Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 390 Qianqi attacks the Vatican and takes back the artifact
If this matter reaches the Western Expeditionary Army, it will probably take more than a month. During this period, I have to quickly get some things on hand to deal with.

"Bamxin! Come in, I have a special task for you." Zhang Yong opened the tent curtain and said.

After hearing Zhang Yong's call, Bamxin immediately entered the tent and knelt in front of Zhang Yong.

"Master! Do you have any orders?"

"I need you to do something. How many assassins can you mobilize now?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Master! We have a total of more than 170 people here this time. There are more than 80 people performing tasks in the German region. There are still about 100 people who can wait for your orders anytime and anywhere." Bamusin said.

"Very good! I will prepare a warship for you. You can go to the port in Austria immediately, then take the warship of the Eastern Roman Empire to the Papal State in Italy, and then bring my things back." Zhang Yong said. .

Originally, my plan was to march straight in after defeating the Holy Roman Empire, directly lead the army to besiege the Papal State, and then get my things back, but it may be too late in time. In more than a month at most, the envoy from Mongolia should will reach the front line.

At that time, the Mongolian army will be defeated at most. The allied forces of the Holy Roman Empire and Western Europe would not even occupy these areas, and their own troops could not even go to the Papal States.

"Master! There are also a large number of Templar Knights and Church Knights in the Papal States. The city of Rome is also quite strong.
If we just take a battleship, we can't conquer there at all, and if the artifact is there, it will be closely protected by the Pope. It seems that we have no chance. "Bamsin said.

To be honest, if they were asked to carry out an assassination mission to kill the Pope, he would be confident of completing it, but if it was to retrieve the artifact, it would be a bit difficult.

If they take the water route, they will travel very fast, but correspondingly, they will not be able to bring many people with them.

The fleet of the Eastern Roman Empire will not provide much help. They can only send out a few ships at most. People like them cannot get close to the city of Rome at all, let alone enter the city to find artifacts.

"I'm not asking you to attack the city and take away the artifact, but I'm asking you to sneak in secretly with people, and you can just turn it into an ordinary caravan." Zhang Yong said.

"This is even more difficult. Master, a small part of the assassin army under your command are orphans from Persia, and some are orphans recruited locally in Guanzhong. It is not easy for these people to travel in Christian areas.

If we pretend to be a caravan, we must at least have the corresponding goods, and it will take time to sneak into the Pope's palace to investigate and find the exact location of the artifact. Once there is an error in any part of it, everything will be lost. "Bamui said.

"You mean, even if you arrive in Rome by boat, you won't be able to get the artifact back for me?" Zhang Yong frowned and asked. (The Vatican at this time was still very large, but it was already surrounded by the city of Rome.)
Damn, I was too naive. If I sent a group of assassins there, I might not be able to steal anything.

What to do about this? Should I just give up my driving recorder and electric prod? It doesn’t matter if you have an electric prod, but you can’t throw away the driving recorder!
The only thing I have that can play videos is a projector, which is a driving recorder with a smartphone removed from the car, and a car screen. The car screen can't be reached very far. The only thing that can be portable is the driving recorder.

After this thing is fully charged, the standby time is even longer than that of a smartphone, and it is more durable than a smartphone.

"Master! If you want to take your artifact back, we may be able to implement another plan." Bamxin rolled his eyes and said.

"Tell me! Is there any way you can get my artifact back?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Master, I will take the people by boat and go to Rome according to the original plan.

Then he pretended to be an ordinary businessman and lurked in the city secretly.

Then you send an elite cavalry unit over, and we will cooperate inside and outside to quickly capture the city of Rome. "Bamsin said.

As long as you can control the city of Rome, can you still worry about not finding two artifacts?
Now in the entire city of Rome, the defenders have basically left, and only the Vatican has some troops.

It is not difficult to capture this city.

"If you send out cavalry, you need to go through the entire German region and the Italian Peninsula. If you send out a large-scale cavalry unit, it will totally outweigh the gains." Zhang Yong shook his head and said.

Moreover, the place where he is now is more than 600 kilometers away from the city of Rome. If the cavalry, even the Mongolian cavalry advances at full speed, it will take at least eight days to arrive.

The marching speed of the Mongolian army can reach a terrifying seventy or eighty kilometers per day, and can even reach an astonishing one hundred kilometers per day in the case of rapid marching.

But that was facing a familiar land. If it was a completely unfamiliar land, the marching speed would not increase much.

If you take the water route, you can indeed save a lot of time and distance, but the Mongolian army cannot take the water route. If the horses get on the boat, they will get seasick. They may be ticketed directly when they get to the shore. And how many people can one boat transport?
It is estimated that dozens of warships will be needed to transport thousands of Mongolian soldiers. It is quite astonishing for warships of this size to appear on the sea in groups. The enemy is not blind.

"My master, have you forgotten? During this period of time, you asked us to monitor Duke Kalman.

Several of his Holy Roman Empire envoys have been followed several times by us.

We have figured out a fast marching route, which is an extremely safe marching route. During this time, we have been exploring this road.

We can completely use this route to send a group of Mongolian soldiers and successfully bypass it. Go to the rear of the Holy Roman Empire, and then attack the city of Rome with lightning speed. "Bamsin smiled and said.

"You mean to take this messenger's passage, what if you encounter the Holy Roman Emperor's messenger along the way?" Zhang Yong said.

“Don’t worry, the envoy of the Holy Roman Emperor took this road from the German region, which is only two or three days away, and the second half of the journey.

There won't be any people from the Holy Roman Empire. If there are, just let the Mongolian army kill them all along the way. "Bamsin said.

With the marching speed of the Mongolian army, they could quickly bypass this dangerous area. By the time the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire knew about it, it was already too late.

"Are you sure? How many people do you need to capture the city of Rome?" Zhang Yong touched his chin and asked.

“My master, you need to send at least three Mongolian thousand-man troops, and three thousand men can conquer that city.

We will help from the inside and find ways to open the gate. As long as the city gate is opened and three thousand Mongolian troops enter the city, then the city will be ours. "Bamsin said.

"Okay! You leave the three assassins as guides, and immediately go to the general of the Eastern Roman Empire and ask him to arrange one or two warships, dressed as merchant ships, and then you set off immediately.

I will arrange for three Mongolian families to lead their troops to Rome. "After Zhang Yong thought for a moment, he vaguely had a leader candidate in mind.

Bamxin nodded, bowed to Zhang Yong, stood up and left his tent.

After Bamsin left, Zhang Yong immediately came to Guyu's tent and pulled Guyu up who was sleeping with a certain Queen of Jerusalem in his arms.

"Brother Zhang, it's so late, what do you want from me?" Guyu casually put on a piece of armor and came outside the tent, yawned, looked at Zhang Yong and asked.

I just finished cleaning up the Queen of Jerusalem. Please, I am very tired now and just want to sleep.

"I have a huge achievement for you. I wonder if you want to take it." Zhang Yong said. ? ? ? ?
"Brother Zhang, are you still thinking of me? Can you tell me what kind of unparalleled achievement you have given me?" Guiyou immediately became energetic when he heard that there was an achievement that could be taken, but it was still an unparalleled achievement.

"I plan to give you an army of 3,000 people. You will only carry half a month's worth of dry food. You will set off overnight tomorrow night and go directly to the city of Rome to surprise the Vatican City and seize the enemy's capital." Zhang Yong said.

In fact, the Mongolian army is very good at long-distance raids. At that time, Jebie and Subotai led 20,000 people to directly kill all the countries in Eastern Europe.

During the fierce battle with the Southern Song Dynasty in the original history, Tuo Lei took advantage of the Song Dynasty and led tens of thousands of Mongolian troops to break out of Dashan Pass and enter the land of Sichuan and Shu. They crossed several mountains and rivers and attacked more than a thousand people. kilometers and attacked the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom.

The mission Guiyu is currently performing is much easier than the tow mine in history, but the result will be very good, because you are attacking a capital city of the opponent, a holy place in the entire West, and the residence of the Pope. Once the capital of the Roman Empire.

If the Vatican is captured by the Mongolian army, the effect will be earthquake-level. At that time, regardless of whether they defeat the coalition forces of the Holy Roman Empire, it will cause a huge blow to their morale.

"Brother Zhang, are you kidding me? Give me three thousand people to go behind the enemy and attack the Vatican City in Rome!" Guyu asked with a look of disbelief.

"Don't worry, I have figured out a safe path. This path was taken by the envoys of the Holy Roman Emperor before, and it is the path that I arranged for countermeasures.

Your march will be very fast. If you are lucky, you can reach the Vatican in eight days. I will send another navy and army to enter the city of Rome dressed as merchants.

They will open the city gate secretly and put you into the city. At that time, your three thousand cavalry will be able to completely capture the city. "Zhang Yong told Guiyou in detail about his battle plan.

This is a huge achievement. Leading three thousand people to surprise the enemy's capital will bring Guyu great fame and establish absolute prestige in the Mongolian army.

What the Mongols admire the most is this kind of hero who can lead the army to attack long distances. If this strategy succeeds, he will indeed gain a lot. Fighting an encirclement and annihilation battle next to Brother Zhang, the credit cannot go to one person. It will be spread equally among all the princes, everyone together.

But if you can attack thousands of miles and capture the enemy's capital, then this great achievement belongs to you alone.

"Okay! Brother Zhang, I agree with your battle plan, but I need to bring some more people.

I went over with five thousand cavalry, and each knight carried a spare horse and twenty days' rations. "After Guyou thought for a moment, he agreed to Zhang Yong's conditions.

Three thousand men would be a bit tight, but five thousand men would be just right. If that didn't work, Guyou would directly massacre the city in Rome. Anyway, the Mongols would not occupy this city.

"I will tell Batu and Subotai about this after you set off, lest they insert people into your team and seize your credit." Zhang Yong said.

"Brother Zhang, you are thoughtful, just do this to me. I will go back to sleep first, and I will start preparing the troops tomorrow." Guyu said.

"Well! Just draw two thousand men and horses from your family, and I will prepare three thousand men and horses for you." Zhang Yong said.

After the two discussed it, Zhang Yong left Guyu's camp. Zhang Yong did not intend to tell anyone about Wokuotai's stroke. He had secretly obtained the news from Fatima and revealed it to others. He had no way to disclose it to others. Explain the origin of the message.

After all, it is unjustifiable to place a high-level spy in Mongolia itself.

The next day, Zhang Yong received news from the front line that 5,000 Mongolian cavalry fled back in embarrassment with more than 10,000 servant country troops.

Originally supporting the army of Bohemia. Half of the slave country's army and many Mongolian soldiers died there.

As the commander-in-chief, Batu, Subotai Zhang Yong and others also cooperated very cooperatively and lost their temper in front of the entire army, confirming the news that the Mongolian army had suffered heavy losses.

Not surprisingly, this news reached the ears of the Holy Roman Emperor, making him even more convinced that Kalman had provided him with real and effective information.

That night, Guyot led a cavalry force of about 5,000 people. Taking advantage of the darkness, he secretly left the Mongolian camp. Under the leadership of several guides, he bypassed the assistants of the Holy Roman Empire army and headed towards Rome in the rear. Kill the city.

"Master Military Advisor, you should at least discuss this long-distance attack with us." Batu frowned and said.

Guyu and his men have just set off. What do you mean by coming here to inform us?
"Yes! But this strategy is indeed very good, but I'm worried that this guy Takayu won't be able to handle it. In fact, I should follow him." Subotai said from the side.

There is a suitable road and I can lead the Mongolian cavalry to conduct a surprise attack and attack the opponent's capital. This is indeed a method of warfare commonly used by the Mongols.

The older generation of Mongolian generals have more or less performed such tasks, but among the younger generation.

Not many people have carried out such a mission to attack behind enemy lines. If Zhang Yong had proposed this strategy earlier, then it would be safest for him, a veteran general, to lead the troops there.

"I'm sorry, you two, but soldiers are very quick. I came up with this plan this morning.
If we delay a little longer, the envoys of the Holy Roman Empire might collide with this team.
At that time, the gains outweigh the losses, so I asked Guiyu to lead the team and set off in advance, while I came over to inform you of this matter. "Zhang Yong said.

"Forget it! Since you have made the decision, military advisor, and the number of people is not large, I can't say anything. I hope Guyu can really succeed in capturing the enemy's capital. If they can really capture the enemy's capital, then their military morale will definitely be in chaos. Batu said.

It is obviously inappropriate to blame Zhang Yong at this time. So in that case, just be a favor! There is no need to use one's own army anyway.

"Thank you, Coach Batu, and General Subotai for your understanding. Don't worry, I have arranged for a group of people to pretend to be businessmen and secretly sneak into the opponent's city. When the time comes, they will cooperate with Guyuk to open the city gate directly." Zhang Yong. He spoke.

This time, Zhang Yong was very confident in his plan. The army on their side could definitely attract the attention of all the main forces of the Holy Roman Empire.

Zhang Yong had already given orders to the team led by Guyou. On the way forward, no one should be left alive and everyone would be killed on sight.

The Mongolian headquarters was still executing Zhang Yong's plan to lure the enemy. Five days after Guyuk's army set off, Kalman once again sent a messenger to the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

This envoy will bring important information. The Mongolian army also plans to fight a protracted war with the Holy Roman Empire, and has built a fortress on the border of Austria and Germany, where it has stored a large amount of food and supplies.

If we can capture this place in one fell swoop and destroy all the supplies here, then the food and grass supplies in the Mongolian army camp will not last long.

Three days later, the envoy arrived at the military camp of the Holy Roman Empire. After receiving the news, Frederick II became excited.

"Hahaha! Look at this cheap son of mine. He has sent me another important piece of information. The Mongols also plan to fight a protracted war with us, and have stored all their supplies in Austria and on the German border. In a fortress," Frederick II said.

"Emperor, Your Majesty, do you mean to lead an elite cavalry to attack here?" the messenger asked.

"Yeah! This is my plan. I will leave ten thousand cavalry, and the remaining cavalry will set off with me in three days to attack the Mongols' military supplies." Emperor Frederick II of the Shinra said.

The 5,000 Mongolian troops led by Guiyou on the other side marched long distances for eight days, and by this time they had seen the tall and towering city from a distance.
