The beginning of winter is not a good thing for Europe. It is now late autumn and the temperature is already very cold.
In the winter when food is scarce, even wars are occasionally postponed.
No one in a country with insufficient food reserves wants to start a war.
But Liu Zheng didn't think so. As the saying goes, the trick of a soldier is to win by surprise.
However, his idea was quickly used by other generals in food reserves, which slapped Lightspeed in the face.
During the recent period, Long Yanjun's food reserves were not enough, and it was already late autumn.
According to inference, the current trends of these European countries are likely to launch a large-scale battle before winter.
Long Yanjun must be prepared.
Liu Zheng strongly agrees with this view. The current war situation in Europe is very chaotic, and almost all countries in Europe have participated in the war.
Prussia still had only a few allies.
But as the pace of the war accelerated, the Catholic Pope and the Orthodox Patriarch entered the war after reaching a consensus.
Established the Holy Crusade to fight against Protestantism.
The situation in Prussia immediately became critical again. There were two major Protestant countries in Europe, one was Britain and the other was Prussia.
Britain was isolated on the sea and was basically unaffected by wars in Europe.
Then Prussia was the only country left with the pressure of the Holy Crusaders' crusade in Europe.
Sometimes Liu Zheng would sigh very much, what on earth did Frederick II do to offend all the countries in Europe?
Looking around, the whole world is full of enemies!
There is only one bad ally, Britain. Until now, Britain's aid, Long Yan and Prussia, has not been seen.
Liu Zheng sighed towards Xie Chan: "It's better that I am popular."
"Long Yan's surrounding countries are all trustworthy allies."
Xie Chan sneered, exposing Liu Zheng's shameless behavior.
"Yes, the countries surrounding Longyan Kingdom are either your people or have become your people. Who in Longyan is less charming than Lord Liu Zheng, the chief assistant of Longyan."
"The eldest princess of this country, the princess of that country..."
Liu Zheng chuckled and threw Xie Chan to the ground. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Chan's attractive face: "Those people are not as good-looking as Princess Longyang."
Xie Chan snorted, and Liu Zheng chuckled.
…
Egypt, although seasonally it is almost winter.
But there is no cold at all here, and it is even a little hot, at least this is how Jiang Xuan and Nashadir feel.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan was sitting in Cairo to prevent surprise attacks by Britain or other colonists.
Jiang Xuan still has quite a lot of experience with this.
Nashadir is currently in the port city, where he is urgently deploying troops and food.
The biggest shortage when marching and fighting in Egypt is not food and grass, but water resources. Fortunately, this is a port city, and water resources are not so scarce.
The climate here is different from other places. Rain comes from time to time, so water resources are not so scarce.
There are local forces in this city, an alliance of veterans, a security organization composed of Egyptian nobles, and a militia union.
They all declared their surrender to Nashadir and declared that they would never engage in any small tricks.
Nashadir was relieved by their words.
After all, these three organizations are often subjected to a wave of physical education by their own troops.
Now the city's granary reserves, with the help of these three organizations, have been astonishingly large, enough to support a war.
The vanguard force led by Nashadir went to explore the road. This time, Nashadir personally led the team.
This port city is located on the coast and is one of the few lands in Egypt without desert.
The road leading to another port city is a rare dirt road.
Nashadir led his team to quietly lurk into the French port city. Just by observing outside the city, Nashadir could see the entire city emitting a dark light.
The defenders were unusually numerous.
Nashadir frowned. These defenders were only the outermost defenders, there were so many of them.
There will probably be more inside.
If only he and Jiang Xuan led their troops to attack, they might be defeated.
Nashadir took a breath and was about to withdraw.
It's already dark now, and it's hard to see clearly the specific situation of the defenders here, let alone what the terrain here looks like.
Nashadir is preparing to find a location to continue observing tomorrow.
Preparations before the war must be done thoroughly and adequately.
Nashadir was preparing to sneak away quietly. They hid in the darkness without lighting a lamp for fear of attracting the attention of the French garrison.
They walked in the darkness like ghosts.
Sneaking away, the Frenchman didn't notice what happened just now.
This is not a desert, but a place with some plain characteristics. The temperature difference between day and night is not that big.
The temperature was not that low, and Nashadir lurked among the trees.
After spending the night, wait until daytime the next day.
Nashadir observed again, and the port city in the distance came into his eyes.
The entire city is built in the French architectural style.
The terrain around the city was not complicated, and it could even be said that it was undefeable, but Nashadir's intuition engraved in his bones told him.
If you really think that this place is not as difficult to capture as you think, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
Nashadir continued to observe with Longyan's telescope.
Only then did he discover some details that he had overlooked, because even using a telescope from too far away, it was difficult to see some details clearly.
In this seemingly flat and undefendable port city, Nashadir saw at least ten ambushed French troops.
Not only that, he hadn't noticed it when he first observed it.
Only now did I realize something was wrong. There was only one way to enter this port city.
But the city wall is very tall.
It was made of huge rocks. Nashadir didn't know how high or majestic it was.
At least Nashadir couldn't see clearly from here.
Nashadir took a breath of cold air, but fortunately he observed the terrain in advance.
It's a pity that I don't know what this city looks like inside.
Nashadir shook his head. How could the French let people know what this city was like?
After giving up this idea, Nashadir returned to the port city.
But now there is a group of guests who are not guests in the city.
Nashadir walked into the City Lord's Mansion and saw someone sitting in his seat in the City Lord's Mansion, sipping the tea he had brought from Longyan with calm eyes.
The man looked up and saw Nashadir walking over, and smiled contemptuously: "Nashadir, you are back."
"I don't know where you went, so I drank some of your tea. It tasted good. I have never drunk such fragrant tea."
