As a contemporary pope, he is the spokesman of God in the world, the supreme leader of Catholicism, who governs tens of millions of believers of God, who spreads splendour, spreads doctrines, develops believers, and adjudicates religious affairs in the name of God!

These are his duties and responsibilities, and when it comes to faith in the Lord, Clement has never wavered, which is also nonsense, and if he can waver in his faith, then Clement will not be qualified to become the new Pope.

As the Pope, his faith in the Lord will only become more fanatical and calm, so he firmly believes that under God's guidance, the Crusaders will definitely win the final victory of the Battle of the Rhine, and the light of God will turn into flames, and the heretics of this land will be completely burned to ashes.

Fail? How could it fail? At least Clement never thought he would fail!

Because this is jihad! Holy War!

All over Europe, all believers in God are warriors of God, and they have millions of warriors who will die in battle to maintain God's rule!

And on the other side is just a mere 300,000 infidels!

Battle of Andorra?

That's not a holy war!

The reason why that war was lost so miserably was purely because of Charles V, the bastard, who had made it difficult for the enemy to resist because of the strong attack, but because it was dark, he gave up the attack, and finally gave the enemy a chance to attack at night, and then collapsed.

Clement knows that he is not a good military commander, but a qualified commander must be able to employ people, be able to listen to opinions, analyze gains and losses, and sum up experience, and then make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses in the next big war, so that the balance of victory and defeat in the war will slowly tilt to his side!

The success or failure of the Battle of Andorra, the estimation of the military strength of the Wu Dynasty, the study and imitation of the enemy's firearms, and how to arrange for a major war that could break out at any time, all these aspects were discussed countless times with the generals of the army after Clement succeeded to the Pope.

The conclusion is simple!

The Battle of Andorra failed because Charles V, as a commander, had terrible tactics and seriously underestimated the enemy's ability to fight.

And the thing that the enemy can fly into the sky, after nearly two years of painstaking research, Western Europe can already make it!

In Clement's view, if the military industry of Western Europe can approach or even level the gap between the military industry and the military industry of Dawu, then the crusaders have no reason to fail!

Because the Crusaders had a million servicemen and millions of believers as a reserve!

Fail? Inexistent!

As Zhu Houzhao said, the strategy set by the Crusaders is also very simple, when Dawu attacks, then the Crusaders will first take a defensive position, and then take out the long-range attack force of the Wu Dynasty army at all costs!

This battle will be a perfect match between air and land battles, and it will surely go down in history!

"Your Majesty, look!"

Crément looked over and saw dense black dots rising in the camp of the armed forces ten or twenty miles away!

"Here we go again!" Clement sneered and ordered, "Let our flying warriors go and compete with them!"

As soon as I gave the order, I saw that the thousands of black wooden boxes in the crusader array were immediately opened, and one by one the hot air balloons were taken out and opened, igniting the fuel and taking off directly into the air!

The first air battle in the history of feudal warfare was officially staged on the banks of the Rhine!

This is truly a war that is destined to go down in history!

Everyone knows how important air supremacy is in later wars, and today's Holy See is more sober than later generations!

Because of the fiasco in the Battle of Andorra, defeat was defeated by air raids!

It's not a shame to fall and get up, but if you fall twice in the same place, it's not a shame, it's stupid!

No one can describe the sky on the north bank of the Rhine River at this moment, because it is so spectacular, the military army and the crusaders combined more than 2,000 hot air balloons have risen into the sky, how spectacular the scene is, the people who do not know why will only think that this is a miracle, but for the soldiers of the two armies, there is nothing unusual at all, no other, used to it......

"Western Europeans aren't all stupid, either." Zhu Houzhao looked at the hot air balloon that rose into the air in the crusader camp and smashed his mouth: "If you can crack the hot air balloon, in this big battle, the Dawu army will not abuse vegetables."

In fact, there is nothing unusual, the hot air balloon is a super-large Kong Ming lantern to put it bluntly,

Chu Jia had risen into the air at this moment, looking at the enemy hot air balloon that had risen into the air opposite, and a cold glint burst out in his eyes!

European traitors have been exploring the development of Western Europe's military industry, and the Holy See ordered craftsmen to develop hot air balloons, so naturally they can't hide the eyes of European traitors.

Expect the enemy to be the first, in order to be invincible, this is the truth that is not easy for eternity, more wins, less wins, not invincible, but also the reason of the soldiers!

Western Europe thought that it could study and create a hot air balloon to offset the air superiority of the Dawu Dynasty, which was tantamount to a fool's dream!

You must know that Dawu's hot air balloon is processed with crocodile skin, and it has been manufactured through dozens of processes, such a hot air balloon is extremely strong, and ordinary swords may not be able to cut it, and it is almost a dream for ordinary feather arrows to break the defense.

In addition, there is a layer of fireproof coating on the surface of Wujun's hot air balloon sphere, which was not available before, which is still Zhu Houzhao learned that the Holy See specially asked craftsmen to develop the method after developing the hot air balloon, in order to be a rocket!

Almost everything that can be considered is taken into account, and the Crusader's hot air balloon is made of whale skin, this kind of hot air balloon is lighter, the movement speed is naturally faster, and the defense is actually not bad, but it is not at the same level as the special crocodile skin defense.

Of course, this is not to say that the hot air balloon after liftoff is invincible, the hot air balloon cannot be compared with the fighter, when the hot air balloon is lifted off, it is actually a mobile live target for ground long-range strike weapons!

The Crusader artillery had a maximum range of fifteen miles, and according to the law of trigonometry, the more distance a hot air balloon could dodge after liftoff, depending on the altitude at which it rose into the air.

But the hot air balloon is not for fun, their combat mission is to throw the oil clay pot in the basket into the enemy camp, so as to form a sea of fire and defeat the enemy!

If the connection can't be close, it's chicken ribs!

So now although the hot air balloons of the armed army and the crusaders have been lifted into the air, in fact, it is impossible for the two sides to start an air battle at such a long distance, unless the artillery positions of one side are completely destroyed, and there is no long-range attack by artillery, the hot air balloon has a chance to fly over the enemy!
