The military situation is urgent!

At the same time as he led his army into Mosul, he received a request for help from Aleppo, a hundred kilometers west of Mosul, where they were also under enemy attack, and the speed of the Byzantine army seemed to be more urgent than the Governor's Office thought.

The plan of the Governorate was to deploy the Japanese units to Syria and the front line of the confrontation between Babylon and Byzantium by 20 July at the latest, but in fact it was not until 15 July that the Byzantium offensive on the western front of the front was already showing signs of an offensive on Aleppo.

The Byzantium troops in Asia Minor were not many before, but before the war, there were 50,000 or 60,000 reinforcements in a hurry, and the troops in the hands of Heraclius were already 100,000 troops.

When an army of 100,000 was placed in a small triangular region such as Asia Minor, Syria, and Babylon, there was simply no room for maneuver.

Ma Zhong didn't understand what the handful of monarchs in Constantinople thought. It's really not a wise choice for them. There was an all-out war with Tianzhu, and it was this kind of gambling style that poured out, didn't Byzantium want to anger Tianzhu? Let the eyes of the top leaders of Tianzhu turn their eyes from the east to them?

Previously, the two countries actually shared a tacit agreement when it came to dividing up the remaining inheritance of the Ilkhanate. This can be seen from the fact that the commanders of both sides are carrying out the demarcation of the border.

The Byzantines were by no means as ignorant of Tianzhu as their relatives in Western Europe, even if they had never really faced the Tianzhu army, but they should also know the name of the Marquis of Tianfang under Tianzhu.

The Qin family of Tianfang Hou has a great reputation in the area where Asia, Africa, Europe and the Mediterranean Sea meet. Those tribes who used to rob and wander in this area were invincible to the Qin family's Feixiong army.

Around the Mediterranean, Byzantium and the Qin family were not without contact, and from the glimpse of the small friction between the two sides that occurred in the Mediterranean, we can also see the strength of the Tianzhu people in the East.

And the Qin family is just one of the several marquis under the throne of Queen Tianzhu!

From this, one can imagine the strong pressure that will be exerted on the West once Tianzhu becomes serious.

Even the terrible Ilkhanate, which had swept through the countries of West Asia, collapsed in the face of the Tianzhu army with just a push, and the Byzantines couldn't tell which was stronger and which was weak?

However, Tianzhu's soldiers have not been facing further west, and Byzantium knows it, otherwise in the battle of the Ilkhanate to destroy the country, the Byzantines would not have been able to go out of the Asia Minor Peninsula so easily and penetrate their tentacles into Asia.

This is also because Tianzhu's national strategy has always been to look to the north and the east.

Tianzhu can be said to have shown his sincerity to Byzantium in this area, but he didn't expect to be hit by the Byzantines, which really surprised Ma Zhong and others.

Investing nearly 100,000 troops in this war, the Byzantines asked for in this war is not simple!

The situation here did not seem to be as agreed upon by the Governor before the departure, but only a limited local war like the Battle of the Two Kings of Manchuria.

These situations need to be reported back to the rear as soon as possible and made known to the Grand Governor.

As for whether this will disrupt the deployment of the rear and lead to a change in Tianzhu's entire national strategy, it is unknown. After all, he Ma Zhong is only a general at most, and he doesn't need to think too much about things related to politics and people's livelihood.

Ma Zhong remembered the various voices that gradually gathered around him with his rise in Mengzhou. Many of them have ulterior motives.

What a talent, what a country's dry city!

No, it's not!

Ma Zhong deeply knew that he was by no means like what was said outside, a military genius from an unknown background who had a clear eye for Jin Congjian.

He can have today, it can be said that every step he takes is based on closely following the Metropolitan Governor, and learning from the Metropolitan Governor little by little by the Governor's side.

Therefore, no matter how many people outside made noise in his ears, it was impossible for him Ma Zhong to change his loyalty to the Grand Duke.

Yes, my Ma Zhong is foolish and loyal to the governor!

So what?

Ma Zhong, who has left the Grand Governor, is not Ma Zhong, although Ma Zhong claims that he is not smart, but he also understands this truth.

What's more, following the Governor for so long, Ma Zhong felt that he understood Li Zhe's ambition better than anyone else, he knew that the Governor had a big picture in his chest that ordinary people couldn't imagine, and he also wanted to see the future that Li Zhe promised them in the future? How could he have a different heart for Li Zhe.

Some people are overthinking.

Ma Zhong felt a lot of emotion in his mind, but it did not prevent him from soberly controlling the entire battle situation.

On the Mosul front, where Ma Zhong will be in charge, he needs a box, and in Aleppo, it is enough to send out a box of reinforcements. In this way, together with the local garrisons left behind in Syria and Babylon, Ma Chung was able to maintain the front line with the Byzantines on the front line as a whole.

In this way, 20,000 against 100,000, the comparison of troops on the battlefield seems to be huge, but in fact it is nothing to praise the Japanese army.

For more than a year, following Li Zhenan to fight in the north, in which battle, everyone was not outnumbered, and in which battle, everyone did not beat the enemy to the ground. A new army equals victory! If there is anything that everyone has learned from Li Zhe, it is that after countless victories, everyone is now full of confidence in Li Zhe's military reform.

The current Tianzhu army, under the same conditions, is invincible on the battlefield of this era.

As long as the commander does not make too many mistakes in strategy and tactics, he can win almost any enemy in a crushing way.

This fact has been proven by countless examples on the battlefield.

Therefore, this war, even knowing that the Byzantines' forces were beyond expectations, would not make Ma Zhong and his generals lose the courage to face the enemy.

More enemies will only increase everyone's military exploits for the Japanese army, and this confidence has been firmly established in the impression of the Japanese officers.

"Wang Degong?"

"In!"

"Then I'm going to rely on you on the Western Front this time."

At the critical moment, Ma Zhong still believes in his old partner.

"Don't worry! Old horse! ”

A salute, Wang Degong, who has been promoted to any of the commanders, is not polite, and as soon as he finished talking to Ma Zhong, he went out with his head held high and led the troops out of the city, as relaxed as going out to hunt in the wild in winter.
