The northern shore of the Black Continent, especially in Libya, although there are places with abundant water and grass such as the Tripoli Oasis, there are still endless desolations.

The sea is not far away, so there is enough moisture in the air to keep the desert from turning into a desert, but it also does not nourish life.

Wu Xin's troops stretched out a long line in the desert and advanced with difficulty.

Although the whole is along the coastline, the coastline is winding, and you can't always walk completely on the edge of the cliff.

In some places, the roads left over from the Eastern Roman era have been maintained, while in others they have never been restored after being ravaged by the army of the stars and moons.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a pathfinder to find a feasible path again, Wu Xin himself took on this task, although he and Sazastan are not usually suitable for pathfinders, but one is good at mapping, the other is super strong and fearless, and then brings a few nomadic rangers, or quite a good pathfinder.

The one who commanded the army was, of course, Cassano.

A thousand men and horses is not too much, and in an agrarian area, a sentinel battle that determines the fate of a country often requires the investment of troops far exceeding this number.

But it's not too little, at least for nomads, it's far more than their numerical concept.

Not to mention that there were more camels, horses, and donkeys than humans, as well as sheep that passed for food.

The march is not walking, there are many things to deal with, scouts to the flanks, frequent formations, and the rhythm of rest, and most importantly, the distribution of supplies with the army.

For the military. There is nothing more important than arranging logistics, and conducting a military operation in a barren area, where the troops are not completely descended, and a large number of servant troops are mixed in, which makes logistics even more difficult.

It is necessary to balance efficiency and fairness, but also to be timely and effective.

Cassano can't handle that much work anymore. Therefore, it is necessary to assign Kessler's head seat to him as a deputy to deal with the work of various marches.

Wu Xin not only brought his three companies of 600 people, but also squeezed out the manpower of the vassal tribes, including the Godafy tribe, and gathered more than 400 cavalry.

In order to make this army have enough mobility, Wu Xin requisitioned many pack beasts.

If it weren't for the large amount of food to appease the various tribes, even Wu Xin's "fireball technique" would not cost money, and even if Sazastan and Cassano alone could deal with dozens of nomads, at most they would have killed people and provoked a round of war. It is absolutely impossible to subdue those tribes in a short period of time and let them come out of the camel.

Now Wu Xin took out a few thousand tales of silver to buy the chiefs and clan elders, and left hundreds of catties of wheat for the families of each expeditioner, and finally pulled out of the team.

The team was pulled out, but not integrated, and the companies were able to command them, but the nomads needed to maneuver with all their might to play a role in the rest of the battle.

And that's not all. Wu Xin also had the intention of taking the opportunity of this expedition to divide and infiltrate these nomads.

Having always been divided into lineages and collateral lines will allow most of the leader's energy to be spent on maintaining the internal and balancing all parties. The energy used for external expansion and planning albums is insufficient.

Therefore, Wu Xin's goal was never just a Godafi tribe, all the tribes that took benefits from him, did business with the port of Tripoli, and provided mercenaries, were all the objects he wanted to annex.

The ultimate goal is to make Wu Xin's soldiers out of reach. There were no more chiefs, only village chiefs and town chiefs appointed by him.

Let these tribal people know that Wu Xin's law is the highest authority, and know that those clan elders are subject to the same jurisdiction as them.

When he needs to recruit men, he no longer has to compromise with the elders of various tribes. Let them go through the hand first, but directly send the settling-in allowance to the family of every soldier.

Missionaries who believe in the Lord of the Flame can move freely among the tribes, and no one can obstruct their worship.

So that the tax collector can get a profit from the strongest people even if he is unarmed with just a piece of paper, a coat.

To achieve this goal, Kessler First is working hard.

When distributing supplies, he looked for young people who had no sense of identity with their own nation and no sense of identity with the Star Moon Sect.

Quietly complimenting them a few words, and then complaining a little about the overly conservative elders and chiefs,

Occasionally, he stirred up a few elders and chiefs to make them feel that they were righteous and that the port of Tripoli supported him.

All of this is only a few minutes for those who are being co-opted, but it is a lot of work for Kessler's first seat.

Relieved to see Kessler's first seat, Cassano spoke to him.

"Actually, he wanted to save the port of Tripoli for a long time, right?" Cassano was wrapped in a black robe, and there was no armor underneath, and he couldn't afford to wear iron armor all the time, "It must have been planned, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to be so fast anyway." ”

The tribes had already predetermined a proper number of contributions according to how many times their population and livestock, and both Father Erlan and Old Deverlich had done a lot of homework on this purpose, and it was these administrative efforts that were not seen in front of the stage and rarely honored, that enabled Wu Xin to make swift and powerful military movements.

Kessler's first seat also contributed a lot, and was able to expand the regular company so quickly, relying mostly on the popularity he had built among his followers, he nodded and agreed: "When the port of Benghazi was besieged, Cesare made a plan, the security of the port of Tripoli cannot be based on illusory security promises or diplomatic means, the best way to ensure our own security is to get a buffer on the edge, Gabez in the west and Benghazi in the east cannot be controlled in the hands of the first-class power, only in this way can we feel safe." ”

The desire for security, which is at the root of most human wars, is a great insecurity in itself, but the ultimate judgment will be imposed on those who escape the challenge, and only a nation that pursues this danger at all times can stand the test of time.

"The Ottoman Empire's control of the port of Benghazi is indeed a disaster for us." Cassano nodded, he understood the logic, even if there were no reincarnation players who needed to be rescued. Wu Xin also has the motivation to rescue the port of Benghazi, the problem is that he has the motivation, but he may not have the ability, "Anyway, our thousand people may not be able to deal with the encircling army outside Benghazi." ”

In fact, Cassano for the situation in the port of Tripoli. He was also extremely worried in his heart, his time was running out, and what he was most worried about was that soon after his death, Wu Xin's power would also disappear.

Just this place on the southern shore of the Mediterranean,

In fact, there is no stronghold along the way for hundreds of miles, which is already an extremely dangerous move.

"By the way, if we go so fast, will the Spaniards not have time to cooperate with us?" Cassano was naturally also worried about the movements of friendly forces. "It's not easy to cooperate along the way."

Supported by several capital ships and a few sailboats, the Marquis of Bazin was under great pressure from the Madrid side, otherwise he would not have forced the head of the regiment Eli Adam to send reinforcements to the hopeless port of Benghazi.

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this." Kessler lowered his voice, "But this matter can only be known to us, in fact, our envoy has not yet set off, and the envoy of the Marquis of Bazin has already found us........."

…………

This question happened to be what Galileh was asking Wu Xin.

Wu Xin threw a fireball towards a piece of sand dunes. Exploded a large nest of colorful scorpions.

Dawang pounced,

These delicacies soothed the Ripping Meat Dragon a little. It has fully adapted to the humid world of berries and does not like this dry environment.

However, the dry environment made the flesh-ripping dragon's body look better, and those damp skins were worn off, revealing large yellow and white stripes underneath.

Wu Xin watched the velvet dragon eat his food happily, and said to the druid worriedly: "I hope the Marquis of Bazin can understand the importance of our port of Tripoli to the cause of His Majesty the Emperor, but you know. The Marquis of Bazin was much weaker than the Ottoman fleet assembled in Alexandria, and he did not dare to fight. ”

"Well, in this case, if he does not come, we will be in danger, not only are the chances of victory much smaller, but also there is no Spanish fleet. If we fail, there will be no way to return to the port of Tripoli along the coastline. "Galilei is a little suspicious of Wu Xin's words, without the protection of the navy, the Ottoman Empire can easily block the coastline, so that Wu Xin can not camp along the coastline,

At that point, it will be possible to try to retreat from the interior, which will almost certainly lead to a complete rout of the troops.

This is almost all the bets, he has not dealt with Wu Xin much, and he is not sure if Wu Xin will be so young.

"We're going to win! Lord Galilei, with your help, no one will be able to withstand our surprise attack! Although Wu Xin said this, he refused to tell Galileh that in fact, the Marquis of Bazin had agreed with him that he would give his full support.

"Don't worry, since I took your money, I will definitely fight with all my might." Galilei touched the five thousand thalers worth of Jewish diamonds in his arms, and reassured that he was sure that he would be able to escape anyway, "If things don't go well, I'll take you out alive." ”

Being able to complete the plane capture mission, Wu Xin will still be the boss of the Knights Hospitaller, and even if Wu Xin has nothing, Galile is still convinced that Ladislaus will pay for Wu Xin to live.

In the end, he generally believed Wu Xin's words.

He didn't know that Wu Xin and Marquis Bazin had a tacit understanding for a long time, and the connection was extremely close.

Through the white gloves of the Marquis of Bazin, Wu Xin and the Marquis of Bazin can be contacted very quickly.

The big dogs guarding his trading post, the carrier pigeons that were able to travel quickly back and forth between Malta and the ports of Tripoli, were all retired from the Spanish Navy.

These animals have been carefully trained by Spanish druids and rangers, and even though they are of retirement age, they can still use their residual heat.

Wu Xin's so-called sending envoys was actually sending pigeons, but in fact, the pigeons of the Marquis of Bazin arrived first.

After all, Galilei does not have any local intelligence sources, and he has no understanding of the operation system here, so he naturally does not know that the two sides actually had some thoughts of rescuing Benghazi after the Marquis of Bazin discovered the great development of the port of Tripoli.

Since the Marquis of Bazin forced the Knights Hospitaller to increase troops towards Benghazi, how could he not want to get support from Wu Xin, but Wu Xin's strength was not enough in the past.

And now that Wu Xin has absorbed a piece of dimensional fragment and his strength has increased greatly, the cooperation between the two sides has immediately had a foundation.

The Marquis of Bazin took the initiative to find Wu Xin, and naturally promised Wu Xin a lot of conditions, the most important thing is that he will support Wu Xin to rule the port of Benghazi and become the master of the whole Libya, and he is also generous in the division of spoils to the extreme, and by the way, he also gave Wu Xin some supplies.

He gave Wu Xin all the things in his warehouse in the port of Tripoli, and of course the emperor paid for it.

He used the public money he controlled to buy his own goods, and then allocated them to Wu Xin, making a lot of money.

But even so, Wu Xin was satisfied, without the support of the Marquis of Bazin, he could not get the support of the emperor at all, and the money could flow to the port of Tripoli, but also to the island of Malta, and it could be used to strengthen Sicily.

Without the support of the Marquis of Bazin, the money would not have flowed to the port of Tripoli.

Of course, he couldn't tell Galilei, otherwise the guy would be unhappy that he was paid, although the Jewish Chamber of Commerce's generic diamonds were indeed valuable.

But after Wu Xin saw Galilei's ability, he knew that he was indeed very valuable.

"This pond, dig it up, there's enough water down there to supply us." Although he has been in the humid world for a long time, the druids are the best scouts after all, and Galilei can tell that there is an abundance of water under the surface of a water that looks the size of a basin, "Hold this place, there must be some animals here to replenish the water." ”

Relying on his knowledge, Wu Xin has captured several wild camels in the past few days, and he carefully selected them, quickly selected the ones with a gentle temper to join the camel team, and slaughtered the ones with a bad temper as food.

The name of the Great Flesh Ripper Dragon disappeared for a while and reappeared, with a yellow sheep hanging in its mouth, Galile lowered his head and communicated with it for a while, and then took a dozen nomads to capture the yellow sheep.

And that's far from all he can do.

……………

When Wu Xin left the port of Tripoli, Bursa also arrived in Tunis.

She rode in an oar-and-sail ship that was extremely fast, the fastest messenger ship in the Mediterranean, and the Barbary pirate ships, despite their speed, could not keep up with this thing without any regard for cost.

She didn't report it, and after getting off the ship, she sneaked directly into the former palace of the Hassf family, now the headquarters of Hyreddin.

The pirate guards are far inferior to the Topka Palace, so it would not be a problem for her to come first.

Following the woman's cry, Bulsha soon found the sensational giant.

She looked at the sweaty Hyreddin, and silently pulled out the cicada-wing double knife at her waist. (To be continued.) )
