It took more than a month, and the first step of my battle plan was completed.

Then it’s the second step.

No, in fact, the second step of the plan started not long after the first step of the plan started.

And this second step will involve the twelve thousand men I left in Constantinople. These twelve thousand will cross half of the Mediterranean by boat and disembark from the Adriatic Sea.

Target?

Duke Marson is blocking Alexander and trying to drive Alexander completely out of the Italian peninsula!

However, this is not all of the plan.

Just when the French thought that I was using Budapest to fight the enemy, I squatted here in Keszthely, which actually cut off the French's use of the communication line from Croatia at the foot of the Alps to return to the Italian Peninsula.

.

Although Croatia is full of mountains, there is still a road between the mountain roads that connects the big cities of the Italian Peninsula, Astre, Venice and Ferrara.

As soon as the communication line was cut off, the Duke of Marseille in the Italian peninsula was isolated. With control of the sea, we could do whatever we wanted with this Duke.

Regarding the battle in Italy, in fact, what makes us most wary is that the Duke clearly realized that once the Roman Empire's mobile forces commanded by the emperor were wiped out, the southern part of France and the Mediterranean coast of Spain would be safe and sound, so the empire must be forced to

The decisive battle with the French took place at the Empire's port in South Naples.

Because the port was removed, the empire undoubtedly lost its foothold in Italy. Without a foothold, it would be impossible to supply. Without supplies, the empire would not be able to deploy Alexander's army to any French country with such advantages as it does now.

Areas where people are weak.

This has to be said to be an oversight on my part. The French Duke of Marson immediately saw the key to breaking the Alexander Marine Corps' attack, and then he mobilized 70,000 people and led them with elite soldiers and generals.

, asking for food and supplies from the Papal States along the way, which not only prevented Alexander from actually fighting him, but also prevented Alexander from finding his supply line, thus suffocating Alexander.

Sure enough, I'm still a little short of a pervert like a real god of war, but the situation is not irreversibly bad, right?

"The horror lies in the fact that the Imperial Prince saw through the sinister intentions of the French at a glance before the decisive battle half a year ago, and then laid out such a trap according to the enemy's plan. He waited quietly, waiting for the French to send their elite troops

He has been led into his trap. Ahhhhh. Brutal laughter echoes in the sky of Constantinople, and there will be countless more corpses in the world..."

"Pennywise, that's enough. It's immoral for you to plagiarize Procopius like this."

"Then how do you think I should write about your conspiracy?"

"Write honestly!"

"No, how can I let people in the future know that it was your mistake, so you won't be unable to be the God of War!"

"It's better not to be the God of War than to be regarded as a pervert! Look at what you wrote before?

"I raised my sword to the sky and swore in front of the soldiers that even if the Sun King was in heaven, I would tear the heaven apart and let the gods fall. Did I say this before I went to war?"

“This is shaping up to your image!”

"Don't write out the things you're imagining in your own head. Also, I want you to write down the virgin night of Kaijie alone?"

"No! They don't write! I'm a clerk, not a pornographic author!"

"Your expression tells me that you must have written it! Hand it over quickly!"

"If you don't pay, you won't pay!"

"If you don't hand it in, then I will have to write it myself!"

"Ah! Ah! What are you doing?"

"Turn over the book!"

"Looking through the book? Why are you taking off my clothes? No! Don't put your hands in... Uh..."

"Not only did I take off my clothes, I also held a pen!"

"Get a pen? Oh my God, it's still daytime! Why did you take off your pants?!"

After writing the fifth happy chapter of the girl Pennywise's virgin night with milky white ink, I realized what I had done.

Yes, I do all kinds of messy things. Holding a pen, isn't this a curse on me for being smaller than the pen? My friend, I'm really wronged, I actually have to use a pen to refer to your huge cannon-like body.

"Perhaps this is also because after hanging out with Pennywise for a long time, I became infected with her literary and artistic atmosphere."

From then on, the accidentally invented name of "writing with a pen" became an indispensable part of my flirting with Pennywise. No, it was an elegant activity specially used to cultivate our sentiments.

Well, sometimes I pick up the pen myself, and sometimes Pennywise reaches out to pick up the pen. Of course, more often than not, I ask Pennywise to pick it up for me.

Just when Pennywise's personal chapter went from zero to single digits, and soon to two digits, and when it seemed that as long as there was enough time, it would not be a problem to move towards three digits, good news came from the Italian peninsula.

.The two imperial regiments I invested behind Duke Marson became the key to reversing the Italian peninsula.

This is not to say that the two legions I invested stabbed the French in the back and defeated the French. If the Duke of Marson was so rubbish, so scum, and so easily defeated, he could not be one of the four famous generals of France.

One of them.

Yes, the generals of this era have their limitations, but that does not mean that they are all fools. On the contrary, they are very smart. They were so smart that they expected that the empire would send reinforcements at the beginning of their strategy to attack the empire's southern Naples.

However, unlike the reinforcements that the French expected to launch another sneak attack from behind, the Duke of Marson, who was waiting so eagerly, failed to wait for the large-scale night attack by the enemy that he expected. Although we did attack at night,

That was just a small group of troops firing cold shots at the French camp.

The small-scale and frequent night attacks gave the French army the feeling of punching flies. Even if the fly swatter hit them, there were still dozens or hundreds of flies around!

I guess Duke Marson was in a lot of trouble at that time, but it would only make him more miserable later.

After learning about the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements, he saw that he could not quickly eliminate the enemy's reinforcements, so he reacted very quickly and retreated to the position he had marked on the map, switching from offense to defense.

Well, his move of stopping with silence was good. He probably thought that if he waited like this, the troops I sent would be exposed, but he was totally wrong.

You know, I personally think that the most essence of the art of war lies in a sentence said by Sun Tzu.

To attack, to the east is above the Nine Heavens, and to defend, is to hide under the Nine Earths. If just because he had sent out reinforcements to cooperate with Alexander's siege and exposed himself as soon as he retreated, wouldn't the deterrence of the reinforcements be greatly weakened?

That's right, an invisible and intangible enemy is the scariest thing.

Duke Marson thought that retreating would force my reinforcements out, but he forced himself into a desperate situation, because Alexander quickly surrounded him later, and the most important thing for this guy was cavalry. Tens of thousands of cavalry were scattered out, and four

When Duke Marson's supply line was cut off, it was already impossible to transport food to Duke Marson, no matter how close those Italian city-states were.

Food, drink and diarrhea for more than 70,000 people is a big problem, and it is even more of a problem when more than 70,000 people cannot eat or drink. However, Duke Marson relied on the original food and could not move for a whole month because he knew

, who occupies the geographical advantage, as long as he does not move, Alexander will not launch an attack, and this month is enough for him to search out the reinforcements I sent!

Just as Duke Marson imagined, he searched for the reinforcements I sent.

Then?

Probably after the Duke of Marson learned about this information, he laughed loudly and sent a letter to the Italian city-states in Italy who were on the French side, asking them to send some troops. The support army I sent was hidden in a hiding place to contain them, and then

Woolen cloth?

After learning about something happening in Austria.

When the war reached this point, the French did not forget the Austrians. Yes, the Austrians were crippled two years ago and had no army. But after several years of rest and recuperation, even if the Austrian army was a scumbag in battle,

, but Zhan Wu Zha combined with the musket can still cause a lot of trouble.

He sent an 8,000-man force to pinpoint the Austrians' only way south, and reinforced the army that was originally targeting the Austrians. The Austrians, who were targeted by more than 15,000 Frenchmen, became quiet, although their numbers were large.

Twice the number of French troops.

A few days later, Duke Marson and Alexander fought a decisive battle called the Battle of Latinro more than 70 kilometers south of Rome and 30 kilometers away from the sea. There was a small town called Latinro nearby.

Then, Alexander won. It is said that the French army suffered more than 9,000 casualties and more than 36,000 prisoners that day. The remaining troops of Duke Marson were trapped by Alexander in a place called Velletri in south Naples. (To be continued.
