() A large number of warships docked in the harbor, and the harbor was crowded with people.

Uncle Tzimiszia took us off the boat.

"Glory to Rome!"

"In the service of Rome!"

The commanders of the Imperial Kiev Army Group and their generals, who had been waiting for a long time, were very enthusiastic. The local governor quickly asked his attendants to carry the luggage, and then reported the preparations to Uncle Tsimiszia.

We rode together towards the city hall.

Uncle Tzimiszia immediately asked about the Russians' developments in the city hall.

To the northeast, there was not much movement among the Russians in Kharkov. Not only was there no movement, even the Cossacks who often came to rob were nowhere to be seen. The Russians in Kiev led their troops to kill the Russian Ambassador on the first day after his return.

To the south, their commander is Lukic, an unknown person, and they are still looting in a straight line. The nobles and big landowners there have been clamoring for the empire to send troops to protect them for three days.

More than twenty days have passed since the Russians left Constantinople. On October 17th, the empire has already gathered the Second Byzantine Army, the Third Spartan Army, and the Eighth Mograine near Odessa.

Legion, these three legions have a total of 21,300 troops, the fifth Ruinxi

The Anshan Army and the 10th Spartan Army are still on their way. One is expected to arrive in Odessa within eleven days, and the other is expected to arrive in Odessa within thirteen days. If they meet, they

, the Imperial Kiev Front Army will have five legions, with a total of 32,500 soldiers.

According to the order, Uncle Tzimiszia could not wait for them. He held a military meeting that day and told everyone the old Duke Bringas' strategy to attack Kiev!

As far as we know, Russia has deployed more than 30,000 troops in Minsk to defend against Swedish attacks at any time. However, considering that the Russians are thinking of going south again, the Russian troops stationed in Minsk will be more, at least more than us.

The Kiev Front Army Group was a transportation hub for attacking Sweden from the north, invading the Empire from the south, and moving left into the German plains.

Uncle Tzimiszia carried the map with him and unfolded it, analyzing the strategy of this group army to the generals of the three legions.

Kiev and Kharkiv, these two cities are not only the forward base for the Russians to attack the south, but also the bridgehead for attacking the heart of the Russian territory. However, Kiev, a city that straddles the middle reaches of the Dnieper River, is more powerful than the city that is separated by the Dnieper River.

Kharkov is more threatening to the southern territory. Therefore, if you want to ensure the security of the southern provinces, Kiev will bear the brunt. If the Russians continue to control this city, the empire will be very passive.

Dozens of people discussed the key points of this battle, and then everyone disagreed on the way forward. Should they choose to take the land route and march in a straight line to Kiev, or should they choose to march to Kiev along the Dnieper River?

The advantage of taking the land route is that it takes less time. The straight line between two points is the shortest. From Odessa to Kiev, a distance of 500 kilometers. According to the accelerated marching speed, it only takes 24 days. If we force the march, it can be increased to 18 days.

harm

It is also obvious that the distance from Odessa to Kiev is so long that logistical supplies are very difficult! The generals of the Second Byzantine Army and the Third Spartan Army who had fought in Damascus all believed that it was best to go north along the nearby river.

.

"How many four -wheeled carriages do we have?" Uncle Zimis Zia suddenly questioned this problem in the discussion.

The four -wheeled carriage, my former imitating what the rural uprising military vehicle arranged in the Huska war. This four -wheeled carriage front bridge was made with the double pole, and it was connected to the chassis through the rotating pivot.

Turn. When the enemy strikes, the car can constitute a square array or a circular array covering infantry. In the first hundred years, it was the weapon of the Empire against the Mongolians, Western European pigs, and followed by the Classical Roman Legion, the Byzantine Cavalry Legion, vertical horizontal horizontal horizontal horizontal horizontal and horizontal horizontal and horizontal.

Centennial military system.

But now, due to the popularity of artillery, the Empire's former RI killing device has become the main force of the emperor ** regiment.

The commander of the three legions reported the carriages in their Army. The Eighth Mogleney Legion carriage came out of the northern border, with 415 heavy four -wheel carriage, 110 light carriages, others

The two army -type heavy carriages are only 300. The three legions have a total of 1,071 heavy four -wheeled carriages and 333 light carriage for supplies.

Each heavy carriage can load 1.5 tons of supply, and the load of light carriage is even worse. The total load weight is only 1900 tons.

On the left and right, that is to say, removing the loading of ammunition and gunpowder can transport food, and a part of the feed carriage is missing.

Then, then

According to the conversion given by the Empire Logistics System, if a troops are 20,000, it takes 30,000 RI to bread every day. The current roasting rate is 3: 4, then 1 pound of bread will require 12 ounces of flour, 1

Pound = 16 ounces. Let's set the bread of each RI portion of 2 pounds, and the total amount of flour required for 10 days is 30,000x2x10x34 = 450,000, 200 tons.

The base auxiliary distance is about 500 kilometers. According to the speed of 25 kilometers per Ri in the empire, the enemy's marching is 15 kilometers, 20,000 people have to take four weeks.

How many people do you have to send to protect the long logistics supply line? By the way, there is no loss on the road, and there are other things that people are the best things that they are good at doing the grain roads and forcing the enemy to retreat to the enemy.

Then, then

So walk along the river?

The general officials of the Second Byzantine Army and the Third Spartan Legion have different differences here.

There are also 100 meters in the local area. Although the water level is very low in autumn and winter, it can still accommodate the vessels in and out. For example, take them into a single -layer paddle boat in and out of the river in the RI.

Three meters, the load weight is 250 tons, the load weight of ten paddle boats can be comparable to thousands of carriages. Twenty paddle boats, 5,000 tons, enough to allow the Kiev's army to fight for 250 days. There are so many supplies.

The advantage is that within one and a half years, we don't need to consider the supply line! Of course, there are so many resources in Odessa, but twenty paddle boats can be equipped with soldiers, and the counter river goes straight up.

Then the building fortress below Kiev, even if he couldn't get it down, there were a large amount of materials and a strong fortress stabbed Russians in the direction of Minsk.

The general official of the Third Spartan Legion believes that walking along the Dieber River obviously does not meet the strategy of rapid assault of Kiev in our Kiev aspects. Because from the Dieber River's estuary to Kiev, there are more than half of the journey.

The distance measured on the previous measurement is more than 780 kilometers. It is more than 280 kilometers more than walking along the straight line from Odeza. There are several legacrors of the legions that have been stuffed.

, But it takes time to move these materials from the carriage to the ship, and to fill up the paddle boats that follow the team, you have to mix the supplies from other places.

At this time, when we come out again, it completely violates our strategic instructions, and it is easy to take a boat without the power to fight back in the raid.

They feel that we can transport supply from the South Buer River, even if the river channel of the South Buer River is not as width as the Dieber River, and the widest is only 100 meters in a lot of Xing to enter a large number of transport ships.

It will be frozen, but because it is in the cities of Poland in the empire, it belongs to the interior transportation, which is safer. The army can set up a supply point on the left bank of the Nantu Ge River below the Kiev.

The troops besieged Kiev into the food. But in this way, we also exposed the transportation line. From the supply base to Kiev more than 100 kilometers. Although there are many hills around, it cannot stop the Russians. This gave the Russians cut off us.

The transportation line forced us to have no food available, and then the possibility of retreat. And setting up the supply point, we must repair the defense work of the supply point. In this way, it takes a lot of time to divide a lot of troops.

In addition, as a military port, Odeza does not have paddle boats used in the inland river, and it is not close to the South Puge River. We can only load the food to the large boat to the South Puge River to go to the sea.

But anyway, the two legion commanders rushed from the areas of stationed to Poland, where they were not familiar with life. After hearing the strategic instructions, they immediately said that they were the same as the map.

"We rushed here from all over the country to help them fight Russians. They also want to find food for ourselves? Don't waste time. I am bored for seven years and let us eat all the way!

A person! Hahaha, I really miss in Aleppo before, go out to the RI son who is fine! "

The head of the Eighth Moglene Legion, this is a typical Sparta, the Spartan, which is also a foodie. It is also his controversy at the beginning of the meeting and suggesting that he is going to land.

Uncle Zimiszia's eyes narrowed, his eyes turned coldly to the head of the Eighth Moglane Legion: "A group of nobles who even protect their own countries, will you deliberately think of them to protect other people's countries?

We cannot give life pulses to the Polish. "

"General, I have something to say!" Standing consciously, Valenz came out of my back. As a hairy boy, dozens of uncle looked at him with his eyes, "We can let a person stay and let let it

The governor cooperated, he was responsible for dispatching Odessa's food transportation matters, and on the left bank of the South Buer River, a stronghold was used to use the collection. This stronghold does not need to be too close to Kiev, but must be in the local city.

We use several cities as a transit, use the peripheral Polish cities for protection, and extend to Kiev. Considering that we cannot eat the food that the carriage was carried on the road, I think we can send a group of cavalry first to allow us to let it go to let the cavalry first, so that let

The town along the road makes food in advance.

The two legions can arrive from the supply point of our establishment from the boat, and then set off the main force. "
