Chapter 217: Invitation

In contrast to the Northern Army's transmission of battlefield information through cumbersome fast horses, the teleportation scrolls of the Medenor people are thousands of times more convenient, although there is a distance limit to a certain extent, but it is far easier for a person to ride a horse and run like a dead dog. com

He saw from the message sent back by the right minister of Hue that Emperor Lê Thi was so excited that he stayed awake all night and wrote more than 20 poems in one night after hearing that the new army in the south had completely defeated the northern army more than six times the strength of the army in a few hundred miles north of Hue. Of course, the last one was rejected by the right minister, Nan Annan now has only more than 100,000 taels of silver in the treasury, and the emperor's inner treasury is only more than 30 taels of silver. It is Lao Tzu's money that is spent, and the new army trained by Lao Tzu is out, and you have to spend Lao Tzu's money to feast on the ministers, of course, the Maidno people will not let Emperor Li get his wish.

What made him feel even more interesting was that the more than 10 1628 rifles and more than a dozen rebels from the Shabak rebels started firing nearly 300 meters in advance when the Northern Army was still slowly advancing, and caused heavy casualties to the Northern Army, and the speed of shooting once made the Northern Army's queue lag. That's just a dozen rifles, what if it could be expanded to a hundred? Can it be expanded to include one infantry battalion soldier participating in the war? Wouldn't that be able to make the enemy rout before the two sides get closer?

Thinking of this, Russell couldn't help but touch his chin, and leaned on the back of the stool a little proudly, if he could really send this batch of weapons as soon as possible, the outcome of the entire battle between the north and the south would already be known.

However, contrary to her expectations, Miro was not as happy as she was, but his face was full of sadness. "Hey, what the hell is going on with you? Why are you still not happy that we won the battle? Jacqueline squeezed her eyebrows a little narrowly, "Is it because of the Minister of Commerce and Trade at the dinner just now?" Do you like her? ”

"Heavy losses?" Jacqueline glanced at Miro with some dissatisfaction, "We used an army of less than 2,000 people, or an army of Annan, to directly confront the Annan and Northern Rebellions of about 8,000 people, and only lost about 1,000 people, annihilated more than 3,000 people, and completely defeated it, this is already a complete victory." ”

"My Royal Highness, Princess......" Miro said this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and suddenly remembered something, and leaned forward softly and asked, "I suspect that someone in our room can overhear the conversation, shall we not speak so loudly?" ”

"I suggest we might as well go out for a walk, it shouldn't be so easy to overhear people talking in the crowd outside." Miro said and glanced out the window, where there were several soldiers in dark blue combat uniforms wandering around the front lawn of the guest house, their weapons with their hammers open, and at a glance they knew that they were ready to fire.

At the same time, there was a soft knock at the door, and Miro was about to walk over to open the door, but Jacqueline was nervous, "Could it be that they are here to arrest us?" ”

The enemy's land and hatred complex ball is troubled and lonely

"Okay," Miro nodded, closed the door, and walked towards Jacqueline, "Let me tell you why it's ridiculous, at the beginning of last year, we mobilized almost 100,000 troops from South Annan to attack the port of Champang, but in the end, these 100,000 troops did not even touch the edge of the port of Champang, but a fortress called Shabak to the west of the port of Champa was completely defeated, and the people not only wiped out about 10,000 combat troops, but also captured about 6,000 prisoners in the end. The reason why North Annan dared to attack the south on a large scale was all because this South Bank Army, which was known as the strongest in Annan, was completely defeated by the Chinese and lost its combat effectiveness. Do you know the casualties of your countrymen? ”

"Eight thousand?" Miro smiled bitterly, "The total strength of the Chinese in Shabak at that time was less than 2,000 people, and from the information we received, the reserve of at least 800 people in the battle was never put into battle. The most important point is that the battle was going on just as a typhoon was coming, and it was stormy and rainy......"

Hearing this, Jacqueline finally knew what Miro meant, the storm is the biggest enemy of the Medenor firearms unit, in the storm not only the arquebus or flintlock gun can not ignite the propellant of the barrel, but also directly affect the shooting accuracy and cause the target to be unable to hit close at hand. Although the Chinese said that there was a fortress to rely on, they used only 2,000 troops to resist 100,000 troops, which was far beyond Jacqueline's imagination.

The knot is far away, and Sun hates the lord of the cold moon of the war

The one standing at the door this time was not the maid before, but a male patriarch who was slightly taller and had a little dark skin, although this patriarch Miro had not dealt with much, but he still knew Xiao Jing, who had just "lightened" Her Royal Highness Princess Jacqueline at the dinner.

Of course, this set is playing the routines of the old world, if it is a girl from the old world, maybe he has successfully invited the girl out. But the woman in front of her is a woman in the new world, and she is a princess, it is seven or eight o'clock late, how can she go out with a man she just met? Or alone! If this man had bad intentions, it would not only be a disservice to the princess herself, but also a declaration of war against the country of Medeno, not to mention that the people had planned to go to war with Medenor.

Jacqueline suddenly got a sense of satisfaction that she had never felt before—as a woman, whether it was in Mednoyanin or in the Wu Dynasty Annan or any country, she was of a low status, and even if she was a princess, she only had a certain amount of power in her own small courtyard. On weekdays, when she meets her brother Brendan, she also has to bow her head to show respect, not to mention that in front of her father, she is simply an echo worm, and she must not make any disagreeing remarks about her father, otherwise she will definitely be punished.
