"Hurry up, if you let those crazy cultists know what we're doing, we'll have to be eaten by them." Diaphragm

Holy City, Jerusalem.

Sweating profusely, Savir directed the soldiers to dig and watched warily out of the grave to prevent the damned madmen and the Jews from discovering their movements.

Since the attack of the Rocco Kingdom, Sashel has followed the army of the Rocco Kingdom all the way to Jerusalem and settled here.

He was stationed here for three purposes, one was to receive slaves from the Rocco Kingdom and send them to the canal to dig a river.

The second is to receive the equipment from the imperial court at any time, and then transfer it to Rocco.

The third is to fulfill one of the cloaked man's requests, find the bones of the saint Jesus, and give them to the other party.

As for the other party asking for the corpse of the saint, Da Ming didn't care about this, anyway, Jesus was not a saint of Da Ming, so he gave it to him. Diaphragm

Satchel believes in ***, so Jesus has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't have any pressure to dig each other's graves.

In order to better find Jesus' bones and protect the weapons and equipment sent by the imperial court, Sather asked Roke to temporarily leave Jerusalem under his control, and the Ming army would be in charge of it.

Luo Ke wanted to refuse, but after listening to the preferential policies given by the other party and the compensation for a batch of tens of thousands of grenades, he directly agreed.

He saw it anyway.

Da Ming just wanted him to mess up the West, and then when the West was powerless to resist, the army suddenly and completely annexed the West.

understood Da Ming's thoughts, so he also let go completely.

He is now a dog of Da Ming, and in the future, when Da Ming rules the world, what treatment he can get depends on his performance and his daughter's performance. Diaphragm

As for the deaths of the civilians and soldiers under their command, hehe, it was their honor to die for His Majesty the great King Rocco.

Saash, who took over Jerusalem, began to inquire openly and secretly about the burial place of Jesus' bones.

As a result, he got nothing, and what he heard was completely known to him.

What Jesus died three days ago and rose again, what Jesus became a saint, what body became an angel and flew to heaven, there is only a shroud left in the world, and it is not sure where it is.

For these uncertain words, Satchel directly chose to ignore them.

If there is a god in the world, then he, a traitor, would have been cracked to death by God a long time ago.

From the information he received, he guessed a possibility. Diaphragm

That is, after Jesus' death, his disciples prevented Jesus' body from being humiliated by the Jews, so they secretly moved Jesus' body and performed a so-called miracle to frighten the Jews.

Later, whether Jesus' body was taken away or not, Sashel could not determine, but according to his consideration, the Jews were so closely watched at that time that it was absolutely impossible for Jesus' body to be taken out, so it must have been buried somewhere.

Considering this possibility, Sashel sent people to search for some books in the temples, and the city sent people to inquire about the news.

Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and when the soldiers searched for news, they got a stone slab.

There is another version that is different from what is recorded in the Bible.

According to the above, Jesus was buried in a tomb after his death and did not rise again three days later, and his disciples staged a scene of Jesus' resurrection in order to show the greatness of Jesus and to intimidate the Jews.

The bodies did not disappear, but were secretly reburied by them. Diaphragm

But because the Jews were too strict to take Jesus' body out, they chose a way to dig a new pit in the cemetery and hide Jesus' body underneath, intending to take it away when the situation had passed.

As for whether Jesus' body was taken away later, there is no record of it.

Saxuer, who has been searching for several days and is full of question marks, can't care if this rumor is true.

After a month of dark and windy nights, he led people into Jesus' tomb and decided to dig to see if he could find it.

"What about this slate, my lord?"

Two soldiers, carrying a stone slab, came to Sash'er's side and asked what to do.

Sashel glanced at it and waved her hand impatiently. Diaphragm

"Let you find the corpse, why do you get this broken stone slab! Find a place out of the way and throw it away. ”

"Oh!"

The two soldiers answered, and they were about to walk outside the tomb.

"Wait!"

Qi Yuan, who came over temporarily and temporarily led people to guard the city of Jerusalem, called out two soldiers.

"Your Highness likes to collect these strange things, this stone tablet should have spared the body of the so-called Jesus, and it should be a holy relic among their followers."

"You first find a place to put it, and bring it back when you go back later, and then find an opportunity to give it to Your Highness, and see what Your Highness does." Diaphragm

After the soldiers put the stone slab aside and continued to be busy, Qi Yuan looked at Sash'er.

"Your news is unreliable, now this grave has been dug a meter deep, and the bones have not been found yet, could that news be fake?"

Sashier spread her hands and said helplessly: "How many years have this been, how can I judge whether the news is true or false, I am in a hurry now, and I can only take this news seriously." ”

"As for whether we can find it, it can only depend on the will of God, it is our luck to find it, and if we can't find it, we can only give it to that guy again, and find another saint."

Qi Yuan was speechless, there are a few saints in the world, which can be found so easily.

He also understands Saxuer's difficulties, but unfortunately he has a lot of things to do, and he can't help the other party, so he can only support him silently.

Looking up and seeing that the other party was sweating, Qi Yuan reached out and patted his shoulder as a sign of comfort. Diaphragm

Stealing the corpse of a saint, and still being in the base camp of the other party's faith, is simply looking for death.

If the news spreads, what the people of Jerusalem or those crazy believers will think, Qi Yuan can't guess.

However, he estimated in his heart that the cultists should go crazy.

It's like if a group of Westerners went to Qufu and dug up the grave of Kong Laoer, the Shandongites and Confucians would definitely go crazy.

"Legion Commander, Urgent!"

Just as the two of them were muttering quietly and instructing the soldiers to dig in more detail, an officer rushed in quickly and handed a telegram to Qi Yuan.

"What's going on!" Diaphragm

Qi Yuan took the telegram and asked the officer.

"News came from the other side of the Tianlong Canal that just an hour ago, a fleet with Ottoman flags had attacked there."

"The two sides fought a big battle, and in the end the Ottomans lost two ships and retreated."

"Only one battleship on our side was seriously damaged, the others were only slightly injured, and the casualties were not large."

"After the battle, they interrogated the captives and learned that the Ottoman Empire had sent 500 large and small ships to transport 30,000 soldiers to land in the waters west of Jerusalem, with the aim of occupying Jerusalem and completely cutting off the rear route of the Rocco army."

"After the soldiers landed, they divided into a part and went to the Tianlong Canal, wanting to occupy it as a second line of defense to cut off."

The officer quickly reported on the telegram. Diaphragm

"What, the Ottomans have launched a counterattack, and they have sent 30,000 men to us."

Saxu'er, who couldn't read the Ming script on the side, exclaimed after listening to the officer's report.

"General Qi, didn't you say that the Mediterranean Sea is under your control, why did the Ottoman fleet come here with soldiers, you didn't get the news."

After reading the telegram, Qi Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't pay attention to Saxu'er, but said to the officer: "Order all troops to enter the battle state, and block all the entrances of the city gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. ”

"Yes!"

The officer saluted, turned and walked briskly away from the tomb.

After the officer left, Qi Yuan folded the telegram and stuffed it into his arms, and then explained to Sash'er, who looked anxious next to him: "I have too many tasks, to protect the Gulf of Aden, to protect Jerusalem, to watch the slaves who were escorted over, and to send some of them to the Rocco army as officers. "Ahh

"So I ordered the fleet to abandon the patrol and plunder plan, dock at the Tianlong Canal, and hand over the management of the excavation of the canal to them."

"Now there are our patrol boats in the Mediterranean, that is, around the canal, and I just want to take care of the other areas, and I don't have that manpower."

Knowing the reason, Sashier said in a hurry.

"Then what to do, do you want to ask the imperial court for help, or send soldiers from the Gulf of Aden."

The canal is related to the future plan of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the most important link in the entire Western plan.

Zheng He once said to him that he could not do anything, and he must desperately defend this canal.

During this time, he worked perfectly, not only extorting a sum of money from Rocco, but also successfully getting the canal down. Diaphragm

Zheng He had already reported his merits to the imperial court, and the imperial court learned of his merits, and already had the idea of making him the first foreign noble.

Seeing that he was about to become a noble lord, and he was also a noble Ming nobleman, Saxuer would never allow any problems to arise at this juncture.

"Hehe, don't be impatient!"

Qi Yuan comforted Saxu'er, who was jumping in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Although Jerusalem City is not as good as Daming's city, it is also a good defense base, I have 4,000 soldiers here, there are so many people in the city, and there are so many ammunition stored in the warehouse, not to mention that 30,000 people from him are 300,000, and I am confident to hold it." ”

He patted Sash'er on the shoulder, "By the way, His Highness selected me from the bottom back then, and he took a fancy to my ability to defend the city. ”

"And more importantly, it is not us who is in a hurry now, but our esteemed King Rocco."

"Lord Sash'er, as the plenipotentiary representative of the Ming Dynasty in the West, the time has come for you to play your role." Diaphragm

"Now that we are threatened, as our allies in the West, should His Majesty King Rocco send troops to rescue me?"

"And more importantly, this is his rear line, once this place is breached, his army is out of supplies, and it is only a matter of time before it falls."

"By the way, tell him again, the troops that can be sent out on the expedition are all elite, although the Ottoman Empire is strong, how many such elite troops do they have."

After Qi Yuan's suggestion, Saxu'er also came back to her senses, nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, go find that bastard Luo Ke and ask him to send troops back to eliminate these despicable sneak attackers." Destroy these dastardly sneak attackers, and the Ottomans will definitely be devastated. ”

Qi Yuan was right, the army that could cross the sea and be sent out to block the enemy's back road was definitely the elite of a country.

If this elite army were to die in Jerusalem, Omurad would be absolutely distressed and unable to sleep.

After the team evacuated the tomb of Jesus, Sul sent a telegram asking Rocco to send someone to come to the rescue, and asked the other party to send another part of the troops to help the Ming watch the slaves digging the canal, so that the Ming detachment could pull out their hands and deal with the Ottoman navy transporting these soldiers, and block the road behind them by the way. Diaphragm

Qi Yuan went to inspect the city wall, and after confirming that there was no problem, he went back to sleep.

It's not how big his heart is, it's the 30,000 Ottoman troops, he really didn't pay attention to it.

With the firepower of his soldiers, he had strong walls, and so many meat targets available in the city.

Not to mention that 30,000 people came, even if it was 100,000 or even 300,000, he was confident that it would be under the city walls.

Omurad deserves to be called a wise and calm monarch, and just by the intelligence coming from the front, he discovered a weakness in the Rocco legion.

It's too abrupt and doesn't care about the defense of the rear.

According to the information they received, the Rocco Kingdom attacked his borders and sent nearly 200,000 troops, which was almost the entire strength of the Rocco Kingdom. Diaphragm

Rocco fought like this, and the defense of the rear can be said to be almost zero.

For this reason, Omurad was puzzled, even if Rocco was born as a state minister, he would not make such a low-level mistake.

This kind of behavior of completely ignoring the rear supply lines and going all out is simply a military brain-dead.

Omurad was also a decisive man, and after seizing this point, he directly sent his most trusted general, commanding the elite 30,000 troops of the Ottoman Empire, from Constantinople, to board the combined fleet of various countries, across the Eastern Mediterranean, and go straight to the holy city of Jerusalem.

Omurad's idea was very simple, that is, to use this army to completely cut off the supply lines of Locke's army.

The original plan to force the army of the Roco Kingdom to the south of the canal turned into a north-south attack, and solved this problem in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that Omurad made a lot of calculations, but ignored the existence of Daming. Diaphragm

The reason why Luo Ke is so reluctant to ignore the rear supply line and lead most of the army to advance bravely is not because of how stupid he is, but because he has the support of Daming in the rear.

Although he was very angry with Da Ming's persecution, he also had to admit that the sense of security brought by Da Ming was something that no one or any force could give.

The Ming took control of Jerusalem and the Celestial Dragon Canal, and told him that he would perfectly protect his logistics.

Rocco did not raise any doubts or objections, because he believed in the power of the Ming Dynasty and had no problem holding his supply line.

"What, the Ottomans sent convoys to transport troops, ready to attack Jerusalem and cut off our supply lines."

Outside Aleppo.

Although it was late at night, the attack of the army of the Rocco Kingdom still did not stop. Diaphragm

The rumbling of artillery and the dense gunfire mingled, and the houses in the city that were set ablaze by the shelling lit up half of the sky.

At present, a city wall has been taken by the Rocco Kingdom, and the two sides are engaged in fierce street fighting, if nothing else, tomorrow the city will be under the control of the Rocco Kingdom.

The successive victories in the battles made Rocco, who was originally a little weak-hearted, and his self-confidence became unprecedentedly full.

It made him feel that fighting a war was not as difficult as he imagined.

Fighting is just like what the Ming general said, no matter how strong the city wall is, it can't withstand the attack of artillery, and the brave and fearless soldiers will still wear a hole with a shot.

There is no war in the world that cannot be won, there is no city that cannot be conquered, and if there is, it means that you do not have enough artillery and soldiers.

With the guidance of the Ming general, coupled with the ammunition support of the Ming Dynasty, Luo Ke was also very bold in fighting. Diaphragm

Before attacking a city, hundreds of artillery pieces are laid out, first bombarding him for an hour, and then sending infantry to attack, and if the attack does not go well, then make up another hour.

Relying on this stupid way of playing, he won several cities along the way.

However, just when he was ambitious and felt that if he continued to fight like this, he would be able to unify the West, a basin of cold water was poured on him.

Omurad, who had no asshole in the Ottoman son, sent elite troops to attack his rear from the Mediterranean.

Jerusalem was an important supply base for him, from which most of his food and weapons were delivered.

If it is lost, he will be completely finished.

Fortunately, his worries didn't last long. Diaphragm

Sashel told him in a telegram that there was no problem with the Ming holding Jerusalem.

It's just that due to the lack of troops, it is impossible to stop these 30,000 troops from plundering other places or harassing Rocco's supply team.

Sashel hoped that Rocco would send a force to annihilate the daring Ottoman legion and secure the supply lines in the rear.

And the Ming also promised that he would send a fleet to attack the Ottoman navy, completely annihilate it, and wipe out Rocco's worries.

After receiving the assurance, Rocco's little worry completely disappeared without a trace, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the same number of 30,000 elite troops to Jerusalem.

Rocco decided to eat the 30,000 elite Ottoman army for a dessert before fighting the Ottoman army.
