Chapter 381: War in North Africa


Because Justinian II was murdered, Li Lu canceled his alliance with the Eastern Rome, in other words, he had already regarded the Eastern Roman Empire as his own meal, just at this time, Su Qingjie's revised North African battle plan came to him, Li Lu reviewed it, and found that it was not bad, so Li Lu got it to the Joint Staff Conference for review, so what Xiao Su didn't expect was that this new plan was approved by Li Lu and the General Staff, Then the second generation of the British Empire set out from Egypt with 7,000 British troops, 500 missionaries and a group of meritorious children who wanted to make meritorious achievements, and began to attack North Africa.The governor of the Eastern Romans in North Africa was Tiberius, although this monarch had a certain military talent, but there was still a lot of gap between him and Su Qingjie's undergraduate students who graduated from the British Military Academy, so when Su Qingjie blatantly attacked Cyrenaica, Tiberius was surprised, "What Englishman called?"

Aren't they allies of our empire?

”The governor of North Africa looked at his men in astonishment."

Your Excellency the Governor, because His Majesty Justinian is dead, and Broken Leaves believe that Tibionus is a usurper of the throne, and you also know that the eldest princess of our empire, Irina, is the Emperor's favorite concubine......," said his subordinate Papansons, "She is a member of the Heraclius family, how could she not avenge her nephew?"

And His Majesty the Emperor has been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time, right?

”"Hey..... if it weren't for Justinian's bastard being too bastard, why wouldn't he be like this?"

Tiberius sighed, then continued, "Cyrenaica can't help but save .....

Papan, I give you the city of Carthage, can you hold it?"

”"Your Excellency, if you can keep it, you must keep it...... and if you can't stand it," said Papan."

Okay, I'll hand over Carthage to you, you have to take care of the way back for us......"

After Tiberius finished speaking, he appointed Papansons as the commander of the Carthaginian city defense, and then led the army from Carthage to relieve the siege, but the result was the siege of Su Qingjie's plan to help, and the two sides fought a big battle, and the Eastern Romans suffered heavy losses.When Tiberius retreated to Carthage with the remnants of the defeated army, he was surprised to find that the city of Carthage had changed its flag, and it turned out that Papansons, who had been advocating resistance, turned out to be a very buried British spy, and he escorted Tiberius away, in order to fully control the city of Carthage, so that he could let his people enter the city as masters.Tiberius was taken to his lair, and he refused to surrender to the British, and finally the Roman governor turned around and went to the Berbolians, and Su Qingjie, after learning of Tiberius's whereabouts, decisively attacked the Berbolians.The Berbols, who lived in the area, were just as belligerent and irritable as the British, and with the help of the Eastern Romans (the Eastern Roman Empire was facing aggressive expansion by the British, and even Roman governors like Tiberius had fled to the Berbols), they put up fierce resistance on the mountainous terrain.But the British army, relying on advanced weapons and organization, still succeeded step by step.The British achieved not only a military victory in North Africa, clearing the Eastern Romans of their power in North Africa, but also a religious victory.Su Qingjie sent a lot of Taoist missionaries to the Bobol people, they held swords and guns in one hand, and the Tao Te Ching in the other, originally many people in the Bobol people believed in the Daomen, with the victory of the British army, the Daomen achieved an overwhelming victory here, and the coastal areas of North Africa completely and finally belonged to the British Empire.As British rule in North Africa became more secure, Su Qingjie turned its strategic attention to Spain, across the Strait of Gibraltar.In the 5th century, the Vandals of North Africa crossed the Strait of Gibraltar north to the Iberian Peninsula and called it "Vandalusia", meaning "the region of the Vandals", and then the Visigoths also entered the Iberian Peninsula and established the Visigothic Kingdom."

Vandalusia" changed to Andalusia in the English language, also known as Andalusia.Visigothic rule did not have the same widespread social impact as the bureaucracy established by Western Rome before it; They prefer to maintain a loose and moderate barbarian rule – indifferent to the domestic situation and economic development, and only for personal gain.The most important influence of the Visigoths was the decline of the Spanish cities, as most of them moved to the countryside, and although the Spanish countryside enjoyed a certain degree of prosperity compared to the famine Frankish Kingdom and the Germanic countryside at this time, the Visigoths' contribution to the public welfare, social stability, and infrastructure of their people and country was still insignificant, which led to their downfall, and when the English arrived across the Channel, they were no longer able to gain the loyalty of their subjects.There was a Berbol named Ziad who had taken refuge in Taoism, and because of his outstanding talent, he was appointed as an adjutant and vanguard by the British Governor of North Africa, Su Qingjie, to cross the sea to attack the Visigoths.After making contact with Broken Leaves, Su Qingjie decided to take advantage of the Visigothic civil strife and send Ziad to cross the Strait of Gibraltar with about 7,000 British and Berbolian soldiers.Immediately after landing in Gibraltar, Ziad learned that Xiang Yu had burned all the ships to fight to the death, and he addressed his soldiers: "I am hereby at the forefront of this glorious battle, and I, Ziyad, your commander, I will inspire you to make this war glorious, and put myself at the forefront of this glorious battle."

When the two armies come face to face, you will see me, and you must not doubt that.If the Supreme Dao Venerable is willing, find Roderick, the tyrant of the Visigothic people, challenge him, and fight him.If I die after this war, I will at least be satisfied that I can deliver you, and you will find that the army is full of experienced heroes.You can confidently give them tasks and they will be able to complete them.But should I fall before I see Roderick?

Burn your passions!

Attack and conquer the country and end Roderick's life.Once he dies, his soldiers will no longer be against you. ”In fact, just as Ziad said, the British army and the Visigothic army fought a decisive battle in Guadaret, and the Visigothic army, which did not have the support of the people, although superior in numbers, was extremely backward in weaponry and organizational system.The beaten Visigothic army collapsed, King Roderick drowned in the retreat, the Visigothic kingdom had no successor, and the British Empire took advantage of the chaos within the Visigoths to expand its control.Soon the British had completely occupied southern Spain, and they took advantage of the victory, and Ziad and his superior, Su Qingjie, fought together, and after receiving reinforcements, led a mixed army of LinkedIn and Berbolians to sweep across the Iberian Peninsula and together wiped out most of the Visigoths.Most of the land of Iberia has fallen into the hands of the British Empire, and the remnants of the Visigoths retreated into the northern mountains of Spain, and can only use the terrain advantage to resist the tide of British attacks, but helplessly, the strength of the two sides is too different, and the British army has transferred a mountain force from North Africa that has received professional anti-guerrilla warfare, so the Visigoths resistance was ruthlessly killed.The British did not stop conquering, they crossed the Pyrenees and began to attack the shattered Frankish kingdom.
