Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 680: Gustav Retreat
On the outskirts of St. Petersburg, the Norse lion Gustav's army is besieging St. Petersburg, and he is still enduring relatively inefficient trebuchets that bombard the walls of St. Petersburg.
"If there were bronze cannons, I would have captured St. Petersburg."
Gustav looked up at the towering walls of St. Petersburg, a strong fortress that was really difficult to conquer with cold weapons for a while.
Olav leads the Youmus Chapter, in conjunction with trebuchets, to storm St. Petersburg.
The Viking Berserkers of the Yomus Chapter climbed to the city walls and went straight into the frenzy, causing heavy losses to the St. Petersburg defenders!
The defenders of St. Petersburg could only rely on their numerical superiority to block the Vikings' Youmus Chapter, and the two sides fought on the city wall.
"An average of 30 soldiers is required to kill a Berserker of the Yomus Chapter."
The commander-in-chief in charge of the defense of St. Petersburg was the Grand Duke of Novgorod, who counted the casualties caused by the Viking Berserkers of the Yomus Chapter to the defenders.
After the Berserkers of the Yomus Chapter enter a rage, the St. Petersburg defenders must eliminate them at all costs, otherwise St. Petersburg may be breached.
At least 300 Viking Berserkers of the Yomus Chapter were killed in the siege, and tens of thousands of the St. Petersburg defenders fell directly under the Viking Berserker's axe.
In order to repel the Viking hero Olaf, hundreds of defenders of St. Petersburg were beheaded by Olaf alone.
The St. Petersburg defenders were able to hold on to their numbers.
A war eagle fell, leaving the iron eagle scouts in St. Petersburg ahead of time, and immediately informed the Grand Duke of Novgorod.
"The Golden Horde has been destroyed by the great Grand Duke of Moscow, and it is only a matter of time before Gustav, the lion of the north, is defeated!"
"Reinforcements are coming, we will hold on for a while and we will be victorious!"
The Grand Duke of Novgorod summoned the defenders of St. Petersburg and announced to them that after the main force of Catherine had overthrown the Golden Horde, they had used the teleportation array to transmit some of their troops to the nearest city to St. Petersburg. A large city, then marched towards St. Petersburg.
The defenders of St. Petersburg heard that the formidable enemy of the Golden Horde had finally been defeated, their morale lifted, and Ekaterina's prestige greatly increased.
Gustav's attack on St. Petersburg did not go well as the morale of the St. Petersburg defenders rose.
"It seems that the defenders of St. Petersburg have learned that the Golden Horde is over, their reinforcements are coming, and we have missed the opportunity. We lack bronze artillery"
Gustav was acutely aware of the rising morale of the St. Petersburg defenders, and St. Petersburg must have realized something.
At this time, the envoy of the Huns leader Attila has arrived.
Brida was once again an envoy, representing Attila, in contact with various allies or vassal archdukes.
"Gustav, Vytautas, Temujin has been defeated and is discussing with our majesty to march west together. Our majesty needs the ability of the two to defeat Alexander."
Brida meets King Gustav of Sweden and Grand Duke Vytautas of Lithuania who are attacking St. Petersburg, and Attila needs their abilities.
Even Alexander and Caesar are far inferior to Gustav when it comes to the Firearms Corps.
"Temu really failed, too soon."
Gustav was dissatisfied with the fall of the Golden Horde.
It was obvious that St. Petersburg was in sight, but Gustav had no time to continue his attack on St. Petersburg.
"There is a proverb in the East, one victory and one defeat, the military is always the case, and the failure of the Golden Horde does not mean that our Huns will fail. Just help our majesty to defeat Alexander, Constantine, Hohenzollern and other Westerners. Lord, our majesty will give you what you want in return after victory, land, population, gold and silver, freedom."
"Is Attila's promise really credible?"
Archduke Vytautas' personal freedom was controlled by Attila. He heard that Attila was willing to give him back his freedom and couldn't help but move.
Vytautas is now being monitored by the Huns.
Brida said: "Our Majesty, we will never break our word and plunder the spoils of the Macedonian Kingdom and the Holy Roman Empire. We can even agree on the proportion of the division."
"I need a second military payment to maintain the cost of sending troops."
Gustav demanded a second installment of military spending from the Huns represented by Breda.
Brida discovered that Gustavs were similar to mercenaries and depended heavily on the gold and silver provided by the Huns: "We will pay you a price that pleases you. Just defeat Alexander and them and you will get millions of gold. ."
"Withdraw."
After receiving a steady stream of military funds provided by the Huns to maintain the Nordic army, Gustav, according to Attila's deployment, left a small group of troops to continue to siege the city, bluffing, and made the teleportation array in St. Petersburg invalid, and then the army Leaving St. Petersburg, retreating to Tallinn City, and using the fleet docked in Tallinn City, the troops will be transported back to the royal city of the Kingdom of Sweden.
"One day, I will capture St. Petersburg"
Gustav takes one last look at the towering castle towers of St. Petersburg before leaving St. Petersburg.
If he can get the blueprint for the bronze gun, and his siege ability will be greatly enhanced, then it is possible to capture this fortress that Ekaterina worked so hard to manage.
Bronze artillery, no lord has yet obtained this kind of siege and field weapon that is more convenient than a counterweight trebuchet.
In the era of Gustav, bronze cannons should be very popular. However, among lords, bronze cannons must have special firearms and arms to use such weapons. At the same time, bronze cannons produced by special manufacturing drawings are required. was recognized by the system.
"The Nordic Legion seems to be starting to retreat"
The Grand Duke of Novgorod, who was defending St. Petersburg, was selected as the commander of one side, and he also possessed certain abilities.
Despite the bluffing of Gustav's small group of troops, the Grand Duke of Novgorod senses that Gustav is starting to retreat.
"Go out of the city to defeat them, open the teleportation array, and let the reinforcements come over and pursue them!"
The Grand Duke of Novgorod has the agility of a fighting nation. I understand that Gustav left part of his troops in order to force the teleportation array to fail, so that Ekaterina could not teleport the main cavalry to pursue, so he opened it immediately. At the city gate, personally command a team of Novgorod heavy infantry, and go out of the city to attack the Nordic legions left behind!
The gates of St. Petersburg opened, and thousands of Novgorod heavy infantry armed with spears and long-handled tomahawks rushed out of St. Petersburg to attack the camp of the Kingdom of Sweden!
However, what Gustav left behind was not an ordinary legion, but the murderous Yomus Chapter!
When the Archduke of Novgorod saw Viking berserkers wearing Norse helmets and wielding battle axes coming out of the camp, he couldn't help but regret leaving the city to attack the broken Norse army.
Olav personally led the assault, threw a flying axe at his waist, and slashed the enemy generals!
The Archduke of Novgorod saw his subordinates being beheaded by Olaf with an axe, and his voice trembled: "Return to the city!"
Thousands of Novgorod heavy infantry were defeated by the Berserkers of the Yumes chapter led by Olaf, who chased them all the way to the bottom of the city wall of St. Petersburg. The defenders used ballistas and shot more than a dozen Yumu The Viking Berserkers of the Squadron, Olaf left with his chapter.
Even the Viking Berserkers can't stand head-on against ballista or catapult attacks. This is also the key that St. Petersburg can hold.
Olav was a little unwilling, St. Petersburg was an insurmountable wall for his Yomus Chapter.
"The dead, nine hundred."
The Grand Duke of Novgorod fled back to St. Petersburg, and counted the number of losses. The Novgorod heavy infantry, which was equipped with excellent armor, was massacred by the Yumus Chapter.
The Grand Duke of Novgorod, who was taught a lesson, did not dare to venture out of the city, and continued to hold on to St. Petersburg, patiently waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Olav, after ensuring that Gustav and Vytautas led the soldiers to leave, retreated to the beach with the Yumus Chapter, and pushed the Viking pirate's leading warship into the sea without panic. Boating back to northern Europe.
Ekaterina and Chutian's cavalry arrived in St. Petersburg about two days later to relieve the siege of St. Petersburg.
The arrival of reinforcements, the Nordic army has completely left, leaving a messy village outside St. Petersburg.
"St. Petersburg defending the city, a total of 20,000 soldiers and 30,000 militiamen were killed and wounded, and less than 10,000 enemies were killed"
The Archduke of Novgorod shamelessly reported to Ekaterina the results of the defense of St. Petersburg. The casualties on both sides were completely uneven.
"Although Gustav's legion is small in number, as a northern lion, he only brings tens of thousands of people on each expedition, and at most no more than 100,000, but they are all elites."
Ekaterina knew that Gustav cherished the small population of the Kingdom of Sweden, and basically followed the line of elite soldiers. It was impossible to have hundreds of thousands of troops like the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
Gustav's legions are all professional soldiers, mainly high-level arms, and military expenditures are also high, so they repeatedly ask Attila for military expenses.
"Youmus Chapter"
Chutian clears the battlefield outside St. Petersburg ~IndoMTL.com~ found that many Novgorod heavy infantry died from axe wounds, somewhat similar to the damage caused by Harald's Varangian Guard.
He had not yet fought Gustav, who met with Attila's envoys and left St. Petersburg in time.
According to the Grand Duke of Novgorod, Olaf's Yumus Chapter has at least a thousand Viking Berserkers, and the average rank seems to be lower than that of the Varangian Guard. However, the St. Petersburg defenders also killed four hundred Viking Berserkers.
It is impossible to know how many Viking Berserkers the Yomus Chapter has. It is said that Viking Knut the Great, who attacked England, seems to have more Yomus Chapter fighters.
"The two highnesses, King Alexander of Macedonia, sent envoys to invite the two highnesses to lead the army to attack the Huns and capture Temujin and Attila alive."
Not long after Chutian and Ekaterina cleared the siege of St. Petersburg, Alexander's envoy took the initiative to come and request to join forces to destroy Attila and gain points in the national war.
