"Prince Rupert is back! And the Governor of Ireland!"

The King's Army in Oxfordshire cheered, and the King's Army gathered in Oxfordshire had more than 30,000 troops, and various counties supporting the king had troops deployed. It can be said that a considerable number of young and strong people participated in this civil war.

Prince Rupert conquered a port occupied by local parliamentary forces, which greatly inspired the morale of the King's Army!

"I am leading the Irish Legion to come late, I hope your Majesty will forgive you." Governor Lester of Ireland saluted Charles I.

"It is already a great achievement for you to lead the Irish Legion. How many people have you led?" asked Charles I.

"Two years ago, I truceed with the Irish people as directed by His Majesty the King and focused on training the army. Now there are 10 militias on the front line of Ireland, and I have brought them all over, with a total of 10,213 infantry and 1,457 cavalry." The Irish Governor said respectfully to Charles I.

"Will the Irish Legion be loyal to me?" asked Charles I.

"Of course, the Irish army is His Majesty's faithful servant, and you are the king of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and have the supreme power of yours." replied the Governor of Ireland.

Charles I was quite satisfied. He saw that among the Irish Leicester, there were Englishmen who moved to Ireland, and Irish people, whose combat power might be between the English militia and the knights.

"The Scottish vowed army has 20,000, while the Irish army has only 10,000. Overall, we are still at a disadvantage. The number of our King's army is smaller than that of the parliamentary army, and the situation is not optimistic." Astley said to Sun Chuanting.

"The way of playing with a large number of people and a large number of people, and the way of playing with a small number of people is never dead. The Irish Legion has been suppressing the rebellion in Ireland for a long time, and should be better at fighting than the English militia who have experienced a long period of peace." Sun Chuanting said.

"Indeed, the Ireland area is more deserted, and the local people should be more combat-effective." Astley said.

The Irish Legion landed in England and joined the king's camp, which caused quite a lot of panic in England, and the parliamentary army was greatly shocked.

They originally occupied the main harbor and formed a blockade against the King's army. However, a harbor was captured by Prince Rupert. Prince Rupert's reputation increased the fear of the parliamentary army. They shrank their troops and increased their defense against the city of London. The parliamentary army could not wait to invite the Scottish pledge army to enter England early.

In February of that year, the snow had not yet melted, and the commander-in-chief of the Scottish Vow Army, who was appointed Earl of Levin by Charles I, led 21,000 people south to attack the northern counties that supported the king, causing the northern counties to be in crisis.

The places that support the king are the north and the west. If the north falls, then the king's army will only have a quarter of the basic structure left.

Territory is very important to the king and the parliament. Land rent is the main income to support war. The less territory the worse the king. The balance between the king and the parliament is because the counties that support the king and the parliament are in the 55th. There are only two ways to break this balance. One way is to directly take the other's mind, such as Charles I, Sun Chuanting, Astley, and Prince Rupert want to force the landing of the parliamentary army by capturing the city of London where the parliament is located. Another way is to seize the other's territory to form an absolute advantage and force the other party to give up resistance.

It is obvious that the king wanted to choose the first way to end the war, and the parliament chose the second way.

The Irish Legion and the Scottish Vowed Army entered England one after another. This was no longer just a civil war in England, but a war of the Three Kingdoms!

"The oath army has 21,000 people. Some nobles and squire in the north who supported the parliament and squire rose up after the Scottish pledge army entered the country. We supported the pledge army. Our basic structure in the north is in danger. Among them, the 6,000 people led by Sir Fairfax, the 3,000 cavalry led by Cromwell, tried to block Yorkshire and prepare to join forces with the Scottish pledge army to conquer Yorkshire." Arist pointed to the location of Yorkshire on the map.

Yorkshire is very important to the King's Army, and it is the base camp of the King's Army in the north. If Yorkshire falls, it is obvious that the King's Army's power will be compromised.

"The combat intentions of the parliamentary army are already very obvious. The Scottish Vowed Army went south from the north, and they went north from the south to form a siege against Yorkshire. Once they cut off the threat of Yorkshire, they could cross-border Oxfordshire through Lincolnshire from the north and east to attack us." Prince Rupert said.

Now the commander of the King's Army has become Astley, Prince Rupert serves as the commander-in-chief of the cavalry, and Sun Chuanting serves as the deputy commander. The three of them almost control the King's Army.

"Now we can choose to attack London City directly, or go north to support York City." Charles I also participated in the discussion.

"If you attack London City directly and cannot conquer it, the other party may go south to rescue London City after pulling out York City. With the dissatisfaction of the people of London City with your king, they may vow to defend London City to the death, and it will be difficult for us to conquer London City. When the Scottish army in the north arrives, we will be in crisis. My suggestion is to go north to support York City, defeat the parliamentary army and the pledge army in the north, and then go south with the victory." Sun Chuanting put forward his own idea.

"Sun Chuanting, you and Rupert led 18,000 people north to Yorkshire. Sun Chuanting served as interim commander-in-chief, Leicester served as deputy commander-in-chief, Rupert served as deputy commander-in-chief, Wilmot served as deputy commander-in-chief of the cavalry, leaving 10,000 people for Astley. Astley and I personally defended Oxford City and dragged the parliamentary army in London." Charles I delegated power at this time and wanted to divide troops to go to Yorkshire in the north like the parliament to fight.

It was determined to be the Parliamentary Army. After the Scottish Legion fought in the north, the King's Army temporarily separated its forces. Sun Chuanting cooperated with the young Prince Rupert and led 18,000 people to the north!

This northbound legion consists of 12,000 people trained by Sun Chuanting, and then selects 6,000 elite troops from the Irish Legion and King's Army to form the Northern Legion of the King's Army.

Astray, Charles I and Astley led the weaker King's Army to continue to occupy Oxfordshire and threaten the city of London!

"Would it be strange if the Orientals serve as the commander-in-chief, or if he could convince the public?" Ireland Governor Lester heard that Sun Chuanting was the commander-in-chief of the King's Army, and he was just the deputy commander, and he couldn't help but doubt his abilities.

"He helped train a new army of 12,000 people this winter. Through strict training, everyone obeyed the orders, so everyone was in awe of him and everyone called him a wizard." Astley dispelled the concerns of the governor of Ireland.
