Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 246 The Conqueror from the East

"Dear brother, people from the Nizhny Novgorod Principality have contacted us many times and want us to marry them together. Should we agree?" Angelika, the Queen Mother of the Principality of Moscow, asked her brother.

The Principality of Moscow and the Principality of Nizhny Novgorod, as the two most powerful countries among the Slavs, are full of competition and necessary exchanges with each other.

Now everyone has seen the weakness of the Golden Horde, so it is in the interest of all Slavs to unite against the Golden Horde.

Grand Duke Dmitry Vasilyevich of the Principality of Nizhny Novgorod sent people to the Principality of Moscow to request marriage many times, and concluded a trustful alliance between the two parties.

The Grand Duke of Moscow is too young to marry, of course.

The object of Vasilyevich's marriage proposal is Angelika, known as the beauty of Moscow.

"Of course you can't agree to the request of the Shylovgorod Principality! They are a pack of wild wolves, always trying to annex our Moscow Dukedom. If you marry Dmitry Vasilyevich, then he will also get The right of succession to the Principality of Moscow is too dangerous for Dmitry Ivanovich!"

The Grand Duke of Moscow and the Grand Duke of Nizhny Novgorod, both named Dmitry.

It's just that one of their father names is Vasilyevich and the other is Ivanovich.

The current Principality of Nizhny Novgorod is stronger than the Principality of Moscow. If the two families marry, Angelica marrying Dmitry Vasilyevich will not be conducive to the development of the Principality of Moscow.

After Angelica and Ivan made up their minds, they decided to let the Principality of Moscow continue to put pressure on the Golden Horde along with many Slavic countries until the Golden Horde agreed to their request to reduce taxes and offerings.

The resistance methods of the Slavs are limited to this, and they dare not really raise troops to fight against South Korea into Tibet.

The news that the Golden Horde had suffered a serious defeat was not only widely spread in the territory of the Slavs, but also quickly spread to Poland, Lithuania, Bulgaria and other places.

These countries are coveted for the vast and fertile, but wild and backward Slavic plains.

But they did not dare to provoke the powerful Golden Horde before.

Now, hearing that the tiger of the Golden Horde has been severely weakened, it is about to start moving again.

At least more than 20 troops began to gather gradually. Once the news of the continued failure and decline of the Golden Horde came, they would not hesitate to attack these Slavic countries and rob them of territory and population.

. . . . . . .

After three full days of consideration and discussion, Wang Baobao and his generals and officials finally decided that the final strategy was to launch an all-out attack like the Western Golden Horde.

Not only to defeat the Golden Horde, but also to destroy them and completely replace them.

Wang Baobao and his generals had already made up their minds that as long as they captured the city of Belgosarai, they would immediately convert all of them to the Orthodox Church.

And in order to grab a noble and lofty title for himself.

Wang Baobao also found an excellent allusion from the Orthodox Bible based on his diligent study these days, which can be applied to Mongolians like himself.

It is recorded in the Orthodox Bible that when Jesus, the spokesperson of God, was just born, three sages from the east gave Jesus gifts and blessings, and bestowed Jesus with natural wisdom. After doing these things, the three An oriental sage flicked his clothes again to hide his achievements and fame.

Therefore, the origin of the identity that Wang Baobao assigned to himself involved these three oriental sages.

One of the sages is the ancestor of the Great Mongols, the incarnation of Changshengtian.

Another sage is Lao Tzu from China.The other is Confucius, the representative of Confucianism.

As for the difference of four or five hundred years between the birth of Laozi and Confucius and Jesus, there is no need to pay attention to it at all.

The Bible is full of such flawed legends from beginning to end, and not everyone believes them.

Therefore, as a descendant of the three sages of the East, it is most appropriate for Wang Baobao to convert to the Orthodox Church.

Wang Baobao's deceit directly proves the close and long-standing connection between Great Mongolia and Christianity.

Now that the Golden Horde Navrus has launched a jihad to the east.

So now Wang Baobao has followed suit and launched a jihad against the Golden Horde in the west as an Orthodox Christian.

The grand master of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Baobao, who was a pioneer of Christ, was the first to convert to the Orthodox Church and accepted some baptism.

And a brand-new banner was formulated, as the symbol of the Yuan Dynasty.

Dayuan belongs to the gold family, and this flag is dominated by golden yellow.

On it is embroidered a cross with a black border and a white background, symbolizing the wolf and white deer in Mongolian legend.

The white cross on the gold background has become a symbol of the Mongolian Kingdom after it converted to the Orthodox Church.

It's just that large-scale conversion to the Orthodox Church requires the presence of the archbishop to do some presiding ceremonies and proofs.

So now only Wang Baobao has made a personal conversion under the witness of Andre.

Wait until the Golden Horde captures Belgosarai before converting all of them.

but.

They can print this flag with a white cross on a gold background and a black border first.

"Jihad! Golden Crusade!"

Now the Yuan Dynasty has launched a holy war against the Golden Horde Khanate!

This is the war cry!
The mighty army of the Yuan Dynasty swept away from the Hezhong area to the Qincha grassland in the north.

The various tribes along the way did not dare to stop this powerful soldier and horse. Occasionally, some loyal troops of the Golden Horde tried to resist, but they all turned into corpses all over the place under the artillery and charges of the Mongolian Yuan army.

In less than two months, the army of the Great Yuan Mongolian State crossed the eastern part of the Chincha Grassland from the Hezhong area and arrived at the banks of the Volga River.

.........

"Teacher, the convenience ahead is the city of Sarai."

Wearing a Mongolian robe, Andrei Vasilyevich pointed to the front and explained the terrain ahead to Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao looked up, and saw a looming city in the distance, appearing on the other side of the Volga River.

Now they are still too far away, they can only see a rough outline, and they can't see the elegance of the capital of the Golden Horde.

However, Wang Baobao believed that it would not take long for the city of Belgosarai to completely surrender under his feet.

All he needed to do now was to cross the Volga and defeat the last of the Golden Horde troops across the river.

In fact, the Golden Horde didn't have much strength to struggle.

On the contrary, because Wang Baobao converted to the Orthodox Church, after the news spread to the Golden Horde, it caused panic among many Tianfang believers.

Wang Baobao massacred Tianfang believers in the Hezhong area, which aroused the disgust and hatred of many Muslims.

Originally, many people still hoped that the conqueror of the East could choose to believe in the teachings of Allah at a critical moment.

But now Wang Baobao has converted to the Orthodox Church and has become a complete pagan, completely killing the last illusion of the Muslims in the Golden Horde.

Under such circumstances, the Golden Horde immediately took advantage of this panic, mobilized a large number of Tianfang believers, and returned to their own army. They gathered outside the city of Belgosarai. There were almost [-] troops, all of whom were pious Composed of Tianfang believers.

Many were jihadists from Anatolia, Georgia, and the southern regions of the Caucasus Mountains.

Everyone wants to defeat these Eastern Mongols holding high crosses on the west bank of the Volga River.

The wishful thinking of Khan Navrus of the Golden Horde was to strike halfway.

The vanguard of the Mongolian Yuan army that released Wang Baobao first crossed the Volga River. When half of them crossed, the whole army immediately attacked and defeated the vanguard on the west bank of the Volga River. The remaining Mongolian Yuan army would inevitably be completely defeated.

A victory to save the fate of the Golden Horde can be held tightly in his hands.

But Wang Bao is a veteran in the battlefield.

Especially the experience of fighting the Red Turban Army and the Ming Army is very rich, it is impossible not to see the conspiracy of Navrus.

But Wang Baobao also decided to use his tricks.

Since the enemy planned to attack halfway, he took the initiative to get into this trap, sent his most elite Janissary infantry and artillery to cross the river first, and used a small number of troops to build a strong line of defense on the west bank of the Volga River. The army comes to a central blossom.

However, this decision carries great risks.

According to the estimates of Wang Baobao and his generals, when they pass 3 to [-] people, the army of the Golden Horde will immediately launch an attack.

In such a short period of time, it is not only necessary to cross the river with 3 or [-] people, but also to establish a solid defensive position on the other side of the Volga River.

A very difficult task anyway.However, now the arrow is on the string and has to be launched!

Wang Baobao and his Mongolian and Yuan generals had no choice.

Everyone cheered up. At this time, Wang Baobao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered a formation formed by the famous Emperor Wu of Song Dynasty Liu Yu in history.

That is the moon array.

Wang Baobao immediately ordered to concentrate all the carts, spears, muskets, and artillery in the army to the forward troops crossing the river.

Two days later.

On a sunny morning.

With the Volga River as the boundary, the two sides put on a posture ready to fight at any time.

Wang Baobao personally led the vanguard of the Mongolian Yuan army and began to cross the river at a shallow bank.

They collected and made many wooden rafts, and then used these wooden rafts to build a simple pontoon bridge on the river to pass light infantry.

After spending half a day, about 1 Mongolian troops arrived on the west bank of the Volga River.

At this time, Khan Navrus of the Golden Horde showed a smile of success in his plot.

In his view, the Mongolian Yuan army has only one-tenth of its own strength on the west bank of the Volga River. When the whole army is overwhelmed, they can all be driven into the river to feed the fish, and the remaining Mongolian Yuan army will inevitably trample on each other. Defeated and fled.

After Wang Baobao commanded the army to reach the west bank of the Volga River, he immediately put all the carts and spears in a semicircular formation.

The carts are stacked horizontally, connected end to end.

The spear and the horse were stuck in the gap between the carts, deeply inserted into the soil on the ground.

Many Mongolian and Yuan soldiers with bows, arrows and muskets stood on the carriages, using the carriages as a cover, ready to launch a defensive counterattack against the enemy at any time.

Because the Mongols’ shipbuilding and pontoon-building techniques were too poor, Wang Baobao’s most important artillery could not be transported because it was too heavy. Only a dozen extremely light and small artillery could be transported.

but.

It is precisely because of these small cannons and the addition of a batch of muskets that this copycat version of Queyue Formation is more powerful.

The bumpkins of the Golden Horde had never heard of Liu Yu, let alone Que Yuezhen.

For a while, I didn't see the power of this formation, but felt that with a row of thin spears and carriages, it was impossible to stop their [-] troops from charging.

Following the order of Navrus Khan, when the Mongol army crossed the Volga River with 2 people, the army of the Golden Horde launched a large-scale charge.

The howling cavalry rushed towards Wang Baobao's army like a black tide.

Wang Baobao was calm and calm, standing in the very center of the formation.

With an order, when the army of the Golden Horde came into range, the artillery of the Mongolian Yuan army fired collectively between the gaps in the carriages.

The spewing irons, like a torrential rain, swept away thousands of troops!

The cavalrymen of the Golden Horde wailed and fell to the ground, allowing the friendly troops in the rear to trample them into puddles of blood and mud.

The casualties caused by more than a dozen small artillery pieces are far from hindering the charge of tens of thousands of troops.

When the army of the Golden Horde rushed to the front of the Queyue formation, the muskets of the Mongolian Yuan army began to fire.

These heavy muskets ejected pellets the size of broad beans.

Such a large projectile, not to mention the chain mail commonly equipped by the cavalry of the Golden Horde, even with two layers of armor, still cannot stop the bombardment of this kind of musket.

Moreover, the infantry combat effectiveness of the Mongolian Yuan army was also quite powerful, and they withstood the charge of the Golden Horde army.

The two sides quickly fought on the front line, and the Mongolian and Yuan army had the upper hand by virtue of their excellent equipment and good fighting skills.

Navrus gradually found that his wishful thinking had failed.

The Golden Horde army, which has several times the strength of its troops, has no way to break through this thin line of defense.

Navrus was greatly anxious and panicked.

It reminded him of the failure he experienced not so long ago.

At that time, the Mongolian Yuan army also looked weak, as if it would be defeated as soon as it charged, but it caused the army of the Golden Horde to suffer a big defeat.

Now that the previous tragedy is about to be repeated, Navrus naturally cannot allow this to happen again.

With a loud shout, he pulled out the saber in his hand, shouted vigorously forward, led his own soldiers, leaped forward and personally participated in the supervision of the battle.

Under the supervision of Naurusk Khan and inspired by Allah, the army of the Golden Horde broke out with unprecedented courage and tenacious will.

They withstood heavy casualties and continued to launch round after round of attacks on the Mongolian Yuan front. During this process, the Mongolian Yuan army still used pontoon bridges and rafts to transport soldiers across the Volga River.

But the speed was too slow, and it gradually couldn't keep up with the wear and tear on the front.

The Queyue Formation set up by the Mongolian Yuan Army gradually showed signs of being unable to hold on.Faced with this situation, Wang Baobao became more calm. He looked around and tried to find loopholes in the Golden Horde army.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that Wang Baobao saw a huge crescent moon flag behind the troops of the Golden Horde fighting in chaos.

That was the banner of the Khan of Navrus.

There is also a huge Sulu ingot next to the Crescent Banner.

Undoubtedly, Navrus.
