Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 3 Chapter 36: Management strategy

"Let Arslan restrain his people, and don't allow those Turks and Chincha people to do anything to harass civilians." Justinian said solemnly, even though it seemed that the residents of Mycenae were in front of the Byzantine army. The move to regain lost ground is very welcome, but Justinian understands that this may not be true. Historically, the Achaia state has existed until the end of the Byzantine Empire, indicating that it was not a castle in the air like the Latin Empire. The rulers of Achaia who combined Western European feudalism and Byzantine customary law were actually much better than the corrupt bureaucratic rule of the Angelus dynasty.

   Rather than regaining lost ground, cleaning up people’s hearts is the most important thing now. Justinian must order and prohibit the army from looting and harassing civilians.

"But the Turks are our ally, after all, if—" Leo beside him was embarrassed. Of course he knew Justinian’s intentions, but the key was to prevent a mercenary composed of nomads from looting and keeping them in military discipline. But it is very difficult. After a battle, it is difficult to make these fierce nations obedient without rewards. What's more, at this time, the existence of Zeodo Cephalon was not suitable for them to have any unpleasant experiences with the Turkic people.

   But Justinian still shook his head persistently and said, "You can tell him what you have said. If they have any dissatisfaction, you can find me."

   Seeing Justinian's remarks, Leo knew that it was hard to say anything, so he nodded and walked back.

   While in the military tent, Justinian was looking at the map in front of him with a slightly solemn expression. Despite the first victory, the situation is not so optimistic. In the entire southern Peloponnese, in addition to Mycenae, there are also major fortresses such as Mysohori, Kroni, Sparta, Karamai, etc. The army here also has thousands of people who want to quickly defeat them. They are no easy task. Justinian originally thought that the main force of the Latins had completely reached Corinth to prevent Epirus from going south, but he asked the local talents and learned that although most of the troops were called up, some of them remained stationed at the advice of the Marquis of William. . For example, in Tripolis, the largest city in Southern Peloponnese, there are 4,000 Latin soldiers, which is definitely not something that can be dealt with by his own forces now. For a while, Justinian was a bit grateful that he immediately decided to purge all the Latins in the city of Mycenae, and did not leak the news of the Byzantine army landing.

"It seems that things have not gone as smoothly as they thought, Lord Justinian." Neusky said lightly beside Justinian. He and Justinian knew that this victory was just trivial. , There is not much food in the city of Mycenae, and they will not be able to sustain it for long if this continues.

   "I know this, but the war itself is fast-changing. Wouldn't it be trivial if it goes so smoothly as expected?"

"This is natural, but the key lies in the response of the commander. Turning disadvantages into advantages and expanding the advantages is an excellent general. So what are you going to do next?" Nevsky looked at the investigation seriously. Stinney asked, his commanding method is still a little immature, but he believes Justinian has this ability to be unique.

Looking at the map in front of him, Justinian was silent for a moment and pointed to it and suddenly said: "To attack Karamai, this is our next target. According to the information provided by the locals, there is a hoarding granary there, although not many. Enough to solve the urgent need."

   Regarding Justinian's decision, Neusky was also slightly surprised. He didn't expect Justinian to put his goal here. Karamai’s defense force is the strongest among the fortresses. Although it is closest to them, there are almost 500 guards. It is almost impossible for such a garrison to huddle in the fortress in a short period of time, and in that case The effect of the raid is no longer there. Once the Latins react, wouldn’t it be dangerous? Justinian made such a combat plan that Neusky did not expect.

   "Are you sure?" the Varangian asked with a slight hesitation. He looked at the expression on Justinian's face and realized that it was not impulsive, but what exactly did Justinian have?

And Justinian's face also showed a firm look, without any hesitation, nodded and said: "Yes, I am sure. The value of capturing this place is higher than others, this is South Peloponnese. The key to the connection between the Saarland and the Tena Dragon’s Imperial Resistance Army, and I already have my plan.” The young man’s voice was very calm, but he still couldn’t hide his excitement, and looked at Justinian with confidence. Surprisingly, Nevsky did not object to anything.

  ……

   On the other side, the heavy regiment from Agrinion was stationed on the other side under the leadership of Zeodoro Cephalon. During the siege of Mycenae, he led his subordinates to join the battle.

   But he still didn't follow Justinian's wishes. This one-thousand-man team was stationed on the other side of the city. This man also asked his army to abide by military discipline and not allow any harassment of civilians.

However, after these two days, Zeodore Cephalon still doesn't like Justinian, but he has changed a lot about his abilities. He also learned that the army has run out of food~www.readwn.com~ and checked Steinney's move to block the news got his approval.

Back then, Moria experienced the saw-saw crossfire. The land has long been ravaged beyond recognition and is very withered. Although it has recovered some, the cultivated land is scarce here. The farmers are firmly controlled by the lord, trying to eat the local area, and wanting to rely on captivity is suicide. The idea that Justinian comforted people as soon as he entered the city was undoubtedly the most correct decision.

"It seems that this kid is not a vain name, he really has two sons, Mooswar." Looking at the man on the side, Zeodore Cephalon smiled, although he was sent by the Earl of Theodor in name. The chief, but in fact this animal trainer from Saracen is the real principal. Together, they monitored Justinian's every move, and were ready to seize power when Justinian was unable to support them to minimize losses.

   But Justinian’s ability was shown. From now on, it is still a victory in the first battle to regain Moria.

   But the expressionless Moswar responded plainly: "It's just the beginning. What will happen in the future is not a way, is it?"

"Indeed, Justinian sent an order not long ago to attack Karamai tomorrow." Zeodoro Cephalon nodded, and now he is just continuing to observe whether Justinian can be used by Theodor. It is still unknown, and what makes him more concerned now is the goal of the next attack. As far as he knows, there is the most closely guarded fortress in this area. If it were him, it would be a better choice to attack Mysokhori, Kroni and even the ancient city of Sparta.

Hearing what Zeodo Cephalon said, the Saracens who were originally indifferent also had a wave, but then he recovered calmly and said: "Interesting. Then cooperate with him first, anyway, even if the failure is not the responsibility of him. our."
