thy brother from death. ”Rama smiled contemptuously, and was about to retort, but Ramses's next sentence followed unhurriedly, "I'm not negotiating terms with you."
Do you want to see everyone crushed to pieces?"
he said, condescendingly, looking down at Rama who was standing in front of the chariot.He looked at Ivy as if nothing was there, and only looked at Rama faintly, as if he didn't care about his answer."
Now, lay down your sword, kneel before my chariot, and swear allegiance to Egypt at least, and I can promise to preserve the lives of your warriors today."

Ivy felt Rama's body tremble slightly, his sword swaying slightly around her neck, causing her to feel a burning pain.Nothing was sadder than his disdain for her, however.It's better to die like this, it's better to die happily, maybe she can let go.Rama hesitated for a long time, which seemed like a century to Ivy.Then, suddenly, she felt the front of her neck loosen, her back was pushed hard, and she stumbled forward.With a thud behind him, the young Nubian prince knelt on one knee in front of the Egyptian pharaoh's chariot.Rama was silent for a long time, humiliation gathered in his throat, and he could not utter any words.He could feel the gaze of more than a thousand Nubian warriors in white behind him, he was sorry for them, he was sorry for his belief and sorrow washed over his reason, and the path of thinking gradually became blurred.He was speechless for a long time.Unwilling, unwilling to give up all the efforts he had been working on for years like this, he raised his eyes, but his gaze froze.t1706231537:
