What happened after that made the captain of the guard even more numb and turned a blind eye.Because the patrol team under the city wall was also gone, only a dozen unowned mounts and pack animals were left ready-made.At this moment, he finally believed in the incomparably correct and wise vision of the little princess.

This young general probably came from some ancient and noble blood in the other continent; therefore, even if he is in a foreign land, he will receive the blessing and guidance of the gods.And after the failure of the marriage mission, this is undoubtedly the best way out for the little princess he serves.

And the road to escape that followed was as smooth as the captain of the guard had expected.Even if they encounter some suspected patrols or dragging cavalry on the road, they will soon disappear in the process of trying to catch up with force majeure.

Therefore, after running for more than half an hour, which was almost extraordinarily long but short, the round dome of the manor where the temporary military camp was located in the distance was already vividly visible.And during this invisible spiritual exchange on horseback, Jiang Tian also learned about Paulina's experience of coming to overseas provinces.

In other words, the situation in the overseas provinces before, and those local representatives who came to plead for orders, are even worse.At least they have concealed something false, more news about local factions and forces.As a result, the North African Corps encountered its first battle before landing.

It was the remnants of the local rebellious Royal Navy, transformed into a pirate gang on the spot; they actually tried to rob and attack these transport ships.As a result, in the continuous gang-hopping battle after approaching, they were suppressed and captured by these armed transport ships full of soldiers with their numerical superiority.

Immediately afterwards, whenever the North African Corps landed at Kashiba Port, what they saw was a provincial city under siege; and a large number of ships that were congested in the port area; therefore, the first dozen transport ships that arrived It was also necessary to put down the boat near the shore to let some soldiers go ashore first.

After the troops and equipment of about one regiment were assembled, a tentative attack was launched against the unknown armed forces besieging the city.As a result, these seemingly large numbers of besiegers were nothing more than mobs; neither outlying police posts nor patrols were arranged.

As a result, the soldiers of the Free Army rushed to the gorgeous tent that was suspected to be the command headquarters; then their morale collapsed, and they dispersed in a hurry.After rescuing the provincial capital of Central Algiers, Paulina realized how bad the situation in the overseas provinces is today.

Except for a few coastal cities with ports, most of the cities in the coastal areas have lost contact; under the influence of internal and external factors, there are as many armed forces in provinces and places as a cow's hair.Those who besieged this port city were the most powerful force among them.

It is said that the leader is an aristocratic officer who fled from the country. After successfully colluding with and bewitching, the officers and non-commissioned officers in the remaining local garrison seized the arsenal and military fortress nearby, and resolutely pulled up the royalist party. The flag, and the royal guards known as the overseas provinces.

However, the local people are not very interested in the slogan of defending the royal family; therefore, this team, which is full of old officers and sergeants, can only rely on continuous robbing of places and passing some people to grow its strength.In the end, they gathered nearly [-] people and surrounded the provincial capital for more than a month.

...

Therefore, the next Paulina and the North African Corps, after a simple rest and replenishment, immediately went into frequent and fierce battles.In addition to fighting large-scale rebels, they also had to deal with various banners and under-the-head armed places like weeds.

It is also necessary to wipe out and eliminate those bandits, horse thieves and local bandits roaming on the road.Therefore, in addition to relying on relatively well-equipped and well-trained soldiers with sufficient supplies, she also specially pardoned those local soldiers who participated in the rebellion but were captured, so that they could serve again.

In the name of the North African Corps of the Free Army, it was announced that the cities in the overseas provinces, which had been disarmed and locked up, and the mixed-race soldiers of the auxiliary forces, would lift the original birth restrictions; allow them to rejoin the army and obtain regular wages and opportunities for advancement.

Therefore, just such a decisive order from Paulina caused the North African Corps to suddenly expand its new force by one and a half times; many local mixed-race young and strong, after hearing the news brought back by their fellow countrymen, relatives, and tribesmen, Bring your own weapons and mounts to come and go.

As a result, with the support of these local soldiers who came to defect in an endless stream, the North African Corps set out from the province of Central Algiers and fought all the way to West Algiers; Tunisian province; finally turned back to East Algiers.

For more than half a year, the North African Corps fought almost every day in the overseas provinces, not in new battles, but on the way to the next battlefield; and in the continuous and frequent battles, the Overseas Corps was almost reduced. More than half, some company soldiers have been replaced for several rounds.

Fortunately, she is not fighting alone; the ports along the coast also provide endless support in terms of soldiers, food, equipment, and supplies from the mainland of the kingdom on the other side; Company, a behemoth with more than 40 auxiliary companies.

But it wasn't until the previous month that they caught the last small remnant of the old aristocratic armed forces/arch guards who had fled in the mountains south of the Atlas Mountains.But from the mouths of these former officers, Paulina also got an unexpected news; this led an army here.

Because, someone saw a young man who looked exactly like Paulina at the camel market near the city of Bechar; and rejected them with contempt and disdain, these royalists recruited and wooed them, and defeated many of them. After his companions, he left with a group of armed men.

This is also the first time she has received definite news about her brother, but she has also taken into account her responsibilities and the vow she made to Jiang Tian back then.Therefore, after the investigators sent in advance lost contact one after another, they made up their minds and decided to lead the team here on the grounds of investigating the local situation.

I thought it was an armed parade for a while, but unexpectedly got involved in the hidden riots in the local area.During the spiritual exchange, Paulina tried her best to drive her mount, and rushed into the barracks that was disturbed far away, and she saw that she had no time to give orders on the horse: "Gendarmerie Squadron and Guard Squadron! Arrest immediately, Representatives from the tribes of Farshal, Thetis, and Muja; they conspired with our enemies and provided false information to lead all into a death trap."

...

"Order the auxiliary companies on the outskirts to put down all work immediately, and repair and build fortifications on the spot;" "Gather all the locals who act as guides and translators in each company, disarm and strictly guard them. Kill on the spot."

"The Third Cavalry Brigade, deploy towards the northwest desert, prepare to intercept and capture possible enemy scouts and rangers!" "No. 60 Seventh Artillery Squadron, deploy towards the reeds by the southeast road, prepare Preparations for coverage shooting..."

“No.19掷弹兵大队，准备好燃烧物和火药弹……”“第七骑兵大队，No.20九、31、45打击大队，No.40七、No.60五长枪大队；向东面的大路组成迎击阵型……”

"Sir..." After arranging everything, Paulina cautiously read to Jiang Tian who was floating beside her, "That's all I can do; Bring three combat companies and five auxiliary companies, a total of 2300 people."

"Don't worry, you have done quite well. Next, as long as I can resolutely implement my instructions, these soldiers alone will be enough for the time being." Jiang Tian also responded and comforted her in his mind: "What's more, I There are other measures just in case..."

The temporary barracks, which had been fully mobilized, fired the first rocket to correct the wind direction and landing point towards the swampy area on the side of the road in the distance, and then deployed the grenadier brigade, Hale rockets carrying incendiary materials were launched one after another.

Among the flying and curved smoke columns, these were originally used as portable siege equipment; as long as a simple guide rail or even a slope is needed, the launched Hale rocket can be quickly ignited; amidst the continuous movement of waterfowl after another , bombarded in the reeds one after another.

Immediately, it turned into pieces of raging flames that exploded; and under the dry and hot wind from the direction of the desert, it quickly spread and spread.For a moment, I saw the scorching fireworks soaring into the sky, roasting the birds and waterfowl hovering in the air, almost falling down one after another;

Immediately, it turned into a tragic and indistinct wailing and exclamation; along with the large burning fire field, the reeds were violently shaking and turning; People, stumbled and ran out of it;

Then, with the burning flames and smoke trails on their bodies, they threw themselves into the puddles and ditches around the reeds.Some people couldn't stand up after falling down, and some people hurriedly took off their ragged and torn robes, and rushed to the road with more time in their hearts.

However, what greeted them at this time was not the helping hand stretched out by the Free Army;In the blink of an eye, the unknown ambushes in the swamp collapsed defenselessly.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry brigade in charge of deploying in the northwest direction also sounded the alarm for a large-scale enemy attack...
