A military camp on the Western Front of Vienna, Europe. This military camp is located at the foot of a mountain. It is the time when the Alps usher in the most beautiful season of the year.
Looking up, you can see the blue sky and white clouds, the green mountains and green water, the birds flying in the sky, the clear and translucent river water, and the forest that stretches to the mountainside. Looking further up the mountainside, you can see the alpine pasture area, with lush green grass and a seemingly endless landscape. Straight into the sky, the white clouds seem to be within reach.
However, at this moment, only Deng Yong was in the mood to ride a horse and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Alps. As for everyone else, they were all in a hurry, looking extremely busy, and at the same time, their faces were sad and full of worries about the future.
On the vast land, there are endless military camps everywhere, with various flags fluttering in the wind, and teams of cavalry forming long snakes swimming on the land.
The chilling air permeated the sky and the earth, making the tired birds dare not come down to roost. However, it attracted countless vultures, which kept circling in the sky and emitted bursts of excited chirping sounds. Waiting to enjoy a great meal.
It is only fifty miles away from Vienna. The European Allied Forces blocked the front of the Ottoman Empire. With the addition of a large number of new troops, they began to gradually push the Ottoman Empire back. They were about to reach Vienna. A big battle was about to begin. staged.
Deng Yong is the commander-in-chief of the Ming Empire's navy stationed in Hong Kong. He is young and graduated from the Imperial Military Academy. The navy is a new military establishment. It was called the navy in the past. It has never been taken seriously by the court. However, since the Ming Empire continued Expand overseas.
During the military reform, Liu Jin, who was in charge of the reform, set up a separate navy with the same status as the army. Over the years, the size of the navy continued to expand. The Ming Dynasty set up a huge main fleet, with new additions added every year. of warships in service.
This also gave Deng Yong, naval officers who graduated from military academies, a lot of opportunities. He was young and was already the commander-in-chief of the Ming Navy in Western Europe when he was less than thirty years old.
This time, I also took the trouble to come to Vienna, the hinterland of Europe, from Hong Kong. The purpose was naturally to watch this battle.
Of course, this was also at the invitation of the King of Spain.
As a top graduate of the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy, even though he is in the navy, he still received complete and rigorous education and training in army command, and has the qualities a commander should have.
The King of Spain invited Deng Yong over, also hoping to get advice. After all, the Ming Dynasty¡¯s strong military strength is obvious to all. The key is that it also beat the Ottoman Empire severely.
"This is only fifty miles away from Vienna. The Ottoman Empire has gathered half a million troops here in Vienna. If this battle can be won, the European coalition can not only drive the Ottoman Empire out of Europe, but can even take advantage of the situation and invade Asia. Maybe we can even reach the Arabian Peninsula and recover their holy city."
Beside Deng Yong, a man wearing the uniform of a Ming army officer said.
His name is Xiong Han, and he is also a top student who graduated from the Imperial Military Academy. He is currently the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ming Empire¡¯s Army in Hong Kong. He is also very young and came here with Deng Yong to watch the decisive battle between the two sides.
"It's you, how will you command?"
Deng Yong nodded slightly, thought for a while and asked.
¡°Military exercises and scenarios are almost compulsory courses in military academies, especially as officers, this is what they must learn. Of course, there are always people who don¡¯t care about it on paper.
But if you can¡¯t even talk about it on paper, what qualifications do you have to be an officer and command an army? ãá minus . c o m ãá
"This battle still has many advantages for the European coalition. The first is the advantage in military strength. The entire European countries have gathered 700,000 troops here, while the Ottoman Empire only has 500,000."
¡°Secondly, the terrain of the European coalition forces is higher, and the Vienna area where the Ottoman Empire¡¯s army is stationed is lower and has a natural geographical advantage.¡±
"Furthermore, the Kingdom of Spain on the European Allied Forces side has an army that uses our Ming Dynasty weapons and equipment and has been trained by our Ming Dynasty officers. This is a sharp knife, enough to pierce the Ottoman Empire's army."
"If I were to take command, I would use a steady and steady approach to gradually consume the energy of the Ottoman Empire. Finally, I would use the 'Matador's Sword' corps in the hands of the Kingdom of Spain to tear open the Ottoman Empire's army in one fell swoop, and then defeat the Ottoman Empire. army."
Xiong Han and Deng Yong rode their horses to the top of a mountain and looked towardsOn the ground beneath their feet, hundreds of thousands of troops stretched continuously, extending to the end of the field of vision, like an open mouth, seeming to eat up the enemy in front of them. 牺如 tianlaixsw.com 牺如
"Your analysis makes sense~"
"But I think this battle may not be that simple."
"The European Allied Forces have elite regiments like Spain's 'Sword of the Matador', and the Ottoman Empire also has an army armed with our Ming Dynasty weapons and equipment. It is said that they are all musketeers, and they have shined on the battlefield several times. , and defeated the Knights Hospitallers." Mi He Mi
"The commander of the European coalition, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, will definitely not play it safe, because he is under pressure from European countries and must defeat the Ottoman Empire as soon as possible."
"With 700,000 troops here, the food consumed every day alone is a heavy burden for European countries. They must hope to defeat the Ottoman Empire as soon as possible and end the war."
"In the Ottoman Empire, Emperor Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire is a mature and prudent man. He will not let go of any opportunity. Once Maximilian I rushes in and he seizes the opportunity, the European coalition forces will have many possibilities. Advantages, but also high possibility of failure.¡±

Deng Yong thought about it carefully and expressed his opinion.
"But no matter what, the upcoming war will definitely cause heavy casualties."
"The two sides are no longer just fighting for land, but also a battle of faith."
"Faith is really a terrible thing. It can make the originally incompatible European countries unite to deal with the Ottoman Empire, and make Spain, England, France and other countries that were originally fighting fiercely stop their efforts."
Xiong Han nodded slightly and expressed his agreement, then looked at the continuous military camps below and could see the cross flags flying above the military camps.
It has not been a day or two since I came here. Xiong Han has seen many, many low-level soldiers of the European Allied Forces. Many soldiers are even extremely poor. They were supposed to be people who lived a hard life, but they came to the front line regardless of life and death. What keeps them going is the faith in their hearts.
I have also seen many aristocratic children, and I have even been friends with them, and have a good relationship with them. In Xiong Han's opinion, these aristocratic children could have stayed away from the war and lived in their own family's territory without worrying about food and clothing.
However, for the sake of their faith, they can bring their own weapons and equipment, war horses, and food, come here spontaneously, face powerful enemies, and defend their faith.
This is Europe, a completely different place There is everything completely different from the Ming Dynasty.
"Belief?"
"Yes, people need to have faith, just like we Ming people respect heaven and ancestors. For those who believe in religion, faith is their spiritual sustenance and cannot be blasphemed."
"I finally understand why the imperial court strictly prohibited foreign missionaries from preaching in our Ming Dynasty. This is really a terrible thing."
Deng Yong also let out a long sigh.
¡°Tap tap~ tap tap~¡±
Just as the two of them were overlooking the land and pointing out the country, a group of cavalry came over in a hurry on horseback.
¡°General, our great Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I would like to invite you to come over.¡±
The knight came to the two of them and said respectfully and politely. Daming's words were not bad.
"Okay~"
Deng Yong and Xiong Han looked at each other and followed the pair of cavalrymen to the European Allied Forces Central Camp on horseback.
Here in the Chinese army camp, there are many generals and high-ranking commanders from the entire European coalition, including the Duke of Colste and the Duke of Almeida from the Kingdom of Spain. Both of them are old friends of the Ming Dynasty. The famous God of War in the Kingdom of Spain has defeated the British and French coalition forces several times, and this time he is also an extremely important commander of the European coalition forces.
In addition, there are the Holy See, the King of Portugal, the King of England, and the commanders of the Teutonic Knights, the Knights Hospitaller, and the Principality of Waves-Lithuania.
Without exception, these commanders are all nobles, and all of them are big nobles. When the people in the whole room gathered together, they were filled with the smell of various perfumes and spices, mixed with the smell that they had not bathed for a long time. Accumulation of various flavors.
So much so that when Deng Yong and Xiong Han entered, they fell into a state of suffocation. Regarding this, they have always had a hard time getting used to it, and they can't understand why Europeans don't(remember this Website address: www.hlnovel.com)Heir.
