Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 440 A Sudden Reversal of the Situation

Siret.

Jian Xiao squeezed the straw stick in his hand, and frowned as he looked at the map in front of him.

For the first time, he felt that Zhu Zhanhe's plan was a bit hasty, because logically speaking, they had to destroy the Golden Horde first, then the Grand Duchy of Mosk, and then attack the most powerful Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

No matter how bad it is, the Golden Horde and the Grand Duchy of Mosk must be overwhelmed first, otherwise things may take a turn for the worse.

Chen Mao, Zheng Heng, and Zhu Sanfeng, the three men divided into two groups, led a total of [-] troops, plus white phosphorous eggs, it was indeed enough to beat the Golden Horde and the Grand Duchy of Moscow to their own devices, but the time may still be short. Almost.

It's not that Zhu Zhanhe's plan is not good, it's just that it's not very safe, and Jian Xiao thinks it's safest to support him too.

As for the way to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania... Jian Xiao didn't think that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania would be able to resist with a combined army of 15.

Instead of worrying about this, it is better to worry about how the abandoned Nicoburg will fight back.

How easy is it to beat Nico Fort?Occupying the upper air can be done with white phosphorous eggs, so it should be easier to attack the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. After all, if the cold air from the north moves south in winter, it will be difficult for the Ming army to occupy the upper air.

But Nicoburg is different, you can go around to the upper air outlet just by making a detour.

Thinking of this, Jian Xiao fell into a deep entanglement.

However, just when he was struggling, the voice of the orderly brought him back to reality.

"Report! Scouting information!"

"Come in! Jane sat up straight with a smile.

A royal guard quickly opened the door and walked in, bringing in a scout at the same time.

The Shizi guards quickly retreated, and the door of the camp was also closed. The chaotic footsteps outside the door proved that the people around were also evacuated.

"Report to General Jian! We have discovered that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania's Zhitomia, Lutsk, and Vladimir are moving troops, and the direction of the troop deployment is to shrink to the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Wilno!"

"At the same time, the Kingdom of Poland, which is adjacent to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and an ally of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, is also mobilizing troops. Lviv, Galicia, and Przemysl in its border areas are all retreating northward, but the direction seems to be Not Krakow, the capital of the Kingdom of Poland!"

"What!?" Jane smiled and frowned instantly.

Zhytomir, Lutsk, and Vladimir are all border areas of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, as are the places where the Kingdom of Poland withdrew its troops. Normally, the withdrawal of troops is not done in this way.

In the face of the invasion of foreign enemies, even if you want to shrink your defense, it is after losing the enemy. If you withdraw your troops and return to the defense before you have fought, you will probably be sprayed to death by the people in the country.

Moreover, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania can be said to be the most powerful country in the entire Eastern European region. Although its ally, the Kingdom of Poland, is much weaker, it can be regarded as a powerful country in the middle and upper reaches.

Although the Ming army knew that there was an alliance between these two countries before, it was because they wanted to jointly resist the aggression of the Teutonic Knights in the north. But this time they sent troops to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This is the first time that the two sides have joined forces. It is said that.

But even though it was the first time I heard about it, Jian Xiao was not surprised. After all, as an ally, both sides are one and the same until the final goal is achieved.

It is reasonable for the Kingdom of Poland not to sit back and watch the Grand Duchy of Lithuania being wiped out by the Ming army. Zhu Zhanhe had anticipated this a long time ago and told Jian Xiao to take precautions.

Therefore, what surprised Jian Xiao was not this. What surprised him was that the two most powerful countries in Eastern Europe had united. Why did they shrink back to defense?
Even if they knew the strength of the Ming army, even if they knew the lethality of the white phosphorous egg, it wouldn't be like this, would it?
"Send the order down!"

Can't think of a reason, and Jian Xiao has no other way.

"Let everyone work harder and explore inside as much as possible, but the main thing is safety, and we must evacuate when it is time to evacuate."

"Yes!"

The yellow people want to go deep into the white country and spy on the intelligence. Jian Xiao knows how difficult this matter is, so although he really wants to know why the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and his fraternal ally, the Kingdom of Poland, have shrunk back to defense, But it won't mess around.

If you can get the desired result, it will be considered a sacrifice, and Jian Xiao is also acceptable.

But it can be said that it is impossible for yellow people to go to white countries to spy on intelligence. Jian Xiao will not let his soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices.

But after all, this issue still needs to be clarified, otherwise the attack on the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the future is likely to lay the groundwork.

But how to find out?

Jane smiled and pinched her temples with a headache, took out a booklet from the package beside her and began to read it.

These are some things he recorded, all of which Zhu Zhanhe once said.

Unlike Zhu Zhanhe, Zhu Zhanhe can basically remember the names, geographical locations, living habits, and religions of these European countries just by listening to them once, and there are many others that don’t even need to be heard. there is.

But Jane smiled differently.

For Jian Xiao, let alone such messy things as religion, theocracy and kingship, even the name of a place or a country seems so awkward to him, if you don’t record it casually, you may really not remember it .

Jian Xiao directly turned the booklet to the latest page, the ink on it was still a little fresh, obviously it hadn't been written for a long time.

"Kingdom of Poland... Grand Duchy of Lithuania... Grand Duchy of Mosk... Teutonic Knights..."

Jian Xiao muttered to himself while watching, and clicked on the Teutonic Knights.

The Teutonic Knights are one of the three major knights of the Kidu Church, and the only remaining knights so far.

The other two orders are the Knights Templar and the Knights of Malta.

Among them, the Knights Templar were forced to disband as early as 1312. The reason was that they had many privileges because of the support of the Holy See. They grew rapidly in the Kingdom of France, and their size, power and wealth reached the point where they could rival a country. .

Finally, in 1307, many members of the Knights Templar were arrested in the Kingdom of France, and were accused of heresy and burned at the stake. Five years later, in 1312, Pope Clement V had to dissolve the Holy Order under pressure. Templar Knights.

The Teutonic Knights were also one of the three original knights. They first went to Venice, then went to Prussia, and finally established the Teutonic Knights.

The Teutonic Knights have another name after that, which is the State of the Teutonic Knights.

That's right, there is an extra country's national character.

Over the years, the Teutonic Knights continued to go south and invaded the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland, so this was naturally considered by Jian Xiao as the reason for the withdrawal of troops from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland.

However, even if the Teutonic Knights became independent, it was once one of the three major Catholic knights.

This time, Jane laughed and guessed wrong.

……

konigsberg.

It is located on the coast of the Baltic Sea and belongs to the Teutonic Knights, but in fact it is the buffer zone of the Teutonic Knights, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland.

But today, there is a new owner here.

"Set up the artillery and catapults as quickly as possible!" Wang Jinghong looked at the busy soldiers and gave orders continuously.

"The tents must be set up before dark, and all firearms must be set up!"

No one thought that the Ming Navy, which once caused a sensation in the entire Mediterranean Sea, would support the main force of the army in this way at this time.
