"That's it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info pulls a hair and moves the whole body. "After summarizing the entire situation, intelligence and information, William basically grasped the current situation.

That's the way it is today. His expedition has caused a confluence to the point of creating a series of variables that make the whole old world revolve around it all.

Under these circumstances, William's original strategy of "gaining advantages" and "opening up to the outside world" has naturally changed. It became a decisive war that was crucial to the final victory.

"However, even if you win this war, it will be quite difficult to completely annex the entire Ottoman Empire. William thought to himself.

Because of different religions, different races, and also because of differences in social organizational structure, customs, and languages, the human world, a series of countries with the Goths as the main body, and the Ottoman Empire, a series of peoples with Crescent beliefs as the core, can almost be said to be two completely different creatures.

I want to rule these peoples, I want to control all these territories, I want to get this series of resources...... The energy, time, and effort required may even be spent on the integration of all the Goths, all the Goths, and the formation of a new Gothic Empire.

Just thinking about ruling over so many different peoples, suppressing them all, and making these bastards obey orders, William felt a headache.

If he could, he even felt that it would be easier to defeat the 200,000-strong army of the Fatimid woman Sudan again.

"But that's the next thing. You can wait until you think about it. If the war cannot end, then all this is meaningless. William thought to himself, forcing himself not to think about how difficult the work would be when the war was over.

He devoted more of his energy to the upcoming war against the female Sudan Fatima.

The war is about to begin.

After a long march of about a month, the vanguard of Nu Sudan finally succeeded in reaching the outskirts of Tabriz.

The cavalry of the three legions circled around the outskirts of the Russian-Gothic expeditionary force's line and then left without saying a word.

The commander who commanded these armies was very sensible, knowing that this little cavalry in his hands alone would definitely not be William's opponent, and it was not a joke to be accidentally beaten up, and it was no joke if he was caught and annihilated.

"It's a shame. William looked at this scene and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

If only those bastards had a little more guts, a little bigger. William will definitely give them a lesson that will last a lifetime. It is not impossible to even wipe out these armies in dumplings in one go.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about a little now.

Well, just a little thought, of course.

Now, on the outskirts of Tabriz, William has mobilized a large number of manpower to build fortifications through official Zoroaster. Trenches, transport trenches, anti-tank trenches - well, this one doesn't. In addition, there are all kinds of fortresses, forts and small fortresses. With William's 600 small Napoleonic guns and mobile musketeers, it was enough for mobile defense.

The only thing William regretted was that he did not have qualified infantry units under his command who could lie down in the trenches and resist beatings. The only thing he could do was to divide the Cossack Separate Brigade, which had now expanded to fifteen, and allocate part of it as infantry.

The combat effectiveness of these infantry was very bad. Both the training and the armament are poor. William had no choice but to scavenge for ranged weapons for them to use.

These included captured muskets used by the Ottoman Empire - a small number of flintlock muskets, and a large number of obsolete arquebuses. In addition to this, there were also some captured arquebuses from the Zoroastrian Empire, as well as the Uzbek Khanate in the north.

These weapons that William's army may not be able to serve at a glance in normal times can now be said to be in short supply. Not even one person can do it.

"That's terrible," William sighed slightly.

The war readiness work has been completed so far, and there are all kinds of problems, which he is struggling to deal with.

If it weren't for the fact that he thought his artillery firepower was definitely superior to that of the other side, he didn't even want to engage in a traditional positional battle. Simply, use the field method to decide the victory or defeat in a battle.

But not now.

"The only way to expect the enemy to be able to play out of order is gone. William thought in his heart: "Moreover, after the end of this battle, I don't know how many troops will be lost, and I hope that the subsequent replenishment will be faster." Thinking of these things in his heart, looking at these hard-working Zoroastrian workers, William was somewhat unconfident about the coming war.

Autumn of 1776, October 12th. Temperatures have dropped to very low, and even in the early hours of the morning, it is not too uncommon for them to drop below zero. At dawn, you can see the frost falling. The land is a white landscape.

It was also during this time that the female Sudan Fatima led the entire army of dark elves to the outskirts of Tabriz.

With a combination of Turkic cavalry, Levantine cavalry and camel cavalry, and elite crossbow cavalry of the Dark Elves, the new nomadic annex of Hereford could no longer afford to do so. All harassment activities were wiped out by the elite light cavalry of the Ottoman Empire.

This made the nomadic cavalry under William's command appear to a certain extent cowardly and avoid war. Especially when the big battle came, and part of the cavalry was scattered outside, unable to contact the general command of Tabriz.

These nomadic new vassals, fickle and treacherous habits reappeared. These guys seem to be starting to get ready to re-bet again.

Of course, until William's army has shown signs of defeat, they will not make easy bets.

William, who understands the thoughts of these bastards, is also somewhat helpless. After all, these guys are not of the same mind as himself, and he has known this for a long time.

"This is the trench defense system that the Hereford family is best at. ”

At the same time that William felt all kinds of unpleasantness, the female Sudan Fatima on the other side of him also gasped.

Seeing the installation in front of her, the female Sudan Fatima felt uncomfortable for a while. In Ruthenia, the bad memory of the setback under the city of Kiev once again floated in her heart, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

The fortifications built by William on the outskirts of Tabriz were naturally completely different from Kiev in Ruthenia in the use of terrain. But the meaning is the same.

In this case, the female Sudan Fatima naturally has to be cautious and cautious.

She now regretted a little, why did she march in a hurry, and then not come with artillery units. Attacking such a tough position without assault weapons is stupid to think about.

"I won't make the same mistake a second time. Female Sudan Fatima thought in her heart.

In this way, the army brought by Fatima did not attack William's defense line at the first time, but chose to set up a camp outside the range of relative artillery.

Although it is said that I have not learned the essence of the engineer work of the Hereford family's army, it is still possible to learn from the cat and the tiger. The army of the Fatimid woman Sudan, in addition to paying more attention to flintlock pistols and bayonets. At the same time, in addition to imitating more powerful artillery and grenades, he is also learning the earthwork of the Hereford family.

This is also one of the things that troubles William. It seems that he will not be able to gain an advantage with his new tactics for long. Any country with ambitions is learning the tactics of the Hereford family to improve the combat effectiveness of their own army.

This was true of the Ottoman Empire, of the Kingdom of Briton, and of other countries of the human world.

Although William's infantry drills, cavalry and artillery drills, tactics, training methods, weapons and equipment, etc., the essence of which they could not learn in a short time. However, dig trenches and build breastwalls to cover the infantry. They still know these things.

Although their trenches were all in a single straight line, there were no communication trenches, no anti-artillery holes, and no S-shaped anti-artillery design. But for the Ottoman Empire, this was already a remarkable step forward.

At the beginning, during the implementation of military reforms, a quarrel broke out among the dark elves over whether or not to introduce the trench system.

The stubbornly old-fashioned generals categorically disagreed with this tactic. Think it's making your army look like groundhogs. How can a dignified soldier keep digging like a laborer? This is really undeserved.

In fact, this call did not come from the first day. In William's previous life, at the beginning of the First World War, the mainstream of war was still lined up to be shot. The GIs formed a neat phalanx and attacked the opposing line of machine-guns and heavy artillery, and thousands of them were slaughtered.

There is probably nothing more stupid in this world than this.

Life or honor, which is more important, when this option is placed in front of anyone, no matter who it is, no matter how arrogant it was before, whether it is a nobleman, or a nobleman, or a nobleman, has to bow his head in front of the harsh facts.

That's it.

But not now, now, although William is already recognized as one of the best commanders in the world. However, his tactics have not yet been accepted by everyone. In any country there are a large number of die-hard conservative guys who refuse to change, who refuse to innovate. Think that the world is as it should be.

So they all deserved to die.

The problem is that it's usually not them who die in the end, it's always the ordinary soldiers who use their lives to learn their lessons. And those generals and aristocratic bastards who are unashamed and unashamed to talk nonsense can live well.

Come to think of it, it's just so unfair.
