Chapter 705: Eastern European Bandit Chu Zimou
"Attila has been defeated, and he may return with a large army. We blocked his royal city, delayed his return to his division, and plundered as many people and gold and silver as possible. ”
Chu Tian continued to plunder gold and silver on the periphery of the Hun Empire, robbing almost half of the wealth of the Hun Empire, and the rest of the wealth was either concentrated in the royal cities of the Huns, or other towns scattered in the vast Ukrainian plain.
"The primitive accumulation of capital is really full of sinful ......"
Chutian invaded the Hunnic Empire, and in order to obtain gold and silver, he still did the same as the lords of other feudal empires, robbing the gold, silver and grain in the warehouse.
In order to make up for the losses of the troops and obtain the spoils of war, only raiding can obtain wealth the fastest.
"You're not qualified to say such things......"
Catherine found that Chutian was compatible with the Cossack robbers.
Chu Tian plundered the gold and silver of the Hun Empire, and he was not merciless at all, and there were 40,000 servant soldiers captured alone.
If the ordinary population of the Hun Empire were to be brought back to the Han Empire, it would cost a lot of gold and silver to travel from Moscow to the Han Empire, and this amount of gold and silver might as well be used as a subsidy to encourage the Han Empire's native population to have more children, and the latter would be more loyal to the Han Empire.
Therefore, Chu Tian only planned to bring the captured Hun Empire's servant army back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and this group of young men did not need to be re-recruited, and the value could offset the high cost of the teleportation array.
Whether it was Bright or Jie Shika in Wangcheng, he was afraid of Chu Tian like a tiger and did not dare to fight, which made Chu Tian a little depressed.
He also thought that the remaining troops of the Hunnic Empire would organize hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to kill his army all over the mountains, but he didn't expect that when the Hun Empire heard of his arrival, they didn't dare to go to war at all, and each legion adopted turtle tactics.
However, the turtle tactics were undoubtedly very effective against Chu Tian, who brought in cavalry.
The royal city of the Hun Empire, Bleda drank daily and was helpless against the eastern cavalry outside the city.
After Breda lost confidence, he simply indulged Chutian's cavalry to transport back the looted boxes of gold and silver, and any town called for help, but Blada ignored it.
"Your Majesty Attila, defeated in Linz in the Archduchy of Austria, is shrinking his forces and plans to transport the loot looted from the Kingdom of Hungary back to the royal city!"
The war eagle of Tanmachi brought the news of Attila's defeat back to the royal city of the Hun Empire in advance, and Bleda immediately came to his senses.
Their leader, the legendary hero Attila, was defeated in a decisive battle with the allied forces of the Western Lords.
A defeat in a decisive battle could cause Attila to spit out the annexed kingdom of Hungary as well.
"Attila was too radical if he had stopped for a moment after the occupation of the Kingdom of Hungary and then negotiated with the lords of the West, instead of attacking Vienna directly...... No, even if he didn't want to attack Vienna, that group of enemies would not give up a decisive battle with our Hun Empire, it was a last resort......"
Brada's mind was in shambles.
The armies of the Western lords gathered many strongmen and successfully blocked Attila's westward advance, which was no less significant than the Han Empire's thwarting of Temujin's offensive in the Western Regions, and changing from a strategic defense to a strategic offensive.
The Hunnic Empire was in turmoil, and there could even be betrayal by allies, to be precise, either scenario.
"The spoils of the Kingdom of Hungary will be transported to another large city near the royal city. In a hurry, the city was guarded by the Hussite legion, but His Majesty thought that the local defenders were not enough, so he sent Jan Jaishka to strengthen the defense of the city! ”
"No, outside the city are the cavalry of the Easterners, and if they knew that the gold and silver treasures of the Kingdom of Hungary had been transported to that city, they would have attacked it."
When Breda heard that Attila was planning to transport the treasures from the Kingdom of Hungary to a large nearby city, he was troubled.
Outside, Chu Tian has already grabbed his eyes, the gold and silver that Attila obtained from the Kingdom of Hungary are worth millions of taels, and Chu Tian knows that he still has it?
"Your Majesty's army is being pursued by the Western army, and the two sides are still unable to pull it, and they lack the strength to cover this batch of treasures, so they can only use the teleportation array."
"Don't make a statement, as long as the cavalry from the east doesn't know that the gold and silver have arrived in the city, they won't notice the gold and silver coming from the Kingdom of Hungary."
"We don't do what His Majesty commands?"
"That's right. If the Hussite army of Jayska was mobilized to support the city, it would be equivalent to the Eastern proverb saying, 'There are no three hundred taels of silver here'. ”
Brada was still a little witty, and soon realized that the dispatch of Jieshika undoubtedly made Chu Tian curious about the purpose of Jieshika's actions, as long as a cavalry was sent to follow Jieshika, then everything would be exposed.
Outside the city, Chutian's camp.
"Attila was defeated, his army was numerous, and it was impossible to use the teleportation array to escape, because a teleportation array could teleport a limited number of people every day, and he relied too much on the teleportation array, which would cause the main force of his army to be surrounded in the city by the army of the western lords, and catch turtles in the urn. So I suspect that Attila is likely to be on a normal march, and on the way back to the Hunnic Empire, he will be able to loot another batch of gold and grain. ”
"Attila and Temujin made a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Hungary, the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary, and a large amount of gold and treasures fell into the hands of Attila before they could be transferred. Now that Attila was defeated, it is quite possible that he will manage to bring the loot captured from the Kingdom of Hungary back to the Hunnic Empire through the teleportation array. ”
Chu Tian had already been thinking about the spoils of the Kingdom of Hungary.
Attila's looting skills may have been more clever and cruel than Chu Tian's, so he could obtain a large amount of loot from the Kingdom of Hungary, and some of this loot would not have time to be transported back to the royal city of the Hun Empire.
"I deduce that Attila might have someone teleport the gold and silver of the Kingdom of Hungary to this city."
On a parchment map of Eastern Europe, Chutian points to a city near the royal city of the Hun Empire.
Catherine wondered, "How did you know it would be this city?" ”
"Most of the territory occupied by the Huns was steppes and some more inhospitable plains, and the Huns were nomadic tribes, with only a handful of large cities. The royal city is blocked by our cavalry, and the teleportation array cannot be used, so there are only five teleportation arrays left that can be used. The other four cities were too far away from the royal city to guarantee loyalty in the event of Attila's defeat, and it was not uncommon for the local defenders to rebel and take the silver and gold to set up their own gates, or to take refuge in other kingdoms. ”
"We just need to make a trend to attack this city, if there is any movement in the defenders of the royal city, it means that my guess is correct, not the other way around."
Chu Tian had already thought of measures to verify whether his judgment was correct.
If that city had the gold and silver treasures that Attila had plundered from the Kingdom of Hungary, as long as Chutian attacked the city, the remaining legions of the Hun Empire would definitely go crazy to protect the city, after all, it was their future military salary.
Man dies for money, and birds die for food.
"You are more like an Eastern European bandit than a Cossack bandit......"
Catherine discovered that Chutian was very talented in looting.
On this expedition, in the face of the Hun Empire, which avoided but did not fight, Chu Tian simply changed his mind and devoted himself to plundering gold and silver treasures.
He wanted to capture the capital of the Hun Empire, but also to gain benefits, if he couldn't capture it, it was not unacceptable to rob hundreds of thousands of taels of gold.
At this time, Chu Tian smelled the spoils of the Kingdom of Hungary, so it was impossible to be indifferent.
"Whether my guess is correct or not, let's wait and see. Yermak, you lead the Cossack cavalry to continue the siege. If the garrison of the royal city or the fortress is dispatched, then my guess is correct, and you will immediately send someone to inform us. ”
Chu Tian instructed Yerkaterina's subordinate Yermak.
Yermak is the tsar's eagle dog, and Chutian, as the prince of the Tsarist Russian Empire, can also mobilize Yermak on the premise that Catherine has no objection.
Yermak asked: "If the defenders go out of the city, do I have to fight back?" ”
"Avoid without fighting, besiege without attacking."
"Yes."
Chu Tian didn't think much that Yermak would be the opponent of Jayshika and Bleda.
After completing the deployment, Chutian and Catherine commanded the cavalry and marched to the city where Chutian suspected of hoarding Attila's looted treasures from the Kingdom of Hungary.
The defenders of the Hun Empire's royal city had been observing the movements of Chutian's camp, and when they found that a large number of eastern cavalry had left the camp, they immediately went to the palace to report to Blaida.
"Lord Bleda, the cavalrymen of the East, they seem to have discovered the gold and silver that His Majesty has brought back from the Kingdom of Hungary!"
"How could he know?!"
Braida is still one layer less.
Under the premise that Chu Tian coveted this gold and silver treasure, it was undoubtedly a better choice to order Jie Shika to defend the city as soon as possible, and now, Bleda began to fall into passivity.
"Immediately order Jashika to lead the Hussite Legion to support the city!"
"Wangcheng sent 50,000 cavalry!"
Blaida ordered one after another, and the defenders of the Hun Empire's royal city and fortress were dispatched.
"It seems that my guess is correct, and Attila did transport some of the gold and silver treasures from the Kingdom of Hungary back to the Hunnic Empire. But this batch of gold and silver, I laughed at it. ”
Chu Tian drove 50,000 servants to march quickly, and he wanted to use these 50,000 people to coerce and lure and forcibly capture a city.
Hua Mulan was a little worried: "The white-robed army has never joined us. ”
"Maybe they've been delayed by someone on the way."
Chu Tian was not worried about Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun, even if they were surrounded by the opponent's army, at least they could break out of the encirclement.
Attila and Temujin's main force marched westward, and the rest of the people, in addition to Jie Shika, who was good at defensive counterattacks, and Bleda, the number two person in the Hunnic Empire, and other generals were really not the opponents of Chen Qingzhi and the three.
