Chapter 661: An Uninvited Guest from the East (2-in-1)
The cavalry from the east swept through, and the remaining Hun coalition forces were forced by Chutian's "Heavenly Khan" characteristics, and many soldiers chose to surrender.
These barbarian soldiers were at a loss for what to do after the commander fled.
"The Hun cavalry, and the warriors of various tribes...... Twenty thousand prisoners. ”
Chu Tian absorbed 20,000 barbarian warriors in one fell swoop for his own use.
Next, go and relieve the siege of Ryazan, need more soldiers, use the vassal army of the Huns as cannon fodder, and then deal with Temujin.
"Twenty thousand-man teams!"
Chutian organized 20,000 prisoners into 10,000 or 1,000 people, which was almost the same as the army establishment of the nomadic civilization.
This simple division allowed the 20,000 captives to quickly regain their combat effectiveness.
The Cossack leader Khmelnitsky wiped the saber, and then put it away: "Your Majesty, King Xia, next we should go to the aid of Ryazan." ”
"Perhaps our forces are not enough, and we can defeat Temujin by capturing more servant armies in the territory of the Hun Empire."
Chu Tian counted the number of prisoners, 20,000 people seemed to be a lot, but during the battle, tens of thousands of people took the initiative to flee, obviously this 100,000-strong Hun coalition army was just a plate of scattered sand.
In addition to the captives, a number of points were awarded for the national war.
Braida's ability is much worse than that of Attila, and he can't control these Grand Duke-level figures.
"Damn it!"
Led fled with a group of Hun cavalry, took refuge in a wood, and fled south.
He rolled off his horse, limped under the tree, removed the wine sac, and poured it on the wound, grinning in pain.
Of the 100,000 Huns, the rest of the legions, except for the fleeing Archduke Vytautas's Legion, almost all collapsed.
It was difficult for him to go back to see Attila.
"Vytautas, he has to pay for it! Go back and inform your Majesty, cowardly Vytautas, that he has betrayed his comrades on the battlefield and caused the cavalry of the East to be left uninhabited. By the way, the cavalry of the East, the civilization from the East, their cavalry attacked our army, which means that they want to intervene in this great war, and they must let Your Majesty know about it! ”
Blada shifted the responsibility for the defeat to Grand Duke Vytautas and sent cavalry to the large nearby city day and night, and then fled back to the capital of the Hunnic Empire, reporting directly to the Hun leader Attila.
If Attila had not known that such a cavalry had been present, he would have suffered unexpected losses, even though the losses had already occurred......
"How can the high-level troops in the East have such combat power, their offensive is like destroying the withering and decaying."
Braida thought of the previous battle, when his army was routed by the opposing cavalry, and he was terrified.
An army of 100,000 Huns, defeated too quickly.
In the capital of the Hun Empire, Attila was furious when he learned that 100,000 allied troops had been destroyed, and he drew his sword and cut off the frescoes in the palace.
"Come with me, go and capture Vytautas alive!"
Atila's body, his short body, but it was terrifying, took Shan Yu Guard, left the capital of the Hun Empire, and at the same time disappeared the Hun Empire's Shan Yu Guard.
Grand Duke Vytautas retreated in a hurry, thinking that Bleda had been defeated by the opposing cavalry, and he couldn't help but be afraid. If he escaped one step too late, maybe he would have become Chu Tian's prisoner.
If a dignified duke of a grand duchy is captured by a king from the east, the impact will be relatively bad, and his prestige will be ruined.
"Lord Duke, the cavalry of His Majesty Attila is appearing east of Minsk!"
When Grand Duke Vytautas was about to flee back to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, an elite group of Shan Yu guards stopped Vytautas, and a relatively short man appeared in the crowd of Shan Yu's guards, and Vytautas's face turned pale.
He knew that if he escaped on the battlefield, he would definitely attract Attila's accountability, but he didn't expect Attila to directly use the teleportation array to intercept Vytautas on the way. Now, he has no way back.
Grand Duke Vytautas also had to lower his posture in front of the strengthened Attila and took the initiative to come and attach: "Your Majesty, please forgive my actions, the cavalry in the east is too unexpected, no one thought that they would suddenly appear on this vast plain......"
"Vytautas, your actions have seriously affected my perception of your loyalty, and I don't think I should trust you as much as I have ever been, so they will monitor your every move next, and all the Polish-Lithuanian nobles will hand over your wives and concubines and eldest sons as hostages."
Attila drew his saber and gestured at the back of Vytautas's neck, and if Vytautas did not agree, Attila would probably kill him.
Killing an archduke and then propping up a nobleman willing to be loyal to the Hunnic Empire to become a duke, Attila did it.
The Western aristocracy did not apply much to the Hunnic Empire.
"All nobles have to hand over hostages?!"
Grand Duke Vytautas was agitated for a while, according to Attila, his wife and son were to be placed under house arrest by Attila, and if he betrayed, then no one dared to guarantee what Attila would do, after all, the Hun tribes did not act exactly according to the rules of the Western model.
"Vytautas, you are draining my patience, I said all, then it is all, otherwise, my army, will raze Vilnius again. You have now lost your freedom, exchange hostages for freedom, keep your power and position, serve me loyally, and when I kill Alexander, I will release all the hostages. ”
Attila used her saber to press down Vytautas, who was almost on his feet because of his excitement, causing a chill in the neck of Grand Duke Vytautas.
The Whip of God trait has a suppressive effect on the Grand Duke.
Grand Duke Vytautas gritted his teeth, and Attila was increasingly humiliated, but he was now under house arrest by Attila and his guards, and could only continue to submit to the strength of the Hun Empire.
Whether it is in the East, where the princes and generals have a kind of Xiangning, or in the West, where there is a theocratic and aristocratic blood system on the surface, it is still an eternal truth that the king will be defeated.
The decline of theocracy is also due to the rise of secular state power.
The collapse of the aristocracy was the spread of musket and spear militias.
The Hunnic cavalry roamed the conquered cities of Poland and Lithuania, threatening to massacre them, forcing the nobles to surrender their hostages and once again reinforcing their control over the Eastern European Plain.
These were directly related to Chu Tian's arrival, but Chu Tian was busy capturing servant troops nearby, advancing all the way to the edge of Attila's sphere of influence, increasing the number of captured servant troops from 20,000 to 30,000.
At this time, Chu Tian didn't know that he was only three hundred miles away from Attila, the whip of God. If Chu Tian knew that Attila was in the south, he would not necessarily come forward to challenge.
Attila's Shan Yu Guard, after a 50% bonus of the system, has made many European emperors and princes want to die, Chu Tian took the initiative to encounter it, and no matter what the victory or defeat, the loss must be heavy.
Chutian can relieve Catherine, but he is not obliged to relieve the emperors and princes of Europe, unless they kneel and beg Chutian, or Chutian in order to continue to dominate the rankings.
The first year leaderboard points can be accumulated backwards, but the second year's ranking will start again, which is a common mechanic in many games.
If you want to get the ranking reward for the second year, you also need to fight the barbarians in the second year.
Originally, at different times, great wars broke out in various places, but Chu Tian insisted on interfering in the war on the Western Continent and continued to compete for rankings.
This was also an opportunity for Chu Tian to familiarize himself with the terrain of the Western Continent.
Everything here was very unfamiliar to Chu Tian.
"Remove the threat of the Hunnian Empire to Smolensk in the west, we will go back to Moscow to replenish, and then it is time to go to the city of Ryazan, hoping that the city of Ryazan can be held."
Chutian captured a total of 30,000 servant troops, and gradually formed a temporary servant legion, driving the servant legion back to Moscow City.
On this expedition, Chu Tian did not delay for any time, and directly left Bleda on his stomach.
Unless Attila renounces the threat from the Macedonian kingdom, he dares to personally command the army in retaliation.
Among the 30,000 servant army, there were many leaders of various tribes, although the strength of the heroes among them was not low, but Chu Tian did not know any of them.
Unless it is a famous hero such as the famous Roman general Scipio the Great and the French Joan of Arc, the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty have heard of it.
is like a Western lord, and the impression of the Eastern generals is estimated to be only a few people, Temujin, Subutai, Han Xin, and Sun Wu.
Only when the two sides start a war will they start to pay attention to which other legendary generals the other side has.
Xiao Xuan rode a war horse, and before leaving, he took a look at the battlefield full of corpses, and it was hard to imagine that he could defeat the Hun coalition army by direct force.
The Huns, who seemed to be twice as strong, collapsed after a period of fierce fighting under the surprise attack of high-ranking cavalry.
This is still the premise that there is a system bonus, otherwise, this is a group of rabble, and it will collapse at the first touch.
"He may be a king stronger than Temujin, but I can't be the main house, what should I ......do?"
Xiao Sui was a little entangled, it was obvious that the position of the main palace was occupied by Xia Liang, even if he was a flat wife, his status was Mulan's.
Chutian's cavalry drove 30,000 servants and returned to the city of Moscow.
During this time, Breda met his younger brother, Attila, whose talent was above him.
"It was my fault that I was defeated at the hands of the Eastern cavalry."
Braida dragged her injured leg to see Attila.
"Get up!" Attila shouted, "Just lose tens of thousands of insignificant people, why bother, such a servant, we can catch another million people on this continent!" ”
Hearing that Attila did not blame, Bulda's expression finally cleared, and there was anger in Attila's tone, most of which had already written down hatred.
"Absorbing the characteristics of Rome, Macedonia, and Germany, our Hun Empire should not be limited to this steppe, we can have greater achievements, even if we are defeated once, it doesn't matter."
Attila regrouped his army, and the originally scattered soldiers quickly closed around the city where Attila was located.
In Ryazan City, the wolf smoke was billowing out, covering the sky and the sun, and the half-foot battering ram violently bombarded the city gate, completely shattering the city gate!
The army of the Golden Horde broke through the 150,000 defenders of Ryazan, and completely opened the passage to the city of Moscow, and there was no fortress left to stop the army of the Golden Horde!
Dozens of giant Xiangyang cannons destroyed the circular towers and shattered the city walls, so that the defenders lacked a foothold, and were finally broken by the army of the Golden Horde, and Batu personally commanded the army into the city!
The Grand Duke of Ryazan and Dmitry of the Don could not hold out, lost the street battle, and after setting fire to it, they fled the city of Ryazan.
Tens of thousands of the 150,000-strong army were killed, and the remaining legions, under the cover of Catherine outside the city, safely retreated to the city of Moscow, intending to hold it.
Once the city of Moscow is captured, the destruction of popular morale and law and order may cause the Grand Duchy of Moscow to return to the situation of the Rus' principalities and be annexed by the surrounding forces.
The Grand Duke of Ryazan was frightened by the terrifying offensive of the Golden Horde: "God, their trebuchets are as powerful as the gods of thunder and fire, and the city of Ryazan was captured by Temujin more than we imagined. I swear, it's not that Dmitry and I didn't do our best to defend it, it's that their siege engines are amazingly destructive! ”
Seeing that the Grand Duke of Ryazan was scattered, Catherine did not bother to investigate whose responsibility was for the loss of Ryazan City.
The Golden Horde inherited the craftsmen of the Mongol Empire and had the potential to become a powerful force, and the giant counterweight trebuchet once again showed its incredible power and quickly captured the city of Ryazan with lightning speed.
The most important thing is to hold the city of Moscow.
Although Catherine usually lived in St. Petersburg, she controlled the city of Moscow, which remained the capital of the Grand Duchy.
The loss of the national capital in the national war, the punishment is extremely terrible, just lose half of the people's hearts, basically a civilized area is destroyed, and there are rebellions everywhere.
"Loot this city as soon as possible, then attack Moscow, and let the Rus' know what will happen to us if we resist!"
After the capture of the city of Ryazan, it is best not to delay, and it is better to capture the city of Moscow before Catherine is fully mobilized.
The Grand Duchy of Moscow was fully mobilized, and to be honest, Batu was still somewhat afraid of the natives of this civilization.
After all, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, most of its territory is located in the alpine region, and the people are fierce.
The city of Ryazan was set on fire by the defenders of the fortified wilderness when they retreated, and it was looted by the army of the Golden Horde, and it became a desolate abandoned city.
The Golden Horde gathered its army, along with the captured Ryazan servants, and marched on the city of Moscow.
The city of Moscow, all the cities that remain here are in danger.
Historically, the Golden Horde has captured the city of Moscow many times, and this city may not have been so impregnable in the era of cold weapons.
Catherine shrank her forces, bringing the number of troops in Moscow to more than 200,000, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
She could only choose Chutian, whether it was out of personal relationship or common interests.
"The Great Army of the Golden Horde has ...... Appear in the suburbs! ”
When the sentinels outside Moscow noticed that the army of the Golden Horde was active on the outskirts of Moscow, they galloped into the city to report it!
"The city of Moscow will let the enemy come to the city."
Catherine held the saber, something that no player of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, would not want to see, they had their own arrogance.
The city of Moscow is their bottom line.
A compromise nobleman proposed: "Perhaps we can offer Temujin an offer of goodwill in exchange for their withdrawal of troops." ”
Catherine has been cold in front of outsiders: "Extremely stupid." Temujin is so easy to dismiss, and he will not raise a force against us. What he wanted was a large enough ranch and an army of servants large enough to satisfy his ambitions. ”
The nobility of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, who was refuted by Catherine, was silent.
"Defend Moscow, no one can leave the city!"
Catherine closed all the gates of the city and swore not to retreat.
Perhaps none of the natives of the Grand Duchy of Moscow had the enthusiasm of the players.
"Ula !!"
On the walls of Moscow, the Boyer cavalry and the player chant in unison, so that the Golden Horde cavalry that appeared below the city could be heard.
"What are they shouting?"
Su Bu got off the horse and moved his muscles, and when he heard the sound of Ula in Moscow, he couldn't help but wonder.
Although there are no communication barriers between civilizations in Lords, there are some characteristic words that have been retained.
"It should be something like long live or kill."
Jochi also dismounted.
A group of generals of the Mongol Empire and the Golden Horde looked at the towering city of Moscow in front of them, as long as this city was captured, the core area of the Grand Duchy of Moscow could be annexed, and as for some desolate places, there was no need to conquer them all, because it would be too expensive to conquer the entire Grand Duchy of Moscow.
The giant counterweight trebuchet used to storm the city of Ryazan was carried off the wagon by the soldiers of the Golden Horde, reassembled and used to capture the city of Moscow.
This kind of monster has once again appeared in the Eastern European battlefield.
Out of the city to fight in the field, he faced the cavalry of Temujin, Subutai, Jebe, Batu and Timur.
Defending the city was faced with the constant attrition of Xiangyang cannons, siege towers, battering rams and the Golden Horde's army.
There is almost no way to break the game, unless you hold on until the cold winter, or, wait until Chutian's reinforcements arrive.
"Bring my letter for help to my beloved."
Catherine also received an exclusive war eagle.
The eagle spread its wings and swept west.
"That's the Iron Eagle Scout's warhawk?!"
Akagi Huali, who was in charge of the reconnaissance horse, dispersed the scout cavalry to a radius of 100 miles to prevent reinforcements from approaching the Golden Horde army.
Theoretically, no man's cavalry could evade the reconnaissance of the Tanmachi and carry out a successful raid on the Golden Horde.
When he saw the familiar war eagle soaring over Moscow, he was keenly aware that it was the war eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry.
The Iron Eagle Scout is an Eastern Troop, and the appearance of the Iron Eagle Scout generally means that person is active again.
"His cavalry has also come to Eastern Europe......!"
Mu Huali immediately informed Temujin.
Temujin, Subutai, Jebe, and others realized that the man's legion had been followed to Eastern Europe in the shadows, and their faces turned pale.
"He's trying to kill them all!"
Temujin's forehead was throbbing, and it was clear that at the moment, he only needed to capture the city of Moscow. It is not difficult to break Catherine's control over the Grand Duchy, and then use the strength of the Golden Horde to annex tens of millions of people.
However, Chutian's haunting in Eastern Europe made Temujin restrain his hands.
"Expand the scope of the exploration to 200 miles, and all roads suitable for the march of the army will be deployed with scouts, and once there is any disturbance, report it immediately."
"Subutai, you command the siege troops and capture this city!"
Out of fear, Temujin ordered Tanmachi to be defended on all sides to prevent a surprise attack from his old rival.
A war eagle fell, and Mulan took Catherina's note, which was in Russian, which was completely incomprehensible.
However, Chutian already knew the basic Russian.
When he was alone with Catherine, Chu Tian also studied foreign languages seriously, which could be used as a way to encrypt information in the future.
"The Golden Horde has invaded the city of Moscow, and Catherine intends to defend the city of Moscow, waiting for us to join us inside and outside. Most of Temujin already knew that we were coming, and this time, we marched with great fanfare and bluffed to scare Temujin away. If Temujin did not retreat, attack it all the way and knock it back. ”
Considering that Temujin had Tanmachi, it was difficult for him to hide his sight, so he simply chose a different strategy from dealing with the Hun coalition army, and marched with great fanfare to scare Temujin away.
"Generally, when the princes send troops, they will bluff, but this time, we claim to be an army of 800,000 and an army of 500,000 servants, a total of 1.3 million troops."
Chu Tian was cheeky and declared his tens of thousands of people to the villages and towns along the way that the Xia King of the Han Empire sent an army of 1.3 million troops, easily defeated the 100,000 allied troops of the Hun Empire, and planned to relieve the siege of Moscow.
For a time, all the emperors, kings, grand dukes, and great khans who coveted the Grand Duchy of Moscow were shocked by this news that was quickly spread by players.
An army of 1.3 million is enough to bulldoze any country in Europe!
Unless several great civilizations on the Western Continent join forces, they can stop such an army!
"One and a million three hundred thousand troops?! They are lying, Your Majesty, they must be bluffing! ”
Breda, who really fought against Chu Tian, heard that Chu Tian had brought an army of 1.3 million, and swore to Attila to reassure him.
"Bluffing, no doubt for sure, but how many people did he really bring?"
Attila was also disturbed by Chu Tian's huge force for a while.
"One million and three hundred thousand is nonsense, how many soldiers and horses does he have?"
The previous king of Sweden, Gustav II, sat on the throne, and he originally planned to take advantage of this opportunity to plunder part of the territory of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but the princes of the Han Empire suddenly intervened in the war in Eastern Europe, making Gustav II a mouse.
The Xia King of the Han Empire was ranked first many times, and it was not so easy to offend.
"Father, what are you thinking?"
The young Queen Christina was only five years old, but since she was born, Gustav had relinquished the position of King of Sweden to his daughter, and he himself became the Commander-in-Chief of the Kingdom of Sweden.
Because, in Gustav's view, he is often away from war, and the possibility of dying in battle is very high, so it is better to decide on the successor as soon as possible.
The affairs of the Kingdom of Sweden were ultimately in the hands of Gustav.
Gustav picked up young Christina: "A powerful uninvited guest has appeared, and this person may become a powerful enemy of my father." This time, the father decided to temporarily abandon the attack on the Grand Duchy of Moscow and reconcile with them. ”
"Oh."
Christina didn't know who her father's uninvited guest was.
