() As mentioned earlier, Saxony ancestors were also very rich. Although they were not as vast as ancient Rome as they were in the bathtub, they would go in and defecate when they had nothing to do, at least they also gained the status of Saxony Elector in the middle of the founding of the Holy Roman Empire. Electors could not be used as any cat or dog. You should know that it was the biggest lord under the Holy Roman Empire. If you don’t have any real skills, you can conquer the place.

Today, Saxony is the size of a palm, but it is still the dragon-crow place of the Saxony Elector back then, so although this sparrow is a little smaller, its internal organs are complete.

The first two are unknown, while the latter is famous all over the world, but the reason why Leipzig is famous is that French dwarfs were defeated by a group of people here. However, this place is not just a battlefield. The Elbe River enters the Baltic Sea in the shape of a bow, and is irrigated by river water. The grain output of the three not only meets the food consumption of the entire Saxony region, but also sells to other German regions, and is also a very good pasture. The Saxony people relied on this place to raise a large wave of ferocious cavalry.

Dresden, the heart of Saxony, was built on the Elbe River. It has been responsible for the markets around the surrounding areas since the 13th century. The amount of money is not ordinary, and the surplus is extraordinary. As far as I know, during the Seven Years War, Frederick the Great used his energy to plunder the Saxony area. Then one-third of the Nai that Saxony was squeezed out became the funds invested by Prussia into the Seven Years War. If only the support of the British and the Prussians paid for it themselves, Frederick the Great would sell out all his underwear.

The Seda Iron Mine where we are located is the industrial foundation of the Saxony region. The dense forest is just a short distance away. The Elbe River is available for transportation in less than half a day. The industrial center of Saxony is not that it has the advantage of time and place. Of course, the premise is that there is no war. Saxony is a very powerful prince in the German region, but this cannot cover up the dilemma of being a small country and not having a strategic depth.

Now, we are going to destroy Saxony's war potential and burn Saxony's ironworks, foundries, and cannon factories in Saida.

It is a pity to burn it, but note that the Saxony region is a place where food is produced, so locals naturally have to eat. When people are full, they will naturally feel full and warm. In this world without condoms, everyone knows what it means after they have fun.

Saxony has a large population. According to Assassin's preliminary estimate, there are at least 500,000 people here. The current Saxony Elector has 17,000 troops, and this army has 14,000 troops to fight, and 3,000 people are scattered throughout the territory, of which 2,000 are stationed in Dresden. If we count based on the maximum conscription force of one ten people now, Saxony Elector can at least pull up an army of more than 50,000 people. We will continue to keep the equipment in the industrial base that can continue to provide guns and cannons for Saxony Elector, which will allow more than 30,000 people to have cannons and guns, so it will be destroyed.

We arrived at Saida at 11 noon and spent an hour defeating the few local garrison troops. I issued an order to collect food and collect ropes, wooden boards, and the longer the better the wooden pillars, but I did not order the camp.

The 33rd Spartan Legion may have participated in many robberies against the Green Cult on the front line, and the speed and movement of the action were so amazing.

Viscount Imas, who came out as a clerk, watched the soldiers enter the streets and alleys with intoxication, then snatched away everything they could and quickly demolished the house. He couldn't help but exclaim: "It's worthy of being us Romans, even robbery has the momentum of a thousand-year empire."

"Oh?" Why didn't I see it?

"Look at the old lady Saxony was so scared that she knelt on the ground at a loss. The children there were so scared that they cried loudly by the momentum of our thousand-year empire. And the few people there simply hugged their heads with their hands and dared not move."

It seems that any army can do this. Imas is really rare and strange.

"Give me my pineapple back!!!"

A scream full of despair made Viscount Imas and I look back instantly, and saw a Saxony woman dragged out of the door by several soldiers in a good villa, and the key item between the two sides was actually a pineapple.

Well, why do you see these things that are treasured as treasures everywhere?

"You can take my food! Take my jewelry, but please leave the pineapple for me. This is just a decoration! A decoration! Oh my!" The Saxon woman shouted hysterically. Obviously, the pineapple that was taken away by the soldiers was a very story-provoking pineapple.

"What's the situation?" I was puzzled, but I couldn't go over and greet the woman kindly.

Asathin, who was knowledgeable, answered me: "In some wealthier places, there are always some vain people who can barely eat three meals. Even if you don't have the ability, you still have to do something that is pretty. I think that the lady should have bought a pineapple from outside for a lot of money, but without heating up, you will appear."

"Well, just a pineapple, let the soldiers throw it back to them."

It took three hours for our Rangers to report that the smoke we made attracted Dresden's attention. The Saxons who were left behind sent a cavalry of more than 40 people to investigate. At this time, we also plundered Saida. Saida is worthy of being the industrial center of Saxony. We were getting a huge amount of shell supplies, gunpowder, lead to make projectiles, and a large amount of wood. Then the next goal was to advance towards Dresden.

Let the hunters go ahead to disperse the cavalry, and we arrived in Dresden in the evening.

After having a hearty dinner with chicken, sheep, and wine, I finally had time to convene a military proposal under the city of Dresden to explain my intentions and the next step.

The lights were lit in the military tent, and the lonely flames were in sharp contrast to the bright lights in Dresden.

Looking at the resolute faces under the flames, I stood in front of the map of Saxony and said, "You all have rich military experience here, so I think you all know my intention to enter Saxony, but in order to make the following combat plan go smoothly, even if you all understand, I still have to repeat it. We are going to join the Prussian friendly forces of the Principal of Anhalt and then take them out of the dilemma of being surrounded on all sides!"

Austria wants to use Otto's hands to destroy or severely damage this army. Because without this army, female literary youths will become their puppets, and for Rome, this is not in our interest. In order not to allow the Austrians to completely control female literary youths, I must rescue Prussia, which has 13,000 people. With these people, we have the capital to bargain with the Austrians!

With the whip pointed at the Principal of Anhalt, I said, "But what blocked us to join the Prussian friendly forces was the Elector of Saxony arranged five thousand troops on the left bank of the Elbe River and nine thousand troops in the Prussian territory led by him on the north bank. If we continue to move forward, the main force led by Elector of Saxony will definitely be able to return to the left bank to reinforce the defensive team as soon as possible if the army on the other side discovers abnormal movements. At that time, less than 14,000 people will fight against us less than 4,000 people, and we will be at an extreme disadvantage. On this plain, it is difficult for four thousand people to defeat 14,000 people, and even if it can be defeated, I do not want to waste the precious life of our Romans! So, next, my plan will revolve around how to cross the Saxony and enter the Principal of Anhalt."

In fact, my plan was very simple, which was to sell a flaw, so that the Elector of Saxony thought he could wipe out us completely, so he mobilized the five thousand people who surrounded the Principal of Anhalt to cooperate with his nine thousand people to go south. The main force was ahead, and the team passed through Saida along the river of the Elbe River, and went around to our rear to block our way.

Now that we have reached Dresden, it is not difficult to let the Saxony Elector know our existence, and it is easier to let the Saxony Elector annihilate us at all costs.

I went out with the hunting cavalry to rob the surroundings and searched for the boats.

The fire of the crops and houses in dense villages near Dresden and the beautiful blue sky of May Germany was enough to make the Saxon Electors do whatever it takes to destroy us.

So what if you break out of the block?

This is not difficult. The camping site I chose was the Sale River, a tributary of the Elbe River. The widest part of this river is only 168 meters. Now the distance between us and the other side is 113 meters. In addition, May is not the season when the Sale River floods, so it is not difficult to build a bridge.

The three thousand army infantry were divided into three, and they carried out shifts to build bridges using ropes, wooden boards, wooden stakes and boats under the cover of night. This bridge was the life-saving thing we had escaped from the sky when the Saxons attacked and escaped from the ascension!

In order to prevent the soldiers from accidentally falling into the water at night, we could not salvage them because it was dark, so I asked them to tie their waists with ropes in groups of five people, and tie the other end of the rope to the wooden stakes. At a speed of 40 meters every night, we could build a pontoon bridge in less than three days.

The pontoon bridge is easy to build, but it is difficult to hide. The search is that the Sale River is not very deep. It is 30 meters away from the shore. Just lay three-meter-deep wooden stakes and hide the wooden boards under the water. There is no problem when you want to use them. So after laying the wooden stakes and setting up wooden boards on both sides of the shore, I used a small boat to replace the wooden stakes. Every ten meters there are a small boat, four pontoon bridges and fifty meters, and there are only twenty in total. This is not difficult to find along the Sale River. It is just transported back at night. Now the boat is equipped with wooden boards and

It was placed in the middle of the river at night to set up, and then pulled it back at dawn, and practiced at the same time. The so-called practice makes perfect, and it can only be reduced when it is really necessary to use it. However, some artillery of the 33rd Spartan Legion is heavier, and the carrying capacity of the pontoon bridge is limited. In order to avoid falling into the hands of the Saxons, after experimenting with a twelve-pound cannon, such as a heavy cargo, I buried four twelve-pound cannons on the spot. Anyway, when I come back in the future, I can still dig it out. Moreover, the twelve-pound cannon is extremely bulky and is really not suitable for the next march.

After doing all this, all I have to do is wait.
