Wan Qingming introduced: "Bardanis is thirty-seven years old and is a young military member of the Eastern Roman Empire.
At the same time, he is also a two-faced man.
He neither supports the worship of icons nor opposes the movement of destroying icons.
Originally, this person's military position did not Not high, but he chose the right position in several consecutive positions, so he was reused.
He is now the general of the Anatolia Military District, and he is actually a veritable leader.
Damn it, he will support whoever is more powerful.
He has a general named Leo, who is only in his twenties and is a famous general in the Anatonian Military Region.
This time General Su Guanglie led his army to attack the Anatonian Military Region.
At that time, it was Leo who led the army to resist.
Although General Su successfully defeated Leo, he suffered heavy casualties.
In the end, Leo fled into the Taurus Mountains with more than a thousand people."
"Bardanis led an army of 50,000 to fight our army this time.
He has 3,000 armored cavalry under his command.
This is the most elite heavy cavalry in the Eastern Roman Empire.
It can be said that Irina has used all her wealth this time.
In addition to the 3,000 armored cavalry, Baldanis also has 5,000 light cavalry and 5,000 heavy armored infantry.
The remaining 37,000 are light infantry.
According to the investigation of our spies, the enemy's logistics supplies are being continuously transported to the front line. come over" After Wan Qingming finished his introduction, Zhao Ziliang asked: "So far, has Baldanis divided his troops?"
Wan Qingming said: "No, 50,000 troops are approaching our army directly in Dongchang.
I have studied this Baldanis.
Although this man is a representative of the Young and Strong faction of the Eastern Roman Empire, other military generals are studying us.
When thinking about Eastern strategic and tactical thinking, this person has always adhered to Western military thought.
He believes that Western military thought is not weaker than Eastern military thought, but each has its own strengths, depending on how to use them."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Currently, after more than a month of fighting, our two legions are not full.
There are only more than 60,000 people.
Compared with Baldanis' 50,000 people, we do not have an absolute advantage.
However, since they are not We don't care about the gap in military strength with us, so what do we have to fear?
Since ancient times, we have never been tired of tactics.
We can't think that just because Baldanis is a traditional Western soldier, he doesn't know how to use tactics."
Wan Qingming remembered something and said: "Your Majesty, there is a general named Michael who came with Bardanis this time.
This man is in his thirties.
His father is the commander of the Aegean Fleet.
We must be on guard against their army."
Cooperate with the naval fleet to fight, even if there is no such relationship, with Irina's intervention, their navy and army are likely to jointly operate."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, "This is worth noting.
Come here, pass on my order.
From now on, the entire army will be divided into three parts: left, center and right.
Ten thousand cavalry will be allocated from the Fourth Army and the Seventh Army respectively to the left and right armies."
Army, Wen Zhengcheng is the commander of the left army, and Su Guanglie is the commander of the right army.
He alone leads the Chinese army.
The East Factory must go all out to collect all information related to war, economy, and material flow.
Once there is accurate information, it must be collected as quickly as possible.
Delivered as fast as possible” Wen Zhengcheng, Su Guanglie and Wan Qingming clasped their fists together and bowed: "I obey the order."
Wan Qingming's intelligence analysis of Baldanis was very accurate.
This man was a very traditional Western soldier.

He did not use any conspiracy.
In fact, he did not know how to use these methods and did not bother to use them.
He believed that he could command 50,000 soldiers.
The Roman Empire's army defeated Zhao Ziliang's Western Qin Army, so he led his army directly to the Western Qin Army.
Winter was approaching, and Zhao Ziliang did not want to delay any longer.
The war must be ended before winter came.
With the support of intelligence from Dongchang, he also directly led his army to fight against Baldanis.
Although Baldanis was very straightforward, he also had a good way of marching and fighting.
He knew that the Easterners used tricks and was worried about falling into Zhao Ziliang's ambush and trap, so he divided the army into three parts, also divided into three parts: left, middle and right.
Both the army and the right army have 15,000 men, and the remaining 20,000 troops are concentrated in the center army.
The armies of both sides were divided into three groups: left, center, and right.
However, due to the large number of people and the different terrain, they could still remain consistent at first.
However, within a few days, they distanced themselves.
The left army of the Western Qin Dynasty and the right army of the Eastern Roman Empire were the first to encounter each other. , the Eastern Roman left army and right army had less cavalry and more infantry, while the Western Qin army's left army and right army were all cavalry.
Wen Zhengcheng led the Western Qin cavalry to give full play to the advantages of light cavalry, and drove away with one blow.
Don't give the Eastern Roman archers a chance.
On the plains of the Opushkin Military District, the Western Qin cavalry launched attacks from all directions from time to time.
They did not give the Eastern Roman right army a chance to rest for several days and nights, and at the same time cut off their contact with the central and left armies.
On the fourth day after the encounter between the two armies, the Eastern Roman right army could no longer hold on.
It had not only suffered huge physical losses from not sleeping for several days, but also suffered huge mental and psychological pressure.
Finally, on the afternoon of the fourth day, After being attacked by the Western Qin cavalry, they completely collapsed.
The Western Qin cavalry immediately pursued and killed them, causing almost the entire Eastern Roman right army to be wiped out, with only a few hundred people escaping back to the central army.
Baldanis finally realized how powerful the Western Qin people's cavalry was.
It was probably even more powerful than the northern nomadic barbarians.
In less than four days, 15,000 of his men were eaten.
This forced him to order the left army to Moving closer to him, the center army and the left army are only ten miles apart.
As long as any army is attacked by the enemy, the other army can immediately get the news and provide timely reinforcements.
After hearing the scout's report, Zhao Ziliang said to the generals: "Oh, in that case, order the left and right armies to move closer to the central army, ten miles apart.
In view of the insufficient number of cavalry in the central army, two thousand people from each of the left and right armies will be transferred to supplement the central army. , ordered the whole army to break camp after dinner and advance towards the Eastern Roman army, and the scouts should report the distance between our army and the Eastern Roman army at any time."
"Follow the decree" It was already a bit cold in the Asia Minor Peninsula in late autumn, and the gusts of wind were like knives across the face.
Many soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty who were marching in a hurry couldn't help but shiver.
Riding on horseback, Zhao Ziliang saw through the moonlight the undulating mountains in the distance, but the surrounding area was flat.
He immediately rode his horse to the side and shouted to the guards behind him: "Torch, map."
Several soldiers lit torches to illuminate the surroundings.
A soldier opened the lid of a cylinder and took out a roll of maps.
Zhao Ziliang squatted on the ground, spread out the map and asked, "Where is this place?"
Wan Qingming said: "This should be ten miles northeast of Akyaze and forty miles away from Sakarya City."
Zhao Ziliang quickly found the location of the town of Akyaze and the city of Sakarya, then determined the location of his own army, and asked: "Where are Baldanis and his army now?"
Scout Captain Duan Wei said: "According to the latest news detected by the spies, Baldanese's army arrived at Sapanca at dark.
The scouts sent news every half an hour.
After they camped in Sapanca, Never moved again” Zhao Ziliang believed in his own ability to detect the sentry, and this kind of intelligence could not be wrong.
He immediately ordered: "Send the order, the whole army will stop advancing and camp on the spot.
Only tents will be set up for the night.
More sentinel scouts will be sent to detect the surrounding movements, and all orders will be sent."
Order the soldiers to keep their weapons, armor, and saddles on their horses to the scout battalion.

From now on, whenever enemy soldiers are found probing for sentries, they will be killed.
Enemy probing sentries are not allowed to come within thirty miles of our army, and everything is blocked. information" "Yes, Your Majesty" No one has ever paid more attention to military intelligence collection than Zhao Ziliang.
Accurate intelligence collection and blocking enemy intelligence can increase one's own chances of winning by at least 10%.
The very beginning of the battle between the two armies is an intelligence war, which is divided into strategic intelligence war. and tactical intelligence warfare, and now with the Eastern Roman Army’s detection sentry The battle between the two sides is one of the tactical intelligence battles.
Killing the enemy's sentinel will not let the other side learn any news about one's own side, and let the enemy generals be blind.
This will make the enemy afraid to act rashly and become anxious, so that they lose Correct judgment, or even making the wrong decision, is of course not the key to all tactical situations.
The collection of intelligence is accurate and timely, which is mainly limited by communication conditions and detection capabilities.
In ancient wars, most tactical intelligence collection was mainly done by commanders based on some relevant information collected by spies.
After comprehensive summarization, make inferences to judge the enemy general’s tactical intentions.
Therefore, in order to conceal their tactical intentions, commanders on both sides often release some false news or mixed news to confuse the other party's judgment.
This is a common thing.
Of course, this is one of the essences of Eastern military thought and an ancient tradition.
They don't even have a military book on Western military thought.
The tents were quickly set up on the spot.
The soldiers crowded into a tent and wrapped themselves in thick blankets to keep each other warm.
After eating, they fell asleep.
The war horses were tied outside to eat weeds.
A large number of detective sentries were sent to Check around for the situation.
In the camp, Zhao Ziliang sat on a small horse and looked at the map.
The army was currently located just a few miles out of a narrow mountain pass.
Further ahead, there was a large plain area.
According to the information detected by the scouts, The Eastern Roman Army is currently camping in the small town of Sapanca.
There is a river named Sakarya River more than ten miles east of the small town of Sapanca.
Because it flows through the city of Sakarya, it is called the Sakarya River.
Zhao Ziliang’s idea was to prevent the Eastern Roman general Bardanis from collecting any news east of the Sakarya River.
He could not collect any information in one night.
It is normal to see the enemy's situation.
After all, the temperature at night is already very low, and it is impossible for the scouts to collect intelligence all day long.
In the morning, Baldanis walked out of the room and asked: "Come, do you have any information about the enemy?"
A general walked over quickly and saluted: "General, it has been very cold at night these days, and the news is often not delivered in time.
I think it may take another two or three hours for the news about the enemy to be delivered.
I I believe the enemy should be similar."
Baldanis thought for a moment, nodded and ordered: "The enemy was in Dizje yesterday.
We must rush to the small town of Akyaze as soon as possible to occupy the favorable terrain in order to fight well.
Send my order and the whole army will set off immediately. , crossed the Sakarya River as quickly as possible and headed towards the town of Akyaze.”
"Yes, General":
