"Your Excellency, you mean to take a detour from the eastern side of the Black Sea?" When the Great Eclipse army was faced with the Bosphorus and could not do anything, Ayebi also hurried from Baghdad. On the one hand, he personally escorted supplies to the front, and on the other hand, he also came with orders from the Abbasids. Today, the strategic situation of the Great Eclipse Empire has become extremely bad. Without a navy, his war potential has been exhausted, so that after the expeditionary corps was annihilated in Gaul, the Great Food Empire could not send troops into the Iberian Peninsula in time to defend, so that the Great Food Empire, which had already had a strategic advantage, became in danger.

However, the method proposed by Ayebi to bypass the eastern shore of the Black Sea to besiege Byzantium is actually not a good way, not to mention that the current Tang army has advanced to the west of the Caspian Sea, will there be any ideas about the Black Sea, just pumping a large number of troops to make a detour for such a long time, whether his side can reach the vicinity of Byzantium in time is a problem. Ayebi's side had already sent the last reserve from the vicinity of Baghdad to Tunis and other places to prepare, and he had no hope for the Iberian Peninsula, and it was already very fortunate for the current high-level of the Great Food Empire to be able to hold the territory of Africa.

"Your Excellency, I wonder how far the Phoenician Canal has progressed?" Amdullah was the supreme commander of the Great Food Empire near the strait at this time, so he asked after considering Ayebi's suggestion. Unlike other generals, he had a comprehensive view of the entire situation in Tessie, and it was precisely because of this that he was very concerned about the opening of the Phoenician Canal. Because as long as the canal can be opened, then the new warships that have been training endlessly in the Persian sea can quickly enter the Mediterranean, and then with the containment of the new warships, Daqin's naval fleet will lose its effect, and even if necessary, its own side can use the fleet to attack Daqin in turn, so as to quickly turn the tide.

"Due to the depletion of the empire's military resources some time ago, and the holy war held on the Pope's side, the 100,000 people who originally gathered in Egypt to build the canal were successively transferred, and only 30,000 or 40,000 people remained, and the speed of canal digging was greatly slowed down. Fortunately, after the Battle of Phoenicia, we handed over nearly 40,000 prisoners of war to the Tang Dynasty, and we barely managed to get the number together. However, according to the progress of Datang's briefing to us, they have now connected the Great Bitter Lake with Lake Tim Sah in the north, which means that the canal can now directly reach the vicinity of Lake Tim Sah from Suez in the south. "I expect to be in the Baihra region by at least the end of March. ”

"That's not far from it." Amdullah sighed a little unwillingly: "If their speed can be faster, we can afford to wait, but at the current speed, I'm afraid that Datang will not be able to complete the canal before the end of the year." But we can't wait. ”

"So what are we going to do with the big food?" Ayebi also knew that far water could not quench the thirst of the near, and at this time, the national situation of the Great Eclipse had reached the point of being at a critical point, and it would be more dangerous for the army to stay in the Bosphorus for one more day.

"At present, there are three ways, one is to negotiate with the Great Qin people, delay the time until the end of the year, and wait until the Tang Dynasty opens the Phoenician Canal, and then we will make a comeback." Amdullah shook his head and said, "This one seems to be the most beneficial to us, but the Great Qin people will definitely not agree. Secondly, it is to ask Datang for help, hoping that they can intervene in Taixi and send troops from the north to attack Daqin, attract their attention to the east, and give us a little time to prepare. The last one is a detour to the eastern shore of the Black Sea. After Amdullah finished speaking, everyone smiled bitterly. At present, it seems that only one of these three methods will be difficult to achieve, whether it is to let Daqin stop the army or let Datang intervene, even if they agree, it will not be possible to do it in a short time. However, Ayebi didn't think so, but said with a serious face: "General Amdullah, I'm going to try it anyway." You try to stabilize the front during this time, I need to go to Datang immediately. ”

"If Your Excellency can persuade the Tang Dynasty to join the war, it will really be the greatest hero of the empire." Ayebi's confident appearance made Amdullah shrug up, stood up and grabbed Ayebi's hand, and his voice was slightly excited.

After discussing the strategy, Ayebi immediately set off from Central Asia and made a detour to Datang. And Amdullah obviously did not pin all his hopes on the Tang Dynasty, so immediately after Ayebi left, a meeting of senior generals was convened to find a way to continue to cross the strait and attack Byzantium. These days of fighting have made the Great Cannibal basically figure out Daqin's strategy, that is, relying on naval warships to carry out non-stop patrols throughout the strait to prevent their own smuggling.

"The Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara plus the Dardanelles to the east are connected by sea, and if we want to attack Byzantium, the Bosphorus is the most convenient. But we know and that Daqin also knows this, so Eridogan's naval fleet has now sailed into the Sea of Marmara, almost cruising between the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea, and we don't have any good way at all. One of the generals stood up and was about to complain, but Amdullah suddenly remembered something, so he interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and walked up and down alone in the tent, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Since Eridogan has sailed in all his fleet, let's try to find a way from somewhere else." ”

"Is Your Excellency the General planning to adopt the method of His Excellency Ayebi? A detour to the eastern shore of the Black Sea? At the speed of our cavalry, it would take at least ten to twenty days to make a detour to the east coast and then make a detour, and this was still without any obstacles. Once they are blocked halfway through, we will inevitably fall into a two-front battle. The previous general seemed a little surprised by Amdullah's approach, and stood up and objected: "Although Ah Ye is kinder than Your Excellency, he does not know the situation on our front, so with all due respect, I cannot agree with him." As soon as his words were spoken, almost all the generals present supported him. However, Amdullah didn't care, but interrupted the discussion of the generals present: "Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't want to follow the will of Your Excellency Ayebi, Ayebi's ability in government affairs is much stronger than in military affairs, but Ulam's words just now made me think of another way. Amdullah pulled open the hanging map and said with a smile: "Everyone, please see, at present, whether it is the Great Qin people or ourselves, all the attention and forces are concentrated on both sides of the Bosphorus, and even the only fleet of our two countries has sailed into the Sea of Marmara because of our large army to prevent us from crossing the strait to attack Byzantium." Amdullah said: "It is precisely because of this that His Excellency Ayebi proposed the method of detouring to the east coast of the Black Sea, but as Ulam said, there are too many variables to detour to the east coast of the Black Sea, and it will not be able to achieve our goal. But if we don't make a detour to the eastern shore of the Black Sea, then why can't we follow the example of the Great Qin people who did before the Central Asia Peninsula, secretly drawing troops from the front line and detouring to the west to the Dardanelles or directly by sea? The Great Qin Navy is currently all in the Sea of Marmara, and as long as we can maintain enough pressure, then for the sake of Byzantium's security, Elidogan will not have the spare energy to focus on other regions. As long as we can plan well, we will be able to cross the strait and go north in a short period of time, and attack the Great Qin mainland from another direction. "Amdullah's method is actually nothing new, after all, the Great Qin people have finished a hand under the noses of their group of people before, and they have played very well, directly completely reversing the situation between the two countries in a short period of time. So Amdullath repeatedly decided to do the same. It's just that some things can't be stopped, and if Amdullah wants to complete this strategy of hiding from the world, he needs to prepare for it, but I'm afraid that it will be more rigorous and more difficult than the previous Great Qin people. However, at present, they have no better way to deal with the Strait of Persepulis, so everyone was in the eyes of Amdullah's speech, and everyone immediately began to supplement this strategy, so this meeting lasted all morning, but it also made Amdullah's proposal fully refined and turned into a complete plan.

"Ulam, you will secretly concentrate the three corps of cavalry, three corps of muskets and three artillery brigades that have withdrawn to the rear, and secretly advance towards the vicinity of the Dardanelles by day and night." Amdullah said: "I will ask a part of the logistics team to find a suitable smuggling point near the Dardanelles in advance, and then build rafts and other sea-crossing tools in advance, and wait until you arrive immediately to start crossing the sea at night, after crossing the sea, your task is to attack Byzantium at all costs, and completely disrupt their deployment on our side for me." ”

After Amdullah explained the general named Ullam, who had spoken earlier, he continued: "In order not to arouse the ideas of the Great Qin people, we also have to try our best to attract the attention of the Great Qin people, so that they always feel that all we have to think about is how to cross the Bosphorus and press it from the front. So I decided that we would continue to manufacture sea-crossing tools, and then carry out sea-crossing operations, and let go of the reconnaissance of our former army by the Daqin spies, so that they could identify it. So I'm personally responsible for that. ”

In the days that followed, Amdullah carried out a large-scale raft-making campaign, almost cutting down the forests near the Black Sea in Central Asia, and a large amount of wood was quickly made along the Black Sea coast and began to gather towards the narrowest part of the Bosphorus, this time Amdullah also planned to use this opportunity to attract the attention of the other party to experiment with a new idea. This time, on the night of March 20, the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, taking advantage of the dim moonlight, thousands of rafts began to form a large arrangement in this narrowest place, which was only six or seven miles away, and he planned to lay out a path of rafts above the sea. As long as Elidogan can't blow up these rafts in time, then he will actually be able to directly break through the strait limits.

Amdullah's idea was discovered early the next morning, when the rafts had just been laid, and a large number of warships immediately began to bombard intensively, and the sound of cannons above the sea shook the sky, and huge columns of water continued to rise on the surface of the sea. And Amdullah was not to be outdone, and he had already placed his artillery team on the coastline in advance, and engaged in a large-scale artillery battle with Elidogan. By the afternoon of the battle, Eridogan had managed to defeat almost all of Amdullah's rafts, but he had lost five of his own ships and had Amdullah take the opportunity to send some of his troops to the other side. Because the Great Qin Army on the opposite side did not expect this at all, they almost watched as this small force of nearly a thousand people disappeared on the shore. This scene made Elidoan, who was on the front line, frown suddenly. He didn't know what Amdullah's intentions were, but the more than 1,000 people had really come ashore. Almost the end of March, Amdullah began to implement this tactic almost every other day, and became more and more comfortable than the first time, even smuggling part of his army ashore in the dark. Eridogan's naval warships were even attracted to the front of the two armies, and the Great Qin Army on the opposite side had also begun to draw a large number of troops to strangle these Great Food troops who had smuggled ashore these days. The entire front line was disrupted by Amdullah's tactics, which he knew were unlikely to succeed. But unlike the others, Elidogan doesn't believe that Amdullah's true purpose is to do useless work. On the contrary, he was deeply worried about the small-scale smuggling method of as few as a thousand or more than a thousand people at a time, as long as the Great Qin Army could not exterminate these people, then the small amount would add up, and one day these people would gather together to form a huge force, which would completely affect the Byzantine royal city in the distance. So after once again thwarting Amdullah's raft crossing tactics, Elidogan began to land, and he went to the army commander to find a way to stop the cannibalism.

However, at this time, in the Great Food Barracks, Ulam had also secretly left with the cavalry corps, and the second batch of musket corps and artillery brigade also quietly disappeared from the Master Barracks in the following days, replaced by an empty camp quietly surrounded by Amdullah.

"Guys, we'll try again tomorrow." Amdullah said to everyone again: "As of today, we have sent more than 15,000 people to the other side, and they will definitely greatly disrupt the deployment of the Great Qin Army. So I think this time we will definitely be able to send more troops, and then these people will definitely be more powerful than other armies. ”

"Your Excellency General, please rest assured, we have prepared much more rafts this time than last time, and we can gather directly in front of the camp if we set off from the Black Sea and go down the river." Amdullah nodded, satisfied with the answer. He wanted to use this method to cast smoke bombs, completely so that the attention of Elidogan and the Great Qin army was completely restrained by himself and the Great Food Army that came ashore, only in this way could the smuggling troops of Ulam be able to succeed at one time downstream, and only in this way could they complete the tactical planning of the sneak attack on Byzantium.
