Chapter 670: The feared enemy (2 in 1)

"Teutonic Knights, we should go."

Hohenzollern enlisted five thousand high-rank Teutonic knights, tens of thousands of knight servants, and an army of 200,000 other German princes to march from Brandenburg to the Kingdom of Poland controlled by the Hungarian Empire.

The black cross flags, shields and breastplates of the Teutonic Knights converge into a black torrent.

The Teutonic Knights have strict levels. The formal knights are the core backbone of the Knights. These are the real high-ranking cavalry units. After each knight has money, he can purchase better equipment on his own. In addition, each knight has a special servant, which belongs to the low-rank cavalry. Not only that, Hohenzollern also has a large number of pikemen, crossbowmen, and archers formed by citizens and farmers.

"The Knights Templar, it seems to be with the French lord, and the Knights of the Hospital, on the island of Malta, fell into the hands of the Romans?"

When Hohenzollern saw the black torrent of Teutonic Knights, he couldn't help thinking of the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospital.

The Teutonic Knights, the Knights Templar, and the Knights Hospitaller are the three major knights in Europe.

In Vienna, Austrian Archduke Ferdinand led the 200,000 Austrian-Hungarian coalition forces to cooperate with Hohenzollern to attack Attila's sphere of influence from the north.

Macedonia and Rome launched an offensive from the south.

Throughout the Western Continent, more than three million armies fought!

The scale of this battle that swept over half of the Western Continent was exaggerated compared to the Battle of Mobei, because apart from Rome, other civilizations fought at home, and the supply pressure was not as good as the Han Empire Expeditionary Force, so it was able to mobilize more troops. .

For a while, players in the Western Continent were panicked. Many players in the Western Continent evacuated to other cities to avoid the battle between the two camps. The number of players who fled from the Hungarian Empire was as many as one million.

Outside of St. Petersburg, a viscount led a Boyer cavalry patrolling the sea.

"Viking warship!"

A Boyer cavalry exclaimed, in the sea fog, the dragon head warship emerged!

"Use the longbow to prevent them from landing!"

The Viscount of the Grand Duchy of Moscow realized that if the Vikings were allowed to come to land, they would have to fight the Vikings head-on. If among this group of Viking pirates, there are high-level Viking berserkers, then the Boyer cavalry, who is also a high-level unit, is in danger!

Part of the Boyer cavalry dismounted, the front row of Boyer cavalry armed with shields and spears, forming a wall, the cavalry behind took off their longbows and watched nervously at the approaching Viking warship.

The fast and agile Viking warship abandoned the troops of the Kingdom of Sweden, quietly appeared on the coast near St. Petersburg, and then rushed to the beach!

"Follow me and kill all powerful enemies!"

Olaf I, the Viking king, raised his battle axe high and ordered his warship to attack the coast!

The Viking Berserkers of the Umus battle group followed the king of the Viking civilization, yelling, wielding tomahawks, jumping into the water of the shallows, and wading to attack the Boyer cavalry lined up on the shore!

The Boyer cavalry fired arrows, and the arrow rain broke through the air, covering the Umus battle group that hit the coast!

Several Viking berserkers were shot by a rain of arrows and fell into the sea, splashing water.

Boyer cavalry is also a high-ranking cavalry, with amazing bow and arrow damage, as long as it hits the key, you can also shoot the Viking Berserkers of the Umes!

"I will fight myself!"

The Viking warship ran aground and shook violently. Olaf I jumped into the sea with an axe, and slammed to the sea with his axe, and slashed with the axe. All the arrows he shot were shot by Olaf.

Hundreds of high-ranking Viking berserkers successfully smashed to the beach with Olaf. Among them, the first row of berserkers threw their tomahawks vigorously. The tomahawks spun through the air at high speed, piercing the small shields of the Boyer cavalry, and directly killed the shields located Boyer cavalry in the rear!

At least thirty Boyer cavalry were killed by the tomahawk thrown by the Viking Berserkers!

The dismounting Boyer cavalry formed chaos. The Viscount led the rest of Boyer cavalry to attack the Viking Berserkers on war horses, trying to drive the barbarians back into the sea.

The number of Boyer cavalry is about eight hundred. Under the leadership of a viscount, he took the initiative to launch a heroic charge against Olaf I’s hundreds of Umus regiments!

The heroes and soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Moscow are also quite aggressive in a sense.

Olaf and Youmus took the initiative to enter a violent state, holding a battle axe, and shaking the feudal noble cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow from the front!

The horse galloped, Olaf stood still, and the axe directly split a Boyer cavalry horse in half. The Boyer cavalry on horseback fell heavily to the ground, and he was greeted by the blade of the Viking Berserker!

About an hour later, the Viscount fled back to St. Petersburg with the remnants of the Boyer cavalry. The ground was full of war horses, discarded armors and shields.

The exhausted Umus warrior stood proudly on the battlefield, killing about four hundred Boyer cavalry.

More Viking fighters came ashore after the victory of Olaf and Umus. There were as many as thousands.

Not all civilized Viking soldiers are berserkers. Viking warriors are also strong and weak.

Ekaterina recruited Harald, the hero of the Viking civilization through the national war. His Varangian Guard is one of the top arms of the Viking civilization.

Olaf's Umus battle group is also elite, in addition to the Umus battle group, Olaf also brought ordinary Viking warriors.

Ordinary Viking fighters are not high-level arms.

"Wash all the surrounding villages and towns and get supplies before His Majesty the King arrives!"

Olaf is a murderous man, looting villages and towns near St. Petersburg without any psychological burden.

He could already see not far away, the towering walls and towers of St. Petersburg, a fortress built by Ekaterina to conquer Nordic civilization.

Among the Viking pirates, the powerful Umus battle group swept around St Petersburg, razing surrounding villages to the ground.

"How many Viking warriors did Gustav bring? How many members of the Umus clan?"

The people of St. Petersburg were panicked, and the brutal Olaf and Umus battle groups were notorious. St. Petersburg became the last city in the north to block the northern army.

...

"Youmus battle group, they participated in the attack on St. Petersburg. I didn't expect Gustav to subdue the Viking pirates active in Northern Europe."

Ekaterina, who commanded the army to enter the Don River Basin, received intelligence from the defenders of St. Petersburg. She already knew that the legendary Viking hero Olaf and the Umus battle group were loyal to King Gustav of Sweden and jointly attacked St. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg is facing greater pressure than imagined. Gustav’s Firearms Corps, Duke Vytautas’ Polish-Lithuanian cavalry, Olaf’s Umus regiment are all powerful forces in the Western Continent.

"The Battle of Umus, is it the King Knut of the Viking civilization, the legion that conquered England?"

Chu Tian is still following Ekaterina's actions. He has heard of the Vikings' Battle of Umus. The Umus battle group once conquered England, and the Viking hero Knut King was once the common king of Northern Europe and England.

The abilities of the Umus battle group are similar to that of the Varangian Guard.

"If the Umus battle group gets on first and then enters a violent state, it will be extremely difficult to defend St. Petersburg..."

Chu Tian could fully imagine how much psychological pressure the Viking Berserkers of the Umus battle group would put on the defenders when they stepped on the walls of St. Petersburg.

"We can only choose to believe in the defenders of St. Petersburg. On our side, we need to speed up the elimination of the Golden Horde."

Ekaterina is also under tremendous pressure.

"I lead the cavalry and act alone."

Chu Tian personally commanded 120,000 cavalry soldiers, separated from Yekaterina's army at night, marching from another direction, not to have a plan.

Fifty thousand Cossack cavalry and a small number of Han cavalry were regarded as decoys by Chutian. Under the leadership of five Don Cossack leaders, they disguised as Han cavalry and marched towards the King City of the Golden Horde of Salai.

The number of these Cossack cavalry is almost the same as the number of Han cavalry brought by Chutian, so they can confuse the line of sight.

Ekaterina’s 450,000 army quickly advanced to the Golden Horde, compressed the living space of the Golden Horde, and forced the main force of the Golden Horde to fight decisively.

The Cossack leader Khmelnitsky had already fought against the Mongolian cavalry of Sufutai. Khmelnitsky was destroyed by Sufutai, and more than three thousand Cossack cavalry were killed!

After Khmelnitsky's defeat, he began to retreat to meet Ekaterina.

The Golden Horde has assembled the remaining forces of the Mobei Mongol Empire, which is not what it used to be.

"Subutai, his cavalry is extremely fierce! My Cossack cavalry, in front of his cavalry, is simply vulnerable!"

When Khmelnitsky fought against the Golden Horde under Chutian’s command, he had not yet felt the terrifyingness of Temujin and Subutai. When he led the Cossack cavalry to fight Subutai alone, he discovered Subutai. He is simply the devil.

Subutai was not very strong in the previous battles, purely because Chutian's cavalry bonus was almost the same, or even worse.

Khmelnitsky's cavalry was not as fast as the speed and was defeated by the speed.

"You only lost three thousand Cossacks, which has exceeded my expectations."

Contrary to Khmelnitsky's expectation, Ekaterina, the master of the Cossack cavalry, who ruled the fate of the Cossack cavalry did not mean to blame him, but forgave him for his defeat.

Ekaterina recalled dozens of military commanders, holding a parchment map in her hand.

The initiative is in her hands, and she tries to find a suitable place to fight the Golden Horde.

"This field on the left bank of the Don River is a swampland, with dense jungles, ravines, and often heavy fog. It is not suitable for the great cavalry of the Alloy Horde. You can try to fight Temujin, Subutai, and Shuchi. , Batu and others lured to this wilderness for a decisive battle."

"The Golden Horde is best at using the powerful cavalry on both wings to encircle and annihilate the enemy from the front and the side. If the army of the Golden Horde can be lured to the swamp, it will suppress the Golden Horde's cavalry advantage to the greatest extent."

Ekaterina's finger moved to the parchment map, the location of the left bank of the Don River.

At this time, the Grand Duchy of Moscow still has quite complex and reckless terrain.

The Polish wing cavalry hero Batori pondered, and asked his lord: "How to bring the Golden Horde into the battle here?"

Ekaterina looked at Sun Bin, the military adviser left by Chutian: "I have considered with the counsel of the East, sacrificing some troops and horses, and introducing Temujin and Subutai into the decisive battle site."

"So my Cossack cavalry, their sacrifice is also to attract Temujin and Subutai?"

Khmelnitsky thought of the three thousand Cossack cavalry men he had sacrificed, which turned out to be the price that Ekaterina had to pay in order to defeat Temujin and Sutai.

In the eyes of the future Tsar, the Cossack cavalry is a bargaining chip comparable to the feudal cavalry, but it is only a bargaining chip. When needed, the Cossack cavalry will be a qualified cannon fodder.

"War has a price."

Ekaterina was outside, unrelenting.

Chutian went to ambush, and Sun Bin left the layout. He found that Khmelnitsky’s loyalty might be reduced because of this, so he supported Ekaterina: “If the Golden Horde cannot be defeated, the Cossacks rely on it. The surviving Don and Volga valleys were occupied by the Golden Horde. The Cossack cavalry who sacrificed were for their tribe’s future survival."

After hearing Sun Bin's explanation, Khmelnitsky looked slightly better.

"Khmelnitsky, I know this is cruel, but this is war. In the next war, soldiers from all tribes and city-states will be killed, tens of thousands of deaths and injuries, three thousand Cossack cavalry, just the price One. As a subject of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, it is a thousand times better to sacrifice honorably than to live in shame! My legion never knows what surrender and retreat are! Expedition means there is no retreat. If nothing is done, then It's better not to come back at all!"

"If no one has any more opinions, then we will fight Temujin and Sufutai to the death in the swamp area. The Golden Horde has assembled a large army of millions. In fact, among their soldiers, there are a large number of herdsmen who are indiscriminately. Their food and grass cannot last long, and it should be them who desperately want a decisive battle."

"After the Golden Horde is destroyed, with the prestige of our Grand Duchy of Moscow, it will become the Tsarist Empire. I will treat all tribes equally."

Ekaterina’s tone is undoubted, with a faint aura of a high position. As the leader of the Cossacks, Khmelnitsky knew that he had accidentally provoked the authority of the future czar, and humbly showed his weakness to the future czar: "Please Forgive me, the great Ekaterina."

"In the name of the Grand Duke of Moscow, I forgive you for your rudeness."

Ekaterina looked around the generals, and everyone bowed their heads slightly. She knew that the establishment of the Tsarist Russian Empire was not far away.

Perhaps, just after this battle.

Subutai’s cavalry entered the Don River Basin, and Mu Huali’s horse-exploring pioneer general, Bulihe Batuer, led a team of horse-exploring red cavalry as Subutai’s eyes and ears.

The horse-traveling red cavalry was unscrupulous in the Don River Basin, and the Golden Horde summoned a million cavalry to fight against Ekaterina's 500,000 army, which on the surface has the advantage of military strength!

However, only the top leaders of both sides know that the Grand Duchy of Moscow has not yet exhausted its national strength. Even if it is defeated, it will still have a large population and financial resources. The Golden Horde has exhausted its national strength, and once it fails, it will be forever.

"It can't fail again. The Golden Horde will perish again, so there will only be a piece of Central Asia with a population of only 20 to 30 million. How to compete with the Han Empire..."

Speed ​​did not repel the Cossack hero Khmelnitsky, but still frowned.

Khmelnitsky's Cossack cavalry was just the vanguard of the opponent, and Khmelnitsky saw that the situation was not good, and immediately led the Cossack cavalry to flee, and Subutai only captured three thousand Cossack cavalry at a time.

With the ability to speed up, if Khmelnitsky is stubborn, maybe 50,000 Cossack cavalry will be wiped out by speed up.

The military commander Buli Habaduer was riding a Dawan horse with a war eagle on his shoulder, and he came forward to report to Shubutai: "General, the scout at the front of the horse, has detected Ekaterina. Traces of the army!"

Subutai was really moved at this time. Ekaterina’s army consisted of Varangian Guards, Boyer Cavalry, Polish Winged Cavalry, Cossack Cavalry, and the hidden main force that Ekaterina didn’t use much-the Tsar. Guard.

Ekaterina can hold on to many powerful enemies alone, unify the Duchy of Russia, put the Grand Duchy of Moscow on the right track, and will soon be upgraded to the Tsarist Empire, which naturally has the foundation.

The Tsarist Guard has been defending in the city of Moscow, the battle of Mobei, Moscow is surrounded by powerful enemies, Yekaterina dare not transfer the Tsarist Guard to Mobei.

And this time, Ekaterina finally used this hidden legion.

The Tsarist Guard is somewhat similar to the Shenji Camp established by Emperor Yongle.

"The main force of Ekaterina, what is their marching route?"

"The main force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow marched along the right bank of the Don River, with about half a million people."

"The right bank of the Don?"

Speed ​​is not for people to get a map.

The left bank of the Don River borders the sphere of influence of the Hungarian Empire, and the right bank of the Don River is more secure for the main forces of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but the price paid is that the military of the Grand Duchy of Moscow cannot cut off the connection between the Hungarian Empire and the Golden Horde .

"If Attila can provide another cavalry, maybe as long as one hundred thousand cavalry, appear on the left bank of the Don, and then cross the Don, then we will pinch the main force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and win in one fell swoop."

Subutai thought of Attila occupying the left bank of the Don.

Attila didn't know if he could divide his troops.

Subutai is eager for Attila to take the lead in solving the enemy from the east. As long as one hundred thousand cavalry of the Hungarian Empire suddenly appears on the left bank of the Don River, it will definitely cause panic among the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

"Try to ask Attila for help. He is the first to help our Golden Horde win. Our Golden Horde can send out half a million cavalry to help him defeat Alexander in return."

Subutai still tried to ask Attila for one hundred thousand cavalry, and at a critical moment, from the left bank of the Don River, raided the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

The matter reported by Bulihebatuer has not yet come to an end: "The general, and a cavalry of about 50,000 troops, marched quickly along the left bank of the Don River. They separated from the army and marched alone, and they were far from the main force. More than a hundred miles, and the distance is still widening. At the end, he suspects that this is Chu Zimou's Han cavalry. He wants to...sneak attack on the city of Salei."

Subutai's complexion changed again. Chutian and Ekaterina divided their forces and led 50,000 Han cavalry marches alone. Most of them were the same as Bulihebatu's guess. Chutian planned to surprise the city of Salei.

The city of Sarai was established in the Volga River Basin, and the defensive capacity of the city wall cannot be compared with that of Moscow City.

Chutian's sneak attack on Saleh City is likely to be successful, but if Speed ​​does not attack Moscow City, it is difficult to quickly surpass the Moscow city wall.

Subutai closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes: "But he has only 50,000 people. As long as he sweats Muhuali, Timur, and Ba, stay in Salei City, plus 300,000 cavalry defenders. , Then Chu Zimou will fall into the sand. We still have 700,000 cavalry and herdsmen."

"Tell Da Khan all this."

Subutai is only Temujin's first general, and the specific ruling depends on Temujin's meaning.

In the rear of the vanguard cavalry of the Speed ​​Tower, the cavalry of the Golden Horde was overwhelming. Wherever the horse went, there was no grass.

All the cattle and sheep of the Golden Horde were forcibly conscripted by Temujin's cavalry, and they exhausted all the national power of the Golden Horde, and went northward with all their strength to decide the victory or defeat with Ekaterina.

"Badu, you led 300,000 cavalry and herdsmen to stay in the city of Sarai, and use your life to guarantee that before we defeat the main force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, you will not let the city of Sarai fall."

Temujin left his grandson Batu to defend the city.

Temuzhen’s grandchildren also had many powerful figures, such as Batu of the Golden Horde, Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, and Xu Liewu of the Ili Khanate.

Batu was solemn: "I will defend the city of Salai with my life and wait for the triumph of the sweat."

"Yelüchucai, you go to Attila and ask for a cavalry of 100,000 men to pressure the Grand Duchy of Moscow from the left bank of the Don River. If possible, seize the important land on the left bank of the Don and force the Grand Duchy of Moscow to engage in a field diplomatic war. ."

Temujin considered the suggestion that the speed was not set, and then asked Attila for a cavalry, intending to take the lead in solving the Eastern threat.

As the chief civil minister, Yelu Chucai was sent to the Hungarian Empire.

Temujin used all the power of the Golden Horde, and he couldn't wait for a decisive battle.

Ekaterina faced pressure from the north and had to fight as quickly as possible.

Both sides are trying to win the war.

"The whole army will go north to meet the army of Ekaterina!"

After Temujin made the deployment, there was no more hesitation.

Since both sides desperately want a decisive battle, they can only fight to the death.

The Golden Horde uses all its national power, and 700,000 cavalry is overwhelming, and many of them are herdsmen between the first and third tiers.

The four mastiffs of the Mongol Empire, apart from Subutai as the pioneer, Zhe Le Mi, Zhe Bie, and Kubelai followed Temujin.

Tie Muzhen also had Chi Laowen and Timur as the generals of Xue Xue, and his eldest son Shu Chi.

"Wait until Ekaterina is defeated, and then come back to deal with Chu Zimou, who has been delayed by the fight. Borhu, Borshu, I will avenge you!"

Tie Muzhen had a hatred of Chu Tian. Two important members of the Qi Xue army generals and his son-in-law died at the hands of Chu Tian’s generals and a Qi Xue army soldier talisman fell into Chu Tian. Hands.

The two people have hatred because of the struggle for hegemony, and they are in dire straits.

Chu Tian didn't give up the crusade because he fled to Eastern Europe. Instead, he persevered in crusting against Temuzhen, obviously wanting to end the troubles forever.

In the Hungarian Empire, Attila was somewhat similar to Temujin, and he had to embark on a military strategy.

These nomadic civilizations lack sufficient national power to conduct wars of attrition, and they must defeat powerful enemies as soon as possible.

Attila also mobilized a million troops, attempting to defeat Alexander at the cost of the Hun’s national fortune.

"Tie Mujin, he still wants a cavalry of 100,000 people? At his peak, an empire and four khanates were stronger than my empire and vassals. Why did he act so timidly? "

After listening to Yelu Chucai's intention, Attila couldn't help but wonder if she wanted to request a support army again.

Yelu Chucai knew that Temujin had already created a psychological shadow on Chu Tian, ​​but he could not say clearly: "We are sweating, he must be 100% sure to defeat the opponent, so he wants to ask your Majesty to send 100,000 cavalry to Cong Dun The left bank of the river threatens the main force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow."

Attila was silent: "I have arranged two big figures, Gustav and Vytautas, to assist you. If you have the confidence to destroy the Grand Duchy of Moscow within two or three months, I can promise Temujin."

Yelu Chucai lobbied: "A war can dominate the world, please don't doubt it."

Attila looked at Bleda: "Brada, you were frustrated in the east. This time, you led another 100,000 cavalrymen and stationed in villages and towns near the left bank of the Don River and obeyed Temujin's orders. One month at most. In September, this cavalry must come back. Faced with the pressure of Alexander, Caesar and others, it is hard to support me alone."

"I?"

Bleda was defeated by Chutian cavalry in a surprise attack in the Grand Duchy of Moscow. He still has a psychological shadow. Hearing that his younger brother, Emperor Attila of the Hungarian Empire, intends to let him go to the Grand Duchy of Moscow again, I can't help but feel frightened.

"Yes, stand up wherever you fail."

Attila's tone is beyond doubt.

"I... obey..."

Bleda knew that even if Attila was his own brother, Attila's order could not be refused, otherwise Attila would treat this as a provocation to himself, and even try to get rid of his own brother.

Breda reluctantly assembled 100,000 cavalry to help Temujin. UU reading www.uukANAnshu.com

"Damn, I don't want to fight with the cavalry in the Far East anymore."

Breda talked to herself before going out.

Chutian's cavalry seemed to be his nightmare.

Nevertheless, the front is the brutal Han cavalry, and the back is Attila, the whip of God, Brada is sandwiched between the two, and can only take one step and watch one step.

"Temujin seems to be afraid of me..."

Chu Tian was ambushing soldiers on the left bank of the Don River.

The 50,000 Han cavalry who quickly marched to the Golden Horde, mainly Cossack cavalry, and a small number of Han cavalry who arranged to enter the Cossack cavalry, forced Temujin to increase the strength of the remaining troops in the city of Salai. At the same time, a small number of Chutian's main cavalry disappeared, and the initiative was once again in his hands.

When his scout cavalry learned that Temujin had left 300,000 troops to defend the city in order to deal with 50,000 Cossack cavalry disguised as Han cavalry, Chu Tian knew that Temujin was afraid of him.

Fear will lead to defeat.
