Yang Rui didn't care too much about the change in the way Cleopatra addressed him, but as a man, Yang Rui felt an inexplicable sense of loss. He could only smile bitterly.
Yang Rui didn't know why he felt this way when facing Cleopatra again. At least he had convinced himself at that moment. Yang Rui told himself that Cleopatra was just a pile of data in the game.
"Let's discuss how to deal with Ptolemy XIII."
Without giving Cleopatra a chance to speak, Yang Rui quickly changed the topic. Facing Cleopatra's beautiful smiling eyes, Yang Rui felt a little guilty.
"The closest cities to the Syrisan Highlands are Medu City, Manfis City, and Cairo City. In the middle are Sayis City and Alexandria City, while to the south are Assan City, Amalna City, and several other cities.
Ever since Cleopatra gave us the detailed map, Feng Xiao and I had discussed and discussed several strategies to deal with the enemy. Considering that Ptolemy XIII had the advantage in terms of military strength, the two of us thought that it would be best to confuse the enemy.
At first, we should use the strategy of harassing the enemy in the cities further away from Alexandria. First, we should effectively disperse the forces of the Ptolemies in Alexandria. Then, with the excellent concealment and mobility of Sky City, we can attack Alexandria and defeat Ptolemy XIII in one fell swoop.
Finally, we can use this momentum to defeat or gather the remaining forces of Ptolemy XIII one by one. What do you think, Sir and Her Majesty? "
Xu You was the first to speak. The content of his words could also be seen. Before this, he and Guo Jia had discussed the countermeasures in detail.
As for the thoughts of the two. In fact, Yang Rui had already understood before, and it was indeed a safer strategy.
What made Yang Rui concerned was the subtle change in Xu You's attitude. Under Guo Jia's constant respect and modesty, Xu You's attitude had changed a lot. This was what Yang Rui liked to see.
After hearing Xu You's words, Cleopatra's eyes also lit up. Obviously, she also approved of Xu You's strategy to deal with the enemy.
Perhaps it was because Cleopatra didn't know much about Xu You and Guo Jiazhi before, but now Xu You explained the general strategy. This also attracted Cleopatra's scrutinizing gaze.
Several people present agreed with the general strategy proposed by Xu You, and the next step was to discuss the specific details.
Because of the importance, Cleopatra also put most of her attention on the strategy. With her understanding of the overall Egyptian civilization and the details of each city, Cleopatra also put forward some insightful opinions from time to time, which played a big role in perfecting the strategy of Xu You and Guo Jia.
However, Cleopatra would occasionally cast her gaze in the direction of Yang Rui, and the smile on her face was somewhat thought-provoking.
One day later, outside of the east gate of Cairo, which was under the control of Ptolemy XIII, Yang Rui's 40 cannons fired at the same time. The cannons were all aimed at the east gate and the dome of Cairo. This caused chaos in the city.
At first, the defenders in the city didn't know what was going on, so they just closed the gate. They defended the city with all their might in order to prevent any possible sieges. However, all they got was the roar of the cannons and the "cannonballs" that kept raining down. There was no sign of any sieges, including the other gates.
After the initial stage where they didn't know what was going on, when the defenders in Cairo found that there weren't too many soldiers near the cannons, they finally couldn't help but go out from the other gates. However, they found that the cannons that were still roaring just now had already slipped away like rabbits.
These things slipped away so fast that even the soldiers who went out of the city and the defenders in the city didn't know how they escaped!
Although the defenders in the city didn't want to give up, it was still a good thing that the cannons left. Then, after the defenders of Cairo checked the surroundings, they didn't find any traces of the siege weapons, so they cleaned up the city and strengthened their defenses. They didn't think too much of it.
However, half a day later, the cannons that made the loud roars appeared at the south gate of Cairo again. Cannons fell again, and the south gate was soon damaged.
This time, the city defender in Cairo was furious. He directly sent soldiers out from the south gate. At the same time, considering the enemy's speed of escape, he also sent out a large number of soldiers from the east and west gates in an attempt to outflank the cannons outside the city.
In total, more than 10,000 soldiers were sent out from the three gates, and they were all sent out as soon as possible. In the eyes of the city defender, even if they couldn't catch the ones causing trouble outside the city this time, they could at least find some clues and figure out the enemy's background.
However, what happened next was beyond the expectations of the city guard. First of all, the first batch of soldiers that rushed out of the south gate were directly swallowed by a group of soldiers that appeared nearby when they were about to approach the siege weapons outside the city!
It wasn't accurate to say that they were "swallowed" because the number of soldiers on the other side was almost the same as the number of soldiers that came out from the south gate. However, the city defender saw it clearly from the dome of Cairo that when the two groups of about the same number collided, the ones who fell were all the defenders of Cairo, while the other side didn't seem to be injured at all.
After witnessing this scene, the city defender really wanted to call the other two groups of soldiers back into the city, but it was too late. Judging from the situation just now, the fate of the other two groups of soldiers could be imagined.
At this moment, the city defender made perhaps the worst decision of his life. He led the 20,000 soldiers around him and directly rushed out, intending to save the other two groups of soldiers.
Just now, it was actually Gao Shun and some of the Formation Breaker soldiers that wiped out the south gate of Cairo without any losses. The city defender chose to rush out at this time, but he didn't know the strength of the enemy he was about to face, so it was destined that he wouldn't have a good ending.
In Sky City, Yang Rui was also a little surprised by the city defender's actions. The reason why the large Kingdom Collapse attacked the city gate before was actually not because of this, but now that the other side took the initiative to attack, Yang Rui immediately brought the rest of the Formation Breaker soldiers to Gao Shun's side.
Yang Rui also rushed out of Sky City with his spear, ready to go on a killing spree. At the same time, he also brought Zhang Ning with him.
