"Teutonic Knights, it's time for us to go."

Hohenzollern conscripted 5,000 high-ranking Teutonic knights, tens of thousands of knight servants, and an army of 200,000 troops composed of other German princes, starting from Brandenburg and marching towards the Kingdom of Poland controlled by the Hunnic Empire.

The black cross banner, shield, and breastplate of the Teutonic Knights converged into a black torrent.

The Teutonic Knights have a strict hierarchy. The official knights are the core backbone of the knights. These are the real high-level cavalry units. After each knight has money, he can buy better equipment by himself. In addition, each knight also has a dedicated servant, which belongs to the low-level cavalry. Not only that, Hohenzollern also has a large number of pikemen, crossbowmen, and archers formed by citizens and farmers.

"The Knights Templar seems to be with the French lord, and the Knights Hospitaller, in Malta, have they fallen into the hands of the Romans?"

When Hohenzollern saw the Teutonic Knights like a black torrent, he couldn't help but think of the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller.

The Teutonic Knights, Templar Knights, and Hospitaller Knights are the three major knight orders in Europe, and their status is relatively high in the western continent.

In Vienna, Archduke Ferdinand of Austria led 200,000 Austrian-Hungarian coalition troops to cooperate with Hohenzollern to attack Attila's sphere of influence from the north.

Macedonia and Rome launched an offensive from the south.

In the entire Western Continent, more than three million troops are engaged in battle!

The scale of this great battle that swept across most of the western continent was even more exaggerated than the Battle of Mobei, because apart from Rome, other civilizations fought at their doorsteps, and the supply pressure was not as strong as that of the Han Empire Expeditionary Force, so they could mobilize more troops .

For a while, the players in the Western Continent panicked. Many players in the Western Continent evacuated to other cities to avoid the war between the two camps. The number of players who fled from the Hun Empire alone amounted to a million.

On the outskirts of St. Petersburg, a viscount led Boyer cavalry patrolling the sea.

"Viking warship!"

A Boyer cavalry exclaimed, in the sea fog, a dragon-headed warship emerged!

"Use the longbow and prevent them from landing!"

The viscounts of the Grand Duchy of Moscow realized that if the Vikings were allowed to come to land, then they would have to fight the Vikings head-on. In case there are high-level Viking berserkers among this group of Viking pirates, then the boyer cavalry, which is also a high-level unit, will be in danger!

Part of the Boyer cavalry dismounted, and the front row of Boyer cavalry held shields and spears to form a wall, while the cavalry behind took off their longbows and watched nervously at the approaching Viking warship.

The fast and agile Viking warships abandoned the Swedish kingdom's troop carriers,

Unseen on the coast near St. Petersburg, and headed straight to the beach!

"Follow me and kill all powerful enemies!"

Olaf I, the Viking king, raised his battle ax and ordered his warships to attack the coast!

The Viking berserkers of the Umus Chapter followed the king of the Viking civilization, shouting, swinging their battle axes, jumping into the shallow water, wading to attack the boyar cavalry arrayed on the shore!

The Boyer cavalry fired arrows, and the rain of arrows pierced through the air, covering the Umus battle group that hit the coast!

Several Viking berserkers were shot and killed by the rain of arrows, and fell into the sea water with splashes.

Boyer cavalry is also a high-level cavalry, with amazing bow and arrow damage, as long as it hits the vital point, it can also shoot and kill the Viking Berserkers of the Umus Chapter!

"I will fight myself!"

The Viking warship ran aground and shook violently. Olaf I jumped into the sea with an axe, and slashed towards the sea with the axe. Olaf knocked all the arrows into the air.

Hundreds of high-ranking Viking berserkers successfully fought with Olaf on the beach. Among them, the first row of berserkers threw the tomahawks in their hands vigorously. The tomahawks whirled in the air at high speed, piercing through the small shield of the Boyer cavalry, directly killing the Boyer cavalry in the rear!

At least thirty Boyer cavalry were killed by tomahawks thrown by Viking berserkers!

The formation of the dismounted Boyer cavalry was chaotic, and the Viscount led the rest of the Boyer cavalry to attack the Viking berserkers on horseback, trying to drive the group of barbarians back to the sea.

The number of Boyer cavalry is about 800. Under the leadership of a viscount, they took the initiative to launch a heroic charge against Olaf I's hundreds of Umus battle groups!

The heroes and soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Moscow are, in a sense, quite fierce.

Olaf and the Yumus battle group took the initiative to enter a state of rage, holding battle axes, and head-on to the feudal aristocratic cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow!

The war horse came galloping, but Olaf stood still, and the battle ax directly split the horse of a Boyer cavalry in two. The Boyer cavalry on horseback fell heavily to the ground, and what greeted him was the ax blade of a Viking berserker!

About an hour later, the Viscount fled back to St. Petersburg with the remaining Boyer cavalry. The ground was full of dead horses, discarded armor and shields.

The exhausted fighters of the Umus Corps stood proudly on the battlefield and killed about 400 Boye cavalry.

After the victory of Olaf and Umus, more Viking warriors went ashore one after another, and there were thousands of them.

Not all soldiers of Viking civilization are berserkers, and Viking warriors are also strong and weak.

Ekaterina recruited Harald, the hero of the Viking civilization through the national war, and his Varangian guards were considered one of the top arms of the Viking civilization.

Olaf's Youmus battle group is also elite. In addition to the Youmus battle group, Olaf also brought ordinary Viking warriors.

Ordinary Viking warriors are not high-level arms.

"Launder all the surrounding villages and towns, and get supplies before His Majesty the King arrives!"

Olaf was a murderous man who ransacked the villages and towns around St. Petersburg without any psychological burden.

He could already see not far away, the towering walls and towers of St. Petersburg, which was a fortress built by Ekaterina to conquer the Nordic civilization.

The mighty Umus Chapter of the Vikings swept around St. Petersburg, razing the surrounding villages to the ground.

"How many Viking warriors did Gustav bring? How many members of the Umus battle group?"

People in St. Petersburg are in panic, and the murderous Olaf and Umes battle groups are notorious. St. Petersburg has become the last city in the north to stop the northern army.

...

"The Ums group, they participated in the attack on St. Petersburg. I didn't expect Gustav to subdue the Viking pirates active in Northern Europe."

Ekaterina, who led the army into the Don River Basin, received intelligence from the St. Petersburg defenders. She already knew that the legendary Viking hero Olaf and the Umus Corps were loyal to King Gustav of Sweden and jointly attacked St. Petersburg.

The pressure on St. Petersburg was greater than expected. Gustav's Firearms Corps, Grand Duke Vytautas' Polish-Lithuanian Cavalry, and Olaf's Umus Corps were not weak forces in the Western Continent.

"Is it possible that the Umus battle group was the King Knut of the Viking civilization who conquered England?"

Chu Tian is still following Ekaterina, but he has heard of the Vikings' Umus battle group. The Ummus Warband once conquered England, and the Viking hero Canute the Great was once the joint king of Northern Europe and England.

The Umus Chapter is about as capable as the Varangian Guard.

"If the Youmes battle group ascends first, then goes into a state of rage, it will be extremely difficult to defend St. Petersburg..."

Chu Tian could fully imagine how much psychological pressure the Viking Berserkers of the Umus Group would bring to the defenders when they climbed the walls of St. Petersburg.

"I can only choose to trust the defenders of St. Petersburg. On our side, we need to speed up the elimination of the Golden Horde."

Ekaterina is also under tremendous pressure.

"I lead the cavalry and act alone."

Chu Tian personally commanded 120,000 cavalry, separated from Ekaterina's army at night, and marched from another direction, with no other plans.

Fifty thousand Cossack cavalry and a small number of Han cavalry were regarded as bait by Chu Tian. Under the leadership of five Don Cossack chiefs, they disguised themselves as Han cavalry and marched towards the royal city of the Golden Horde, Sarai.

The number of these Cossack cavalry is almost the same as the number of Han cavalry brought by Chutian, so it can play a role in confusing sight.

Ekaterina's 450,000 troops quickly advanced towards the Golden Horde, compressing the living space of the Golden Horde, forcing the main force of the Golden Horde to fight a decisive battle.

The Cossack leader Khmelnytsky had already fought with Subotai's Mongolian cavalry. Khmelnytsky was defeated by Subotai, and more than 3,000 Cossack cavalry were killed!

After Khmelnytsky's defeat, he began to retreat and join forces with Ekaterina.

The Golden Horde has assembled the remnants of the Mobei Mongolian Empire, and it is not what it used to be.

"Subtai, his cavalry is extremely fierce! My Cossack cavalry is vulnerable to his cavalry!"

When Khmelnytsky fought against the Golden Horde Khanate under the command of Chutian, he had not yet felt the horror of Temujin and Subotai. When he led the Cossack cavalry alone to fight Subotai, he discovered that Subotai Simply the Great Demon King.

Subotai's performance in the previous battle was not very strong, purely because Chutian's cavalry bonus was almost the same, or even worse.

Khmelnytsky's cavalry was not able to catch up with Subutai and was defeated by Subutai.

"You only lost three thousand Cossack cavalry, which has exceeded my expectations."

To Khmelnytsky's surprise, the master of the Cossack cavalry, Ekaterina, who ruled the fate of the Cossack cavalry, did not blame him, but forgave him for his defeat.

Yekaterina recalled dozens of generals, holding a parchment map in their hands.

The initiative is in her hands, and she is trying to find a suitable place for a decisive battle with the Golden Horde.

"This wilderness on the left bank of the Don River is a swampy land with dense forests, ravines, and frequent fog. , Batu and others lure them to this wilderness for a decisive battle."

"The Golden Horde is best at using the powerful cavalry on both sides to encircle and annihilate the enemy from the front and rear. If the Golden Horde army can be lured to the swamp, it will suppress the Golden Horde's cavalry advantage to the greatest extent."

Ekaterina's fingers shifted to the location on the left bank of the Don River on the parchment map.

At this time, the Grand Duchy of Moscow still had a rather complicated and wild terrain.

The Polish hussar hero Bathory pondered and asked his lord: "How to bring the Golden Horde into the decisive battle here?"

Ekaterina looked at Sun Bin, the military adviser left behind by Chutian: "I have considered with the counselors in the east to sacrifice some soldiers and horses and lead Temujin and Subotai to the decisive battle site."

"So my Cossack cavalry, their sacrifices were also to attract Temujin and Subotai to come?"

Khmelnytsky thought that the 3,000 Cossack cavalry men he had sacrificed turned out to be the price Yekaterina had to pay to defeat Temujin and Subotai.

In the eyes of the future tsar, the Cossack cavalry is a bargaining chip comparable to the feudal cavalry, but it is only a bargaining chip. When it needs to be used, the Cossack cavalry will be qualified cannon fodder.

"War has a price."

Ekaterina was outside, relentless.

Chu Tian went to ambush, and Sun Bin left behind the layout. He found that Khmelnytsky's loyalty might decline because of this matter, so he supported Ekaterina: "If the Golden Horde cannot be defeated, the Cossacks will rely on it." The Don River Basin and the Volga River Basin that survived were occupied by the Golden Horde. The sacrificed Cossack cavalry was for the better survival of their tribe in the future.”

After hearing Sun Bin's explanation, Khmelnytsky looked a little better.

"Khmelnytsky, I know this is cruel, but this is war. In the next big battle, soldiers from all tribes and city-states will die in battle, with tens of thousands of casualties. Three thousand Cossack cavalry are just the price One. As a subject of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, it is a thousand times better to die with honor than to live in disgrace! My legion has never known what surrender and retreat are! Going out means there is no way out, and if nothing is done, then It’s better not to come back than to come back!”

"If no one has any objections, then we will fight to the death with Temujin and Subotai in the swamp area. The Golden Horde has assembled millions of troops. In fact, among their soldiers, there are a large number of herdsmen who make up their numbers. Their food and grass can't last for too long, and they should be the ones who are eager for a decisive battle."

"After the Golden Horde is destroyed, with the prestige of our Grand Duchy of Moscow, it will become the Tsarist Russian Empire. I will treat all tribes equally."

Ekaterina's tone is unquestionable, with the faint aura of a high-ranking person. As the leader of the Cossacks, Khmelnytsky knew that he had accidentally provoked the authority of the future tsar, and humbly showed weakness to the future tsar: "Please Forgive me, Your Majesty Catherine."

"In the name of the Grand Duke of Moscow, I forgive your faux pas."

Ekaterina looked around at the generals, and everyone lowered their heads slightly. She knew that the establishment of the Tsarist Russian Empire was not far away.

Perhaps, after this war.

Subotai's cavalry entered the Don River Basin, and Muhuali's Tanmachi vanguard general Bulihe Batuer led a team of Tanmachi cavalry as Subotai's eyes and ears.

The horse-riding red cavalry were unscrupulous in the Don River Basin. The Golden Horde summoned a million cavalry to meet Yekaterina's 500,000 troops, and on the surface they had an advantage in strength!

However, only the high-level leaders of both sides know that the Grand Duchy of Moscow has not exhausted its national power. Even if it is defeated, it still has a large population and financial resources. The Golden Horde has exhausted its national strength, and once it fails, it will be beyond redemption.

"We can't fail again. If the Golden Horde perishes, there will only be a piece of Central Asia left with a population of only 20 to 30 million. How can we compete with the Han Empire..."

Subotai repelled the Cossack hero Khmelnytsky, but still frowning.

Khmelnytsky's Cossack cavalry was just the opponent's vanguard, and Khmelnytsky immediately led the Cossack cavalry to flee, and Subotai only captured 3,000 Cossack cavalry at a time.

With Subutai's ability, if Khmelnytsky was stubborn, maybe 50,000 Cossack cavalry would be wiped out by Subutai.

Tanmachi military general Bulihe Batuer rode a Dawan horse with a war eagle resting on his shoulder, and came to report to Subotai: "General, the Tanmachi scout at the front has detected Yekaterina. The traces of the army!"

Subotai was really moved at this time. Ekaterina's army had Varangian guards, Boyer cavalry, Polish hussars, Cossack cavalry, and the hidden main force that Ekaterina didn't use very much-the Tsar guard.

Ekaterina can stand alone against many powerful enemies, unify the principalities of Russia, and put the Grand Duchy of Moscow on the right track, which will soon be upgraded to the Tsarist Russian Empire.

The Tsar's Guard has been guarding the city of Moscow. In the Battle of Mobei, Moscow was surrounded by powerful enemies. Ekaterina dared not transfer the Tsar's Guard to Mobei.

But this time, Yekaterina finally used this hidden army.

The Tsarist Guards are somewhat similar to the Shenji Battalion established by Emperor Yongle.

"Ekaterina's main force, what is their marching route?"

"The main force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow marched along the right bank of the Don River, with about half a million people."

"The right bank of the Don?"

Subotai asked for a map.

The left bank of the Don River borders the sphere of influence of the Hunnic Empire, while the right bank of the Don River is safer for the main force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but the price paid is that the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow cannot cut off the connection between the Hunnic Empire and the Golden Horde .

"If Attila can provide another cavalry force, maybe 100,000 cavalry, appear on the left bank of the Don River, and then cross the Don River, then we will pinch the main force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and win in one fell swoop."

Subodei thought of Attila, who occupied the left bank of the Don.

Attila didn't know if he could still divide his troops.

Subotai hoped that Attila would be the first to deal with the enemies from the east. As long as 100,000 cavalry from the Hun Empire suddenly appeared on the left bank of the Don River, it would definitely cause panic in the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

"Try to ask Attila for help. He is the first to help our Golden Horde win. Our Golden Horde can dispatch 500,000 cavalry to help him defeat Alexander in return."

Subotai still tried to ask Attila for 100,000 cavalry, and at a critical moment, he raided the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow from the left bank of the Don River.

The report from Brigabatul has not yet come to an end: "General, there is also a cavalry force of about 50,000 people who marched rapidly along the left bank of the Don River. They separated from the army and marched alone. They are already far from the main force. It is more than a hundred miles away, and the distance is still widening. The general suspects that this is Chu Zimou's Han cavalry, and he wants to...surprise the city of Sarai."

Subotai's expression changed again. Chutian and Ekaterina split up and led 50,000 Han cavalry to march alone. Most likely, as Prihe Batuer guessed, Chutian planned to surprise the city of Sarai.

The city of Sarai was built in the Volga River Basin, and the defensive capabilities of the city walls cannot be compared with that of Moscow.

Chutian's sneak attack on the city of Sarai may be successful, but Subotai's surprise attack on Moscow city is difficult to quickly cross the city wall of Moscow.

Subotai closed his eyes, and then opened them: "But he only has 50,000 people. As long as the Great Khan keeps Muhuali, Timur, and Batu in Sarai City, plus 300,000 cavalry to defend , then Chu Zimou will fall into the sand. We still have 700,000 cavalry and herdsmen."

"Tell the Great Khan all this."

Subotai is only the number one general under Temujin's command, and the specific ruling depends on Temujin's intentions.

Behind Subotai's vanguard cavalry, the cavalry of the Golden Horde covered the sky and covered the sky. Wherever the horses went, not a single blade of grass grew.

All the cattle and sheep of the Golden Horde Khanate were forcibly confiscated by Temujin's cavalry, exhausting all the national power of the Golden Horde Khanate, and went northward to compete with Yekaterina with all their strength.

"Batu, you lead 300,000 cavalry and herdsmen to stay in the city of Sarai, and use your life to guarantee that the city of Sarai will not fall until we defeat the main force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow."

Temujin left his grandson Batu to guard the city.

Among Temujin's grandchildren, there are also many powerful figures, such as Batu of the Golden Horde, Meng Ge of the Ilkhanate, Kublai Khan, and Xu Liegu.

Batu said solemnly: "I will defend the city of Sarai with my own life, and wait for the triumph of the Great Khan."

"Yelü Chucai, go ahead and ask Attila for a cavalry force of 100,000 people to put pressure on the Grand Duchy of Moscow from the left bank of the Don River. If possible, seize the key areas on the left bank of the Don River and force the Grand Duchy of Moscow to go to war in the wild. .”

Temujin considered Subotai's suggestion, and asked Attila for another cavalry, intending to take the lead in solving the threat from the east.

As the chief civil servant, Yelu Chucai was sent to the Hungarian Empire.

Temujin used all the national power of the Golden Horde, and he couldn't wait for a decisive battle.

Ekaterina faced pressure from the north and had to fight decisively as soon as possible.

Both sides are trying to win the war.

"The whole army goes north to meet Ekaterina's army!"

After Temujin made the deployment, he had no hesitation.

Since both sides are eager for a decisive battle, they can only fight to the death.

The Golden Horde used all its national power, and 700,000 cavalry were overwhelming, many of whom were herdsmen between the first and third ranks.

Among the four mastiffs of the Mongol Empire, apart from Subotai as the vanguard, Jelme, Jebe, and Kubilai followed Temujin around.

Temujin also had Chi Laowen, Timur as generals of the Qixue army, and his eldest son Jochi.

"Wait until you defeat Ekaterina, and then come back to deal with Chu Zimou who was delayed by Batu. Boerhu, Boershu, I will avenge you!"

Temujin had hatred for Chutian. Two important generals of the Qixue Army and his son-in-law died at the hands of Chutian's generals, and a Qixuejun soldier talisman fell into Chutian's hands. hands.

The two people had hatred because of their struggle for hegemony, and they were already in dire straits.

Chutian did not give up the crusade because he fled to Eastern Europe, but persevered in the crusade against Temujin, obviously wanting to prevent future troubles forever.

In the Hungarian Empire, Attila was somewhat similar to Temujin, and had to embark on the path of militarism.

These nomadic civilizations lack sufficient national strength to carry out a war of attrition, and they must defeat powerful enemies as soon as possible.

Attila also recruited millions of troops in an attempt to defeat Alexander at the expense of the Hunnic Empire's national fortune.

"Temujin, he still wants a cavalry of 100,000 men? At his peak, an empire and four Khanates were stronger than my empire and vassal states. Why did he act so cowardly? "

After hearing Yelu Chucai's intention to come, Attila couldn't help being puzzled that he wanted to ask for a support army again.

Yelu Chucai knew that Temujin had already had a psychological shadow on Chutian, but he couldn't say clearly: "We are sweating, and he must be 100% sure to defeat the opponent, so he wants to ask His Majesty to send 100,000 cavalry to fight against Chutian from the moment of death." The left bank of the river threatens the main force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow."

Attila was silent: "I have arranged for Gustav and Vytautas to assist you. If you are confident that the Grand Duchy of Moscow will be destroyed within two or three months, I can promise Temujin."

Yelu Chucai lobbied: "One war can determine the world, please don't doubt it, Your Majesty."

Attila looked at Bleda: "Bleda, you have been frustrated in the east. This time, you will lead 100,000 cavalry to garrison the villages and towns near the left bank of the Don River and follow Temujin's orders. One month at most. This month, this cavalry must come back. Facing the pressure from Alexander, Caesar and others, I can’t stand alone.”

"I?"

Bleda was defeated by Chutian's cavalry in a surprise attack in the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and he still has psychological shadows. Hearing that his younger brother, Attila, the emperor of the Hunnic Empire, planned to let him deal with the Grand Duchy of Moscow again, he couldn't help being terrified.

"Yes, stand up wherever you fail."

Attila's tone was beyond doubt.

"I... obey..."

Bleda knew that even though Attila was his own brother, Attila's order could not be refused, otherwise Attila would regard this as a provocation to himself and even try to eradicate his own brother.

Bleda reluctantly assembled 100,000 cavalry to help Temujin.

"Damn it, I don't want to fight the cavalry in the Far East again."

Bleda talked to herself before setting out.

Chutian's cavalry seemed to be his nightmare.

Even so, there are ferocious Han cavalry in front, and Attila, the whip of God, behind. Bleda is sandwiched between the two, and he can only take one step and watch one step.

"Temujin seems to be afraid of me..."

Chutian was ambushing soldiers and horses on the left bank of the Don River at this time.

The 50,000 Han cavalry, mainly Cossack cavalry and a small number of Han cavalry arranged to enter the Golden Horde, forced Temujin to increase the number of troops staying in Sarai City. At the same time, a small number of Chutian's main cavalry disappeared, and the initiative was once again in his hands.

When his scout cavalry learned that Temujin had left 300,000 troops to guard the city in order to deal with 50,000 Cossack cavalry disguised as Han cavalry, Chutian knew that Temujin was afraid of him.

If you are afraid, you will lose.
