In a camp not far from Hamna Tower, a large number of cavalry in black robes gathered here.
They are all members of the Pharaoh's guard who gathered in response to Adebe's call.
At this time, three days have passed since they escaped from Cairo, and things have completely deviated from the trajectory of the original movie.
Immorton, who occupied Cairo, did not capture Evelyn like in the movie, and naturally there was no plot of taking her to Hamunata to resurrect Ansuna.
The Pharaoh Guards, who originally had to wait until the plot of the second movie, were also assembled in advance. In three days, tens of thousands of tribal cavalry gathered in this temporary camp.
During these three days, Chen Mo and others were not idle.
O'Connor contacted his friends and brought an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion from the British garrison on the Nile River, which was considered a rare heavy fire support for them.
In fact, this incident was also something that made the British furious.
Although Britain has recognized Egypt's independence, in fact they still regard Egypt as a protectorate and retain a strong military force in Egypt.
As the capital of Egypt after independence, although Cairo is not as important to Britain as Alexandria, it is still a city of considerable value. Many senior British officials in Egypt, senior officials of the Egyptian government, and the current ruler of Egypt, the King of Egypt,
All in Cairo.
Now that the city has been occupied and a large number of people in the city are under control, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the British Empire.
Although in 1922, the British Empire paid a heavy price in World War I and suffered huge losses in national power. It was no longer able to maintain the two-power rule that required the Royal Navy to be equivalent to the combined naval power of any other two countries in the world.
A naval treaty was signed to keep tonnage consistent with the Americans.
But the British Empire is still the world's most powerful country in this era. If someone loses face like this, they will get it back even if they start a war.
Although the British officer responsible for recapturing Cairo did not believe O'Connor's story about the mummies and did not look down upon the tribal cavalry of the Pharaoh Guards, as a qualified officer, especially an officer of the British Empire, he was still very
Understand that the more cannon fodder the better, especially the cannon fodder composed of colonial people.
Therefore, he agreed to O'Connor's plan to join forces with the Pharaoh Guards to attack Cairo, and even generously provided a batch of Lee-Enfield rifles to the Pharaoh Guards.
It can be regarded as strengthening the combat effectiveness of the tribal cavalry of the Pharaoh Guards.
O'Connor himself had previous experience of serving in the French foreign mercenaries, so he was retained by the British as a liaison, responsible for communicating and coordinating the military affairs between the two sides.
As for the three Americans, because Cairo was occupied, the ship they were scheduled to return to the United States was naturally unable to leave, so all three were stranded.
Although it is not impossible to take a detour to Alexandria and take a boat back to the United States from there, the news of the fall of Cairo has spread. Alexandria must be people who are eager to escape Egypt. Even if they go, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get a ticket, so
After discussing for a while, the three people decided to stay.
At least if you stay with Chen Mo and the others, your safety is guaranteed.
Chen Mo didn't pay too much attention to the choices of these three Americans. He just asked them to stay in the camp and not run around, and then he and Adebe planned how to attack Cairo.
The number of the twelve pharaoh guards who were summoned was not equal. The largest number may be one or two thousand people, and the smallest number is only a few hundred people. They are not so much twelve armies, but twelve tribes.
In the beginning, they were the most elite troops in ancient Egypt and the most trusted warriors of the Pharaoh. Otherwise, they would not have been entrusted by Ramses II with the important task of guarding the Tomb of King Hamnatta.
The current Pharaoh Guards have not lost much to their ancestors and are still powerful and loyal warriors.
Otherwise, they would not have been able to stick to the same mission for more than three thousand years. During this period, they were not afraid of life and death and always guarded the peace of Hamna Tower.
In the second part of the movie, this army of Pharaoh Guards resisted the attack of the Anubis Army. As far as humans are concerned, they are powerful and elite enough.
However, times have changed. The elite troops in the era of cold weapons are just the tears of the era being massacred in this era of hot weapons.
Although they have the courage to wield their swords against the army of death, in the face of bullets, they are still just mortals.
Even because of the characteristics of the army in the cold weapon era, even if they were equipped with firearms suitable for this era, they still became a backward rabble.
If automatic weapons were not particularly popular in this era, I am afraid that this pharaoh's guard with a long history would have become a tear that was run over by the wheels of the times.
"Your people are all cavalry and are not suitable for attacking the city, so it is best to let the British take the vanguard." In the tent in the camp, Chen Mozheng was discussing the combat strategy with Adebe and several captains of the Pharaoh Guards.
The reason why Chen Mo said this was mainly to save face for the Pharaoh Guards, and also to allow them to preserve their strength.
There were Egyptian troops and British troops stationed in Cairo. When Cairo fell, these troops were also controlled by Immorton.
Although Chen Mo didn't know how much combat effectiveness these armies could exert after being controlled by Immorton, they were modern armies trained by the British after all. Chen Mo was not optimistic about the battle between the tribal cavalry and them.
Of course, even if those troops could only exert the same fighting power as the civilians they saw that night, Chen Mo did not intend to let the Pharaoh Guards consume their strength like this.
"The attack on Cairo is not the focus. Our primary goal is to stop Immorton." Adebe did not care about this. In the eyes of him and the other captains of the Pharaoh Guards, even if all of them died, as long as they could stop Immorton.
If Morton destroys the world, it will be worth it.
Regarding Adebe's clear purpose, Chen Mo nodded in affirmation, but he still had some questions: "What is the purpose of Immorton occupying Cairo? Logically speaking, he should not go straight to Hamna Tower to resurrect him.
Ansuna?"
"That's because he has other ways to resurrect Ansuna." The travel-stained curator walked in from the outside. He looked dusty and his face could not hide his exhaustion, but he still rushed to the table and handed over a piece of paper.
The ancient scroll was placed on the table: "I went back to the book cave of the Pharaoh Guards, where I read the ancient scrolls, and finally found information about Sekhmet's chosen warriors. If Ansuna is really Sekhmet
If the warrior is specially selected, Immorton can use other methods to resurrect her."
