Chapter 1143: Hero
Almost in five minutes, the entire European coalition collapsed.
Running away is contagious, and once a phalanx starts to flee, the entire army collapses. Because the situation on the battlefield is not optimistic, the rout of others will lead to further deterioration of the situation. Man is an instinctive animal, and when he sees someone else fleeing for his life, instinct will make the witness instantly lose the meaning of continuing to fight.
First, the phalanx in Eastern Europe began to collapse and no longer rushed forward. Then the Italian troops collapsed, and the burghers from Genoa suddenly became noisy and fled in a rout. Then the entire Italian contingent was completely dispersed. Only half a minute later, the rout spread spread to the troops of the Balkan states.
The army was defeated like a mountain, and the great phalanx of the Spaniards did not hold out for long and collapsed. Then there was the "strongest army in Europe" in France, the armies of the Netherlands and Austria.
All the European coalition forces on the battlefield stopped moving forward, and one by one they turned around and fled, throwing away their weapons and rushing to the rear like a swarm of crabs on the beach. In the end, even the most courageous Prussian and Swedish armies collapsed. The Mini riflemen of the Duchy of Prussia threw away their guns and ran wildly with their heads in their hands.
João IV looked at the battlefield with his mouth wide open, with a happy and worried expression on his face.
He was glad that Li Zhi won, Lisbon was saved, and Portugal, which had finally recovered, withstood the siege of the whole of Europe and finally held its capital. After Lisbon was held, it was thought that other cities would be relieved one by one, and the Portuguese would soon have won the Great Patriotic War.
The Portuguese can still proudly call themselves Portuguese without having to learn Spanish. The Portuguese nobility did not need to kneel before the king of Madrid.
João IV, however, feared that the war would be won too easily. The Tiger Army won the war almost without stopping in the trenches, and the pride and conceit of the Europeans were completely knocked to the ground.
João IV could imagine how Li Zhi would sweep across Europe next, needless to say, no force could stop Li Zhi's conquest. Europe will be divided into several provinces by Li Zhi, and there will be no more independent states, and will only exist as a geographical term in the book in the future.
What will Li Zhi, who is so invincible, do with Portugal? Although Portugal has always submitted to Li Zhi, Portugal is a white country and a European country after all. In the past, Portugal was a nail in the coffin of one town and nine provinces in Europe, which could help Li Zhi attract the firepower of the whites. But now that Europe has been crippled and crushed, has Portugal lost its strategic significance?
João IV knew that there is an old Chinese saying that "if you are not of my race, your heart will be different". After all the whites surrendered, what would Li Zhi do to Portugal in the end?
João IV did not know Li Zhi and did not know if Li Zhi would be treacherous. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and a cold sweat broke out on his head.
Zhong Feng looked at the scene on the battlefield and laughed.
He turned around and looked at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi didn't seem to notice the victory on the battlefield, but just looked up into the distance, as if thinking about the layout of Europe in the future. For Li Zhi, there is no need to doubt the victory of the Lisbon battle, and the only thing to worry about is how to arrange the pattern of Europe after the war.
If the fierce white Europeans began to fight guerrilla warfare and hid in the mountains of Europe to organize underground resistance, the situation would also be very tricky.
Seeing that Li Zhi didn't look at the battlefield, Zhong Feng thought about it and said loudly: "Report to the Holy Lord!" “
Li Zhi Zhong Feng's voice attracted attention and looked at Zhong Feng.
Zhong Feng arched his hand and said, "Holy Lord, please look!" The European coalition outside Lisbon has been defeated. Your Majesty, please ask the Holy One! Does our army need to pursue and defeat the enemy? ”
Li Zhi was stunned, and then looked at the battlefield.
On the battlefield, the Europeans have completely turned into pawns. The artillery of the Tiger Ben Army was still bombarding the rout, but the machine gunners and riflemen had lost their targets, and they all waited for Li Zhi's order with their heads tilted back.
Li Zhi looked at the European coalition forces opposite, nodded and said, "Chase it, you can kill one more on the frontal battlefield." ”
Zhong Feng shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an order!" ”
Flags were waved violently over the castle, and soon the order was transmitted to the entire battle line. The soldiers of the Tiger Army waited for this order, and one by one they jumped out of the trench with their rifles in hand, and chased after the scattered European coalition forces with a roar.
Liu Jun rushed to the front.
Liu Jun was an infantryman, and from the beginning of the battle to the present great victory, he fired only three shots, but did not hit the Austrian soldiers who were 300 meters away. If it was in the past, Liu Jun would have forgotten it, after all, discipline on the battlefield was the first priority. But the current Liu Jun is different, and the current Liu Jun wants to return to the city of Lisbon as a battle hero and find the blonde girl who gave him the dagger.
He wants to make a meritorious service, and he wants to be a hero in the defense of Lisbon.
Before the squad leader stepped out of the trench, Liu Jun strode more than ten meters away. When the deputy squad leader saw Liu Jun's appearance, he scolded the thief, and hurriedly chased after him with a gun, worried that Liu Junchong would crash into the encirclement of the rout too quickly.
The kings of Europe in the distance were all dead to ashes.
Wilhelm II, the ruler of the Netherlands, had fallen to the ground and sat on the ground trembling. He felt that the sky was falling, and the Netherlands was finished.
Now that Lee Sik is able to defeat the European coalition forces in Lisbon, he will surely be able to win again elsewhere. Li Zhi has a navy, and there is no point in wooden sailing ships in front of Li Zhi's ironclad ships. The Baltic Sea outside the Netherlands would provide Li Zhi with unhindered access, and the Tiger Army would be able to storm Amsterdam in two weeks.
Wilhelm II understood that Li Zhi hated the Dutch to the core.
What to do?
What to do?
Wilhelm II looked to the left and right in a panic, only to see a group of equally panicked faces.
Without hesitation, Cromwell rushed to the horses in the rear and began to run away.
Louis XIV on the ground showed no signs of awakening, and the French generals carried him on his back and tried to take him for his life in a carriage.
The other kings were similarly in disarray, and none of them tried to come up with a solution to save the day.
On the opposite side, the gates of Lisbon suddenly opened, and fifty infantry fighting vehicles suddenly rushed out and rushed straight towards the European nobles on this side. Infantry fighting vehicles have been improved over the years and now have a top speed of up to twenty-three kilometers per hour.
Obviously, Li Zhi wanted to take down the kings of Europe.
Queen Christina, who had been taking care of Louis XIV, suddenly stood up.
The Swedish woman, who seemed to be the only calm among all the kings of Europe, cried out: "Portugal and Spain are not in danger, and the Pyrenees are too thin to be caught in front and rear by Li Zhi's navy." We can now only retreat into the vast mountainous areas of southern Germany and the Swiss front, where we can organize our fronts. ”
The kings glanced at Christina, a little surprised at the woman's composure at the critical moment. However, most of the kings were in a hurry to flee for their lives, and did not answer the Swedish queen's proposal, and all of them mounted their horses and ran.
Christina gritted her teeth, rushed into her carriage, and turned around and fled northeast.
