In the end, the Fatimid woman Sudan, who was overwhelming, forcibly passed a series of military reforms, which, combined with the original strength of the Ottoman Empire, finally brought the army of the Ottoman Empire to life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 With a total of 200,000 and even 300,000 modern elite troops, even William, even the Russian-Gothic Empire, had to tread carefully in the face of such a force.

This shows the strength of the Fatimid woman Sudan, her mind, her wrist and her strong position.

But at the same time, in this series of reforms, the nobles whose power and interests were touched naturally became disgusted with the Fatimid woman Sudan.

They are waiting for their chance.

If the next war is really as Nu Sudan said, it will be won. At the end of the Great War, the entire empire will reap great benefits. Then needless to say, the female Sudan will become one of the greatest rulers in the history of the Ottomans. All the nobles will forget what little profit they have lost, and desperately sing the praises of the female Sudan and show their loyalty.

But if this war is lost, then ...... The female Sudan may really have to think about whether she wants to be William's slave girl.

That sounds a bit bad, but it's actually much better than falling into the hands of the opposition aristocracy.

At the very least, William will only smack her nicely, hard, and lovingly alone, and will not share it with many people. Not to mention that it will not make any very ghostly and outrageous play.

For a defeated general, especially a woman, especially a woman as beautiful and sexy as Fatima Sudan, these are enough.

Of course, that's something you need to think about after failure. At least Fatima doesn't have to care about these things now. For now, at least, she still has the upper hand in the confrontation with William.

Over the next few days, there was no large-scale military operation on either side.

For Fatima, she was prepared to wait until the artillery in the rear was fully assembled, and for William, the longer it dragged on, the closer reinforcements from his two steppe cavalry regiments became. At the same time, the likelihood of his father, Prince Otto, breaking through the Caucasian defenses, will increase. If you calculate it this way, William's chances of victory are much greater.

In this way, with the large number of troops on both sides gathered, the two sides first engaged in a thirteen-day standoff.

During the standoff, neither side sent its main forces to fight. However, small-scale frictions and clashes have occurred from time to time.

The two sides of the conflict are the light cavalry units of both sides.

The light cavalry of the Turks, the camel cavalry of the Levants, the crossbow cavalry of the dark elves.

On the other side were the nomadic new annex cavalry, Cossack cavalry, regular cuirassiers and musketeers.

Comparing the two sides, in elite battles, William's army is usually able to win. Cuirassiers and Lancers are always able to defeat the opposing Praetorian Cavalry, as well as the Dark Elf Cavalry.

After all, the musketeers were a bug in this era - whether it was a carbine suitable for cavalry. Or a revolver that can shoot quickly at close range, both of which are sharp weapons in cavalry warfare.

With the help of such sophisticated weapons. If the cavalry of the Hereford Expeditionary Force could lose again, they would not have to eat. Hurry up and die, contribute to the world, and save oxygen a little better.

But in the battles of low-ranking cavalry, this is not the case at all. Both sides have lost and won, and it is even said that there were slightly more defeats on William's side.

In the final analysis, the opposing cavalry units were somewhat higher than William's cavalry in terms of training, weapons and equipment, and combat effectiveness.

The cavalry of the Turks and the camel cavalry of the Levantines, although they can only be regarded as semi-regular cavalry units, are better than the newly annexed armies of the completely irregular nomads.

In this way, in the outpost battle, William's cavalry and Fatima's cavalry can be said to have fought a five-to-five. No one suffered much, and of course, no one took advantage.

If strictly speaking, it should be William who won, because the victory or defeat of the low-level cavalry and the battle of the high-level elite are not the same concept at all. Dozens or hundreds of Turkic or Levantine cavalry troops were insignificant to the Dark Elves. However, even if a Praetorian cavalry or a dark elf crossbow cavalry died, they would feel heartache.

The number of such battles has increased, and the dark elves will not dare to fight in such a piecemeal manner.

Because I feel distressed. Every Dark Elf warrior is a treasure of the Ottoman Empire. It's hard to die a single one. What's more, so many deaths-

If the death of these guys can be exchanged for victory, and they can defeat William, the worst enemy of the dark elves, then they can be regarded as a well-deserved death. It's just a pity that things are not like that at all. Sentinel warfare is important and important, but it is not important to say that it is not important. All in all, the most important thing is that such a sentinel battle cannot determine the outcome of the war.

That's it, in the later stages of the outpost battle, William's cavalry clearly suppressed the cavalry of the Ottoman Empire.

In the case that the Ottoman Empire does not want to send more Praetorian Guards and Dark Elves into battle. The Turks and Levants alone could not help the cavalry units of the expeditionary force. Even the Dark Elf generals put pressure on the Turks and the Levants, and even scolded them. The Turkic and Levantine commanders were superficially submissive, and seemed to be restless and obedient.

But in fact, they also have their own calculations in mind.

Although, the current situation seems to be dominated by the Ottoman Empire. But who can say for sure what will happen in the future? William, a terrible enemy, has not done miracles or anything once or twice. No one knows what hole cards he has, and no one knows if he can turn the tables this time.

If William turns the tables this time, then it is very likely that he will soon become the new master of the Ottoman Empire.

In this way, they suffered countless casualties in the war against William, what is it?

Taking a step back, even if William didn't perform another miracle, he failed. So how much benefit can they get?

Indeed, the territory of the Zoroastrian Empire was very good. But how much could they get? Whether it was gold or silver, territory, or whatever, the final one to take the lion's head would have been the dark elves.

Moreover, their foundation, their right to speak, lies in the number of their troops.

This war with William is bound to become a brutal battle. Heavy casualties, killing people.

If they foolishly exhausted their armies in battle, then the commanders of the Ottoman Empire without an army - especially not the Dark Elves - then what were they? What status did they have? I am afraid that they would end up with something worse than a dog?

It was for these reasons that the cavalry units of the Ottoman Empire and the cavalry of the new annex of the expeditionary force, although there were no channels of communication between the two sides, were tacitly acquiesced. Neither side has contributed to the effort. One moment he wins, the next he wins. Even the two sides launched some idiots that no one liked, to brush each other's heads with each other in exchange for military merits.

William and Fatima knew more or less about this kind of thing, but they also knew that it was very difficult to stop these wall grasses. Anyway, as long as this war can be won, then they will come over and kneel like pugs again. When the time comes, we will continue to blackmail them fiercely, use them ruthlessly, and use them like animals to death. I can't get angry with them or anything at this moment.

More than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye. The frost is still falling, but the temperature continues to drop, and it will probably snow in a few days. On this freezing day, William happened to inspect the camp and heard bursts of cheers from the Ottoman army camp opposite.

"Opponent, it should be the artillery delivered. William thought to himself: "Since this is the case, then this war should also officially begin." ”

Thinking of this, William immediately gave an order: "All the officers and men of the expeditionary force, enter the battle preparation, all artillery and infantry units are in place, all the batteries and fortresses are on first level alert!

With William's order, a large number of Praetorian Guard heralds turned on their horses, and then advanced in all directions of the position as fast as they could. At the same time, the staff officer beside William. Freya, who had actually become his deputy, and his wife, Charomie, looked at him with some concern.

"Don't worry. William smiled, "It's just a dark elf." We've beaten them before, haven't we? This time it's just a re-enactment of Ruthenia. Nothing to be afraid of. ”

Although William said so, these staff officers, his aunt and wife were not stupid. If you think about it a little, you can understand that the situation is completely different from what it was in Ruthenia.

At that time, it was an internal battle in Ruthenia, and although the number of troops under William's hands was a little worse than that of the dark elves, it was not very large.

What's more, those armies were all elite regular troops, the Praetorian Guard. And unlike now, the vast majority were a rabble of newly annexed troops, or temporary conscripted Cossacks.

William had enough confidence at that time, but whether William has this confidence now, everyone has to draw a question mark in their hearts.

At the same time, there was a rush on the positions of the expeditionary force, and everyone was preparing for war at the same time.

The Dark Elves are just as busy. As William had guessed, their artillery unit had finally caught up - more than seven hundred guns of all kinds. There are even more than thirty 64-pound cannon cannons, which will be the strongest help for the Dark Elf army.

"Wait, William von Hereford. The female Sudan Fatima was high-spirited: "I will never lose this war like the last time!"
