Chapter 285 The War Between the Two Armies Begins
Old Sharon looked at the rapidly retreating field outside the carriage, and said slowly to Schwab:
"I know you don't understand why I called you back from the Imperial Army, making all your previous efforts in the army in vain.
But among all my children, only you can support this family, I can't let you die in the hands of those Orientals for nothing! "
Stopping what Schwab wanted to say again, Sha Long stared at his favorite little son with red eyes and said:
"Schwab, my son, it's not that the father has become less timid, but that after so many years of fighting everywhere.
I have understood that sometimes soldiers die because of the incompetence of the commander. I don't want my child to die in vain because of the incompetence of the commander! "
In a moment of silence, Shalong's huge motorcade gradually moved away and disappeared on the horizon.
At the same time, Qin Tu had already sent half of the commission he had snatched to Constantinople, and combined it with the goods that Lin was searching here, and transported it to the other side of the strait and sent it to Xiao Qi's location behind.
After sending troops to send the goods away, Lin Zheng discussed with Qin Tu whether to completely occupy the Byzantine Empire first or conquer the Holy Roman Empire first.
Qin Tu suggested attacking the Holy Roman Empire directly, because Byzantium had already wiped out hundreds of thousands of troops in previous battles and this attack by the Ever Victorious Battalion.
Basically, the Byzantine Empire has been crippled, and it is impossible to make any more waves.
But the Holy Roman Empire was dishonest. From the fact that they sent [-] soldiers to try to deal with the Ever-Victorious Battalion and demanded high commissions from Byzantium, they knew that this country wanted to take advantage of it and had to beat it honestly.
Lin Zheng also very much agreed with Qin Tu's suggestion. For so many years, Changsheng Ying had been going around to gain benefits, and now someone not only used Chang Sheng Ying to gain benefits, but also wanted to deal with them. How could Chang Sheng Ying keep him from getting angry.
The two guys studied it carefully and determined that Byzantium had been crippled, and the few remaining organized troops in their army had all fled to the border area.
Now, let alone taking the initiative to fight with the Changsheng Battalion, even if they heard that the Orientals were coming towards them, they would immediately run away in the other direction without looking back. It is impossible for such an army to cause any damage to the logistics of the Changsheng Battalion. threaten.
Lin Zheng and Qin Tu have obtained maps of these two empires along the way. After putting together a complete set of European maps for Xiao Qi, and sending them to Xiao Qi together with the treasures, they also pieced together the maps of the two empires. A set of European maps comes.
The two murmured and studied together for a day, and they worked out a route to attack the Holy Roman Empire, and marked them on their maps.
Because Qin Tu had already led troops into the Holy Roman Empire and knew everything about them better, the two decided that Qin Tu would lead the [-] Changsheng Battalion cavalry to attack.
In addition, I brought 2000 infantry, [-] small trebuchets, [-] soldiers responsible for logistics transportation, and the best [-] horse-drawn carriages from the captured carriages, pulling ammunition, food and grass, and using the horse-drawn horses that my son-in-law has been talking about. Blitzkrieg on the sidelines, quickly attacking the Holy Roman Empire.
Lin Zheng led more than 1000 new cavalry troops riding on captured war horses, and [-] infantry troops followed Qin Tu closely, occupied all the places that Qin Tu took, and ensured that Qin Tu's logistics supplies would not be a problem.
As for Constantinople and other cities, they will be guarded by [-] reinforcements sent by Prince Consort Xiao Qi.
The son-in-law has already said in the letter that Long Yongsheng is continuously transporting reinforcements from the Changsheng Battalion from the Great Song Dynasty. This makes the two of them have no worries at all, and they can just charge forward boldly with confidence.
After spending a day loading all the sufficient ammunition and food onto the [-] selected carriages, Qin Tu led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry early the next morning and once again attacked the Holy Roman Empire. .
At this time, Carolin had just been appointed as the marshal of the empire. This bastard who wanted to show his military talent in front of everyone, ordered all the troops of the empire to gather in the border areas of the Holy Roman Empire before Qin Tu.
It’s not that Caroline guessed that those Easterners would attack the empire from there again. He thought that those Easterners just came to snatch the commissions. Now that they have snatched the commissions and got them back, those Easterners must be busy dividing up the spoils now. .
Carolingian thought that those Orientals, like them, had money in their pockets and would immediately go around for fun.
He intends to lead the army to kill those Orientals when their defenses are lax, and teach those Orientals a hard lesson.
We must let those Easterners know that the Holy Roman Empire is not easy to provoke. If you provoke our great Holy Roman Empire, the consequence will be that you will be shivering in the dark hiding place when you hear the name of our imperial army in the future!
While Carolin secretly recited in his heart, the plots of the protagonists in the knight novels he had read before, he hypnotized himself that he would soon be the new God of War of the empire.
As for the old Empire God of War Sharon, the garbage dump of history is his place to go. In the future, the great Holy Roman Empire will usher in the era of my new God of War Carolingian!
Frederick I lived very proudly during this time.
Those imperial generals who were not very obedient in the past, because they lost the blessing of their old marshal Sharon, were afraid that they would be replaced from the current vacancies, and rushed into the imperial palace one by one to swear allegiance to Frederick I.
This feeling is really good. Frederick I felt that all his previous efforts were wrong. Why did he foolishly use high-ranking officials and generous salaries to win over these noble generals, just take his position and exchange for obedient ones? .
In fact, he forgot that there was Grand Duke Shalong, Marshal of the Empire before, and he had to obtain the consent of the god of war who was most respected by soldiers in the entire imperial army for the appointment and dismissal of the generals of the empire.
Otherwise, he would not be able to intervene in the appointment or dismissal of any general in the army. It would not be impossible if he forced himself as the king of the empire to order which general to replace.
But if you did that without the consent of Grand Duke Shalong, you could replace the original general with your favorite general, but those soldiers would not care about the new general, it was no different from sending a polished commander.
Now Frederick I suddenly felt that the current empire truly belonged to him.
This feeling of being like a god, every decision you make, will be thoroughly implemented is really wonderful.
Just when members of the royal family of the Holy Roman Empire, Frederick I and Carolingian, were immersed in this unprecedented success.
Suddenly, I got bad news from the fast horse on the frontier, saying that I found that the army of the orientals had already marched towards the empire. This time, not only were there more people but also faster, it is estimated that the orientals had already reached the border of the empire by this time!
This sudden situation shocked all members of the imperial royal family who were celebrating the victory. They looked at Frederick I in horror, hoping that the shrewd ruler of the empire could give a piece of news that would reassure everyone.
At this time, Frederick I began to regret in his heart. He should not have agreed with Grand Duke Sharon to resign as Marshal of the Empire before leaving.
How much Carolin weighed, he, the uncle who is the king of the empire, still knows very well.
That is a bottle full of dissatisfaction, and half of the bottle is rattling. It is because of the royal blood that people are touting it.
What made Frederick I most dissatisfied with Carolingian was that no one else believed these flattering words, but Carolin himself believed it!
Even if there is another person in the royal family who has similar abilities to Carolin, but is more self-aware than Carolin, the entire royal family will immediately abandon Carolin and pour all resources into that person.
But it is useless to regret now, the army of the Orientals has already called, maybe they are already fighting with the army of their own empire on the border.
Frederick I forced himself to calm down, and looked at the members of the royal family and the ministers who were having a banquet in the palace garden with a calm face.
"Everyone, everyone! I think you all heard a few days ago, our acting marshal, my dear nephew Caroline!
The army of the entire empire has been ordered, except for the troops maintaining law and order in major towns, to gather at the border.
At the beginning, many people came to me and wanted me to persuade the Carolingians not to do that, because many people felt that the Carolingian marshal made a mistake in his judgment.
Now everyone can see that our new marshal has long judged that the Orientals may invade us again, and has already made preparations to deal with it.
Let us now drink to the young field marshal, my dear nephew Carolingian, who has kept us safe! "
The members of the royal family and the ministers below were all stunned when they heard what Frederick I said. It really happened. Back then, he privately scolded Caroline for wasting military expenditures from the treasury and wasting money.
Have we all seen it wrong before?
Is this Carolin really the most promising existence to succeed Grand Duke Sharon and become the new god of war in the empire?
Soon the few members of the royal family who were the first to react raised their glasses and shouted together: "I wish our new marshal a successful start!"
Immediately, many ministers at the banquet also came back to their senses, and raised their glasses to compliment the Carolingian Marshal who had been slandered by them all the time and was only slightly better than a dandy.
After seeing the members of the royal family at the banquet and those noble ministers temporarily fooled by him, Frederick I pretended to be calm and had a few drinks with everyone, and then said that he was too weak to drink and needed to go back to rest.
After returning to his inner court, Frederick I waved back the guards and sat there blankly, wondering if his nephew could block the attack of these Easterners this time.
Although he told everyone outside, it was his nephew who judged that the Orientals might invade the empire again, so he ordered all the troops of the empire to gather at the border.
But only he knew what was going on.
That day, my nephew, who had just been awarded the acting marshal of the empire by himself, ran to his palace and told his uncle excitedly, saying that he felt that those orientals had robbed a lot of money, and now he must be dreaming and dying with that money.
Now is the best chance for revenge, and he, the newly appointed acting marshal, is still not convinced. He must lead the imperial army to win a big victory before he can completely establish his position in the army.
Frederick I was moved by his last sentence, that is, let someone in the royal family establish a stable position in the army, and let the soldiers in the army know that the imperial royal family has no shortage of people who can lead the army to victory.
For this reason, Frederick I agreed to Carolingian's sergeant transfer, and personally issued an order for the armies of the various kingdoms under the empire to obey the orders of the acting marshal Carolingian.
Otherwise, how could he, a brat who had just been appointed acting marshal, mobilize all the troops in the entire empire.
It is very clear that Carolingian's mobilization of troops to the border this time was a blind cat and a dead mouse. It was simply luck that allowed him to deploy a large number of imperial troops there in advance.
Although only half of the entire empire's army has been mobilized there, the remaining army is still on the way.
However, Frederick I still felt that there were nearly 20 imperial troops there. Even if the Carolingian straw bag could not defeat those Easterners, it should be no problem to block the Easterners' attack.
As long as they block the Easterners' attack and buy time for the other half of the imperial army that is already on the road to get there, when all the 40 troops of the entire empire arrive, there will be no suspense in defeating the Easterners.
Frederick I was extremely anxious, and he was the only one in the entire empire who knew how outrageous this coincidence was.
The king, who had just enjoyed complete control of the empire, stayed up all night anxiously, praying in his heart that nothing would happen to Carolin.
Different from Frederick I's anxiety, Qin Tu led [-] cavalry troops to the border between the two countries, and also received news that the Holy Roman Empire had stationed a large number of troops on their border.
This news made Qin Tu extremely happy, and he immediately sent a man and two horses to report to Lin Zheng, asking him to lead the infantry to come quickly, because soon a large number of prisoners would be handed over to his care.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Tu ordered [-] cavalry troops to set up camp fifty miles away from the enemy's camp, waiting for the horse-drawn carriages that transported the trebuchet and ammunition to arrive.
After receiving the report from the scouts that the Holy Roman Empire had sent a large number of troops to the border, Qin Tu sent out all the scouts under him.
The purpose, of course, is to cut off the Holy Roman Empire army, and all the passages on its side, absolutely not allowing anyone who sees his army to go back there to report.
Not long after, the [-] infantry troops and [-] convoys carrying trebuchets, ammunition and food and grass arrived from behind. Qin Tu ordered all the soldiers to rest quickly, and the Huotou Army immediately buried the pot and made rice.
Two hours later, the [-] troops who had rested and had enough to eat and drink took advantage of the night to move towards the barracks of the Holy Roman Empire army.
