Cairo City Lord's Palace, Jiang Xuan and Nashadir's temporary command room.
The two people looked at the entire map of Egypt. More than 70% of Egypt's territory is desert. It can be said to be a country in the sand.
Cairo is one of the few oases in this desert country.
This place originally belonged to the British people, but now it belongs to Longyan City.
"The port city of France is located in the southwest of Egypt, but it is quite far away from us. The battle line cannot be stretched too far. Although we have a place to stop and settle in the middle, it is only one city."
"There is only one route to this city. If the transportation line is cut off by France, the consequences will be disastrous." Nashadir looked at the map cart and said in a deep voice.
Jiang Xuan also thinks so. Although their army has an extremely fast marching speed.
But once the transportation line is cut off, no matter how fast the transportation speed is, it will be useless.
Your supplies will not be transported to the front line at all and will be of no use.
It is true that they are joining forces with Britain, but transportation lines cannot be entirely supported by their allies.
They still need to feel bad about themselves.
Moreover, there are many deserts in this area of Egypt, so there are only a few routes that can be marched, and there are no small roads or trails.
"It seems that we can only station troops first."
Jiang Xuan said this helplessly.
Nashadir nodded, there was nothing that could be done about it, but fortunately the Dragon Flame Army was marching fast enough.
It was enough for France to complete the matter of stationing troops without much reaction time.
So who will be the vanguard to explore the road is a question.
The vanguard troops are often responsible for exploring routes and spying on intelligence. This time, they also need to transport food and grass.
Therefore, it is very important to be the vanguard, but this task is very dangerous.
Nashadir said calmly: "Don't argue with me for the credit of the vanguard."
Jiang Xuan glanced at him.
Nashadir has been wandering in the desert for many years, so he is indeed a suitable candidate to be the vanguard.
"Okay, I won't take the credit from you. I'll sit in the rear."
After agreeing on the action plan, Nashadir led a vanguard of 10,000 troops to the port city of Egypt.
Because of Longyan's special marching equipment, the vanguard marched very quickly, but they also had to sleep in the open air along the way.
Originally, fresh vegetables and fruits in Egypt were luxuries. Such things could hardly survive in the desert and were inconvenient to transport.
Therefore, the only grain that can be transported in large quantities is some grain.
But since the arrival of the Longyan people, Nashadir has never worried about vegetables.
As night approached, Nashadir did not dare to continue marching and ordered his soldiers to camp on the spot for one night.
A large pot was set up in the military camp. Nashadir took off the sheepskin bag tied around his waist and put various dried vegetables into the big pot.
In no time, a delicious and luxurious vegetable soup will be ready.
Every time he saw a pot of vegetable soup like this being prepared, Nashadir couldn't help but sigh, Long Yan's chief assistant, Liu Zheng, is really a strange person.
I actually thought of drying vegetables and putting them in sheepskin bags to keep them fresh. Not only can they be stored for a long time.
It is also easy to carry. One person can carry more than ten kilograms of these dried vegetables, but if it is replaced by undried vegetables, it is not a small number.
Although there is a lack of water resources in the desert, a person who lives in the desert all year round knows how to obtain water in the desert.
