Chapter 462 600,000 Western Coalition Army

The Western coalition forces have already been dispatched, and the total number has reached 600,000.

Ottoman troops: The long-range projection army consisted of 70,000 firearms and 30,000 crossbowmen, including 20,000 riflemen and a lot of breech artillery. In addition to the firearms and crossbows, there were 150,000 cavalry and 50,000 iron canned armorers.

Although the total number of 300,000 troops is not much, it is already most of the elite of the Ottoman Empire.

The war to destroy Mongolia was sacred, and the Ottoman-hating Western European countries would not hold back at this time.

The army of the northern ** country is also 300,000 horses. But 100,000 new troops were enough to wipe out the Ottoman army of 300,000.

In addition to the main force of 100,000 rifles, Maozi also gathered 150,000 cavalry and 50,000 sword, gun and shield soldiers. Of the 150,000 cavalry, there were only 50,000 Cossack cavalry who were good at fighting. The Battle of the Black Sea ten years ago also annihilated most of the Cossack cavalry of the Northern ** country.

The myth of invincibility was shattered, and the Cossacks did not even dare to easily go to the battlefield. Seeing the rise of muskets, no matter how strong the cavalry was, it could only be a joke.

The 600,000 Western coalition troops rushed from the northern shore of the Black Sea. Simon also invested 600,000 men this time, of which 300,000 cavalry were responsible for attacking the logistics line of the coalition forces behind the rear. Simon's main force, 200,000 fire commanders, and 100,000 sword, gun, shield and archers, a total of 300,000 elites, defended Simon's royal city.

Simon had an army of 700,000, of which 300,000 were Mongols and 400,000 were warriors from various tribes of Central Asia. The 300,000 Mongolian soldiers were also divided into three, and the 100,000 cavalry who escorted the women and children to retreat were all relatively young Mongolian soldiers.

The Simon Kingdom has just been established for more than ten years, and if it is another five or six years, the second generation of the Mongols of the Simon Kingdom will also become adults, and then the Mongol soldiers alone will be able to completely subdue all the tribes in the Central Asian steppe.

The yellow race is too capable of giving birth, and the Mongolian people are not bad, since when Geldan planned to conquer the Shaha steppe, the Shaha tribes have lost half of their youth before and after, and the extra women have also become the trophies of the Mongolian soldiers.

At that time, the Shaha people invaded the Mobei grassland, and then they were also wiped out by the imperial armies with more than 300,000 troops. It was also because the empire destroyed the main force of the Shah tribe, otherwise the Simon Kingdom would not have conquered the Harsha steppe so quickly.

Of the 600,000 troops, there were 300,000 cavalry alone, and the cavalry led by Ramatai only held back for four days, and Simon's cavalry, which had suffered a lot of losses, could only retreat.

The Western coalition forces are getting closer and closer, and Geldan, who has read the letter, immediately relaxes!

"Good! Your empires are ready to send troops. The 100,000 people of the 03 Group Army also immediately approached the west, and it is estimated that they will be able to arrive in more than 20 days! Subsequently, 200,000 cavalry and 100,000 firearms soldiers from the two governorships in the northwest will also rush to support. ”

The new patriarch said, "Okay! There are 400,000 troops of the empire, and the bullshit coalition will be finished immediately! ”

Geldan nodded: "I believe that the 03 Legion will definitely be able to destroy Maozi's new army, but they will take more than twenty days at the earliest!" And Maozi also arrived a few days later, that is, we insisted on at least twenty days. ”

"Don't worry, Great Khan, I, Simon, have 300,000 elite soldiers sitting in the city, let alone twenty days, there will be no problem for a month." The elders of the three clans also said with certainty.

After a few days of marching, 600,000 allied troops also arrived at King Simon.

Looking at the city wall in the distance, Bursa immediately sneered. "Huh! Ten years later, the Mongols have built such a big city! ”

The low walls look ordinary, but the continuous stone and brick houses are dazzling.

The city of Simon, with a permanent population of 500,000, is almost the essence of the Simon Kingdom, which is also the reason why the princes of Simon are reluctant to withdraw from the army.

The Simon King City, which was built by the Imperial Construction Group, almost exhausted the old capital of the Simon Kingdom.

Gonov had a serious face, and he looked at a big city of this size.

"Dongshuai, let's rest for two days and start! There are nearly 300,000 cavalry on the left, and they are not just watching! ”

Bursa immediately nodded: "What the Grand Duke said is extremely true, we should fight quickly!" After a long delay, I had to return to the army to protect grain and grass materials. ”

"Don't worry, Simon will be destroyed in ten days at most! Most of the women and children who fled were from the Ottoman army! "I can't bear the child's wolf! In order to make the Ottomans compete with the empire, the northern ** country also had a lot of blood.

The army outside the city is boundless, and Geldan at the head of the city can't help but be frightened!

Although the wall at its foot is only four meters high, the outer layer is made of concrete, steel and stone. Even if it is 105 heavy artillery, it will take time to smash the city wall.

The city wall is four meters thick in total, and the inside is made of special squares, even if the one-meter-thick layer of stone and iron outside is blasted open, several layers of squares must be slowly blown away after that.

The enemy is like a sea of cotton, but the artillery on the head of the city is not bad. On the northern city wall alone, there are 300 hidden small guns, 100 simplified version of the Imperial 75 Mountain Cannon, and 30 simplified version of the 105 heavy cannon.

The performance of these guns is the same as the new guns of Western European countries today, and even many places are copycats of Western Europe.

The empire does not export rifles because the main army also needs them, and the empire also has to stock up on ammunition, but there is no surplus to sell out.

"Those artillery pieces are a nuisance, it seems that tomorrow let the artillery fire for two days!" Seeing the barrels of cannons on those batteries, Grand Duke Gonov couldn't help frowning!

Condescending artillery, easier to aim at them!

"Well, that's fine! Our coalition forces have twice as many artillery than theirs! One day was enough to smash their batteries. "Bursa also has a dignified look, but he doesn't care.

Grand Duke Gonov nodded faintly, the disdain in his eyes shining through as if he were actualized.

Sensing the Grand Duke's ignorance, Bursa Lidong Shuai was also secretly happy.

……

After saying goodbye to his parents, the second prince Chen Shencheng also rushed to the 03 Legion with his 100th Battle Peng Guard.

It had only been two days since he followed the army, and when he set up camp in the afternoon, the second prince couldn't help but say: "Commander Zhu Xin, otherwise, we will rush to Simon King City by Zhan Pengwei first, and there are two hundred Zhan Pengwei who can also kill and stop the Western Coalition Army."

Zhu Xin nodded first, and then said: "What the second prince said is extremely true, but the prince's Zhan Pengwei will not participate in the war at will. This battle will make the Simon Kingdom suffer a heavier loss! After all, the strength of Simon's kingdom is the best among all the vassals! ”

The 03 Legion has more than 20,000 war ox carts, and the fastest march can travel 300 miles a day, and if it accelerates, it can reach the Simon Kingdom in half a month. But they didn't do it either, the too powerful Simon Kingdom was not conducive to the stability of the empire.

Chen Shencheng was not stupid, he immediately understood the meaning. "Hey! It seems that I have been here for half a month early! ”

It's not a tour along the way, Zhu Xin also said: "The second prince can take the Zhanpeng team and go to Heihai South City first!" It is estimated that Simon's Prime Minister Tholl and they should also arrive. ”

Chen Shencheng smiled: "It's okay!" There are two hundred battles of Pengwei, and the father and queen mother will not have any opinions! ”

In front of outsiders, the two princes are all called father, queen mother, and when there are no outsiders, they will call their parents, father, mother, etc......
