"General, this..."
Most of Long Yan's army looked at a loss. Except for those who trafficked people, they had rarely seen troops carrying children.
And looking at what this kid is wearing, you can tell that his identity is not simple.
Moreover, this time the Swedish army only dispatched 10,000 people, and the mission goal was not to capture the Prussians.
Ling Chen frowned. He was ruthless, but he couldn't do anything with a child.
"Take it back." Ling Chen didn't pay much attention.
What he cares about most now is the Swedish army's next move, although killing this advance force can delay it for a while.
But not for long.
If this force does not send back any news for a long time, the Swedish army will definitely launch a larger offensive.
But they don't have much ammunition now.
The problem of food has been replenished after several plunders, but the ammunition of the Long Yan Army is very special.
Although the specially-made ammunition allows the Long Yan Army to obtain more powerful force, it also imposes many restrictions.
Like the Dragon Flame Cannon, the power fired by the most common shells will be greatly reduced.
Only capable of reaching the level of British artillery.
The range is 200 meters, and the explosion lethality is not much different.
There is no problem with using this kind of artillery on the battlefield, but after using the best one, I don’t want to use a second-rate one.
Moreover, Hanover is now in dire straits, and Ling Chen wants to defend the city.
Let the Longyan Army make repeated moves under the eyes of the enemy.
If the Franco-Austrian Allied Forces invaded in a large scale, the Long Yan Army would face the same situation as Prussia.
A rear armament production base must be established.
Ling Chen already had countermeasures for this. The Austrian army had now withdrawn from Prussia, which greatly reduced the difficulty for Ling Chen to get in touch with Prussia.
He wanted to use the factories that Prussia had built to improve them into armaments factories capable of producing weapons.
Back in the military camp, Ling Chen looked at the map.
Marked above is the current path of expansion.
Although the Austrian army had to evacuate from Prussia, years of war had spawned many bandits.
Coupled with the weakening of Prussia's dominance, this resulted in the withdrawal of the Austrian army, but a large number of spy organizations were left behind.
Ling Chen did not want his construction of transportation lines and improvement of Prussian factories to be exposed to the Austrians.
So he launched a wave of purges in the city on the road to Prussia.
This is why Ling Chen can only command three thousand soldiers now, and can use the thirty thousand troops to do the cleaning work.
Ling Chen looked at the advancing route. There was still some distance from Prussia. Ling Chen frowned.
Progress must be accelerated.
At this moment, a startled voice came from outside the door: "Where does this child come from?"
Ling Chen seemed to feel relieved when he heard Diana's voice. As soon as he opened the door, little Peter ran in, followed by Diana.
"You run slower."
Diana followed in, glanced at Ling Chen, and ignored him.
Ling Chen touched his nose and quietly watched the chasing game between Diana and this strange little boy.
Soon, Diana caught the child and looked closely at his face which was full of unhealthy colors.
Light blonde hair and blue eyes.
Diana looked at the clothes he was wearing and frowned slightly: "Where did you find this child?"
"In the Swedish army, I don't know what the Swedes think."
"Marching with such a young child."
Diana frowned even more tightly and said with a frown: "He is wearing the clothes of a German noble. He may be a German noble."
"Germanic?" Ling Chen was stunned.
Diana nodded, and then said: "It looks like he is a Prussian noble, although for some unknown reason, he entered the Swedish army."
Ling Chen said nothing. Diana's guess was reasonable, even though Hanover had already fallen.
But the Prussian nobles still existed in Hanover, maybe the Prussian nobles captured by the Swedish army.
"Now we don't know where their parents are and there is no way to return them."
Ling Chen looked at the child hiding behind the wooden table, his green eyes filled with fear.
Ling Chen exhaled and said helplessly: "Since coming here, he has never spoken a word."
The current situation of Long Yanjun is not good, and there are many places in the military camp that children cannot go.
Giving him back is the best option.
Diana only saw Ling Chen's difficulties and said empathetically: "General, I think it's best to send him to Frederick II."
"After all, he is still the king of Prussia, so he will take care of him."
Ling Chen thought for a moment and sighed: "That's all we have to do."
…
At this time, the other side of Europe.
Liu Zheng took Teresa to the suburbs, and the refugees gathered secretly organized troops.
Teresa became the actual controller of the army.
Douglas frantically searched for Theresa and Liu Zheng in Prague.
Kill the men and capture the women.
The conflict between Catholics and Catholics continues to deepen, and now Prague is simply like a purgatory on earth.
People are dying every day.
Fights break out every moment, the suffering people of Austria, the Catholics who believe in the Lord.
All placed their hopes on the messenger sent by the Lord.
They were starving, and legends spread among the refugees.
The messengers sent by the Lord have brought dry food and food, which you can never finish. As long as you have enough faith and can pay the price, the Lord's messenger will give you food.
As for the price, he might just have to plow the land.
In such a tangible legend, countless refugees became Liu Zheng's people.
At this time, Liu Zheng looked at the groups of refugees with an expressionless face, but he sighed in his heart.
The influence of Christianity is deeply rooted in Europe, and it is impossible to win over so many refugees without using the name of the Lord.
Now there are the most basic people, but Liu Zheng knows that these people have not yet been able to form combat effectiveness.
There are no guns, so relying on them to stop the Holy Crusaders is undoubtedly a fantasy.
What he needs to do next is to make these refugees more cohesive.
At this time, several waves of uninvited guests gathered in Prague.
Prague, already chaotic and turbulent, seems to be about to fall apart.
Regarding the current situation in Prague, Leonardo and the two only saw the superficial level. Countless refugees were either beaten to death or starved to death on the streets.
The cruelty of these refugees was more cruel than any place the two of them had seen along the way.
All scary.
"Purgatory on earth."
