Chapter 77: Unlucky Jessica

Everyone went to help, and drove Nurhaci down with all their might. Jeska walked to the side and called out two men who were guarding here, asking them to gather everyone and prepare for demonstration chariots and artillery.

"What are the doors we use this time?" he asked through Zerik.

"Drag 'John' and 'Big Paul' out," said Guo Kang.

Jeska nodded and took his men to work hard.

"I am responsible for these cannons, muskets, etc." Guo Kang explained: "I like to tinker with novel things. I am happy to look at these things, so they let me take care of them."

"I want to show the strongest field firepower here at present, and then match it with the chariot array to make a demonstration. What I just said is the name of the two cannons."

"That's the name of the saint," said Zhu Jeona.

"Yes." Guo Kang nodded: "You also know that whether the firearms are hit or even exploded is a very metaphysical matter. Therefore, everyone likes to create religious figures for good performance. The name is also considered auspicious."

"This is easy to understand." Zhu Wenkui nodded: "There is a precedent for generals to be granted the cannon in the Ming Dynasty. From this perspective, everyone's ideas are indeed similar."

"Don't my father want to recruit a general every day, so I can just let him buy a cannon." Jeona said with a smile.

Zhu Wenkui actually thought for a moment.

"My father ran around, and it was inconvenient to carry it. We... can't use it if we want to do anything," he replied seriously.

"I mean, my father can't recruit anyone anyway, so why don't you give him a cannon to comfort him." Jeona rolled her eyes and had to explain again.

"Isn't my father trying to recruit people?" Zhu Wenkui pointed at Jieshika and defended Zhu Yunwen: "Mr. Guo said that this man seems to be quite strong. At least this can prove that the father is not only cutting the vassal states, You might as well do something else…”

“…”

Jeona was speechless for a moment, but Guo Kang was a little curious.

"In my impression, Captain Jeska has fought a lot of wars." He reminded: "From the past experience of war, you can at least see something. Have you not even read his resume?"

In his world, Jan Jeska, like other old mercenaries, ran around Europe, looking for suitable employers. He fought for the Bohemian kings many times, although he often did daily work such as robbery and other robbery. , but it is also considered to be a great contribution.

Moreover, some people believe that he participated in the Battle of Greenwald, helping Poland-Lithuania to decisively defeat the Teutonic Knights; others believe that he may have been hired by the English to participate in the Battle of Agincourt, almost destroying France. .

Jeanne, a French village girl in that world, once threatened to clear out the Husky after the British were dealt with. If this resume was true, it would seem normal to fight.

Unfortunately, Jeska had passed away for several years at that time, and not long after, Jeanna herself was arrested by the British, so everyone could not see who could fight the village girl saint or the peasant heretic.

Of course, there is no need to consider this world so much. Even if the original Jeanna is here, with a super heretic like the Purple Horde, the Huspian probably won't be ranked...

"We have asked," Zhu Wenkui said: "But Captain Jeska is doing a very bad job. Although he has a lot of combat experience, he really has nothing to show off."

"Isn't this of course?" Jeona complained: "He has at least seen the world and has contacted the king and the nobles. If it weren't bad, I don't think he would even surrender to his father..."

"What's wrong with him?" Guo Kang always felt something was wrong.

"This man is too unlucky. I don't know if he has the ability. He always chooses the wrong choice every time he chooses the side." Zhu Wenkui said: "I heard from my father that when he saw Jeska, this man was about to go bankrupt."

"At that time, the conflict between Bohemia and Shinra had just ended, and a group of rich mercenary captains gathered in the tavern. Most of them wore conspicuous colorful clothes and wrapped a table, and started bragging hard.

, try to increase your popularity and get a better offer."

"But the father discovered that Jeska was the only person standing and drinking while wearing flowery clothes."

"He is tall; his face is white and there are some scars between his wrinkles; a chaotic and gray beard. Although he is wearing floral clothes, he is dirty and torn. It seems that he has not repaired it for more than ten years and has not been washed.

Look, you know you're not doing well."

"What's going on?" Guo Kang was a little surprised.

"I heard from others that Jeska was also a lord, but his family was too little and he could not do business. So he became poorer and he was about to beg for food. Fortunately, he could command the war, so he organized mercenaries for him and changed his life.

Eat a bowl of rice.”

"It's a pity that he has another disadvantage, that is, he is unlucky. If he joins the army, his employer will even finish his people, treasures and supplies, and his commissions and spoils are completely gone, and he will also pay his ransom. So several times, he organized a mercenary team.

All the money is gone.”

"I heard him say it too." Jeanna also continued: "Before, Poland-Lithuania rectified its army and prepared to attack the Teutonic Knights. Jeska thought that Poland could win, so she led her subordinates to join the coalition forces and

He invested all his wealth and expanded it into a larger mercenary group, ready to take the opportunity to make a fortune."

"But before the war, the Teutonic Knights found that their troops were weak and their strategic situation was very bad. The regiment leader Rong Jingen and others were very worried and asked for help from their hometown, but Sigismund and others of Shinra,

I am busy with internal power struggles and cannot give them enough support."

"At the time of desperate situation, at the suggestion of the Hanseatic contractor who provided logistics, the Knights found the Purple Horde and sought to jointly deal with Poland-Lithuania. The Purple Horde immediately agreed to recruit troops to go north and sent a large number of Mongolian pirates.

Attacking the coastal territory of Poland-Lithuania. The Ross people under the jurisdiction of the Khanate also took action and actively caused trouble for Poland."

"At the beginning, the Poles didn't take it seriously, but not long after, a huge fleet of pirate ships gathered and landed near Danze, breaking through the fortresses set up by Poland in the local area."

"After the break, Mongolian pirates rushed in and plundered everywhere. Some people also robbed along the Vistula River, almost heading towards Warsaw. The Poles had to divide their troops to drive out and encircle the pirates, resulting in a decrease in the number of troops that could participate in the war.

, the supply is not sufficient."

"At this time, the Teutonic Knights took the initiative to march and encountered the coalition forces south of Marinburg. The coalition forces in poor condition failed to play their advantages. Facing the cavalry and new artillery of the Knights, they were soon defeated. Poland

The central army was defeated by the knights' charge and the flag was lost. The others also fled in all directions."

"Jeska's capital was completely lost in this battle." Zhu Wenkui shook his head and said, "However, he still has prestige. He heard that England was preparing to recruit troops and continue to fight with France, so he contacted the mercenary manager again.

, ready to participate, want to make a comeback."

"But at this time, because the father had previously reduced the vassals, the French nobles joined the British army one after another. The army was soon full and there was no sufficient logistics capacity to maintain a larger scale. The King of England then dismissed other mercenaries, the heroes.
