According to Amun's previous guidance and the cooperation plan agreed by Aesop and others, Salem city became the logistics base for the Anu army to attack the south. However, the defense of the city-state and the fortress of the Black Fire Swamp pass were still in the hands of Salem city. The fighters of the Anu army were not allowed to enter the scope of Salem city-state, and Salem city was the transfer station and storage area of supplies and supplies for the expeditionary army 。

During the expedition composed of 6000 warriors, 20000 or 30000 non combatants were responsible for the supply of military supplies. More than 10000 people always lived in Salem during the expedition, which also brought opportunities for the prosperity and development of this new city-state.

On the other hand, Aesop's new deal also made Salem attractive, attracting people from all over the mainland to join the city-state. They came here to create their own homes, from nothing with their hands to create dreams. What is gained in this way is the most valuable, so when the city-state and the homeland are threatened, they can also summon up the most powerful fighting spirit. In this period of time, Salem city-state had the most rapid development since its establishment, although it had continuous small-scale friction with the northern city of enril.

The Anu army went down 600 Li in the middle of the DUK plain and attacked the Marduk city built by eusil on the North Bank of the inland lake. However, the war did not go smoothly, because the kingdom of Baron also mobilized its elite forces to cross the Euphrates River. The elite Baron army of the Kingdom, the Kish army on the western border and the Uruk army all went to the front line.

The head of the Uruk army is no longer Gilgamesh, and its combat effectiveness is not as strong as that of enqidus, but it is still a force that can not be ignored. King hamorabi II of Baron is going to fight with Hattie!

The strategy of Asher, king of hathi, was to attack from both sides. In addition to the Anu army which went south from the DUK plain, another elite army of enril also set out from the city-state of Syria and attacked the city-state of Kish in Baron eastward along the South Bank of the inland lake. If we can capture the land of Kish city-state to the west of the Youdi River, the city of Marduk in the DUK plain will be cut off and trapped in the siege of two armies.

Knowing that the situation was not good, eusil, the city master of Marduk, immediately sent messengers to madanzo, who had a private cooperation with him, and expressed his willingness to form an alliance with Salem and provide strategic materials to fight against the northern city of enril. As long as Salem closed the business road of heihuo marsh, he would not cooperate with the kingdom of Hattie. Medanzo took the letter with a wry smile for a long time, only to reply: "what have you been there for?"

Although the alliance was not negotiated, eusil was relieved because the Baron army of the kingdom of Baron arrived at the city of Marduk. At the same time, two other legions crossed the Euphrates River and gathered at the border of Kish city state to meet the invading army of enril. Hattie was on the offensive, and Baron was on the defensive. The war had been fought intermittently for more than a year. Although Hattie's army had the upper hand, it never won a decisive victory.

The kingdom of balun fought for the whole country, and the commander-in-chief of the battlefield was Prince Feng NUI, who was well-known in China. If we lose the battle, we will lose the land of Marduk and Kish to the west of the Euphrates. If we win, we will not take advantage of the kingdom of hathia. At most, we will destroy the enemy's army.

But Prince Feng NUI will come if he doesn't come. The last war took place in this area, which made him gain the reputation of being respected by all the people. At the same time, he was put in this position. The ministers of the Baron dynasty did not hesitate to recommend him as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield.

Prince Fengniu was also very talented. He promoted Diqi Zhou, a small mayor of Akkad, as the general Quartermaster. Although the battle of defending the territory was hard, it did not retreat. Although the Anu army did not capture the city of Marduk and enril's army did not drive the Baron army to the East Bank of the Euphrates, they cooperated to complete another task.

The two regiments built docks on the north and south sides of the inland lake, built ships and opened waterway to echo each other. The Anu army developed a fertile land in the wasteland on the North Bank of the inland lake. First, it served as the camp of the rear army, and then as the material storage place of the forward base. The scale developed from the village to the town, and then from the town to the city-state.

It took nearly two years to build a city-state by continuously sending personnel to reclaim wasteland and build a city-state. The name of this city-state is meisuo city. Dukeping was originally a place that could be developed. This piece of fertile land can accommodate far more than the present several city states.

King Asher's expeditionary plan was originally prepared with two hands. On the one hand, it was better to curb the expansion of the kingdom of Baron. On the other hand, it was also an opportunity to occupy the DUK plain and open up new territories. Amun had expected this, but the situation of isaleng at that time could not prevent the hathian kingdom from doing so. It could only cooperate and benefit each other.

After more than a year of the war, both sides were somewhat frustrated. Prince Feng NUI led the army to resist. It would be more than worth the loss for both countries if he fought hard. However, the kingdom of hathi has achieved its strategic goal and established a city-state in the DUK plain.

Most of the area controlled by the city-state of Meisu is in the DUK plain, and a small part is on the grassland on the South Bank of the inland lake. The two territories can communicate with each other through the ferry. Most of the enril troops, except some of the troops who stayed at the ferry, had crossed the inland lake to join the Anu army. Although they were still at war with the kingdom of balun, the large-scale attack operations were less and less, and the situation gradually stabilized, forming a new balance situation.Due to the establishment of the city-state and the opening of inland lake waterway, the logistic pressure of the HiTi expeditionary army was also becoming less and less. If the situation continues, it may only require a truce agreement between the two kingdoms. Prince Fengniu has asked King Baron to send an envoy to King hathi to negotiate.

At this time, the situation of the war changed suddenly. No one thought that king sinah of Assyria launched a sudden attack on the kingdom of balun by bypassing the Assyrian plateau from the northeast.

The kingdom of Assyria has the smallest territory and relatively less abundant products in the surrounding areas, and has always been regarded as the weakest country. The city of enril in the north of DUK plain also attracted people's attention. It is known to all countries that the kingdom of Assyria sent a giant army to cross the Assyrian plateau to establish this city-state in the north of DUK plain. After a great war and continuous friction with Salem, I'm afraid there is no room for us to pay attention to anything else.

Even if the Assyrian Kingdom wants to start a war, it will continue to increase its troops in enril, which not only consolidates the established strategic base, but also expands its sphere of influence. This is a kind of habitual way of thinking. But the kingdom of Assyria broke this inertia and made a move.

After a great war with Salem, the kingdom of Assyria did not reinforce other legions to enril, but ordered the legions of giants to continue to assemble. Instead, they did not fight against Salem. They only had small-scale military conflicts and maintained a low-intensity state of war. It's hard for the giants to attack Salem, but it's OK to keep enril.

The Legion of giants has always been the most elite vanguard force in Assyria. Where it appears, it means the main attack direction of the Assyrian Kingdom's military strategy, but this time, it is a false shot. The kingdom of Assyria has been out of the limelight for a long time. No one expected that king sinnah had spent ten years training four regiments in silence. The combat effectiveness of each regiment was comparable to that of the main forces of other kingdoms.

How can the Assyrian Kingdom support such a large and elite army? It can be said that sinnah is ambitious, or that he is a poor soldier and Dethrones military forces. He has been planning for many years and is on a military road. Most of the land of Assyria is steep plateau and mountainous area, with less arable land and poor soil. However, the Assyrian plateau is rich in minerals and can be used to build weapons. Sinnah has been quietly training troops with the strength of the whole country in recent years.

He sent the remarkable legion of giants to the DUK plain, and when the battle between the kingdom of Hattie and the kingdom of Baron reached a stalemate, the opportunity finally came. As commander-in-chief, sinnah led three regiments around the Assyrian plateau and stormed the hinterland of the kingdom of balun from the northeast, which caught the kingdom of balun unprepared.

The main forces of the kingdom of balun fought with the Hadith army to the west of the Euphrates River. All the important strategic materials were also transported to the Western city-state of Kish for hoarding, which could not be transferred back. Several city states in the Northeast are the weakest places to guard against. The garrison troops are not the opponents of the fierce Assyrian army. They have been captured six city states in a row in half a year.

The kingdom of Baron was taken advantage of and suffered such heavy losses. On the one hand, the main force was in the Western Front; on the other hand, the two successive Wars also seriously consumed its national strength. Seeing that the whole kingdom was in danger of being destroyed, the old hamurabi II urgently ordered Prince Fengniu to lead his army back.

How can aha take advantage of this opportunity to launch a strong attack? As a result, Prince Fengniu's efforts for a year and a half were in vain, and he had to beg for peace with the kingdom of hathi, ceding the land west of the Youdi River, and at the same time, the city of Marduk fell. The Hadi Army established a city-state, attacked and fought a city-state, and obtained a small half of the city states of the kingdom of Baron on the West Bank of the Euphrates River, which became a newly opened territory and completely realized the strategic goal!

The young king Ya was set up in the palace and looked up at the sky with a long smile. He finally achieved something that neither the former king nor the hero had achieved!

King Asher's strategy was to appease the king. He changed the name of Marduk to budamia City, demolished the statue of Marduk and established the temple of enril. He still allowed the aborigines to live and reclaim, but he swore allegiance to the kingdom of hathi and the great God enril, and became the people of the Kingdom.

The second stage of this intermingled war was mainly between Assyria and Baron, which lasted for more than half a year.

Although Prince Fengniu kept the capital after his return, the kingdom was very weak at this time. Facing the fierce Assyrian army, he had to beg for peace again and formally signed an instrument to cede the six fallen city states. The land of those six cities had been occupied by the kingdom of Assyria, and the kingdom of ebaron could not recover its current strength.

But as soon as the official document was signed, it was tantamount to recognizing that the six cities were included in the territory of the kingdom of Assyria. It was still the document signed by Prince von Neuer on behalf of the kingdom of Baron. At that time, he almost broke his teeth and had to resist tears. The six city states occupied by the Japanese have been completely changed. Many places have been turned into scorched land. Sinnah, king of Assyria, is so cruel!

Before the war, sinnah was a very wise and capable monarch, although he had a lot of brutality in his country. He carried out a military route. Although the life of the people was poor, the Assyrian Kingdom, which had a strong folk custom since ancient times, maintained a stable social order and accumulated a strong military force. Sinnah may be a genius in military affairs. He knows how to endure and how to find the most suitable fighter.Ten years ago, he had just ascended the throne and carried out military reform, which not only stipulated that every adult man in the kingdom must receive the training and military service of samurai, but also implemented the recruitment system, attracting distant highland giants, bandit gangs and vagrant explorers to join the army, and promised that they could get rich rewards in the war.

The army of Assyrian kingdom includes not only traditional chariot soldiers and cavalry soldiers, but also heavy armored infantry and light infantry. At the same time, it specially trains siegers and logistics soldiers, as well as engineering soldiers that are not available in other kingdom legions. The military equipment is supplied by the state, equipped with iron armor, weapons and horses, as well as rammers and catapults to attack the city.

When the Assyrian army marched into the territory of balun, sinnah's brutal nature was finally revealed, just like a more distorted outbreak after years of repression. As a weak monarch in a corner of the country, he has been forbearing for too long, and he can not bear it. Only in the near crazy killing can he get the pleasure of venting.

Where the army passed by, they destroyed the city, destroyed the people, burned, killed and plundered. The people in the kingdom of Assyria were always fierce, and these soldiers almost became beasts in the endless killing. They hung the bodies of the enemy on sharp wooden posts for public display. They were as dense as a jungle. When they met with resistance, even the women and children in the whole town could not survive, and a large number of gold and silver treasures became spoils of war.

Some of the military strategists in the "Kingdom of Germany" did not even think that the soldiers were killed in this way.

Faust was a sage who was deeply loved by the people in the kingdom of Assyria, and was also his strategic plan for sinnah. First of all, he watched the scuffle among eju, Hati and Baren, and chose the right time to add a fire to stir up the dispute. The secret giant army crossed the Assyrian plateau to establish a strategic stronghold, and inserted a nail between the kingdom of hathi and the kingdom of balun, which not only attracted attention but also confused the water. In the most favorable situation of the melee, attack the kingdom of Baron in unexpected ways.

Faust's strategic plan was completely successful, but he didn't expect that king sinah would kill so cruelly. He could not help but remonstrate to sinah --

"invincible great monarch, you launched the war for the establishment of achievements and the permanent interests of Assyria. There is no need to kill unnecessarily. You connived at the soldiers to rob so much gold and silver Treasure, but that does not fully serve the purpose of cultivating war by war. After the war, we still need peace and long-term stability to build a strong and prosperous empire. "

Just at this time, Queen Semir, who accompanied sinach's expedition, also came to the king, saying that she did not want to see the Assyrian soldiers plunder, or she would not go to the battlefield to serve the kingdom. As soon as the war began, he was more and more denounced by the king and the queen.

The Assyrian army stopped burning and killing in the occupied areas, and incorporated the residents of the conquered areas into the register of Assyrian households, and forced to move to other places for scattered arrangement. All the people were not allowed to continue to live in their original places, nor to live in the original villages or towns. These were scattered, and the original inhabitants of Baron were given new plots of land to cultivate for Assyrian slave owners and to pay taxes to the kingdom.

The Assyrian Kingdom occupied the land of six city states and became a new territory, and owned a large number of slaves. The people who participated in the military war of Assyria formed a new privileged aristocratic group. They gained land and ruled the area with slaves. They restored part of the production and made up for the consumption of the war. The killing finally stopped and the situation gradually stabilized.

These policies of sinnah were made at Faust's suggestion. They were indeed conducive to the rule of the occupied areas. On the other hand, Faust's main purpose was not to see the massacre of corpses everywhere. At the same time, at the firm request of Queen Semir, sinnah finally agreed.

The implementation of the new deal took time to digest the occupied areas, while the front line of the Assyrian army was almost stretched to the limit, and the front army was still fighting. At this time, King Baron sent Prince von Neuer and his army to resist the latest attack of sinah, and asked for a truce and peace.

Sinnah enjoyed the pleasure of the king's presence in the world. He was happy to see that the powerful kingdom of Baron showed his submission to him. Moreover, he was unable to expand on a larger scale for the time being, so he agreed to the Kingdom's begging for peace. After the armistice, the last batch of thousands of prisoners of war were brought back from the front line, including legions from the kingdom of Baron, but most of them were urban residents who had resisted the Assyrian army.

In the last war, the Assyrian army did not win a complete victory. Sinnah was very angry and ordered that all these people, old and young, should be beheaded and skinned to deter those who tried to resist his authority. Faust and Semir couldn't see it, and insisted that the king should not kill those who had already surrendered. Many of them were ordinary residents who had never fought against the Assyrian army.

Sinnah was very unhappy, but suddenly he changed his mind and said, "please plead for these people and ask for my mercy to leave them alive. Well, I will divide these slaves into two parts and give them to the wise, the teacher and the queen. But I have a task for you to complete, or these people will still die! "**(to be continued.
