Peter also heard what these ladies said, and he didn't expect that he would be so old-fashioned in their mouths. Do you have to have many lovers to be charming?

"What is your majesty thinking about?"

Peter heard a voice behind him, and when he turned around, it was Sofia.

"Nothing, but Alexander and his family should have a brother or sister." After saying that, he carried Sofia to the bedroom.

The steward behind him thought that the relationship between the emperor and the queen was so good, there shouldn't be anyone else joining, right?

Time flies, Zheng He's fleet has been here for a month. The goods they brought were basically exchanged for local specialties and currency, and the emperor also sent them five imperial artillery. The scene of the triumphal parade at that time has been deeply engraved in the hearts of Chen Cheng and Zheng He, and they can't wait to tell Zhu Di about this grand occasion.

Because of the good and bad news that came one after another this month, Vytautas's treatment was sometimes good and sometimes bad. Because Władysław still didn't raise money to redeem him, he had to live in the prison in Constantinople.

There were prisoners tortured every day here, and those tragic shouts made the Grand Duke of Lithuania feel that he would end up like this at any time. He had been thinking about getting rid of this place, but now, apart from the emperor's mercy, he could only wait for Władysław to raise money to redeem him. But the King of Poland had more important things to do at this time.

After paying such a high price, Władysław was scolded by the nobles, accusing him of wasting money to fight against the two countries and losing a large area of ​​land.

After the Northern Berlin Alliance obtained the Western Pomerania region, the Bartland family forces surrounded him from all sides. It seemed that he had no way out, but he still tried to find it.

He put himself in the Warsaw Castle to think of a way, with only two thousand of his own troops guarding him around. But after thinking for a long time, there was nothing he could do. He was like an isolated island, watching the Catholic brothers on the other side from afar, but he could not go there.

However, at this time, the news from Bohemia affected the whole of Central Europe. The Hussites and the Orthodox coalition began to capture cities and territories in Bohemia, and the Hussites in Prague also launched an uprising under the leadership of the monk Tchaikovsky and the 30-year-old knight Jan. Jieska. They besieged Prague City Hall, City Council and Catholic Church, and attacked Prague Castle in an attempt to bring out the king. But in the end, they were forced to flee because they were outnumbered, and they decided to go to Brno to meet with Hus.

The Bohemian uprising made the princes in the Holy Roman Empire feel unbelievable. They didn't expect these untouchables to really dare to rebel. But now is not the time to be surprised, and they quickly sent troops to suppress it.

As the future heir of Bohemia, Sigismund naturally encouraged others to enter Prague. On the surface, it was to protect the king's safety, but in fact it was to control Wenzel from doing anything else.

Those powerful nobles in Bohemia followed the teachings of the Catholic Church and directly eliminated heretics.

At this time, the army in the south had expanded its power to several towns around Brno. They began to experiment and tried to govern the towns in the way of the Hussites. Although they had temporarily escaped from the predicament, they still had to find a way to fight against those heretics.

Although the Orthodox Church was quite powerful in the local area, considering that Hus had greater appeal, they nominated Hus as the leader of the uprising.

Hus also knew the strength of the Orthodox Church, so he recognized each other. He began to send a message for help to Hungary and Brandenburg, but he had no chips in his hands, so he needed to continue to expand his control area.

But Hus's uprising directly led to the mood of the whole Bohemia, and part of the Silesia uprising army led the army to attack southward. It was easy to take down the unprepared Vinsk, which was less than a day's journey from the important town of Bautzen.

The Elector of Saxony was the first to learn about the situation and hurriedly organized his army to enter Bohemia. After Jandzeka set out eastward and captured the city of Wojtica, he encountered his first large enemy force here, with a total of 2,000 cavalry and several thousand infantry, while he had only more than 2,200 untrained civilians. However, at this time, he still had his own secret weapon - chariots.

For more than a century before this, European armies had used horse-drawn carriages to provide support and build field fortifications. But Jandzeka's chariots were specially designed and built. They were made using a universal template, with a sturdy structure and shooting holes on the sides to accommodate soldiers and a variety of weapons, including field guns, hand cannons, crossbows and pole guns. These chariots were essentially mobile military fortresses, manned by about 20 soldiers, and they provided the Hussites with powerful firepower and defensive capabilities, making them almost invincible on the battlefield.

When the battle came, the Hussites would link their chariots together to form a square or circular fortress, providing safe cover for their warriors and allowing them to operate their weapons effectively. This formation also allowed them to concentrate their firepower, resulting in a more concentrated and fierce attack on the battlefield. The tall baffle not only blocked the attacks of enemy infantry and cavalry, but also effectively intercepted the arrows and light firearms of the enemy's long-range forces. In addition, there were small shooting holes on the baffle, allowing the Hussite soldiers in the chariot camp to shoot, or extend their spears and halberds to block the charge of enemy cavalry.

After the battle began, the attacking knights were wearing heavy armor, so they could only move forward with difficulty under the dense projectile fire of Jan Jessica. Even worse were the knights responsible for the flank attack. Many of them fell into the inconspicuous swamp, were shot into sieves, or drowned alive. But no matter what, relying on the advantage of numbers, the knights finally rushed to the front of the chariots after paying a heavy price and prepared to engage in their best hand-to-hand combat.

In theory, the rebels would never be able to fight against the plate knights in hand-to-hand combat, but the chariots played an important role here. The halberd soldiers and flail soldiers stood on the chariots and used long pole weapons to smash and chop the cans. The knights were not to be outdone. They climbed onto the chariots with pain, and the Hussite infantry raised their shields and pulled out their maces and swords to fight desperately. When a chariot was in danger, the chariots next to it would immediately provide fire support. At such a close distance, crossbows and matchlocks could penetrate armor with one shot. The two sides fought from day to evening, and the knights launched several attacks but were repelled.

At night, the enemy regrouped and prepared to launch the strongest offensive under the cover of darkness and thick fog. But when they rushed over, they found that Jessica had already retreated under the cover of the night fog.
