"Caesar, hurrah! Caesar, hurrah! Caesar, hurrah"

Just when the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire united hundreds of thousands of Constantiniya people who were forced into a corner with a speech: "The Turkish Empire is big, but we only have Constantiniya."

Nicholas I, the mortal enemy of the Stantinians, rode his horse and whip into the ancient city of Stara Zagora at the foot of the Balkan Mountains amid the cheers of the remnants of the Roman Empire, where he would command his

Twenty-two Roman legions launched a fierce attack on Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire that had fallen in 376 years.

There is no doubt about victory!

At this time, no one in the whole world thought that the Rakshasa, no, the Eastern Roman Empire would lose. I am afraid that even the Mahar who was leading the militia recruited from the city of Constantinople to the front of Edirne

Maode II didn't even think he would win. He just had no way out and had no choice but to die tragically.

In the view of the proud Nicholas I, the upcoming Battle of Adrianople was just a wonderful performance by the world's strongest army. The Eastern Roman Army was recognized as the best in the world and could not lose to

Turkish.

The palace of Caesar Nicholas I of Rome and the former enemy headquarters were located in the city hall of Stara Zagora. When Nicholas arrived there surrounded by his cavalry guards and amid the cheers of the people

, the town hall was already filled with dignitaries waiting for his arrival.

There were envoys and reporters from all over the world stationed in the Rakshasa Empire - they were the audience of this wonderful performance. Seeing the protagonist of this performance, Nicholas I, coming on horseback, these "melon-eating audiences" showed compliments

Smile. There are also several old-fashioned Seagull cameras pointed at this new era of Roman Caesar, taking pictures for a while, and the smoky spotlights make a "pop, pop, pop" sound while smoking,

It was like an old-fashioned musket firing.

Nicholas I was also in high spirits at this time. Like a famous actor who was about to go on stage, he struck some particularly majestic poses on horseback, which the reporters had a great time taking pictures of.

The interim president of the newly independent Greek Republic, Kapodistria, and several other leaders of the Greek independence movement also came. They all wore Rakshasa military uniforms. When they saw Nicholas I coming, they immediately

Raising their arms and shouting "Caesar, Ulla! Caesar, Ulla!", you see what they mean, they don't want to be president or prime minister anymore, they want to be the governor of the Eastern Roman Empire.

This is actually the Greeks' view of the country - compared to ancient Greece, which was too far away, the Eastern Roman Empire, which came to an end only 376 years ago and was once glorious and prosperous, is the motherland in the minds of most Greek people of insight.

There is also Pingxi Wang Wu Zhenzhen who also came to Stara Zagora with a few naval airborne troops in yellow jackets - he just got off the airship. His airship base has been moved from Trik Island to Athens.

An airship landing pad was also set up in Stara Zagora.

These days, in addition to patrolling the Aegean Sea, the airship force commanded by Wu Zhenzhen also conducted reconnaissance over the Turkish positions around Adrianople. The results of the reconnaissance made Wu Zhenzhen, the naval airborne general who knows best land warfare, feel

Very worried.

Because while Nicholas I's army was busy pretending to be the Roman legions, the Ottoman Empire organized countless labor forces and started working day and night on both sides of the Denza River west of Adrianople, building layers of trenches.

Add barbed wire defense system!

In the Battle of Peshawar, Wu Zhenzhen, who used the "Bagua Machine Gun Formation" with machine guns, trenches and barbed wire to harvest a wave of British and Indian heads, knew how powerful this defense system was!

The scale of the trenches and barbed wire defense system built by the Turks west of Adrianople far exceeds the scale of the Bagua array outside Peshawar. Moreover, the Turks' "Bagua array" is not outside Adrianople.

Set up an eight-sided formation, but instead carry out a layer-by-layer defense in depth along the Densa River and Maritsa River (the Densa River is a tributary of the Maritsa River), relying on the Thracian Mountains and the Strandja Mountains.

It is not easy for the Rakshasa people to break through these layers of defense. Although they have twenty-two legions with more than 200,000 people, they do not have many artillery.

It is the configuration of an artillery regiment. At full strength, there are less than 800 barreled artillery pieces. This is still the full number. Under normal circumstances, an army that has advanced hundreds of kilometers will leave behind some equipment, so it can be pulled to Asia.

There are 600 cannons on the front line of Dria Fort.

Of course, what is even more lacking than cannons are cannonballs!

The current Rakshasa country has not abolished serfdom. How strong can a country that retains serfdom have industrial strength? Without the support of strong industry, how can it be possible to let go of the cannonball?

Moreover, in Wu Zhenfa's view, the defensive combination of trenches, barbed wire, and machine guns will greatly reduce the effectiveness of shelling. The effect that tens of thousands of shells could originally achieve is now not necessarily enough for hundreds of thousands.

Therefore, not only is Rakshasa short of artillery shells, it is very likely that the artillery shell reserves of Britain, France, Prussia, and even the Great Ming Dynasty may not be enough. Originally, everyone stored artillery shells based on the experience of the Napoleonic War. In a battle at that time, one or two people were concentrated

Hundreds of artillery fire for an hour or two, and then the infantry charge begins. For a battle involving 100,000 people, it is enough to prepare 30,000 artillery shells. Therefore, a country with a large army like Rakshasa has hundreds of thousands of them.

The cannonballs are enough for ten battles!

But in the current battle of Adrianople, hundreds of thousands of artillery shells may not be enough!

This matter is a bit suspenseful!

Wu Zhenzhen said heartily: "Old Maozi looks like he is going to be bled by Lao Hui H. Should I give him a warning, or should I just follow the big guys and flatter him?"

Just when he thought of this, Nicholas I got off his horse and strode towards Wu Zhenfa.

"Caesar, hurrah! Caesar, hurrah!"

Before Wu Zhenfa could think about it, the Rakshasa generals and Greek generals around him started shouting. He reacted very quickly. He immediately raised his right arm and opened his throat and shouted: "Ula! Ula! Ula.

"

Nicholas I laughed a few times, then waved to his men and said loudly: "Generals, follow me. I want to know when can I sleep in Constantinople?"

After saying that, he quickly walked into his palace and the former enemy headquarters. A group of Rakshasa and Greek generals hurriedly followed Nicholas into the house. Wu Zhenfa also hurriedly followed and walked into Nicholas I together.

's headquarters.

Marshal Wittgenstein, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Rakshasa Army, and a group of staff also followed Nicholas I into the headquarters. Maps were hung everywhere in the headquarters, and telephone lines, telegraph lines, and even

There is a long and thin antenna set up upstairs, the sound of ticking and the ringing of the phone are constantly ringing, and the staff are walking around. Everyone looks like they have a chance to win.

Nicholas I pretended to stand in front of a map hanging on the wall. Looking at the densely packed Turkish defense lines drawn on the map, he frowned slightly and asked, "What are these lines?"

"It is the enemy's defense line," Marshal Wittgenstein said. "Airship reconnaissance showed that the Turks built eight lines of defense between the Thracian Mountains and the Strandia Mountains. The shortest one is twenty kilometers long, and the longest one is 20 kilometers long.

It is about fifty kilometers long. These defense lines are very thin, consisting of only an anti-infantry trench, a barbed wire line, a fence, an infantry trench and some circular fortifications. In addition, between each defense line, there are more than a dozen

They are connected by long and narrow traffic ditches.”

Nicholas I nodded, "How long will it take to break through?"

Marshal Wittgenstein said confidently: "In five to ten days. At most half a month, we can advance beyond the walls of Constantinople!"

Nicholas nodded and said with a smile: "Very good. Let's start as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Your Majesty Caesar!"
