Chapter 1692 Selecting the Dunkirk Fortress
"General, we've got a big guy, but we can't understand what they're saying. It seems to be a bitch."

Sun Chuanting's cavalry captured a group of Swedish cavalry, and they brought the Swedish Queen Christina and other Swedish knights before Sun Chuanting.They don't understand the language of the Stockholm area or Germany, but seeing a Swedish knight guarding a female knight, they naturally consider it an important person.

The Holy Alliance pursued the deserters after the victory, and the Swedish prisoners were only a part, and the rest of the prisoners added up to 4000 people.

"Is there anyone who can understand their words?" Sun Chuanting couldn't understand their words at all.

"I am Queen Christina of Sweden. Please guarantee the lives of our knights. We are willing to use a ransom as the price for regaining our freedom." Christina knew many languages. She met Sun Chuanting, who was the commander-in-chief of the army. Said to him.

"Queen of Sweden..."

Sun Chuanting was deeply surprised to see this young woman in armor.

It is not surprising that European countries have women as kings, but there are very few kings who are willing to go out in person. Generally, princes, dukes, and earls serve as commanders, and the chances of capturing kings are even less.

Capturing Queen Christina here is an extra credit.

"Treat the queen well as a guest of honor, and send her directly to the city of London." Sun Chuanting said.

Prince Rupert, Blake and other English generals were also quite surprised when they heard that Sun Chuanting's cavalry had captured the Queen of Sweden. This was a figure of the same level as their Queen Sophia.

"I am Prince Rupert of England. It is a great honor to meet Her Majesty the Queen." Prince Rupert led a team of English generals to meet Queen Christina.

"..." When Christina saw the generals of England, she didn't know what to say, how could the defeated general speak bravely.

However, unless there is a deadly feud between the two parties, even if the nobles are caught by the other party, they can get preferential treatment. This is a tacit understanding.

"What do you plan to do with the Queen of Sweden? The fundamental purpose of our war this time is for trade, not for feuds with other countries. We hope to entertain the Queen of Sweden." Prince Rupert said to Sun Chuanting.

"We intend to send her to London as a bargaining chip in the negotiations. Although the queen of Sweden is the king, as far as I know, the Privy Council of Sweden should be in charge. Even if we capture her, it will not help. A certain threat." Sun Chuanting said.

"That's fine." Prince Rupert and other English generals agreed with Sun Chuanting's approach.

The iron-clad ship General Fubo was tasked with escorting the Queen of Sweden to London City, and at the same time returned to London City to obtain a batch of supplies.

After defeating the European Union's 2.4-strong army, Sun Chuanting and Prince Rupert continued to besiege the Dunkirk fortress, vowing to attack the fortress.

A group of captured French, Spanish, Swedish, and German soldiers were used as engineers to dig trenches. Most of these soldiers had combat experience and were more skilled than the recruited men. They had to help the Holy Alliance army dig and attack Dunkirk. The trenches of the fortress.

The flags of the kingdoms of France, Spain, Sweden, etc. were lifted to the front of the fortress, together with the captured soldiers from various countries, so that the defenders in the Dunkirk fortress realized that their reinforcements had been defeated.

The Prince of Condé of France, the Duke of Brandenburg, and the Spanish general gathered the defeated army on the periphery after the fiasco on the beach, and they were able to gather about 1.7 people.

Although the remaining army is still considerable, the morale of the reinforcements has been lost, and the army lacking morale has no combat effectiveness, and continuing to force the battle will only lead to another defeat.

"You people in France and Spain are the backbone, why are you suddenly defeated?" The Duke of Brandenburg asked Prince Condé, who was the main force, dissatisfiedly after the battle.

The German cuirassiers and mercenaries led by him have not yet been defeated, but the French and Spanish troops in the center retreated ahead of schedule. If the center army is defeated, the cavalry on the left and right flanks will not be able to turn the tide of the battle if they continue to fight.

"Their firearms and discipline are far above ours. Our soldiers couldn't bear the huge casualties, so they were defeated. If you don't believe it, next time your German cuirassiers can try to attack their infantry." Condé The prince's taste is hard to describe.

Duke Brandon frowned: "Is their infantry really that powerful? Then what should we do next?"

"Ask for more reinforcements from all countries. We can use the advantages in numbers and the fortresses all over the place to defend. They have come from afar, and they will definitely not be able to consume us." Prince Condé thought for a while, and he was also very happy. Talented people see that they cannot be defeated in a frontal battle, so they turn to a war of attrition.

"Where has the Queen of Sweden fled?"

The Duke of Brandenburg and Prince Condé were gathering the remnants. They waited for a long time but did not see Queen Christina of Sweden.

"Our queen was captured by cavalry from the east..." said a Swedish knight who escaped by chance.

Prince Condé and Duke Brandon heard that the Queen of Sweden had been arrested, and their expressions were uncertain: "This is terrible. I don't know if Sweden will be forced to withdraw from the war because of this incident."

"I can only take one step at a time."

Facing such a situation, the Allied forces of the Continental Confederation had nothing to do. They could only look for new opportunities to fight the enemies who landed in Dunkirk.

Dunkirk was besieged for eight days. Warships with shallower drafts fired solid ammunition at the fortress, while the landing artillery used field artillery as close to the city wall as possible through the trenches, smashing the city wall down. The Chinese officers led Indian native soldiers stormed the fortress from the breach, they occupied the fortress, and the yellow dragon flag was planted on the fortress of the fortress!

"Put down your weapons, we will give you the hospitality you deserve."

Sun Chuanting led a group of soldiers to capture the defenders in the fortress. There were thousands of people, as well as Blazer, the nephew of the former French Cardinal Richelieu and the commander of the French fleet.

As a French nobleman, of course he received preferential treatment and was not tied up.

"What is the purpose of your Holy Alliance?" Blazer saw Sun Chuanting who led the troops into the fortress.

"I hope that the ambassadors of various countries can come to the city of London to have a good talk about the establishment of transportation and business with us." Sun Chuanting said.

"Are you willing to use force for business?" Blazer said in a deep voice.

"I'm just a soldier, and I'll hand over the negotiation to the ambassador. The order I accepted was to capture Paris within half a year, and let the two sides return to the negotiating table to have a good dialogue." Sun Chuanting replied.
