1058 Completely Get Down(1/2)
Outside Vienna, there was a large camp of Ming army, and the dense tents within a radius of hundreds of miles were like a vast ocean.
I don’t know how many helicopters are hovering in the sky, and all kinds of ships in the river are like giant dragons, extremely spectacular.
There are also wooden chariots arranged neatly like city walls, light chariots like steel fortresses, thousands of war horses at any time, etc., all of which show the unparalleled power of the Ming army.
It is no exaggeration to say that such a lineup is invincible at this time, and even if the European Union gathers all its troops, it will not stop them at all.
The problem is that they ran away again.
The Holy Roman Empire actually didn't even want the capital, and their emperor just left hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city and ran away without a trace!
Fortunately, the war horses of the Shenwu Camp and the Black God Army were hundreds of thousands, and the Wolf-toothed warships of the Navy were unobstructed in the main and tributaries of the Danube River, and helicopters could easily explore hundreds or thousands of miles.
Soon, they found that more than 100,000 enemy troops gathered in Munich, more than 800 miles to the west, and several enemy troops were rushing there desperately.
At this moment, the huge generals gathered in the tent of the generals. Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Ma Xianglin, Sun Zushou, Zhang Cunren, Zu Dabi, Sun Quan, Xu Yunzhen, Bi Dengke and others were all surrounded by a huge table, staring at the battle map in the middle.
The Holy Roman Emperor must have gone to Munich. Judging from the enemy troops gathered from all sides, Louis XIII and the Duke of Richelieu are likely to be in Munich.
It is not difficult for them to take down Munich. As long as they suppress the enemy, even if they have hundreds of thousands of troops, they cannot withstand it.
The question is, should they have a quick battle or wait for the enemies to gather together before a big battle.
Seeing that everyone was embarrassed to speak, Lu Xiangsheng simply asked, "Wenzhao, transformed into a dragon, do you think we are rushing over now or waiting?"
Uh, this one.
The reason why everyone is embarrassed to speak is that there is no one here who can make decisions.
Although Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, and Cao Bianjiao were all commanders, they were all equal-level, and Ma Xianglin, Sun Zushou, Zhang Cunren and others were not their subordinates.
Who can decide this kind of war between millions?
The emperor is not here, and they really don’t know who can make the decision.
Moreover, this place is too far from Lisbon, and it will take more than ten days for them to send a dragon warship to ask for instructions.
What to do?
Cao Bianjiao thought about it and asked, "Shaotang, Yunzhen, passed the imperial examination, what do you think?"
Uh, ask us!
Sun Quan, Xu Yunzhen and Bi Dengke, look at me, I look at you, I don’t know what to say.
They are just generals of staff, not even generals. Can they make decisions about such things?
Questions, it’s not a solution for everyone to ask them all this.
Sun Quan thought for a while and simply said, "Yunzhen, you are the same as the imperial envoy sent by the emperor this time. Do you think, according to the emperor's wishes, how should we fight?"
Bi Dengke looked at Xu Yunzhen very simply.
There is no way, he is a researcher in weapons and equipment, and he is not as good as Xu Yunzhen in strategy and tactics.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Xu Yunzhen could only say helplessly: "This, the emperor's meaning is very clear, that is, he wants to beat them to fear and make them seek peace.
I think if they just rushed over and took Munich, they might not be scared to ask for peace.
Because this time is equivalent to the final battle, they also know that once they give up resistance and seek peace, there will be no hope in the future.
They certainly wouldn't give up so easily.
The problem is that our time is limited, the emperor means that we must strive to end the battle before winter comes.
If we keep chasing them, it will probably be difficult to achieve this goal.
So, I think we still
When they assemble all the people they can gather, they rushed over and fucked them all down in one fell swoop and they would be afraid and they would be so scared that they would be so scared."
When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, Yunzhen's words make sense. If we follow the emperor's wishes, we would better be able to achieve our contributions in one battle. In this battle, we will directly fight them for peace."
Lu Xiangsheng also nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, this is indeed a rare opportunity. If we can take advantage of the time when they gather, unfold a huge encirclement and surround them in the middle and beat them up, they will probably be frightened to seek peace."
Cao Wenzhao nodded and agreed, "Yes, we will surround them and beat them to despair, so that they can't even escape, so that they can force them to surrender."
The three commanders have agreed on their opinions, so it will be easier to deal with.
As for the specific tactics, it's all a little bit for them.
Lu Xiangsheng stared at the map and thought about it carefully, then said decisively: "How about this, we will divide into three groups and encircle them from the east and west directions. What do you think?"
There are huge Alps to the south, so people will definitely not be able to cross over, so it will be almost the same as the three sides of the east and west.
Cao Wenzhao nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Jiandou, don't be polite. Just assign tasks. We are all martial artists, and our strategies are not as good as you."
Well, among the generals present, he is indeed the only one who is a serious Jinshi, and the others are basically all military generals.
It would be boring if you let it go again at this time.
Lu Xiangsheng nodded slightly and said modestly: "Okay, I'll be ugly."
He stretched out his finger and slid on the map, explaining: "We want to surround several groups of people who are coming to support the enemy. This encirclement can be at least 500 miles in radius.
There are no navigable rivers near Munich, we have to go by land.
Therefore, it is best to use cavalry on the farthest west, and the distance to the north is also relatively long, so it is best to use chariots. It doesn’t matter to the east. It takes two or three hundred miles from here to reach the periphery. It takes a few days for infantry to walk slowly over."
When Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao heard this, they both nodded slightly to show their agreement.
Lu Xiangsheng then asked, "Xianglin, how many cavalry can you draw, and how many cannon chariots are there?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Xianglin first discussed with Sun Zushou and Zhang Cunren for a few words, and then introduced in detail: "The 1.5 million troops and 1.5 million troops of the West African Kingdom and the East African Kingdom can be used as chariots and soldiers.
If separated, about 500,000 cavalry soldiers could be drawn.
There are two types of artillery vehicles of the Black God Army, one is a field artillery vehicle with a total of 200 kilograms. This time we brought 10,000 vehicles, and the other was a 500 kilogram city defense artillery and gun mount separate. This time we brought 5,000 units, which is also 10,000 vehicles."
Lu Xiangsheng nodded slightly, then said decisively: "Wenzhao, why don't you and Xianglin lead 400,000 Shenwu Camp cavalry and 500,000 Black God Army cavalry to the west, bring 5,000 Thunder God cannons and 10,000 200 kilograms of field cannons, and directly surround the encirclement."
Cao Wenzhao nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, no problem."
Lu Xiangsheng then arranged: "Bijiao, why don't you and Zu Shou, Cunren lead one million Black God Army soldiers and their remaining artillery to the north road, go around an arc and spread it out."
Cao Bianjiao nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, no problem."
Lu Xiangsheng then arranged, "Hongkui, you will lead the navy soldiers here to guard the rear and transport food, supplies and ammunition for us.
You see, the upper reaches of the Danube are exactly the same as the outer periphery of our encirclement.
Although there is no large ship with two thousand materials upstream, there is no problem for the Wolf-Tooth Warship to drive over.
Just use the wolf-tooth warship to transport the food, supplies and ammunition to the ship."
Zheng Hongkui hurriedly bowed and said, "I understand."
Lu Xiangsheng nodded slightly, then pointed to the map and explained in detail: "I will lead the remaining 500,000 Shenji Camp infantrymen to set off early tomorrow morning to attract people's attention.
Wenzhao, you don’t have to hurry to set off again the day after tomorrow
It's not too late. Anyway, I can only advance about fifty miles a day, and it will take at least half a month to arrive in Munich. You still have enough time to complete the encirclement."
The Duke of Richelieu had never expected that his decision to retreat to Munich was to dig a huge pit for himself.
He didn't even know that the elite Ming army had arrived from the east coast of the Black Sea.
Because there were too many cavalry in the Shenwu Camp and the Black God Army, the scouts they sent could not get close to the Ming Army camp for a hundred miles.
He just felt that the terrain near Munich was very suitable for defense, and that there were about 500,000 people who could mobilize from France and the Holy Roman Empire.
With so many people and the fortresses along the way, he felt that it would be no problem to stay until winter.
As long as winter comes, the Ming army can no longer attack.
Lu Xiangsheng also roughly guessed the other person's psychology, so he was not in a hurry when leading the army to advance.
Every day, he slowly advanced for about forty or fifty miles, and within six or seven days, he advanced to Merkel Fort, which was more than 500 miles away from Munich.
The first fortress between Vienna and Munich is also the outer perimeter of his preset encirclement.
When he arrived here, he even ordered his subordinates Matthew to fix it for most of the day, and pretended that there was insufficient firepower. He directly transferred ten ASCH ships, and bombed them at the Mekle Fort for a day. Only then did he command the infantry to take down the fortress with "hard" difficulty.
He didn't even transfer the light infantry fighting vehicle, and the helicopter was hidden behind without showing his face.
Anyway, they look similar to the combat effectiveness of ordinary infantrymen in continental countries, and there is nothing surprising.
The reason why he pretended like this was naturally to avoid alarming the enemy forces that had gathered in Munich.
Because the main trunk of the Danube River turned northwest after passing here, and the ships leading to Munich's tributary ships could not enter.
He created this illusion, just to make the enemy mistakenly think that his land attack methods were limited, and he could not push them without the help of the navy warships.
In this way, the enemy will not think about running away.
To be honest, Duke Richelieu did not expect that the Ming Empire had many powerful weapons to attack but did not use them, and he pretended to be cowardly in front of him.
He really thought that the Ming army rushing over was an ordinary army, and he could not push it without the assistance of the navy warships.
In this case, he naturally would not think about running away.
Not only did he not think about escaping, he also kept urging reinforcements from all walks of life to speed up and gather around Munich.
Lu Xiangsheng led his army to advance for more than ten days, and finally arrived at Salzburg, an important city less than 300 miles away from Munich.
