() The roaring old Duke Bringas should be referring to the fact that I let those military men roam around with the noble ladies of Constantinople. Think about it, what have I done recently, seducing a widow and wife?

, messing around with a group of aristocratic ladies, and then, it’s nothing.

The silent old scumbag, the furious old Duke Bringas, who hates iron but cannot be transformed into steel. Looking at those two enthusiastic Romans, I felt ashamed for the first time.

"I'm sorry, old Duke, I think I'll bear all the blame for my recent laxity."

The old Duke of Bringas angrily dismissed us at the cemetery and asked us to go back and reflect.

More than thirty of us gathered at the door of a small country hotel, looking up at the stars, and the atmosphere was depressing.

"Will it be a tough battle to go north this time?" Morris leaned against the goalpost and asked.

Constans said: "The climate is our enemy. The long supply lines make us more vulnerable to attacks. Moreover, the Russians are all very tall, almost all of them are over 1.8 meters tall."

"The most important thing is that the Russian marshals should not be underestimated."

The Russian marshals are no ordinary people. It is no wonder that the older generation of imperial nobles are worried.

Peter Lacy, a Russian nobleman, participated in a total of 25 battles, 9 battles and 12 sieges, a total of 46 wars, with 31 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses.

Field Marshal Burkhard Christoph von Marnick, who was of German origin but served in Russia, often cooperated with Peter in battles. He is as famous as Field Marshal Peter. 17 of Peter's 31 victories were with him.

Cooperation, Burkhard was not present in all eight losses.

Alexey Orlov is a survivor of the Rurik dynasty of Kiev. Although his family background is not comparable to that of the Dolgorukov family, the Repnin family and the Gorchakov family, he is still a

The Russian Queen's lover has the highest status. As Elizabeth's most trusted field marshal, he participated in the Polish Royal War. His main opponents were scattered Polish nobles. His record was not as brilliant as the above two marshals, but he was still a victorious general.

.

Vasily Vladimirovich Dolgoruky, a member of the Dolgoruky family, an important minister of the Kingdom of Russia, was exiled twice and was promoted twice. He is now the supporter of the Queen of Russia. He is not only used to playing tricks

A man of power and a veteran on the battlefield, the history of the rise of the Russians is the history of this veteran in the military. He has fought a total of 58 wars, 27 wins, 22 draws, and 9 losses. He has served as the back-up general many times.

A heavyweight in the empire, Maurice and his grandfather Svitoias were more than ten years older than Vasily, and his achievements were of course more brilliant. The Russian marshal and generals had not destroyed a single country, but he destroyed three.

A sultanate. But the old Duke of Bringas is already so old, not to mention the bravery of a good man.

The war has not yet begun, and the prospects for the empire are not very promising.

A few days later, the military department announced the news. It turned out that the old Duke Bringas was appointed as the governor of the Imperial Slavic Front, and the subsequent arrangements of the old Duke Bringas proved that my idea was correct.

In view of the vastness of the Eastern European plains, the empire's main force against the Russians, including the three legions stationed in the Black Sea coastal corridor, will have fifteen legions, with a total of 96,000 people. One legion will be stationed in the corridor, and fourteen legions will be stationed in the corridor.

The land of the plains of Upper Eastern Europe.

The first echelon, the Imperial Legion of the Kiev Front Army, consists of the following five legions: the Second Byzantine Legion, the Third Spartan Legion, the Tenth Spartan Legion, the Fifth Reinstein Legion, and the Eighth Mog

Legion of Lenny…

I'm speechless about my ex, Mograine. Anyone who has played World of Warcraft should have heard of the classic dialogue "Resurrection, my warrior" in the Blood Monastery. This is what I said to a guy called

"Mograine

"The tragedy... What makes people's minds even more confused is that any legion named after Mograine is inseparable from a legion motto similar to "Resurrection, my warrior". Like the Eighth Mograine Legion

It means "Phoenix Nirvana, I have been reborn".

Is there any reality worse than this?

Yes, the Roman Empire’s high-level military rank system from the mid-13th century to the 15th century was actually a replica or modified version of the tribes in World of Warcraft! Grand Overseer, Overseer, Lieutenant General, General, Senior Legion Commander, Junior Legion

Commander, legion centurion, legion centurion, honorary titles include, double-headed eagle guard, blood guard, imperial court guard.

Although the military reform in the mid-fifteenth century modified some outdated military ranks, military ranks such as warlord and legion commander still remained. For example, the honorary title of high-ranking warden that the old scumbag was awarded when he died is an example, and legion commander

This position evolved from the imperial military system and was similar to that of a division commander.

Then the old Duke Bringas summoned the main generals of the first echelon of the front army. At the meeting, his request was that regardless of whether the five legions were present or not, once we arrived in Odessa, if the strength was more than two legions, we would

Head north immediately.

The three legions originally in the coastal corridor have taken over the local area, and we can move forward with confidence. If the legion heading north encounters a considerable enemy force, it is best not to launch any attack easily, cut off their supply lines, and force the enemy back.

.If you encounter a large number of enemy troops,

Then all the legions participating in this attack must conserve their strength to deal with the enemy, and retreat to the solid fortifications if that is not possible. But if they do not encounter any enemy troops, which is of course the most likely thing to happen, besiege Kiev and send chasseurs to plunder the troops behind Kiev.

Russian territory.

Before everyone left the meeting building, the old Duke of Bringas stood at the door and said to every nobleman who passed by: "Fight for Rome."

"My glory."

When it was my turn, the old Duke tightened his palms.

Orders are conveyed and then executed immediately.

The big ship heading to the imperial port of Odessa was waiting for us early. I wanted to say goodbye to Wen Dier, but I was told that my wife had actually left Constantinople before me. I was really puzzled.

When I left, the pier was full of beautiful ladies and noble ladies, and the cheap daddy took the time to come and see me off.

There were a lot of people accompanying me this time, including the eighty-man bodyguard assigned to me by Cheap Daddy, and his son Leon, the captain of the bodyguard, was transferred to me as the leader of the bodyguard.

The old heavy-carrying karak can carry many more people than this.

Valens, along with hundreds of trainees from the West Point Military Academy in Constantinople, Valens's father, Marquis Orion of Dzimischia, and a group of more than thirty imperial nobles took them with them

With so many people walking on the deck, we didn’t feel crowded. But our mounts had to be transported by two other large ships. After all, no one wanted the whole ship to stink.

Valens's father, Orion Tzimischia, as the highest-ranking nobleman in the entire entourage, he is the commander of our first echelon.

Uncle Tzimischia has a similar friendship with me and Valens, and is my cheap dad’s playmate. When he was young, when he followed my cheap dad to Damascus, he worked as a war officer, in charge of

It's military law. Later, he served as the governor of the Aleppo defense zone for several years. During his tenure, he was famous for his indifference. It is said that Valens's mother had a blind date with me for the first time. When she got home, she asked her family if Valens and I would do it.

No

They would bring people to the house and ransack the house to kill him. Valens and his grandfather were so angry that they brought their own soldiers and bodyguards to the old man's house to find out what was going on. Then, Valens's mother was in tragedy, but Valens's father stood still.

He came out to help share most of the faults, and in the end the two of them became a family after flirting with each other. Therefore, although Mr. Valens and Uncle Tzimiszia often have a stern face, he is actually a cold-faced and warm-hearted person.

people.

On the night of the fourth day at sea, the Black Sea breeze was gentle. After dinner, everyone went for a walk on the deck. At this time, Marquis Tzimiszia arrived at the cabin where I was.

As the elder of the Theofano family, he asked me about my situation and how I felt about going to the battlefield.

I am a little nervous and a little scared, but more importantly, I have endured so much hardship and am finally able to show off what I have learned. I am impatient and excited. But I have to shout for Rome like a native Roman.

Fight, I think I can't do it yet, because I still remember that I come from another country as old as Rome. But I will not back down, because as a time traveler, I want to prove that I am not much worse than my predecessor!

"Who do you think the Russians will send as commander-in-chief this time, your highness?" Uncle Tsimischia casually turned the topic to the war situation.

Test me?

This is not a problem.

"The commander-in-chief of the army controls the fate of the battle. No matter how good the soldiers are with the best equipment, they cannot win if they are paired with an idiot. Therefore, I don't think Elizabeth of Russia will send all her lovers to do it."

I narrowed down the scope, and there were only a few Russian generals with names.

"Peter Lacy, Burkhard Christoph von Manik, Vasily Vladimirovich Dolgoruky. The combination of Peter and Burkhard proved to be a great match for many Russians.

The most effective combination among generals. If we don't go to war on the Black Sea coast, we are very likely to encounter these two people."

Uncle Tzimiszia smiled and said: "Your Highness, you mean that we will not run into these two people?"

"Yes, Burkhard is a German. He is not familiar with the south of the Eastern European Plain at all. It would be better to keep him in the north than to send him down. You know, he has always won more wars against the Swedes.

If they lose less, they can act as a deterrent to the Swedes there. Even if they want to start a war, they have to worry about Burkhard's existence. Since Burkhard cannot come, the role of Peter going south will be greatly reduced.

The battle in Sweden proves that this guy is either

If you win, you will be happy, but if you lose, you will be exhausted. And as a newly rising military upstart, he has always been jealous of the old man Vasily, who is afraid that the former will one day replace his position. Since Peter

If you can't be a partner with Burkhard, you can't match him with Vasily. Not only do they have disagreements in the court, but they also have their own opinions on command. It's hard to guarantee that there will be no differences.

Everyone does his or her own thing, causing the war to collapse."

Uncle Tzimiszia narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It sounds like Vasily will be the commander-in-chief of this Russian expedition to the south."

"Vasily Vladimirovich Dolgoruky, he was born in the prominent Dolgoruky family. Before the Mongols came, the blood of this family was spread throughout the principalities of Russia in the Eastern European plains. Over the centuries, those

The Principality of Rus was destroyed, but there are still many survivors. It can be said that Vasily is here

He is still very popular in the land. He is the local leader here. He has the advantage over Peter and Burkhard. In addition, he has many battles of cutting off the rear and forcing the enemy to a draw, even if he cannot defeat them.

If you win, you won't lose too badly, and more importantly, even if Vasily loses, it will be good for the Russians!"

There is a hidden plot that benefits even if you lose, and only Russia in the world can trigger it.

Why?

Before Elizabeth became queen of Russia, she was still a nun in a monastery. She had no foundation at all in the country. Later, she relied entirely on domestic powerful officials to seize power. Vasily was not only a powerful official among the powerful officials, but also helped Elizabeth come to power in one fell swoop.

Although there was no sign of rebellion in Vasily, his power was too great. If Vasily was defeated, this would be a good opportunity for Elizabeth to kick away the Russian nobles who were restraining her.

"His Highness's ideas coincide with those of the Governor." Uncle Zhimiszia gave me a favorable comment before leaving.

At noon on the fifth day, in early October, we arrived at the Imperial Port, Odessa.

War, here I come!
Chapter completed!
