"Boom! Boom! Boom! "
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
"Ah!"
"Uwaaa …"
"…"
Ptolemy XIII's reinforcements on the Nile River were in chaos. Hundreds of warships and transport ships were like a swarm of startled wasps, fleeing in all directions.
In terms of speed, whether it was a warship or a warship, it was faster than these small ships, not to mention the Bi 'an that was known for its speed. Therefore, the reinforcements on the water did not have any advantage in terms of speed.
However, Yang Rui only had seven large ships in his hands at the moment. Furthermore, they had not been in the water for long, and the sailors were not very skilled. With so many targets, it was very difficult for him to completely stop Ptolemy XIII's reinforcements on the water.
In the end, the reinforcements were defeated. Yang Rui's troops only managed to eliminate a small portion of the reinforcements. Most of them were caused by the sinking of the enemy's ships. Later on, when the enemy retreated, Yang Rui's troops did not manage to get much out of the chase.
Even so, according to Yang Rui's rough calculations, the battle on the water of the Nile had caused at least twenty to thirty thousand casualties, and this did not include the ships that the enemy had lost.
The most important thing was that the reinforcements had scattered in all directions. Some ships, big and small, fled upstream, while others fled downstream. Many ships even docked at the shore, and the soldiers fled to various places on land.
Under such circumstances, it was very difficult to reorganize the reinforcements in a short period of time, before the reinforcements were reorganized. Ptolemy XIII's reinforcements were basically useless.
Yang Rui, on the other hand, set his sights on the boats that were fleeing downstream and chased after them relentlessly. Continuing to cause casualties was only one of his goals. At the same time, he could completely disperse the reinforcements.
After chasing for half a day, on the surface of the Nile, there were no longer any ships of any size around the seven warships, warships, and Bi 'an. Only then did Yang Rui call back all the ships and give up on the chase.
When Yang Rui turned back and caught up with the reinforcements from the east side of the Nile River heading to Cairo and Jiza City, they had only just arrived at the front line of Saiis! Here, the convenience of the river transportation in the Egyptian civilization was reflected. The reinforcements on land were a third slower than the reinforcements on water.
After entering the Egyptian civilization's territory, Yang Rui had been using Sky City to fly around. He had almost never walked on the ground, so he didn't have much experience with the Egyptian civilization's movement on the ground.
In the Egyptian civilization area in the game, although it was not as serious as the desertification in reality, the area covered by greenery and forests was much less than most other civilized areas. Most of the areas were still yellow sand as far as the eye could see. The large and small deserts were also connected, which was very inconvenient for movement.
Most importantly, the temperature in the Egyptian civilization was unbearable. Due to the high temperature and the desertification of the terrain, the temperature was unbearable. Ptolemy XIII's reinforcements would definitely not be able to catch up with them, which meant that the two groups of reinforcements on land would be much slower than the ones on water.
"Kill!"
"Filler, uh!"
“”
A thousand kilometers southwest of Saiis City, in an undulating area of hills and forests. Ptolemy XIII's reinforcements on the east bank of the Nile had just arrived when they were caught off guard by the soldiers who rushed out from behind the hills and forests.
There weren't too many mounds in the first place, and the forest on the other side was mostly filled with tall plants. There were very few bushes that could provide cover. However, the soldiers who charged out seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and no one noticed them at all!
Of course, this was all thanks to Guo Jia's Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation. Although the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation was not a specialized formation like the Four Bewitching Formation, it contained the changes of the Eight Trigrams, and its concealment effect was not inferior to the Four Bewitching Formation.
Guo Jia had repeatedly scouted the hills and forests to find a place that fit the Eight Trigrams' layout. With the help of the formation flags Guo Jia had crafted, Yang Rui, Cleopatra, and Cleopatra's forces were well hidden. It was normal that Ptolemy XIII's reinforcements did not discover them in advance.
It was only when Yang Rui and Cleopatra's forces appeared that Ptolemy XIII's reinforcements realized that they had fallen into an ambush. However, it was already too late. They had already fallen into the encirclement of Yang Rui and Cleopatra's forces!
Yang Rui had Guo Jia set up the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation with the intention of eliminating Ptolemy XIII's reinforcements as much as possible. For this, not only did Yang Rui's side mobilize Gao Shun's fifty thousand Iron Guards and twenty thousand Sixth Grade archers, Cleopatra also mobilized fifty thousand Horus's personal guards and fifty thousand Nubian swordsmen.
With the huge difference in numbers and the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation's effect, the difference in strength between the two sides was further widened. The result was not hard to predict.
"Trap — Ugh!"
"Huuuuu! Kill! "
“”
However, in the process, Yang Rui also witnessed the power of the enemy's special troop class. The Anubis Slayer's attack power under the enrage effect, as well as the additional effect of the resentment it released on another troop class, the Mummy Devourer, were all very powerful!
The Anubis Slayer might be powerful, but it was only a common attack. The Mummy Devourer, on the other hand, was a ferocious monster after being enhanced by the Mummy Devourer. Although its size was not much different from an ordinary soldier, it could devour half of its opponent's body in one bite.
Just as ferocious as the Anubis Slayer, the Mummy Devourer was more like the zombies in Resident Evil. It could infect the enemy with diseases or negative energy. It might not be able to assimilate the enemy, but it could greatly reduce the enemy's combat power.
These two types of troops did cause some damage, but their total number was only about thirty thousand. Under the suppression of the special forces, which were several times their number and were comparable in strength, they could not cause much of a stir.
However, from this, it could be seen that some of the characteristics of the Egyptian civilization's military units could not be underestimated. Even the personal guards of Cleopatra Horus and the Nubian sword-and-shield soldiers were very powerful. However, the two of them were not as unique as the two special units of Ptolemy XIII. They were very balanced in both offense and defense.
At this time, Yang Rui and Cleopatra had already defeated two of the three reinforcements sent by Alexandria. After that, Yang Rui and the others rested for a while before they regrouped and set off again. They caught up with the third group of reinforcements half a day later.
This time, Yang Rui and Cleopatra seized the opportunity when the enemy was crossing the river and gave them a head-on blow! (To be continued …)
