Chapter 221: Three New Titles
Although Pugachev has carefully sent many spies into Kherson to investigate, those spies are either deceived by the disinformation of the Norman spies, or they have been bribed by the Norman spies, or they have simply stabbed them, tore off their faces, made human skin masks, and reported back to Pugachev.
Just like when I reported the situation just now, in fact, the real spy has already been killed by the Norman spy, and the one who will go out to assign the task is an impostor disguised as a high-ranking Norman spy, and the task he assigned is to select a group of people who are also dressed as Norman spies and directly deliver the news of the Cossacks to Kherson about the upcoming siege of the city.
Pugachev, who thought he was acting very carefully and was unaware, had actually been swayed by Norman spies, step by step, walking towards the cliff without knowing it.
In Kherson City, 75,000 people of the Six-Nation Alliance, plus the second and third hussar regiments secretly dispatched, add up to a total of 85,000 people, rounded up to 100,000 people, almost all of them are elite regular troops, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
Officers at all levels preferred to believe that they had something or not, and Randy also took the opportunity to issue an order for martial law, saying that it was inappropriate to say that Kherson was completely unprepared, and what were those Cossacks like against the Cossacks?
Although Pugachev had made up his mind to fight to the death with the Norman Empire, the Cossacks under his command did not think so, except for a few tribes with abnormal brains who were willing to follow him, the vast majority of the other tribes did not even contact him, afraid that the news would be revealed.
After Pugachev told the tribe about this, it also caused violent protests, under the protection of the Norman Empire, the life of the Zaporozhye Khanate was quite good during this time, and many Cossacks were afraid of the Norman Empire to varying degrees.
Although Pugachev repeatedly assured that there would be no problem with this attack, the Norman army had already left, and what we were going to attack was nothing more than an empty city, and it was also a transit point for the other party's supplies, all of which were good things, and you could eat and drink without worrying after grabbing this ticket, but there were still many Cossacks who were hesitating, and many old people in the group persuaded:
"Great Khan, even if we can capture Kherson without blowing any effort, do we really have the life to enjoy it? The Norman Empire was so powerful! The Norman Emperor would never allow us to survive, and your actions would bring disaster to all of us Cossacks. ”
Pugachev's face was red when he said this, and he knew in his heart that what the elder said was indeed reasonable, but if he didn't do this, the Cossacks would be fine, and he, the Great Khan, would die without a place to be buried.
But these words must not be spoken, and when the time comes, the Cossacks will definitely take their heads and give them to the Norman emperor.
"Old immortal, rely on yourself to live two more years, don't talk nonsense here." Pugachev pulled out his scimitar in anger and cut off the elder's head without saying a word.
"Whoever refuses to obey Ben Khan's orders again will end up here."
Pugachev's actions did shock many people, but caused more Cossacks to be dissatisfied.
That night, the disgruntled Cossacks staged a revolt in the hope of overthrowing Pugachev, and although this revolt was eventually broken by Pugachev, his rule in his own tribe became increasingly unstable, and many Cossacks took the opportunity to flee and join other tribes or create new tribes of their own.
Before Pugachev could actually attack the Norman Empire, half of his men had already dispersed, and in the end, only 5,000 cavalry came with him, and all of them were disheartened, and they might disperse at any time.
Now this situation is like this, the coalition army has a total of 85,000 troops, with mental calculations or unintentional, and has long been prepared to arrange traps, against the disheartened Cossack cavalry under Pugachev, this situation is impossible for anyone to be optimistic about the Cossacks, unless now the volcanic tsunami earthquake erupts and directly sinks Kherson, Pugachev has no chance.
In fact, Pugachev himself began to regret it a little......
"Or just tell the Normans that I'm here to join the crusade with my army, and I don't want a penny?"
In the early morning mist, Pugachev looked at the towering and solid walls that gradually appeared on the ground level, and began to beat a drum in his heart, secretly blaming himself for not being so hasty, that the Arab envoy was really harmful.
It's just that all this delusion ended quickly, and when he entered the city gate, Pugachev was already holding his breath and his mood was extremely calm.
"For the glory and freedom of the Cossacks, warriors, charge! We went to plunder the treasures of that emperor. ”
Pugachev drew his scimitar and shouted, while the Cossacks behind him roared and rushed towards the city gates, which were immediately opened by the Norman spies, allowing Pugachev to rush headlong into the urn.
Pugachev saw that there was still a city wall around him, and another gate directly opposite, but it was tightly closed, and secretly said: "Not good! ”
After that, he heard a choking sound behind him, and a jack fell from above the originally open city gate, directly killing the three Cossack cavalry below and their horses.
Seeing the jack gate fall to the ground, there was no hope for survival at the end.
"The minister did not come to attack, the minister came to see the emperor."
Pugachev's tears were already streaming down his face, and he threw his head up and shouted at the walls.
But no one paid any attention to him, or the Normans reacted in a completely different way than Pugachev thought, the hot heavenly fireworks, the constantly exploding iron cannons, and the bows and crossbows fell on the head and face, and Pugachev died without even snorting.
The corpse was shot like a hedgehog, then blown apart, and finally roasted by fire, and the aroma of burnt roasted meat emanated from under the urn city.
"Your Majesty...... That's what you're talking about fun? ”
On the city wall, several kings and dukes who were coaxed by Randy and wanted to see rare and boring people were dumbfounded, the Cossack rebellion, the Norman spies got the news in advance, and they planned to ambush them, they could understand this kind of thing, but the explosion and the burning oil were even more eye-catching, so the king of Burgundy, who was closest to the Norman emperor, opened his mouth to ask.
"Heavenly Flame Oil and Heavenly Iron Artillery, everyone, I am not unprepared for this crusade." Randy smiled a little smugly.
"What about these two weapons...... Is it transferable? Charlie asked impatiently.
"Of course, some finished weapons will be sold and given to countries that are friendly with the Empire." Randy nodded, and directly characterized the concept as a finished weapon, rather than a method of making a weapon, although this kind of thing will definitely not be hidden in the end, even if the Norman Empire does not say it, and other countries in Europe can see it when the Mongols go east, but one day earlier is a day, just like the patent rights of later generations, it will be twenty years.
Hearing Randy say this, the monarchs of the other countries were a little disappointed, but it was normal to think about it.
The country's heavy weapon, not to be taken lightly, Randy can sell finished weapons is already quite good, so one by one began to calculate, how to get in touch with the Norman Empire in the shortest possible time, climb the friendship, the kings are not stupid, the fire oil is just that, after all, there has been the Greek fire of the Eastern Roman Empire before, and the fire of the * is not the first, but the iron cannon is amazingly powerful, unheard of, and the kings on the battlefield naturally know its value.
"By the way, everyone, please also give me a witness, these Cossacks sabotaged the crusader jihad, but also colluded with the Arab heretics, the crime is unforgivable, I want to ensure the safety of the back road, I plan to clean up the Cossacks, but I am afraid that the world will not know, chew the root of the tongue, saying that I am a tyrant who kills indiscriminately, you can give me a witness."
You just wanted to make friends with the Norman Emperor tonight, and when you heard him say this, you will naturally agree to come down and be willing to testify for Randy, and those Cossacks will seek their own death, regardless of Randy's benevolent monarch.
Because of this, the fleet set sail a little later, and after spending a day sending emissaries to the other Cossack tribes, asking them not to follow Pugachev's rebellion and from now on directly obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, while the two hussar corps deployed on the periphery joined forces to defeat the leaderless Cossack rebels after Pugachev's death, after which Kherson returned to peace.
A few days later, when two legions of hussars outflanked Pugachev's tribe and found a covenant that had been prepared to bear Pugachev's handprint, as well as a forged Saladin heraldic ring, as well as a bill from Damascus, the last doubts were dispelled.
"It looks like these Cossacks are really in collusion with the infidels."
Even Henry, who suspected that all this was a fraud at the beginning, had to admit it in front of the facts, and was willing to testify to Randy to prove that Randy was innocent, Randy succeeded in stealing the day again, and the entire Zaporozhye Khanate collapsed, and the Cossack tribal alliance, which was originally regarded as a powerful country in Eastern Europe, was split into weaker settlements under the direct jurisdiction of the empire, especially those tribes that followed Pugachev to raise troops, and were finally directly included in the jurisdiction of the imperial bureaucracy by Randy and had to be fixed. Governed by officials sent by the central government of the empire.
But then again, these officials, who were very professional and politically competent, were in any case better than the chieftains and elders of the feudal serfdom, and after a while these Cossack people would get used to this, more orderly and superior life.
"From now on, there will be no Zaporozhye Khanate in the world, only the Norman Crimean province." After Randy finished handling the official affairs related to the Zaporizhzhia Khanate, he couldn't help but open his mouth to say something like this, his last heart disease was finally removed, after four years of competition with Sweden for supremacy in the Baltic Sea, and the war with Poland and Lithuania began, most of Randy's time and energy after his resurrection were wasted on this land, and finally drew a successful end to his conquest in Eastern Europe.
Riding on the dragon battleship, Randy stood on the bridge of the battleship, holding the railing with both hands, looking up at the blue sea and blue water, only feeling that his thoughts were clear, and he couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, Randy has already boarded the big ship to the island of Cyprus, and at the same time there is news on the island of Cyprus that the Norman Offshore Fleet has arrived in Cyprus, accompanied by France and Austria, Swabia, the armies of the three countries, as well as the fleets of Milan and Venice, this is the idea of King Philip II of France, this cunning guy knows that his fleet is not strong enough, so he wrote to Carter, the commander of the Offshore Fleet, hoping to go with the Norman Offshore Fleet.
Although secretly the relationship between these countries and the Norman Empire is not very good, Randy even repeatedly cursed Philip II for being caught by Barbary pirates, either falling into the sea to feed the sharks, or being caught and sold to Turkey as a eunuch, but the relationship on the surface is still barely passable, and all Marshal Carter is really hard to refuse, not to mention that Philip II also pulled in several other countries, which is really difficult to start.
Randy felt uncomfortable at the thought of this kind of thing, calculating the time, the other party went to sea more than ten days earlier than Randy, but Randy's ship speed was much faster than theirs, so the time for both sides to arrive at the Holy Land should be about the same.
"Forget it, when the time comes, we will find a way to rectify those bastards, and nothing else will be left to rest for the time being, Philip II must die!" Randy swore secretly, and continued to laugh, he was in a good mood lately, the whole of Eastern Europe was truly unified, and Randy was urging the Royal Consulate to compile the history of the Norman Empire, so that his exploits could be shown to others.
"You're so interested!" Just as Randy was laughing, Aurora's voice rang out.
"What's bothering me?"
"That's a good thing, you turn on the Enides system!"
Randy opens the Enides system and sees the system announcement written above:
Congratulations on the complete unification of Eastern Europe, the creation of a world-class empire, the most difficult work, and the ambition of dominance.
Randy quietly looked at the data on Enides, without the help of Enides, Randy relied on his experience and energy before the resurrection, and now that he can be promoted to the king of Norway, he is already thankful, he has been busy all his life, at most he can unify the British Isles or unify Scandinavia, which is already very good.
