I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 20
After learning the truth, Antigonus completely gave up his plan to recruit him.

He originally wanted Sipalos to be the regiment commander. I am afraid that no one knows the Pike Corps better than him, and no one is more suitable to continue to command the battle than him.

However, after knowing the truth, he suddenly felt that it was better to let Aristote serve as the regiment leader. At least the latter was a professional officer directly produced by the system.

At the same time, after screening, a total of 480 nine people from Nicanor's army chose to stand under the banner of Antigonus to serve the king, and 190 people were thrown into prison because they were Nicanor's direct descendants.Among those imprisoned, minus a few soldiers from the Bronze Shield Pike Corps, there were actually three company commanders, two deputy battalion commanders, a battalion commander and a regiment commander on the list, which surprised Antigonus From the extent of Nicanor's penetration of the army.

Among the remaining 480 nine soldiers standing in line, there are 980 four copper shield pikemen, 250 eight Sarisa cavalry and 240 seven Greek light infantry using javelins.

This power is the greatest help for Antigonus at present. With his current strength, it is impossible to storm Pella City, but with the assistance of these troops, Antigonus is sure to carry out his plan. A flash of inspiration came up with the strategy.

……

Pera city.

The battle that broke out outside the city quickly spread to Pella City with the pace of passers-by, and caused an uproar, because those passers-by saw the Macedonian king's flag flying in the army formation, so this incident was immediately reported by Oufei. Mia found out.

After learning about this, she turned pale with fright, calling it impossible.Antigonus has been obediently staying in the palace for the past few days, never going out, how could he appear on the battlefield outside the city?

But she quickly thought of a strange thing reported to her by her subordinates not long ago, but she didn't take it to heart, and forgot about it when she turned around.Thinking about it now, the companion cavalrymen around Antigon kept leaving the city and never returned, which obviously had a strong smell of conspiracy.

However, since Antigonus is not in the palace, who is the person who is still there now?
Thinking of this, she frowned, summoned Eupolemus, the captain of the guard who happened to be on duty, and ordered him to lead the heavy infantry in the palace to Antigonus's palace to capture the person pretending to be the king.

After hearing that someone was pretending to be Antigonus, Obolemos frowned, a little unbelievable, but seeing his sister's serious expression, he knew that the matter was serious, so he hurriedly took the order and left.

After Opolemus left, Euphemia still felt uneasy. She didn't know whether Nicanor's army could defeat Antigonus (although she still subconsciously believed that Nicanor's heroic lions would be able to defeat Antigonus). to win), her natural caution drove her to make some preparations.

So, when Eubolmus led his troops to Antigonus' bedroom, a mobilization order came from the Vigina Palace, like a drop of water falling from a frying pan, instantly boiling the whole city.

After a few hours of fermentation, almost everyone in the city knew that their king was commanding the army outside the city. Although the mobilization order did not clearly state who the target of the confrontation was, the commoners immediately guessed the trick.

They refused to respond to the mobilization order issued by Euphemia, and they would not stand on any side until the king's army arrived outside the city. Although the common people are the most vulnerable group, this does not mean that they have no brains and rashly Doing something that offends one of them will cost you your head.

At the same time, Opolemos broke into Antigonus' bedroom with a dozen hoplites, and the soldiers guarding outside did not dare to stop them. went in.

As soon as they entered the palace, they saw "Antigon" in a white Hidon robe holding a Siphus dagger, standing quietly in the center of the palace, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing this, Eupolemus stopped the soldiers following him. He looked at "Antigonus" carefully and immediately saw the face of the person in front of him.He sneered and said: "Angnis, you are so brave, you dare to pretend to be His Majesty the King."

"So? Are you here to arrest me?" Angnis, whose identity was exposed, remained calm. He stroked the cold blade of Seaforth's dagger, already prepared to die for his country.

Ever since he decided to impersonate Antigonus, he was ready to be found out, but he never expected that Euphemia would be so slow and wait until His Majesty's mutiny before discovering that there was an imposter here.

When the intention of coming was pointed out, Obolemos' face remained unchanged. He glanced at the interior of the palace without any trace, as if he was looking for traces of Tibetans. There are ambushes.

"By order of the Queen Mother, Angnis, please come with us," he said.

"I'm sorry, but I refuse."

A gentle smile suddenly appeared on Agnes's face and he refused.Seeing his sudden expression, the alarm bells rang in Opolemus's heart, and an uneasy premonition suddenly arose. He was about to speak, but saw Angnis raising his dagger and loudly saying: "Still waiting. What? Do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of Greek heavy infantry armed with round shields and spears broke into the palace. These soldiers wearing Corinthian helmets directly surrounded Opolemus and others!

The sudden appearance of the Greek soldiers put a look of astonishment on Eupolemus's face. He looked at Angnis in disbelief. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Angnis, who looked contemptuous. Smiling, he said: "Do you think I am being monitored very closely? To tell you the truth, the soldiers outside have been bribed by me, and these soldiers are Greek heavy infantry that I hired from the mercenary headquarters in the port area. .”

"The purpose is to wipe out all of you rebels when His Majesty the King returns!"

When he finished speaking, he showed a ruthless look on his face, waved his hand and shouted: "Attack! Kill them!"

"call!"

The Greek heavy infantrymen who received the order shouted loudly, straightened up their shields, and advanced slowly, further compressing the movement space of Eupolemus and others.The captain of the guard desperately pulled out the Siphos dagger from his waist, pointed at the expressionless Greek infantry, and made a final struggle: "I am the captain of the kingdom's guard. If you kill me, you will launch an attack." Rebellion! The kingdom will not let you go!"

Hearing his threat, Agnes chuckled and said contemptuously, "Obolmus, don't struggle so fearlessly. You look like a goat caught in a hunter's trap. All your struggles are futile."

After speaking, he was not in the mood to continue talking nonsense with the other party, and made a gesture to let the soldiers continue to attack, then turned and walked out of the palace.

After Agnes's turn, the Greek infantry thrust out their spears in unison, and pierced Eubolmus and his men so hard that they died.
