I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 439 Sun God Wutu's Sun City

In the history of another world, the Hittite Kingdom occupied the three city-states of the Kingdom of Hana and the three city-states of the Kingdom of Babylon for as long as five years.

The reason why the Hittite Kingdom advances so slowly is because every time the Hittite Kingdom occupies a city-state, it must allocate a part of its troops to maintain its rule and ensure that its logistics supplies will not be cut off.

Because of the continuous division of troops, the Hittite Kingdom's offensive became weaker and weaker.

In the end, they withdrew from the Kingdom of Babylon, and did not occupy the cities of Telga, Haradum, Hitt, Lapicum, Sipar, and Babylon for a long time.

Now the Hittite Kingdom gave the city of Telga to the Athens Empire, which allowed them to avoid a large-scale division of troops.

The third day of the occupation of Telga City.

After leaving [-] soldiers behind to protect the supply route, Selene set out for Haradum with Han Tiri, Tielepin and [-] troops.

Roy stayed in Telga City and continued to transform Telga City.

When Roy completed the land division policy in Telga City and recruited [-] local soldiers here, Selene's messenger brought news that the Hittite Kingdom had successfully captured the cities of Haradum and Hitt.

After mixing his own [-] soldiers with the local [-] soldiers, Loy left [-] soldiers in Telga City, and then took [-] soldiers to take over the cities of Haradum and Hit.

After handing over the cities of Haradum and Hitt to Roy, Selene left [-] soldiers to protect the supply route, and set off for Lapicum with the Hittite army.

mid-November.

Although the season has entered winter, Mesopotamia is still warm as spring.

When the news came that Selene led the Hittite army to capture the city of Lapicum, Aries finally entered the Mesopotamia with an army of [-].

Roy quickly completed the handover with Aries, and after handing over the job of taking over the city to Aries, Roy led an army of five thousand to chase the Hittite army.

Sipar City.

When Selene led the Hittite army to the outside of Sipar, Roy finally caught up with the Hittite army with five thousand cavalry.

After the rendezvous of the two armies, Selene, Hantili, and Tielepin were all very surprised by Roy's arrival.

"We just handed over the city of Lapicum to you. If you don't sit in the town yourself, don't you worry about chaos in the city?"

Facing Selene's questioning, Roy explained with a smile.

"I have handed over the job of taking over the city to a capable and loyal person, and then I can attack the cities of the Kingdom of Babylon with you."

Selene frowned.

"If the person you mentioned does not live up to your expectations, I will be very disappointed with you, and the marriage between the Hittite Kingdom and the Athenian Empire will also be cancelled."

If there is chaos in the rear cities and the logistics supply line is cut off, the Hittite Kingdom's war to destroy the Babylonian Kingdom will die halfway.

With such serious consequences, Selene will definitely be very angry with Roy.

Roy said with a smile.

"Princess Hartpurna! I said a long time ago that even if your Hittite Kingdom has no plan to destroy the Babylonian Kingdom, our Athens Empire will conquer the Babylonian Kingdom. I am very serious about managing every city we occupy, so you are worried Absolutely not going to happen.”

After speaking, Roy looked at the city wall of Sipar City.

"How do you plan to attack this Sun City?"

Sipar City is a city guarded by the sun god Utu.

In the history of the Sumerians, the city of Sipar was the fourth city-state to establish hegemony.

In the Triad of Stars and Stars, Inanna, the goddess of Venus, is the patron saint of Uruk. When Uruk dominated the Mesopotamia, Inanna also became the queen of the gods above the gods.

Utu, the sun god, became the elder brother of Inanna, the goddess of Venus, because the city of Sipar, guarded by Utu, the sun god, established hegemony earlier than Uruk, and Utu, the sun god, became a god earlier than Inanna, the goddess of Venus. King of.

The moon god Nanna became the father of the sun god Utu and the Venus goddess Inanna. It is also because the city-state Ur guarded by the moon god Nanna established a more powerful hegemony than the cities of Sipar and Uruk. Utu and Venus Goddess Inanna are more powerful kings of the gods.

It was already 500 years ago that Sipar City dominated the Mesopotamia.

Now Sipar City has been reduced to a city-state ruled by the Amorites. Not only is Utu, the sun god who guards Sipar City, suppressed by Marduk [Zeus], ​​but even Sipar City is also weakened by Babylon.

Looking at the not-so-tall city wall of Sipar City, Selene said with a dignified expression.

"The city of Sipar is the last gateway to protect Babylon. The Kingdom of Babylon has assembled an army of [-] here. It will not be easy for us to capture the city of Sipar."

The total number of the Athenian army and the Hittite army was only 3000.

There are 2 defenders in Sipar City. Even if Roy and Selene are willing to pay heavy casualties as a price, they may not be able to capture Sipar City.

"There are 2 defenders, and the siege battle is very unfavorable to us."

Roy observed the defenders of Sipar City and said.

"But Sipar City is just a small city, and the food here cannot support an army of [-]. I can take my cavalry to cut off the supplies of Sipar City, and let the defenders of Sipar City go out to fight."

Han Tiri's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't help but praise.

"This is a really good idea, then we will leave this important task to you."

Tielepin said with some worry.

"The Amorites can not only use land, but also use the Euphrates River to send food and supplies into the city of Sipar. Can your Athenian cavalry cut off their supplies on land, and also cut off their supplies on the water?"

Most of the city-states in Mesopotamia were built near the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.

Therefore, if you want to cut off the supply lines of these city-states, you must not only cut off their supply lines from the land, but also cut off their supply lines from the water.

Roy said confidently.

"Among my soldiers, some are from the city of Athens, and they are the best sailors. Taking some ships from the cities we occupy, my soldiers can cut off the supplies of Sipar City on the water."

ten days later.

Roy used his actual actions to prove that he was not talking big.

Loy's soldiers not only cut off the supplies of Sipar City on land, but also intercepted the ships of the Kingdom of Babylon on the Euphrates River.

During these ten days, not a single grain entered the city of Sipar from outside.

The food in Sipar City is also exhausted.

If the defenders of Sipar City choose to continue to defend the city, the hungry defenders will soon lose their combat power.

Therefore, the only correct choice for the defenders is to go out of the city and fight a decisive battle with the Hittite army.

The last day of November.

The city gate of Sipar City suddenly opened, and [-] soldiers guarding the city poured out like a tide, rushing towards the Hittite army that surrounded Sipar City.

As agreed with the city of Sipar, the [-] troops of the Kingdom of Babylon came from the city of Kuta, obviously intending to completely defeat the Hittite army with superior forces.

Losing the city of Lapicum, there were still eight cities under the actual control of the Babylonian Kingdom, with a population of only about 30.

These [-] troops were undoubtedly the main force of the Babylonian kingdom.

As long as these [-] troops are defeated, the Kingdom of Babylon will become a lamb at the mercy of slaughter.
