The Legend of the Persian Cat (Story)

The story takes place in the ancient Egyptian city of Perus in 525 BC.

　　For many years, the kings of Persia and ancient Egypt had been at war, their weapons and soldiers were equal, so they often carried out cruel tug-of-war for one city and one pool.

　　The ancient city of Perus is located in eastern Egypt and is a strategic location on the Nile Delta. The battle for Perus was often the focus of fierce battles between the two armies.

　　In this year, the king of Persia led a large army and surrounded Perus. He vowed that he would never collect troops this time without taking this strategic town. However, he commanded his elite troops to attack the city for two consecutive months, but again and again they were repelled by the Egyptians' guns and bows and arrows. The Egyptian army was very cunning, and when the Persians' ladder had just been erected on the high walls, they did not move, and only when they climbed to the top of the ladder breathlessly did the walls give an order, throwing guns and arrows at the same time, killing the Persian soldiers into a river of blood, and fleeing in defeat.

　　The Persian king was very worried: the grain and grass in the city of Perus were hoarded like mountains, and the enemy army waited for work, but the Persian army gradually ran out of food, tired and tired, and the army was scattered, and did not want to come up with a clever plan to quickly capture the city of Perus.

　　As he sat in the tent sighing and feeling helpless, the guards reported to him: "There is a young general outside who wants to see the king. The Persian king's brow furrowed even tighter: Where did the "young general" come from?! Isn't there another royal teenager who broke into the front line to make a fool of himself? He waved his hand annoyedly and said, "Bring him in!" After a while, a young man in a white robe walked into the military tent with great enthusiasm, gave a generous military salute, and said: "Meet the noble King of Persia, the supreme commander of the Persian army!" The Persian king only glanced at the other party with the corner of his eye, and said lightly: "Excuse me, stand and talk, why don't you stay at home and have fun, and run here to stir up trouble?" The young general bowed his head and whispered, "I have come to relieve the commander-in-chief of the siege of the city." I know that the king's grain and grass are only enough to last for about ten days, and in these few days, we must take Perus, otherwise, even the retreat will only be beaten! The young general's words surprised the King of Persia, who jerked himself from his seat and shouted, "Who are you?!" How do you know the core secret? After saying that, he stared intently and found that the other party was very familiar, but he couldn't remember what his name was for a while.

　　At this time, the young general laughed, suddenly pulled a lump of things out of his arms, threw it at the Persian king, and asked, "Do you know it?" The Persian king instinctively used his left arm to block it, and then extended his right hand to catch the white thing, and when he looked closely, it was a Persian cat with snow-white fur!

　　This Persian cat has green left eyes and gray right eyes, and wears a ruby necklace around its neck, which is very precious. The King of Persia immediately recognized the cat as the pet of his daughter, Princess Ahana, and asked in amazement, "How did you get this Persian cat from the princess?!" The young general smiled again, "You gave it to me!" Have you forgotten? The king of Persia was a little annoyed, and he had no idea when he gave his daughter's pet to someone else! Just as he was about to get angry, the young general suddenly took off his hat, smiled and said, "Father, don't you even recognize me as Aihana?!" At this time, the king of Persia suddenly realized: No wonder this young general was so familiar, it turned out that he was disguised by his daughter! However, the joy that had just poured into my heart was immediately replaced by heavy worries. The king of Persia's brow furrowed and frowned, and he said with a heavy heart: "Ahana, I am very happy that you came to see me dressed as a man, but as you said, we cannot attack Perus, and we cannot retreat, and the situation is very dangerous." Aihana smiled and said, "It was because you could not attack the city for a long time that I came to help my father!" Do you really think I've traveled thousands of miles to play or play? The Persian king nodded and said, "I believe that in the previous battles, you have offered advice to find a plan, especially in the city of Tahta, and you have come up with the idea of digging tunnels for me to enter the city. There was sand under the strata, and the tunnels had only taken half the night to dig, and victory was effortless. However, this is Perus, the geology is different, the walls are high, I have thought about any plan, tried, all failed! What good idea do you have this time? Ahana laughed and said, "My plan has been handed over to you!" The king of Persia felt inexplicable again, and Ahana obviously did not say anything, how crazy did she think that she already knew her idea? He sighed, stroked the white cat, and said, "You haven't given me anything but this cat!" Ahana immediately stepped forward, retrieved her pet, held it up, and said, "Persian cat, that's my trick!" Looking at his daughter's mischievous look, the king of Persia was both affectionate and angry, and he said, "Don't make a fool of yourself!"

　　It's dangerous here. Tomorrow, I'll send someone to escort you and this baby cat back. Who knows, Ahana suddenly hooked the white cat under her arm and said solemnly, "No! Tomorrow, I'm going to go on a siege, and my kittens are going with me! The king of Persia fell and sat down on the cushion, angrily blowing his beard and glaring at his eyes. At this time, Ahana snuggled up to him like a kitten and said softly, "Father, I am not here to make you angry, I am really here to help you siege the city!" Haven't you noticed that there is any difference between the Egyptians and we Persians in the treatment of cats? The Persian king hesitated and said, "We Persians... Cats were used as playthings, pets; they Egyptians... Well, they worship cats as gods. It is true that there is a big difference, but what does this have to do with siege? Aihana smiled and kissed her father's cheek and said, "Father is very right, but he has not yet thought of how to attack the city with Persian cats." I ask you, how would you feel if someone threw your god upon you? The king of Persia hesitated and said, "I... will feel sudden and may be helpless.." Ahana laughed heartily, "That's right! I brought five hundred Persian cats with me, and early the next morning, I and the besieging soldiers each carried a kitten in our arms, and before climbing to the top of the ladder, we threw it at the Egyptian soldiers! I thought that in the face of the 'gods' who threw themselves into their arms, the soldiers would panic, and we would take the opportunity to jump on the battlements and seize the victory! A word, the persian king's blood boiled. He jerked up from his seat cushion, raised his hands and shouted, "Ah, God has given me such a clever daughter, what other city can't be breached?!" He took Ahana's hand and went outside with her to see the newly arrived cats.

　　Early the next morning, before the morning fog had cleared from the head of Perus, the Egyptian soldiers guarding the walls heard movement in the Persian camp. After a while, they saw the Persian soldiers again, as before, carrying the ladder like grass sticks, and staggered to the city of Perus.

　　The Egyptian garrison commander, knowing that the Persians were about to attack again, snorted contemptuously and said, "They don't feel enough dead or wounded!" Let them climb up, as usual, and when he is about to climb the wall and get out of breath, you will throw your guns out and shoot the arrows down! How many Persians have been wiped out, give me a number. I'm going to have to sleep for a while." With that, the garrison commander rolled over on the bed and fell asleep again.

　　After receiving instructions from their commanders, the Egyptian defenders, as usual, let the Persian soldiers' ladders be put up the city walls, and they just prepared their guns and bows and arrows at the battlements, only to wait for the tired and breathless Persians to climb up and die.

　　At this time, Princess Ahana was wearing a long sword, carrying her snow-white Persian cat in her arms, and hundreds of other soldiers with Persian cats hidden in their arms formed a death squad and quickly crawled towards the city.

　　The king of Persia looked at them in horror in the distance. To tell the truth, he was well aware of the bad habits of the Egyptians. He had been captured by the Egyptians, and he had witnessed the strange phenomenon of an Egyptian general kowtowing to a cat scurrying into the street. In addition to land, money and power, the war between the two countries cannot be excluded from the completely different attitudes towards cats.

　　However, now that it is a war of real knives and real guns, will the daughter's brilliant plan be lost? If the Egyptian soldiers were not afraid of the cats thrown at them, the consequences would be unimaginable!

　　He will face another fiasco!

　　His daughter will die under the city walls!　　Seeing that Princess Ahana was about to climb to the top of the ladder like an agile young general, the other daredevils were about to build the city wall. This time, none of them had a shield with them, so that they could climb up in time to launch an unexpected "war of the gods" against the Egyptian soldiers in time. If the "gods" Persian cats do not work, their flesh and blood will be completely exposed to the blades of throwing guns and arrows!

　　Ahana struggled to climb up. The cats were well-behaved, silent or scratching in the arms of each death squad soldier. Therefore, when the Egyptian soldiers estimated that they only climbed to the middle of the ladder according to their previous experience, in fact, they had already climbed to the top, and they only had to jump to the city wall, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Egyptian guards. With a hula, the Egyptian defenders all stood up and prepared to grab their shotguns and bows and arrows. However, Princess Ahana had already seen their movements, and she put her hand into her arms, pulled out the snow-white Persian cat, and shouted, "Baby, go catch that guy!" With that, as soon as she raised her hand, she threw the Persian cat at one of the Egyptian soldiers nearest to her.

　　At the same time, the Persian soldiers who rushed to the top of the ladder almost threw out the cat they were carrying in their arms. For a moment, the walls of Perus were shouting, and the kittens, which were regarded as "gods" by the Egyptians, screamed and scratched in the arms of the Egyptian soldiers, biting and jumping randomly, frightening the Egyptian soldiers. A few soldiers even knelt down and worshipped the "gods" who fell from the sky!

　　Death squads led by Princess Ahana soon captured the city.

　　Then the second group of Persian soldiers quickly rushed into the city of Perus from the gap in the open wall.

　　The impregnable city of Perus was finally breached. Ten Persian soldiers opened the heavy gates, and the army led by the Persian king immediately rushed into it like a tide.

　　Of course, faster than the Persian soldiers were the five hundred Persian cats, who meowed and ran through the streets of the strange city of Perus, like a group of celestial soldiers who would show their might in this ancient city.

　　Many Egyptian soldiers knelt down, not succumbing to the might of the Persian king, but being subdued by these Persian cat "gods" with colorful fur and magical eyes!

　　When perus's Egyptian garrison commander woke up from his dream, he found a young Persian general standing in front of him. In the young general's arms was a snow-white Persian cat with a ruby necklace hanging from its neck.
