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 is most concerned about now is the Swedish army's next move, although killing this advance force can delay it for a while.
But it won't be 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 food problem 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.
It can only reach 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 must defend the city.
Let Longyan's army do whatever it takes before the enemy's eyes.
If the Franco-Austrian Allied Forces invade in a large scale, the Longyan Army will face the same situation as Prussia.
A rear armament production base must be established.
Ling Chen already had countermeasures in place. The Austrian army had now withdrawn from Prussia, which greatly reduced the difficulty for Ling Chen to get in touch with Prussia.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 an armaments factory 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, the 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 carried out a large-scale purge of the city on the road to Prussia.
This is why Ling Chen can only command 3,000 troops now, and can use 30,000 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 the unhealthy color on his face.
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."
