January 10, in the middle of the Nile, in the city of Ptolemes Sibaid.

The Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom of Gelong entered to distribute food and provide relief to the hungry people who had run out of food, because the upper echelons of the city had already fled with supplies and useful people.

Of course, the food was not given in vain, and the door panels had to be contributed to help the Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Regiment of the Gelong Kingdom cross the Nile.

The Nile front is long, and this is the same for both sides.

The Gelon army was deployed along the line, and the Eastern Roman army was also arranged accordingly, and there were two legions of the Neo-Babylonian fortress opposite the fifth crossbow cavalry corps of the Gelong Kingdom, the third all-round light cavalry corps of the Neo-Babylonian fortress, plus a slave archery cavalry legion.

Patrols on both sides searched the banks of the river, and a regiment could not cross the river without being detected.

However, this premise is within the scope of the search. ......

On the other side, the territory of the Neo-Babylonian fortress.

The Gelon army and the Eastern Roman army were facing each other across the Nile, and they used small boats to negotiate with each other.

The Gelong army let the Eastern Roman army retreat, but the Eastern Roman army naturally refused.

The Eastern Roman army let the Gelong army retreat, but the Gelong army naturally refused.

Talked nonsense and broke up.

Due to the excessive crossbow arrows of the Gelong army, the Eastern Roman army was waiting for reinforcements, in order to use the crowd tactics to win in one blow, and it would take at least ten days to go back and forth, at least about three days to report the news, and at least seven days to the sea route.

Yamazaki was waiting for the Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom of Gelong, and when they crossed the river, the situation opened up.

When the time comes, the rafts for crossing the river in the city of Oakregas will be taken out, and the rafts built in Alexandria will be laid out.

When the time comes, it will depend on how the Eastern Roman army is chosen.

Divide the troops, then break them one by one.

Hold together, then besiege it.

Yamazaki saw the battlefield clearly through animals, and saw the movement of the Eastern Roman Army clearly, no matter how the Eastern Roman Army changed, it could be adjusted in time.

The first wave of reinforcements from the East Rome had just arrived, and it would take time to distribute them to the entire eastern front, with the city of Ocriges two hundred kilometers away in a straight line, and Thollmes Sibed four hundred kilometers away.

And the Gelong army was three days ahead of them, and three days was enough time to dominate the war. ......

At night, on the west bank of the middle and upper reaches of the Nile.

Taking advantage of the dark night, most of the Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Regiment of the Gelong Kingdom led their horses out of the camp with the door panel, and only got on their horses when they walked away, marched more than ten miles along the river to cross the water, and were led across the river by horses on the door panel.

A small number of people remained in the area of the city of Ptomes Sibaid, carrying torches and continuing to patrol on horseback.

Originally, patrols were carried out in turns, but now they are responsible for them, and anyway, only torches can be seen on the other side, and the number and location can only be determined through torches, and it is impossible to see who is holding the torches.

And in this way, the other party would not have thought at all that the Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Regiment of the Gelong Kingdom had already crossed the river. ......

On the morning of January 11, on the east bank of the middle and upper reaches of the Nile.

After resting, the crossbow cavalry began to attack, and they were immediately spotted by a patrol of the Slave Archers Regiment of the Neo-Babylonian fortress.

How could such a large group of men and horses not be seen in broad daylight, and they were marching, and the target was the large battalion of the archers.

The horn of warning woke up the camp, but it was too late.

By the time they hastily assembled, the crossbowmen had already reached the outside of the camp.

The crossbow bolts rained down, and the soldiers took refuge, and even fled directly.

Under persuasion, the two legions surrendered.

Collecting their weapons and equipment, leaving some men to watch over them, the remaining men and horses of the Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom of Gelong left with the harvested horses.

At the same time, the West Bank team sent someone to inform that the operation was going well, using two horses and eight horses, in order to be safe, and quickly inform the city of Oakregas. ......

At noon, in the area of the fortress of Paliusiam.

The sixth, seventh, and two crossbow cavalry legions of the Gelong Kingdom, under the constant harassment of the other party, retreated across the river with great annoyance.

The river is not wide, and the large catapults on both sides can theoretically cover each other, but the Gelong Kingdom uses a much lighter iron oil tank, while the Eastern Roman Kingdom uses relatively heavy stone bullets, so the Gelong Kingdom has the advantage.

It's just that the Eastern Roman Kingdom filled with human lives, sent troops to harass from time to time, and continued to attack all night long, coming and leaving, leaving and coming, so that the two crossbow cavalry legions were tired and had to retreat and rest. ......

In the afternoon, outside Alexandria.

Flo arrived with two Gothic hoplites, who had settled their families and fought in peace, and brought a lot of war supplies.

The Gothic Hoplites are equipped with alloy full-body armor, which is disassembled into vests, shorts, arm guards, hand guards, leg guards, shin guards, boots, helmets, and visor.

In addition to large shields, there are also spears, long-handled axes, battle axes, war hammers, pickaxes, etc., which are all murder weapons anyway.

Ranged weapons are ordinary iron throwing axes, javelins, and crossbows with alloys.

Their mission is to fight in the streets of the city, occasionally as nails, to intercept enemy troops.

Their problem is that their equipment is still too heavy, but there's nothing to do about it right now. ......

On the afternoon of January 12, in the area of the city of Oakreguis in the middle and lower reaches of the Nile.

The 5th Crossbow Cavalry Regiment of the Gronjia took up a position to cross the river on the west bank, and the two regiments on the east bank, the 2nd All-Round Light Cavalry Regiment of the Neo-Babylonian Fortress, plus a slave archer regiment, also contracted their defenses and prepared to intercept.

If it is on the shore, the bow and arrow are indeed no match for the alloy crossbow, but if one side is in the water, it is different.

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves was heard.

When the appointed time came, the Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom of Gelong arrived on the battlefield.

After obtaining a large number of horses from both legions, they overrode the deserters at least on two horses, and reached the territory of Oakregas before the news could reach the territory of Oakregas.

"Enemy attack!"

It's useless to shout, it's late.

The Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom of Gelong rushed past their flank, and the crossbow arrows rained down, and the formation of the two legions was suddenly chaotic.

The Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Legion of the Gelong Kingdom circled back again, using the range of the alloy crossbow to force the surrender, the slave legion immediately surrendered, and the regular legion hesitated and surrendered.

The 5th Crossbow Cavalry Regiment of the Gronn family crossed the river without incident, leaving some prisoners in care, while others set out on their way with horses and rafts. ......

On the other side, the area of the Palyusiam Fortress.

Under the cover of large trebuchets, the first and second Gothic hoplites of the Gelong family, and the sixth and seventh two crossbow cavalry legions of the Gelong kingdom, re-crossed the river.

In the evening, he retreated. ......

In the evening, on the east bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Nile.

The 5th Crossbow Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom of Gelong and the 5th Crossbow Cavalry of the Gelong Family attacked the Eastern Roman reinforcements who were encamped, and they were originally preparing to gallop to the territory of the city of Okregas and the area of the city of Thollemia Sibed.

The two all-round cavalry legions of the Palyusiam Fortress and the four motley mercenary legions did not expect to encounter the enemy at all, thinking that the enemy was still on the opposite bank.

Six legions were forced to surrender, and in order to guard them, the fifth crossbow cavalry regiment of the Grons stayed behind and led them slowly. ......

At night, in the middle and lower reaches of the Nile, the Lake Morris oasis area.

The fleeing soldiers rushed to the Eastern Roman army camp on the east bank, and they finally got the information that the kingdom of Gelong had crossed the river.

Five legions, the First All-Powerful Light Cavalry Legion of the Neo-Babylonian Fortress, one Slave Archer Legion, the newly added Seventh All-Powerful Heavy Legion, and two miscellaneous mercenary legions.

Before they could react, the Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom of Gelong followed the rout and launched a night attack at the sound of the patrol's warning horn.

Out of love for horses, instead of driving a large number of horses to the camp of the horse company, he used crossbow arrows.

The miscellaneous mercenary legion directly collapsed, and under their influence, except for the seventh all-powerful heavy legion, everyone else fled.

There was no management of the rout, the 5th Crossbow Cavalry Legion of the Gelong Kingdom was divided into two roads, one way to guard the Heavy Cavalry Legion, all the way to lay a raft, and then the 6th Crossbow Cavalry Legion of the Gelong family on the opposite bank crossed the river, and then the 6th Crossbow Cavalry Legion of the Gelong Family fortified and guarded the Heavy Cavalry Legion, and the 5th Crossbow Cavalry Legion of the Gelong Kingdom rested. ......

On the morning of January 13, the Neo-Babylonian fortress.

The large number of routs revealed that the middle and upper reaches of the Nile had been completely lost, and that at least three legions of the Kingdom of Gelong were on the east bank of the middle and upper reaches.

Whether or not to send troops, how many troops to send, this is a question, less will be eaten, more will be delayed.

There are still two legions on the east bank of the fortress, and there are more than a dozen legions in the Nile Delta to the north of the fortress, which can come at any time.

The forty legions, with the land army on the east bank of the Nile plus reinforcements, have now lost nearly a third. ......
