Although, at present, the number of coalition forces in European countries far exceeds this. However, the bulk of the Ming army is definitely the troops that followed the Ming Emperor on the expedition. Otherwise, with the strength in front of him, where did the Ming Emperor get the confidence to defeat so many enemies in a dignified manner?

It is based on this idea that both Alexei and Ahmet are very calm, waiting for the arrival of the main army of the Ming Dynasty.

As time passed, more and more armies from European countries arrived. Whenever a country's army arrives, Warsaw's side, as if on purpose, cheers. The movement is so big that everyone on the side of the Ming army knows: Oh, it turns out that there is another European army!

Eventually, even the farthest island nation, the British army, led by their protector Cromwell, reached Warsaw. The total number of troops reached an unprecedented number of 710,000.

Around Warsaw, the dense camps are fluttering the flags of various countries, and even the military uniforms are colorful and varied.

Seeing all this, the Ming army camp, I don't know why, the usual voices are much quieter, and there is a lot less laughter.

When the soldiers everywhere met and chatted with each other, they would cheer each other up: "It's okay, when the emperor's army arrives, maybe we can surpass their forces at once!" ”

"Yes, the population of the Ming Dynasty does not know how much more than them. Their army is definitely not a million, maybe the Ming Emperor will come directly with a real army of one million. ”

“……”

Just as they were expecting, there were still four days before Emperor Chongzhen's previous date, and finally a team of knights galloped from the east. I saw that they were wearing flying fish suits, and although they still had embroidered spring knives, they had muskets stuck in their waists.

The soldiers of the Ming vassal states may not recognize it, but from the faces, they know that this is the Ming army soldiers from the Far East Ming Dynasty. But the Ming soldiers under Lu Xiangsheng recognized it at a glance, and they came to be the captain of the Jinyi Guard.

The appearance of the Jinyi Guard means that the emperor is about to arrive.

Suddenly, the Daming camp finally boiled. After waiting for so long, the army of the Ming Emperor is finally arriving.

Sure enough, after Lu Xiangsheng received this team of Jinyi guard captains, he immediately passed down the order to let the leaders of the various departments follow him.

This order is an official endorsement, which means that the Ming Emperor is really coming.

In this way, the entire military camp is not as simple as boiling. The cheers, it was a burst of high.

The side of the Ming army barracks, which was originally relatively quiet, suddenly became so boiling, and it immediately alarmed the side of the coalition forces of European countries. Whether it was a noble officer or an ordinary soldier, they all paid curious attention to the movements of the Ming army.

At the head of Warsaw, on this commanding height, the leading figures of various countries have gathered here. One by one, holding binoculars in their hands, looking ahead.

"Looking at it like this, it is estimated that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom has led the army!" Cromwell guessed as he watched.

Karl X Gustav, the king of Sweden on the side, heard this, and said in an affirmative tone: "It's only been a few days, and it must be that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom has led the army." ”

"It's four days!" Da Kongdai frowned and said, "I came here so late, it is estimated that it is caused by too much grain and grass and the slow march of the army." I don't know how many soldiers and horses the emperor of the Ming Kingdom will bring over in person! ”

The host, King John II Casimir of Poland, heard this, and said worriedly: "I heard that the population of the country is extremely large, and now it is the emperor of the Ming Kingdom who is personally driving the expedition, and he dares to give us two months to prepare, I am afraid that he is coming with the momentum of thunder, and there should be an army of millions, right?" ”

His thoughts are obviously similar to those of those in the Ming vassal state. In the end, they were a little afraid of the strength of the Ming army.

However, another famous French general, the strategic military strategist Tirrene, had a slightly different view, and said: "The emperor of the Ming Kingdom is good at grasping the flaws of the enemy, attacking them by surprise, and winning more with less. In my opinion, since the Emperor Ming is personally commanding this war, I don't think there will be too many troops to bring. 500,000, it should be the top! ”

Of course, he didn't just guess the number, but if the Ming Emperor brought 500,000, the total strength would be about the same as that of the allies in Europe.

"Yes, a person's fighting style will not change much. The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom has always won more with less, and I am afraid that this time will not be an exception. Raimundo Montecucoli, Grand Marshal of the Holy Roman Empire, military reformer, and master of warfare based on fortifications and mobile warfare, echoed Tirrena's point of view, saying, "The Ming army relies on their better weapons than ours, and this alone will not bring too many troops." Otherwise, they can't afford it logistically alone. You know, they're not fighting on home! ”

King John II of Poland was a little displeased when he heard this, and thought to himself, I said at least a million, but you say at most half a million? Is this bullying?

Thinking so in his heart, he carefully substituted for the position of Emperor Daming, feeling that if he came to be the Emperor of Daming, he would definitely not be able to bring only 500,000, what if he lost? For the sake of safety, since there are so many troops, it is definitely necessary to bring more!

Thinking like this, he said in a slightly unhappy tone: "What if the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom arrives with a million troops? Do you think that if the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom brings a million troops, it will scare you, so he deliberately said it to the lesser? ”

For this king who did nothing and turned a powerful Poland into a bullying man, Raimondo really had no awe, and immediately sneered and said: "The emperor of the Ming Kingdom is a promising king with brilliant achievements, how can he only know how many soldiers to decide the victory?" ”

Just because John II was an incompetent king doesn't mean he's stupid. Raimondo's words were full of sarcasm for him, and of course he could feel it. Immediately angry, and it looked like they were about to quarrel.

At this time, Cromwell made a round and said, "There is no need to argue about this matter. How many troops the Ming Emperor brought is estimated to be seen in less than an hour. ”

His identity is there, no matter who it is, you have to give him face. Thinking about it again, the enemy is currently in power, and it is not good for him to quarrel first. So, neither John II nor Raimondo spoke again, but just opened their eyes wide and watched the movement of the Ming army through binoculars.

In fact, it was only more than half an hour later, and there was a faint movement in the distance to the east.

Red waves, wave after wave emerge from the sky. The sound of horses' hooves like thunder rolled in.

Seeing this scene, the camp of the Ming army, especially the soldiers of the vassal states, released the heavy pressure of the enemy's forces one by one, and shouted loudly with joy.

"Look, it's the Ming Cavalry, the Ming Cavalry is here!"

"It's mighty! Now it's okay, don't be afraid of those Europeans! ”

"I don't know how many men and horses the Ming Emperor brought this time, just looking at this forward cavalry, I estimate, how can there be millions, right?"

“……”

When they talk to each other, it's as if the scale of a million-level force is as common as a cabbage.

Alexei, who was standing behind Lu Xiangsheng, looked carefully for a while, and then secretly introduced to Ahmet: "This is not the army brought by Emperor Ming from the east, but the subordinates of Ming Weihou. ”

Hong Chengchou's subordinates, if they want to talk about familiar words, of course, they have to be him.

When Ahmed heard this, his eyes widened even more, looking expectantly to the east.

After about 10,000 cavalry arrived, after a little while, in the distance, groups of men and horses began to appear again. Wearing a red military uniform, needless to say, it was a soldier of the Ming army.

This time, although it was far away, it could be clearly seen that it was a mixed army of infantry and cavalry. The cavalry marched on both sides, and in the middle were infantry troops, or rather, it would be more accurate to say that the chariot battalion.

These are actually nothing, but the senior generals who are watching with the help of binoculars are a little dumbfounded. After Ahmet secretly put down the binoculars, he turned his head and asked Alexei in a low voice: "Why do I seem to have seen the imperial flag, could it be the emperor of the Ming Kingdom?" Isn't he supposed to be in the Chinese army? ”

Alexei also wondered, generally speaking, the emperor should be in the Chinese army. But now that there are only 10,000 cavalry troops, how can this mixed infantry and cavalry army in front of him be regarded as a forward force, not even the main force of the forward, right? But why, the banner of the Ming Emperor is here?

Although he was so puzzled in his heart, when he answered Ahmed, he seemed to be very confident and professional: "You don't know this, do you?" The Ming Emperor has been driving in person all the year round, so he likes to take the lead and appear in the vanguard, which is not surprising! ”

Ahmet had not directly fought against the Ming Emperor and did not know much. Listening to Alexy say it with such certainty, I believed it.

After a while, when they got closer, they saw Lu Xiangsheng turn his head and greet them: "Your Majesty has arrived, go with this official to meet them!" ”

This is confirmation that the Ming Emperor himself is under the imperial flag.

Ahmed listened, looked up and looked away, and found that there were cavalry troops driving behind, so he was a lot relieved, and followed Lu Xiangsheng to meet the driver.

After meeting, it must be introduced, and then after some politeness, Lu Xiangsheng asked Emperor Chongzhen to go to the camp prepared in advance by him to rest.

Alexei saw that Lu Xiangsheng was going to accompany the Ming Emperor, he was puzzled, looked at the cavalry coming from afar, and secretly found an opportunity to ask Lu Xiangsheng: "My lord, what about the army behind here, I didn't see anyone left to receive you?" ”

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng knew the specific strength, and when he heard this, he looked up at the back, and then said to him lightly: "That's the rear army, just arrange to enter the camp." ”

"......" Alexei was dumbfounded when he heard it, that is the rear army?
