Chapter 410: Infiltration

Bouhaira Province.

The Saracen army that drove out of Rashid City was like a sinking python, and the armor wrapped in black robes and white robes was the scales of the giant python.

The smoke and dust covered the sky, the flags were like a forest, and the banners embroidered with various colors of blazing holy flames divided these black-armored armies into several sections.

The entire army stretched for dozens of miles, and even if they watched here for a day, I was afraid that these people would not be able to walk cleanly.

Obviously, if you count the baggage wagons, people, craftsmen, and other people who don't have to go to the battlefield, the number of Saracen's army is far more than 50,000.

Looking at this scene, Lothar frowned and said: "These Saracens have a very high armor rate, and they are worthy of being the elite under the command of the lords of Egypt, and they have really paid their blood to send their elites to Adil's tent to listen to orders. ”

Of these 50,000 troops, at least 30,000 belong to the elite of this era.

On the whole, the armor rate is frighteningly high, even in the Saracen army, the infantry who have always been ignored are more or less equipped with armor, scale armor, and chain mail, and they are obviously trained to a certain extent, which can be seen from their march.

Hans spoke: "The lords of Egypt have been frightened by your successive marches, and if you are allowed to gain a foothold in Semanud, the entire central and eastern parts of the delta will fall, and Upper Egypt, and even the city of Cairo, will be exposed to your troops.

In this case, even if there are many factions within the Saracens, they will have to fully support Adil. ”

"That's what Adil aimed, if he had just entered Egypt and he had led his army to resist, then the war would have become his own business. But once there are chickens that have been killed, the interests of the monkeys are also threatened. War became the business of all the Egyptian lords. ”

The group was now standing on the remains of a heavily weathered pyramid, overlooking the Saracen procession in the distance.

Lothar sighed: "Regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place, Adil is worthy of being a famous general who can leave a name in the annals of history." ”

It was this decisive battle that wiped out the main forces of the Crusaders and the Saracens that determined the ownership of Egypt.

Once the crusaders were defeated.

The territory that had been swallowed before had to be spit out with all the profits, and even the kingdom of Jerusalem had to fall into a crisis because of the lack of troops.

And once the Saracens were defeated, the courage of the Egyptian lords would be completely lost, and the arguments that "the Franks were invincible" and "the Crusaders were the demons of the holy fire punishing the ungodly" would become even more entrenched.

Until then.

The Saracen aristocracy of Egypt could not organize effective resistance at all, and either abandoned their territories and went into exile, or simply changed course and went to the Franks.

And Saladin's remaining Syrian territory will also become fish on the chopping block.

An Eastern Franco-Frankish kingdom would be established, and the course of the entire world's history would be changed.

"Shall we attack the enemy's supply lines while they are on the march?"

You can go, right?

Lothar glanced at Hans and said helplessly: "What do you think, the light cavalry of the Saracens is far superior to us, and they are fighting at home, what do we use to attack them?" ”

Although many of the knights and cavalry under his command are good at riding and archery, the risks and benefits are completely disproportionate to the risk and benefit of giving up heavy armor and penetrating deep into the territory controlled by the enemy's fortress and fortress to sneak attack the enemy's supply lines.

Hans smiled awkwardly: "I took it for granted. ”

Lothar continued: "The supplies that attacked the Saracens were of little use, they passed through their own territory along the way, not the desert when we passed through the Sinai Peninsula, and even if there was no food or water, they could collect it on the spot. So, don't look at the number of them, the actual supplies they have to consume are much lower than you think. ”

If Saladin had attacked Jerusalem without having to think about supplies as he does now, Jerusalem would have already fallen.

Lothar took a deep breath and said slowly, "This will be a great battle that will forever be recorded in history. ”

If the number of the two sides involved in the war reaches Europe, the princes and nobles who claim to be the hegemon will have to drop their jaws, even if the scale of this battle can be ranked in the entire history of European warfare.

In the sky, a loud eagle chirped, and flocks of falcons scattered in all directions to inquire for information, and they flew over the heads of Lothar and his party, but they ignored everyone.

Lothar spoke, "Let's find a crypt and set up camp, Cherinina, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”

"Please rest assured."

Cherinina nodded slowly, she carried two blue long swords at her waist, and was about to fly and jump down, when she heard Lothar advise: "Once you encounter a strong enemy, retreat to our side immediately, and don't be reckless." ”

Cherinina smiled and said, "Please rest assured, although I am from the Basilicata family, I am not like my grandfather, who forgets everything when I fight." ”

Flynn stepped forward and stuffed a magic talisman into her hand: "I have stepped up to make it in the past two days, as long as I crush it, a blood mist will appear, which is the most suitable for running away." ”

"Thank you."

Veneto scratched his head, hesitated, and said, "That granddaughter, listen to the adults, and your safety must be the most important thing." ”

Cherinina looked at him with some surprise, nodded, and without hesitation, jumped down, followed as if in the wind, and disappeared without a trace.

Lavinia stared at this scene with some curiosity: "Mr. Veneto is Miss Nina's grandfather?" ”

Basilicata is also the top of the upper wolf clan, and Cherinina's father, the patriarch of Giuliano, has opened up a new world for the wolf clan in the New World, and even the Yaxie family has returned with a feather.

Veneto straightened up: "Young man, in your time, did anyone still know the prestige of my bloodthirsty wolf?" ”

Lavinia was stunned and looked at Lothar with some embarrassment.

Lothar said angrily: "It's long gone, you are all antiques from a hundred years ago, who will remember you, let alone your brilliant deeds at the beginning, in all fairness, there is really nothing worth talking about." ”

The last time I handed over the mission, this guy almost messed up, and he didn't let Hans interfere - you can solve it yourself!

Veneto shrank his head, not daring to squeak.

He wasn't so honest originally, he was purely convinced by listening to Lothar's previous combat record, killing a wolf master internal guard, plus the brilliant record of a Yaksi family's liquidation team, and losing to Lothar in the battle.

Lavinia comforted with a good temper, "I don't know the name of Mr. Veneto, but your son and granddaughter have become important figures in the entire wolf clan, and you must be a very powerful person to have such excellent offspring." ”

Veneto couldn't help but smile and said: "The Bologna family is a group of mercenary and short-sighted businessmen, I didn't expect to produce a young junior with outstanding vision like you, not bad, not bad!" ”

Lavinia smiled awkwardly.

Although she had a good relationship with Cherinina and felt that she should treat Veneto as an elder, in all fairness, she still felt that this guy was very badly beaten.

Lothar glanced at him and said, "Veneto, those who can only fight and kill, and those who are brave for a moment cannot be remembered, and the wolf clan has no shortage of such people.

Veneto, only a hundred years have passed in your world, and few people still remember your prestige. But Giuliano, even if he is defeated and dies, in another thousand years, there will still be people who will hold his banner high. ”

Just like William Wallace!
