Chapter 382: The Distribution of the Roman Army

"Huh!"

Princess Anastasia of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire smiled, staring deeply at the emissary of the Bulgarian kingdom.

The envoy of the Bulgarian kingdom was numb at the sight of Anastasia, and he squeezed out a smile and looked at Anastasia.

Anastasia pondered for a moment, and then she spoke, "Yes, you can immediately inform your Highness the King of this news!" ”

The envoy of the Kingdom of Bulgaria wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he nodded to Anantasia with a stiff smile.

Turning her gaze at the emissaries of the Republic of Venice and the Kingdom of Armenia, Anastasia asked, "How long will it take for Venice and Armenia to send troops?"

The envoys of the two countries asked, "Your Royal Highness, are you going to send troops immediately?" ”

Anastasia nodded and said, "Well, that's right, the sooner the better, how long will it take you?"

The emissaries of the Republic of Venice and the Kingdom of Armenia began to groan.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, it will take fifteen days for our Republic of Venice to send troops to Constantinople at the earliest!" The envoy of the Republic of Venice said this to Anastasia after his analysis.

And the envoy of the Kingdom of Armenia said: "Your Royal Highness, if my ** team sets off immediately, I'm afraid it will take about twenty days!" ”

Anastasia's brows furrowed, and she asked again, "So tell me how many troops can you both provide?"

The envoy of the Republic of Venice said directly without thinking about it: "Your Royal Highness Princess, we, the Republic of Venice, can provide up to eight thousand soldiers!"

If conditions allow, we in the Republic of Venice can also hire 3,000 mercenaries! ”

The Armenian envoy smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness Princess, our Armenian kingdom can provide a maximum of 10,000 soldiers!"

After all, Your Royal Highness Princess, you also know that our Kingdom of Armenia still needs a certain number of troops to defend against the invasion of the Arabs. ”

Anastasia's brow furrowed even more when she heard the number of soldiers offered by both sides.

After all, Anastasia had a general understanding of the army of the Huaxia Empire, and the number of the Huaxia Emperor's ** team could be described as many.

Anastasia conservatively estimated that in addition to the army in the Chinese Empire to attack the north, there should be more than 100,000 left.

The armies of the Kingdom of Armenia and the Republic of Venice combined are now at most 21,000 men.

The Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate in the northern steppes claimed to have hundreds of thousands of commanders.

But Anastasia knew that the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate counted all the fighting herdsmen in the country.

Anastasia didn't think that those herdsmen could have any combat effectiveness, and the equipment of those herdsmen was very rudimentary, how could this be worthy of the well-equipped army of the Chinese Empire.

In Anastasia's understanding, the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate could each pull out about 100,000 more combat-ready troops at most.

Note that this is a relatively combat-ready army, of which about 80 percent are herdsmen.

Anastasia knew that the only one who could take out all the armies without reservation was the Bolgar Khanate.

The Cuman Khanate would not pull all the troops out, and the location of the Cuman Khanate was awkward.

The Cuman Khanate had the Chinese Empire to the west, the Bolgar Khanate to the north, the Khazar Khanate and the Samanid Empire to the south, and the Qarluq Khanate and the Uighur Khanate to the east.

Moreover, the relations between these countries and the Cuman Khanate were not so good, the Cumen Khanate invaded the Samanid Dynasty, and also attacked the Qarluq Khanate and the Uighur Khanate, and the relations between the Khazar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate were not so friendly.

This made it impossible for the Cuman Khanate to devote its entire army to the war against the Chinese Empire.

The Cuman Khanate had to keep at least half of its army behind to defend against counterattacks from other khanates and dynasties.

Because now, in Anatasya's cognition, the Cuman Khanate should only be able to send 20,000 or 30,000 troops.

In this way, the four countries of the Bolgar Khanate, the Cuman Khanate, the Republic of Venice and the Kingdom of Armenia should only be able to pull out about 100,000 fighting troops.

Looking at it this way, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire had to send at least fifty or sixty thousand people to invade the Chinese Empire, but the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire did not have too many troops!

The Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire in Basil. During the years of Macedonia's rule, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was at war in all directions.

As a result, most of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire's armies were stationed at the borders of the country.

In particular, after the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire seized the province of Antioch from the Arab Abbasids, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire sent heavy troops to defend Antioch.

After the Arab Abbasids were taken over the province of Antioch by the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, the Arab Abbasids lost a lot of face.

You must know that when the Arab Abbasid Dynasty fought against the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, they sent a large number of troops.

In this way, the Arab Abbasids were defeated, which made the Arab Abbasid caliph lose face.

Even some of the unstable forces in the country began to move, and of course these unstable forces generally supported the Arab Abbasids to retake Antioch.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that those unstable forces in the Arab Abbasid Dynasty are also members of the YSL world.

The seizure of Antioch by the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was not only a shame for the Arab Abbasids, but also for the Arab world.

Because of this, these unstable forces, while intending to become independent and disobey the caliphate.

Each of them sent troops to attack the province of Antiochus, but none of them did so.

Because the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire deployed at least 50,000 troops in the province of Antioch, and transported many strategic materials from the hinterland to the province of Antioch.

Most of these materials were purchased by the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire from the Chinese Empire, which was a large grain producer!

The grain of the Chinese Empire could not be digested domestically, so part of it was sold to the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Khazar Khanate.

It was precisely by relying on the grain of the Chinese Empire that the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire could go to war everywhere with impunity.

In addition to the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, most of the troops were deployed in the eastern province of Antiochus, and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire on the Italian Peninsula also deployed many troops.

The Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire has always wanted to restore the glory of the Roman Empire.

In addition to the Italian Peninsula, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was also making feints on the Iberian Peninsula, and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire also wanted to regain the lost territory of the Iberian Peninsula.

This made the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire a little empty, but fortunately, the army of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was not completely controlled by Emperor Basil. Macedonian hands.
