"I haven't seen it, but I still think it's risky to take on an army that doesn't know the details. We should withdraw to www.biquge.info the north with the main force and give up this place to the enemy. Last night's temptation also proved my judgment, the enemy's muskets are more powerful than ours, and we cannot take advantage of them. "Lord Jiang no longer has the pride he had when he pursued the Karl whaling ship, and these days have made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness. Although he has done his best to manage the new fleet and army, compared to the Hong Emperor on the other side, he is several grades worse. Lost more than half of the main forces at sea in the alliance, and even didn't touch the hair of the opponent's ship, and the only loss caused to the enemy was that the enemy fired a lot of more shells, not in vain, all of them fell on their own warships.

To be precise, Lord Jiang was not prepared for Emperor Hong's face-to-face confrontation, he learned all his skills from the Navigation School, the Imperial Shipyard and the Imperial Metal Group Factory, which means that he was a student of Emperor Hong. Although the emperor is old, his creativity has not diminished at all, and the Seawolf-class battleships, extended naval guns, and muskets are all very lethal weapons. So far, he doesn't dare to say that he has learned everything, God knows what else this emperor will come up with.

When he was in Jinhe City, he had also heard that Qi Zu and Wen Xiaoqi were working on newer equipment. It's a pity that these two are not accessible to them casually, and under the strict secrecy system, even if they have the permission of the emperor, it is difficult for them not to have conspicuous access to these secrets. Not in any other way, those ubiquitous agents of the Ministry of Supervision will appear in front of them every minute. Weng Xiaoyi is a lesson, if he hadn't been very cautious and never showed up, maybe among the people who hanged himself on the dock, there would have been one more corpse of his own.

It was precisely because of this incident that he had to end his hidden life in Jinhe Country ahead of schedule, secretly got on the ship of the family maritime merchant, and ran to the Great Food Country. Then through the protection of the caravan, he came to Europe, and met Jiang Zhuyi, the sister of the legendary woman of Emperor Hong.

For this sister who was mixed with the enemy who killed her father, she resolutely did not intend to admit it, not only did she not admit it, but she also made this pair of dog men and women pay the price! But no matter whether Hong Tao or Jiang Zhuyi, in Europe, it is not something that a small oriental businessman like himself can approach casually, how can he take revenge? After much deliberation and a careful study of the situation in Europe, an elaborate and vast plan for revenge was conceived. So there was the beginning of Mao Sui's self-recommendation to build warships and cast cannons for the Duke of Saxony. After gaining the trust of the duke, he encouraged the duke to persuade the other nobles to establish this Flemish Hansea.

According to his own plan, when the Flemish Hansa used the sea power to control the maritime trade in Europe, he could start to attack Jiang Zhuyi's business in Europe, and Friedrich II would not be able to protect her at that time.

Emperor Hong's theory of using economic interests to unite others to serve him should have learned it and knew how to do it. In fact, his plan did work well in the first few years, and he soon unified the maritime trade of Northwest Europe, and he would also receive a formal title of nobility. In this way, he will become a nobleman recognized by European countries, and with his own fiefdom, he will develop more smoothly in the future.

But what he didn't expect was that the old emperor, who had abdicated, would actually run to Europe with a fleet to help Carl deal with him. This is a point that I did not expect in my plan, and it is also a very crucial point. Even if he finally wants to seek revenge on this father-killing enemy, it will only be done slowly after defeating his own sister and disintegrating Emperor Hong's power in Europe.

If it was exposed too early and aroused the emperor's suspicions, then the plan was likely to be aborted, which was the main reason why he immediately proposed to the Duke of Saxony to withdraw his troops when he heard that his opponent was Emperor Hong. As long as Emperor Hong does not discover the truth of this matter, he will have hope to rise again in the future.

He had never underestimated this Emperor Hong, and he never thought that he could kill the East with a hundred and ten warships, and he would not do it until he was completely sure that he could defeat the Royal Navy.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the change, and a few small whaling ships provoked the old emperor and completely disrupted his plan. What made me even more chilled was that the battleships and cannons brought by Emperor Hong had been updated, and my own little thing was backward again. Even if he can escape this catastrophe, the matter of revenge will be postponed indefinitely, until he returns to the Golden River Empire, learns these new technologies, and can not reopen them until he actually builds them.

Therefore, I hope that the dukes and counts of Flanders and Hanseatic will not confront Emperor Hong's army head-on, try to minimize losses, even if they bow their heads and admit defeat first, they will have to fool Emperor Hong's fleet away. This Emperor Hong's combat habits have been learned by himself since he was a child, he has never fought a war that cannot be won, as long as he takes the initiative to provoke a war, it must have been calculated clearly, and it cannot be said that he will win 100 percent, and he will not come if the victory rate is less than 90 percent.

It is a pity that the dukes and counts of Flanders and Hanseasa did not take their advice, and they did not know their plans. These European nobles, who had too little knowledge, actually wanted to move back to a city in land warfare, so as to offset the losses at sea. This idea is too naïve, Emperor Hong has landed with his army, what does this mean? It shows that he is 100% sure of victory, otherwise this emperor who is extremely afraid of death will never abandon the ship to fight ashore, this situation has not appeared in the combat case analysis class in the navigation school, this is the first time!

"Lord Jiang, I'm afraid you're frightened by your former emperor, so let's go and rest. You can see the contribution you have made in naval warfare, land warfare is not your forte, many of you present are experienced commanders, let them retreat without a fight, not only will make the enemy laugh, but also make their family honor suffer a great loss. The Duke of Saxony did not speak to Lord Jiang again this time, although he did not directly accuse, but there was some unhappiness in his words.

"Since the Duke is not leaving, then I will stay here and advance and retreat with the Duke......" Lord Jiang looked down on the stinky attention of the European nobles. War is war, victory is the first purpose, why do you have to mix so many bits and pieces. These nobles are not to mention that their weapons and equipment and tactical concepts are more backward than Emperor Hong, even if they are all the same, just these habits, the Europeans will never be able to defeat the imperial army that wants nothing and looks extremely shameless. It's just that these words can only be kept in the heart, and they can't be spoken, and they have to accompany these people to death.

"They've changed formations! What's to be done? Do you want the cavalry to charge? The Duke of Brittany did not participate in the discussion of this topic, and he had been standing at the window with a telescope and carefully observing the movements of the small army in the distance, when he noticed an anomaly.

"Such a thin battle line is indeed a good time to take advantage of the speed of the cavalry, please give the order of the Duke, the Brabant cavalry is willing to obey the command of the lord." When it came to land warfare, several dukes were no longer confused, and they didn't need to ask Lord Jiang's opinion anymore, they themselves had experienced many wars, and most of them were more experienced than Hong Tao.

"......" Lord Jiang also raised his binoculars and leaned over to the window to look, originally wanting to express his own opinions, dissuade the two dukes from rashly dispatching the main cavalry, and send a small number of cavalry to test the temptation first, but the Duke of Saxony beside him stopped him with his eyes.

These cavalrymen, shieldmen, spearmen, and archers were mostly part of the nearby dukedoms and counties, and the Duke of Saxony had a sphere of influence further north, and this time he came to Berhenopzom with only a fleet and a small number of guards. Now that the fleet is in ashes, any more interference in the command of others will cause unnecessary disputes and no point. Even if the other princes handed over the command, they themselves could not command these knights and soldiers. (To be continued.) )
