Chapter 668: Crusade against the Golden Horde

"Swedish King Gustav II, led an army of 70,000 Sweden, and attacked St. Petersburg again! The Grand Duke of Lithuania was forced to send out 50,000 to assist Gustav!"

In Moscow City, Ekaterina assembled an army of half a million, preparing to conquer the Golden Horde and completely destroy the Golden Horde. Many of the 500,000 troops are newly recruited soldiers or the armies of aristocratic feudal lords from all over the world.

However, the scout deployed by Ekaterina in the Kingdom of Sweden witnessed the expedition led by Gustav II, and the target was directed towards St. Petersburg!

"The Northern Master Intervened in the Great War!"

The nobles of the Grand Duchy of Moscow are panicking.

Gustav’s firearms almost represent the top level of the Western Continent, and the only weakness is estimated to be that Gustav’s military strength has not been much.

"Gustav is far more capable than Bleda, and we must fight quickly."

Ekaterina learned that Gustav II had officially intervened in the war, so she brought the little duke from St. Petersburg to the relatively safe city of Moscow.

She left a hundred thousand defenders in St. Petersburg and ordered residents of villages and towns around St. Petersburg to seek refuge in St. Petersburg.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow also has a fleet in the Baltic Sea.

St. Petersburg is currently the only accessible sea port in the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

Some northern cities were occupied by Gustav when Ekaterina had no time to visit, and St. Petersburg became the next city to be attacked by the Kingdom of Sweden.

"You are based in St. Petersburg, should you want to build a fleet to occupy Northern Europe?"

Chu Tian thought that the center of Ekaterina's rule had always been St. Petersburg, not Moscow, and quickly realized Ekaterina's intentions.

Obviously, Ekaterina was always making trouble everywhere, offending the Kingdom of Sweden and the Federation of Persia and Lithuania.

Now Attila drags the enemies of the Grand Duchy of Moscow into war, and Gustav has not refused at all.

"Don't worry, I have been in St. Petersburg for a few years, and the popularity has reached 95. Gustaf, he cannot capture St. Petersburg as soon as possible."

Ekaterina was confident in the defenders of St. Petersburg.

Chu Tian counted the troops used by Ekaterina. There were 100,000 defenders in St. Petersburg, 50,000 defenders in Moscow, 50,000 defenders in Smolensk, and 500,000 troops used to attack the Golden Horde, just these. The legion has 700,000!

This does not include the defensive forces of other cities.

It can be seen that the city of Moscow was approached by soldiers, which completely angered the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and Ekaterina directly chose to explode and smash the Golden Horde.

No need to say more about the fate of angering Maozi.

"Lend me fifty thousand Cossack cavalry."

There are less than 40,000 high-ranking cavalry of the Han army and 30,000 servants in Chutian, and he borrowed 50,000 Cossack cavalry from Ekaterina.

The Cossack cavalry is the czar's eagle dog, and Chu Tian is now somewhat accustomed to using the Cossack cavalry as a light cavalry.

"No problem, a Cossack hero from the Don River recently turned to me, Yermak, I will assign him to your command."

Ekaterina borrowed troops readily.

She currently controls more than one hundred thousand Cossack cavalry. As long as the "Tsar-Catherine II" feature is activated, Cossack cavalry will come from all over the world.

Chu Tian's troops swelled to 120,000, most of them cavalry.

Yelmak, the Cossack leader who conquered Siberia, was temporarily under the command of Chutian.

The war of annihilation with the Golden Horde actually took place in the southern part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, so the supply pressure was relatively small.

"Tomorrow, an army of 500,000 will go south and completely wipe out the Golden Horde."

Ekaterina is determined.

The army of 500,000 is just war soldiers. In addition to war soldiers, there are millions of civilians transporting grain, grass and weapons.

The day before the expedition, thousands of nobles gathered outside Moscow rewarded the army and boosted morale. The 500,000 army knew that the next day would go south to crusade against the mighty Golden Horde, so they feasted.

"Yermak, by order of the Grand Duke, follow your orders."

The Don Cossack leader Yelmak, and the other four Don Cossack leaders, came to Chutianzhang to give orders. Each of them is in charge of 10,000 Cossack cavalry.

Yermak's identity background is the Cossack robbers of the Don, looting merchants, and he has a gangster aura.

"All the cavalry have enough food and drink, you just follow my orders."

Chu Tian thought about his command value, because there is Sun Bin's special auxiliary bonus, so Chutian's legion, suitable for 96 command value, provides bonuses to 120,000 cavalry, should not be a problem.

The abilities of the Cossack cavalry heroes do not know how, Chutian estimated that Yermak and the others are far worse than his own bonus to the cavalry, but when they want to separate the Cossack cavalry to fight alone, it is estimated that not many people perform better than these Cossack cavalry leaders.

Even if they are about to fight soon, these Cossacks remain optimistic, and at the same time, they are enthusiastically serving for the future tsar.

In addition to the Cossack cavalry, the soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Moscow were even more aggressive, holding tons of wine barrels and tons of excitement before the Golden Horde crusades south.

"If the Golden Horde is destroyed this time, with the prestige of the Grand Duke, it is estimated that he will become the Tsar."

"As long as we people gain military merit and prestige in the battle to destroy the Golden Horde, and the Grand Duchy becomes an empire, we will be heroes."

The nobles of the Grand Duchy of Moscow actively responded to Ekaterina’s call, not only because of Ekaterina’s personal prestige, but they were also seeking a high position in the Russian Empire.

The Roman Republic intends to be promoted to the Roman Empire, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow also intends to be promoted to the Tsarist Empire.

"In this battle, I have won more heads than you."

"Among the Vikings, except for those one or two, no one's force is my opponent."

"There are more powerful people in Viking?"

"Don't underestimate the Vikings."

Dianwei, Chutian's guard, was competing with Ekaterina's guard Harald. There were still a few empty barrels beside the two of them, and they were obviously competing for each other's alcohol not long ago.

The two have been competing with each other for some time, fighting against the Golden Horde, and comparing who can win more heads.

Xiao Chuo is sought after by the Cossack cavalry. She also has the characteristic of accelerating the sinicization of nomadic tribes, and her personal charm has a high influence on nomadic tribes and fishing and hunting tribes.

"Dmitry of the Don, Nevsky of the Glacier, and several grand princes, their army is similar to the decimal system of the Mongolian cavalry. The cavalry here is more like the eastern cavalry, but also has some Byzantine styles. ."

Chu Tian was observing the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. These cavalry were somewhat similar to those of Central Asia and West Asia, and even had the shadow of Mongolian cavalry.

The characteristics and style of a civilization are easily influenced by surrounding civilizations.

The Golden Horde had a great influence on the Grand Duchy of Moscow in history, so the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow more or less imitated the Mongolian cavalry.

"Master, this group of Cossack cavalry, their high-level, luxurious and greedy, the low-level soldiers, poor and brave."

Hua Mulan followed Chu Tian, ​​and she was also observing the Cossack cavalry as Chu Tian's temporary subordinate.

Xiao Chuo hugged Mulan from the rear and frightened Mulan: "Let me guess. The Grand Duke of Moscow issued salaries to the upper Cossacks and entrusted the land. These upper Cossacks controlled the Cossack army, and then drove and deceived the Cossack cavalry at the bottom. , The consolidated rule of the Grand Duke of Moscow, used them as cannon fodder to expand around."

"Xiao Chuo...!"

"Good sister, I will let go."

Hua Mulan felt helpless when Xiao Chuo pleased herself.

Xiao Chuo realized that he wanted to enter the Palace of Xia, but also tried to win Mulan.

"She's right. This is... the czar's method of enslaving the Cossack cavalry, so the upper class of the Cossack cavalry is extravagant and corrupt, but the lower cavalry has good combat effectiveness. Of course, there are also many uprisings of the Cossack cavalry."

Chu Tian praised Xiao Chuo's vision, Hua Mulan was not as good as Xiao Chuo for enslaving the servant army.

"Why don't you give me a team of Cossacks?"

"No way."

Chu Tian refused Xiao Chuo's request. Before she promised her loyalty, it was impossible to allow her to lead troops, otherwise she would lead troops to join the Golden Horde, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chu Tian still remembered that in the battle of the Ili River Valley, Temuzhen was defeated by the Wusun cavalry who rebelled. Xiao Chuozhen wanted to rebel, and he was more destructive than the Wusun cavalry.

"Humph……"

Xiao Chuo found that Chu Tian still didn't trust him, and there was no other way. People under the eaves have to bow their heads.

Chu Tian asked her to guarantee loyalty, but her hidden ambition was not low, and her heart was not very willing to give in.

Ekaterina took the little duke to patrol the various legions, 500,000 troops, and used hundreds of heroes.

The next day, an army of half a million was deployed one after another, marching to the Golden Horde!

The number of the army is extremely large, the battle flag covers the sky!

After Ekaterina distributed the 50,000 Cossack cavalry to Chutian, there was still a 450,000 army left, with 50,000 as the vanguard and 200,000 as the Chinese army. There were 100,000 army on the left and right.

Chutian's 120,000 cavalry is cruising outside as a surprise soldier.

Ukrainian Cossack leader Khmelnitsky led the Cossack cavalry as the vanguard.

"The main force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow went south, known as the five million army."

"Chu Zimou is bluffing again, they are at most only one-tenth of their claimed strength."

The half-million army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow has been deployed, and Temujin has been informed.

There will always be a group of players or hawkers who sell information about the number of people for profit.

Chu Tian claimed to be an army of five million, and he did not scare Temujin.

"This time, fight to the death with Chu Zimou and Ekaterina! If you stop, take the opponent's vanguard and come back!"

Behind Temujin, densely packed Mongolian cavalry and servant army cavalry crossed Temujin and entered the Don River again.

The Golden Horde has no extra food and grass, and must defeat the 500,000 army as soon as possible.

As Temujin's vanguard general, Subutai has already focused on the cavalry of the Cossack hero Khmelnitsky.
