After all, Xiao Yu was originally from the Five Surnames and Qi Wangs, and counting from the Five Surnames to Qi Wang, they were the Sui Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties... in short, various pillar states in the great dynasties in the troubled times.
Although almost all of these people have now turned to the scholar, Qingliu, or celebrity route to stabilize their family status, there are still many martial arts and military skills passed down from their ancestors.
In terms of martial arts, basically no one in these big families practices it, but the military books are different, there are still people who read them, and they all have a certain strategic vision.
In short, Xiao Yu felt something was wrong as soon as he saw the situation, so he quickly sent people in all directions to start investigating, and contacted various maritime merchants to follow up on the news in Africa at any time.
Because Xiao Yu learned the news in Lingnan at that time, he was so disturbed that he went directly to Banjaluo City in the subcontinent overnight to observe the situation.
So there is a situation where Xiao Yu appears here at this moment.
Xiao Yu calculated the time...
"It must have been more than half a month... It's been two decades and the results haven't come out yet?"
Xiao Yu frowned and walked around the room like a locked up wild cat.
Twenty days.
Twenty days had passed since he knew that Asmin had landed in Africa.
This time is not short. If there is any news, it should be delivered in ten and a half months...
Why is there no news yet?
The more Xiao Yu kept confirming the current time and calculating the time it would take for the ship to carry the news, the more time seemed to have passed... Subconsciously in his heart, there were constant thoughts of "the whole army was wiped out" and "one was not killed".
Words like "leftover" appeared, and even after they were suppressed, they kept popping up, surging endlessly...
But that night, Xiao Yu really got the news...
The moment he got the news, he felt like he was about to leave his body.
Rome mobilized a large number of troops into southern Africa, and the imperial guards of the Tang Dynasty noticed that there were "African native tribes" with obviously different skin colors nearby. Look at the armor, weapons, and skin color...
No matter how you look at it, there is no way it is really a local tribe. Xiao Yu can clearly see this kind of thing from thousands of miles away.
But Xiao Yu didn't dare to take it lightly, because "pretending to look different" is not the point at all!
The key point is that firstly, the other party has gathered a large number of troops, and secondly, since the other party has put on such an exaggerated disguise, it is obviously not to pretend to be an African native - to gather intelligence or something, but to avoid some "nominal" problems.
Since it is a nominal issue, it goes without saying that the real purpose is for military operations.
And the news Xiao Yu got...
Indeed, it was the "local tribes" who took action against the Forbidden Army!
And this is not the point, the point is...
The Forbidden Army defeated the invading enemy at first, with extremely fierce momentum, but then encountered more and larger Roman legions during the pursuit...
At this point, things suddenly went wrong. The Forbidden Army suffered heavy losses and the camp was directly breached!
Now the African imperial army has been defeated!
Fortunately, Asmin, her adopted daughter, is so talented in military affairs that she actually laid out a large number of trap areas, ditches, and wooden thorns for several acres like crops. With these special "crops", Asmin actually managed to survive.
Inhabited by Roman legions...
But after that, the situation was still extremely serious, because after all, the opponent came prepared, and the entire encirclement situation did not disappear!
Asmin was still lucky to be able to hold on, because the fleet was going to sea, which was different from land, and the food it carried was very sufficient, and Africa, which had abundant rain, had no worries about drinking water. However, it was obvious that this was not a long-term solution...
After all, the Forbidden Army is not a vegetarian. Although it suffered from insufficient intelligence this time due to the distance of thousands of miles, after the collapse, it was quickly reorganized by a group of captains into several groups of soldiers and horses, and they were fighting against the trapped animals in an attempt to rescue them.
Asmin's camp.
But when Xiao Yu heard the news, he almost lost his soul, because it was obvious that people had anticipated these situations... There is really a question mark as to how effective these methods can be.
The only thing that made Xiao Yu feel calmer was that although the imperial court was lagging behind in news, it was only lagging behind, and it was by no means a blind man riding a blind horse - an additional large group of forbidden troops were soon sent over. This
The time point was many days before Xiao Yu received information about the war situation, only two or three days later than when the incident occurred.
In other words...
What can make Xiao Yu feel at ease now is that he hopes that his adopted daughter can support him for two or three days...
After all, Xiao Yu now understands that Qi Wang, the fifth surname, has been completely put on the court's "blacklist". It is almost impossible to gain influence in the court again, and her adopted daughter is the last chance.
.
Two or three days of work...
Based on what he knew about the situation when Mangbaicheng was founded, Xiao Yu felt that it might not be impossible. It should even be said that since Asmin was prepared in advance, there was a high probability that she could survive it... Wait until the Tang Dynasty.
reinforcements arrived.
But apart from this, there is another issue that also worries Xiao Yu extremely.
Since the Romans came deliberately, then... the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty could not have been expected and planned.
The Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty want to go there by boat... I'm afraid this journey won't be smooth.
Xiao Yu was worried.
However, a few days later, Xiao Yu finally received new news. The Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty had indeed successfully arrived at Hangwan Island in Africa, and a war began...
The merchants who brought the news also ran away all the way.
But Xiao Yu is not very happy, because the result is still unknown!...
…
But he said that Li Er sent the imperial army to prepare for the invasion of Africa.
Not long after the imperial army set off, Li Er received news that the Romans were sending more troops to Africa, and at the same time, they were suspected of marching into southern Africa.
This is not beyond Li Er's expectation. Regarding this situation...
Li Er just sneered. Since the Tang Dynasty noticed his actions, the Roman legions would not be able to accomplish anything.
My Li Er's imperial army is not in vain!
What's more, after receiving the news this time, he not only knew the movements of the Romans, but also obtained the information about the size of the Roman army's reinforcements.
This made Li Er laugh even more. This Roman was simply playing with snake skin.
But within a few days, Li Er received new news. The size of the Roman army was actually much larger than what had been previously detected...
This time, Li Erzheng was shocked. He immediately secretly exclaimed that something was wrong and sent troops overnight to continue to Africa for reinforcements!
