It had been two days since the king had re-arrived at the place where the Byzantines had ambushed him with two regiments of Japanese troops, and Dimiteus in the city of Azaz had thought for a long time, but after all, he did not dare to lead his army to stop him.

The situation of the Byzantine army in the city did not allow him to send troops. He knew that as soon as these soldiers left the city, they would probably collapse, and they were now scattered. What's more, there is another reason here for him to be jealous - it is not impossible for this partial division of the Song people to be a trap of the Song people, using a partial division to attract him out of the city, and then annihilate him in the field.

The previous battles had proved that it was difficult for his men to defeat the Song army in the field even when the morale was at its best, and now that the morale in the city was so low, it was even more impossible for him to lead his men to fight the Song army.

So everything can only rely on Heraclius.

He believed that Heraclius should be better off than on his side, and as the greatest general of Constantinople today, Heraclius had more control over his subordinates than he could not achieve with Demites.

This Song army is too small in number, and it should still be impossible to stop him. And then again, if the great Heraclius couldn't even deal with the enemy's partial division, then everyone should not join the division, and it would be better to disperse and flee, at least then there should always be a chance to return to Constantinople, and he, Dimitus, would not have to suffer so much here.

Dimites had to admit that he had begun to fear these terrible Song armies, which were like a hammer crushing their dreams of a resurgence of the Byzantines.

Wang Degong, the commander of this army that Dimiteus feared, was standing on a relatively high hill at this moment, looking at the battlefield they had fought on at that time, he was not afraid of the enemy's front and rear attacks, and dared to block the way of the enemy's large army with only two regiments.

I have to say that the place that Dimiters chose was very accurate, the northern section of Assad, this place happened to be the shortest distance in a straight line between the east and west battlefields.

From Babylon to Syria, the terrain is generally flat, and at most it is hilly and undulating, and it is difficult to find an ambush in such terrain, so it can be said that this is the most suitable location.

Because this means that any army that wants to get from the Eastern Front to the Western Front as quickly as possible will inevitably pass through here. Otherwise, an army of tens of thousands of men would have to take nearly two more days to bypass further north, which was impossible for the current Heraclius army.

Therefore, Wang Degong will definitely be able to block the enemy's way here. Just like Dimites must have been able to intercept him in the first place. However, Dimites did not expect that the combat power of the Japanese army would far exceed his expectations.

At this time, not long time has passed, the traces of the original war have not been hidden by the nature here, and the bones left behind by the original battle are still faintly exposed under the dust blown up in the sky, of course, the vast majority of people here are Byzantines.

As for the Japanese army's own, they were the victors in that battle, and of course they had the opportunity to clean up the battlefield, and when they left, they took the bones of the robes with them.

These Byzantines came here by crossing the Sea of Marmara thousands of miles away, but they did not expect to end up with such a fate.

That's what happens to the invaders.

He thought angrily, but after thinking about it, if Byzantium was an invader, then this year, under the guidance of the Grand Duke, their Tianzhu people fought everywhere in the north and south, won a large amount of territory, and even destroyed the state of the Ilkhanate, what is such an act.

No, the entry of others is an invasion, and the invasion of their Tianzhu is not an invasion! Besides, the territory under his feet that he had always thought was not strictly their land.

When he said this just now, he really had some of the self-righteous officials of the Central Dynasty who he used to scoff at on weekdays.

Now that it's his king's turn to take credit for his country, don't you think your own family is very noble?

With a snort, he laughed first.

O man! Why do you always look at people as righteous and awe-inspiring, but when it's your turn, you play with double standards.

It seems that he has won the credit of the king, including those under his command, and the young officers who are eager to hit Constantinople are also like this!

But then again, this kind of momentum is probably the general mentality of a newly rising power, and now Tianzhu from top to bottom, almost everyone is like this.

It's just that I am only allowed to bully you, but you can't bully me, if I bully you, it will be the way for heaven, if you bully me, it will be the kind of domineering that you will destroy yourself.

This is the mentality of a strong country, and it is also the logic that a strong country should have.

Ha ha! It's kind of interesting when you think about it.

If this is not the case, everything should be too fearful, and where do those big and powerful countries have so many reasons to expand and annex other countries?

After thinking about it so much, Wang Degong found that he was also a little too sentimental, where does this horse pedal need so many reasons and truths, such associations are too many and it is really not his Wang Degong's style!

If you don't accept it, you just do it!

This is what Wang Degong is best at, just like he now, with only two regiments in his hands and less than 5,000 men, he has to stop the advance of the enemy's main force on the Eastern Front.

In the distance, as time passed, da-da-da, da-da-da, dozens of cavalry appeared in the yellow sand of the Gobi, and it was the scouts he sent.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

In the wind and sand, the joyful shouts of the scouts brought hostile news!

……………………………………

Unbeknownst to Wang, there was a third force hidden in the battlefield he had prescribed, besides him and the Byzantines he was waiting for.

It was the West Asian people who had lived in the land for generations, and Osin Shafar and his father and a group of patriarchs of various tribes were also waiting for news.

These tribes included all the nearby tribes of West Asia, Jonah, Alec, and the good men of Northwest Syria, almost all of whom have gathered here today.

"Have you decided, everyone?"

"I'm not urging everyone, this is our best opportunity, otherwise, if we miss this time, it will be difficult for us to find such a good opportunity to show our strength and desire in the future."

The patriarchs' eyes flickered, and it was obvious that most of them were still making the final measurements.

After all, this choice is related to the future of all the clansmen, and this decision is not so easy to make.

Others hesitated to ask Osin Shafar's father, François:

"Do you really think that the Song people will be the final victors this time? The enemy they faced this time was the hero of the Thracians, the great Heraclius! ”

"And it's obvious that there are more Byzantines, and their number is several times that of the Song people!"

"Yes! We need a more certain reason that you can really be sure? ”

All eyes were on François, after all, one would prefer to believe in the older and more prestigious François than Olchenshaffar.

François smiled,

"Yes, friends, I believe that my son, Osin will be the shining pearl of the Shafars, and he said that the Song people will be the final victors, then it must be. Besides, brothers, haven't we seen the horror of the Song people on the battlefield during this period of time! The Byzantines are lions, and the Song people are eagles, and in this land, lions cannot fight eagles. If you choose to trust me because of what has happened in the past few decades, then why not choose to believe in my son as you believe in me. ”
