Chapter 669: The Western Continent War Breaks Out
"The Vikings' dragon warship!"
"Kill them all!"
In the fog, the Viking warships and the fleet of the Grand Duchy of Moscow unexpectedly encountered, and a dense and violent rain of arrows and javelins covered the warships in the fog and nailed them to the deck!
Led by a tall Viking leader, the Viking berserkers engage the ships of the Grand Duchy of Moscow in a brutal hand-to-side battle!
The Viking hero has a body comparable to Harald, and even in a water battle, his force will not be negatively affected in any way, and the battle axe will slay a sailor without diminishing the remaining momentum, and the axe blade is even embedded in the mast of the ship, almost cutting off the mast of the Grand Duchy of Moscow!
"Monsters, monsters......"
A sailor soldier of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, frightened by the murderous Vikings, trembled with his hands holding a long sword.
The Viking leader drew his battle axe, walked towards the sailor soldiers, and slashed them with an axe, and the long sword flew upside down, and the blade of the sword collapsed.
"Only with bows and arrows and javelins can you stop the Vikings! Can't engage them in broadside battles, or we'll be torn to shreds by the Vikings! ”
The captain of the Grand Duchy of Moscow panicked, because of the fog, the last thing he wanted to see was the scene - an encounter between the Vikings' dragon ships and the fleet of the Grand Duchy of Moscow in the Baltic Sea, and worst of all, the Vikings had already started a broadside battle!
The Viking Berserker has not yet actively triggered the Berserk trait, and has bloodied the decks of the Grand Duchy of Moscow's warships!
In the Middle Ages, the Grand Duchy of Moscow was really not very good at sailors, and it was far worse than the Han Empire, which was a continental civilization.
The warships of the Vikings are also relatively ordinary, quite different from the real maritime civilizations of England, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands, but they are suitable for the rugged coastline of Northern Europe, that is, there are special bonuses for fighting in the Baltic Sea.
The strength of the Vikings was not in the ships themselves, but in the terrifying hand-to-hand combat abilities of their own warriors.
Once a broadside battle breaks out with a Viking pirate, it means hand-to-hand combat with a Viking berserker on deck!
Even if Temujin's ninth-order cowardly army has a broadside battle with a Viking berserker on the deck, it will be crushed by the Viking berserker, because the cowardly Xue army's attributes will drop greatly in water battles, while the Viking berserker will not, which is also a hidden feature.
In the entire western continent, it is estimated that there are only three fleets of civilizations, England, the Netherlands, and Spain, so they can not be afraid of Vikings.
The panicked fleet of the Grand Duchy of Moscow hastily retreated, and in one encounter, half of the ships were lost, and more than 2,000 soldiers sank in the sea.
The sea was filled with black smoke, floating planks and barrels everywhere, hundreds of warships were burned or captured, and thousands of soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Moscow were captured by Vikings.
Catherine prepared a fleet specifically for the conquest of Northern Europe, which was destroyed by the Vikings before it could take shape.
The Viking leader returned from a bloody battle to report his victory to Gustav II.
"The Jums, like the Varangian Guard, are the elite of the Vikings, and your prestige will spread to the nations through the great conquest of the Eastern European Plain. Olaf, you will be my right-hand man. ”
Gustav knew about the Viking civilization, in addition to the Varangian Guard established by Harald hired by the Byzantine Empire, in Northern Europe, the high-level Viking civilization troops also included the Yumus Viking warriors, who formed the Yumus Warband, which numbered more than the Varangian Guard of Harald.
To conquer the Viking hero Olaf, Gustav II spent a year.
"Olaf is willing to serve the king and conquer the lands as far as he can see!"
Olaf I drew his blood-stained battle axe, his eyes filled with awe of Gustav.
The Viking berserkers were invincible in Northern Europe, but Gustav used his firearms to conquer many of the Jumus Vikings.
"You went to attack the port of St. Petersburg and bring fear and shadow to St. Petersburg. And I, personally commanding the Swedish Corps, landed from Tallinn and met you in St. Petersburg. ”
"Yes."
Olaf commanded the Viking ships and sailed to St. Petersburg, while Gustav's ships went ashore in Tallinn in the eastern Baltic Sea.
The city, which was originally controlled by Catherine, was recently captured by Gustav and became a bridgehead for the assault on St. Petersburg.
"St. Petersburg may be about to be upgraded to a giant city, and it must be captured before it is upgraded to a giant city, otherwise St. Petersburg will become a stronghold for Catherine to attack Northern Europe......"
Gustav was aware of Catherine's ambitions, so Attila's hiring of him only exacerbated the contradictions between the original civilizations, not just because of the gold and silver that made Gustav tempted.
Gustav's Swedish legions, made up of cavalrymen, pikemen, and arquebusiers, were battle-hardened soldiers who had long fought against the fierce Vikings.
Moreover, Gustav had the characteristics of governing the army, and the Swedish legion was in good order, and after going ashore, he quickly reorganized his army and organized his army.
"Gustav, I didn't expect that one day, I would join forces with you."
Grand Duke Vytautas, under the watchful eye of the Hun generals, was forced to join forces with Gustav and attack St. Petersburg, bringing with him 50,000 Polish-Lithuanian troops.
"Your situation doesn't seem to be good......
Gustav found out that Grand Duke Vytautas was under house arrest by the Huns, and Attila simply wanted Grand Duke Vytautas to give a regimental bonus to the Polish-Lithuanian coalition.
If it weren't for the fact that Grand Duke Vytautas was a legendary Grand Duke of Lithuanian civilization, perhaps Attila would have killed him outright and replaced him with a new Grand Duke of Lithuania.
Grand Duke Vytautas looked helpless.
He is already a puppet.
"Gustav, the Northern Hero, has entered Tallinn City!"
"Gustav and Vytautas, 120,000 troops united, march to St. Petersburg!"
A legendary king, a legendary archduke, joined forces to advance towards St. Petersburg, the army could not hide its whereabouts, and soon the news spread throughout the Western continent!
The Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Golden Horde broke out in a war of annihilation, and Gustav, the Northern Hero, also intervened in the Great War on the Western Continent!
"The Macedonian army of 400,000 and the Greek city-states of 100,000 have all been assembled, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, the army will attack the Hun Empire."
The clerical officer, Eumenes, reported to Alexander on the preparations for the Kingdom of Macedonia.
The kingdom of Macedonia covered the entire Balkan Peninsula and the Greek islands, and the Greek city-states were vassals to Alexander, so they were counted separately when calculating troops.
Of the Greek city-states, Athens was the most prosperous and had the most soldiers, while Sparta had the most elite high-ranking hoplites.
"How many legions did Rome send?"
"According to the negotiations with the Romans, Caesar sent three legions, Pompey three legions, and Constantine, four legions, a total of ten legions. In addition to the Roman legions, there were also special legions such as the Genoese Crossbow Legion and the North African Legion. The strength of the expeditionary force is about 200,000. They also needed to stay in the defense of France and the natives from North Africa. ”
"I see. With 200,000 troops, they need to exchange their contributions for land and population. ”
The principle of Alexander's division of the Hunnic Empire with other Western lords was also simple - according to the principle of points, whoever gained more points in the great battle to destroy Attila would contribute more and receive more territory and population.
"Your Majesty, before you set out on your expedition, you should guard against the enemy from Asia Minor."
Alexander's teacher, Aristotle, took the initiative to visit Alexander at this time.
"Teacher, the enemy you are talking about, is it the Ottoman Empire? But after Suleiman the Magnificent was killed by the Han Empire, civil strife continued in Asia Minor. I should thank the princes of the Han Empire for solving my troubles. ”
Alexander mentions Suleiman the Magnificent, whom he feared.
The Ottoman Empire was originally ruled by a powerful figure, but the third national war, but died under the gun of the Han Empire general Huo Quai, which caused a sensation in the Western continent at that time, and also changed the pattern of West Asia and the Western continent.
Aristotle was worried: "Your Majesty, never underestimate your opponents. ”
"Then I'll have another 100,000 defenders recruited."
In the end, Alexander chose to follow Aristotle's teachings.
The one-eyed Antigonus, Seleucus, Ptolemy and other Macedonian generals asked Alexander to personally conquer: "The king's army can level the world at any time." ”
Alexander got up: "I have repeatedly gone on expeditions before, killing 50,000 elites of the Ostrogothic king, but I have never been able to catch Attila's main Hunnic force, this time, Attila must die without a place to be buried!" ”
In the city of Rome, 200,000 Roman troops used the teleportation array to transport troops to Alexander's city one after another, and joined forces with Alexander to defeat Attila!
"Scipio, I need points, and the more points, the better. There is an item that enhances the effect of the Roman Legion's Eagle Banner. ”
In addition to waging war to gain land and population, Constantine also coveted national war points.
There are some items that may have no effect on other civilizations, but have a huge amplification effect on some special civilizations.
For example, the props related to the eagle banner may not be useful for non-Roman civilizations, but they are very attractive to the lords of Roman civilization.
Scipio and Scipio loyally said, "We will capture Attila alive for the sake of the Archon." ”
"Octavian, in this battle, I will give you command of a Roman legion."
Caesar, in order to train young Diadochi, the first Augustus Octavian of the Roman Empire, decided to assign a Roman legion to Octavian's command.
"Octavian will not disappoint you!"
Octavian was overjoyed, as Caesar's adopted son, Caesar had already valued and decided to train him, maybe he could become famous in one fight and become a future Roman giant, or even Roman emperor.
Caesar's subordinates, Antony and Lepida, noticed that Caesar wanted to raise Octavian as the first heir, and had mixed feelings.
