Then he said, "I heard your mother say about your plan, but I don't mind listening to you again.

“Because I’m afraid of misunderstanding the key points in your plan.

"Now, I've got it all."

Roger asked proudly: "Then what do you think of my plan?"

After asking, he added anxiously: "So far, I have defeated the enemy's advance army according to this plan and eliminated the enemy's partial divisions."

Baldwin smiled and praised: "You did a good job and achieved remarkable results."

Then he said in a slightly regretful tone: "But this does not prove that you can defeat the Egyptians according to your plan."

Roger was a little anxious, and Baldwin patted Roger's back of his hand and comforted:

"Please listen to me first."

Roger realized that there was a king in front of him, and the other party politely said "please".

He thought that as a nobleman, he should not be rude.

He calmed down and apologized for his misconduct.

Baldwin smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't be with me, I said, you are my son."

"Your plan is actually very good, but this time the enemy is not ordinary people, but the jihad army.

"I think you may not know much about 'faith' and 'jihad'."

Roger raised his head slightly, and his nose expanded twice in discontent.

Baldwin seemed to feel it keenly, he said:

“I heard that you are very familiar with the Bible and the Quran.

“But I think you still don’t understand how powerful faith can make people become.

"At that time, the Eastern Expedition Army was in Antioch..."

Roger knew about this history, and out of courtesy, he did not interrupt Baldwin.

Baldwin continued: “During the time when Antioch was severely scarce, the believers ate everything.”

He paused, stared into Roger's eyes and said:

“They not only eat leather from the next year, but also dead livestock.

"In fact, they eat anything they can eat."

Roger's heart tightened and he thought of a terrible scene.

Baldwin continued: "The core of your plan is to destroy the enemy's supply and make the other party unable to fight because of hunger.

"But as long as there is a battle, there are horses, camels, and...."

Cold sweat oozed from Roger's forehead, and he had never thought about it.

He said as if he squeezed the words out of his throat: "No, this is, this is too cruel!"

Baldwin said earnestly: "This is a God's battle. For God, no matter what sacrifice is made, the believers are willing."

Roger gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "No, I don't believe that the enemy may not be so cruel.

"What's more, if the trenches we dug were used as the battlefield, it would not be so easy for the enemy to bring those back."

Baldwin nodded and praised, "You are a very careful person, you are right.

"Do you know how many camels there are in the Egyptians?"

Roger shook his head, but he knew in his heart that Egypt, which had a large desert area, had a huge number of camels.

"The Egyptians will definitely use a large number of camels to transport supplies," Baldwin said.

Roger interjected: "I know this. When I defeated their advance troops, I seized a lot of camels."

Baldwin said to Roger's words: "Camels can provide food in addition to transporting them.

“What I said is not just killing and eating, camels can also produce milk.

"The Bedouin people in the desert can last for a long time by drinking camel milk."

Roger nodded while thinking, "I know this. I know some Bedouin people, and they have told me."

Then he turned around and said, "So in my plan, there needs to be a unit that continuously attacks the enemy's supply lines and robs their camel caravans."

Baldwin retorted slowly, "What if their army, with a large number of camels?"

Roger shook his head and said, "That's impossible. The water supply from the desert oasis allows them to move forward in groups."

Baldwin smiled and praised, "You are the best commander I have ever met, and few people can be as thoughtful as you.

"But infantry is not good for such harassment operations.

"And our cavalry is limited, how long can we last for one echelon after another?"

Roger said proudly: "I have defeated the enemy's advance team and partial division, and we have suffered very little losses."

Baldwin smiled and said, "That's because the enemy did not fight you to the death. If they fought desperately, your losses would not be so little."

Roger frowned and reminded: "Your Majesty, the Nubians as partial teachers may be equipped with minimal equipment, but there are still many elite troops in the Egyptian advance army, and they were also defeated by me at a great cost."

Baldwin said with a calm expression: "This has nothing to do with equipment. What I mean is the enemy's determination to fight to the death.

"If my intelligence is correct, the leader of the enemy's advance force should be from the Ptolemy family."

Roger nodded.

Baldwin said: "The Ptolemy family has always claimed to be descendants of Alexander the Great. They actually do not believe in the Iranian religion, or they are just false believers.

“As for those Nubians, they believe in Christ.

"The Egyptian Caliph used these people to hit the front stand, just a test.

"If you think the opponent's main force is so easy to deal with, then you're fooled."

Roger touched his chin and pondered.

Baldwin said in a induced manner: “That’s why, I modified your plan.

“The Ashkiron region is a grassland, and the Egyptians can easily dig out water.

"With water and grass, their camels can continue to produce milk, and they can persist for a long time.

"But in the Sinai Desert, they can only find water in a limited number of oasis, and there is no enough people to drink, so it is naturally not the turn of camels.

"Camels cannot drink water, and the milk they produce will be very limited, so they will not last long.
