Chapter 4669 Chapter 4672 [Three surrounded and one missing]

Xiang Nan easily solved the war in Semna, and then he re-appointed the generals who guarded the area, and ordered General Heli to lead the northern expedition, and then returned to Thebes.

After returning to Thebes, Xiang Nan began to implement a series of things.

The first is to establish Tiangongfang. He has a large number of technological inventions and crop seeds to promote.

For example, curved shaft plow, columbine, mill, barrel cart, cast iron, paper making, glass, flat cart, soybeans, peanuts, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peppers, sugar cane, tomatoes, etc.

Although the ancient Egyptian civilization originated early and made great achievements in architecture, agriculture, astronomy, mathematics, etc., it was not too strong.

For example, they have never mastered the skills of deep plowing. They usually scatter seeds on the ground randomly and then let livestock trample them to complete the sowing.

And without mastering fertilization, irrigation and breeding, they only rely on God to provide food for them. If the Nile flooded or there was insufficient water, agricultural harvests would fail, leading to starvation in the country.

Therefore, the promotion of these advanced tools and crops can greatly increase food production and help enhance the national power of ancient Egypt.

The current population of ancient Egypt is only over three million. Although it sounds like a lot, but facing the invasion of the Nubians to the south, the Hittite Empire to the north, and the Mycenaeans and Greeks across the sea, it is not a situation where we can just sit back and win.

National strength needs to be strengthened to cope with external challenges.

To enhance national strength, there must be a sufficient population and more food. Then these high-yielding crops and agricultural tools will come in handy.

…

Secondly, it is to reform the political system.

The political system of ancient Egypt was a system of enfeoffment. The pharaoh enfeoffed the land to the nobles and priests, who participated in the governance of the country.

If the pharaoh is relatively powerful, he can suppress the nobles and priests and maintain the unity of the country. But if the pharaoh's ability is relatively weak, then the nobles and priests will take the opportunity to grow bigger, and even start a rebellion.

Therefore, ancient Egypt often fell into a cycle of "unity-prosperity-weakness-division-unification". This is the reason why ancient Egypt was divided into twenty-six dynasties within two thousand and five hundred years.

Xiang Nan naturally knew the benefits of centralization. Only centralization could concentrate efforts to accomplish great things. Therefore, he had to reform the political system from feudalism to centralization, suppress other nobles and priests, and concentrate power on himself.

After the restructuring is successful, he can promote writing, educate the people, build water conservancy, and expand territory...

…

Just when Xiang Nan started to promote the construction of Tiangongfang, General Heli had already driven a huge ship down the river, joined General Sith, and surrounded Menlis where Seti I was.

The two armies totaled more than 40,000, which was already more than Seti I.

Moreover, the people in Menglisi City were already panicked after hearing about the miracles performed by Xiang Nan. Now I saw 40,000 troops besieging the city, and I was even more frightened. They were deeply afraid that after the army captured them, they would also suffer disaster.

However, General Heli and General Sith did not attack the city immediately.

Because when General Heli returned to Thebes, he met with Xiang Nan and obtained his oracle.

"Whether it's soldiers or civilians, they are all my followers. I don't want too many casualties, so it's best to besiege but not attack. Encircle three and one will be missing." Xiang Nan said in the oracle.

At this time, General Heli regarded Xiang Nan as a real god, so he did not dare to disobey his will. Since Xiang Nan said that he could only besiege the city but not attack, he only besieged but not attacked, and even gave way to Meng Lisi. The gap on the north side of the city.

This approach made Seti I very confused and did not understand what General Heli meant.

Their military strength now exceeds that of the city. There are only 20,000 people in the city and they are no match for the 40,000 people outside the city. And even if the city is besieged, why is it still missing one side?

"What on earth are they doing? They are simply idiots. They don't know how to fight at all." Seti I smiled at his daughter Princess Nefediri. "It seems that we will definitely win this time."

"Father, is there a conspiracy?" Nafedili asked worriedly. Her intuition told her that things didn't seem that simple.

"Conspiracy?! Impossible! They don't know how to fight, so how can there be a conspiracy." Seti I waved his hand and said.

They didn't even know how to besiege the city, but there was still a gap left. If such a stupid thing could be done, what kind of conspiracy could there be?

…

But at night, Seti I knew something was wrong.

Fearing that they would suffer disaster, the nobles and common people of Menglisi were preparing to flee the city.

The soldiers guarding the city felt very frightened when they saw the 40,000 troops and six large ships outside.

Especially when they heard that Xiang Nan was a real **** and had performed many miracles, they also did not dare to confront him.

Therefore, that night, the defenders and nobles opened the north gate of Mennes City, helped the old and the young, and fled in a hurry.

By the time Seti I received the news, the entire city of Mennes had become an empty city.

One hundred thousand people and fifteen thousand troops fled completely.

He was already defeated before the war even started.

"How could this happen? Why did this happen?" Seti I didn't understand at all.

Even if General Heli attacks the city, it is impossible to cause such a big loss. Why did he besiege but not attack? Why did the nobles, common people, and soldiers in the city all run away when he surrounded three and only one was missing?

He couldn't understand it at all.

"Father, I understand. They are besieging the city but not besieging it. They are besieging three and missing one, just to create a glimmer of life for the people in the city." Nafedili finally understood now, "If you attack the city or completely siege the city, everyone knows If you can’t escape, you will fight for your life.”

"That's it." Seti I finally understood, "They are really cunning, I never thought of it."

"Father, we only have five thousand defenders left. What should we do?" Nafedili asked worriedly.

"We also sneak out of the city at night and head to Canaan." Seti I thought, "When we get there, we will gather our troops."

Nefediri nodded.

"Inform your brother that we will set off at night." Seti I said immediately.

…

At night, Seti I ordered his people to quietly open the north gate, and then led his army to escape from Mennes.

Not long after they came out, they saw countless torches suddenly lighting up in all directions, and then heard shouts of killing. For a moment, everyone was stunned with fear, and their legs and feet were weak.

"Father, we were fooled~" Prince Abbas came to Seti I and said loudly.

Seti I also realized something was wrong at this time.

They could still rely on the strong city to stop the enemy in the city, but now in the wilderness, their army could not withstand the enemy's attack at all.

The day of death has come!

At this moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. When he looked down in surprise, he saw a bronze dagger inserted into his left chest, and the handle of the knife was held in his son's hand.
