Daming Crazy Emperor

The Battle of Cairo was defeated, and the news quickly spread throughout the continent.

The reaction of the countries is beyond words.

Britain, Sweden, Denmark and the Ottoman Empire did not hesitate to call back their reinforcements.

Just kidding, France mobilized more than 40 sailing ships, more than [-] ships and warships, as well as [-] ironclad warships supported by Spain, and [-] troops, but they were still defeated. Did they rush over? Are you courting death?

Everyone was even a little gloating.

Isn't the old fox Duke Richelieu good at calculating, this time he finally dug a hole and buried himself!

If he didn't put Spain and the Holy Roman Empire to death, how could he be today?

This is all right, the French navy is basically abolished, and the 40 French troops blocked in East Africa are estimated to be hard to escape.

The strength of France can be said to have plummeted. If the old fox, the Duke of Richelieu, wants to deceive people in the future, he will have to weigh it carefully. If he gets angry, everyone will beat him together!
European countries have always had their own ulterior motives, even within the same alliance, they may plot against each other, or even turn their faces.

What they believe in is the law of the jungle. Everyone wants to be the king in the jungle. There is endless meat. Everyone wants to dominate the continent and rule the world.

Otherwise, Europe would not have fought again and again, and a fight would last for hundreds of years.

Felipe IV even praised Oquendo in a rare way: "Very good, this battle was fought very well."

What he meant was that Oquendo directly ruined all the sailing ships that France worked so hard to transform, and even those ships and warships controlled by France were almost ruined, directly making France lose the hope of maritime hegemony.

Moreover, they brought back all 40 French recruits, leaving Duke Richelieu with nothing to say.

The battle was really well fought.

The Duke of Richelieu had indeed nothing to say.

However, the old fox does not think that France is over.

Because he has sent a secret order to Turenne, once they do not recapture Cairo, Turenne will march southwest, through the grasslands and jungles of central Africa, and directly take the Portuguese West Africa controlled by Prince Condé, that is, Angola.

Angola is a good place. It is rich in copper and iron resources and densely covered with jungles. More importantly, it is the only source of rubber in the European Union.

As long as they control there, they will have enough resources to build ships and weapons, and even the countries of the European Continental Union require them, otherwise there will be no rubber to use!

The Prince of Condé was able to thrive by relying on rubber. He not only asked them for money and food, but even asked European countries to provide muskets and artillery.

This guy made it clear that he was spying on the king's position, and it happened that this time he got rid of this hidden danger together!
Turenne didn't actually want to go to Angola.

Because they want to be more than 1000 kilometers away from Angola from their current station, and more than 1000 kilometers are densely packed with tropical rainforest.

It is true that they got in touch with Prince Condé of Angola, but that was through river systems and forest trails. The colony they built was not really integrated with Angola. …

If he sent a small team of messengers to deliver the message, then of course there would be no problem.

However, it is really not an ordinary difficulty to pull an army of 40 to rush over.

On the upper reaches of the Nile, at the French army station on the edge of the tropical jungle, Turenne looked at the map in front of him and frowned.

Now it's the time agreed upon by the Duke of Richelieu, and there is still no news from the naval warships in the river to the north, but the black mercenaries have been slowly advancing towards them, and their living space is getting smaller and smaller If you don't leave, I'm afraid you will be surrounded by mercenaries here.

The problem, the thousand-kilometer tropical jungle really makes one's scalp tingle!

If he could, he even wanted to run all the way south, directly to the South African colony controlled by Britain, Sweden and Denmark.

However, the southeast direction is full of densely packed mountains, and it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to pass through.

If it doesn't work, you can only make a half-circle between the mountains and the tropical jungle, and go around.

In that case, they may have to circle hundreds of kilometers more, but it is better than being stuck in a dilemma in the tropical jungle.

His finger slid slowly on the map for a while before he said loudly: "You all come in."

Soon, several captains of the messengers filed in and stood in front of him respectfully.

Turenne didn't hesitate, and directly ordered: "Alfred, take someone to inform the naval warships in the middle and lower reaches of the Nile River, and let them find a way to break through."

Find a way to break through by yourself?
How to break out of the siege when the mouth of the Nile River is blocked?

This means leaving others alone!
Hearing this, Alfred was stunned for a moment, then decisively saluted: "Of course."

After speaking, he walked out quickly.

Turenne continued to order: "Chretien, take someone through the jungle to find Prince Condé, tell His Royal Highness that we will retreat to his territory, and ask him to prepare more food and store it on the edge of the jungle."

Sure enough, they are going to retreat.

When Chretien heard the words, he saluted without hesitation: "Obey."

After that, he also walked out quickly.

Turenne continued to order: "Edmund, Felix, let your men disperse and notify all the horses, let them bring all the food immediately, gather at the edge of the jungle in the southeast, and prepare to go."

This time, the whole of central and eastern Africa was in chaos.

Those warships on the Nile River were running around like headless chickens, and the 40 French army rushed south frantically like fleeing for their lives.

When Lin Chaojie received the report from the scouts, he immediately understood that the French army wanted to escape.

As for where they fled, he still didn't know.

At this time, he didn't have time to ask someone to ask for instructions, because if he didn't chase him, he couldn't catch up, and the cooked duck couldn't be let fly.

He immediately ordered a million troops to attack across the board, chasing south as fast as possible!

This time, the entire central and eastern part of Africa was in chaos like a pot of porridge. Within a thousand miles, there were frantically fleeing French troops and the Black God Army chasing them with all their might.

Naturally, a person with two legs cannot run with four legs, not to mention that the Black God Army has chariots.

Soon, the French army scattered in the far north was overtaken by the Black God Army. …

These French troops have long been panicked and embarrassed, so there is no fighting spirit.

Anyone who was caught up threw their weapons on the ground without hesitation, raised their hands and surrendered directly, without even calling out the Black God Army.

Turenne received the news that he didn't care about it and was caught by anyone, so he fled south frantically with the main force of the French army without turning his head.

Maybe it was because there were enemies chasing after them, or maybe they knew how many people had been killed during this period of crazy plundering of the indigenous people's food.

The main force of the French army ran and fled desperately as if they had taken medicine. They were able to escape for seventy or eighty miles every day in the rugged mountains and jungles!
And these people don't need to be urged, they run every morning as soon as they get up, very conscious.

I have to say, this is really a miracle.

Lin Chaojie was a bit dumbfounded when he led his army to the edge of the jungle, because the French army had already disappeared.

During this period of time, they captured many prisoners, but the total was less than 40. The total number of French troops was not [-] but [-]!
What about people?

He held up the binoculars and scanned the vast jungle in front of him, his brows couldn't help but frown deeper and deeper.

Obviously, the French were not running into the jungle, at least not into the jungle in front of him.

Because it is very clear through the telescope, there is no way for tens of thousands of people to escape in the jungle, and the whole jungle is densely packed with shrubs and branches, and there is no trace of being cut down. It does not look like someone walked. the way it used to be.

He scanned the grassland at the edge of the jungle again. There were obviously traces of pots and pots and camping on it, and there were a lot of them one by one.

This proves that the main force of the French army must have been stationed here.

Question, where did these guys go?
The chariots under him swept over in a line, and the French troops they found were all running south, so it was impossible for them to go around behind them.

People can only flee south.

He frowned and pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Order, all the generals, generals, and guerrilla generals should immediately send out their scouts to scout around the edge of the jungle. They must find the traces of the main force of the French army fleeing."

At this moment, his millions of chariots and soldiers are scattered over a distance of more than a thousand li. Even if he sends a message quickly, it will take at least two or three days to go back and forth.

In other words, it is useless for him to be anxious. It may take at least three or four days to find the traces of the main force of the French army.

He raised his binoculars to scan the jungle again, and then said loudly: "Set up camp and fix it on the spot."

"Wow", the thousands of chariots following behind him immediately dispersed, and soon surrounded the city with a square formation of chariots.

The soldiers of the Black God Army in the chariot swarmed down in an instant, skillfully untied their horses, moved out their supplies, and set up their tents.

In less than half an hour, the camp for tens of thousands of people was set up, thousands of war horses were also driven to graze on the nearby grassland, and cooking smoke slowly rose in the camp.

Lin Chaojie sighed secretly when he saw this, and then he walked to the handsome tent.

He waited for five days. …

After the scouts went out, they found the main force of the French army, but the location where they fled was more than 600 miles away from the Chinese army.

Immediately, he took hundreds of guards and beat horses and ran all the way to the east. Two days later, he arrived at the edge of the easternmost mountain.

At this time, the most peripheral guerrilla general had already led his men to set up a large camp in the middle of the mountains and jungles. He was led by others to go to the camp and held up a telescope to scan it. He immediately confirmed that the main force of the French army had indeed escaped from here. .

Because the weeds in front were almost all trampled down, even the grain carts and some artillery discarded by the French army could be seen on the uneven slope.

In this terrain, infantry and cavalry can run across, but chariots cannot.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for people to lose both the grain truck and the artillery.

Their chariots are much heavier than grain and forage carts, and this kind of uneven slope horses must not be able to pull them.

How to do it?

Do you abandon the chariot and take the chariot soldiers as infantry to catch up?

This is definitely not possible, at least they ran more than ten days earlier than them.

They are running for their lives, and it is possible for them to run thousands of miles in more than ten days. It is impossible for them to catch up with two legs.

Unless he has enough cavalry.

The question is, at this moment, the millions of chariots are only more than [-] war horses. Can he take more than [-] chariots as cavalry to catch up?

It doesn't work either.

There are at least 30 horses, and this kind of rough road cavalry can't charge at all, and they probably only have to be shot if they catch up.

Can he let more than [-] chariot soldiers follow him to die?
Can not be done!
The emperor has already decreed that they are not allowed to go all out indiscriminately.

Lin Chaojie held up the binoculars and scanned for a while, but he could only sigh slightly, and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to chase.
