Chapter 292
Garris did not know much about the war between cold weapons. He could not effectively guide the cold weapon battle in this era. Instead, he often asked Balian to ask the most basic common sense.
Garris's unique place is that he can build a complete army. He is based on the eyes of the 21st century soldiers and can have a deep and sober understanding of such a violent group such as the army.
What is the need for this group, what state is positive, which can improve combat effectiveness, what is not conducive to unity that will affect combat effectiveness, what role can some part of the war affect the war.
These cognitions are obtained from the downstream summary experience of the long history, and it is precisely the lack of insights and cognition of the ancients in the Middle Ages.
With the victory of the Navy, Garris opened his army and passed the Aka and Haifa along the coast of Palestine, and had reached the Shalun Plain.
The Shalun Plain is a wetland with a swamp. Until the wetland drainage in the early twentieth century, the population was not dense.
The Bible of the Seventy Shi translation, called the Shalun Plain as the "Oak Forest", can be said that this is not a place suitable for humans.
After arriving at this plain, the Crusaders never encountered any decent resistance.
The policy of treating rural areas under the governance of the second kingdom has been spread here. The various good governances of the previous kingdom have been returned at this moment.
Local people have determined that these Crusades are indeed as rumored, and they will not kill innocence, or even levy taxes.
The local rural areas of the Shalun Plain not only did not resist, but also proactively provided food and guide to the Crusaders and asked the Crusaders to help them drive the Turks.
There was no way, after experiencing the surprise of being recovered by the Islamic regime, the local village met with the Turkic Lord.
In order to consolidate local rule and quickly mobilize the army, Saladin divided the surrounding Turkic tribes to divide the Ikta territory.
The Turkita tribe simply and rudely understood the Ikta territory as their respective scope of robbery.
In their understanding, taxation = plunder, strictly speaking, it seems that this is the case. At least when the Crusades collect taxes, they have not thought about fishing. In addition, their own ability is limited. Therefore Direct control, so the image is better.
At the beginning, Saladin tried to stop this barbaric act, but after finding that he did not pay attention to his efforts, he could only listen to it. This is the so -called tree.
After Saladin failed one after another, almost every tribe was thinking about his retreat, and he was thinking about fishing before leaving.
Therefore, the incident became worse, and after the departure of all the good days, the tribes became more and more mad.
Even when the Crusades came to the Shalun Plain, what I saw was not about to meet their own army, but the local Arabs and Greeks were organizing village militia to try to prevent the Turkist's schemes from looting.
Even if there are only a thousand pioneers of the Crusaders, the Turk people who are busy with looting are unintentional in the face of such a pioneer.
With their own looted property and women, they started running. Before walking, those Turkic tribes did not forget to strengthen the wall and burn the village everywhere to prevent the Crusaders from cooperating with the locals.
In the face of this situation, let alone the trained troops in Garris, even the German Cross Army led by Eden.
It is really the Turkic people who do it too much, so that they can do nothing.
In this case, can the Crusaders be robbed?
The helpless German Crusaders pioneers could only grit their teeth and promised the local people to tell them that they would make the Turkish gangsters rope to justice.
Of course, Eden also has Garris. The reason why the discipline that can restrict the army is mainly because the military expenses issued this time have been raised in advance by issuing government bonds.
The soldiers participating in this expedition received their salary for about half a year before sending the troops.
Any plunder without the consent of the headquarters is questioning the authoritative authority of the Cross Army, which is punished seriously.
On the other hand, although the Turk people set fire and burned villages, and destroying farmland in large quantities can be due to the victory of naval battles.
The Venice Fleet and the Kingdom Navy can transport the resources day and night to ensure the abundant food supply of the army. Even outside the march, it can simply relieve the war victims of the war.
This has made most of the Celots control their ideas about looting.
For a while, the local Arabians were surprised to find that these cross -troops from afar are actually a lot higher than the local communities. As for the Turks?
Do they exist in military discipline?
Nowadays, the situation of the Crusaders is not general, but it is very good!
In this case, Eden issued questions at the headquarters.
"What do you say now, I mean, do we need to launch a battle? Do we need to take the initiative to attack?"
As the 8,000 -person troops, the coach who occupied nearly half of the coalition forces, Eden is undoubtedly qualified to attend the headquarters meeting, and the information information of the kingdom is basically made public.
For him, participating in the headquarters meeting on the Kingdom of Jerusalem, I feel that I do n’t have to do anything, and some people send the prepared information information over, and then choose a set of combat plans formulated by the staff on the side. Then there are specialized people to execute.
This is a complete system. From the collection of information, the formulation of combat plans, and the final implementation, professional people are responsible. As the commander -in -law, their more responsibilities are to regulate and control the normal and healthy operation of this system. Essence
He was born in Eden in the 12th century. Before he came into contact with the Kingdom of Jerusalem, he never thought that war could be so simple.
"If you take the initiative to launch the attack, there is actually a hasty. We don't need to impact the long -standing positions of Saladin. At the moment of their navy, I don't need to rush to attack. In fact Can fall into our hands "
Conrad said a little bit, but his meaning of opposition to the offense has actually been revealed.
Conrad briefly talked about the current situation.
"Before we sent troops, the Lion Heart King had begun to work. His goal was Egypt, and when we defeated the Navy of Saladin, we could persuade him to directly send troops."
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
"The soldiers in the rear have also gathered, and began to advance tentatively on Damascus, restraining the garrison over there, and Jordan's direction is also going to attack Jerusalem."
Garris took over the topic and said: "Eden, in this situation, who do you think we and Saladin, who is the party? >
Damascus's troops could not support this side, and his hometown Egypt was about to be landed by the lion heart. Even the Saint City Jerusalem had to face the attack of the Jordan soldiers.
And Garris is here. With the fleet that can be replenished, they can consume it with Saladin and consume the old age.
Even if Saladin himself has the same power, can his generals and soldiers have enough fixed power?
More worse than the Crusaders, Saladin also lacks a complete logistics supply system. The grains required by his army can only be satisfied by robbing the nearby villages by robbing the nearby villages.
However, so two years of war, the landlord's house has no food!
"So we can wait, wait until Saladin retires, or he is lonely."
Garris finally summarized the meeting.
In the past, Saladin had almost unified the Middle East, and he could gather tens of thousands of soldiers to clean up the crusaders. Just two years later, the ratio of the enemy's power was reversed.
Garris still remembered the deduction he had performed again at the beginning.
Regardless of how to push, Saladin has a strategic absolute advantage. The Kingdom of Jerusalem said at most at most. But now, on the contrary, the coalition forces have attacked everywhere, and Saladin stretched out.
Isn't Saladin aware of his current situation?
Of course, he can know that the comparison of the strength of both parties has been widening to the point where he is weak.
In terms of coalition forces, the main force is the main force of the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the German Crusaders, and then it also includes the Militia of the British and French Crusaders, the rear people and the three counties of the Jordan.
These four troops all the way to Saladin's army can say a stable victory.
In terms of force, Saladin can mobilize the total of more than 40,000 forces to participate in the war, less than 50,000. The Crusader Alliance has reached 60,000.
Although there are more than 20,000 European Crusades, but only Garris himself organized a army of nearly 30,000 people.
Three years or 30,000 people, this is not to say what is sturdy, but that Garris is now able to ensure that every soldier who goes to the battlefield has a training time that has accumulated more than three months to ensure that at least half of the soldiers have armor. With sophisticated weapons.
