The Eagle of Eastern Europe

The Duke of Bourbon is neutral, so Burgundy can only go to Romania to discuss it. It would be better if it can get support.

Of course, he is not considering it, after all, he has already roped in Sigismund to help him. In the fight for Romania, neutralizing the other party is the greatest victory.

"I didn't expect that the Duke of Burgundy would suffer so much criticism. It must be very aggrieved, right?"

"The Duke's grievances are nothing, but what makes him sad is that there are a group of people in France who do not care about the country who are hindering him. If this continues, there will be no hope for the country."

Arras said this, directly portraying Philip as a loyal minister who did his best for France. He would have really believed it if his fourth uncle hadn't said it.

"It turns out that I sympathize with him more. When the emperor comes back, I will go to Dijon to see him."

Hearing this, Alas was happy in his heart. If the emperor did not favor them, then the crown prince would be fine too.

Peter led the army to Lviv. At this time, after the Cossack attack, the local area was already in danger. The Romanian army gave them the final blow.

In order to save their lives, Lviv officials opened the city and surrendered. Peter rode into the city, and citizens and officials knelt twice in the road to greet the new ruler.

"How's it going? Did you collect any food?"

"Not much has been collected. They don't have much food reserves, and no grains were found in the warehouse. However, the rations carried by the soldiers are enough. By then, the food convoy should have arrived."

"It seems that the food should be concentrated in Krakow. After all, they have to supply the attacking Polish army." Peter said thoughtfully.

"Let Listerine hurry up and deliver the supplies. No matter what the difficulty is, we must overcome it."

Peter could only do this. After all, no matter how powerful the army was, it would be difficult to move forward without supplies.

"Your Majesty!" Several important generals have come to the city hall to wait for the emperor's arrival.

"Have your legions been settled?" the emperor asked casually.

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. They are eagerly preparing to fight!" A slightly younger general said first.

He glanced at the map drawn by the Ministry of Military Affairs based on intelligence placed on the wooden table in the center of the room, and then said: "Before we discuss the battle plan, we must take into account all current situations. Our ultimate goal is to enter Warsaw. , then Krakow in the middle must also be captured, and according to the news, Wladyslaw has already led the army, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they arrive here. "

Everyone nodded, even though Poland has not had much national strength after years of struggle. But he still has the ability to fight. Moreover, a group of mercenaries also entered Poland, which put more pressure on them.

“Cracow has been the capital of Poland since it was founded, and the Mongols failed here too. This gave them confidence that this was God’s favor.

However, this city is located on the upper reaches of the Vistula River, and has been continuously constructed in recent years, so its defense is quite complete. If Wladyslaw was defeated and fled back, attacking here would be very costly. "

"No matter what the cost, we have to win here. They think they are the chosen ones, so let's make them realize that they are not." The person next to him said immediately. The victory in the war made him feel omnipotent and no one could. will hinder Romania's progress.

Yes, that is our goal, but we need to fight to achieve it. Peter looked to his side: "General Stefan, did you read the battle plan I asked the messenger to send last night?" "

The other party immediately replied: "Your Majesty, please let some of the cavalry cross the Vistula River, plunder near Warsaw, harass the reinforcements coming from the Milan area, and at the same time harass Warsaw from the south..."

Peter nodded, "This is the current plan. According to calculations, the Russian army is already fighting in Vilnius at this time, and it will not take long to enter Poland. What we do is to make Wladyslaw unable to do anything, no matter what he does, It’s awesome, and it’s impossible to separate.”

At this time, another scout from Krakow came back with even worse news: "Romanian troops were discovered entering Lviv!"

There is no doubt that after Lviv is over, the Romanian army's goal is obviously Krakow! The luck in the defenders' hearts was shattered, and they all felt nervous.

"How many people are there in the attacking Romanian army?" The questioner was a local nobleman from Krakow.

"Because the Romanians sent cavalry to roam around the army, the reconnaissance cavalry could not get close to observe, but based on experience, I am afraid there are seven to 100,000 people."

This number made many people take a breath and exclaim: "So many enemies! And we only have 6,000 soldiers in the city! When will the king's reinforcements come?"

"A messenger came two days ago, saying that we are preparing to attack Minsk and let us hold on."

This directly caused some grumpy people to yell, "How long have you been thinking about his poor place? He should not have been allowed to come here from the countryside in Lithuania to see what Poland is like now."

"From the current situation, the Romanians are taking a lot of effort to attack Krakow, and everyone has seen the situation in the city now. Can they resist the Romanians' attack and hold on until the king leads his army back?

So I propose to send a messenger to persuade the king to lead his army back to Rome immediately."

This method was agreed without much hindrance. You know, they are not only defenders, but also landlords in Krakow. All the land is here, and Rome will definitely confiscate it when it comes, and then they will have nothing.

At this time, Krakow stood up and said, "By the way, in order to increase the garrison, I suggest that all the citizens in the city be organized, whether they are children or the elderly, to defend on the city walls."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then they upgraded Krakow more. The water source in the suburbs was destroyed, the buildings were demolished, and the grain was harvested. At the same time, they were preparing to demolish the bridge on the Vistula River, but they were stopped because of Krakow's geographical location. The bridge toll here is very high, and it would be a pity to demolish it.

Władysław had originally been planning to go to Krakow, but he got the news that Minsk was empty, and some Lithuanians around him talked about recovering the land, so he decided to take the opportunity to attack Minsk. This would not only solve the Russian problem, but also the Romanian problem, so that a dead chess game could be revived.
