Evening, December 27, Eguptos area.

Spies from the Eastern Roman side appeared, because the legions on the Eastern Roman side did not contact on time.

Yamazaki saw them through the animals, but did not inform the patrolmen, allowing them to take advantage of the night to crawl out of the position in the grass and get out of the patrol range.

In the middle of the night, the spies crawled away, and the next thing was to see how the Eastern Romans reacted. ......

December 28th.

Golden Eagle Nika began to distribute leaflets, and Yamazaki mobilized the soldiers who would write ancient Greek in the past two days, and wrote a lot of leaflets.

The destination was Alexandria and other places, shaking the hearts of their people and the army.

There were more than 3 million slaves in the area of Aeguptos, and less than one-tenth of the commoners in Eastern Rome, but the lives of these more than 200,000 commoners were enough to influence the views of the slaves.

What is a slave, what is a commoner, what is a tax, the slaves here, there should be quite a few of them, know this.

Slaves are still slaves after surrendering, and slaves become civilians after surrendering, and they don't have to pay taxes, this contrast is something that fools know how to choose.

Not only slaves, but also civilians will also have the idea of surrendering. ......

In the afternoon, the effectiveness of the leaflet began to be exercised.

Alexandria, which was the first to receive leaflets, stepped up patrols inside and outside the city, and the patrols also collected all the leaflets they could.

But the leaflets can be collected, but they can't control the spread of rumors. ......

On the morning of December 29, Yamazaki and Midaiko's camp.

Yamazaki woke up from a sneeze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Midaiko, who was holding a grass next to her with a smile, was speechless and didn't bother to say anything.

Wash your face, rinse your mouth with salt water with mint juice, excrete, use linen as a toilet paper, and cremate when you run out.

Breakfast is preceded by exercise, stretching and running.

Sweating, taking a medicated bath, it's time for breakfast.

Yamazaki's breakfast is wheat bread with beef slices and milk, and Maidiko's breakfast is beef with milk, so even if it's another job, the amount of food is still there.

Flo was on the side to report on the situation of the Eastern Roman army, the situation in his own army, fights, moods, complaints, homesickness, women, etc., etc.

After breakfast, Yamazaki observed the situation through animals, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea.

Mei Daizi went to harvest faith, batch after batch, the faith of animals, this is not good, you have to take it yourself, and people's faith is a contribution, just wait. ......

In the afternoon, the first reinforcements arrived in the port city area of Putis, and with the alloy crossbows of the three legions, the three archers who came first were upgraded to the ballista cavalry corps.

And the three crossbow cavalry legions of the Gronn family immediately galloped to the aid of the Eguptos region. ......

December 30, Cyrene region.

The upper echelons of the local tribe looked at the reinforcements of the Gelong family who had changed horses and galloped away, and looked at each other one by one.

If this continues, they will probably really have to stay in the kingdom of Gelong. ......

December 31, morning, camp tent.

The first reinforcements came with Hybeya Lydis, who personally brought abundant food and a large amount of ale.

In order to avoid drinking and making mistakes, Yamazaki simply divided half of the wine to the Eastern Roman legions, asked everyone to drink together, and gave some roast sheep.

The Eastern Roman legions are also accustomed to receiving these days, so they have not refused.

Hybea Ridice reported to Yamazaki that she had compiled some information that there was a surplus of 50,000 tons of grain in the Port Leptis area.

Yamazaki looked at the report and hesitated, deciding not to change the way of farming and wait.

However, it is still necessary for Hybea Lydith to use more manpower on food, and the agricultural and pastoral cycle is long, which can increase fishing boats and salt drying grounds, and increase the number of fish pickled and grain.

The efficiency of casting the net is not good, try to use the trawl net, several fishing boats share a large net, joint fishing.

In order to prevent the fish from towing the boat over, it is necessary to increase the buoyancy of the boat, which can be increased by adding two flanking hulls.

Hybea Ridice was immediately impressed by Yamazaki, because it would definitely increase the catch by a lot.

After explaining the matter, Yamazaki let the troubled waters of Hybea Lyddice go.

Although her whole body is in the robe, her graceful body and the fragrance of her body, I don't know how many people have been confused along the way.

Leaving her absolutely ruined the morale of the army, she simply let Flo take a vacation and let Flo go back with her.

As Flo leaves with Hybea Lyddice, Midet smirks and uses the power of faith to help Flo adjust his body so that he is stronger enough to conquer this beautiful woman.

Yamazaki tapped Midaiko's little head amusefully and told her not to peek. ......

517, January 1.

The reinforcements of the Gelong family have arrived, plus the fifth, sixth, and seventh ballista legions of the Gelong Kingdom, a total of thirteen crossbow cavalry legions, and three engineer legions.

There were also two heavy regiments, each with a regiment of engineers, stationed in the area of Port Putis and Cyrene.

The seven besieged Eastern Roman legions chose to surrender, because the Grons now had the ability to occupy the area of Eguptos, so they didn't have to worry about the problems with their families.

And because of their resistance, they had to fight for the Grons for twenty years, treated the same as six Gothic hoplites.

Of course, this was after the Kingdom of Gelong occupied the area of Eguptos, and now they need to disarm and retreat to the port city area of Putis. ......

Yamazaki summoned his generals, drew the approximate location of the city on the sand table according to the book, and laid out a strategy for the Eguptos area.

The nearby port city of Paretonian, the great city of Alexandria near the outlet of the Nile, the fortress of New Babylon in the lower reaches, the city of Oakrigis in the lower middle and lower reaches, the city of Thollmaes Sibed in the upper middle and upper reaches, and the port city of Chrisma in the Red Sea.

There is also the edge of the Aeguptos area, which connects to the Palyushi Am Fortress in the Sinai Peninsula.

In fact, the entire map and sand table, Yamazaki made it in the spirit world, but he couldn't take it out.

The problem of the battle was to cross the Nile with a pontoon bridge and capture the Neo-Babylonian fortress and the Palyusiam fortress east of the river, and only by capturing the Palyuhiam fortress could the Eastern Roman Kingdom block the attack of the Eastern Roman Kingdom from the land and occupy the area of Aeguptos.

It is the dry season of the Nile, so there is no need to worry about the river suddenly swelling. ......

The first stop was the port city of Paretonian, two hundred kilometers away, and they were informed before the soldiers arrived at the city, so that those who did not want to stay were allowed to leave.

However, when the troops arrived, the city of Port Paretonian did not open its doors and surrendered, but defended the city, presumably treating the kingdom of Gelong as a barbarian.

Then there is no need to say, thirty-six trebuchets on board, half to the city, half to the coast blockade port.

The warships in the city have already gone to sea, watching from afar, waiting for an opportunity to move.

The trebuchet fired, and a tin oil tank blew down the gate, but even the city wall was knocked down, sealing the road.

The power is a bit overdone.

But it worked well, and there was chaos in the city.

The second tin oil tank was thrown into the sea and exploded in the sea near the harbor, instantly stopping those who wanted to escape.

The notice promised that it would still be civilians to surrender, and the people inside trembled and moved away the rocks and sent representatives to surrender.

Flo's annual leave was not over, and he did not return to Gentle Village, and Yamazaki personally received them, and then asked them to persuade the battleship to surrender.

Soon after a small boat went to sea, the battleships returned to port one after another, twenty triremes of one hundred and eighty oars, and forty single-deck Dromon patrol boats of fifty oars.

They are local warships, and their families are in the city, so they can't come back.

Yamazaki calculated that the capacity of battleships and merchant ships could send a legion, so that there would be no need to build a pontoon bridge. ......
