The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 2707: The French fell for it!

Italy stays in the highlands outside the city of Milan.

"Hahaha..." Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli laughed happily when he saw the besieged city, with gray hair and hale and hearty spirit!

He said in Chinese to Lieutenant General Ma Jinzhong and other Chinese officers, Austrian officers, and Annanites, Japanese, Romanians, and Indians and other foreign defense officers and officers: "The Thirty Years War, the Catholic French treacherous, stood On the side of the Protestants, defeated us Catholic Austria and the Spaniards, and laughed at us Austrians for not being able to fight, the Holy Roman Empire is not right!"

When it comes to why Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli gained the trust of the emperor, an important reason is that at his age, he has learned super difficult Chinese, and his intonation is pure, it is Nanjing Mandarin!

Yan Changwu established the Nanhua Empire, and in order to show that he did not forget his roots, Nanjing Mandarin was used as the national language in the empire.

In the past, many Austrians and Chinese pagans took an uncooperative attitude, but the old marshal actively cooperated with the emperor, reassured people, and took the lead in learning Chinese.

"Hmph, today I'm going to let the French come and go!" The old marshal's eyes shot out deep hatred, like a raging fire, as if he wanted to burn the French army in the city ahead.

The French hate the Austrians for being emperors, and the Austrians hate the French for betraying their brothers!

In the eyes of the Austrians, France is the culprit that caused Europe to lose to the Ottoman Baotou and the Eastern pagans successively!

The Kingdom of France is powerful. In order to seize European hegemony, they stood in the wrong position during the Thirty Years' War in Europe, allowing Protestants to defeat Catholicism and severely defeating Catholicism. Otherwise, Catholicism would have more power to deal with it when it dominated Europe. The Baotou guys and the Chinese may not have caused Austria to fall.

Since you French can help Protestants, why can't we Austria stand on the side of the Chinese, and the Chinese treat Austria really well.

The Chinese brought new types of agriculture and industry to Austria, actively developed commerce, and rebuilt the Austrian army, giving the army a chance to take revenge and eat the proud Gallic chicken!

Now, there are a full 200,000 Austrian troops, all real regular troops and 100,000 South China troops (including 50,000 Chinese and 50,000 foreign defense personnel), launching an all-round attack on the more than 200,000 French troops!

To lure the enemy deep, even if Louis XIV flew in, he would not be able to save the besieged French army.

Seeing that the victory was in sight, all the generals congratulated Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli for his great success!

Ma Jinzhong said: "The success this time is due to the marshal's ingenious plan, which is similar to Lord Wu'an!"

He briefly introduced the Battle of Changping between Wu Anjun Bai Qi. Bai Qi was ordered to secretly rush to the front line of Qin and Zhao to take over as commander in chief, and then suddenly appeared and defeated the Zhao army.

As for the "Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli" who appeared in the Golden Hall of the Royal Theater in Vienna, he was just his substitute. In order to blacken the French, the Austrians did everything possible. A substitute was specially found. In fact, the old marshal has been staying in Italy very comfortably.

If there is no need for a substitute, the exhaustion of rushing from Vienna will make the old marshal overwhelmed.

Everyone praised that the old marshal had a high emotional intelligence. He said to the generals: "This time we can kill the French, relying on His Majesty's wise and martial arts, the whole army is prepared for war, and the Shenluo Empire has a powerful armed force." ; Second, rely on the bravery and obedience of the soldiers, as for me, without the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor, without your assistance, how can I win!"

He also learned the Chinese style of respecting the emperor. When talking about the emperor, he bowed his hands in vain to show respect, and said affirmatively: "Compared with the previous dynasty, it is indeed our luck that His Majesty the Emperor dared to hand over the command of the battlefield to us, so , we must seize this opportunity and make contributions for the emperor and the empire!"

Not to mention other people, even the Chinese deeply agree with his statement.

The so-called "generals are outside, the emperor's order is not accepted, in order to benefit the country" is purely a prank, just listen to it, if the generals really want to do this, the monarch will be jealous at least, and their lives will be at stake.

For any decent monarch, loyalty and obedience are the first priority in employing people, and then talent and virtue. If a general does not listen to the monarch and acts on his own, even if he wins, he will not have the chance to lead the army next time.

In particular, Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli, as a foreign general, commanded 300,000 troops, and the military order he received was "everything is based on victory, and the command of the front line belongs to Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli." !"

Although there is Ma Jinzhong, the supervisor of the army, he did not interfere with the old marshal's marching formation, and even suppressed the Chinese and foreign defense personnel to obey orders for the old marshal, so today's victory is in sight!

Compared with the joy and encouragement of the soldiers of the Shenluo Empire, the besieged French army was panicked.

They rushed into the city of Milan, but found that the city was empty, with neither supplies nor many people, and only old people who could not walk were left behind.

The Shenluo army outside rushed over and made dumplings for the French army.

What is abominable is that the Shenluo army suddenly killed them. They attacked fiercely. Muskets, artillery, bows and arrows, bombs, tubes, and even catapults came one after another, knocking down the French army. The flag, when I heard that he was in the army, the French army panicked, all the troops outside the city were scattered and defeated, and the French army who fled into the city found that there was no luggage and artillery!

Nearly 100,000 troops poured into the city of Milan. After a while of shock, they found that the enemy had built a long fence (that is, a wall + trench) outside the city, and bombarded the city with heavy artillery and catapults.

The iron bombs, stone bombs, bombs, gas bombs, and oil bombs fired caused casualties to the French army. In fact, not many people were killed, but the French army was even more confused.

Chewing dry food, they were driven by the officers to defend the city wall. Looking at the majestic Shinra army outside the city, they couldn't help complaining.

Isn't it good to stay in the fortress well, why come here to send s?

Blame Lieutenant General Bierthe Balzac!

Lieutenant General Biert Balzac listened to the report of the situation by his officers with a dull face~lightnovelpub.net~.

His brigade has a total of 150,000 people, and now less than 100,000 people have entered the city, and the rest have disappeared.

The troops entering the city were not much better. They had no supplies and heavy artillery, only muskets and a small amount of ammunition, as well as food for tomorrow—general soldiers carried two days' worth of food, which was sent out before marching this morning, and there was no time to replenish it.

Another problem is that the water source in the city has been cut off. There are wells and springs in the city, but the wells are filled with mud and sand, and the springs are blocked so that no water flows out.

Nowadays, there is at most one jug of water per person, which cannot last for a long time.

There were no people in the city and no supplies.

This being the case, the officer asked Lieutenant General Birth Balzac what to do?

He hoarsely said: "Reorganize the troops today, and break out early tomorrow morning!" 2084/10092422
