As mentioned above, South Persia fell for the plan of "borrowing a knife to kill people" on Li Lu's side, and Rustam put the town of the Great Wall of the Great Wall of Amr.
Karaniga sent to see the god of darkness, which was undoubtedly the self-destruction of the Great Wall, and Massoud, who was in dire need of blood, learned that he immediately raised an army to attack southern Persia entrenched in Egypt.
The death of Caranigar caused the officers of the South Persian army to drift away from Germany and their combat effectiveness plummeted, so when Massoud led his army, they surrendered in large numbers, and only met real resistance during the siege of Alexandria.It turned out that Rustam also found supporters, and he persuaded Constans II to send troops to help him hold Alexandria at the cost of ceding Cyrenaica, which Massoud did not expect, but what he did not expect was that even if the British in the east were earthquakes at home, they were not idle.Under the order of Li Lu, Su Lie, one of the three marshals of the British army, led 50,000 army and marines, under the cover of the First Fleet and the Third Fleet, from the military ports of Bahar and Goju in East Persia."
Kahran, this is the Red Sea?
Where is this sea red??
”Standing on top of Class A, Su Lie looked at the nearby sea, there was no difference, he turned his head and asked the navigator named Karan.Karan is a Bedouin born on the shore of the Red Sea, he went to Broken Leaf because of business, and later converted to the Prairie Road, he took the initiative to ask Ying, to lead the way for his favorite king, "Dashuai, the reason why the Red Sea is called the Red Sea is not because the sea water is red, but because there is often wind from the desert on the surface of the Red Sea, sending a stream of hot air and reddish-yellow dust and mist, making the sky darker, and the sea is dark red, so it is called the Red Sea....."
Just when Su Lie wanted to express some opinions, the naval commander Zhou Yulin came to Su Lie, "Su Shuai, my subordinates have received reliable information that Massoud has led troops to surround Alexandria.But they are not defenseless against us, he has stationed an army in Said, obviously to guard against us......"
Su Lie thought for a while, and then said to Zhou Yulin, "Said?
Let's go, go and look at the map......"
Su Lie and Zhou Yulin came to the war room on the ship, and as soon as they came in, they saw dozens of staff officers nervously carrying out map operations, Su Lie and Zhou Yulin came directly to the front of the big map, Zhou Yulin picked up the baton, pointed at Said, and said, "Su Shuai, look, this is Said."
As long as we take Said, and then dredge the ancient canal connecting the Red Sea and the Nile Woman, the small boats in our fleet can send your army directly to Alexandria......"
"The big ships can't pass??
”Su Lie suddenly asked, he was a field marshal and didn't know about naval warfare and sea ships, so he asked Zhou Yulin."
According to the information provided by Jinyiwei, the water level of this canal connecting the Red Sea and the Nile River is too shallow, and most of our warships are large ships with large tonnage and deep draft, and they cannot pass......
However, the width of this ancient canal is enough, there are more than ten zhang ......"
Zhou Yulin said with a smile, "When Xu Chao's Third Fleet comes up, there are many small boats suitable for landing on his side, so that he can cover your ......"
The ancient canal Zhou Yulin said was conceived in the Egyptian era, built in Darius, and flourished in the Ptolemaic Canal of Ptolemy II, this canal is now silted up and cannot be navigated, but as long as the dredging is successful, then the British army can enter the Nile River from the Red Sea along this canal, and reach the Mediterranean, At the same time, the naval guns were effective in supporting the army, because most of the cities in Egypt were built on the banks of the Nile.Su Lie immediately summoned a meeting of the generals to study how to take Said, and after a heated discussion, they decided to let the Persians guarding Said enjoy the baptism of a rain of bullets.Although Su Lie is the main general, but he likes to take the lead and command from the front, after arriving in Said, Su Lie was surprised to find that the Persians guarding in Saide were hiding outside the range of the ship's guns, "It seems that Massoud has suffered the losses of our artillery repeatedly, and he has gained experience.......
Su Lie put down the binoculars, and then said to the generals around him with a smile."
Marshal, it's okay in this way, if there is artillery, the Persian cavalry will not dare to move, just so we can land....."
Yao Juntao, who had already become the commander of the 1st Marine Division, finished speaking with a smile, and suddenly gave a military salute to Su Lie, "Marshal, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the 1st Marine Division, I ask you for your life, please hand over the most dangerous landing task to our 1st Marine Division......"
After listening to Yao Juntao's words, the British officers present couldn't help but complain, this Yao Juntao is too shameless, what is the most dangerous landing mission?
Is it good that the Persians are far away from the landing field?
But no one can deny that Yao Juntao is pretending to be good, and they also hurriedly followed the noise, wanting to grab the honor of the first ship.Su Lie smiled slightly, looked at the subordinates who were scrambling to grab the task, and secretly thought that the military heart was available, so he said, "You don't have to earn, just act according to the original plan, this commander has only one request, that is, you must be careful, do not take the enemy lightly to advance......."
The landing of the British army was stable, although the Persian guards guarding in Said had sent cavalry to try to harass, but under the blow of the naval guns, the Persians fled in embarrassment, and they watched the landing of more than 10,000 British troops succeed, When the British army under the command of the former enemy commander Yao Juntao, completed the assembly and advanced the attack, the Persian defender could no longer bear it, he personally led people to attack, but the strength of the British army was definitely not in vain, the first battle, the Persians were easily defeated, lost thousands of men and horses, and he fled back to the city of Said in embarrassment.Immediately, the main forces of the British army came one after another, and only dense sails were seen on the water, and the warships were one after another, which was magnificent and magnificent.The follow-up troops also landed one after another to participate in the battle, and joined forces with the British troops who had already landed, and marched towards the Persian capital.Not far from the city, Su Lie, who was personally in command, was suddenly intercepted by the Persian army.In order to succeed in this sneak attack, Persia sent almost all the troops, but Su Lie fought in the south and in the north, and the enemy was like a god, and the army was tightly organized and invulnerable.Although the Persian army relied on its familiarity with the terrain to launch a sneak attack, the overall combat capability and individual combat capability of the British army, which far exceeded the average level of the contemporaries, were not at all comparable to the Persians who were still in the era of cold weapons.The British army, under the command of Su Lie, set up heavy artillery and bombarded the city of Said.Seeing that they could no longer stop the British army, the Persian defenders were so frightened that they abandoned the city and fled, although the defenders fled, but the Persian soldiers did not escape, and they all became prisoners of the British army.These Persian captives were soon organized and put into the dredging of the Ptolemaic Canal, in order to re-dredge the canal, the British army not only drove a large number of prisoners of war to work day and night, but also the British ships kept to transport a large number of black slaves to the construction site, these black slaves, both captured by the British themselves, and bought from African chiefs and even the Axumes, no one knows how many prisoners of war and black slaves were killed in order to reopen the Ptolemaic Canal.While the British engineering troops drove the prisoners of war and black slaves to dredge the canal, the army led by Su Lie was not idle, and they began to attack and advance towards the Nile Delta region.After learning that the British had taken the city of Said and began to march towards the Nile, Massoud intensified his attack on Alexandria, and finally took Alexandria under his attack at any cost, and Rustam led Shapur III to evacuate Alexandria under the cover of the Eastern Roman Navy, and they would receive the blessing of Constans II.After taking Alexandria, Massoud immediately began to renovate the fortifications, integrate forces, and prepare for a decisive battle with the British army from the east, after careful consideration, Massoud decided to meet the main force of the British army in Laina, this Raina is very famous, because the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs, that is, the pyramids, are here, and Massoud wants to defeat those terrible oriental devils in front of the pharaohs.
