Compared with the choppy ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, which has almost been used as its own footwash by the Great Qin Empire in the past few centuries, seems much calmer, at least there are not so many winds and waves, and even many times the waves are as smooth as a mirror, so that a few Flying Eagle Brigade soldiers lurking on the coastline and waiting for something feel very strange, and feel that there is such a big difference in the sea in the middle of the world. Because the Flying Eagle Brigade is an imperial special operations brigade formed by Li Xuanqing with the concept of special operations in later generations, these members of the team have experienced almost all the tests of geographical environment, and the sea is nothing to them, and even many of the team members are not much better than the most elite sailors of the navy. A small team of people in the third brigade has been lurking on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea for nearly ten days, and there is no coolness on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea in September, this area is still a damn desert area, so it is hard for these guys, not only to run around for a livelihood every day, but also to keep an eye on the sea at all times, remembering the orders from Xuan Yingwei's side before.

"I mean, boss, is the intelligence of those people in the secret guard real? It's been almost ten days, so let our brothers eat the sand in this desert for so many days, is it possible to be tricked? The captain of the squad was taking a few people to go fishing in the sea to see if they could catch some fish for the tooth sacrifice, but a member of the team next to him complained while playing in the sand on the beach, and counted all the suffering they had suffered these days on the head of the dark guard.

"Old Baitiao, I'll tell you to shut up that stinky mouth for me, this is the order of the Great Commander of Qin," the squad leader didn't raise his head and directly slammed back, "polish your pair of tricks for me, count the days in these days, and the crusaders should arrive." As soon as their ships reach the ferry to the west, our days will be over, and the time will come to follow these guys. Let me tell you, there are many treasures in this Jerusalem city, and the captain will follow these people in, and there will be secret guards in the city to answer them, and our task is to put all the valuable treasures back. ”

"Please, boss, my old white eyes are not for nothing." The team member named Lao Baitiao pretended to look at the sea, and was about to continue talking, when he was suddenly stunned.

"What's the matter, old Baitiao, what the hell are you seeing? How-" The team leader suddenly stopped saying nothing when he heard Lao Baitiao, and thought that this guy was playing some tricks, so he heard Lao Baitiao suddenly say: "Captain, there is a white sail over there, could it be that the Holy See army is coming?" Lao Baitiao pointed to the limit of the sea level and said: "You see those little white dots are moving slowly, it seems that there are a lot of them, and you should see that a fleet is coming." ”

Lao Baitiao's words made the surrounding lazy Flying Eagle Brigade soldiers all run to the beach in an instant, and began to look for the white spots that Lao Baitiao said, and the team leader led by him directly took out a special claircopy specially made for the Flying Eagle Brigade because his eyesight was not as perverted as Lao Baitiao, and he looked at it for a long time and said: "Sure enough, it is a fleet, and it looks like a disorganized ship, with ships of different sizes, but it is also their Tessie's ship type." Tell everyone to get ready immediately, and if they come to the shore, we'll follow them immediately. The Nineteen-Eighty-Nine Crusaders are just that. As soon as the captain's voice fell, the group of soldiers almost didn't need any urging and immediately went to the depths of the desert like arrows from the string, and only Lao Baitiao and the team leader were still monitoring the fleet on the huge beach, but the two of them no longer dared to stand on the beach in a grand manner, but found a small slope to lie on the ground.

"Chief, I've seen the papal emblem on the masts of these Tessie ships, so I can't tell if these ships were for Crusaders transporting soldiers." Lao Baitiao looked at it for a while and said, "But there seems to be a statue of their sea god on the bow of their ship, and it seems that it came from that place called Athens." "Old Whitestripe obviously knew a lot about Tessie, and could guess from the appearance of some of the ships that they came from Athens.

"You're right, old Baitiao, I saw these guys with weapons in their hands, and there were more and more people on deck, and it looked like they were ready to go ashore. But it doesn't seem to be going to the ferry, it should be coming to the shallows on our side. The team leader had a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, so it was more obvious to see, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at Lao Baitiao and the two of them immediately got up and ran towards the rear. If this group of troops really rushed to the beach here, then they would definitely not be able to escape if they were still standing on the beach, so the two of them didn't want to run directly to the station and then urgently detour back to the north.

"Oh my god, these guys are really starting to rush to the beach. Boss, if we leave a quarter of an hour late, we will definitely be covered by them. Lao Baitiao followed the team leader and all the Flying Eagle Brigade soldiers in the distance to see the fleet sail to the beach where they had been stationed before, and then countless figures began to get down from the boat, wading through the half-human high sea water and starting to land.

"They're Crusaders, and you can see that their crusader flag matches the information from the Dark Guard. It's just that this place is fifty miles from Jerusalem, and if there are people in the city who are looking down from a high position, there is no way to hide people from such an endless area. Are these people idiots? The team leader frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, can they capture the city and close us to anything?" I wish these guys were bleeding from their heads under the fortified city. Let's wait first, with their posture, it is estimated that there is no way to attack the city today, and we will hang behind them tomorrow to see the excitement first. Old Baitiao, you take a few people to enter their camp at night while it is dark, and find a way to find the captain and them, and the others will follow me to find the secret guard's contact point nearby, and we will make contact with the dark guard in advance. The captain and a few men walked away quickly, while the old white stripe watched the crusaders in the distance disembark on the beach in a chaotic manner, and then began to set up camp in a clearing near the sea on the edge of the desert. There was really no way, the large force of tens of thousands of Crusaders with logistics, food, weapons and equipment was loaded with more than 100 sea ships, and so many ships landed on this beach in two batches. Then the boats took advantage of the high tide to leave the shallow waters, but by the time everyone had disembarked, it was already dark, so the army rested there for the night and waited for the morrow on Jerusalem.

Lao Baitiao watched the noisy camp in the distance slowly quiet down, and then he and a few companions behind him hastily ate some dry food and entered the other party's camp in the dark. The various departments of the Flying Eagle Brigade basically have their own contact codes, so after Lao Baitiao entered the huge camp of tens of thousands of people, although it was a needle in a haystack, it was not too difficult to find it. It's just that these people are very puzzled by the ins and outs of this crusad, the Crusades have been preached on the Taixi side for more than a year, and the news that the Crusaders have traveled to several places is not a secret at all, but what makes everyone strange is that this time the action efficiency is much faster than that of Daqin's side, but the Great Food Empire has not moved much, and even the army in the territory has not had too many defensive movements because of this, only a few Heavenly Sect popes have issued religious calls, Some of the Heavenly Sect members were summoned to the vicinity of Jerusalem, and the rest were left alone. This is very puzzling for the Tang Dynasty, the Tiance Army and even the hidden Flying Eagle Brigade soldiers on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea at this time, the geographical location of Jerusalem is very important, once it is occupied by the Crusaders, then once the Great Food Army goes north from the mainland Baghdad directly north into the Central Asia Peninsula to attack Byzantium, the road will be blocked, even if it is a detour, it will face the danger of being cut off by the other party from the middle at any time, and after Jerusalem is occupied by the Crusaders, once there is emptiness near Baghdad, Then this army can go south at any time to capture Baghdad with lightning speed, complete the blow to the core of the Great Food Empire, and bring destruction to the Great Food Empire. Such an obvious position and vital point, all the Flying Eagle Brigade soldiers, including Lao Baitiao, don't believe that the high-level of the Great Food Empire can't see it, but the reality is that they don't care at all, could it be that there are other reasons in it?

With these questions, Lao Baitiao found Li San'er's location after touching in the crusader camp for half the night, and connected with the main force of the third brigade, but Li San'er obviously disdained Lao Baitiao's questions, and even didn't care at all, but asked the other party clearly about the terrain in Jerusalem.

"Boss, let's just go in tomorrow?" Lao Baitiao didn't understand it, and he simply didn't want to think about it, and began to care about the war that was destined to happen tomorrow, and asked: "With these people, as long as the defenders in Jerusalem are not made of tofu, they will definitely not be captured." Old Baitiao was obviously disdainful of the rabble outside, and pouted.

"Okay, it's none of our business whether they can take it down or not, anyway, we're just following behind." Li San'er sneered: "Besides, how do you know that the defenders in the city don't have their internal response?" This Jerusalem claims to be their holy city, and it is not only their religion, I heard that there are other religions, and there are too many involved, so it is not as simple as you think. Li San'er obviously knew a lot, but he didn't continue to say, and changed the topic after clicking a sentence, "What about Lao Jiu?" Why didn't he come? ”

"Our leader went to contact the dark guard, and the dark guard also needs to arrange it, after all, I heard that there are too many priceless treasures in the city, and if we don't arrange it, we are afraid that we will not be able to transport it back." As soon as Lao Baitiao got down to business, he immediately straightened the way.

"It's okay, I'm going to send someone to contact Commander Qin, so don't go back, join up with the big army." After Li San'er pondered for a long time, he immediately arranged for someone to quietly leave the camp and began to contact Qin Kong, who had arrived in Byzantium at this time, to report the news that the crusaders had landed. The crusader's military camp itself was laxly guarded, and it was actually the same for this group of soldier kings whether they were prepared or not, even the heavily guarded Great Qin Palace and the gang were always free.

Early the next morning, after resting for the night, the Crusaders began to set out for the south towards Jerusalem, where the smoke and dust raised by the march of tens of thousands of men could not be concealed. Even if you didn't notice the situation on the Jerusalem side yesterday, once the Crusaders marched, they could feel it even with their eyes closed. So when the Crusaders arrived at Jerusalem, the gates of the ancient city were closed, and the rows of archers and countless weapons defending the city were withdrawn by the countless panicked soldiers on the walls of the Western-style castle. Judging from the chaos at the scene, it seems that the soldiers defending the city may not be much better than the quality of the crusaders, but they have a strong city as a barrier, so these soldiers are somewhat less panicked, and they begin to stand on the tower with all kinds of weapons in their hands to prepare to defend the city and deal with the attacks of the army outside the city.

"I'm afraid these guys may not even figure out who is attacking the city, right?" The Third Brigade of the Flying Eagle Brigade led by Li San'er mixed with the rear of the Crusaders, and looked at the changes on the tower of Jerusalem in the distance and sneered.

"Boss, our boss is back." Lao Baitiao hurriedly rushed to Li San'er's side with his squad leader Lao Jiu and said with a smile: "Boss, why don't we find a chance to touch it in and prepare first?" ”

"It's windy, this is a good opportunity to siege the city." Li San'er saw that the wind blowing from the Mediterranean Sea blew the smoke and dust raised by the army directly into the city, and immediately smiled: "Yes, Lao Jiu, you have to enter the city with two squads, whether the siege is effective or not today." In addition, the secret guard was notified to summon the command of the Western Expeditionary Army, and it was said that the wind was blowing in Jerusalem, and the commander was asked to prepare early. Li San'er, on his side, gave orders in the midst of the Crusader army, not paying any attention to the Crusader soldiers around him who were holding a variety of weapons and began to slowly move according to various horns.

Five days later, when the news was continuously delivered to Wan Yi through the secret guard flying pigeon, Gauss Ji couldn't help but high-five and celebrated: "This has hung my appetite for several days, and I can finally relax today." Marshal, I immediately asked the Anxi Corps to concentrate a battalion of elite troops on urgent standby at the Anxi Prefecture side. ”

"The chief of staff immediately went to summon the secret guards, authorizing Qin Kong and Li San'er near Jerusalem to order all the imperial troops, officials and civilian caravans nearby, and when they didn't want, they could send people to contact the army on the side of Anxizhou, and they would transport this treasure back at all costs." Wan Yi took over the conversation and continued: "Anyway, Jerusalem is now a stuffy gourd with a lid, and no one wants to participate in it openly, so let's just fish in troubled waters." Wan Yi's order made everyone in the headquarters completely excited when they heard this.
