Section 0922 War is about to begin
Wood no longer had the slightest doubt about Liu Mu's words, the bow and arrow could be completely defended at a distance of thirty paces, so the defense against the knife must not be weak.
With a knife, the old wolf just smiled coldly. The knife broke.
Without Damascus, Saracen's scimitar would not have been able to cut through the breastplate of the old wolf's heavily-armored soldier.
The two boxes were carried in front of Wood, containing a pair of full-body plate armor, which was the infantry armor of an ordinary general at the Zhengyuan level, and there was also a full set of knives, bows and other items in the box.
"This kind of power doesn't want people to know when there is no life and death. Your soldiers are too weak and will take at least a year to a year and a half to train. The same goes for General Khmelits. But soon I need you to fight a great victory by crushing the armor, and I don't want any of the spoils to be yours. ”
"Saracen Kingdom, their hands are a little too long, cut off their claws."
"Yes!" The two generals responded at the same time with a military salute of the Don Army.
Liu Mu commanded again: "Rest for three days, and then run back with your weight still loaded." ”
The Tang army collected its troops, and the bison all over the mountains were handed over to the auxiliaries and slave soldiers to deal with.
Before Liu Mu walked back to the camp, there was already a fight in the camp. First Li Junxian and the old wolf, then the old wolf and Liang Jianfang, Li Junxian fought with Zhili Sili again.
There were also soldiers next to them applauding and placing bets.
Liu Mu asked someone to take a horse and sit from a distance, and after these people were tired, Liu Mu walked over: "What is the bet on winning or losing?" ”
"Of course it's the right to play."
"The battle of the eggs, this time the Tang army will not fight. We don't need to go to war with the Saracen Kingdom, we're just selling ordnance. The reason why I need to fight a war is to let the people here see the power of the Datang ordnance, and then sell the ordnance in large quantities. There is no need to let Datang lose half a soldier in order to protect other people's land. ”
Yanagi's words made the eyes of the generals present widen.
It wasn't for the sake of a war that I came here on a ship that traveled tens of thousands of miles, so what are you doing here?
The old wolf was anxious all of a sudden: "Lang Jun, my general said that you are in trouble here, let me carefully select three thousand elites to bring them over in five batches, but you let me come to see the excitement." ”
"It's not a matter of watching the excitement, in case Saracen takes the initiative to attack us, this still has to be guarded against. Also, our soldiers are going to be instructors and be responsible for training the Roman and Persian armies, which is paid for. ”
Liu Mu's words made the old wolf and the others crazy.
If it is tightly defensive, then it is enough to transfer a few border military camps at random, and there is no need to use the divine guard.
And it's also a 3,000 god guard.
Li Junxian asked at this time: "What if the Romans are not strong enough to lose Damascus?" ”
Liu Mu sighed helplessly: "Don't come nonsense." Train the Roman soldiers well, but if it really comes to a critical moment, we will have to fight. But you have to listen to me, we fight for the interests of Datang, and we will never do anything that is not beneficial. At the moment, the port of Djibouti is very important, it controls the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, and is behind the chokepoint. ”
"Okay." The generals understood that Yanagi did not use the situation of orders but persuasion, that is, they hoped to understand each other.
The old wolf said again, "How about the order to train those slave soldiers?" ”
"You assign it yourself, the arming of Djibouti must be completed within the scheduled date, and then whoever finds the time to go to Mogadishu and check the arming there."
After Liu Mu finished speaking, he left, and Li Daozong just looked at it from a distance and smiled, and didn't step forward at all.
He is a general, and the rest are generals.
Li Daozong didn't plan to meddle in these specific affairs, and he could only blame the Tang Emperor Li Shimin for making a little fuss and sending too many elites over.
If it were all ordinary soldiers and generals, I am afraid that no one would be fighting to go to the battlefield.
Time passed day by day, Wood was equivalent to dying once and coming back to life, the old wolf and the others were all generals of the elite division, the training intensity of the Tang Army itself was very perverted, and the training of Shen Cewei was even more perverted.
When the slave soldiers were slaves, they had high-calorie and high-nutrient food to eat. Therefore, even if the body is strong, there is a limit to how strong it is, and under the training intensity of the metamorphosis level, there is not even a single percent of what can be supported.
In this way, the slave soldiers still gritted their teeth and insisted on it for their better life in the future.
Finally, the spies came to report that there was an abnormal movement in the army of the Saracen Kingdom, and the target may be several important towns along the Jordan River.
Liu Mu, Li Daozong, Lao Wolf and other generals led their troops north and garrisoned Eilat.
"I don't know why the Romans only have 5,000 soldiers in this city, this city is very important, after controlling this city to the west can attack Egypt, and further north to capture two more fortress cities, Damascus is not in danger."
Li Daozong's hand snapped on the map.
Liu Mu said very calmly: "The Senate still doesn't believe that the Saracen Kingdom really dares to invade Persia and Rome at the same time, and several fortresses in the Persian Sasanid Kingdom will obviously be attacked by the Saracen Kingdom, so the Eastern Roman Senate hopes to send troops to a position that can support the Persian Sasanid Kingdom." ”
Li Daozong also said: "A two-front battle will inevitably be a main attack and a feint, and I think this is the main attack." This is the strategy of our ancestors to play the sound of attacking the west. ”
Liu Mu said, "You are wrong. ”
"Wrong, this is a feint?"
"No, this is the main attack, and those two fortresses in Persia will also be the main attack. You don't know the Saracen Kingdom, they have been robbing or stealing all these years. From the Eastern Romans, I learned various techniques of weapons and armor. All of them were soldiers, and even children would go to the battlefield to grab booty and slaves. ”
Yanagi began to explain their enemies.
"Speaking of army configuration, they have a fatal weakness, their army composition relies on different types of cavalry to dominate the battlefield, and infantry also plays a very limited role. They relied heavily on ambush tactics, because they started by ambushes when they were weak at first, so the light cavalry configuration was quite high. ”
Hearing this, the old wolf asked, "Their army configuration can't deal with the hoplites at all. ”
"Theoretically." Yanagi nodded.
"The Persian Sassan, who were in the twilight, had been frightened and had lost their combat effectiveness. In the whole Mediterranean, Rome was barely able to fight, but only barely. The rest are weaker, too weak to be described. There is also the issue of tactics, the traditional combat method of the Mediterranean army is to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the battle will be won or lost. ”
Yanagi also said on the side: "After studying Saracen these days, they seem to have learned a lot about our fighting methods, relying on light cavalry to quickly outflank and divide troops. ”
