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

In the city of Moscow, Catherine gathered an army of 500,000 and prepared to conquer the Golden Horde in person and completely destroy it. An army of half a million people, many of them were newly recruited soldiers, or the armies of noble feudal lords who arrived from all over the country.

However, Catherine's scouts deployed in the Kingdom of Sweden witnessed Gustav II leading a large army on an expedition aimed at St. Petersburg!

"The Northern Heroes have intervened in the Great War!"

The nobility of the Grand Duchy of Moscow was terrified.

Gustav's firearms almost represent the top level of the Western continent, and the only weakness is estimated to be that Gustav's troops have not been much.

"Gustav is much more capable than Breda, and we have to be quick."

When Catherine learned that Gustav II had officially intervened in the war, she had the little duke taken from St. Petersburg to the relative safety of Moscow.

She left behind 100,000 defenders in St. Petersburg and ordered the inhabitants of the surrounding villages and towns to take refuge in St. Petersburg.

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

St. Petersburg is currently the only accessible outlet to the sea that the Grand Duchy of Moscow can use.

A number of northern cities were captured by Gustav when Catherine had no time to look north, and St. Petersburg became the next city to be conquered by the Kingdom of Sweden.

"With St. Petersburg as a base, you probably want to build a fleet and occupy Northern Europe?"

Chutian thought that Catherine's ruling center had always been St. Petersburg, not Moscow, and quickly sensed Catherine's intentions.

It is obvious that Catherine usually causes trouble everywhere, offending the Kingdom of Sweden and the Persian-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Now Attila pulled the enemies of the Grand Duchy of Moscow into the war, and Gustav did not refuse at all.

"Don't worry, I ran St. Petersburg for a few years, the popularity reached 95, Gustav, he could not take St. Petersburg as soon as possible."

Catherine was confident in the defenders of St. Petersburg.

Chutian counted the troops used by Catherina, 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 legions, there were 700,000!

This does not include the defenders of other cities.

It can be seen that the city of Moscow was attacked by soldiers, which completely angered the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and Catherine directly chose to bombard the Golden Horde.

The fate of angering Maozi, needless to say.

"Lend me 50,000 Cossack cavalry."

Chutian had less than 40,000 high-ranking cavalry and 30,000 servant troops of the Han army, and he borrowed 50,000 Cossack cavalry from Catherine.

The Cossack cavalry was the eagle dog of the tsar, and Chutian was now somewhat accustomed to using the Cossack cavalry as a light cavalry.

"No problem, recently a Cossack hero of the Don River has taken refuge in me, Yermak, and I will put him under your command."

Ekaterina borrowed troops very happily.

She currently controls more than 100,000 Cossack cavalry, and as long as the "Tsar-Catherine II" trait is activated, the Cossack cavalry will be recruited from all over the world.

Chutian's army swelled to 120,000 people, most of whom were cavalry.

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

The battle for the destruction of the country 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, 500,000 troops will go south and completely destroy the Golden Horde."

Catherine was determined.

An army of 500,000 is just soldiers. In addition to the soldiers, there were also millions of civilians transporting grain, grass and weapons.

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

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

Yermak, the leader of the Don Cossacks, and four other Don Cossack leaders, came to the Chutian tent to listen to the order. Each of them was in charge of 10,000 Cossack cavalry.

Yermak's identity background is that of the Cossack robbers of the Don River, who plundered merchants who came and went, and had a banditry in him.

"All the cavalry are well fed and drunk, and you follow my orders directly."

Chu Tian thought about his commander value for a while, because of Sun Bin's special auxiliary bonus, so Chu Tian's legion, which is suitable for the commander value of 96, should not be a problem to provide a bonus for 120,000 cavalry.

I don't know how the ability of the Cossack cavalry heroes is, Chu Tian estimates that Yermak's bonus to the cavalry is far inferior to his own, but when it comes to separating the Cossack cavalry to fight alone, it is estimated that there are not many people who perform better than these Cossack cavalry leaders.

Even when the battle was soon due, these Cossack cavalrymen remained optimistic, and at the same time, they fanatically served the future tsar.

In addition to the Cossack cavalry, the soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, who were even more fierce, were holding barrels of wine before the Golden Horde, which went south to conquer, and was full of excitement.

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

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

The nobility of the Grand Duchy of Moscow responded positively to Catherine's call, not only because of Catherine's personal prestige, but also because of her high position in the Tsarist Empire.

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

"In this battle, I will definitely win more heads than you."

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

"Are there any more powerful people in the Vikings?"

"Don't underestimate the Vikings."

Chutian's bodyguard, Dian Wei, was struggling with Catherine's bodyguard, Harald, and there were still a few empty barrels beside the two of them, apparently competing with each other's alcohol consumption not long ago.

The two men had been battling each other for some time, crusading against the Golden Horde and comparing who could get more heads.

Xiao Sui was sought after by the Cossack cavalry, and she also had the characteristics of accelerating the sinicization of nomadic tribes, and her personal charm had a high influence on nomadic tribes and fishing and hunting tribes.

"Dmitry of the Don, Nevsky of the Glacier, and several Grand Dukes, their army formation, similar to the decimal system of the Mongol cavalry. The cavalry here, more like the cavalry of the East, also has some Byzantine style. ”

Chu Tian was observing the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which was somewhat similar to the cavalry of Central and West Asia, and even had the shadow of the Mongol cavalry.

The character and style of a civilization that is easily influenced by the surrounding civilizations.

The Golden Horde had no small influence on the Grand Duchy of Moscow in history, so the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow more or less imitated the Mongol cavalry.

"My lord, this group of Cossack cavalry, their top soldiers, luxurious and greedy, the soldiers at the bottom, poor and brave."

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

Xiao Xuan hugged Mulan from behind and startled Mulan: "Let me guess." The Grand Duke of Moscow gave the upper echelons of the Cossacks a fortune and divided the lands, and these Cossack upper echelons controlled the Cossack army, and then drove and tricked the Cossack cavalry at the bottom, consolidating the rule of the Grand Duke of Moscow, using them as cannon fodder and expanding them around. ”

"Xiao Xuan......!"

"Good sister, I'll let it go."

Hua Mulan felt helpless about Xiao Xuan flattering herself.

Xiao Xuan realized that he wanted to enter the Xia Wang's Mansion and tried to win over Mulan.

"She's right, that's what it is...... The Tsar enslaved the Cossack cavalry by means, so the upper echelons of the Cossack cavalry were extravagant and corrupt, and the lower cavalry had good combat effectiveness. Of course, there were quite a few uprisings of the Cossack cavalry. ”

Chu Tian praised Xiao Xuan's vision, for the enslaved servant army, Hua Mulan was inferior to Xiao Xuan.

"Why don't you give me a squad of Cossack cavalry?"

"Nope."

Chu Tian rejected Xiao Xuan's request, and it was impossible for her to be allowed to lead troops until she pledged her loyalty, 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, Temujin was defeated because of the rebellious Wusun cavalry, and Xiao Xuanzhen wanted to rebel, which caused more damage than the Wusun cavalry.

"Humph......"

Xiao Sui found that Chu Tian still didn't trust him, and he had no other way. People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

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

Catherine took the little duke and inspected the various legions, the army of half a million, and the number of heroes used was hundreds and thousands.

The next day, an army of 500,000 marched towards the Golden Horde!

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

After Catherine distributed 50,000 Cossack cavalry to Chutian, there were still 450,000 troops left, with 50,000 as the vanguard, 200,000 as the central army, and 100,000 troops on the left and right roads.

Chutian's 120,000 cavalry roamed out as a surprise army.

The Ukrainian Cossack chieftain Khmelnitsky led the Cossack cavalry in the vanguard.

"The main army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow went south, claiming to be an army of five million."

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

The 500,000-strong army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow had been distributed, and Temujin had received the information.

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

Chutian claimed to have an army of five million, and he did not scare Temujin.

"This time, fight to the death with Chu Zimou and Catherine! Hurry up, take the head of the opponent's vanguard and come back! ”

Behind Temujin, dense Mongolian cavalry and servant cavalry crossed Temujin and entered the Don Valley again.

The Golden Horde had no surplus of food and grass, and it was necessary to defeat an army of half a million as soon as possible.

Subutai, as the vanguard general of Temujin, had already set his sights on the cavalry of the Cossack hero Khmelnitsky.
