Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 151 Paving a Way
Li Mu's phalanx entered first, and when the suspension bridge in Tiro City was lowered, it was able to allow six or seven rows of soldiers to enter at the same time, and Li Mu made the phalanx change at the first moment when the suspension bridge was lowered. It began to become narrow and long, but also entered the city with the skirmishers.

Spearmen are actually not very useful in this situation, especially in urban combat, where attacks come from all directions, and it is almost difficult for spearmen to deal with surrounding attacks.

Therefore, when Li Mu ordered the troops to advance, he kept asking them not to enter the trails and only march on the main roads of the city. Li Mu also kept shouting to the surrounding skirmishers to protect the spearmen.

The footsteps of the orderly troops entered the city, as did the cheers of the Macedonian army outside the city, but Li Mu had no time to care about the situation behind him, and just ordered the troops to go straight to the outer city near the sea port.

This was Alexander's order. He asked the spear phalanx to reach the outer city port as quickly as possible, not to prevent the people from Tyre from escaping, but to prevent the ships from Tyre from bringing their troops up again.

Although Li Mu was dispatched first, he did not intend to win this feat. This was an order from Alexander, and it was also an honor for Li Mu.

The troops soon arrived at the port, where the remaining soldiers of Tyre were retreating. They never expected that Li Mu and others arrived so quickly, and the ships on the shore were not able to evacuate some soldiers and people. , some Tire soldiers immediately turned around to fight against Li Mu and others' troops.

Li Mu immediately ordered the troops to stop. The soldiers in front quickly put down their spears, and the skirmishers also began to defend the flanks.

Li Mu looked at the warships that had not yet evacuated from the port and knew that this was an opportunity. It was always a good thing to seize these ships, so Li Mu immediately ordered the troops to move forward.

Those Tireese soldiers resisted desperately, but at the moment the port is empty, the phalanx can also be deployed to exert its due combat power, and the phalanx is advancing steadily. There are not many Tireian soldiers, and there is no way to retreat.

Many people fell quickly, and many civilians were driven out and became prisoners of the Macedonian army.

"stop!"

Li Mu yelled, raised the dagger in his hand, and the entire huge phalanx slowly stopped, and the screams gradually replaced the sound of weapons colliding.

Some Tireese soldiers who did not retreat in front of them had all died under the spears of the phalanx, and the smell of blood was rushing into their noses, but Li Mu slowly put down the dagger in his hand, looked up at Those ships that have left the port and headed for the small island in the sea.

There is the inner city of Tyre.

An island city.

The siege battle is far from over.

Li Mu looked at the situation in the distance quietly. At this time, someone bumped into Li Mu. Li Mu looked over, but it was Philip, but his situation was not right at the moment.

There was a knife wound on his left hand, and he was clutching his right hand, and blood flowed out.

Li Mu's eyes widened immediately, and he quickly stretched out his hand to look over.

"Philip, what did you do?!" Li Mu hurriedly looked at the wound, pulled him to the side of the stone pier and sat down, then opened his hands and looked at it. Injured some muscles.

Li Mu looked around immediately, then ran into a nearby house, searched in the so-called kitchen, searched for a long time and finally found a bottle of salt, and found two bottles and jars, put the salt and water together Pour it in and stir it out.

"Yake, don't worry, I was just cut by a wounded soldier, I will definitely not lose my life, hiss~~ ouch!!"

Li Mu poured salt water on the wound, and Philip immediately stopped talking, and everyone around looked over.

"I can't control what's going on with you, but you still have to save your life. Your Majesty asked me to protect your safety, but I may not be able to do it."

Li Mu said something, and then took a cloth and tied it up. There were no good disinfectants in the BC era. Salt was the best thing, and it was better than wine in this era.

But just after the bandages were tied, and he was told not to let the wound touch the water, there was a commotion behind him, and when he turned his head, Alexander had already walked over with great determination.

He came straight to the port, and he also saw the wound on Philip's hand, but he didn't say anything at the moment, but just glanced at Li Mu.

Li Mu also apologized quickly, but Alexander didn't say anything more about the matter in Philip's hands, but said to the current appearance of the port.

"Jacques, what do you think of the Tyrian soldiers?"

"Of course it is vulnerable. The outer city has been captured by us in just a short period of time."

"They are the turtles in the urn now, hiding on that small island." Li Mu pointed to the small island in the distance and said to Alexander. At this time, Alexander also looked into the distance, seeming to remember something and squinting. The eyes are thinking about something.

"This Tyrian is good at building fortresses, but the temple is also on that island."

Alexander suddenly said such a sentence for no reason, Li Mu glanced at him quickly, but quickly lowered his gaze.

Obviously, Alexander was not satisfied with taking down the outer city, he wanted to take down the inner city immediately.

Li Mu remained silent, but Alexander continued, "Yake, how do you think we're going to take this city of Tire?"

Alexander's words were very heavy, but Li Mu did not respond, but Philip stood up and said to Alexander.

"Your Majesty, it's just an island. We can still transport our troops there, and we can also take down the entire city at that time."

Philip said swearingly that Li Mu only looked at Alexander, and Alexander's eyes were focused on the island city in the distance from beginning to end.

There was a sudden silence among the three of them, and the surrounding soldiers seemed to deliberately avoid him. After a long time, Alexander spoke.

"Let's use infantry."

"Infantry?" Philip froze for a moment, and looked at the two of them puzzled, but at this moment Alexander nodded.

"That's right, the infantry is what I can rely on after all."

After saying this, Alexander turned his head and left. Li Mu watched him leave with a clear expression, knowing that he would choose infantry in the end, but Philip next to him was a little surprised.

"Infantry? What do you mean? Aren't we talking about infantry?"

This time it was Li Mu's turn to explain Philip's doubts, and he said to him with a smile.

"Your Majesty means that we don't need a boat to go to the island."

"Then how do we get there?" Philip froze for a moment, then looked at the island in the distance, and then at the nearby port, and suddenly opened his mouth wide.

"No way, could it be that..."

"Your Majesty wants to pave a road to that island?"

Philip was almost surprised by such a conclusion, but Li Mu nodded.

The battle in the outer city ended like this, but the Tyrians who moved to the inner city were unwilling to fail. They began to curse Alexander and the Macedonians, and at the same time sent their navy to harass them.

Those ships were bigger and faster than Alexander's fleet.

They constantly harassed the waters of the outer city, venting their anger.

The Macedonians, who had already cleared the outer city defenses, looked at the island city in the distance across a narrow sea, but they started to drive the captured captives to start building land.

Build a wide land passage that breaks through the sea and leads to the inner city.
