"Yes, if the Moors launch a wave of rockets, these canoes will be easily ignited, but this can be regarded as a different kind of pontoon bridge. However, if the Northern Allied Forces cannot control the south bank, this pontoon bridge will not be able to respond.
It has a certain effect, so the Northern Alliance still has to rely on those transport ships to seize the beach and land on it."
Liu Xing took a look at the terrain data of the Tagus River battlefield and continued: "Now the shortest distance between the two sides is about one hundred meters, which can be said to be wide or narrow, which is very important for the Northern Allied Forces as the attacker.
There are good and bad things. The good thing is that it takes a few minutes for their transport ships to reach the other side. The bad thing is that their transport ships will always be within the enemy's attack range. As long as the Southern Allied Forces have enough arrows, then the Northern Allied Forces will
The transport ship is going to turn into a hedgehog, of course it may also be a fire hedgehog."
"I don't think Afonso VI is so bold as to cross the river right under his opponent's nose. Every general should know the principle of half-crossing and attacking... But judging from the current situation, the number of Northern Allied Forces is more than
The Southern Allied Forces were 40% larger, so the Northern Allied Forces only needed to use their own archers to suppress the other side. However, the requirements for archers were very high, because the maximum range that archers in this period could achieve was about 150 meters.
Moreover, the requirements for archers, bows and arrows are very high, so it is not easy to suppress an enemy a hundred meters away."
"No wonder they chose to confront each other here. The distance of 100 meters is really not too much or too little. It can ensure that your own archers can cause effective damage to the enemies crossing the river, and you don't have to worry about the other side's archers doing effective damage.
Counterattack, but this Afonso VI is too stubborn, he is the attacker." Zhang Jingxu said somewhat speechlessly.
"Then let's give the camera to Afonso VI now and see what he thinks."
As Mu Yao spoke, he cut the camera to Afonso VI who was sitting firmly in the military tent.
"Andre, do you think we should change places?"
Afonso VI rubbed his eyes and said helplessly: "I really didn't expect that the Moorish army could be assembled in such a short period of time."
"We were careless."
A gray-haired general who looked to be in his fifties or sixties shook his head and said: "We should have sent people directly across the river at the beginning to ensure a safe landing point on the south bank... And now I doubt that we will
There was a traitor among us, otherwise it would not be possible to explain why the Moors knew about our activities in the first place."
"Alonso, what do you think?"
Alonso, who was named by Afonso VI, was a short, unremarkable middle-aged man, but he held an important position in the court of Afonso VI - Chief of Intelligence.
Although Alfonso VI's various abilities are very average, he also has a very good advantage, that is, he knows people well and uses them eclectically. That's why Alonso, who was originally a small gangster, was able to join the palace.
middle.
"Your Majesty, although there are no traces of the Moors in the Royal City yet, the cities near the Tagus River have begun to trade with the Moors, and some cities even allow the Moors to stay in the city. So when our army assembled in the Royal City
, maybe the news had reached the ears of the Moors, so they returned to the south bank to inform their own people."
Alonso sighed and said helplessly: "As long as there are enough benefits, some people will not mind doing things for the Moors. Just like the intelligence network you ordered me to establish on the south bank, Your Majesty, has also used coercion and inducement.
Recruited several Moors, and they brought me bad news last night, that is, the Berbers on the other side of the sea have organized a support army to come to support. The most important thing is that the support army
There are a lot of cavalry."
"Camel cavalry?" Afonso VI touched his chin and said: "When I was living on the south coast, I once heard someone mention that the Berbers on the other side of the sea had a powerful camel cavalry. Although those camels
The running speed is not as fast as our horses, but their long-distance running ability should not be underestimated, so if these camel cavalry do not enter the frontal battlefield, but bypass our main force to harass the rear, then we will be in trouble
Already."
As soon as Alfonso VI finished speaking, Alonso immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have sent people to pay close attention to those camel cavalry. When the time comes, we can get the news as soon as possible if they make any slightest move;
In addition, I also found out some not-so-good news, that is, the Berbers recently established a kingdom - the Al-Murabit Kingdom."
"What, those damn Berbers actually established a kingdom? Do they want to annex the Moors?"
Afonso VI spent some time in the territory of the Moors, so he knew very well that the relationship between the Moors and the Berbers was actually very close. If they were not separated by the sea, they would be one family. Therefore, now the Berbers
When people established a kingdom, it was very possible for the Moors to become one of their own.
"This is going to be a bit troublesome." Andre frowned and said, "If nothing else, the Berbers want to take this opportunity to annex the Moors. This means that if we succeed in this war,
If it fails, there will be two kingdoms on the Iberian Peninsula."
"No, I don't think this is allowed to happen!"
The angry Afonso VI slapped the table and said seriously: "There can only be one kingdom on the Iberian Peninsula, and that is the Kingdom of Spain! Andre, please arrange for the messengers to go to various cities now and let the city lords
All the prisoners in the prison were brought here, and then they paid high prices to buy slaves from the merchants and nobles. In short, they brought as many people as possible. We must solve the problem once and for all this time, and we cannot let the Berbers reach out.
Iberian Peninsula!”
"What about the mercenaries? Do you want to spend a lot of money to recruit some more?"
As soon as Andre finished speaking, Afonso VI nodded and said: "Of course, we will take as many mercenaries as they come, but don't raise the price too high, lest some unscrupulous little gangsters come too.
Come and pretend to be a mercenary."
"What about Cid?"
Andre took advantage of the situation and said: "As far as I know, Cid did not choose to leave, but lived in seclusion in a remote town. I think if Your Majesty is willing to pardon Cid, then Cid will definitely serve your Majesty.
