It is not too much for the Qin family to have their own ambitions for the West, and in this era, what enterprising prince does not have his own ambitions.

This is an era of no rules, but also an era of careerists, and every monarch who aspires to make a difference wants to leave his own footprint in this era.

The Qin family is just one of them.

Of course, unlike Qin Ming and Qin Fang's father and son, Ma Zhong, who is also under Li Zhe, has no such ambitions. This is a man who values responsibility and loyalty far more than his own gains and losses.

At least for now, Ma Zhong is only focusing on the matter in front of him.

The fleet sailed on the sea surface of the Persian Gulf, the water vapor was thick on the sea, and the Persian Gulf in the middle of summer really lived up to its name, and the high temperature on the sea could almost steam the Japanese soldiers on this sea. Rao is from the tropics, but I also feel a little unbearable.

If it was possible, Ma Zhong would definitely not be willing to march by sea, but there was no way, and under the current situation, his Japanese army could only rush to Babylon as quickly as possible by sea.

The Persian Gulf is located between the Persian Plateau and the Tianfang Peninsula, and is the fastest passage for Tianzhu to reach the front line, so even if it has long been known that this sea is hot and humid in summer, the Japanese army still has to choose this method. But it also made the soldiers under his command really feel that this place is worthy of its reputation.

The Persian Gulf, the charming bay of a legendary and beautiful country, a weeping nightingale full of vicissitudes of time. Roses and poetry merge here, passionate and tragic, and blood is the theme here. A short stretch of sea has witnessed too many pasts, history, joys and sorrows.

Undoubtedly, the shores of the Persian Gulf are also one of the oldest origins of human civilization.

However, all the way to the sea, Ma Zhong and his subordinates did not have such leisure and elegance.

The heat and humidity made the soldiers eager to fly across the sea with their wings on their wings.

Fortunately, in human society, soldiers are always the most tolerant of hardships in this society, so even if they go all the way, they have not let too many soldiers in the army be attritional, at most it is just a demoralization caused by some extreme heat.

So in the end, it was easy to understand the cheers among the soldiers when they stood on the boat and finally saw the port of Faou at the end of the sea.

The port of Faou was only a stopover for the soldiers on this journey, where they would land for Basra and eventually reach the front line of Mosul where the front line confronted Byzantium.

The soldiers carefully sorted out their backpacks, ammunition and guns on the boat, and then disembarked in an orderly row. The harbor was already crowded with soldiers, artillery and ships.

This time, the Japanese army dispatched two compartments, and more than 20,000 people arrived here in two groups of ships.

In the harbor, the natives of Porto Faw watched in horror as this army arrived, holding the Japanese army's neat uniforms, uniform equipment, muskets and cannons piled up on the harbor docks like a hill, and steamships that roared like terror, all shocked these people, and brought boundless fear to these people, for them, this was simply an army from hell.

At the port, Ma Zhong received news from the Qin army's remaining army that the Byzantine army deployed in Asia Minor was unsurprisingly increasing, but until now, there was no sign of war.

From the intelligence of the front, it was learned that the general of the Byzantine Empire, who would fight against Ma Zhong in Asia Minor this time, would be the famous general Heraclius. This general, whose name is the same as the first emperor of the Byzantine Empire, came from a famous family, and indeed has the blood of the royal family of the Heraclius dynasty in his body.

However, the current Byzantium is no longer the Byzantium of the Heraclius dynasty, and Heracliu, who was born in the royal family of the Heraclius dynasty, is of course no longer a royal bloodline.

The Byzantine Empire, one of the oldest states in the world today, has a history full of untold sordid and bloodshed. After nearly a thousand years of war, intrigue and betrayal of the past, the current ruler and the royal family of the Heraclius dynasty have long been not related to each other.

Chiracl was able to have the position he is in now, completely relying on his own military exploits to climb up from the bottom little by little.

Such a famous general is certainly worthy of Ma Zhong's attention, but when he read the information on the troops under Heraclius, he immediately threw such thoughts into the Persian Gulf.

What is all this?

Knights of Antioch?

Armenian hoplite regiment!

And the Anatolian light infantry regiments, the Rus heavy infantry regiments, and what else? Bulgarian Musketeer Regiment?

The military system of the Byzantine Empire stunned Ma Zhong and his men, is this enemy they will face a hodgepodge of feelings?

The monarchs of the East understood the dangers of this hodgepodge army thousands of years ago.

What fighting power can a rabble of people from different places, who have never been united, fight in modern warfare?

And what made the generals even more ridiculous were the names of these Byzantine armies!

What knights, heavy infantry, light infantry...... What is it? Is this the Byzantine general on the other side showing off to them the traditions of the ancient times of their Byzantine army?

Showing off how powerful they once were?

This time the Japanese army is to fight against such an army?

This is even worse than the backward steppe Hu people in the north.

The military modernization reform has long been completed, and there is a strange curiosity about these names that can only be seen in the wars of ancient times, what kind of heavy infantry on the battlefield can withstand muskets and artillery? All right! The Byzantines on the opposite side didn't know that they had finally used this strange way to arouse the fighting spirit of the generals of the Tianzhu Army.

After reading it, putting down the information, Ma Zhong didn't know what kind of feeling he had,

"Hey! God! ”

The big-mouthed Wang Degong directly shouted excitedly:

"Are we fighting against the ancient Roman legions?"

Everyone thought about it, huh? It seems that Lao Wang is not wrong.
