Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 464 You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder

Europe, Kingdom of Hungary, Pozzoni.

It is said to be within the Kingdom of Hungary, but in fact it is just over the border, and because it is too close to Vienna, this Pozzoni belongs to Hungary in name, but is actually under the rule of the Habsburg dynasty.

But now, there are no Habsburgs here.

At the beginning, the Habsburg dynasty tried to obtain the throne of the Holy Roman Empire in the simplest and most convenient way through the relationship between Frederick III and the husband of Sigismund's only daughter.

However, Frederick III died and was buried in the Mediterranean Sea, and his body has not been found so far.

This meant that the long-standing plans of the Habsburg dynasty were forced to go bankrupt.

Sigismund has only one daughter, who is also married, and her husband Albrecht has also been determined to be Sigismund's heir.

The only relationship bond was broken, and it took too long to re-establish a relationship, and the Habsburg dynasty had no relationship to operate, but they did not want to let the long-planned plan go to waste.

Therefore, taking advantage of Sigismund's consecutive defeats in the war against the Ming army, the Habsburg dynasty came out in full force, wanting to strike with all their strength and force Sigismund to abdicate.

This led to the transfer of most of the power of the Habsburg dynasty in Vienna, and even the entire southern and eastern European regions, giving the Ming army a chance to occupy the nest.

With little effort, the Ming army has swept away the surrounding area of ​​Vienna, as well as Pozzoni east of Vienna, and even approached Visegrad in the north of Budapest, the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary.

Now, as long as the two cities of Buda and Pest are captured, Zhu Zhanhe's western expedition plan has reached a new milestone.

Fully occupy the Apennine Peninsula, the Balkan Peninsula, the middle and lower reaches of the Danube Plain.

On the entire map of Europe, this place is not big, but it is the core place, because more than half of the places in Europe today are rarely inhabited.

Moreover, after the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland are also captured, the places east of them will be some fresh and rarely inhabited places, and the Holy Roman Empire will also enter the point of lingering.

At that time, just push all the way west, and the eastern region can be cleaned up if you mess around.

"His Royal Highness, everything has been packed."

Zhu Zhanhe looked at Zhu Ping who walked in, then lowered his head again: "Then get ready to go."

The two cities of Buda and Pest must be taken, but as the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary, it is also the place that Sigismund paid the most attention to before. It is still difficult to win here.

That's why Zhu Zhanhe chose to raid Vienna, first divide the battlefield, then slowly eat away the area around Budapest, and finally take Budapest.

Today, the entire middle reaches of the Danube has been cleaned up almost, and even if there are still residual forces, it will not have much impact.

It's time to take Budapest and prepare to split the East and West battlefields.

It's just that most things in this world often don't go smoothly, unless you have abilities far beyond this world, so that no one has the power to resist.

……

Masovia.

This place is actually a chaotic place, because it is a place sandwiched between the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the Teutonic Knights.

The people in this place were not reconciled to being oppressed by the Three Kingdoms, and fought hard to resist, eventually forming such a chaotic area.

Facts have proved that those who have the courage to resist may not have a particularly good ending, because a successful outcome requires many elements, and success can only be achieved if all of them gather together.

But in the process of resistance, you will get a lot, and you will also create many achievements that others can't think of.

The resistance of the Masovians was not successful in the end. They tried their best to achieve semi-independence and were eventually annexed.

What they did might not have made much sense historically, but it's different now.

Warsaw, the center of Masovia.

"Report to the king's commander! The latest information from the scouts!"

"Come in!"

As Wang Jinghong's voice fell, a guard came in with a scout. After the guard handed a piece of paper to Wang Jinghong for stamping, he quickly backed out and closed the door behind him.

"Say."

"Report to Commander Wang, the battle situation has changed!"

The scout's rapid speech made Wang Jinghong's heart skip a beat.

"We saw some familiar faces in Torun, the border of the Kingdom of Poland, but these familiar faces were not from the Kingdom of Poland. They looked a bit like the people who ambushed us near the Kingdom of Denmark when we entered the Baltic Sea!"

……

Wang Jinghong was silent.

Since the scouts have reported it, it means that the authenticity of the news has been confirmed. Even if there are accidents in it, for example, some soldiers from the Kingdom of Denmark who ambushed them at the beginning turned to the Kingdom of Poland, etc., but this possibility will not very big.

In other words, it is basically certain that the Kingdom of Poland has also been involved, and it is still on the opposite side of Ming Dynasty.

"Where are they heading?" Wang Jinghong asked after pondering for a long time.

"They shouldn't have appeared in Torun, are they trying to cut off our retreat?"

The Kingdom of Poland does not rely on the sea, even if their territory is infinitely close to the Baltic Sea, but if they do not rely on the sea, they do not rely on the sea. There is also a Principality of Pomerania between them and the Baltic Sea.

Although the Principalities of Pomerania were subject to the Kingdom of Poland during the tenth century, they are now a vassal of the Holy Roman Empire.

In other words, people from the Kingdom of Denmark appeared in the Kingdom of Poland, and it was Torun, which is the closest to Masovia. The situation here is not simple, and it may not be clear in a few words.

At the very least, these people were involved in the Holy Roman Empire in addition to the Kingdom of Denmark and Poland.

"According to the information we have obtained, they don't seem to mean to cut off our retreat. Instead, they follow the Vistula River south in batches, and they seem to want to confront us head-on in Masovia."

"Oh?" Wang Jinghong sat up straight in an instant.

There are many criteria for a strong general, but one of them is to be able to judge what the enemy wants to do next through the simplest actions of the enemy.

Judging from this news, Wang Jinghong believed that they might have entered the Kingdom of Poland through the Principality of Bomerania along the Vistula River, intending to compete with him on the frontal battlefield.

So, their purpose is...

Wang Jinghong turned around abruptly, and turned his gaze to the map hanging in the center of the tent.

"Immediately! Send someone..."

"Report!"

Before Wang Jinghong finished speaking, the voice of the messenger outside the tent sounded again.

"Come in!"

"Report to Commander Wang, General Jian Xiao's vanguard troops have entered Masovia and are expected to join us in the afternoon!"

Wang Jinghong was stunned for a moment, and then a smile covered his entire face.

War, sometimes it is that simple.

A small mutation will eventually cause the entire occupation to be reversed.

……

As the day went by, Wang Jinghong, who had been looking forward to the arrival of Jian Xiao's army since the morning, finally saw the figure of Jian Xiao's army before nightfall.

Wang Jinghong got on his horse and beckoned at the same time. The Ming army, which had already formed a phalanx at the gate of the camp, rushed out from the two wings and surrounded Jian Xiaojun.

Jian Xiao didn't say anything, got off the horse, and led by Wang Jinghong's guards to the gate of Daying.

This is a necessary procedure to avoid the situation where generals surrender to the enemy and bring troops back to counterattack. This kind of procedure has always been there, just like the Emperor Taizong's imperial conquest, and Zhu Gaoxu, who was still the King of Han at that time, went to wipe out the three guards of Wuliangha, and Zhu Gaoxu returned. At the same time, the troops were first stationed three miles away, and they waited for the procedures to be completed before remerging into the camp.

But this is in the European battlefield, this procedure will be much simpler, because the skin color of the Ming army and the enemy is different.

"General Jian!" Wang Jinghong clasped his fists in a salute, and then said.

"I got an important message in the morning, let's stop wasting time on red tape and get into the account first!"

Hearing this, Jian Xiao's expression became serious, and she followed Wang Jinghong into the Chinese army tent.

In front of the map of the Chinese military tent, Wang Jinghong told Jian Xiao all the news he got in the morning.

"So, Commander Wang thinks that the Kingdom of Denmark was actually lured into the game by the Holy Roman Empire, and wants to take this opportunity to borrow the power of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom of Poland, and even does not rule out the participation of the Holy Roman Empire. , based on driving the treasure fleet from Masovia back to sea?"

After hearing the news from Wang Jinghong, Jian Xiao came to a conclusion.

"In that case, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is likely to take the opportunity to attack, because once the treasure fleet is driven back to the sea, my side is tantamount to going deep into the enemy's belly, under the attack of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania It is bound to be difficult to support alone, and eventually lose."

"That's right, I think so too." Wang Jinghong nodded, but then he expressed more opinions.

"However, it may be more than that, because we had some conflicts with the Kingdom of Denmark when we entered the Baltic Sea. They wanted to impose a so-called 'strait tax' on us, and we finally repelled them."

"Oh?" Jane frowned tightly with a smile.

"That said, things may be a little more complicated."

"Our Daming's sea power was exposed to the enemy early on. I have learned before that, based on the shipbuilding strength here, they cannot build ships that can fight against treasure ships."

"So, if they want to win the war, they can't bypass our Ming's treasure fleet, because as long as the treasure fleet is there, even if we can't win, we can retreat calmly and look for another chance."

"That is to say..."

Having said that, Jian Xiao raised her head and looked at Wang Jinghong with burning eyes.

"That's right, I think so too." Wang Jinghong also looked straight at Jane and smiled.

"They are very likely to lay an ambush at sea, because there are many islands in the strait of the Kingdom of Denmark, even if there is no sea power to compete with us, they may cause heavy damage to us."

"Based on the sea routes I've traveled so far, it's the place with the most islands and the most complicated ones. Even if I am ambush in the Strait of Gibraltar, I may have no chance of winning, but there..."

"Perhaps the horse will stumble..."

"In that case..." Jane laughed when she heard the words, but this smile was a bit bloodthirsty.

"They want to drive the treasure fleet back to the sea, so we might as well do the opposite, advance south, and attack Lawa directly!"

As she spoke, Jane pointed her finger on the map.

Rava, the second line of defense to the north of Krakow, the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark, there is Petrakoff behind Rava, and Krakow is behind Petrakoff.

Most importantly, Lava is not far from Masovia.

"Then..." Wang Jinghong also laughed when he heard the words, and looked at Jian Xiao with a questioning meaning.

"When are you leaving?"

"Now!"

"Now?"

"That's right!" Jane nodded sharply with a smile, her tone unquestionable.

"Most of the soldiers I lead are exhausted. It's night, and they are still marching in a hurry. I'm afraid it's not good enough, but it's just right. This Warsaw needs people to guard, otherwise, even if we win Lava, we will lose it here and lose Sanfeng. Contact was lost there."

"So, I'll bring a small number of elites to South Lava with you, leaving the others to guard Warsaw!"

"Okay!" Wang Jinghong gritted his teeth, and felt that it was time to put the whole boat down.

"I still have a lot of white phosphorous eggs here, even if it's Lawa, it won't be a problem if I think about it!"

"Don't worry about weapons. I also brought white phosphorus eggs, and I also brought a new weapon that His Royal Highness just sent out. Its lethality is not weaker than that of white phosphorus eggs, and is even better!"

"Then what are you waiting for!?" Wang Jinghong's eyes lit up suddenly.

"I'm going to ask someone to arrange for the soldiers to rest, and at the same time confirm the matter of changing defenses. When these are all arranged, we will set off!"

"March quickly, you should be able to reach Lava before dawn!"

"no problem!"

……

The Ming army camp in Warsaw quickly became chaotic, but after careful observation, you will find that the chaos here is actually orderly in chaos.

The soldiers at the top of the city were quickly replaced, with tired faces, but still spirited soldiers were replaced, but this situation will not last long, basically they can fully recover by tomorrow evening, as long as two shift workers Time will do.

Soon, Warsaw, which was still somewhat dim, became brightly lit. The soldiers lit bonfires on various roadsides and corners to help them complete the defense change and material handling.

After a while, colorful colors suddenly appeared in the sky above Warsaw City, which seemed to indicate something.

"Is this... the aurora that His Royal Highness said?" Jian Xiao stood at the top of the city, looking at the colorful colors in the sky and muttering to himself.

"Is this trying to tell us something..."

In fact, this is not the aurora. If Zhu Zhanhe was here, he would tell Jian Xiao that it was a phenomenon called Hanye Lamppost.

The aurora is a phenomenon produced by the solar wind entering the earth's magnetic field near the north and south poles of the earth, but the cold night lamp post is different.

There is no similarity between lampposts in cold nights and the solar wind. This phenomenon is caused by the condensation of water vapor in the air into ice crystals due to the cold, and the ice crystals capture and reflect the light source. This is also called "lampposts". The reason, because the main reflection of this phenomenon is the light.

Cold night lamp posts are not limited to the vicinity of the north and south poles, but they are also produced under cold conditions.

This phenomenon is actually telling people that the weather is cold, and it will get colder and colder in the next few days.

For people, the beauty of this cold night lamp post is beautiful, but it is not a good thing, especially for the Ming army who is in the middle of the war.

However, the cold has always been an indiscriminate attack. It will not only attack the Ming army, but also the enemy.

As for who will win the fruits of victory, it depends on who overcomes and adapts to the cold first, and even uses it.
