Chapter 41 Mobile Warfare
The leisurely days were destined not to last long. Soon the guards and servants I came into contact with every day began to ignore the questions I asked. Obviously, I knew that there was a war outside. But the cheap dad was not like
I was so worried that I issued a silence order to all the people accompanying me.
But it seems that this ban on silence is of little use to a girl like Pennywise.
Finally, after I asked him day after day, Pennywise told me about the situation around the empire with a worried look on his face.
Alexander led his army out, and the pagans in the south were quiet for a while. After it was confirmed that Alexander and the others had landed in Italy, the empire's military strength in Anatolia was relatively weak. They gathered troops from all directions and raised the flag of rebellion.
After careful preparations, led by the Caliph of Egypt and gathering in Palestine from all directions, the Muslims in the Israeli area unanimously set out for Syria, the throat of the Anatolia region of the Empire. A week ago, almost all the areas south of the Syrian area fell.
, only the fortified city of Jerusalem is still holding on. Listen and admire
Nieves said that most of the local troops had gathered in Jerusalem, and the pagans did not want to waste time there. Instead, they sent a small number of troops to besiege and then came north. And those sultans who seemed to be very obedient to us were all here this time.
The operation was silent. And now, Aleppo's outpost of Latakia is under siege.
"This coalition wants to ignite the war into Anatolia while we are fighting outside and destroy our Anatolia, which integrates military and military industry."
Pennywise was very worried. She had not been in the mood to play musical instruments, draw or read these days: "What should I do? I heard that there are many of them! Will they threaten Constantinople like they did in the past?
"
"No. Their generals don't have that ability, and their army doesn't have that strength. For now, Jerusalem is safe. Anatolia is also safe, but no matter how strong the city defenses of Jerusalem are, they are only behind the enemy forces.
It is an isolated island. No matter how well the Syrian defenders can defend it, they will be captured by the enemy. If we cannot defeat the infidels, it will be a matter of time before Jerusalem is captured."
"Also, I heard that our army has also hit a wall in Italy. What should we do?"
Hit a wall?
At first glance, I thought Alexander had been defeated. I was shocked. Later, after listening to Pennywise’s explanation, I found out that Alexander led his army to land on the Italian Peninsula for several months. He originally planned to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.
Italian city-states and French confederation
The French army hurried back to put out the fire. Then they set up an ambush halfway, but unexpectedly, the French generals were clever and cautious, forcing Alexander's ambush to fail. Now he could only face off below the besieged city. The unexpected surprise attack turned into a long confrontation.
Alexander's army was not much larger than the enemy's. Moreover, it also needed to rely on supplies transported by sea. In addition, because of the dispatch of this reserve force, we lacked combat power in the battle against the infidels in the south and fell into the position of relying on Syria.
The passive situation of defense. In short, many people in the nobles said that this was a failed arrangement, and the civilians were also worried about the battle situation on the front line.
"The slander against us, Theofano, is spreading very hard." In the past, the tricks we used on the previous royal family were used on us. I don't know what the cheap daddy thinks.
"Swing up? Isn't it? Everyone is worried about the battle. In fact, I also feel that His Majesty the emperor should not lead the army to go to sea recklessly. If he stays, he takes the army to guard in Jerusalem.
The situation of the pagan siege. The empire's navy knows to swim by the sea. I don't do other things. The guy who formulated such a battle is really a fool, stupid fool.
The strategy formulated by the United Front Work Department. "Penovis is dissatisfied with the current arrangement of the empire.
I think I should tell her, I am the fool who scolded in her mouth: "Everyone says that?"
"yes!"
"What else did they say?"
"They said, we should not be mixed with people's affairs of Austria and France."
"That's great!"
Lying on the bed, I seemed to have seen the arrival of victory.
"What are you laughing there? Now the empire has a pagan in the south, there are French and their allies on the west, and the north is the Russian queen who wants to make the bad minister who wants to make the bad.
Will be the leader of such a situation, you will be scolded. "
"Scold, let them scold, the victory proves that I am right!"
"The situation in the empire is so bad!" Penovis said, "Are you right? You said you are right?"
"Well, the whole plan was orally, Alexander went to execute ... What are you going to do?"
Penovis left the seat, I swallowed it, and a chill started from the spine.
"I am in a bad mood! So I want to pull the violin!"
"Women !!! No !!!"
There is a reason for Penovis's mood. In fact, to be honest, the empire has made people suppress it in terms of value comparison.
To put it simply, in Germany, the old man who reluctantly of 75, the unified and Zhiluo 75, must bring a group of young people who are not 60 to fight against a group of French groups.
The same is true in Italy, even worse. Don't forget that Alexander has just fought a war. Although there is Berdhak's assistance around him, lack of experience is still a weakness.
The situation in Syria is better. The situation of we and pagans is half a catty. We are inadequate experience. They are drunk and dreams. Although we have the advantages of some French generals
The partial Keke is very powerful, the uniform height is 85, and the wisdom is only 20,30, but their disadvantages will let other high -profile generals supplement it. There are several generals in China who have good uniform value, but because they are not Romans, they are not, no, no, no, no
If you can get trusted, you can't lead the troops so far. On my bright side, the combat effectiveness is even worse.
Therefore, it seems that it seems that it is a loss.
But the reality is, after a few weeks ...
"Big Victory!"
"His Royal Highness Prince, Big Victory !!!"
Early in the morning, there was a guard that broke my door and yelled at me, and I was in the room at the room, and Penovis, who sighed all day, made me feel depressed.
By the way, forgot to say, because of Alexander's ascension, I upgraded to be a prince, Prince of the Navy ...
"Where's the win?"
"Syria! Infidels of the South!!!"
"Beheaded countless people! The Muslims who attempted to invade Anatolia were almost completely wiped out!"
Oh, that means we are blowing up the pagan anus in Syria.
"Won?" Pennywise looked in disbelief, "Did the army defending the city defeat the infidels outside the city?"
"No, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor himself led an army to descend from the sky and annihilate the pagans in Latakia in one fell swoop!"
"Isn't His Majesty the Emperor in the Italian Peninsula?"
"I don't know either. The messenger who ran all the way in from outside the city called like this. The emperor and the prince defeated the infidels, beheaded countless people, and the crisis in Syria has been resolved!"
After the guards left, Pennywise asked: "You haven't been here all along, why did you go to Latakia?"
"I've always been here."
Pennywise curled her lips: "Then how did the emperor travel from Italy to Syria? Italy didn't go from Constantinople to Thrace. It only took one day on horseback."
"We have sea ships, and many of those ships are large rowing boats."
Pennywise's reaction was not slow. She was surprised: "You mean our empire's soldiers took half a month to move from Italy to Syria on sea ships?"
"Yes."
First use the navy to drive away the sea area on the coast, and through the past several months of clearing, clear a sea area where no Muslim ships can swim, and reduce the chance of the Muslims running into our fleet to the minimum. This is my plan.
Alexander and the others sailed from Italy to Latakia. The pagans were not warned and were suddenly attacked. They thought we were falling from the sky. Their morale plummeted. In an instant, it was natural that this ragtag group was defeated.
