The Ming army occupied the high ground first and gained the advantage. The coalition forces fought for a long time but failed to defeat them. They left the bodies all over the ground and hurriedly withdrew their troops.

In the small mountain city of Schelin, the mountain city was changed to be the camp of the coalition forces and the place where the Seven Emperors stayed, the city had been newly decorated.

Compared with Emperor Zhu's previous "fine decoration", the hall is now decorated with luxurious decoration. Not only are the floor covered with thick fine carpets, but even a few sets of sofas are shipped, but there are also various European ornaments and furniture, making the entire hall look magnificent.

At this time, in the hall, all the noble generals of the seven-nation coalition forces arrived, including their emperor and king.

It records the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, the Ottoman Empire Sultan and Vizier, the Polish King John III, the Spanish King Carlos II, the Swedish King Carl XI, and the Norwegian King Christian V......

They are old and young, and many of them are related and talk to each other.

Louis XIV was the last to enter the hall. He strided high above the wide chair inlaid with gems and gold, with sharp eyes, as if a god, looking down at the coalition officials who were full of the two sides below.

Although the other monarchs sat side by side with them, their momentum were far inferior to Louis XIV, and their behavior was a little restrained, like a group of younger brothers accompanying them.

This war is related to the survival of Europe. Except for a few nobles who stayed behind their own countries, the nobles of all major families of the rest of the countries went to war with their respective monarchs, which can be said to be coming from the continent.

Seeing that the Sun King looked serious, each of them will stand up one by one according to their respective identities and status.

Although the coalition forces say that all countries are equal, in fact, the French have the highest status, and are arranged in the order of strength of each country's military strength.

At the outermost edge of the hall, translators from various countries were distributed, and the scene was like a large press conference.

Louis XIV sat upright and looked around the hall with the generals standing solemn in the hall. He first looked at the head of the front commander-in-chief Prince Conde: "Great Conde, today's war is governed by you. How is the situation of the war? Tell everyone."

Prince Condai glanced at Louis XIV and responded respectfully.

He turned around and said, "Dear Princes, this time we attacked the high ground, our coalition forces attacked with wheels, a total of seven rounds, and dispatched a total of 50,000 troops..."

"However, the Ming army occupied the favorable terrain first, with strong defense and strong firepower. This highland alone caused our coalition to lose tens of thousands of troops in one day, and even the Earl of Liaos, in France, was killed in battle..."

Everyone nodded. It was normal to kill ten thousand people with the firepower of Mingjun.

There is also the French count who insisted on rushing over, saying that he wanted to put the French military flag into the high ground, but no matter how others pulled it, he could not hold it back. As a result, he was beaten up by the Ming army and could not even fight.

It would be strange if he was reckless!

Prince Kong Dai sighed: "Rewards from the investigation, the Ming army has strict protection for the rear road. If we want to cut off the rear road, we are not optimistic. Moreover, the Ming army is extremely powerful, so we need to be cautious in this war."

After hearing his words, everyone looked worried. This battle is not easy to fight!

All countries have come to the country with all their elite talents, and most of the people left behind in China are scattered. If one is accidentally defeated, it will be a disaster for the country to be destroyed!

The monarchs of various countries were worried and expressed in words.

If this battle is lost, it will be a catastrophe for them. The historical scenes of the Mongol Empire's Western Expedition in the past seem to be vivid in my mind!

Louis XIV had an unhappy face and was dissatisfied with Prince Condé. It was so far. Is this guy still thinking about avoiding the war?

Prince Condé was cautious in dealing with the world and was calm. After seeing Louis XIV's expression, he quickly changed his attitude.

He continued: "Although our coalition failed in the first battle, it is not optimistic. However, our seven countries have many soldiers and a large number of generals, and gather 300,000 troops, which is enough to face the Ming army head-on and erase it here!"

Any outstanding general would shout slogans to give his own courage. Prince Kong Dai said it loudly and confidently, which was completely different from his previous attitude, and was completely different from his previous attitude.

Louis XIV nodded slightly. Da Kong Dai is worthy of being a veteran country and is worthy of his trust...

He said: "The Ming army is at the end of its strength, nothing is scary. Let me tell you too, how to fight and annihilate the Ming army next?"

What a good guy, he was beaten up on the first day, and he was still thinking about annihilation of the Ming army! The Sun King is really broad-minded and talented!

The topic is put aside, and then it is time to discuss around the topic.

"Yes, the Ming army is indeed more powerful, but so what? Under the 300,000-strong coalition army, their mere 100,000 people can only be the result of a great defeat!"

The person who spoke was Marquis Lufova, who was nearly forty years old. He was born in a military family and his father was the Minister of Arms in France.

When he was young, Marquis Lufova assisted his father in his work and was appreciated by Louis XIV. Twelve years ago, his son inherited his father's business and served as the Minister of Arms of France.

This guy was strict and capable, and he made drastic adjustments to Louis XIV and trained his soldiers tirelessly. His military reforms led to the rapid development of the French army. The biggest result was the French-Dutch War several years ago, which led to the French army heading straight into the Netherlands and achieving a great victory.

It can be said that the Marquis of Lufova was one of the most famous great figures in France during the era of Louis XIV. The French called him a great minister of war!

Lufuwa was good at fighting and had great achievements in combat. He continued to be granted titles for his outstanding achievements and was favored by Louis XIV for a long time. He was quite powerful. He was incompatible with Prince Condé and had the idea of ​​replacing him.

Moreover, in terms of private life, Marquis Lufuwa used all means to achieve his goals and was a shameless person.

In this battle, Prince Conde's proposal was incompatible with Louis XIV, which made Lufova seize the opportunity. He urgently wanted to prove himself through a great war and allow him to enjoy a high prestige among the princes and ministers of the coalition forces so that he could rule the French army in the future!

Seeing his arrogant look, the older Prince Condai just smiled and did not argue with the Marquis of Lufuwa.

Under Louis XIV's instruction, Lufova kept advocating that the French army was invincible, and the coalition forces overwhelmed the Ming army and could beat them all out!

Fortunately, Minister of State Coleber said at this time: "This battle requires caution. There are many Ming soldiers and very sharp ones. You should not fight quickly. You should fight around the high ground and defend against dangerous mountains step by step. When the Ming army has eaten all its food, it can defeat its sharpness and annihilate it in one fell swoop!"

Louis XIV nodded. Colbert has always been valued by him. He is also very talented and is particularly good at financial management and diplomacy. He has served as the Minister of Finance and Navy in France.

He was the one who managed France, and Louis XIV had no worries and tried his best to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

Colbert was diligent in his ministry and experienced. What he said at this time was also in line with Louis XIV's steady proposal.

However, Louis XIV was not in a hurry to express his opinion that the coalition forces were the coalition forces of the seven countries, not the French one's own words.

Moreover, fighting against the Ming Dynasty would inevitably suffer a great loss, and even if France had the ability to fight, it would not be able to bear too much.

Looking around, the monarchs and nobles of the other six countries were silent, and seemed to be trying the same idea: preserving strength first.

Looking at the combat power of the Ming army today, the voice of the war between the countries was suddenly weak, and there was no previous arrogance. Many people even had the intention to retreat. How could they jump out of the main site?

Then Louis XIV looked at the Ottoman Sultan. The young emperor seemed to have a soul out of his body, standing there on the spot, not knowing what he was thinking.

And the Great Vizier beside him, the true ruler of the Ottoman Empire, has been silent all the time.

Among the kings, Louis XIV was the most afraid of Vizier. The strength of the Ottoman Empire was second only to France, and the beliefs of these people were very different from those of Europe, and the threat was second only to the Ming Dynasty...

Although Vizier, the immortal, was behind the scenes, his family was based on martial arts and dominated the continent for more than ten years. Among the coalition princes and princes, Louis XIV has always been worried about him.

Vizier seemed to be old and difficult year by year, but even though he never died, Louis XIV's inner vigilance never went. At this time, he said lightly: "Koplulu, tell me, how to fight this battle."

Great Vizier slowly opened his slightly closed eyes and said slowly: "As long as you take down the high ground, the Ming army will be defeated!"

Louis XIV nodded and did not comment. The key point of this battle was the victory high ground. It was like a big pliers, which severely clamped the road of the coalition forces' attack and prevented them from besieging the Ming army.

Everyone can see it, but how to fight? The core question of the coalition forces is, who will fight the main attack? How to distribute troops?

Then the generals of the coalition forces agreed and said that the Ming army occupied the terrain and its strength was insufficient at this time. If it was decided quickly, it would be necessary to seize the high ground in the middle.

Louis XIV listened calmly, then looked at Vizier with complicated eyes, hoping that he could express his opinion and draw some Ottoman troops as cannon fodder.

But Vizier looked at him and then closed his eyes slightly and continued to "doze off".

The other kings were not very interested in sending troops and were unwilling to be the first to be the first.

Louis XIV snorted, glanced at the kings coldly, and cursed a group of waste who had failed to do anything!

The biggest problem with the coalition forces is that their overall strength is stronger than that of the Ming army. They know how to fight and win, but they just don’t do it, for fear that they will suffer losses if they lose too many soldiers!
