Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 154 They don't deserve to live!

Li Mu gave Philip a guarantee, but Philip was holding back all his energy and continued to enlighten himself. The chief officer of the army cheered him up, which saved Li Mu to appease him.

The final burden of the battle still fell in the hands of the Macedonian infantry. As the city of Tire was completely surrounded, the troops began to push forward the completed siege equipment, and everyone knew that the day of attack was coming.

In the early morning, before the sun radiated enough heat, Li Mu's phalanx had been fully assembled, everyone's spears were polished, and everyone's eyes were full of fighting intent.

Today is the day of the decisive battle, and Li Mu has already issued an order to these soldiers, that is, they must take this city.

As for the reason, it was the corpses of hundreds of comrades hanging on the top of the city. They were hung on the city wall by the enemy to show the public, and they were going to be eroded by the sea wind here. They were suffering humiliation.

So the soldiers wanted to capture the city and rescue them so that they could be buried in the ground and have a decent funeral.

Li Mu just instilled such a concept, and the spearmen in this phalanx were all fighting against each other.

And maybe because they have been attacked by the Tyreans for the past few days, everyone's heart is simmering with anger. Now that they have a way to vent, they are not afraid of death at all.

Now they, on the contrary, pay more attention to revenge for their comrades, and make these ignorant and arrogant Tyrians pay the blood price.

The phalanx was assembled at the port, but at this time, another army with a short sword and long shield walked forward.

Li Mu saw the person walking at the front of the team at first glance. That tall and mighty figure was Admitas, the captain of Alexander's Royal Guard, and he was a real hero.

But this time he walked to the front again, facing the city, these infantry guards would serve as the first siege force, opening a gap for the phalanx.

Li Mu also saw Alexander coming out at this time. He stood in front of Admitas, patted his shoulder and said something, and then the captain raised the dagger in his hand and roared.

Behind him, a thousand infantry guards also shouted loudly.

The field suddenly became lively, the horns began to blow, the ships cruising outside the city of Tire began to throw arrows and stones inward, and several new wooden towers on the completed embankment began to advance.

Li Mu also began to order his troops to get ready. At this time, Philip next to him pulled Li Mu. Li Mu looked over and saw that Alexander was walking towards him.

"Your Majesty." Both Li Mu and Philip said at the same time, but Alexander waved his hand, then looked at Li Mu, and said.

"Yake, I want your phalanx to be at the front, can you?"

Alexander's tone was heavy, Li Mu glanced at the other party, but nodded in agreement, touching his chest,
Alexander nodded immediately, then looked at his cousin and said, "Philip, don't be nervous. After this battle, I will let you go back, okay?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm ready, and..." Philip smiled with his mouth open, the fat on his face was like a blooming flower.

"Yake has promised to marry Yasha to me, and I will definitely work hard!"

When Alexander heard these words, he also glanced at Li Mu, then nodded, and patted the shoulders of the two of them.

After saying this, Alexander turned to check the other phalanxes, and Admitas' troops had already followed the wooden tower to the front.

Li Mu also shouted at the moment, and ordered the troops to start moving forward. The phalanx began to move to the position of the embankment, lined up in a neat line and raised their spears forward.

Both Li Mu and Philip followed. This time, there were enough auxiliary soldiers holding huge shields in front of the spear phalanx to shield them from the arrows, and there were also some sword and shield players in the team.

The front attacks have gradually become more intensive, and the Tyrians who were flanked from all sides are still fighting back vigorously. They use everything they can use to block the advance of the Macedonian army.

But this time Alexander has issued a death order, everyone must move forward, and this island city must be flattened today!

The infantry guards in front pushed the wooden tower forward, and finally after reaching the edge of the island city, all the infantry guards began to climb the wooden tower and ascend the city.

The Tyrians above began to pour fire oil, and the flames hit the wooden tower, and the battle here became extremely fierce.

But other places are also not far behind, with huge fleets attacking from the north and south ports.

They pulled down the fence, rushed in with the fleet, and sank all the remaining Tyrian fleets, killing them all.

On the frontal battlefield, Li Mu saw a frightening scene.

Alexander found a few giant ships from nowhere, and they moved forward against the wind, with hundreds of oars on them sliding fiercely, and then headed for the steepest part of the city.

Moreover, Li Mu also saw that the person standing at the bow of the frontmost warship was Alexander.

He personally went to the forefront of the battlefield to supervise the battle and took the lead.

I saw the warship rushing up to the shore of the small island, the ship stopped slowly, and the position of the collision angle was only one or two meters away from the city wall.

A few boards were put down immediately, and the soldiers on the boat began to rush forward with roars.

On the other side, Admitas, who used the wooden tower project, also achieved results. He and dozens of infantry guards took the lead on the top of the city, encouraging the infantry guards behind him to move forward.

The people of Tyre resisted desperately, and there was already a bloody storm on the top of the city.

Li Mu couldn't see the specific situation of Alexander in the distance from the top of the city, but he could clearly see the performance of Admitas on the wall in front of him.

This forty-year-old captain of the royal guard really behaved like a warrior. He kept sweeping away the surrounding Tyrian soldiers, and stood in front to cheer for the infantry behind him.

He tried his best to complete all the things he should do with the attitude of a general, but he became the target of public criticism because of this.

Just when Li Mu's soldiers had reached the edge of the coast, when they looked up again, Li Mu couldn't see the figure of Admitas.

Instead, the iron gate in front of him opened, and the drawbridge inside was lowered.

Li Mu was the first to walk from the embankment to the beach, and raised his dagger to let the soldiers behind him follow.

The Macedonian phalanx stepped onto the suspension bridge, and Li Mu followed up. At this moment, he saw a tall figure stumbling out of the gate of the city.

Behind him were all dead bodies lying on the ground, and in the distance behind him there were guard infantry surging towards the city.

"Admitas!" At this moment, Philip shouted loudly, and Li Mu also stared intently, and his eyes widened immediately.

It was Admitas at the gate of the city. He was covered in blood at the moment, and a short spear pierced through his abdomen. Seeing that the phalanx of spears passed the drawbridge smoothly, he sat down at the gate of the city.

Philip rushed up immediately, and Li Mu quickly followed, but a wave of arrows suddenly shot down on the wall next to him, and someone in the spear phalanx was injured, so Li Mu had to go over and order the soldiers to move quickly. Pass and take the lead in occupying the city wall.

When all his phalanx of spears entered, the most dangerous city wall on this side was completely controlled by Li Mu's troops, and Li Mu also saw the tragedy on the city wall.

These Tyrians resisted extremely fiercely, and the Macedonian infantry guards piled up corpses at several gaps, and there were signs of mutual strangulation everywhere.

The infantry guards suffered heavy casualties, after all, even Admitas...

Li Mu sighed, and suddenly an angry roar sounded from a city wall, followed by a voice of participation.

Li Mu hurried over, but saw that it was Philip, the dagger in his hand was dripping blood, and the corpses of two Tyrian captives were under his feet.

"Philip! What are you doing?!"

"They don't deserve to live, they can only pay for Admitas' death with their lives!" Philip suddenly turned his head, his blood-red eyes startled Li Mu.
