Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 465 The Beautiful Hell

The capital of the Kingdom of Hungary, Buda.

Zhu Zhanhe stood at the head of Pest City across the river from Buda, observing the situation on the other side of the river with binoculars.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or necessity, but Jian Xiao and the others in the Eastern European battlefield like to play night raids very much, and Zhu Zhanhe in the Central European battlefield seems to like night raids too.

Attacking Pest at night, Zhu Zhanhe took down Pest, which is across the Danube from Buda, with a thunderbolt, and gained a firm foothold.

In the past, it would have been difficult to attack a city like Pest, but it was different now.

The Ming army captured Vienna and formed a pocket formation together with the plain area in the middle and lower reaches of the Danube, completely wrapping Buda and Pest.

Although it's not as good as catching a turtle in a urn, it's not far off.

Nobles have always been extremely afraid of death, and it can be said that they are the most afraid of death, because the higher a person stands, the more he cherishes his life, and the more he enjoys, the more he is afraid of losing.

The unfavorable battle situation caused the nobles in the two cities of Buda and Pest to flee for their lives, leaving this city that would fall sooner or later with their property and wives and concubines.

Zhu Zhanhe also knew this situation, because he thought of it from the very beginning, after all, few people are not afraid of death, it can be said that it is human instinct to be afraid of death to the point of running away, it can also be said to be the instinct of any creature.

But he didn't prevent this from happening.

Under such circumstances, the person who chooses to flee rather than resist will not do much after all, and he just wants to occupy these places and compress the space of the Holy Roman Empire, which is nothing to human life interest of.

Whether it is a frontal war or a flank attack, the Ming army is not afraid of anyone including the Holy Roman Empire, so as long as they gradually compress their living space, they will be wiped out sooner or later.

At that time, it will be easy to go back and deal with those stragglers.

However, that's all for the future. The most important thing right now is to clear all the enemy forces in the area he captured, so as not to be backstabbed.

"His Royal Highness." Zhu Ling appeared beside the stairs at the top of the city, bowed and said to Zhu Zhanhe.

"The city has been cleaned up, and the soldiers have also packed up."

"En." Zhu Zhanhe nodded, but he did not put down the binoculars in his hand, and continued to observe the situation of Buda opposite through the binoculars.

In the field of vision of the telescope, the city of Buda on the opposite side is empty, and there are no defenders at all, but if you look closely, you will find that occasionally one or two heads stick out from the city, observing the situation outside the city.

Under the city wall outside the city, soldiers in armor of the Ming army were carrying wooden barrels one by one, carefully pouring a liquid on the ground, while those occasionally protruding heads on the top of the city looked at it like this, There was no movement.

They didn't allow the Ming army to act recklessly, nor were they too far away to hit them, but because they were afraid of being beaten.

After capturing Pest, Zhu Zhanhe ordered people to cross the river and began to pour gasoline under the city of Buda on the other side of the river.

At the beginning, the defenders of Buda did not allow the Ming army to do so. They used their most commonly used longbow to counterattack, and the effect was very good. They successfully drove the Ming army away.

However, before they became happy, the Ming army's counterattack came.

Rows of swarming rockets, together with a small amount of white phosphorous eggs and kerosene bombs, fell into the city of Buda indomitably.

Under the suppression of firepower, the Ming army who had been chased away ran back and continued to pour gasoline. The defenders in the city were already taken away by the fleeing nobles, and the few remaining defenders were busy putting out the fire. There is no time to manage.

After the fire was extinguished, they came back and began to drive away the Ming army, and then it was another round of cycle.

After going back and forth like this for three times, the defenders at the top of Buda City learned how to behave, and they did not dare to attack the Ming army anymore, because they knew that as long as they made a move, the Ming army would fight back.

Therefore, even though they knew what the Ming army was doing, they could only stare blankly.

Of course, the reason why they can honestly watch from the top of the city is because their attacks are not at the same level as the counterattack of the Ming army, and the damage they cause is not at the same level.

……

Soon, the Ming army on the other side gathered together, and a single swarm of rockets blasted off.

Zhu Zhanhe put down the binoculars and waved to the Shizi guards beside him, and soon a single swarm of rockets soared into the sky from behind Zhu Zhanhe.

"Pack up your things and get ready to go!"

Zhu Zhanhe directly turned around and went down to the top of the wall. On the other side, a swarm of rockets fired a volley of light into the night, but it was not the end.

The flames suddenly sprang up under the head of the city of Buda, spreading to both sides at an extremely fast speed, and soon formed a fire belt, surrounding the entire city of Buda.

As the flames rose, the cannons that had been waiting by the Danube River rang loudly, and kerosene bombs and white phosphorous eggs flew towards Buda city one after another.

On the other side of the river, Zhu Zhanhe was already fully clothed, and rode out of the city of Pest on a horse, but his direction was not the Buda city on the other side of the river, but headed northwest all the way.

A large number of Ming troops rushed out of Pest City following Zhu Zhanhe, and headed northwest. The Ming troops on the other side of the Buda City began to collect artillery, loaded them on the carriages that had been waiting for a long time, and divided into groups. in two parts.

One part took the carriage and chased in the direction Zhu Zhanhe left, while the other part waited quietly by the river.

All the Ming soldiers followed Zhu Zhanhe toward the north with firm footsteps, and behind them, Buda City suddenly burst into towering fire, lighting up the entire night sky.

The cold wind in the air blew on the city of Buda with a feeling of humidity, but it couldn't play a role in extinguishing the fire. Instead, it reflected a gorgeous color in the sky.

The invisible ice crystals in the air reflect the fire of Buda City, making the sky above Buda City show a fascinating light like the Tyndall effect.

Lampposts in cold nights are beautiful, but in this era, the price to see this beautiful scenery is also extremely high.

This time, it was the city of Buda that used its centuries-old city to create this spectacular scene.

And after that, it will be turned into ruins, which can only prove that someone has visited here and left a tragic history.

……

Meanwhile, the Kingdom of Poland, Lava.

As the saying goes, if you take a slanted sword, you will either win by surprise, or suffer the consequences yourself.

But there is an advantage of going slanted with the sword, that is, what you do is beyond the enemy's expectation, and the enemy will not have time to react.

In terms of rapid march, Ming may not be the strongest, but it is definitely better than Europe, especially on the flat terrain.

After all, the Central Plains may not be comparable to the grasslands in this respect, but it is different compared to Europe.

"How is it?" Wang Jinghong, the leader of Lawa's city, walked behind Jian Xiao and asked with a smile.

"I just said that these grandchildren have bad intentions, right?"

"Well, the idea is good, but the execution is too weak." Jian Xiao put away the telescope in his hand, turned around and leaned against the observation port at the top of the city.

Outside the city behind him, about [-] paces away, a large number of enemy troops were gathering, but Jian Xiao didn't seem to notice it.

"If they can be faster, they can stop us before we do, and even take the time to report to Lawa to prepare for us in advance."

"But it's a pity that they are still far behind in this respect, and they don't know how this kind of army can become a powerful force on the separatist side."

"Hey, it's not fun to say that." Wang Jinghong smiled and leaned against Jian Xiao.

"According to what you said, we have been fighting for almost three years in this land, facing such an army. Doesn't this mean that we are also very ordinary?"

"That's not what you said." Jane smiled coldly.

"We are fighting across borders. We don't know the terrain and the distribution of cities. Even because of the language barrier and skin color, even spying on intelligence is a problem."

"Believe it or not, if we change the battlefield and fight against us in Daming, they won't even be able to enter the Great Wall!"

"That's true." Wang Jinghong didn't refute the words, but nodded in agreement.

It's not arrogance. The strange environment, the cold climate, the lack of intelligence, and the extended supply line are all the reasons why the Ming army fought for three years, not because Europe is too powerful to resist the Ming army. Army for three years.

"By the way, when are you planning to leave?" Thinking of this, Wang Jinghong suddenly changed the subject.

Although it sounds like the donkey's lip is wrong, only the two of them know that Jian Xiao's answer is related to how the battle will develop in the future.

"Wait a little longer..." The sneer at the corner of Jane's mouth disappeared, and she let out a long sigh.

"I can wait for three more days, this is the limit, otherwise I will not be able to make it back before Sanfeng attacks Minsk."

"If there is no response within three days, then we have to withdraw to Warsaw in Masovia."

"You should have thought about it." Wang Jinghong frowned upon hearing this.

"With this withdrawal, it is not impossible to call back in the future, but it will definitely be much more difficult. At that time, it will be twice the result with half the effort."

"Don't worry." Jane smiled when she heard the words, and her smile was full of confidence.

"The news has already been delivered. According to my understanding of His Royal Highness, he should be on the way now. Unless there are some force majeure factors, otherwise he will definitely arrive."

"Besides, how can it be twice the result with half the effort?"

"The next time we attack, the defense strength near Lawa will definitely increase, but the enemy soldiers will not appear out of thin air. The increase in defense strength here means the decline in defense strength elsewhere."

"According to my estimation, the area of ​​decline is very likely to be the north. After all, it is relatively safe with the support of the Kingdom of Denmark."

"So..." Wang Jinghong suddenly realized when he heard the words.

"The north is near the sea, isn't that your world?" Jian Xiao took over Wang Jinghong's words and said with a smile.
