A Thomas "doctor" is indeed doing his best to gather information, but although the people in the city of Rome are panicking, there is no definite news from the side of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although the madman from the East had not looked very good when he met King Edward in the past few days, the conversation between the two did not reveal the intention of withdrawing the whole army and reinforcing the Sinai Peninsula.

This made Thomas a little unsure, did the madman really intend to give up Egypt?

This is also said to be in the past, because in the eyes of all Europaans, Rome is a heavenly city, and there is no place in this world more magnificent than Rome. The Great Song Dynasty gave up the desert earth city of Egypt and tried his best to keep Rome, but Thomas felt that this was a wise move.

Moreover, the other side also confirms Thomas's speculation.

The Song army camp is far from being as simple as it seems, the Song army is indeed preparing, and Thomas knows a lot of news that the people don't know.

They were indeed preparing, but what they were preparing was not to evacuate, but to meet the crusaders, and the Great Song had no intention of leaving.

If you pay a little attention, it is not difficult to find that the Song army has doubled the number of patrols in the city in recent days, and the exploration outside the city has gradually expanded and intensified.

The Vulcan cannons on display in the camp were even missing, and if Thomas guessed correctly, those weapons of war should have been pushed to the top of the city at this time.

Because since yesterday, the Roman city wall has been listed as a military forbidden area within 100 meters, and even the honorable status of King Edward cannot be approached by half a step.

......

——————————

Although the city of Rome was only guarded by 30,000 Song troops, although the strength of the cross was twice that of the Great Song.

However, Thomas knew that if the Song people did not want to leave, then let alone 60,000 crusaders, even if there were 600,000 people, it would be too difficult to take Rome.

He was also in the city when the Great Song Dynasty attacked the city, and he knew too well how powerful the Great Song Dynasty's Vulcan cannon was, and he knew too well that if the Crusaders attacked Rome now, it would be like suicide.

So, after confirming his judgment, Thomas decided to remind the Crusaders that they must not rush forward. Even if the Song army was unstable at this time, it was not something that the Crusaders could defeat.

......

However, what Thomas didn't expect was that things would take a turn for the worse, and so suddenly.

Just as he had already written the secret report and was about to find a way to send him out of the city, the madman suddenly visited Edward again.

After he left, King Edward actually ordered his subordinates to pack their bags.

Thomas is a little confused, is it too unusual to be ready to leave at this time? And, where to go?

"Your Majesty, are we finally going to the East? I've always wanted to follow His Majesty to see for myself whether the Great Song Dynasty in the East is as good as they boast. ”

"Dr. Thomas!" Edward leaned into his chair and looked at Thomas gravely.

"Don't ask too much, it's not a secret that you should know as a doctor."

At this, Edward's face became even more ugly.

"But give up that unrealistic idea, the East is not where we should go!"

"No......" Thomas was stunned.

"Not going to the East?"

You must know that the reason why Edward stayed in Rome and did not return to the West Saxophone with the grain and the reinforcements of the Great Song Dynasty was because the old king longed for the Great Song Dynasty in the East too much, and was ready to go to the East with the madman to have a look.

Look at the prosperous world that he can't imagine, and look at the best Great Song Emperor in the world in the mouth of that madman......

For this reason, the old king even handed over the whole of West Sasacks to Edward II to take care of, and moved the idea of succession.

Not going now?

"Then we ......"

"Alas!" Edward sighed, his tone softened.

"If nothing else, you can sleep in the same warm bed with your wife for a month at most."

“！！！！”

Hearing this, Thomas only felt that his head exploded with a buzz, and blurted out in disbelief:

"Song ...... The Song army was about to abandon Rome!? ”

I saw Edward's eyes staring, "Thomas! I say it again!! ”

"You're just a doctor, you shouldn't know, don't ask!!"

......

——————————

Walking out of Edward's residence in a daze, Thomas's mind was full of "go home", "abandon Rome", and King Edward's look of loss.

Just then, a conversation between the captain of the West Saksax Guards and the guards outside the house caught Thomas's attention.

"From now on, we're going to have some people to take over the patrol on the city walls."

"Captain, isn't the Song army in charge of the city wall? We weren't even allowed to come close. ”

"Just now, the Song army has withdrawn from the city wall."

"Withdrawn? Why is there no movement at all? You must know that those Vulcan cannons are big guys, and it is not easy to get them down from the city wall. ”

"Humph!!" The captain of the guard sneered.

"What's the big guy? Those Vulcan cannons weren't in the city at all, they were in the ship! ”

......

Thomas was startled for a moment, then suddenly woke up and ran towards the city wall.

Sure enough, martial law on the city wall has been lifted, not a single Song army can be seen, and even since the receivers have not yet arrived, Thomas can smoothly ascend to the top of the city.

As far as the eye can see, the sky above the city wall is as empty as a wilderness, how can there be any Vulcan cannon? Standing on the high part of the city wall, you can see the huge ships of the Great Song Dynasty that are leaving the port.

......

Yes, it must be!!

Thomas told himself with great certainty that Da Song had really given up on Rome!!

It turned out that those tight city defenses were all fake, and those Vulcan cannons were not aimed outside the city, but secretly moved to the ship.

The Song people did not want to defend Rome from the beginning, these were just the blind eyes of the madman, his trick to delay the Crusader siege. He wanted Egypt, not Rome, an isolated city.

No, it's not that simple...... Otherwise, King Edward would not have been so disappointed, and he would not have given up the idea of going to the Great Song Dynasty to see it.

The only reason for His Majesty to make this decision can only be that the Great Song Dynasty not only gave up Rome, but also Egypt, the entire Mediterranean, and even the West Sasacks as an ally!

Thinking of this, Thomas couldn't be more sure.

He was glad that the secret message to dissuade the Crusaders from attacking Rome had not been sent, and he was to send a letter to the Crusaders immediately, before the Song army had just withdrawn and the treasures they had left behind had not been robbed by the poor ghosts of Rome......

Capture Rome!

......

————————

It may be that the Song army has made up its mind and has no intention of Rome, but this time, Thomas's letter was sent out of Rome unusually smoothly.

Three days later, when the true state of Rome was in the hands of the Crusaders, the gray-haired old knight was ecstatic.

"Quick!! Attack with all your army and seize Rome! ”

The young man next to him was a little uncertain, "Father, it's better to be careful, that guy Thomas is not very reliable." ”

The old knight glanced at the young man, "Oriel, he's your brother, you should trust him." ”

The young man named Olel couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Just because he is my younger brother, your son, we should know him better." ”

"We've been helping him out since he was a kid, and I really don't believe he can do anything."

When the old knight heard this, there was nothing unusual in his eyes, but he showed a little reminiscence:

The farmlands of the West Saxacles, the wooden houses with the smoke of cooking, the wives in the fur coats, and the two sons who were fighting together......

It took a while for the old knight to come to his senses and smile and say to O'Llaire Levy: "This time Thomas will not be mistaken. ”

"Those Orientals even wanted to deceive all the Romans, and if Thomas hadn't been alert, they would have almost fallen for them."

"Hahaha......" Speaking of this, Old Levy couldn't help laughing.

"Stupid Oriental, how can such a childish trick be hidden from the eyes of God!"

"That's ...... too"

Regarding his father Donald Levy's ridicule of Orientals, O'Levi still agrees.

"When it comes to the strategy of war, how can the Orientals compare with us whites, we are real warriors who have experienced the baptism of war since the time of the Roman Empire!"

"As early as a thousand years ago, we saw through the so-called war tricks. In my opinion, only the corrupt nobles of Rome would fall to the sword of the Orientals. ”

......

"But...," Olaire turned. However, the supplies for the Orthodox Church have not yet arrived. Or do we wait? After the reconquest of Rome, they will not be so happy to give as much as they want. ”

Old Levi smiled coldly, "No need, we have something more valuable in our hands!" ”

"What?"

"Silly son, think about it, if you are a Seljuk, what price are you willing to pay in exchange for the intelligence that the Easterners will also abandon Egypt?"

Ole's eyes lit up, as if he saw a shining gold coin placed in front of him, and hurriedly said: "I'll send someone to Damascus!" ”

......

Yes, Tang Yi just wanted to pit the Crusaders, but the result was ......

Levi's father and son began to help him before he surrendered, and by the way, he also pitted Shah.

......

——————————

At this moment, Tang Yi's 30,000 Yazhou army had already set up an iron bucket array outside the city of Rome, waiting for the crusaders to drill into the encirclement and receive the baptism of artillery fire.

......

Hehe, still war strategy? Still a thousand years ago?

Don't you know that at least before the 11th century, half of all the wars on this earth were fought around the Han Chinese?

Are you more strategic than the fighting people?

Lao Tzu took "The Art of War" and "Thirty-six Strategies" to shoot you to death!!

Let you know to know:

What does it mean to scare the snake and want to catch it!

What is false, what is false, doubtful are suspicious!

What is the sound of striking the east and the west, and the darkness of Chen Cang!

What does it mean to close the door and let the dog go!

What is it called....

Urn, medium, catch, turtle!
