Wang Baobao was just as shocked at the beginning.

Because although the Mengyuan army also had 60,000 people, there were less than 20,000 cavalry among them, and the rest were all infantry and baggage soldiers.

Yes, the orthodoxy of the Great Mongolian State, which relied on cavalry to dominate the world, was dominated by infantry in the hands of Wang Baobao.

However, after some personal reconnaissance, Wang Baobao soon had a general understanding of the army of the Golden Horde.

"The enemy is far from being as strong as it seems, although their cavalry has a lot of armor, but the lineup is chaotic, obviously there is no good drill, even if they are wearing heavy armor, they will definitely not be able to break through our defense!"

Wang Baobao said confidently to the generals under him.

The infantry of the Mongol and Yuan armies was mainly composed of Sinicized Mongols and Han Chinese, who basically served in the Central Plains for a long time and had rich experience in fighting cavalry.

Moreover, Wang Baobao also found that there was no trace of advanced firearms in the army of the Golden Horde, at most there were more than a dozen small cannons less than three feet.

As for what arquebus, there is not even a hair.

Among Wang Baobao's Mengyuan army, there were nearly 100 large and small artillery, and all of them imitated the advanced style of the Ming army.

Both the Mongol Yuan and the Golden Horde were confident in themselves, and a decisive battle unfolded on the vast riverine plains.

Both claimed to be the rightful heirs of the Great Mongol state.

It's just that all of the troops on one side are holding high the Celestial Sect Crescent Banner.

On the other hand, the army is the backbone of the Chinese infantry.

The two sides were on the same page, and the bloody battle soon began.

The Golden Horde army led by Navulus was huge, and it was naturally impossible to press them all at once.

Therefore, Naurus personally led tens of thousands of elites as reserves, sitting in the Chinese army to watch the battle.

The Kipchak cavalry of the Golden Horde took the lead in attacking the Mongol and Yuan armies.

These cavalrymen of the Kipchak steppe, like the Mongols, also lived a nomadic life since childhood.

Therefore, their tactics were not much different from those of the Mongols, consisting of a large number of light cavalry and a small number of elite heavy cavalry to form a cavalry phalanx.

It's just that these brave and warlike Kipchak cavalry hit their heads and bled in front of the infantry of the Mengyuan army.

The soldiers of the Mengyuan army basically had quite a lot of battles with the Red Turban Army, and both in terms of tactical tactics and organizational cooperation, they were far above these Kipchak cavalry.

What's more, Wang Baobao also deployed a large number of muskets and artillery in the Mengyuan army, and even shed the blood of these Kipchak cavalry.

Fierce battles raged on the battlefield, and the casualties of the Golden Horde's army gradually increased.

However, the phalanx of the Mengyuan army did not waver in the slightest.

Naurus, who was watching the battle from the rear, immediately sensed the danger.

"The Kipchak cavalry can't hold it up so quickly!?"

Navulus was shocked and frightened in his heart, the combat effectiveness of the Kipchak cavalry was considered to be middle and upper class in the Golden Horde, and the morale of the Mengyuan army was greatly reduced by the rapid defeat of the Mongol Yuan army.

However, before Naurus could send troops to support the Kipchak cavalry, the Warat cavalry in the Mongol Yuan army took the lead in launching a counter-charge.

The ancestors of the Warat people fought with Genghis Khan in three rounds on the steppe before they were defeated and surrendered, and their combat effectiveness naturally far exceeded that of the Kipchak cavalry.

Although the number of Warat cavalry was small, with the support of the artillery and infantry of the Mongol and Yuan army, they quickly scattered the Kipchak cavalry of the Golden Horde.

In the chaos of a battlefield, a small chance event can lead to a major rout.

What's more, the Kipchak cavalry, which was the main force of the Golden Horde army, was routed, and the consequences were even more catastrophic.

As the commander of the First Army, Wang Baobao naturally can't miss this excellent opportunity.

He immediately commanded his elite to fight against the gaps in the Golden Horde.

The artillery of the Mongol Yuan army also poured fire ruthlessly, and any Golden Horde army that dared to resist was heavily killed and wounded under the artillery bombardment.

The Khan of the Golden Horde, Naurus, was completely stunned.

He never imagined that the enemy on the opposite side would be so powerful.

When Naurus reacted......

The Mongol Yuan army under the command of Wang Baobao had completely disrupted the formation of the Golden Horde.

There were many vassal servant armies in the Golden Horde army, and their will to fight was not strong, but now they were cut off from each other by the Mongol Yuan army, and each fell into a single battle.

Soon, there was a knock-on effect of a devastating demoralization of the Golden Horde's army.

One by one, the army began to run to the rear.

Naurus was powerless to prevent this sudden rout.

The Mengyuan army commanded by Wang Baobao became more and more courageous.

When they saw that the enemy had collapsed, they pursued it all the way, not giving the Golden Horde's army a chance to regroup.

A great rout became the final outcome of the Golden Horde's battle.

The Mongol Yuan army killed and wounded tens of thousands of people in the battle, and even the Golden Horde Sulu ingot, to which Naurus belonged, was captured by the Mongol Yuan army in the rout.

As for the captives, cattle, sheep and horses, there are countless ones.

If it weren't for the fact that Naurus's mount was a horse that was one in a million, and he was very fast, I was afraid that even he would be a prisoner of Meng Yuan.

Wang Baobao did not have much mercy for these captured Golden Horde soldiers.

The estrangement of thousands of miles has made them no longer regard each other as compatriots.

For these captives, Wang Baobao took the method of killing them every three draws, and the rest were all taken as slaves, ready to be rewarded to meritorious soldiers and Warats after returning.

It's just that among these captives, Wang Baobao found a group of very unusual Golden Horde soldiers.

The average Golden Horde soldier was a Celestial, and these captives were not Celestial at all.

Moreover, these captives were quite hostile to the Celestial Cultists of the Golden Horde, and the Celestial Cultists also looked down on them very unpleasantly.

Wang Baobao immediately interrogated the captives himself.

"It turns out that they are the Zeras." Wang Baobao knew that when Genghis Khan sent his army to the west, the land conquered in the westernmost part belonged to the Urros people.

The Rus' people of this era were almost all vassal states of the Golden Horde.

The ancestors of later generations of Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians and others are now divided into more than a dozen large and small principalities.

These Slavs belonged to the most backward group in Europe, and in the face of the Mongol conquerors from the east, they were naturally not opponents, but could only obediently act as the lackeys of the Mongols.

Through the interrogation of these Rus' captives, Wang Baobao learned that their state was headed by a Muscovy, all of which were vassals of the Golden Horde.

In addition to the annual payment of grain, gold and silver, and women, a religious tax had to be paid since ten years ago.

Because the khans of the Golden Horde converted to the Celestial Sect, it was natural to levy a religious tax on the infidels in accordance with the Celestial Doctrine.

As a result, the life of the Slavs became increasingly difficult, and they could not change their Orthodox faith and could not defeat the powerful army of the Golden Horde, so they could only live in great humiliation.

Today's battle is definitely an eye-opener for these Slavs.

In the eyes of the Slavs, the Golden Horde's army was the most powerful army in the world, whether Georgians, Bulgarians or Poles, they were all defeated by the Golden Horde's army.

But such a powerful Golden Horde army was defeated by Wang Baobao very embarrassed.

The shock that brought these Slavs can be said to be indescribable in words.

"It turns out that you are not Heavenly Christians, but you Orthodox Christians worship a kind of cross?" Wang Baobao asked the captured Slavic generals.

As vassals of the Golden Horde, the Slavs naturally knew a lot of Mongolian language among their nobles and generals, and there was basically no big obstacle to communication between the two sides.

"You are right, Your Majesty! That is the sacred symbol of Jesus on earth! A Slavic nobleman named Andrei knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

These Slavs did not know the origin of Wang Baobao, but they knew that they were Mongols in the eastern steppe, and when they saw that Wang Baobao was the leader of this army, they thought that Wang Baobao was the emperor of the Mongol Empire in the far east.

"I see, it seems that you and those Aso people should be one religion!"

Wang Baobao looked at the crosses in the hands of these Slavic captives, nodded and said.

The Azo people were a people conquered by the Mongols in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus during their westward expeditions, and most of them shared the same faith as the Slavs, that is, Orthodox Christianity.

When the Mengyuan court fought against the Red Turban Army, it once mobilized many Azox people to go on the expedition.

Wang Baobao was naturally very familiar with them, and even knew some about their religious habits.

After talking with these Slavic captives, Wang Baobao became happier the more he talked.

Because he felt as if he had discovered a way to deal with the Heavenly Fang Sect.

Wang Baobao already knew that from the Hezhong region to the west, even all the way to the end of the mountains and seas, all countries and ethnic groups had their own religions.

Among these ethnic groups, religion is law, religion is the state, and religion is ethics.

Even the most powerful conquerors will not be able to rule these groups without a proper religion.

The mighty Golden Horde defeated all enemies, but only a few short decades later, the monarchs and nobles of the Golden Horde, from top to bottom, also chose to convert to the Heavenly Sect.

Because of the huge territory and large population of the Celestial Sect, it seems to be a very good decision for a country to choose the Celestial Sect if it wants to maintain stable rule.

However, because of the massacre in the territory of the Chagatai Khanate, Wang Baobao had already become a public enemy of many Tianfang cultists.

Of course, the Celestial Cultists are not very backbone, during the Mongol expedition to the west, Hulegu broke through Baghdad, ordered ten thousand horses to trample to death the Caliph, the leader of the Celestial Sect, and the Yin Khanate he established did not rule the Celestial Cultists in the same way.

There is a more important reason, which is naturally that Wang Baobao is extremely disgusted with the teachings of the Heavenly Sect.

The sanctity and teachings of the descendants of the prophets of the Tianfang Sect are contrary to the Dayuan Emperor and the ethics of Sinicization, and once he converts to the Tianfang Sect, Wang Baobao will be questioned by the Dayuan Emperor's legitimacy.

The more he talked to these Slavic captives now, the more Wang Baobao felt that Orthodox Christianity seemed to be more suitable for the Great Yuan Dynasty.

In the Orthodox Church, the power of the head of the church was far below that of the emperor, and the power of the bishops everywhere was not as great as that of the feudal lords.

In the Celestial Religion, the religious leaders prime minister, the caliph is even more sacred.

Wang Baobao felt that if he used the Orthodox Church, he could win over millions of Slavs under his command.

If the Slavs could be mobilized and cooperate with themselves to defeat the Golden Horde, wouldn't the future be bright?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and immediately ordered all the Slavic captives to be lifted, and although their weapons and armor were still confiscated, they were given plenty of food and a relatively free range of movement.

Wang Baobao's move immediately made these Slavs grateful to Dade.

Take the initiative to help the Mongol Yuan army to guard and monitor those Heavenly Sect captives of the Golden Horde.

Pity these Heavenly Cultists of the Golden Horde, not only reduced to miserable prisoners, but also humiliated and tortured by two groups of infidels, one in the east and one in the west.

After defeating the Golden Horde's army, Wang Baobao led the Mongol and Yuan armies all the way to sweep away the opposition in the Hezhong region again.

The originally rich and prosperous Hezhong region has been turned into a ruined white land after the wars between Wang Baobao and the Golden Horde.

The Slavs, though not very armed, were very active in the massacre of the Celestials.

Soon these Slavs won the favor of Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao ordered the Slavic general Andrei to be appointed as the general of the Great Yuan Rus, and to lead the 3,000 Slavic prisoners in the Yuan army.

Oh, of course!

Now these Slavs are no longer captives, but the official army of the Great Yuan Dynasty, that is, the Rus' army.

These Slavs soon unleashed wave after wave of massacres in the Transoxiana region, savage and brutal, and showed no mercy to the Celestials, even women and children.

Many people in the Mengyuan army felt that they were cold-blooded and ruthless, but compared to these Slavs, they were still proper good people.

Even the equally barbaric Warats were shocked by what these Slavs had done.

Haohai, the leader of Warat, persuaded Wang Baobao: "Master, these Rus barbarians are like wild beasts, and I have also seen with my own eyes that when they have food to eat, they have to eat human flesh, which is more ferocious than wild wolves, after all, they are as inhuman as beasts, if they rebel against us one day, the consequences will be unimaginable, it is better to kill them all now." ”

Wang Baobao didn't think much of Haohai's worries, because he had already found that although these Slavs were extremely ferocious, they didn't have too strong combat power on the battlefield at all, and it was difficult to threaten the Mengyuan army.

Because when these Slavs slaughtered the common people, they were extremely brave and extremely cruel and had no bottom line.

But.

They were too barbaric and backward, and their discipline and organization were seriously lacking.

On the battlefield, they are all brave individuals, and it is difficult to form a coordinated army.

"A dog is a good dog if it bites!" Wang Baobao rejected Haohai's suggestion in one sentence.

Wang Baobao has already made up his mind to fight the Heavenly Sect world endlessly.

However, he was weak and had to win over these Slavs or Orthodox Christians further away for his own use.

After defeating the Golden Horde, Wang Baobao was busy burning and looting in the Transoxiana region, while sending men to hunt down the nobles of the Western Chagatai Khanate who had fled to the southern mountains.

The Western Chagatai Khanate has been completely finished, but the little khan Babur, supported by Timur the Cripple and others, still has considerable appeal, and Wang Baobao intends to take the opportunity to completely eradicate this hidden danger.

But.

Wang Baobao never expected it.

When he completely wiped out the nest of the Western Chagatai Khanate, his nest was also attacked by the Ming army!
