Crossing the Continent in the Eighteenth Century

A few days later, the military announced the news.It turned out that the old Duke of Bringas was appointed as the warlord of the Imperial Slavic Army, and the next arrangement of the old Duke of Bringas proved that my idea was correct.

In view of the vastness of the eastern European plain, the main force of the empire against the Russians, including the three legions stationed in the corridor along the Black Sea, will have fifteen legions, with a total of 6000 people. One legion will be stationed in the corridor, and fourteen legions will set foot on the corridor. The land of the Eastern European Plain.

The first echelon, the Imperial Army of the Kiev Front Army, consists of the following five legions: the Second Byzantine Army, the Third Spartan Army, the Tenth Spartan Army, the Fifth Ryan Stein Army, and the Eighth Mog Lenny Legion…

I’m speechless about my predecessor, Mograine, everyone who has played World of Warcraft should have heard the classic dialogue “Resurrection, my warrior” in the bloody monastery.These words are for a tragedy called "Mograine"... What's even more confusing is that any legion named after Mograine is inseparable from a "resurrection, my warrior" Legion motto.For example, the Eighth Mograine Legion is "Phoenix Nirvana, I have been reborn".

Is there a reality worse than this?

Yes, the mid- and high-level military rank system of the Roman Empire from the middle of the thirteenth century to the fifteenth century turned out to be a replica or revision of the tribes in World of Warcraft!Great Warlord, Warlord, Lieutenant General, General, Senior Legion Chief, Junior Legion Chief, Legion Thousand Commander, Legion Centurion, honorary titles, double-headed eagle guard, blood guard, royal court guard.

Although the reform of the military system in the middle of the [-]th century modified some outdated military ranks, the military ranks similar to warlords and regimental commanders still remained.The honorary title of High Overseer awarded when the old scumbag dies is an example, and the position of regimental commander is a division commander-like position evolved from the military system of the empire.

Then the old Duke Bringas summoned the main generals of the first echelon front army. At the meeting, his request was that no matter whether the five legions are in place or not, once we arrive in Odessa, if we have more than two legions, we will Immediately head north.

The three legions originally in the coastal corridor have taken over the local area, and we can move forward with confidence.If the legion marching northward encounters a considerable number of enemy troops, it is best not to launch any offensive easily, cut off their supply lines, and force the enemy back.If you encounter a large number of enemy troops, all the legions participating in this attack must preserve their strength to deal with the enemy, and if it is impossible, retreat to the strong fortifications.But if you don't encounter any enemy troops, which is of course the most likely, please lay siege to Kiev and send chasseurs to plunder the Russian territory behind Kiev.

Before everyone left the meeting building, the old Duke of Bringas stood at the door and said to every nobleman who passed by: "Fight for Rome."

"My glory."

When it was my turn, the old prince tightened his hand.

Orders are communicated and immediately carried out.

The big ship bound for the imperial port of Odessa was waiting for us early.

When I was leaving, there were beautiful ladies and noble ladies everywhere on the pier, and Daddy Cheap even took time to see me off.

There were a lot of people accompanying me this time, and I was assigned 80 guards by the cheap old man, and Leon, the son of his chief guard, was transferred to me as the head of the guard.

The old heavy-duty carracks can hold many more people than this.

Valens, along with hundreds of trainees from the West Point Military Academy in Constantinople, and Valens's father, Orion, the Marquis of Zimiskia, and a group of more than 30 imperial nobles brought their Guard, with so many people walking on the deck, it doesn't feel crowded.But our mounts have to be transported by two other big ships. After all, no one wants the whole ship to smell bad.

Valence's father, Orien Zimischia, is the highest-ranking nobleman in the entire entourage, and he is the commander of our first echelon.

Uncle Zimischia has the same friendship as me and Valens, and is my cheap daddy's playmate.When I was young, during the period when I followed my cheap daddy to Damascus, I worked as a war supervisor, in charge of military law.Later, he served as the governor of Aleppo for several years. He was notoriously indifferent during his tenure. It is said that Valens’s mother had a blind date with me for the first time. People ransacked the house and silenced them, so angry that Valens' grandfather brought his own soldiers and guards to kill the old man's house on the spot to find out what happened.Then, mother Valence suffered a tragedy, but father Valens stepped forward to help share more than half of the fault, and finally the two became a family after flirting with each other.So, don't look at Uncle Zimischia, the father of Valence, who often has a stern face, but he is actually a cold-faced and warm-hearted person.

On the night of the fourth day at sea, the black sea breeze was gentle. After dinner, everyone went for a walk on the deck. At this time, the Marquis of Zimiskia came to the cabin where I was.

As the elder of the Theofano family, he asked me about my situation and how I felt about going to the battlefield.

I was a little nervous, and a little scared, but what was more, I had endured so much hardship, and I was finally able to show the eagerness and excitement of what I had learned.But I don't think I can do it like a native Roman shouting for Rome, because I still remember that I come from another country that is as old as Rome.But I will not back down, because as a time traveler, I want to prove that I am not much worse than my predecessor!

"Your Highness, who do you think the Russians will send as commander this time?" Uncle Zimischia casually turned the topic to the battle situation.

Test me?

This is not a problem.

"The commander-in-chief of the army decides the fate of the battle. No matter how good the soldiers are with the best equipment, you can't win if you put an idiot on it. Therefore, I don't think Elizabeth of Russia will send all her lovers to do it." I narrowed down the scope, and there are only a few Russian generals with names and surnames left, "Peter Lacy, Burkhard Christoph von Manik, Vasily Vladimirovich Dolgoruky. The combination of Peter and Burkhard proved to be the most effective combination of the Russian generals. Had we not fought on the shores of the Black Sea, we would have had a good chance of meeting these two men."

Uncle Zimischia smiled and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean we will never run into these two people?"

"Yes, Burkhard is a German. He is not familiar with the southern part of the Eastern European Plain. If he is sent down, it is better to keep him in the northern part. You know, he has always won more wars against the Swedes. If you lose less, it can act as a deterrent to the Swedes. Even if they want to go to war, they have to worry about Burkhard's existence. Since Burkhard can't come, the role of Peter going to the south will be greatly reduced. The example of the battle in Sweden proves that if this man wins, he will win heartily, but if he loses, he will lose his muscles and bones. Moreover, as a newly rising military upstart, he has always been jealous of the old man Vasily, who is afraid of the former Will take his place one day. Since Peter can't partner with Burkhard, naturally he can't match him with Vasily. Apart from disagreement in the court, the two have their own opinions on command. It is difficult to guarantee that there will not be disagreements, and then each will do his own thing, leading to the collapse of the war situation."

Uncle Zimischia narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It sounds like Vasily will be the commander of the Russian expedition to the south."

"Vassily Vladimirovich Dolgoruky, he was born in the prominent Dolgoruky family. Before the Mongols came, the blood of this family spread all over the major Russian principalities in the Eastern European Plain. After hundreds of years, those people The Principality of Ross has perished, but there are still many survivors. It can be said that Vasily is still very popular in this land. He is the leader here. He has advantages over Peter and Burkhard. In fact, he has many battles in which the enemy was broken, tied, and dragged down. Even if he can't win, he won't lose too badly. More importantly, even if Vasily loses, this will be of great concern to the Russians. benefit!"

There is a hidden plot that is beneficial to lose, and the whole world can be triggered by Russia.

why?

Elizabeth of Russia was still working as a nun in a monastery before she became a queen. She had no foundation at all in the country.Later, the seizure of power relied entirely on domestic officials.Vasily is not only a powerful minister among the powerful ministers, but also a great hero who helped Elizabeth come to power in one fell swoop.If Vasily was defeated, it would be a good time for Elizabeth to kick off the great Russian nobles who were holding her back.

"Your Highness's thoughts coincide with those of Lord Overseer." Uncle Zimischia gave me a favorable evaluation before leaving.

At noon on the fifth day, early October, we arrived at the imperial port, Odessa.
