Chapter 182: You Are All My Dogs
When the west wind blew away the wind and smoke on the battlefield, everyone's research was shocked!
Corpses littered the field....... It is no longer possible to describe the current tragic situation. All sorts of dark red and white substances that were placed everywhere, like the pigments of the earth, were piled up on the ground. Those who have lost part of their bodies, but are still alive, are still howling bitterly.......
Tens of thousands! Tens of thousands of men in the prime of life died in the war. A wall of corpses piled up in front of the infantry, not only terrified the Muscovites, but also embarrassed the Muscovites' command platform.
Is this war? This is a massacre!
Massacre!
The smell of blood is blowing, and Vasily II, who has been in and out of Moscow for a long time, has already smelled the smell of defeat.
"How's the war going?" Vasily II asked tremblingly.
The nobles were silent. They can't come up with any nice words to describe the current purgatory. Tens of thousands of crumbling grey cattle fled across the plains, while the cavalry had outflanked them.
"Death to those who resist." The call has been heard. Countless frightened strong men lay on the ground motionless.
It doesn't get any worse than that, and if there is, it's that cavalry is already approaching this side!
"Quick! Escort the Grand Duke back to Moscow! There's still something to be done! The boyars exclaimed, scrambling to the back. Vasily II was also pushed to the ground in a panic.
The northern half of Eastern Europe is largely forested. Therefore, once these Slavs are allowed to flee into the vast cold forests, it will be difficult to catch them again. And the road to Moscow after Kaluga is not easy. A large area is full of primeval forest.
It can be said that in Eastern Europe, where there are rivers, there are roads, and where there are villages, there must be rivers. It's an absolute connection.
When you think of Moscow, there are two roads, go around the southeast and go north to the Oka River, or take the Ugra River to the northwest, and then go east to the tributary of the Suzuravi River through the forest to reach Moscow.
The Moskva River, where Moscow is located, no longer seems to be a barrier to Moscow, but could destroy the ancient city that was once unknown.
The Tatar cavalry had never seen such a war. They were originally grazing cattle in the steppes of western Belgorod. When they heard that the Great Khan of the Terror had conscripted the tribes of the region, they rushed to the area. There were almost no vicious battles along the way, and wool coats were distributed for free, and at this moment, they were grateful to Qin Cang, so they grabbed the prisoners and never let go.
"Don't let go of any of them! These are the exact words of the Great Khan! ”
"Not one is allowed to go! Escape one, cut off a head! ”
The brutal order made the galloping Tatar cavalry even more encouraging to drive away the Slavs who were trying to flee.
The occasional passing by of the unchained plate knight made them envious. But if you want to join such a team, you have to go through a lot of hardships. It is said that many people could not bear to run away halfway, losing such a precious opportunity.
After envy, their spirit immediately returned to reality. Envy that armor, it is better to capture a few more captives so that you can get more rewards. It is said that Qin Cang was going to build a new city on this steppe without a city, right on the Samara River, or further north on the Uday River.
The galloping warriors extinguished the last hope of all. Most of the nobles were killed and wounded, and the rest did not dare to charge on horseback, so the cavalry of 40,000 people actually surrounded the remnants of nearly 90,000 soldiers.
"We ...... Are we finished?? Someone shouted in despair.
"It's reincarnation! Another reincarnation! Some people said with empty eyes.
"Don Koy ......."
Don Koy, refers to Demetrius, the son of Ivan II. On the Don River, he defeated the Tatar army and won an important battle against the Tatar rule.
Now there is no Don Koy. As for in Moscow? No one thought that the tall walls of the Kremlin in Moscow would be able to hold off the enemy. The artillery fire just now has extinguished countless resistances.
"Surrender!"
"Surrender!!"
Countless people shouted loudly. Surrender!
Vasily II lay on the ground in a decadent state, not knowing what to do.
It's over?
Is the Grand Duchy of Moscow finished? He couldn't see anything, and he still felt very confused. It's over......
The last commander of Moscow (just translated, meaning leader of the people, military commander) was abolished eighty years ago, so the power of military command has always been in the hands of the Grand Duke.
So the eyes of the nobles were on Vasily II.
How do you decide to keep Muscovy?
That's a problem.
Outside Muscovy, there were a large number of minor Grand Dukes surviving. They were subordinated to Moscow, such cities as Suzdal, Nizhny Novgorod, Vyatka (present-day Kirov). They were all independent Grand Dukes, nothing more than subservient to the Grand Dukes of Moscow.
Once Vasily II surrendered...... I am afraid that a large area of land in the east will be lost in an instant.......
"Surrender...... I personally ...... No, let him take my head, Moscow can't die! Let my son ...... Taking over Moscow....... "Vasily II made the most rational decision.
Soon, Vasily II was dragged in front of Qin Cang.
There was also a group of nobles who accompanied him.
Vasily II could not see it, but the nobles saw it.
Qin Cang was dressed in a black mink coat and sat on a throne of pure gold. On the chair post to his left, seven women were also tethered. The woman at the head, as many people know, the Queen of Poland, Elisabeth, behind her includes the wife of the Count of Poznań, the daughter of the Count of Poznań, the daughter of the Count of Sandomierz, and so on.
"Ah, my dogs, it's game over to rebel against your master?" Qin Cang's first words made the people present tremble!
Dog?
He described Muscovites as dogs.....
Actually, it's not bad. Muscovites were dogs who had been in the Golden Horde for 200 years before cultivating positive results and devouring their masters. And the small principalities that he devoured were probably the weakest of the dog pack.
Vasily II said weakly: "Yes..... Stupid dog .... Vasily knelt here and begged for the forgiveness of his master......."
Qin Cang kicked Elizabeth. Elizabeth threw a scimitar with a pale face.
"Kill yourself." Qin Cang said coldly.
Vasily II rubbed on the ground, grabbed the scimitar, and without thinking about it, stuck it in his throat.
He's dead.
Fell to the ground like a dead dog.
The Russian aristocrats in the back lay on the ground and trembled, like a pack of live dogs frightened mad.
"Hahaha! I just love you shivering! Not bad! Very good! Well, take me to Moscow now! ”
Qin Cang said with a laugh.
