Zhan Mingbai was worried, but it was still a real imperial edict. The group of people kept changing horses and galloped all the way. The next afternoon, he arrived in Tokyo. When the palace gate fell outside, an eunuch immediately greeted him: "Master Ou, the emperor ordered our family to wait outside the palace. When he saw Master Ou, he immediately led him to see the emperor." Ouyang asked while walking, "What's the matter, father-in-law?" "Major event." The eunuch said: "Northwest major event. General Han's 40,000 imperial guards faced a 150,000 enemy. The specific situation

Our family doesn't know. We only know that General Han's 800-mile rush is to urgently transfer Lord Ou to the northwest to deal with this matter immediately. "Eight hundred miles is to run 800 miles a day. Changing horses or not is the highest standard. In fact, the highest was five hundred miles a day at that time. Han Shizhong has never been a high-profile person. Could it be that the 800-mile rush is really a conflict with the Crusaders? You must know that the 800-mile rush is to give in, regardless of the rank of officials.

Ouyang was not too anxious. It was useless to be anxious about such a long time. It is hard to say that the battle has been completed now. When he arrived in the hall, Zhao Yu was not polite. When he talked about the matter, he was indeed a crusader.

After receiving the report from Zhanglan's headquarters, Han Shizhong immediately set up his army and issued an emergency report to Song. Then he swept away the small crusades, viscounts, etc. on the road. It was not until he was close to Constantinople and was intercepted by the large crusades, and then he went out to speed up. He asked the court to send Ouyang to the army to deal with the matter immediately. The court collected the urgent report first, but the efficiency was not reduced, and was planning the preparations for the Northwest Army. But he didn't expect that things were so bad. A team of Song merchants were surrounded for twenty days, and the main force was facing the enemy troops. Once the fire was exchanged, it would be a matter of death. As soon as Zhao Yu received the report, he saw Han Shizhong's personal call Ouyang and immediately issued an imperial edict to sign Ouyang as the imperial envoy to let him enter the capital. To be honest, Zhao Yu had no idea what was going on in the front line.

Ouyang saw the place name and probably understood what was going on. The basic meaning was that it was in Christian strife, and Zhanglan happened to be in the fun. Zhanglan was still alive for twenty days, which meant that his vitality was tenacious, and the other was that the Crusaders were a little guilty. Judging from the current equipment, the Crusaders knew the basic equipment of the Song army. It is still unknown whether the Korean main force could swallow the leopard when the crusade arrived, and they were even more afraid that the Song army would have a backup plan. Apart from Ouyang Xinzi having some understanding of the Crusaders, Han did not know how the other party was equipped. And there was some difference between the Crusaders and Ouyang Xinzi. He didn't know that Ouyang had learned about it by watching a movie. He didn't dare to move lightly at the moment. He didn't fight or disagree, but just sent people to negotiate and ask for food to the soldiers trapped in the city.

Ouyang asked: "What do you think of Your Majesty?"

"There is only one opinion, and you must not lose the face of Lian and the face of Song Dynasty."

"I heard that Quanzhou is the main one, and there is also a road to the sea silk dialing."

"I'm talking about land now." Zhao Yu was a little unhappy.

"Can Your Majesty give me a pen?"

"Give it!"

Ouyang drew a picture, and then tore it up and painted it. According to what he knew, Constantinople is actually Turkey. But it seems that there is no connection between sea routes. Either follow the Strait of Malacca in India, or go around Feizhou, or go directly to the Americas and then to the Mediterranean. But any sea route is far and wide and difficult. Ouyang gave up and said, "Your Majesty, don't know when to set off?"

"When will the journey be set? General Han's League knows. He will not expedite the 800-mile rush unless there is a big event. You can rest for a day and get off tomorrow morning.

General Liu was in Xiliang to consolidate his army, and the coalition had already told him that you would follow his 20,000 cavalry to go to Constantinople. "Zhao Yu thought about it and said, "This matter is uncertain, the situation is complicated. You see, don't let Zhan Ming accompany you to help you with your safety."

"No, Zhan Ming is indispensable for the military factory and Yangping. Weichen will bring three other subordinates to accompany him."

Zhao Yu nodded: "Lian pulled eight more inner guards from the big net to be your personal guard."

"Thank you for your grace."

Bai Lian had the first chance to watch the war with Ouyang, and was very excited. Last time Zhang San and Li Si and others came back from the northwest, they were so envious of their companions. Each of them had a set of cold-forged armor that was invulnerable to swords and guns, a sharp Xixia sword, and a war horse, all of which were spoiled. It would be so majestic and powerful that it would be hung on the wall of the home.

Although Bai Lian is a bandit, she has little knowledge. She went west after leaving Tokyo and realized that it was different everywhere. After entering the Northwest Military Road, she also had a little bit of Yangping. The roads were very busy. There were many trucks transported in and out. On the one hand, the business was prosperous, and on the other hand, the military. Even if Bai Lian didn't know how to do it, she could see that the Northwest Imperial Army was definitely a well-trained army. In recent years, the two partners of Han and Liu have been working hard on training.

When we arrived in Liangzhou, there was already a deputy general waiting: "I have met the imperial envoy."

"You're welcome, General Liu."

"When I say that, General Liu brought a hundred heavy artillery, for fear of delaying his schedule, he took the lead. Let General Mo lead five thousand cavalry guards to wait for him to go on the road together."

Ouyang ordered: "Stay one night and start tomorrow."

The next morning, the army began to leave. Ouyang looked at the five thousand cavalry and found out that the main force of South Korea was the same. The streamlined old soldiers returned to Xiliangliang to train new soldiers, and the combat troops were both old and old. Ouyang nodded, and it seemed that the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Road was not only strong, but also lasting. At the same time, the last group of combat echelons of the third echelon, 20,000 infantry, will also be released in 10 days. The infantry is equipped with heavy firearms. The most advanced heavy artillery and rocket cars are all transported by them.

There is no problem in marching. Most of the countries passing by are Islamic countries. When I heard that the Song army was going to fight the crusaders, they were extremely welcome and sent guides.

What the Europeans did not expect was that in their eyes, the Cyris seemed to have to fight a decisive battle with them. First, their main force built a city, and then reinforcements arrived one after another. Looking at Cyris's appearance, it seemed that he wanted to fight a protracted battle with him.

Defroye is now regretting it so much that his intestines are blue. He just received the news that the Orthodox people had contacted the Song army. Several countries are asking the Song army to help them get the holy land. Due to huge communication obstacles on both sides, Defroye does not understand what the Song army wants to do.

Not to mention him, Han Shizhong was not very clear about what the Crusader wanted to do. Although he agreed to send water and food to the Zhanglang, he would not fight or release it. Regarding the Orthodox Church's request, Han Shizhong just tactfully said that he was just a soldier, and the people who made the decision had not arrived yet. The Zhanglang people were supported by Yangping's "dog food", and Dongcheng occupied a piece of land and river water, and sent a batch of necessary goods. It would be no big problem to be dealt with for the time being. Of course, as long as the Crusaders dared to attack Zhanglang, they would definitely start a full-scale war.

The next hundred heavy artillery arrived and Liu Qi's headquarters. Compared with Han Shizhong, Liu Qi was in a bad mood when he heard that his subordinate Zhang Lan was surrounded for several months. Han Shizhong considered Liu Qi's status and the morale of his headquarters. In order to explore the truth and reality, he agreed to Liu Qi's headquarters to fight, and he supported the army.

The sun was shining and flat, with hundreds of cannons neatly arranged in three rows three miles away from the main force of the Crusader. There were 5,000 cavalry on the left and right sides of the artillery group. The Crusaders felt the movement of the Song army and immediately arranged defense. The square formations were arranged one by one. Unlike the Central Plains war, Europe was based on neat square formations. Whether it was cavalry, infantry, or infantry, the weapons used were unprecedented in the Song army.

With a sound of drums, the Crusaders began to advance neatly and slowly according to the rhythm of training. Liu Qi said, "Change and fire." The personal soldiers beside him immediately stood on the horse's back, took two flags and waved them.

The general of the artillery group ordered: "Replace all burns and burns and bombs." Although more than a year has passed, the flowering bullets have not been put into use. The cost is too high and the construction period is too long, so it can't stand even Ouyang.

Liu Qi turned over the horse, and ten thousand cavalry immediately followed the horse. The sound of the crusad drum began to rush. Their progress also accelerated. The heavy cavalry phalanx had entered the impact distance.

Suddenly, four cavalry formations rushed towards each other. Liu Qi turned over and dismounted, and the entire army also dismounted and maintained the strength of the horse.

The personal soldiers looked at it for a while and said, "General, you have entered the third artillery group to cover the range."

"put!"

"Yes!" The personal soldiers were on horseback and waved the flag.

The last thirty cannons almost rang out at the same time, and the shells directly hit the crusaders' cavalry phalanx, burning next to their armor. For a moment, the cavalry phalanx was in chaos. Liu Qi shouted: "The first cannons will be released, cut off their retreat."

One shell in ten seconds, the flames completely isolated the cavalry formation from the infantry. Liu Qi ordered again: "The first group of guns will be replaced with solid bullets, the third group of guns will stop shooting, and the second group of guns will stop three later." Then he got on the horse and shouted: "Yanxing Formation."

The Song army unfolded infinitely and rushed towards the enemy cavalry formation. This action made the Crusaders very happy. Such a scattered attack against the cavalry could be said to be extremely stupid. Sir Chi immediately organized a cavalry that had not yet panicked to counterattack the Song army, trying to pierce the Song army.

But they did not expect that Liu Qi's headquarters was not a cavalry at all, but an infantry riding horse. It was a unit in the Korean army that specialized in researching firearms. As soon as the two sides approached, the Crusaders saw countless hand-swinging cannons coming on the surface like raindrops. The Song army stopped when they turned around. At this time, the Crusaders realized why the Song army's cavalry was not in a square formation, because they were afraid that people behind them would run into it. The Yanxing formation was completely a formation that played with hand-swinging cannons. The favorite thing they liked was nomadic peoples, and there were groups like the Crusaders to charge.

"Hell on earth!" Ouyang heard about war as soon as he arrived. Without saying a word, he hurried to Han Shizhong to see the city where the Han army built. Haha, he almost missed the show. The Crusader was hacked by Liu Qi and didn't know what was going on.

The power of grenadiers in the infantry next to the battlefield. Liu Qi's unit was dismounted. One of them fired in groups and the other threw the hand-swinging cannons. The geese formation slowly advanced and tightened. No cavalry could survive such a dense explosion. Of course, no matter how many hand-swinging cannons were, there were still times when they were used up. Seeing that it was almost done, Liu Qi could not hold on to the body of the first group of guns, and he ordered: "Retreat!"

Ten thousand infantry immediately ran back to the side of the horse and turned into an orderly cavalry run away. At the same time, the second and third artillery groups began to bomb and cover the echelon.

The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, a huge group of corpses, plus a stunned crusading phalanx of crusaders. A xx knight saw that the Song army was evacuating the artillery with difficulty, drew out his sword and shouted, and more than a dozen infantry phalanxes began to run and advance. Ouyang sighed: "Don't they know that the enemy is not chasing, especially the troops of General Liu."

Han Shizhong felt relieved when he saw Ouyang saying this. It seemed that Ouyang still supported fighting with others. He smiled and said, "General Liu is a little angry this time, and lord also knows that Zhang Lan is General Liu's beloved general."

"That's it." After Ouyang's speech, the Crusaders suddenly bombed continuously, and the abandoned landmines began to show their power. Although the Crusaders were very brave and intensively advanced step by step, the braver they were, the more people they died. Ouyang called a soldier and said in French: "Release my Song Dynasty personnel, otherwise they would be killed and level the Crusaders. Learn the words well, pass them on, and let a hundred people with good voices yell at me."

"Battle the Crusaders and flatten France." De Vroye, the military leader of Constantinople, was shocked when he heard this. It was not surprising to know the Crusaders, but it was a bit strange to know France. The other party could speak French more, and it was even more strange. What scared him even more was the letter sent by the Song army.

The standard French format reads: You, I am the seventh-rank imperial envoy of the Song Dynasty and the magistrate of Yangping County, Ouyang, in charge of the affairs of this place. I have the authority of you King of France for the time being. Since you seized my Song Dynasty caravans and soldiers, my Majesty was very unhappy. You saw only the front army of the Song Dynasty. In the next two months, there will be more than one million Song troops gathered here. If you are still obsessed with it, we will enter the Mediterranean and let the country disappear. There is a saying in the Song Dynasty that if you know the enemy's situation, you will win every battle. I know the origin of your crusaders very well and I also know your purpose. As far as I know, you have only one hundred thousand soldiers trained, and the rest are composed of refugees, thieves, and robbers. Don't blame me for being too honest and provoking me torture the imperial envoy and beat you until your mother doesn't know you.

Finally, Tongdie: In three days, we will release our people in the Song Dynasty, otherwise the Song Dynasty will declare war on all countries participating in the Crusades, including the Catholic Pope. Ouyang of the Song Dynasty. At noon on February 11, 11, 19th, the 1982nd year of the Song Dynasty.

He caused great trouble. Defroye did not expect that a small conflict would cause a million powerful army. Even though he thought Ouyang Baiwan was boasting, the morning war report was already in his hands. Four thousand cavalry killed on his side, and there were about forty titles. But the enemy was not damaged at all. It was not a battle of the same level. His troops had no power to fight back in front of the enemy.

Song Military Operations Conference...

This road actually has a very complex ethnic composition, including the Turks, the rebellion forces of the Qin Dynasty, and the Rangers composed of many Arab countries. The Turks were basically expelled from the north during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and then they reproduced in some Middle East countries. As Islam, they were incompatible with the Great Qin, which was jealous of the Orthodox religion, and there were disputes between the two sides. The resistance forces of the Great Qin were loyal to the Orthodox religion. While wanting to take Constantinople back, they had to pay attention to the invasion of the Turkic state. The Light Cavalry Group, which was a major player in the Arab world, took it as its mission to eliminate the Crusaders. The Song Dynasty wanted to open up the Silk Road, and all the interests of all parties surfaced in Constantinople.

Compared with the forces, Arabs, Turks and others were unable to deal with the heavy cavalry of the Crusaders. The Crusaders occupied a place and built castles, but the weakness of the Crusaders was that they had a small number of people and could not effectively control a certain area. The result was that both hostile sides were engaged in guerrilla warfare and anti-guerrilla warfare. From the Silk Road to Constantinople, they passed through the country of Persia with the Arabs. They were very friendly compared to the Crusaders. Later, they heard that they were fighting against the Crusaders and allowed the Song army to pass unconditionally. Some countries also set up strongholds for the Song army to rest.

Liu Qi changed his clothes and entered the tent. Ouyang held his fists and saluted: "Master Ou is really a god. Not only can he predict what happened here, but he can also write the words of the Hu people and admire them. No wonder people say that Master Ou is Wenquxing descending to earth."

"General Liu, please sit down." Ouyang saw everyone, and he said to himself: "The emperor's intention is very simple. He is not afraid of fighting, but is afraid of defeating the war. The sand and the grain and grass produced in the northwest military road were all purchased and supplied by the imperial court. All horses in the Hexi Corridor were also filled with the Northwest Military Road. In addition to the 100,000 xiang troops permanently set up in the Northwest Military Road, 200,000 xiang troops were also transferred from other roads to carry grain and grass.

Han Shizhong said: "Sir, according to the information that the last general has explored, if we want to take Constantinople, with the current combat power of our Northwest Army, we will definitely be able to solve it within one month."

Ouyang Xiao asked: "General Han, what did you do to take it down? Should we keep the fire for the Orthodox Church, or give it to the Persians, or help the Arabs defeat the invaders? What does their war have to do with us?"

",," Han Shizhong was stunned. He had never thought about this problem. This place started war on different Song borders, and it was Song Tu. If he forcibly occupied this place, he would have to face Orthodox and Arab guerrillas. The most troublesome thing was that the unobstructed food route might also be destroyed. The lonely army would be unable to continue,

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Why do you need to worry about the general? Since Lord Ou is here, you must have taken advantage of it."

"General Liu joked!" Ouyang took out the map and said, "The red line is the Silk Road that the court wants to open up. Constantinople is the top priority. Once we arrive here, we are definitely a business road that will definitely make money. This place can also be called the throat place in military terms, and it is an important point to block the three ethnic groups in the west, south and north. To be honest, I really want this place."

Han Shizhong shook his head: "Sir, this may be too difficult. If it is just a short-term occupation, it will not be a problem. But if it is to be stationed for a long time, others will not agree. The adults also said that the ethnic groups nearby are complex and their faith is even more extreme. The adults have also seen it. Although it was the first time to face my imperial guards, there were very few enemy fleeing."

Liu Qi said: "The last general is in a hurry to fight this battle because many people in our army are not adapted to the local conditions. Therefore, it is difficult to improve morale and deter the enemy. There are too many deserts, and the progress of the horse marching is far lower than that of the ostracism. Our army has almost no shame team."

Han Shizhong nodded: "At the end, we will only support the local government at most, so that the Song Shang Dynasty can rest when passing by."
Chapter completed!
