Przemyshl is not a difficult battle at all, and it is precisely because of this that Zhu Zhanyan chose to test Qian Zhong here.

The siege that began in the ugly time had already ended just after the Yin period, which means that it took an hour before and after, which also included the time wasted in order to train Qian Zhong in the early stage.

Halfway through the hour.

Winter is always a lot shorter, and at the same time, in the summer, I feel a little hot, but in the winter it is just when the sun is rising.

The originally stable biological clock was disturbed by last night's siege, causing Zhu Zhanyan to get up a little late today.

But that's just compared to what he usually does.

"Huh?"

Zhu Zhanyan, who walked out of the camp, was still enjoying the tightness brought by the dry winter weather to his freshly washed face, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the two people.

One is Qian Zhong and the other is Fan Zhong.

"I've seen His Royal Highness!"

Originally, Fan Zhong was leaning on the wheel of a car transporting supplies, looking at Qian Zhong standing at the gate of the wounded barracks with interest, but Zhu Zhanyu's sudden appearance made him a little flustered.

"How long?" Zhu Zhanyan did not respond to Fan Zhong's salute, but instead bowed his chin in the direction of Qian Zhong.

"Back to His Royal Highness, it's been all night." Fan Zhong turned his head to look at Qian Zhong, then lowered his head, took two steps back, and stood behind Zhu Zhanyan.

"All night?" Zhu Zhanyan smiled when he heard this.

can have such a reaction, which shows that Qian Zhong is at least a malleable talent.

Last night, his performance was unsatisfactory, and when he went to the battlefield for the first time, he completely forgot what his identity was, and only cared about experiencing the heartiness of the battlefield, which resulted in no one commanding the soldiers under his command, and more than half of them were lost.

However, today's reaction proves that Qian Zhong at least has the initial qualities of becoming a general.

Although this quality does not need to be carried out throughout your entire life, it is important in the early days.

"Go back and take someone to dispose of the bones of the fallen soldiers."

Zhu Zhanyan turned to leave, and at the same time gave Fan Zhong an order without looking back.

"Yes......"

Fan Zhong's voice was not very firm, because he was more or less jealous in his heart.

Disposing of the bones of fallen soldiers is not a big deal, and it is very common in this kind of expeditionary war, after all, you can't go around with the bones of fallen soldiers.

Zhu Zhan's expedition has been handled very well in this regard, and every time the remains of the fallen soldiers will be collected, and then sent away through logistics supply troops, although all the fallen soldiers have not been brought home, but it can be said that more than ninety percent of them have been achieved.

However, this time deep into the hinterland of the European continent, the supply line was quite long, and most of the soldiers lost in the siege last night were Ah San, so it stands to reason that they should be buried in a centralized manner and a grave monument should be erected.

But when Zhu Zhanyan said this, he obviously wanted to transport these bones away, which was undoubtedly another stimulus to Qian Zhong after last night.

This kind of stimulation can greatly promote his growth.

"Report!"

Fan Zhong was still immersed in his jealousy and did not move, Qian Zhong was still standing at the door of the wounded barracks, Zhu Zhanyan had not returned to his camp tent, and the voice of the herald made the three of them turn back at the same time.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, Wang Jinghong commanded the envoy to deliver good news!"

The voice of the herald could not resound throughout the entire Ming army camp, but it still made many people poke their heads out in unison.

Zhu Zhanyan grabbed the secret report in the herald's hand and opened it directly to read it.

The content in it is very simple, Jian Xiao led his troops back to the territory of Black Ross to relieve the pressure on Zhu Sanfeng, while Wang Jinghong led people south to take Bidrakov.

As the general of the treasure fleet, he may not be very good at commanding wars on land, but Wang Jinghong is professional when playing artillery, because at sea, the main means of confrontation is artillery.

After a day and a night of siege, Wang Jinghong successfully captured Pidrakov.

The reason why it took so long was not to say how difficult it was to fight Petrakev, but because Wang Jinghong adopted the method of killing everything.

Besieging the entire city, suppressing and persecuting it through fire oil bombs and white phosphorus eggs, Wang Jinghong can be regarded as the only feat of destroying the entire city and everyone in the city since Zhu Zhan's expedition to the west.

Probably only under the suppression of oil bombs and white phosphorous eggs can this be done.

After reading the secret report, Zhu Zhanyan raised his head and looked at Qian Zhong, who was looking at him with a blank eye.

"Pass the order, rest and recuperate, and set off at noon!"

Zhu Zhanyan turned around and walked towards his camp, the secret report in his hand was thrown into the air, and slowly fell towards the ground.

Everyone watched Zhu Zhan Yan leave, but when Zhu Zhan Yan's back disappeared at the door of the tent, everyone rushed over in unison.

However, everyone looked at the secret report that was flipped on the ground, but no one dared to make the first move.

As if they had all thought of something, everyone raised their heads and looked at Qian Zhong, who was still standing at the door of the wounded barracks.

……

Sandomierz.

The victories of the Ming army in the battlefields of Eastern Europe were far more than what Zhu Zhanyan had obtained from intelligence.

As far as Zhu Zhanqi knows, the south and north of the Kingdom of Poland have been taken at present, but in fact, Sandomierz, west of Krakow, has also been taken by Qian Yong.

Since then, the Kingdom of Poland has been completely destroyed, more than two-thirds of the territory has been ravaged by the Ming army, only the northernmost region of Greater Poland and the capital Krakow still survive.

"General Qian, what are we going to do next?"

After cleaning up Sandomier, the prince guards who were in charge of Qian Yong's safety came to Qian Yong's side.

From bottom to top, from south to north, all the way down the Danube Plain, a third of the territory of the Kingdom of Poland was cut through, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

But again, everyone muttered at this time.

Is it to continue north? Or turn west and go to Krakow?

There seems to be only one answer to this question, and there is no need to hesitate at all.

However, Qian Yong gave a second answer.

"Back to the defense." Qian Yong didn't raise his head, it seemed that this decision seemed to him to be the most common.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World went north, and we also took the area north of the Eastern Carpathians, and then we don't need to go further north, and we will defend along the Eastern Carpathians."

"If you go all the way to the west, you should be able to meet His Royal Highness the Prince smoothly."

"Yes!" Although he had doubts, the prince guard still took Qian Yong's order.

……

Gribskau, Kingdom of Denmark.

The Kingdom of Denmark is different from other countries, and generally speaking, no matter how large its territory is, as long as it is larger than the size of the island, most countries will have their capital on land.

But Denmark was different, and they set up their capital on the island of Zealand.

Although the area of this island is very large, reaching more than 7,000 square kilometers, the island is an island after all, and in the event of war, the disadvantages are obvious.

Supply lines can be cut off, friendly support can be intercepted, and even your escape path can be cut off.

Zheng He said he didn't understand this, but was shocked.

"Commander Zheng."

The prince escort who had set off with Zheng He walked into the cabin, still holding a secret report in his hand.

"The patrolling warships have found that a large number of ships are heading to the enemy's hometown, should we intervene to stop them?"

"Haven't you heard any news of the king's envoy?" Zheng He did not respond to the information that the prince's guards said, but asked about Wang Jinghong.

"Not yet." The prince guard was not annoyed, and shook his head in response to Zheng He's question.

"It seems that these ships heading for the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark are not their enemies, but on the contrary, they may have sent them out, and later, after receiving our news, they urgently ordered them to return to defense."

"It can be seen that there are only two possibilities for Wang Jinghong to command the envoy at present."

"First, the fleet of the king's envoy has all been buried in the Baltic Sea, but this possibility is not very large, according to what we have seen along the way, there should be no sea force here that can destroy the fleet commanded by the king."

"Then, the envoy of the king can only go deep into the Baltic Sea, or even go to the battlefield in Eastern Europe."

"Although I don't know why he disobeyed the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince and didn't cut off the English in the English Channel, but for now this is the only possibility."

Zheng He went abroad for a year and did not know the specific situation in Europe, but his ability to speculate was outstanding, and he speculated about what happened along the way.

"Then we'll ...... next" The prince guard looked up and looked at Zheng He, waiting for Zheng He to make a decision.

"For the time being, let's do this, harass the enemy, and exhaust the enemy."

"The enemy's sea power is not strong, and it is difficult to pose a threat to us, and if my guess is correct, then we can do so to suppress the enemy."

"If I'm wrong, then we can only stay here for the time being, after all, if even the fleet of the king's envoys is buried, it will be useless for us to go."

"Yes!"

……

With the departure of the prince's guard, Zheng He also walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

Actually, the reason why he stopped here is because the next strait to the Baltic Sea is a bit narrow, and if it is an ordinary fleet, it will definitely be no problem, and if it is a treasure fleet, it will be no problem.

But Zheng He's fleet can't.

In later generations, if the Indians are mentioned, many people may think of their tragic fate of being slaughtered, but in fact, few people know that the Indians are very strong, and even at the beginning of the European invasion of the Americas, the Indians made the Europeans suffer a big loss.

An ocean voyage is not the same as an expedition, and the supply of food and fresh water is easy to say, but if there is a loss of personnel, it is impossible to replenish it.

Therefore, when facing the Indians, Zheng He has always been cautious and careful, which leads to the fact that although he is going to open up a new continent, he has no shortage of ammunition at all.

On Zealand Island, he saw traces of Wang Jinghong's fleet fighting with the enemy, and also found traces of white phosphorus eggs, but he did not see the existence of treasure ships in any of the enemy's ports.

This shows that Wang Jinghong is the victor, because with the current maritime strength of Europe, there may be no one who will give up the treasure ship and not take it.

Therefore, Zheng He felt that he only needed to jam this strait and wait for Wang Jinghong's fleet to return.
