January 10, Ptolemes Sibaid city on the Nile River.
The Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Corps of the Kingdom of Geron entered to distribute food and help the hungry people who had run out of food, because the upper echelons of the city had already fled with supplies and useful people.
Of course, the food is not given in vain. The door panels must be donated to help the fifth crossbow cavalry regiment of the Gron Kingdom cross the Nile River.
The Nile front was long, for both sides.
The Gron Army deployed troops along the line, and the Eastern Roman Army also arranged accordingly. Opposite the Gron Kingdom's Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Legion were two legions of the New Babylon Fortress, and the New Babylon Fortress's Third All-Purpose Light Cavalry Legion, plus a slave Archer Legion.
Patrols from both sides searched the river banks, and a regiment could not cross the river undetected.
However, this premise is within the search range. …
On the other side, the New Babylonian fortress area.
The Gron army and the Eastern Roman army faced each other across the Nile River and used small boats to communicate and negotiate.
The Gron army asked the Eastern Roman army to retreat, but the Eastern Roman army naturally refused.
The Eastern Roman Army asked the Gron Army to retreat, but the Gron Army naturally refused.
After talking nonsense for a while, we dispersed.
Because the Gron army's crossbows were too powerful, the Eastern Roman army was waiting for reinforcements in order to use the human sea tactic to win with one blow. It would take at least ten days to go back and forth, at least three days to report the news, and at least about seven days to travel by sea.
Yamazaki was waiting for the Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Corps of the Kingdom of Geron. When they crossed the river, the situation opened up.
At that time, the rafts for crossing the river from the city of Okrages will be taken out, and the rafts for crossing the river built by the city of Alexandria will also be laid out.
It will then depend on how the Eastern Roman Army chooses.
Divide your troops and defeat them one by one.
If they form a group, then surround them and attack them.
Through the animals, Yamasaki could clearly see the battlefield and the deployment of the Eastern Roman Army's troops. No matter how the Eastern Roman Army changed, he could make timely adjustments.
The first wave of reinforcements from Eastern Rome have just arrived. It will take time to distribute them to the entire east coast front. The city of Ocreges is two hundred kilometers away in a straight line, and Ptolemes Sibaid is two hundred kilometers away in a straight line. Four hundred kilometers away.
The Gelong Army was three days ahead of them. Three days was enough to dominate the war. …
At night, the west bank of the middle and upper reaches of the Nile River.
Taking advantage of the dark night, most of the fifth crossbow cavalry regiment of the Kingdom of Gelong led their horses out of the camp with the door panel. They got on their horses after they were far away. They traveled up the river for more than ten miles to cross the water. They lay on the door panel and were led by the horses. The river goes.
A small number of people stayed in the Sibaid City area of Ptolemes and continued to patrol on horseback with torches.
Originally, the patrols were done on a rotating basis, but now they took care of it. Anyway, only the torches could be seen on the other side, and the number of people and their locations could only be determined through the torches. It was impossible to see clearly who was holding the torch.
And in this way, the other party would never have thought that the Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Corps of the Kingdom of Geron had already crossed the river. …
January 11, morning, east bank of the middle and upper reaches of the Nile River.
After resting, the crossbow cavalry began to attack, and the slave archer regiment patrol of the New Babylon Fortress immediately discovered them.
How could such a large group of people be invisible in broad daylight? Moreover, they were marching, and their target was the cavalry archer camp.
The warning horn awoke the camp, but it was too late.
When they hurriedly gathered, the crossbow cavalry had already arrived outside the camp.
Crossbow arrows were flying like rain, and the soldiers took cover one after another, and some even ran away directly.
After being persuaded to surrender, the two legions surrendered.
After collecting their weapons and equipment and leaving some people to look after them, the remaining men of the Gron Kingdom's Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Corps left with the harvested horses.
At the same time, the team on the west bank sent people to inform, and the operation went smoothly. They used two horses and eight horses to ensure safety and quickly inform the city of Okrages. …
At noon, the Paryusiam Fortress area.
The sixth and seventh crossbow cavalry regiments of the Gron Kingdom retreated across the river in great distress under the constant harassment from the other side.
The river is not wide, and the large catapults of both sides can theoretically cover each other. However, the Gron Kingdom uses relatively lighter iron oil cans, while the Eastern Roman Kingdom uses relatively heavier stone bullets. In this way It means that the Kingdom of Gelong has the upper hand.
It's just that the Eastern Roman Kingdom spent human lives, sent troops to harass them from time to time, and kept attacking all night long. They came and left, came again, and the two crossbow cavalry legions were exhausted and had to retreat to rest. …
Afternoon, outside Alexandria.
Fro arrived with two Gothic heavy armored regiments. They had already settled their families and could fight with peace of mind. They also brought a lot of combat supplies.
The Gothic Heavy Army is equipped with alloy full-body ring armor, which is broken down into vests, shorts, arm guards, gauntlets, leg guards, shin guards, boots, helmets, and visors.
In addition to large shields, weapons include spears, poleaxes, battle axes, war hammers, pickaxes, etc. They are all deadly weapons anyway.
Long-range weapons are ordinary iron throwing axes, javelins, and alloy crossbows.
Their mission is to fight in urban streets and occasionally act as nails to intercept enemy troops.
Their problem is that the equipment is still too heavy, but there is no good solution now. …
On the afternoon of January 12, the city of Okreges was located in the middle and lower reaches of the Nile River.
The fifth crossbow cavalry legion of the Gron family took a posture to cross the river on the west bank. The two legions on the east bank, the second all-powerful light cavalry legion of the New Babylon Fortress, plus a slave archer cavalry legion, also reduced their defenses and prepared to intercept.
If you are on the shore, bows and arrows are indeed no match for the alloy crossbow, but it is different if one is in the water.
Just then, the sound of horse hooves came.
When the agreed time came, the Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Corps of the Kingdom of Geron arrived on the battlefield.
After they obtained a large number of horses from the two legions, they rode at least two horses and overcame the deserters, arriving before the news reached the area of Okrages City.
"Enemy attack!"
There's no point in shouting, it's too late.
The fifth crossbow cavalry regiment of the Kingdom of Gelong rushed past their flanks, crossbow bolts flew down like rain, and the formations of the two regiments were suddenly in chaos.
The Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Corps of the Kingdom of Geron circled back again, using the range of the alloy crossbows to beat them and force them to surrender. The slave regiment immediately surrendered, and the regular regiment hesitated and surrendered.
The fifth crossbow cavalry regiment of the Gron family successfully crossed the river, leaving some to guard the prisoners, while the others took their horses and rafts on the road. …
On the other side is the Paryusiam Fortress area.
Under the cover of the large trebuchets, the first and second Gothic heavy infantry regiments of the Gron family and the sixth and seventh crossbow cavalry regiments of the Gron kingdom crossed the river again.
In the evening, he retreated again. …
In the evening, the east bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Nile River.
The fifth crossbow cavalry regiment of the Gron Kingdom and the fifth crossbow cavalry regiment of the Gron family attacked the Eastern Roman reinforcements who were camping. They were originally preparing to rush to the aid of the Okreges City area and the Ptolemes Sibaid City area.
The two all-powerful cavalry regiments and the four miscellaneous mercenary regiments in the Paliusiaim Fortress did not expect to encounter the enemy, thinking that the enemy was still on the other side.
The six legions were forced to surrender, and in order to guard them, the fifth crossbow cavalry legion of the Gron family stayed and led them on a slow march. …
At night, the Morris Lake oasis area in the middle and lower reaches of the Nile River.
The fleeing soldiers rushed to the Eastern Roman army camp on the east bank, allowing them to finally get information about the Kingdom of Gron crossing the river.
Five legions, the First All-Purpose Light Cavalry Legion of New Babylon Fortress, one Slave Archer Legion, the newly reinforced Seventh All-Purpose Heavy Armor Legion, and two miscellaneous mercenary legions.
Before they could react, the Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Corps of the Kingdom of Geron followed the defeated troops and launched a night attack amidst the sound of the patrol's warning horn.
Out of love for the horses, he did not drive the large number of harvested horses to the horse riding company camp, but used crossbow arrows.
The miscellaneous mercenary army collapsed directly, and due to their influence, except for the Seventh Almighty Heavy Armored Corps, everyone else ran away.
Regardless of the defeated army, the 5th Crossbow Cavalry Corps of the Gelon Kingdom divided into two groups, guarding the heavy armored corps along the way, laying out rafts along the way, and connecting the 6th Crossbow Cavalry Corps of the Gelon Family on the other side to cross the river, and then the 6th Crossbow Cavalry Corps of the Gelon Family The Crossbow Cavalry Corps fortified and guarded the Heavy Armored Corps, and the Gron Kingdom's Fifth Crossbow Cavalry Corps rested. …
January 13, morning, New Babylon Fortress.
A large number of defeated troops made it known that the middle and upper reaches of the Nile River were completely lost, and at least three legions of the Gron Kingdom were on the east bank of the middle and upper reaches.
Whether to send troops and how many troops to send are questions. If there are too few, they will be eaten up. If there are too many, they will be held back.
There are still two legions watching on the east bank of the fortress, and there are more than a dozen legions in the Nile Delta to the north of the fortress, who can come over at any time.
The land army on the east bank of the Nile added reinforcements, and a total of forty legions had now lost nearly one-third. …
