Outside the city of Vienna, there was a large camp of the Ming army, and the densely packed tents within a radius of hundreds of miles were like a vast ocean, countless in number.

I don't know how many helicopters are circling in the sky, and all kinds of ships in the river are like giant dragons shuttling back and forth, which is extremely spectacular.

There are also wooden chariots arranged neatly like a city wall, light chariots like a steel fortress, tens of thousands of war horses at every turn, etc., all of which demonstrate the unparalleled strength of the Ming army.

It is no exaggeration to say that such a lineup is already invincible at this time, and even if the Continental League gathers all the horses, it will not be able to stop them in the slightest.

The problem is, people ran away again.

The Holy Roman Empire didn't even want the capital, their emperor just left hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city and ran away without a trace!

Fortunately, there are hundreds of thousands of war horses from the Shenwu Battalion and the Black God Army. The navy's Spike warships are also unimpeded in the main and tributaries of the Danube River, and helicopters are even more comfortable. It can detect hundreds of thousands of miles.

Soon, they discovered that more than [-] enemy troops had gathered in Munich, more than [-] miles to the west, and several enemy troops were desperately rushing there.

At this moment, there are many generals in the huge tent, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Ma Xianglin, Sun Zushou, Zhang Cunren, Zu Dabi, Sun Quan, Xu Yunzhen, Bi Dengke and others are all gathered around the huge table All around, 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, it is very likely that Louis XIII and Duke Richelieu were also in Munich.

It is not difficult for them to take Munich. As long as an army of more than two million is overwhelmed, even if the enemy has tens of thousands of horses, it will not be able to hold back.

The question is, are they going to have a quick fight or wait until the enemies get together and then have a big fight.

Seeing that everyone was a little embarrassed to speak, Lu Xiangsheng simply asked: "Wen Zhao, Bian Jiao, do you think we should rush over now or wait?"

Uh, this.

The reason why everyone is embarrassed to speak is because there is no one who can call the shots here.

Although Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, and Cao Bianjiao are all commanders, they are all on the same level, and Ma Xianglin, Sun Zushou, and Zhang Cunren are not their subordinates.

Who can call the shots in this battle of millions of people?
Without the emperor, they really don't know who can call the shots.

Moreover, this place is too far away from Lisbon, even if they send the dragon battleship to ask for instructions, it will take more than ten days.

How to do it?

Cao Bianjiao thought about it, but still asked: "Shaotang, Yunzhen, Dengke, what do you think?"

Ugh, you ask us!

Sun Quan, Xu Yunzhen and Bi Dengke looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know what to say.

They are just staff generals, not even generals, can they make decisions about this kind of thing?
Question, it is not a solution for everyone to keep asking.

Sun Quan thought for a while, and said simply: "Yunzhen, Deng Ke, this time you are equivalent to the imperial envoys sent by the emperor. What do you think, according to the emperor's wishes, how should we fight?"

Bi Dengke looked at Xu Yunzhen very simply. …

There's no way, he studies weapons and equipment, and Xu Yunzhen doesn't understand strategy and tactics yet.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Xu Yunzhen could only say helplessly: "Well, the emperor's intention is very clear, that is to scare them and make them beg for peace.

I don't think they would be so scared to make peace if they just rushed to take Munich.

Because this time is tantamount to the final decisive battle, they also know that once they give up resistance and seek peace, there will be no hope in the future.

They certainly won't give up so easily.

The problem, our time is limited, the emperor means, we still have to fight to end the battle before winter comes.

If we keep chasing after them, it may be difficult to accomplish this goal.

So, I think, we'd better wait until they gather all the people they can muster, and then rush over and knock them all down in one fell swoop before they will be afraid, and they will be scared to make peace. "

When Cao Bianjiao heard the words, he nodded again and again and said: "Well, what Yunzhen said makes sense, if it's according to the emperor's wishes, we'd better complete our merits in one battle, and for this battle, they will directly fight for peace."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded again and again and said: "Well, this is indeed a rare opportunity. If we can take advantage of the time when they gather, spread out a huge encirclement circle, surround them and beat them fiercely, they will probably be frightened and ask for peace." gone."

Cao Wenzhao also nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, we will surround and beat them, make them desperate, make them unable to escape, and only in this way can we force them to surrender."

The opinions of the three commanders are unified, and the next step will be easy.

As for the specific tactics, that is trivial to them.

Lu Xiangsheng stared at the map and thought carefully, then said decisively: "How about we divide into three groups and encircle from three directions, east, west, north, what do you think?"

To the south is the huge Alps, which must not be overturned, and it is almost enough to surround the east, west, north, and three sides.

Cao Wenzhao nodded slightly and said: "Okay, Jiandou, don't be too polite, just assign tasks directly, we are all warriors, and our strategies are not as good as yours."

Well, among the generals present, he is indeed the only one who has a serious Jinshi background, and the others are basically military generals.

It would be meaningless to give way at this time.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded slightly, and said modestly: "That's fine, I'll make a fool of myself."

He directly stretched out his finger and swipe on the map, explaining: "We want to enclose the troops that the enemy has rushed to support, and the encirclement must be at least five hundred miles.

And there are no navigable rivers near Munich, so we have to go overland.

Therefore, the farthest west is best to use cavalry, and the north is also far away. It is best to use chariot soldiers. It won't take a few days. "

When Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao heard the words, they both nodded slightly in agreement.

Lu Xiangsheng then asked: "Xianglin, how many cavalry and artillery can you deploy?"

Hearing this, Ma Xianglin first discussed with Sun Zushou and Zhang Cunren in a low voice, and then introduced in detail: "In fact, the 150 million horses in the Kingdom of West Africa and the Kingdom of East Africa can be used as chariot soldiers.  …

If separated, about 50 cavalry can be drawn.

There are two kinds of artillery vehicles of the Black God Army, one is a field artillery vehicle of [-] jin, this time we brought [-], and the other is a [-] jin city defense artillery and a separate artillery vehicle. We brought [-] sets, which is also [-] vehicles. "

Lu Xiangsheng nodded slightly, and then said decisively: "Wen Zhao, why don't you and Xianglin lead 40 cavalry from the Shenwu Battalion and 50 cavalry from the Black God Army to the west road, and bring [-] Thor cannons and [-] two hundred cavalry?" Jin's field artillery, surrounded directly from outside the encirclement circle."

Cao Wenzhao nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, no problem."

Lu Xiangsheng then made another arrangement: "Bian Jiao, how about you, Zu Shou, and Cun Ren lead 100 million chariot soldiers of the Black God Army and their remaining artillery to the north route, go around in a circular arc, and then spread out."

Cao Bianjiao also nodded without hesitation: "Okay, no problem."

Lu Xiangsheng then made arrangements: "Hong Kui, you will lead the navy to guard the rear here and transfer food, supplies, ammunition for us.

You see, the upper reaches of the Danube coincide almost with the periphery of our encirclement.

Although its upstream cannot navigate a large ship of [-] materials, there is no problem for the Spike warship to sail there.

You just use the Spike warship to transport the grain, grass, supplies and ammunition there. "

Zheng Hongkui hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I will understand in the end."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded slightly, then pointed to the map and explained in detail: "Tomorrow morning I will set off with the remaining 50 infantry of the Shenji Battalion to attract people's attention.

Wenzhao and Bianjiao, you don’t have to rush and it’s not too late to start the day after tomorrow. Anyway, I can only advance about fifty miles a day at most, and it will take at least half a month to reach Munich. You still have enough time to complete the encirclement. "

The Duke of Richelieu never thought that his decision to retreat to Munich was to dig a huge hole for himself.

He didn't even know that the elite of the Ming army had already rushed over from the east coast of the Black Sea.

Because the Shenwu Battalion and the Black God Army had too many cavalry, the scouts they sent couldn't get close to the Ming Army's camp within a hundred miles.

He just felt that the terrain near Munich was very suitable for defense, and there were still about 50 troops they could mobilize from France and the Holy Roman Empire.

With so many people and the fortresses along the way, he felt that it would not be a problem to guard until winter.

As long as it is winter, the Ming army will not be able to attack.

Lu Xiangsheng also roughly guessed their psychology, so he was not in a hurry when he led the army forward.

Every day, he would advance forty or fifty miles unhurriedly. It took six to seven days before he advanced to Mekelburg, which is more than [-] miles away from Munich.

Here is the first fortress between Vienna and Munich, and it is also the periphery of his preset encirclement.

When he got here, he even ordered his men to repair for a long time, and even pretended that the firepower was not enough, he directly transferred ten Aegis ships, and bombed Mekelburg with incendiary bombs and artillery shells. One day, this commanded the infantry to take the fort quite "difficultly".

He didn't even transfer the light infantry fighting vehicle, and the helicopter was hidden behind and never showed his face.

Anyway, they seem to be about the same fighting power as ordinary infantry in European countries, and there is nothing unusual about them. …

The reason why he pretended to be like this was naturally to avoid scaring the enemy and scaring away the enemy troops who were desperately gathering in Munich.

Because the main Danube River turned to the northwest after passing here, and the Danube tributary ships leading to Munich could not enter.

He created this illusion to make the enemy mistakenly think that he has limited land offensive means, and that without the help of naval warships, he can't push at all.

In this way, the enemy will not think about running away.

To be honest, Duke Richelieu really did not expect that the Ming Empire had many siege weapons but did not use them, and still pretended to be cowardly in front of him.

He really thought that the Ming army rushing over was just an ordinary army, and it couldn't move without the assistance of naval warships.

In this case, he naturally would not think of running away.

Not only did he not think about escaping, but he kept urging the reinforcements from all walks of life to speed up and gather around Munich.

Lu Xiangsheng slowly led his army forward for more than ten days, and finally arrived at Salzburg, an important town less than three hundred miles away from Munich.

At this time, both Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao have led their troops into position, the encirclement circle has been formed, and the enemy's reinforcements have also penetrated in. He can finally launch.

Salzburg is the most important fortress east of Munich. There are [-] Holy Roman Empire troops stationed here, and the nearby city and fortress can mobilize more than [-] troops to support them.

The Duke of Richelieu originally thought that the Ming army would not be able to retreat when they pushed here. As long as they guarded the front line of Salzburg, they could sit back and relax.

Who knew that Lu Xiangsheng suddenly pulled out all the siege weapons such as light infantry fighting vehicles, helicopters, Thor cannons, etc., and the kerosene tanks, gasoline tanks, rockets, and artillery shells rained down on Salzburg. .

The [-] defenders in the city were immediately engulfed in flames, and all the walls, towers, and forts were smashed to pieces. In less than a day, the Salzburg Fortress was breached, and less than [-] of the [-] defenders escaped. .

At this time, the Duke of Richelieu finally realized that something was wrong.

It's a pity that it's too late, the three directions of the east, west and north have been surrounded by Ming army groups, and even in the direction of the Alps in the south, there are strange steel fortresses flying in the sky, and they can't escape at all.

Lu Xiangsheng gave an order, and the army of more than two million people immediately began to shrink to the center.

Tens of thousands of cannons fired at once, and the shells were poured like money like crazy. Wherever someone resisted the sky, kerosene cans and gasoline cans would continue to drop, no matter the city or the fortress, it would instantly turn into a sea of ​​flames.

How can the Holy Roman Empire and the remaining 40 million people in France be able to resist this appalling attack?

In a few days, the three-way Ming army advanced to a position less than [-] miles away from Munich. The Ming army camps were densely packed within a radius of two to three hundred miles. The entire Munich was surrounded like an iron barrel.

At this time, it is impossible not to ask for peace. If the Ming army threw kerosene cans and gasoline cans into the city of Munich, they would be roasted to death if they were not burned to death!

Although they know that there is no hope after surrendering in this situation, but if they don't surrender, they will lose their future. If they don't surrender, they will die. It doesn't matter whether there is hope in the future!

The Holy Roman Empire and France were completely crushed, and the Duke of Richelieu had to send people out of the city to seek peace from the Ming army.
