Xiang Yu looked down the mountain with his binoculars.
In the distance, the lights in the Frankish military camp had mostly gone out.
There was no fog tonight.
He could see everything clearly down the mountain.
“General,” Long Qie said, looking into the distance through his binoculars, “I have a feeling that the Franks have mobilized their entire army.”
Xiang Yu nodded: "I also think they mobilized their entire army. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people."
"When I arrived, my lord told me that the Embroidered Uniform Guard had already discovered that the Franks had mobilized 550,000 troops."
The two men watched the procession moving in the distance.
Seeing the length of the army's march, they estimated that there were fewer than 10,000 soldiers remaining in the Frankish camp.
Moreover, these people were mostly horse breeders and cooks.
All the other soldiers were mobilized.
"General, should we attack them?" Long Qie put down his binoculars, his heart pounding with anxiety.
Seeing Long Qie rubbing his hands, he said, "It's like dogs fighting, there's no need for us to get involved. Let them fight it out."
"So we're not going to make a move?" Long Qie dared not even consider it.
"Have you forgotten how our lord used Dali, Western Xia, and Tibet to deal with the Kushan Empire?"
Long Qi shook his head.
Of course he can't forget it.
Jiang Tian used the three kingdoms of Western Xia, Dali, and Tibet to deal with the millions of troops of the Kushan Kingdom.
As a result, the military strength of the four countries was basically exhausted.
In this battle, Jiang Tian dealt with the Kushan Kingdom with almost no effort.
Not only that, but in the past two days they have also instigated the three countries of Dali to attack Kushan.
"500,000 versus 1,500,000."
“I estimate that they will fight a closely contested battle,” Long Qie said.
"It's unlikely to be a close contest. After all, Li Yuanba's telegram to the lord already stated that he had blown up all the Ottoman Empire's top generals."
"The Sman Empire was leaderless."
“These men are no match for the Franks.”
"Alright, let's go back and rest. At their marching speed, they won't reach the enemy camp until at least tomorrow morning," Xiang Yu said as he walked towards the tent.
Long Qi continued watching through the binoculars.
...
Inside the tent.
Maria saw Xiang Yu walk in and quickly went forward to greet him.
"General, you must be freezing! It's bitterly cold outside."
"fine."
"Would the general like to drink wine or some hot tea?"
"I'm not drinking anything. All I want to do right now is sleep. I reckon there's going to be a tough battle in the next day or two."
Upon hearing Xiang Yu's words, Maria's heart leaped into her throat once again.
"What are you worried about? I'm a lucky person."
Looking across the entire world, no one but my lord can defeat me.
Outside the tent, the wind howled.
Inside the tent, it was warm and cozy, like springtime.
"General, why don't you go to sleep now and conserve your energy?"
Xiang Yu nodded.
But as soon as he sat down on the edge of the bed, he stood up again.
He kept the Frankish invasion of the Ottoman Empire on his mind.
This guy paced back and forth inside the tent.
"General, you should go out and take a look."
Xiang Yu nodded, walked to the tent entrance, and then retreated.
"What's so interesting? The two armies are right there. I estimate that they won't make contact until at least tomorrow morning. In the meantime, I'll just sleep peacefully."
After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he walked back with a smile.
...
Bonaparte led an army of 500,000.
The 500,000-strong army marched in a mighty procession toward the Ottoman Empire's camp.
"Send out scout cavalry..." Bonaparte roared, "I need to know the movements of the Ottoman army at all times."
“General, we have already sent 12 scouts to the Ottoman Empire’s camps.” Harvey looked smug, having long forgotten the pain he was in.
"General, I estimate that the first scout team will be back soon."
Before Harvey could finish speaking, a dozen scouts came galloping from a distance.
They galloped straight up to Bonaparte.
"Is there any movement from the Ottoman Empire?"
Have they already sensed something?
The dozen or so scouts all shook their heads.
"General, rest assured, it is the dead of night, and the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire are already fast asleep."
"They were completely unaware of our arrival."
"This time, I'm afraid even their God can't save them."
Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this: "Men, hurry up! The sooner we get there, the sooner we can rest."
"Let's gain half an hour of rest before launching another attack."
Bonaparte had already discovered during his advance reconnaissance that the Ottoman army camp was extremely large.
This military camp stretches for hundreds of miles.
Although one-third of the military camp was burned, it was still a very large camp.
Bonaparte did not intend to annihilate them this time, nor did they have such a large appetite.
This time, their main goal was to inflict serious damage on them, causing them to flee north.
Then, on the south bank of the Volga River, try to wipe out this force.
The Frankish troops quickened their pace.
Especially the cavalry.
They braved the cold wind all the way.
Bonaparte sat astride his warhorse, looking into the distance through his binoculars.
After a four-hour journey, the infantry could now see the enemy's camp.
