Chapter 188 Leading the troops to the expedition
The man who had never looked down on the royal family rarely surrendered to Alexei III. Of course, he knew in his heart that if it weren't for Yao Xueqi's status as an orthodox princess, if Yu Renliang was now Yao Xueqi's husband, he would never have followed any bullshit decisions from Alexei III.
All the military powers of the empire finally returned to the hands of the royal family. Of course, all of this military powers will eventually be handed over to Yao Xueqi. Alexei III officially appointed Yao Xueqi as the commander of the imperial team and Yu Renliang as the deputy commander. He asked Yao Xueqi to replace Alexei III as a princess to attack the enemy who came to invade. Everyone in the empire accepted such an appointment because everyone knew very well that although Yao Xueqi was the commander, in fact, her husband was the one who commanded the entire army. But it didn't matter, as long as there was royal blood, all this seemed legitimate.
1202, the fourth Eastern Expedition of the Crusaders had begun, but in fact, they were trying to conquer Jerusalem at the beginning, but later because of the control of Venetian merchants and Byzantine exiles, the hinting behind the crusades, the Marquis of Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Vabben, and the sacred Roman emperor Philip of Waben, that the war had turned into a pure plunder war for their respective interests. By 1203, under the command of the Marquis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memp
At this time, the army led by Princess Xueqi himself came, which undoubtedly greatly encouraged the soldiers of the empire. On the Galatian Tower in the Galatian Peninsula, Yao Xueqi was sitting in the position of the supreme commander. Of course, Yu Renliang was sitting there with her. The army had long agreed that Yu Renliang was the actual commander, and the abilities displayed by Yu Renliang along the way also convinced the soldiers.
During this trip, Lei Jite specially prepared several translators for Yao Xueqi and Yu Renliang. These translators passed the conversations and reports of the officers to the couple at any time.
An officer said: "The Venetian army has been siege on the front of the peninsula for half a month, and the Frank army is also constantly attacking from our flanks. At this moment, as long as one place is lost, the entire peninsula will definitely not be able to be saved."
Yu Renliang grabbed Yao Xueqi's hands that kept touching her constantly under the table. The princess has been wearing princess clothes since she came out of the battle because she doesn't like those armors. She was like traveling with Yu Renliang along the way. Of course, Yu Renliang pampered her, and he wouldn't let Yao Xueqi handle anything. So Yu Renliang never interfered with whatever she wanted. But at this time, after all, the officers below looked at him. Yu Renliang didn't want this princess to be too presumptuous. He pinched Yao Xueqi's little hand and said in a low voice: "Princess, you can't be quiet for a while. You know that you will be the queen in the future. Do you still have to flirt with your husband in front of many people in the palace in the future?"
Yao Xueqi chuckled: "If I really become the queen, by that time, even if I am in the palace with you, they will still dare to say a word of no word? Haha, who dares to say it, kill them all!"
Yu Renliang lamented, "A woman is really scary when she becomes a queen."
He pinched Yao Xueqi's hand and looked at the officers below to report, then said: "Now our troops are superior, and we are not afraid of the other party's siege, but we are on the defensive position after all. Moreover, the Galatian Peninsula's position against the empire is very critical, and once they are captured, it is likely that the reinforcements behind them will drive straight into Constantinople, so stalemate is not a solution. They need to be driven out as soon as possible."
Everyone said that we should not be stalemate for a long time, because once we neglect the other party to enter the fortress, it would be equivalent to exposing Constantinople to the opponent's direct attack. It is not a simple matter to drive the opponent away easily. The opponent is all elite troops, not to mention that the Crusaders have always fought bravely, and at the same time, they all have some special forces that the Byzantine soldiers cannot easily defeat the opponent.
Yu Renliang thought in his heart that the reason why he wanted Yao Xueqi to go on the battlefield in the name of the princess was naturally to allow Yao Xueqi to gain more reputation and to make more people believe that Yao Xueqi and Yu Renliang were sent by God to save the empire, so that he could also get more support from the royal family and nobles at the same time. Therefore, this battle not only requires victory, but also a great victory. If the time is delayed, even if the victory is finally won, it will not be very effective. He had already had a complete plan in his heart. Facing all the generals, he directed everyone and said: "This time the enemy besieged the Galatian Peninsula, and the main forces include Power.
The Nice team, the Frank mercenary, of course, the most important thing is the Crusader. So as long as we defeat the Crusader, the lack of other forces will affect the situation. Although the Crusader fights bravely and their various strengths are extraordinary, their weakness is also very obvious, that is, they are a centralized force, and the commander is the only key to gathering them. These people are in the end, serving the Holy See, and their commander is considered to be the Holy See sent by the Holy See. If the Holy See is an accident, they will naturally be in a panic immediately. At that time, our army will fight directly out with one go, and they will inevitably be defeated."
After Yu Renliang's words were translated, a general below immediately said: "Deputy Commander, do you mean the assassination of the Marquis of Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis Memphis himself has extraordinary abilities, let alone our people can't get close to the inside of the Crusaders at all."
Yu Renliang smiled and said, "That's because you don't have the right people to go."
"Hey, you're crazy. You want to go to the crusade alone!" Yao Xueqi immediately understood what Yu Renliang meant, and she hurriedly prepared to stop him.
Yu Renliang pinched Yao Xueqi's hand and said, "Listen to me. If you want to fight quickly, you must never delay time. Assassination of the Marquis of Memphira is the best way to solve the war. Xue Qi, for you, I am willing to take this risk."
"I don't want to be the queen. I just want you to be safe. Husband, promise me not to take risks, okay?" Yao Xueqi didn't care about everyone looking at her, and she had already made a coquettish attitude.
Fortunately, the voices of these words were very small and even the translator didn't hear them. Yu Renliang gently hugged Yao Xueqi in his arms, put them in her ear and said, "Don't worry, you should understand my abilities."
"No. If you want to go, I will accompany you." Yao Xueqi's attitude was very firm. "We have all said that in this place, if there is no other person, does another person have the meaning of living? If you want to take risks, we must be together, otherwise, you are not allowed to go alone."
Yao Xueqi now completely turned into her as she was so willful, but her willfulness at the moment was more of a witty and willfulness at this time, but her witty and willfulness revealed more of her wife's concern for her husband.
Yu Renliang touched Yao Xueqi's hair and thought to himself. Yes, now in this place, the most meaningful thing is only the two of them together. It is natural for Yao Xueqi to be reluctant to leave herself: "But it's really dangerous."
"Have you forgotten that I am a genius of light skills? Don't worry, now your spiritual energy has returned to my body, and no one can easily catch me here."
Yao Xueqi stared at Yu Renliang with big watery eyes, and she was begging Yu Renliang to agree to her proposal. Yu Renliang wanted to laugh because this stupid woman actually forgot that she was the head coach, and in fact she could make a decision.
"Okay!" Yu Renliang nodded: "But you must promise me that you can go with me. Once there is danger, you must withdraw first. You must believe in my strength and I can definitely escape by myself."
Yao Xueqi nodded well, and immediately sat there happily following Yu Renliang's arrangements after receiving the promise.
The soldiers below were all talking, and Yu Renliang stood up and said, "No need to discuss it. The princess and I have decided that the assassination of the Marquis of Memphira will be completed together with the princess. From now on, you will return to your respective stations and let all the soldiers stand by at any time to prepare to counterattack the enemy."
The soldiers below all strongly opposed it. They all thought it was inappropriate for the head coach and the deputy commander to perform the assassination at the same time. But at this time, Yao Xueqi's personality exploded. The princess was also the first commander here and directly slapped the table and said, "Shut up all. After all, listen to you or listen to me. Now I announce that my husband and I will assassinate the Marquis of Memphirat. You are all honestly preparing to counterattack. If anyone still has any doubts, drag it out and chop it first!"
Yu Renliang grinned and watched Yao Xueqi give orders there, and couldn't help but lose a thumbs up for her. This woman is indeed a queen-like appearance!
Yu Renliang and Yao Xueqi rested for a day, and then they quietly sneaked down from the Galatian Tower. Yao Xueqi's light skills were superb, and Yu Renliang was also free to go up and down after he recovered completely. The two men took advantage of the night to come out of the Galatian Tower and headed straight to the Crusader Camp.
In the waters of the Galatian Peninsula, the general command of the Crusaders was arranged on their main warships. These Crusaders were killed directly from the sea, and although most of the troops had been deployed on the peninsula, their command departments were still in the sea.
Yu Renliang and Yao Xueqi rowed a small boat and slowly approached the main warship. The soldiers of the main warship patrolled the sea from time to time, but their eyes were no longer as fast as Yao Xueqi's light skills. Yu Renliang asked Yao Xueqi to fly directly to the side of the ship first, and he also rowed and climbed onto the ship quickly. As for the small boat, it had already stopped in the sea and let it float slowly. (To be continued...)
