With everything about the siege ready on Alexander's side, he called a war council that very afternoon and let his commanders know of the decision, asking them to prepare the men to finally attack the city tomorrow.

And by the evening, the news of the planned attack had spread to almost every soldier in the camp, causing various reactions.

Some were very excited thinking of the riches and booty that lay ahead, some were relieved that this campaign was going to soon end, while many others were afraid of the deaths that would inevitably follow.

But they knew what they signed up for.

So after the initial surprise, they all quieted down, and getting their thoughts together, ate the special meal that was given the day before the battle.
