Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 926 is about to go to war

Wood has no doubts about Liu Mu's words. At a distance of thirty steps, bows and arrows can be completely defended, so the defense against knives must not be weak.

With a knife, the old wolf just smiled coldly.The knife broke.

Before getting Damascus, it was impossible for the Saracen scimitar to cut through the breastplate of the heavy armored soldier like the old wolf.

Two boxes were carried to Wood, containing a pair of full-body plate armor, which is the general infantry armor of Zhengyuan level, and there are also a full set of knives, bows, etc. in the box.

"I don't want people to know about this kind of power when life and death are at stake. Your soldiers are too weak and need at least one year to one and a half years of training. The same goes for General Hemelitz. But soon I will need you to rely on ordnance Crush to fight a big victory, I don't want all the spoils to belong to you."

"Kingdom of Saracen, their hands stretched a little too far, cut off their claws."

"Yes!" The two generals responded with Tang Jun's salute at the same time.

Liu Mu ordered again: "Rest for three days, and then run back with a heavy load."

When the Tang army retreated, the bison all over the mountains and plains were handed over to the auxiliary soldiers and slave soldiers to deal with.

Before Liu Mu walked back to the campsite, a fight broke out in the campsite.First Li Junxian and Lao Lang, then Lao Lang and Liang Jianfang, Li Junxian fought with Zhili Sili again.

There were soldiers cheering and placing bets.

Liu Mu asked someone to take a Mazha and sit and watch from a distance. After these people were tired, Liu Mu walked over: "What is the outcome of the bet?"

"Of course it's the right to fight."

"The battle of eggs, the Tang army will not fight this time. We don't need to go to war with the Saracen Kingdom, we are just selling armaments. The reason I need to fight is to let people here see the power of Datang's armaments, and then mass There is no need to let Datang lose half of his soldiers in order to protect other people's land."

Liu Mu's words made the eyes of the generals present widen.

It's not for war after traveling tens of thousands of miles, so what are you doing here?

The old wolf became anxious immediately: "Mr. Lang, my general said that you have encountered trouble here, and asked me to carefully select [-] elites and bring them over in five batches, but you asked me to watch the fun."

"It's not a spectacle. In case Saracen attacks us, we still need to guard against it. Also, our soldiers will become instructors and be responsible for training the Roman and Persian armies. This is paid for."

Liu Mu's words drove Lao Lang and the others crazy.

If the focus is on defense, then it is enough to deploy a few side barracks at will, and there is no need to use magic guards.

And there are three thousand guard soldiers.

Li Junxian asked at this time: "What if the Romans are not strong enough and lose Damascus?"

Liu Mu sighed helplessly: "Don't be foolish. Train the Roman soldiers well, but if it really comes to a critical moment, we will have to fight. But you have to listen to me, we are fighting for the interests of the Tang Dynasty. Absolutely do not do things that are beneficial. Right now, the port of Djibouti is very important, as it controls the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, it is behind the throat.”

"Okay." The generals understood that Liu Mu didn't use orders but persuasion, hoping to understand each other.

The old wolf said again: "How about asking Ling to train those slave soldiers?"

"Allocate it yourself. The deployment of Djibouti must be completed within the scheduled date, and then whoever finds time to go to Mogadishu to check the deployment there."

After Liu Mu finished speaking, he left. Li Daozong just looked at him from afar and smiled, but didn't go forward at all.

He is the top general, and the rest are generals.

Li Daozong didn't intend to intervene in these specific affairs, and he could only blame Tang Emperor Li Shimin for making a fuss over a molehill and sending too many elites over.

If they were all ordinary soldiers and generals, no one would be vying to go to the battlefield.

Time passed day by day, and it was as if Wood had died once and then came back to life. Lao Lang and others were all generals of the elite division. Tang Jun's training intensity itself was abnormal, and Shence Guard's training was even more abnormal.

When slave soldiers were slaves, they had high-calorie and high-nutrition food to eat.So even if the body is strong, there is a limit to how strong it is. Under the abnormal level of training intensity, less than one can sustain it.

In this way, the slave soldiers still gritted their teeth and persisted for their better life in the future.

Finally, the spies came to report that there was a change in the army of the Saracen Kingdom, and the targets might be several important towns beside the Jordan River.

Liu Mu, Li Daozong, Lao Lang and other generals led their troops northward to garrison Eilat.

"I don't know why the Romans only have [-] soldiers in this city. This city is very important. If you control this city, you can attack Egypt in the west, and after you capture two fortress cities in the north, Damascus will have no danger to defend."

Li Daozong's hand clattered on the map.

Liu Mu said calmly: "The Senate still doesn't believe that the Saracen Kingdom dared to invade Persia and Rome at the same time. Right now, several fortresses of the Sasan Kingdom in Persia will obviously be attacked by the Saracen Kingdom, so the Eastern Roman Senate I hope to send troops to a position that can support the Persian Sasan Kingdom."

Li Daozong added: "A two-line battle will inevitably be a main attack and a feint. I think this is the main attack. This is the strategy our ancestors played."

Liu Mu said, "You're wrong."

"Wrong, is this a feint attack?"

"No, this is the main attack, and the two fortresses in Persia will also be the main attack. You don't know the Saracen Kingdom. They have been robbing or stealing over the years. They have learned all kinds of weapons and armor from Eastern Rome. Technology. They are all soldiers, even children will go to the battlefield to grab spoils and capture slaves."

Willow began to explain their enemies.

"Against the army configuration, they have a fatal weakness. Their army composition is to rely on different types of cavalry to dominate the battlefield. Started from ambush, so the light cavalry configuration is quite high."

When the old wolf heard this, he asked: "Their army configuration can't deal with heavy infantry at all."

"In theory." Liu Mu nodded.

"The despondent Persian Sasan, they have been frightened and lost their fighting power. In the entire Mediterranean, Rome is barely able to fight, but only barely. The rest are weaker, weak beyond description. There is also a tactical problem, the Mediterranean The traditional fighting method of the army is to fight hand to hand, and one battle will win the battle."

When Liu Mu mentioned here, Zhili Sili also said beside him: "They have studied Saracen these days, and they seem to have learned a lot about our fighting style, relying on light cavalry to quickly outflank and divide troops."
