Catherine thought for a moment and immediately ordered: "Order the soldiers and horses attacking England to stop attacking, leaving only 100,000 men to defend on the spot." The army and navy were all withdrawn. The navy converges with the navy left behind in the Mediterranean region to attack the Daming sea fortress in the east of the Red Sea, and wait for the opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Daming navy! If you can do this, you will cross the ocean to the east to attack the shores of the Ming Dynasty! The army immediately rushed to the aid of Persia, and at the same time mobilized the guards of the Arab region to rush to the aid of Persia! Ordered Bona to go south to the Persian region, as the commander of the Persian side, responsible for commanding the battle between the Persian region and the Ming army! Kahn was in charge of the defense of the Caucasus! Also, send a message to Goode and tell him to be on guard! The ministers agreed in unison.

When the meeting was dismissed, Catherine left only two Home Secretaries.

Catherine asked Ozil, the Left Minister of the Interior, "Is there any reply from the Byzantine Empire?" ”

Ozil saluted and said, "I was about to report to Your Majesty." I have just received a reply from the Byzantine Empire, and they are willing to join forces with us to attack the Ming people. ”

Catherine nodded, "Good! With the Byzantine Empire's troops, the initiative on the battlefield is in our hands! ”

The Right Minister of the Interior, Cam, said depressedly: "But the price we paid is really not small! ”

Catherine said: "If you want to instigate others to send troops to help us, you will naturally have to pay a price. However, it is not enough to say that the price is very high, the territory we promised, except for the Caucasus, has been occupied by the Ming Dynasty, anyway, it is not in our hands, so why not be generous! Both ministers felt that His Majesty had a point.

Cam frowned and said, "The offensive of the Great Ming Army is really much beyond our previous expectations! I really don't know how the Ming people could be so confident and come to attack the Persian region! Didn't they know that if they could not capture Persia in a short time, they would be very likely to be encircled by our army? Cam's words make a lot of sense. The Persian region is sandwiched between the Arab region and the Tianzhu region, once the attack of the Yanyun army is frustrated, and the main army of the Arbic region and the Tianzhu region of the Shenluo army arrives again, then the Ming army that entered the Persian region is very likely to be in a desperate situation.

Ozil felt that Cam was reasonable, so he couldn't help but nod and frowned: "This Ming Emperor is really adventurous!" ”

Catherine flashed a look of remembrance and muttered, "He's more than adventurous!" ......" When the two of them saw Catherine like this, they couldn't help but feel strange in their hearts, and they felt that His Majesty and the Ming Emperor seemed to know each other.

Catherine retracted her thoughts and said to the two: "The victory or defeat of this battle is very important, I will go to the Persian region myself!" ”

The two ministers were taken aback, and Cam immediately objected: "I don't approve of Your Majesty's personal conquest!" On the battlefield, it is unpredictable, if Your Majesty has three longs and two shorts, the empire will fall into chaos in an instant! ”

Catherine said resolutely: "I have already decided, so don't persuade you anymore!" The two looked at each other and felt a little helpless.

Catherine glanced at the two of them and ordered, "In my absence, the military and political affairs will be handled by the two of you leading the cabinet. You don't have to ask me for anything. The two bowed in agreement.

Catherine looked up into the distance, her beautiful eyes showing a look of hope and excitement.

After the two ministers left, the Holy Emperor's female guard beside Catherine said angrily, "Why did you suddenly decide to go on a personal expedition?" If the Holy Emperor has something to do with you, it won't be delayed! ”

Catherine said indifferently, "I have already done everything I should have done, and the Holy Emperor will not have anything to do with me." He glanced at the Holy Emperor's female guard and said, "You stay here, you can contact them if there is anything!" Seeing that the Holy Emperor's female guard was still trying to persuade her, he intercepted her words and said, "As the Empress of the Empire, I should also personally recruit at this time to boost morale!" I don't think the Holy Emperor wants to see it. The Holy Roman Empire has been defeated by the Ming people, right? The Holy Emperor's Female Guard was speechless.

It was transferred to the Ming military camp outside the city of Horamabad in the Persian region.

Today, the Ming army has occupied almost all the land north of the Gross Mountains. The so-called Gross Mountains are a mountain range in the Persian region near the Persian Gulf, and the only area that the HRE still occupies today is the land south of the Gros Mountains. The aforementioned city of Horamabad is located in the northernmost part of this area, backed by the Gross Mountains, the city is built on the mountain, the walls are tall and strong, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even with the combat strength of the Ming army, it is difficult to break through the city without suitable siege equipment.

At present, most of the defenders of the HRE in the Persian region have been destroyed by the Ming army, and now only 50,000 or 60,000 regular troops and 100,000 Persian servants are left to guard the line of the Gros Mountains. And more than half of these armies were hoarded in the city of Khoramabad. Therefore, for the Ming army, whether it can break through the city of Horamabad in a short period of time is very critical to the attempt of the entire campaign.

Yang Peng sat in the big tent and looked at the information that had just been sent, and then put down the information. Yelu Hanyu, who was standing on the side, asked, "What is the action of the HRE?" ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "The Shenluo side is a little anxious. They had ceased their war against England and were moving their amphibious armies from the west to the east. In addition, there are signs of large-scale mobilization of the regular army and servant army of the HRE in the Arab region, and they must also come to reinforce this side. By the way, the HRE Empress Catherine has decided to go on a personal expedition, and the team has left the imperial capital! ”

Yelu Hanyu smiled: "Is the royal driving pro-conquest?" She's learning big brother! Then he thought: "But this time the HRE side is really menacing!" I estimate that they will not only concentrate their forces on the road to the Persian region to fight with us, but also mobilize the main forces of the navy out of the Red Sea, attack our sea fortresses, and try to annihilate our navy! They are going to fight us in a real all-out showdown! Yang Peng nodded.

Yan Ji came in from outside, first said hello to Yelu Hanyu, and then said to Yang Peng: "Husband, I have already sent Shi Liancheng a flying pigeon biography according to your order!" ”

Yang Peng nodded.

Yan Ji showed a worried look and said, "Husband, this plan of yours is so grand, I'm only worried about whether our troops are enough?" ”

Yang Peng smiled and pondered: "Our strength does not have any advantage compared to Shenluo, and it can even be said that we are at a disadvantage. However, the outcome of a war does not depend entirely on the number of troops. We still have our own advantages. Then he looked at Yelu Hanyu and said, "Mei'er, you are going to the north tomorrow, do you need anything?" ”

Yelu Hanyu suddenly turned red, and her beautiful eyes looked at Yang Peng with affection. Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then understood, nodded with a smile: "This matter is easy to do, very easy to do!" Tonight, husband, I will come to comfort my wife! Yan Ji smiled, her beautiful eyes full of narrowness. And Yelu Hanyu couldn't help but be ashamed and annoyed when he saw that his lover said it so bluntly in front of other sisters.

……

That night, Yang Peng naturally did his best to die! Yan Ji slept alone in another tent and did not come to disturb the couple, who were about to separate. But since her tent was at the back of the tent, in the dead of night, the movement in the tent reached her ears clearly. Her heart was rippling and she couldn't sleep, she kept tossing and turning, and kept complaining about her lover and Yelu Hanyu in her heart. There was even a feeling in my heart that the two of them were simply deliberate.

Finally everything calmed down, Yan Ji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and closed her eyes.

In the big tent, Yelu Hanyu, who had just endured a few blessings, couldn't move a finger, lying on his lover's chest and panting.

Yang Peng stroked Yelu Hanyu's slippery skin and smiled: "It's not too early, let's fall asleep obediently." ”

Jeruhanyu squirmed in her lover's arms to make herself more comfortable, and then closed her eyes. Yang Peng was in good spirits, looking at the top of the tent and thinking wildly.

Yelu Hanyu suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Big brother, this time in the big battle, although the big brother is very meticulous, but I am still a little worried!" The enemy's strength is very strong, and I am afraid that if we don't get one right, we will not only fail to achieve our goal, but will suffer unimaginable losses! ”

Yang Peng nodded, stroked Yelu Hanyu's skin and said, "That's why I asked you to go to the north as my backup." After a pause, he smiled, "There's something I almost forgot to tell you." The military government and the army of the whole country have been assembled and are currently being mobilized. I estimate that the worst outcome of this battle should not be a major defeat of our army, and the greatest possibility should be that we are in a stalemate with the HRE army in the Persian region and on the eastern front of Tianzhu! ”

Yelu Hanyu nodded, "It's very possible!" He glanced at his lover and said, "In addition, I am most worried about the sea!" The enemy is obviously going to adopt a strategy of advancing by land and water. Their naval strength is far superior to ours, and if our navy is unable to withstand their attack and is entered into the east by the HRE navy, it will be a big problem! ”

Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully and said, "I'm also worried about this matter!" The naval power of the HRE side is beyond imagination! Then he looked down at Yelu Hanyu and said with a smile: "But don't worry too much!" I have confidence in our soldiers, and I believe that they will be able to withstand the offensive of the HRE Navy! Yelu Hanyu was originally very worried, but now when he heard his lover's words, his worried heart couldn't help but let go of a lot.

Bona received orders from His Majesty and the Cabinet, and immediately handed over to Karn, and led his cronies on the road. The journey was day and night, passing through the territory of the Byzantine Empire, and soon arrived at Khorramabad, which was overwhelmed by the heavy army of the Ming Dynasty. Boeaune's arrival boosted the morale of Horamabad's defenders. Bohner immediately summoned Dimu and other generals to discuss the military.

Just then, a herald rushed in. When they saw this, they all stopped talking, and looked at the herald.

The herald rushed to Boehner and saluted: "Your Excellency, the cabinet has sent a flying pigeon herald. Then the herald presented a letter.

Bona hurriedly took the summons, opened it and read it, and then excitedly said to the generals: "Let me tell you the good news, the first batch of reinforcements from the Arab region is already on the way!" There were 100,000 Arab servants, 50,000 main troops, and a large number of artillery! ”

When everyone heard this, they were all happy. Kadimu said excitedly: "As soon as this army arrives, we will no longer have to be afraid of the Ming Army!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

Bona put down the letter and said to everyone: "This is only the first support army, and more troops will arrive in the future." His Majesty and the Cabinet had mobilized all the Arab armies, as well as some of the troops defending the country, as well as the large army that had been on the expedition to England. ”

Everyone couldn't help but show shock, and General Boll exclaimed: "Your Majesty has mobilized so many troops!" It seems that Your Majesty is going to fight to the death with the Ming people in this war! Everyone looked excited and excited.

"Your Majesty will soon arrive in the Persian region to personally direct the battle," Bohner said. We must fight a few beautiful wars before His Majesty comes! The generals agreed in unison.

Bona patrolled the city defenses day and night, cheering up the soldiers and civilians in the city, and at the same time constantly sent scouts out of the city to reconnoiter every move of the Ming army. What made Bohner feel strange and uneasy was that the Ming army had not been attacking for several days, and the army was quietly stationed outside the city.

At ten o'clock that day, Bona was planning a battle strategy against the enemy with several generals in the official office.

Boehner said to the generals: "I want to give the enemy a surprise attack, do you think it is feasible?" The generals looked at each other. Di Mu said: "Your Excellency Marshal, I also desperately want to defeat the Ming Army!" However, the Ming army is by no means an ordinary opponent, and it is only afraid that it will suffer unnecessary defeats and losses if it attacks rashly! ”

Bonn immediately scoffed: "Dimu, you are frightened by the Ming people!" The soldiers of our great Holy Roman Empire, no one is our opponent, we can defeat any strong enemy, and the Ming people are no exception! ”

Di Mu frowned and said: "General Bonn has also fought with the Ming people, don't you know the combat effectiveness of the Ming people?" In the wilderness, even if the forces are equal, it is difficult for us to achieve victory, not to mention that our forces are inferior to theirs now! I also believe that our great Holy Roman Empire army will be able to defeat any strong enemy! But we also have to admit the facts! Denying the facts will cause the empire to pay unnecessary losses! ”

Bonn snorted coldly and mocked: "It's useless to say more, you're a coward!" ”

Di Mu was furious, and pressed her hand to the hilt of her sword and said sharply: "You have repeatedly insulted me, I will duel with you!" Bonn said indifferently: "I accept your request for a duel!" ”

Boehner shouted angrily, "Shut up both of you!" The two stopped arguing, but the anger in Dimu's heart did not subside.

Boehner said: "What Dimu said is not unreasonable. But I don't think the enemy would have thought that we would dare to go out of the city and raid. Naturally, this battle cannot defeat them in one fell swoop, but at least it can cost them dearly. Your Majesty is coming, and we have to come up with a decent record before Your Majesty arrives! Otherwise, even if Your Majesty doesn't blame us, we will have no face in front of other soldiers! The generals felt that Boehner had a point, and they couldn't help but nod.

Seeing that the generals had no objections, Boehner prepared to give the order.

At this moment, a scout officer hurried in and hurriedly reported: "Your Excellency, Marshal, come and take a look!" The Ming army has retreated! ”

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and then the generals led by Bona poured out of the hall.

A group of people hurriedly came to the city wall, looked out of the city, and sure enough, they saw the smoke and dust in the camp of the Ming army outside the city, and the Ming army was really retreating. Bonn couldn't help but shout: "The enemy wants to run!" What's going on? ”

Bona thought for a moment, and then showed a look of sudden realization, and said: "The enemy must have also learned the news that reinforcements from all walks of life of our army are about to arrive!" They are scared! When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads in deep understanding. Bona turned to the generals and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, our fighter plane has arrived!" The enemy retreated in a hurry, and we can take the opportunity to go out of the city to chase and kill, and even if we can't completely defeat the enemy army, we will definitely kill him and suffer heavy losses! "Everyone has been beaten by round after round of raids by the Ming army these days, and they are dizzy and depressed, and at this time, when they see the opportunity to take revenge on the Ming army, they are all gearing up and excited.

However, Bona did not immediately lead his army. After all, he is a veteran of the killing field, and he knows that the enemy army is still on guard at this time, and only when all the opponent's soldiers and horses are on the road and have walked for a while, that is the best time to raid. Before this, Bona had gathered the city's army, gathered near the city gates, and when the opportunity came, he immediately attacked. Bona was to lead the attack himself, and the responsibility of remaining in the city was given to Dimu.

Time passed slowly in the anxious waiting. Two hours seemed like a year to the HRE soldiers. Finally, a scout reported that all the troops of the Ming Dynasty had already hit the road, and that the last retreating force had been gone for almost an hour.

Bona was staring at this time, and as soon as he heard the report of the scout, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and the army rushed out like a torrent of open gates. Nearly 100,000 troops followed the retreating route of the Ming army.

Soon after, the army led by Bohner caught up with the rear of the Ming army, and immediately rushed across the mountains and fields. The Ming army was obviously caught off guard, and did not expect the enemy to catch up with the surprise attack at this time, and after hastily resisting for a while, the whole collapsed and fled to the northeast.

Bona and the others saw that they had won the Ming army for a while, and they couldn't help but boost their morale, and they immediately chased and killed even more excitedly.

In the evening, the two sides fought another battle, and the Ming army was defeated again. Bona marched forward with a high army, trying to catch up with the Ming Emperor Yang Peng and capture him. While galloping on his horse, Bona shouted to the soldiers who were also galloping: "Emperor Ming is in front, see who can be the lucky one to capture him!" The soldiers were excited and added more force. Everyone wants to be the lucky one who captures Yang Peng, because everyone knows that if anyone captures Yang Peng, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then endless wealth and glory will be in hand.

At this time, the sun had completely submerged into the horizon, the bright moon hung above the sky, and the mountains and forests and pastures were dimly reflected by the moonlight, and it was not very clear.

Bona and the others have pursued the Ming army for dozens of miles and came to a hill.

Bona didn't know where the Ming army had fled for a while, so he couldn't help but restrain his horse and ordered the army to stop advancing. The army of nearly 100,000 gradually stopped, and the boom gradually disappeared.

Bona looked around, and he was in the middle of a hill, surrounded by clusters of woods, which in the moonlight looked like black hats on the top of the mountains.

Boehner asked Bonn, who was beside him, "Where did the enemy flee?" ”

Bonn looked around, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just saw that group of routs fled here!" ”

Boehner said anxiously: "You can't let them escape, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Then he said to Bonn: "There are scouts on all sides, be sure to find the traces of the enemy in the shortest possible time!" Bonn replied and immediately dispatched all the scouts. A dozen scouts sped away in the north, south, and south, and soon their figures disappeared into the night. Boehner and his army waited in place.

Not long after, the scout who went to the northeast to reconnoiter came back and reported urgently: "Your Excellency Marshal, next to the woods in front, there is a Da Ming infantry army lined up, probably a few thousand people!" ”

Bona was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Found them!" Those infantry must have stayed behind the palace! Then he said to Bonn: "Immediately lead all the cavalry up and crush them in one go!" We can't afford to spend too much time with them! Bonn replied, and immediately beckoned behind him, and then nearly 10,000 horsemen followed Bonn and galloped away in the northeast direction.

Bonn led 10,000 cavalry to quickly bypass a small hill, and sure enough, he saw a Ming infantry army of about 3,000 men lined up on the avenue between the two hills, cutting off the entire avenue.

Bonn was so excited that he immediately ignored the three-seven-twenty-one and rushed forward. All of a sudden, I saw thousands of horses galloping, rushing towards the Yanyun army like a tide! The roar of iron hooves and the shouting of the cavalry are truly thrilling!

In the blink of an eye, the 10,000 cavalry led by Bonn slammed into the Ming army's military formation like a stormy wave! The sound of a huge crash was no less than the scene of the waves crashing on the shore!

A huge noise passed, but the Ming army stood in place like a rock, and the scene of devastating flesh and blood that Bonn hoped for did not appear. On the contrary, many of the Shinra war riders dismounted. It turned out that at the front of the Ming army's military formation stood a row of large shields that were taller than people, thick and heavy, and behind the large shields were several rows of pikemen in heavy armor.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
