In July of the fifth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, under the "great enthusiasm" of the ministers led by the king of Israel, David, 30,000 of the vanguard of the Arab army, which had plagued the surrounding areas of Jerusalem for more than two months, finally boarded the ship of Daifuku, which was specially used by the Mediterranean Fleet to transport troops. XsHuotXT

The 50 Damin warships on the periphery formed a huge attack arrow, pinching the 50-meter-old Dafu ships carrying thousands of soldiers and horses lined up like fish scales, and the huge fleet sailed into the outer harbor of Jerusalem with the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles like whales.

Even if the farewell ceremony has been over for almost an hour, the entire sea can still be seen being occupied by the huge sails of the Damin fleet, looking at such a spectacular scene, the cunning David can't help but cover his head with his hands and sigh: "How majestic Damin is!" I'm afraid that I, the Jews, will live forever in the shadow of the Min people! ”

But before David could finish complaining, the great Jewish elder on the side yawned and said lazily: "Your Majesty, there are still 110,000 United Arab troops outside Jerusalem, and we still have to find a way to serve them well."

A basin of cold water was poured on David's head, and he returned to Jerusalem dejectedly in front of a group of ministers. Don't talk about dreams!

…………

Although there were some setbacks when the troops were dispatched, but for the victory over the Eastern Roman Empire, the upper echelons of the Great Min maintained an optimistic attitude, because after nearly a hundred years of devastating wars, the current Eastern Roman Empire is really a bit of a miserable appearance that has just been whipped by Attila, the whip of God, the ruling population has shrunk from the original 30 million to about 10 million now, and the power has shrunk in the Balkan Peninsula. A while ago, Constantine IV was defeated outside Antioch with the last of his troops, and the generals and ministers of Damin were very optimistic that they would be able to spend the New Year in the Grand Palace of Constantinople during the Spring Festival of the fifth year of Kaiyuan.

Even Li Yexu, the head of the vanguard, has such an optimistic attitude, although he will not underestimate the enemy, but he is still full of confidence in defeating the Eastern Roman Empire.

Life at sea was still quite boring, and after the excitement of the first few days, the daily life consisted of sleeping in the dimly lit cabin, or lying on the deck and watching the endless sea.

For the Arabs, these landlubbers, from the vast desert to the same boundless sea is a new thing, the military discipline of the Fujian army is not strong against these guys, many people just started the boat and shouted excitedly lying on the side of the boat to see, but as soon as the boat was bumpy, it became a group of people lying on the side of the ship and spitting, more than 100 boats, everywhere was a sour smell of stomach juice.

Some Arabs actually cried and shouted to go home, and even shouted to do something to the Fujian army, but unfortunately a few of the Fujian sailors who came to suppress them were thrown into the sea, looking at the appearance of their companions fluttering in the sea, a group of heroes and heroes on land, robbers and bastards quickly became dumb.

Seeing these guys squatting back into the cabin under the leadership of their respective clan leaders, Li Yexu was very suspicious of how they won the battle of the ship's mast back then, defeating the Eastern Roman Navy, which was several times their size, and defeating the old naval empire.

However, it is not surprising that the Syrian governor Muawiyah once gathered the best sailors and craftsmen in Damascus, and the soldiers of the Christian faith accounted for more than half of the Arab navy, and there was a strong expansion of the Blue religion**, those Arab soldiers of course bravely moved forward and left the horrors of the sea behind.

But now, the caliphs representing orthodoxy are all dead, although the Arabian Peninsula is still ********, but either the Min people have established the Sultan, or the Fujian people have established the caliphate, and the only representative of the orthodox Mecca, the contradictions between the Hawariji and Shiites and the Sunnis have become acute again, and the Arabs have long lost the fanaticism of the past.

This time, they gathered on the territory of the Greeks under the command of the original enemy, Da Min, and for their own sake, the morale of the Arabs naturally weakened, and it was natural that the tenacious Arab army had such a weak and hypocritical side.

can be trusted by Li Ji, and defeated Sheng Lianshan as the vanguard manager, Li Yexu does have his superiority, unlike other arrogant Damin generals, guarding their own army, and ignoring the foreign races, Li Yexu behaved very approachable, marching on the sea for more than ten days, Li Yexu basically ran a few times on each boat, and a group of Arab chieftains who were appointed as captains and captains were basically friends, and they also had an understanding of these Arabs who had been hostile for a long time.

These days, Li Yexu's feeling about these sand leopards has also changed, and he has always had the impression that these Arabs are bloodthirsty, wild, and have an almost paranoid fanaticism for faith, and sometimes they will not flinch even if they fight to the last soldier, the last battle in the mountains of Lebanon, Li Yexu once remembered that several Arabs who attacked him with fire oil cans even if the cans were blown up, they also burned a fire on their bodies, and they still rushed into their own military camps in a frenzy, and the madness was outrageous.

But closer, Li Yexu found that these Arabs are not imaginary demons, in ordinary life, these Arabs are quite warm and cheerful, generous and generous, every time they go to other ships as guests, these guys take out the treasured tobacco leaves to share with themselves, these guys also have feelings, when talking about the difficulties of the tribe, they will also look down, they also love their wives and children, even different from the numbness of the indifferent and numb Gurk mountain people that Li Yexu has contacted before, Arabs are as rich in emotion as their music.

These are in stark contrast to the madness of looting, which makes Li Yexu glad to have found the entry point of Arab culture and Chinese civilization, and on the other hand, he still can't help but feel the complexity of this nation.

On this day, just when Li Yexu was still in the relationship with a certain subordinate Zhonglang into the relationship between the officers and soldiers on the T-boat, a Da Min sailor hurriedly climbed onto the boat and found him.

"Bid down to meet the general, General Lou Chuan ordered the mark to urgently find the general to go to the flagship to discuss matters!"

The army regards the navy as a transport team, and the navy also regards the army as an arrogant landlubber, which is a general estrangement, and the same is true in the Fujian army.

Puzzled for a moment, as smart as Li Yexu, but his face quickly showed a little joy, and he apologized to the lieutenant general, and hurriedly followed the messenger to the boat.

The small boat of the Fujian army is also broken with skill, two rows of wheels on both sides of the boat, the sergeant pedaled on the pedals, as if the later generations pedaled bicycles, less than ten minutes, they caught up with the flagship in front, climbed to the flagship more than ten meters high through the soft ladder, without waiting for the sailors to lead the way, Li Yexu had already led the guards to hurriedly board the bridge, and shouted from afar.

"General Lu, but you're almost in Konya?"

"That's right! There is only one hour to go by sea, and it will be almost there. ”

Dressed in the blue and black admiral armor, Lu Ning turned around in response, but his face was extremely dignified.

"The last general is looking for the general, he wants to remind the general, restrain his subordinates, don't panic for a while, run around!"

"Why?"

A circle of question marks suddenly appeared on Li Yexu's head, but before Lu Ning answered, he had already understood, in the nervous shouting of the sailors, in the sea fog in the distance, small dots began to be clearly displayed on the sea surface.

Eastern Roman Navy!
