Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 668: The crusade against the Golden Horde
"King Gustav II of Sweden, with a Swedish army of 70,000, attacked St. Petersburg again! The Grand Duke of Lithuania was forced to send 50,000 people to assist Gustav!"
Moscow city, Yekaterina assembled an army of 500,000 people, ready to conquer the Golden Horde and completely destroy the Golden Horde. The 500,000-strong army, many of which were newly recruited soldiers, or the armies of noble feudal lords who had arrived from various places.
However, the scouts deployed by Catherine in the Kingdom of Sweden witnessed Gustav II leading an army to attack St. Petersburg!
"Northern Heroes got involved in the war!"
The nobles of the Grand Duchy of Moscow are panicking.
Gustav's firearms almost represent the top level of the Western Continent. The only weakness is that Gustav's troops have always been small.
"Gustav is far more powerful than Brida, we must fight quickly."
Ekaterina learned that Gustav II was officially involved in the war, so she ordered the little duke to be taken from St. Petersburg to the relatively safe city of Moscow.
She left 100,000 defenders in St. Petersburg and ordered residents of the surrounding villages and towns to enter St. Petersburg for refuge.
The Grand Duchy of Moscow also has a fleet in the Baltic Sea.
St. Petersburg is currently the only estuary available to the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
Some cities in the north were occupied by Gustav when Yekaterina had no time to look north, and St. Petersburg became the next city to be conquered by the Kingdom of Sweden.
"You are based in St. Petersburg, should you want to build a fleet and occupy northern Europe?"
Chutian thought that the center of Catherine's rule had always been St. Petersburg, not Moscow, and quickly realized Catherine's intentions.
Obviously, Ekaterina usually caused trouble everywhere, offending the Kingdom of Sweden and the Commonwealth of Persia and Lithuania.
Now Attila draws the enemies of the Grand Duchy of Moscow into the war, and Gustav does not refuse at all.
"Don't worry, I've been running St. Petersburg for a few years, and the popular opinion is 95. Gustav, he can't take St. Petersburg soon."
Ekaterina has confidence in the defenders of St. Petersburg.
Chu Tian counted the troops used by Yekaterina. There were 100,000 defenders in St. Petersburg, 50,000 defenders in Moscow, 50,000 defenders in Smolensk, and 500,000 troops used to attack the Golden Horde. Just these legions, there are 700,000!
This doesn't even include the defenses of other cities.
It can be seen that the city of Moscow was invaded by soldiers, which completely angered the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Yekaterina directly chose to blast the troops to overthrow the Golden Horde.
No need to say much about the fate of angering Maozi.
"Lend me fifty thousand Cossacks."
Chutian has less than 40,000 Han high-level cavalry and 30,000 servants, and he borrowed 50,000 Cossack cavalry from Yekaterina.
The Cossack cavalry is the eagle dog of the Tsar, and Chutian is also used to using Cossack cavalry as light cavalry.
"No problem, a Cossack hero from the Don River recently turned to me, Yermak, and I'll give him your command."
Ekaterina readily borrowed troops.
The number of Cossack cavalry she currently controls exceeds 100,000. As long as the "Tsar-Ekaterina II" feature is activated, Cossack cavalry will be recruited from all over the country.
Chutian's army swelled to 120,000, most of them cavalry.
The Cossack leader Yermak who conquered Siberia was temporarily under the command of Chutian.
The battle against the Golden Horde actually took place in the southern part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, so the supply pressure was relatively small.
"Tomorrow, 500,000 troops will go south to completely destroy the Golden Horde."
Ekaterina is determined.
An army of half a million people is just a soldier. In addition to soldiers, there are also millions of people who transport food and weapons.
The day before the expedition, thousands of nobles assembled outside Moscow to reward the entire army and boost morale. The 500,000 troops knew that the next day they would go south to attack the powerful Golden Horde, so they feasted on it.
"Yermark, by the order of the Archduke, obey your orders."
The Don Cossack leader Yermak, along with four other Don Cossack leaders, came to Chutian to obey orders. Each of them, in charge of ten thousand Cossack cavalry.
Yermark's identity background is a Cossack robber from the Don River, who looted the merchants who came and went, and he had a bandit spirit.
"All cavalrymen have enough food and drink, and you follow my orders directly."
Chutian thought about his commander value. Because of Sun Bin's special auxiliary bonus, Chutian's army, which is suitable for a commander value of 96, should not be a problem to provide a bonus for 120,000 cavalry.
I don't know how powerful the Cossack cavalry heroes are. Chutian estimates that Yermak and the others have far less bonuses to the cavalry than him, but when it comes to splitting the Cossack cavalry to fight alone, it is estimated that not many people are better than these Cossack cavalry leaders. .
Even with the imminent battle, these Cossack cavalry remained optimistic and, at the same time, enthusiastically served the future tsar.
In addition to the Cossack cavalry, the soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Moscow were even more agile. Before the crusade of the Golden Horde in the south, they were excited with barrels of wine.
"If the Golden Horde is destroyed this time, with the prestige of the Grand Duke, it is estimated that he will be enthroned as the Tsar."
"We people, as long as we gain military merit and prestige in the war to destroy the Golden Horde, and the Grand Duchy becomes an empire, we will be heroes."
The nobles of the Grand Duchy of Moscow responded positively to Catherine's call, not only because of Catherine's personal prestige, but also for a high position in the Russian Empire.
The Roman Republic is going to be promoted to the Roman Empire, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow is going to be promoted to the Tsarist Empire.
"In this battle, I must have won more heads than you."
"With the exception of those one or two Vikings, no one's force is my opponent."
"There are people with more force in the Vikings?"
"Don't underestimate the Vikings."
Chutian's bodyguard Dianwei is competing with Ekaterina's bodyguard Harald, and there are a few empty barrels beside them, apparently competing for each other's drinking capacity not long ago.
The two have been competing with each other for a while, crusades against the Golden Horde, and compares who can capture more heads.
Xiao Chuo is sought after by the Cossack cavalry. She also has the characteristics of accelerating the Sinicization of nomadic tribes, and her personal charm has a high impact on nomadic tribes, fishing and hunting tribes.
"Dmitri of the Don, Nevsky of the Glacier, and several grand dukes, their army organization is similar to the decimal system of the Mongolian cavalry. The cavalry here is more like the eastern cavalry, and there are also some Byzantine style."
Chutian is observing the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. These cavalry are somewhat similar to the cavalry in Central Asia and West Asia, and even have shadows of Mongolian cavalry.
The character and style of a civilization is easily influenced by surrounding civilizations.
The Golden Horde had a lot of influence on the Grand Duchy of Moscow in history, so the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow more or less imitated the Mongolian cavalry.
"Lord, this group of Cossack cavalry, their top ranks are luxurious and greedy, while the bottom soldiers are poor and brave."
Hua Mulan followed Chutian, and she was also observing the Cossack cavalry as Chutian's temporary subordinate.
Xiao Chuo hugged Mulan from the rear, startling Mulan: "Let me guess. The Grand Duke of Moscow gave the upper Cossacks salaries and lands, and these upper Cossacks mastered the Cossack army, and then drove and deceived the lower ones. The Cossack cavalry, who consolidated the rule of the Grand Duke of Moscow, used them as cannon fodder to expand around."
"Xiao Chuo...!"
"Good sister, I'll let it go."
Hua Mulan felt helpless to Xiao Chuo to please herself.
Xiao Chuo realized that he wanted to enter the Xiawang Mansion, and he had to try to win over Mulan.
"She is right, this is...the way the tsar enslaved the Cossack cavalry, so the upper class of the Cossack cavalry was extravagant and corrupt, while the lower class cavalry had good combat effectiveness. Of course, there were also many Cossack cavalry uprisings."
Chu Tian praised Xiao Chuo's vision, Hua Mulan was not as good as Xiao Chuo when it came to enslaving the servant army.
"Why don't you give me a squad of Cossacks?"
"No."
Chutian rejected Xiao Chuo's request. Before she pledged her loyalty, she would not be allowed to lead troops. Otherwise, she would lead troops to join the Golden Horde, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Chutian still remembers that in the battle of Ili River Valley, Temujin was defeated by the rebellious Wusun cavalry, and Xiao Chuozhen wanted to betray, which was more destructive than the Wusun cavalry.
"Hmm..."
Xiao Chuo found that Chu Tian still didn't trust him and had no other choice. People have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves.
Chutian wants her to promise her loyalty, but her hidden ambitions are not low, and she is not very willing to give in.
Ekaterina took the little duke and patrolled the various legions, 500,000 troops, and hundreds of heroes were used.
The next day, 500,000 troops were deployed one after another to march on the Golden Horde!
The number of the army is extremely large, and the battle flag covers the sky!
After Ekaterina distributed the 50,000 Cossack cavalry to Chutian, there were still 450,000 troops left, with 50,000 as the vanguard, 200,000 as the middle army, and 100,000 troops on the left and right sides.

Ukrainian Cossack chief Khmelnitsky led the Cossack cavalry as the vanguard.
"The main force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow is heading south, known as an army of five million."
"Chu Zimou is bluffing again. At most, they only have one-tenth of their claimed strength."
The 500,000-strong army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow has been dispatched, and Temujin has been informed.
There will always be a group of players or peddlers who will sell information about the number of people for profit.
Chutian's so-called army of five million did not frighten Temujin.
"This time, we will fight to the death with Chu Zimou and Ekaterina! Hurry up, take the head of the opponent's vanguard back!"
Behind Temujin, a dense crowd of Mongolian cavalry and servant army cavalry crossed Temujin and entered the Don River again.
The Golden Horde has no surplus food and grass, and must defeat the half-million army as soon as possible.
Subutai, as Temujin's vanguard general, has set his sights on the cavalry of the Cossack hero Khmelnitsky.
