As the time of the Battle of Warsaw set by Emperor Chongzhen was getting closer and closer, there were more and more troops here in Warsaw.

The Ottoman army, with a total of 80,000 foot cavalry, had arrived. The Tsarist Russian army, with a total of 20,000 foot cavalry, has arrived, and the other Ming vassal states, all together, only 20,000 horses. On the side of the headquarters of the Ming army, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Persia, led a cavalry army of 30,000 people. All the troops that arrived totaled 150,000 men.

If it was just an ordinary war, the 150,000 horses were already very many, and they could be called 500,000 horses to scare the enemy.

However, at this time, on the side of the allies in European countries, there were 50,000 Spanish troops, 100,000 French troops, 30,000 Dutch troops, 80,000 Swedish troops, Austria, the Czech Republic, and so on, all of which added up to more than 500,000. It is said that the British army is still coming, and all of them combined, including the Polish headquarters, which has the largest number of troops, can reach about 700,000.

The city of Warsaw must not be able to be stationed, anyway, it is an appointment. And the armies encamped on the plain and confronted each other.

Among them, the armies of European countries used the city of Warsaw as a place to hoard grain and grass, and the armies were all on the east side of the city. Ten miles away from here is the place where the Ming coalition army is stationed. Can each other see what each other is doing through a telescope?

However, despite this, the men and horses on both sides did not fight like ordinary battles, and scouts were sent to shield the battlefield, to harass the rear of the enemy army, and so on.

For the armies of the European countries, although they have gathered most of their men, they are also crushing the enemy on the opposite side in terms of strength. But before the date comes, there are more troops gathered here, and the advantage will be greater. The most important thing is that the purpose of this battle is to defeat the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, which is the most important thing.

Now, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom has not arrived, if he attacks directly, it will not be difficult to defeat the Ming army in front of him, and the most feared thing is that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is afraid and retreats. Then, if the coalition forces of European countries attack to the east, and the front is lengthened, the logistical pressure will be very heavy. In that case, why not wait for the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom to come up and fight again?

They think like this, but on the side of the Ming Alliance, it is much simpler. The emperor has a will, and the time to attack Warsaw has not been fought, who dares to fight? Besides, there are so many enemies on the opposite side, how can they take the initiative to attack with this little force? It's better to wait for the Ming Emperor to lead the army to arrive, and then fight the enemy!

For the first time in history, Ahmet, the ruler of the Ottoman Empire, sat in the tent with Tsar Alexei, drinking and chatting together.

Watching the guards pour the boiled rice wine for the two of them, Alexei smiled and said to Ahmed, who was clumsily eating vegetables with chopsticks: "Have you seen Daming's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? I've flipped it three times and it's so beautiful! ”

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very popular in Daming, including Jianyu, who can't put it down. During the Ming Dynasty's westward expedition, of course, some people brought "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to the west. Large-scale battles, military generals with superb military force, and clever military advisors, whether it is a civil or military fight, are all very exciting. Needless to say, it also conquered the Westerners at once.

As soon as Ahmet heard Alexei's words, his interest immediately increased, and he replied: "I have only seen half of it, and it is almost time for the Battle of Chibi. ”

"So, you've seen the heroes of the wine cook?" When Alexei heard this, he couldn't help but get excited immediately, and hurriedly said to Ahmet, "Now that the decisive battle between the East and the West is about to begin, why don't we two also have a hero to talk about, and look at this war that is destined to be injected into the annals of history, how many heroes and heroes can enter the eyes of you and me?" ”

Ahmed listened, looked at the wine in the glass, the side dishes on the table, turned his head to look outside, smelled the faint smell of war, then nodded and said: "It's really the right time, okay, that's good, you say one, I say one, take turns to see if we agree!" ”

If you want to be recognized by both of them at the same time, you can't really have many people. After all, the two of them, one was the ruler of the vast Ottoman Empire, and the other was also the emperor of the Tsarist Russian Empire, which dominated eastern Europe.

Ahmet is a little looking forward to it, I don't know if the heroes mentioned by Alexei can enter his own eyes! If it's not right, you can't go along with him!

"The first hero, I think, is to suppress the rebellion of the thieves, and to quell the rebellion, but also to sweep the countries of the South Seas, for the Ming Dynasty to make great achievements, and now sit in Persia Persian Governor Lu of the Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Ahmet was a little speechless, thinking if you were too good at sycophancy, and directly told the supreme commander of the camp, can I still deny this?

Although he thought so, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that Lu Xiangsheng was really very capable, and the things he did were definitely not something that ordinary people could do!

"Count, absolutely!" Ahmet immediately agreed, and even raised his glass and said, "Come, a toast to Lord Lu, the hero of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Alexei listened, smiled and raised a glass, toasted with him, and then waited for him to say that he was a hero.

"I want to say that he is a hero, a poor young man, but he can get ahead, suppress the rebellion of the thieves, not only put down the rebellion of Jianyu, but also sit in the Tianshan Mountains for several years, and use the Tianshan Mountains as the foundation to assist the emperor to destroy the Mughals, and he even won Samara in one fell swoop...... Mingwei Fort, the Turghut and Cossack departments that recovered the Volga River Valley, were named by the emperor as the Hongsan of Mingweihou! ”

Originally, he wanted to say about the Samara Fort and crush the army led by Alexei. However, when the word Samara was mentioned, he saw that Alexei's face changed, so he changed his words. After all, they are allies now, and the two of them are still drinking together, so it's not good to tear their faces.

Seriously, Alexei just wanted to add to Ahmet, saying that he had defeated the 200,000 Ottoman army led by your father. But when he heard Ahmed change his words, he didn't say anything.

Although part of Hong Chengchou's exploits are based on the conquest of Tsarist Russia, at this moment, he does not dare to deny that Hong Chengchou is not a hero. Otherwise, when Hong Chengchou's army arrived, if Ahmad told him about it, although he would not be condemned for this, he would definitely be wearing small shoes.

So, he raised his glass as Ahmed did before: "Yes, Lord Hong is definitely a hero, come, cheers to Lord Hong!" ”

After the toast, it was Alexey's turn again. He thought for a while, and then said: "There is another hero, who rose quickly, killed me with one stone, took Ceylon, assisted the emperor in destroying the Mughals, Persia, conquered the Arabian Peninsula, etc., and now the Persian Governor Lord Yan is a hero?" ”

At this time, of course, they all know about the deeds of famous people on the Ming side, so they can say so much.

didn't say anything, although Yan Yingyuan was not here, Ahmet didn't dare to offend Yan Yingyuan, so he echoed and drank another drink. Then when it was his turn to speak, he got a little stuck.

The most famous commanders have said that they don't know much about Da Ming next, so they can't say it anymore!

However, Ahmed's eyes rolled, and he immediately said: "Escorting the Daming Crown Princess, recapturing Lisbon, and winning the combined fleet of European countries with less, is it counted?" ”

I don't know much about Zheng Zhilong's deeds, so he can only say that. Otherwise, the credit for the Americas will have to be said.

Alexei listened to it and wanted to remind him that there were no generals in the Three Kingdoms, but if he denied that Zheng Zhilong was a hero, what if it was spread out?

So, he agreed, and then began to list the Ming generals, just like that, the two didn't know how many glasses they drank, and they were a little drunk, so they said that they had nothing to say, and then they turned the topic to the coalition forces of European countries.

As a result, France's Grand Condé and Tirrenne, as well as Britain's Cromwell, Prince Rupert, and Sweden's Carl Gustaf were all mentioned.

For the enemy, it will not be so polite.

For example, when Alexei listed the famous Condé in the Thirty Years' War of Religion, Ahmet did not hesitate to refute him, saying that he was a traitor, and that he was the master of repeated defeats because he had lost French soldiers.

Another example is the current king of Sweden, Carl Gustav, who was mentioned by Ahmet, even though he achieved a series of victories and annexed many territories of Tsarist Russia and Poland, Alexei did not hesitate to evaluate him as an incompetent person standing on the shoulders of giants. If it weren't for the foundation laid by Gustav II, with that Carl Gustav, he Alexei would have been able to hit three.

………………

The guards on the side, listening to the two of them degrading European celebrities to the fullest, most of them didn't see it that way. Each of the people they mentioned is a well-known existence, and there are enough recruits to prove their excellence.

On the contrary, it was the two who were already drunk, but they didn't have a record of making a move. These two people, if they weren't their own masters, would have to despise them for having the right to comment on those famous people!

Rice wine doesn't feel like much at first, but it has a lot of stamina. Therefore, after drinking, both Alexei and Ahmed were drunk.

When they woke up the next day, after learning about yesterday's events from their guards, they had already woken up, and they all looked at the enemy camp on the opposite side, and their hearts inevitably became worried.

At this time, they can't deny the excellence of those people anymore. And now, these excellent people are concentrated in the camp opposite. The most important thing is that the forces on the opposite side are so huge!

The enemy is so strong in every way! If you want to win this battle, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!

At this time, whether it was Alexei, Ahmet and others, they all pinned their hopes on the army led by Emperor Daming.
