Regardless of whether Elidogan finally figured out how to deal with the ancient empire from the east one day, the army that Great Qin had drawn from Central Asia Minor began to be constantly transported by his naval fleets and convoys and then quickly transported to the west. All the way from Central Asia to the Mediterranean, except for the need to maneuver in the southern part of the Apennine Peninsula, that is, near Taranto, and mobilize warships to carry out sea interdiction, it was almost a straight sail, and the soft sails characteristic of Tessy could bring greater power to the sailing ships, so the speed of Elidogan's party was very fast, and after three consecutive transports, nearly 150,000 troops were sent to the vicinity of Nice at full speed. Eridoan, who had completed his mission, was not much happy. Instead, he turned around and planned to lead the fleet south, trying to meet the Great Qin army that remained in Egypt at this time.

However, Eridoan also knew that he was only afraid that he would go south at this time, and after more than a month, it was already February of the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, and the part of the army he left behind had already been completely wiped out by the Great Cannibals. The reason why he wanted to go south was just in case, thinking that in case the big cannibals did not rush to attack, then maybe some of the army could survive.

Eridogan did guess correctly, at this time, the Great Qin army in Egypt did remain, but it was not because the Great Cannibal did not attack and made a battlefield miscalculation, but because of something else. It's just that before he had time to go south, he received an order from the royal court again.

Rewind a month, and when Eridogan began its first transport mission, almost all of the Great Qin Army in Egypt thought that it would be not long before they would receive more reinforcements, and that Phoenicia would still fall into their hands thanks to the countless guns on the naval warships. Therefore, the morale of the more than 30,000 Great Qin Army stationed at the port of Phoenicia was high, relying on the sufficient supplies and ammunition left by Elidogan, the 30,000 Army Army repelled the continuous attacks of the Great Cannibals for several days after actively digging fortifications, forcing the Great Eater Army of Phoenicia City to be on guard day and night while attacking, to prevent the other side from raiding into the city at any time. After all, this tactic has been perfectly interpreted by the Tang army in front of the warring parties, so the Dashi army does not dare to slack off at all. And most importantly, the upheaval in Phoenicia also spread to the Great Qin army in other places in the following days, and learned that their logistics base was occupied by the Great Cannibals, and these troops began to return to Phoenicia from different directions and places. In this way, relying on sufficient supplies and a steady stream of troops from other places to shrink and rush to support, the Great Qin army even began to launch a counteroffensive in the middle of the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse. Although in the field, the Great Qin army is not the opponent of the Great Cannibal. But in the square inch of the port wharf, the powerful Great Food Cavalry has no way to use it at all, which is tantamount to self-defeating martial arts. At this time, Daqin's heavy armored corps, coupled with a steady stream of artillery fire and the support of the musket team, gradually gained the upper hand, and once attacked near the city wall, destroying the city fortifications that had just been repaired again. But seeing that the situation was precarious, the Great Cannibal once again staged the same kind of deadly suicide tactics as before, and a steady stream of soldiers with explosives bags rushed towards the crowd of the Great Qin army, and then regardless of life and death, they pulled the lead and died with the other party. In this way, the casualties of the Great Qin army increased sharply, and the morale was gradually consumed under the continuous blows of the great cannibals who stepped forward at every turn and fought for their own consumption, and the two sides once again returned to the previous stalemate.

Seeing that they couldn't take down the Great Qin people for a while, the Great Cannibals began to draw troops from all directions to step forward, and finally had such a good opportunity, how could they give up. The war in Egypt was very aggrieved from the beginning, and the combat power of the named own army was much stronger than that of the other side, and the tactics were more flexible than the other side, but the fight was pressed by the other side, and the most important thing was that after losing the navy, his side lost several large cities including Phoenician City one after another, and the situation can be described as precarious. If it weren't for the last-minute Tang army inexplicably sending troops to defeat Phoenicia, I'm afraid that I would still be pressed and beaten by the Great Qin army at this moment, right?

When the Great Cannibal was unwilling and began to continuously draw troops from all over the country to gather in Phoenicia, Pang Lingming and Li Shaozhou, who had just returned to the north shore of the Great Bitter Lake, also received a report from the secret guard, sending over the arrangements of Eridoan and the results of the battle between the Great Qin army and the Great Eclipse army outside the Phoenician city in adversity. And at the same time, a complete battalion of soldiers on the side of Suez City also began to arrive one after another, and the military order began to move rapidly northward almost in Pang Lingming's hands with the intelligence of the secret guard.

"Shao Zhou, have your prisoners of war been handed over? What did Minister Lin say? Pang Lingming, who was in deep thought, saw Li Shaozhou walk in and hurriedly asked. After Zhang Sheng fought independently when he left, Pang Lingming also changed a lot, at least this brain turned much faster than before.

"Minister Lin must be happy, I arranged two teams of soldiers to guard these more than 1,000 prisoners of war and then drove them to work on the construction site. What Minister Lin meant was that if there were still prisoners of war in the future, the more the better. Li Shaozhou took the information and orders handed over by the other party, and said casually while reading them: "He can't wait to treat you and me as human traffickers." Why did the rear suddenly increase troops? Your Anxi Corps has pulled out another battalion all of a sudden, and our Marine Corps will also send manpower over, what is the idea of this commander and the general system? Is this to take advantage of the chaos to take Egypt? Otherwise, why do you need so many troops? ”

"If you want an army, you will naturally have to fight, but it may not be now." Pang Lingming didn't figure it out, but like Li Shaozhou, it was unreasonable for the navy and army to mobilize troops on such a large scale without fighting. And the military order is not clearly written, so the only explanation is that the time has not yet come. However, since the time has not come, he has time to act as a trafficker and solve the problem of labor shortage for the engineering team. So Pang Lingming rolled his eyes and smiled: "Shao Zhou, don't worry about the army in the rear, they are no worse than you and me, they definitely know what to do." Didn't you just say that Minister Lin is still short of manpower? I know that there are people in one place, and if nothing else, there are 30,000 or 40,000 people, right? How about you want to catch it with me? ”

"Thirty or forty thousand? Where did you find the few tribal tribes of the Great Cannibals? Most of this Egypt is surrounded by great deserts, how can there be such a large tribe and a tribe with such a population? Is it possible to go to the upper reaches of the Nile? Li Shaozhou put the order aside and began to check the information sent by the secret guard, and after saying a word casually, he suddenly raised his head and said, "You won't have the idea of these tens of thousands of Great Qin troops, right?" Tell you, it's okay for us to have a surprise attack with 20,000 people, but if we really want to fight hard, we can't tear our faces and turn our faces with the big cannibals? ”

"Who's going to turn against them?" Pang Lingming looked at Li Shaozhou with some hatred for iron and steel, "I mean, we worked hard to conquer Phoenicia City for them, shouldn't the big cannibals give something in return?" Didn't their messenger come to inquire about the situation in a roundabout way? You go and tell him directly, and say that we have been idle for a long time, so we will come out to do activities, but since the city of Phoenicia is occupied by them, we should give us some money to send troops, and we can't work for them in vain. Pang Ling understood that Sensen's teeth showed the appearance of a profiteer, "Shao Zhou, you go and tell him that you will either return the Phoenician city to us, or pay a sufficient price." ”

"Lao Pang, I'll write a report to you when I go back, and let you retire to become a profiteer. You turned around eight times, and you actually hit the idea on the Great Qin army, and I also obeyed you. Li Shaozhou couldn't help but laugh and said, "Plan to let the big cannibals catch the prisoners for us?" ”

"Shao Zhou, you have finally opened your mind, you go and tell the Great Emissary to either return the city of Phoenicia to me, or take me prisoner of the Great Qin army entrenched on the docks of Phoenician Harbor. Tell them that we will count the numbers one by one, and if there are less than 40,000 people, let them make up for it with their own people. Otherwise, don't blame me for tearing up the ticket. Pang Lingming's nondescript words made Li Shaozhou bend down with a smile in an instant, and only then did he suddenly remember that this guy was called "Tang Kou" in the northwest before joining the Tiance Army, no wonder he spoke with a gangster. However, he does have an appetite for himself, and Li Shaozhou dares to guarantee that Lin Yuantu will definitely agree with Pang Lingming's opinion. As for whether this will lead to a diplomatic conflict, it will definitely be ignored directly, and the Tang Empire still needs to look at the eyes of others at this moment?

The scene that happened in Egypt began after Pang Lingming and Li Shaozhou found the messenger of Da Shi, and the Great Qin army completely embarked on a different path after being taken by Pang Lingming, and also completely changed its fate. Although the great cannibals in Phoenicia were angry after receiving the notice from their envoy, they really agreed after thinking about it, and then tried to send people to persuade the Great Qin army to surrender. After the other side refused, he ordered a massive artillery bombardment, and then forced the cavalry to rush up along the gap in the fortifications blown by the artillery, and the two sides fought for most of the day near the small port. The Great Eclipse cavalry braved huge casualties and rushed into the opponent's large array, killing thirteen generals of the opponent's army, before completely dispelling the opponent's resistance. As a result, the Great Cannibal really completed the task that Pang Lingming "explained", and escorted all the more than 45,000 surrendered Daqin soldiers to the south near the Great Bitter Lake and handed them over to Li Shaozhou.

At this time, Li Shaozhou saw this endless captive and had long forgotten all about the previous incident, and urgently arranged for all his troops to come forward to receive the prisoners, and then pulled the leading generals who came to hand over the big food to ask for warmth, and said that he needed these prisoners of war in order to enter the canal as soon as possible, and also to reduce the burden of the Great Food Empire. After waiting for a lot of words, the thirtie-year-old general of the Great Food was dizzy, and really believed the other party's nonsense, and handed over these prisoners of war to the other party with confidence, which also provided enough reasons and excuses for the Tang Dynasty to interfere in the situation in Taixi later.

However, at this time, after such a scene, the Great Cannibal had no mind to think about why the Great Qin Navy did not come to reinforce as expected. Even now, the New Year is coming to an end, and there is still no movement on the sea.

On the one hand, after quickly reporting to the headquarters of the Western Expeditionary Army, a battalion of the Anxi Corps that had already left for the north to bring orders to the two of them, these more than 40,000 prisoners of war should not be abused, and their lives should be guaranteed while they were digging canals. As soon as this order was passed into the hands of Li Shaozhou and Pang Lingming, the two of them immediately guessed that they were not far from ten, and immediately went out to find Lin Yuantu to tell him about it.

At this time, the big cannibal didn't have the heart to care why the Tang Dynasty in the south suddenly increased its troops. Because although Great Qin played all the tricks on the frontal battlefield in Central Asia and made constant feints, after losing as many as 150,000 troops at once, he was finally detected by the Great Cannibal. Although I can't guess what Great Qin is doing with so many troops, the Great Cannibal still adheres to the principle of taking advantage of your illness and wants your life to launch attacks continuously, trying to take advantage of the current situation of the opponent's shortage of troops to solve the current stalemate situation as much as possible, and really push the war to the vicinity of Byzantium.

The idea of the Great Cannibal is indeed correct, because these 150,000 people disappeared without a trace under the operation of Elidoan, except for the Xuan Ying Guard, who had planted people in Great Qin in advance to obtain the news, no one knew about it at all, and even many people in Great Qin knew nothing about it. Therefore, although the Great Qin army retreated from the frontal battlefield, the appearance of these 150,000 men from Nice and then on the Gallic battlefield completely changed the situation of the war in Gaul. The Great Food Expeditionary Legion, which was already at a numerical disadvantage, could no longer withstand the huge support of 150,000 troops that had suddenly increased from the other side, and it was also from the flank and rear that they did not expect. This legion, which had fought fiercely since its inception but continued to create victories, was surrounded. It was only then that the news began to spread from Gaul, and after it was confirmed by the Phoenician side of Egypt, the whole situation in Tessi was completely reversed.

By the time the news reached Central Asia, although the frontal troops of the Great Eclipse had reached less than a hundred miles outside the Byzantine city, they still could not save the expeditionary army from destruction. After losing this partial division, although the Great Cannibals won victory on the frontal battlefield, the entire strategic situation was suddenly extremely bad, which even the commanders and generals with the front line clearly understood. Now there is only one way, that is, to go to the end, to take Byzantium as quickly as possible, and destroy the Great Qin Royal Court, in order to save the situation.
