976 Cooking Wine on Heroes
As Emperor Chongzhen decided to be the war in Warsaw approaching, the number of troops in Warsaw is increasing.
The Ottoman army, a total of 80,000 infantry and cavalry had arrived. The Tsarist Russian army, a total of 20,000 infantry and cavalry had arrived. The other Ming vassal states gathered together, but there were only 20,000 troops. On the Ming army headquarters, Persian Governor Lu Xiangsheng led 30,000 cavalry with 30,000 troops. All the troops arrived, a total of 150,000 troops.
If it was just an ordinary war, then there were already a lot of 150,000 troops, and it could be said that 500,000 troops would scare the enemy.
However, at this time, the allied forces of European countries had arrived, including the Spanish army of 50,000, French army of 100,000, Dutch army of 30,000, Swedish army of 80,000, Austria, Czech Republic, etc., all of which were already more than 500,000. It is said that the British army was still coming, and all of them were combined, including the Polish headquarters with the largest number of troops, which could reach about 700,000.
There is definitely no way to station in Warsaw City, but it is just a fight. The army camped on the plains and confronted each other.
Among them, the armies of European countries use Warsaw City as a place to stockpile food and grass, and the troops are all on the east side of the city. Ten miles away is the garrison of the Ming coalition. They can see what each other is doing through a telescope?
However, despite this, the men and horses on both sides did not start the war like ordinary wars. They had to send scouts to block the battlefield, harass the enemy's rear, etc.
For the armies of European countries, although they have gathered most of their troops, their troops are also crushing the enemy on the other side. However, before the date comes, the more troops gathered here, the advantage will be greater. The most important thing is that the purpose of this battle is to defeat the Emperor of Ming, which is the most important thing.
Now, the Emperor of Ming has not arrived. If he launches an attack directly, it will be no difficulty to defeat the Ming army in front of him. What he is most afraid of is that the Emperor of Ming is afraid and retreats. Then, the coalition forces of European countries will attack eastward and the front line will be extended, and the logistical pressure will be very heavy. In this case, why not wait for the Emperor of Ming to come up and fight again?
Their thought was that the Ming coalition was much simpler. The emperor had the will and had no time to attack Warsaw, so who dared to fight? Besides, there were so many enemies on the other side, and now how could this little force take the initiative to attack? It would be better to wait until the Ming Emperor led the army to arrive before deciding with the enemy!
Never before in history, Ahmed, the Ottoman powerhouse, sat in the camp with Tsar Alexey, and drank and chatted together.
Seeing the guard pouring the cooked rice wine for them, Alexey smiled and said to Ahmed clumsyly using chopsticks to pick up food and eat it: "Have you seen the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" of the Ming Dynasty? I have read it three times, it's so beautiful!"
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was very popular in the Ming Dynasty, and even Jianlu could not let go. During the Ming Dynasty's military expedition, some people brought "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to the west. A large-scale war, a military general with great force, and a military advisor with great magical skills, were all very exciting, both in the civil and military battles. Needless to say, they conquered Westerners in an instant.
When Ahmed heard Alexey's words, he immediately became interested and replied, "I'm only halfway through it, and I'm almost at the Battle of Red Cliff."
At this time, they certainly knew the deeds of famous figures in the Ming Dynasty, so they could say so much.
It wasn't said that although Yan Yingyuan was not here, Ahmed did not dare to offend Yan Yingyuan, so he echoed and drank another drink. Then when it was his turn to say it, he was a little stuck.
The most famous commanders have said that they don’t know much about the Ming Dynasty next, so they can’t say anything more!
However, Ahmed's eyes rolled and he immediately said, "I protected the Princess of the Ming Dynasty and regained Lisbon, and defeated the joint fleets of European countries with fewer and more. Does the famous naval commander of the Ming Dynasty count?"
I don’t know much about Zheng Zhilong’s deeds, so he can only say that. Otherwise, the contributions to America would also be discussed.
After hearing this, Alexey wanted to remind him that there were no military generals in the Three Kingdoms, but he thought that he denied that Zheng Zhilong was a hero. What if it spread?
So he agreed and began to list the generals of the Ming Dynasty. Just like that, the two of them had drunk many cups, and they were a little drunk. Only then did they say that there was nothing to say, and then they turned the topic to the coalition forces of various European countries.
Therefore, they all mentioned the Great Conde, Tirena of France, Cromwell of Britain, Prince Rupert of the Sweden, and Carl Gustav of Sweden.
I won't be so polite to the enemy.
For example, when Ahmed, who was famous in the thirty years of religious war, was listed by Alexey, he was refuted without hesitation, saying that he was a traitor and lost French soldiers. He was the master who was defeated repeatedly.
For example, the current Swedish king Kargustav mentioned by Ahmed, even though he achieved a series of victories and annexed a lot of Tsarist Russia and Poland, Alexei was evaluated as an incompetent person standing on the shoulders of giants without hesitation. If it weren't for the foundation laid by Gustav II, just with that Kargustav, Alexei could fight three at one.
……………………
The guards next to them, listening to them defaming all the European celebrities to the point of being so decent. Most of them didn't see it this way. Everyone they mentioned was a famous existence and had enough solicitation to prove their excellence.
On the contrary, these two people who were already drunk had no record of making any moves. If these two people were not their masters, they would have despised their qualifications to comment on those famous people!
The rice wine felt nothing at first, but it had a lot of momentum. Therefore, after drinking it, both Alexei and Ahmed were drunk.
When they woke up the next day and learned about yesterday from their guards, they were already awake and looked at the endless camp of the enemy opposite, and they inevitably felt worried.
At this time, they could no longer deny the excellence of those people. Now, these outstanding people are concentrated in the opposite camp. The most important thing is that the troops on the opposite side are so huge!
No matter what aspect, the enemy is so powerful! It may not be so easy to win this battle!
