Li Er also never expected that his well-planned overseas strategy would be targeted by the Romans...
To be manipulated like this is simply too polite. No, it is an insult to military ethics.
But the matter has reached this point, and he can only act quickly and send a large number of imperial troops to Africa by sea.
This matter is obviously not an easy matter, but Li Er estimates that even if the Roman legion's information is wrong, the total strength of the Forbidden Army under his command should not exceed 10,000 - it is impossible to reach 20,000 anyway.
above.
Africa was a strange place to the Tang Dynasty, but it was also not easy to travel to for the Romans.
Although these idiots say they have a province in Africa and have been exploring it for a long time, they want to go further south, hehe...
Without repaired roads, it is definitely not easy for a large number of troops to pass by. What's more, once the army itself has passed, what about the food? So at this time, Li Er's good military qualities still came into play, and his mentality was very stable.
but……
This time, just when everyone thought the problem could still be solved, the situation on the African front was quite tense.
…
Qin Ruochan chewed the dry food in her hand one mouthful at a time, with the words "like facing a formidable enemy" written all over her face.
Of course, if you are facing a powerful enemy, you are facing a powerful enemy. Your reinforcements this time are meant to be "faced with a powerful enemy".
Because he had participated in the war to exterminate the Turks, Qin Ruochan's military achievements were of course not as good as those of Li Sheng, but overall his performance was good, and Li Xiaogong's evaluation was quite high, and because he was in charge of the Jinwu Guards, he was equivalent to being under Li Sheng's command... This is naturally more
Let her be taken seriously, so the important responsibility this time just falls on her.
Qin Ruochan's confidence is still very high, the Romans...
She also has a certain understanding, but so what?
If this group of people is as the legend says, they cannot simply be understood at the level of ordinary nomadic barbarians. But then again, just because the Romans are more powerful than ordinary nomadic tribes does not mean that they are truly invincible. The Romans are also human beings.
, marching outside is also torture, and from the Roman territory "Mediterranean" to southern Africa...
Qin Ruochan was no show-off, she could also study maps, and her military talent that stood out from the imperial military examination was no joke. Of course, she knew that the Romans, like the Tang Dynasty, were also going on an expedition.
Everyone is working hard on the expedition, who is afraid of whom?
Therefore, Qin Ruochan expected that after the first wave of encirclement by the Romans, they would most likely be unable to succeed.
As for my own side... the person currently taking the lead in resisting the Romans and guarding the camp is a woman, but with military exploits outside the town, she is not an ordinary person.
The most important thing is, inexplicably...
Although she had not been in contact with that person for a long time, because this woman was sent by the West Lake Industrial Zone, she still investigated it...
Then I also learned that this woman was born in Persia, a martial land that has always advocated horseback riding and fighting.
And this woman is still a member of the clan, with an extraordinary status... Her performance in the distant places of the subcontinent is also remarkable, so Qin Ruochan is quite confident.
But on the first day after arriving, something happened.
The Romans' preparations were more thorough than the Tang Dynasty imagined. That night, they launched a surprise attack and set fire to half of the Tang Dynasty's ships!
…
When such changes occurred, Qin Ruochan immediately...
The first thing I felt was four words, cardiopulmonary arrest...
She immediately remembered that the Tang Dynasty had been doing well overseas recently, whether it was the imperial army or the maritime merchants, and a big "legend" was that the ships driven by the Tang Dynasty, whether it was the imperial army or the maritime merchants, were all going smoothly.
It is extremely powerful, as fast as a ghost on the sea, and invincible in battle.
Relying on the powerful sea ships and supporting the landing infantry, even the battle on land was unfavorable!
Of course, it would be an exaggeration to say that everything is invincible. Qin Ruochan is qualified to read a large number of real battle cases, and she also knows that the Tang Dynasty's imperial army and maritime merchants... and even the pirates also suffered a lot of losses outside.
But in general, because the sea ships are extremely powerful, the people of the Tang Dynasty, whether official or private, can easily extend their tentacles overseas, and as long as they fight around the coastline...
As long as it was a battle around the coastline, the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty and the restless merchants were truly invincible, and their winning rate was quite high.
And this situation at this moment...
The girl who was sitting in command with him was very calm and could not see much emotion, but Qin Ruochan immediately remembered the reputation of the various people from the Tang Dynasty who were crisscrossing the sea, all related to ships.
So at this moment...
The other party's intention is also very obvious, which is to restrict the people of Tang Dynasty from taking advantage of the power of sea ships.
And unfortunately...
Qin Ruochan only regretted that she was not more careful. Although she kept a lot of people on the ship to keep an eye on her, and since it was her first time to go to sea, she still left a lot of people to reinforce the unfavorable battle, but she still missed the calculation that the other party was specifically targeting the ship itself.
The situation of starting...
"This... ugh!"
Qin Ruochan sighed angrily, then looked at the people aside with shame, "This time is really..."
"Forget it, General, what's happened now, what's the use of blaming ourselves anymore?"
Asmin looked at Qin Ruochan very formally and seriously at this moment and shook her head, "You and I didn't expect this, so we are both responsible... Besides, things always happen suddenly, who can predict so much, it is urgent, I will wait
It’s better to think about what to do now!”
Qin Ruochan took a deep breath and nodded.
What made both of them feel inexplicably reassured was that they were not familiar with each other at the beginning. Seeing each other as a beautiful woman dealing with such a complex problem and serious situation, they both instinctively felt a little uneasy. But at this moment, something dangerous suddenly happened, and the other party's
The reaction was quite reasonable and there was no crotch pulling or anything like that.
The two looked at each other and nodded, then moved quickly, commanding their men to take small boats and move quickly, "surrounding" half of the remaining ships...
Fortunately, if this situation continued, perhaps because of his decisive action and quicker response than expected, the opponent then retreated in his own ship and left.
However, the problem still occurred the next day.
On top of the watchtower, Qin Ruochan frowned and looked at the wild land outside the camp.
This wild land once only had various rare beasts running rampant, and even more wild black-skinned savages, but now it is full of well-organized Roman legions stationed...
