173 The cornered Grand Duke of Lithuania
"Hongfu Heavenly King, Depei Heaven and Earth, Weizhen Huanyu, ancient and modern!
Hongfu Heavenly King, boundless mana, invincible, invincible!
The King of Blessing, the law drives the continent, the magic power is vast, and the mana is boundless!
Hongfu Heavenly King, Wencheng Wude, thousands of years, dominate the world!
…………”
Hong Tiancheng, who was sitting leisurely on a hundred sedan chairs, was dressed in delicate and luxurious oriental orthodox silk clothes, shaking his head while admiring the surrounding military appearance and natural scenery, while tasting the red wine in his hand, and kneeling beside him sat two carefully selected Lithuanian beauties kneading Hong Tiancheng's shoulders.
Two sturdy elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, like pine and cypress guards, stood straight on the hundred-person sedan chair, motionless like a mountain, like two statues, I don't know if the shock absorption stability of the hundred-person sedan chair is too good, or the chassis of the two heavenly king's guards is solid enough......
If you don't look around Hong Tiancheng and see the soldiers lining up around the hundred-person sedan chair, his appearance is no different from a well-known local nobleman who travels and plays, oh yes, the local nobles can't take the luxury of a hundred-person sedan chair, and the white European nobles prefer to ride a carriage and ride a well-blooded war horse to show their bravery.
Like Hong Tiancheng's salted fish-like imperial enjoyment, in this part of the European continent often loses prestige in the hearts of subordinate knights, in order to reduce some of the hardships of the marching journey and let themselves lose face in front of soldiers and loyal knights, the nobles of the European continent will never make such a loss-making transaction.
Only Hong Tiancheng, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who is greedy for enjoyment and does not worry about the loyalty of the soldiers under his command, will regard the march as a trip, and by the way, he also enjoys the maid's manual massage service and delicious food and wine, and listens to the uniform ...... of the soldiers Flattery!
Thousands of people don't wear sycophants, no matter how serious they are, they will not refuse the flattery of others, and they don't stretch out their hands and don't hit people with smiling faces because of this common sense.
This is like the 21st century to show off wealth and drive a luxury car, has become a human survival to satisfy vanity instinct, the vast majority of people are not exempt from vulgarity, this is also one of the root of human inferiority, and the primitive desire is the same, it cannot be eradicated, preventing human beings from showing off their wealth is like preventing human beings from having sex, it is not realistic at all.
Just as Hong Tiancheng was enjoying the warm 'sunbathing' and the comfortable life of delicious beauties, there was a sudden sound of gunshots like bursting beans in the distance, and there were vague wild shouts.
Hong Tiancheng, who was half-closed and enjoying life, subconsciously turned to the direction where the voice came from, but unfortunately, due to the size of the army, he only saw the figure of a large number of elite musketeers of the Taiping Army at the limit of his vision, and could not see the scene of the battle.
Fortunately, the sound of the battle came and went quickly, less than an hour passed, the chaotic gunfire had dissipated, and the chaotic sound had subsided, and it didn't take long for Zhao Remnant to ride a fast horse and roar, and climbed up the front stairs of the 100-person sedan chair.
Of course, it was under the condition that Hong Tiancheng nodded and instructed, after all, some military intelligence was not suitable to be said out loud for the palanquin drivers to hear.
Zhao Yan stood beside Hong Tiancheng on a hundred-person sedan chair like a small mobile palace, waved his hand and retreated to the white beautiful servant who was kneading Hong Tiancheng's shoulders, bowed down and whispered in Hong Tiancheng's ear: "Your Majesty the Heavenly King, just now a Lithuanian mob armed with thousands of people suddenly killed in the southeast, and it has been defeated by the peripheral troops of our army. ”
"Oh? Lithuanian mob armament again? This is already the first rabble of attacks since we came out of the city of Novogradok. Hong Tiancheng asked casually in a slightly lazy voice.
"Returning to His Majesty, this is the thirteenth time, as we approach the city of Vilno, the frequency of such ambushes is increasing, and the number of Lithuanian mob forces ambushed and the firearms they have are also increasing, but there is not much damage to our army, our army only needs two volleys to defeat these Lithuanian untouchables."
Zhao replied dutifully.
"13 times, is that Lithuanian Grand Duke Janusz Rajvir brainless? Or are there so many Lithuanians that the Taiping Army needs to reduce the population pressure for them? ”
Hong Tiancheng said in a sarcastic tone.
"Your Majesty, this behavior of Grand Duke Janush Rajvir shows that he has been cornered, and can only rely on the way to drive the untouchables to their deaths to consume the strength of our army, trying to add a little chance of victory to the defense of Vilno."
Zhao Yan echoed.
"Well, it seems that the Grand Duke Janush Rajvir has not yet found a strong reinforcement, and the fact that the Grand Duke Janush Rajvir is so desperate to hold the city of Vilno in a completely unfavorable situation shows the importance of the city of Vilno to the Lithuanian region." Hong Tiancheng paused for a moment and raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yan: "'Important' in all senses!"
Ordered, the vanguard army marched quickly, without affecting the combat effectiveness, in the shortest possible time, felt under the city of Vilno, all the enemies who intercepted and blocked along the way, all cleansed, we don't need prisoners! ”
"Your Majesty, do we need to let those Lithuanian nobles who have 'called' to follow the vanguard army together?"
"No need, those Lithuanian soldiers who were forced to come over were listless, and they didn't desert because their families were in the hands of the Lithuanian nobles who surrendered and were loyal to us, and letting them follow the forward army will inevitably greatly delay the march, anyway, the vanguard army is only blocking the retreat of Vilno City, and there is no task of storming, just let that group of Lithuanian soldiers go with the large army, and it is convenient for us to take care of it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Yan bowed down and saluted and was about to retreat from the sedan chair, when he was suddenly stopped by Hong Tiancheng.
"Zhao Yan, those captured prisoners of the defeated Lithuanian mob armed forces, it's okay to deal with them."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, that everything is going according to your instructions, and no one knows what happened to the Lithuanian mob captives, and we have secretly burned all the corpses to ashes."
"Well, you did a good job, this kind of large-scale massacre of prisoners can be concealed, and spreading it will only be bad and not good for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, we don't need to admit it, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom becomes the master of the Lithuanians, the history books will tell their children and grandchildren, who is the 'righteous' side, hehe."
Hong Tiancheng said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he remembered some interesting 'deeds' in the later life.
