Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 671: Battle of the Don (2 in 1)
"The army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, crossed the Don, and formed a formation on the left bank!"
The main force of Temujin and Zhuchi's Golden Horde approached the main force of Ekaterina, and the vanguard scout cavalry on both sides continued to clash, and hundreds of people were killed.
The army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which was originally marching along the right bank, suddenly turned to the left bank to defend after the Golden Horde army approached, cutting off the connection between the Golden Horde and the Huns.
"They want a decisive battle on the left bank... The left bank is mostly jungle and swamp, and the cavalry will be weakened. It seems that she has already figured out the location of the decisive battle."
Temujin learned that Ekaterina's army had moved to the Left Bank formation, and probably guessed Ekaterina's intentions.
Tanmachi of Mu Huali was familiar with the terrain of the Don River basin and knew that the wilderness where Yekaterina was located was not very suitable for Temujin's cavalry to fight.
Zhu Chi rode a war horse and discussed with Temujin about the advance and retreat: "Father Khan, our 700,000 soldiers have come with all our national strength, and we are overwhelmed with food, grass, cattle and sheep. Even if there are many rivers and swamps on the left bank, there are restrictions on us. , but it does not mean that the cavalry cannot be used. We have an advantage in numbers, and even if it is exhausted, we can defeat the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.”
Temujin's face was gloomy and uncertain, and the choice before him was very simple-whether or not to cross the Don River, in the wilderness on the left bank of the Don River, and fight against the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
"Mu Huali, go and find out the width of the battlefield on the opposite side to see if it is suitable for cavalry combat."
"Yes."
Mu Huali personally led a team of red cavalry scouts to go to the left bank to conduct reconnaissance and engage with the scout cavalry on the opposite bank.
Ekaterina's army had suddenly crossed the Don River at night, changing the location of the decisive battle, leaving Temujin who had thought the decisive battle on the right bank was empty.
"The middle is flat, the left and right sides are broken, and there are many jungles and swamps, so the infantry in the middle must block the frontal assault of the Mongolian cavalry."
"Harald, you lead the vanguard army. After the battle, you will slow down the impact of the Mongolian cavalry. I will personally command the central army."
"Nevsky of the Glacier, Dmitry of the Don, each of you commanded 100,000 people to defend the terrain that was not conducive to the Mongol cavalry charge on both sides. "
Ekaterina sent Harald's Varangian Guard, as well as 30,000 heavy infantry and crossbowmen from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, as a vanguard regiment, in front of the plain in the middle. Among the heavy infantry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, there are heavy axemen with hand-to-hand combat capabilities, which are used against cavalry.
"The width of the entire battlefield is only about thirty miles. Among them, the flat ground suitable for cavalry attacks on the front is less than ten miles. The two sides are dominated by jungles and swamps. Only by defeating the left and right sides is it possible to attack the Grand Duchy of Moscow from the flanks or rear."
Mu Huali quickly explored the terrain on the left bank of the Don River, and Ekaterina's intentions were completely exposed to the army of the Golden Horde.
"She still underestimated my cavalry. Cross the Don, on the left bank, and fight with Catherine."
After discovering Yekaterina's intentions, Temujin chose to fight with Yekaterina on the left bank of the Don River, wanting to completely annihilate the main force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
The Golden Horde cannot sustain a prolonged war.
A group of Mongolian cavalry crosses the Don River.
The current general of the Coy Xue army, Timur, led his horse to cross the river. He looked at the narrow terrain on the opposite side and was not very worried.
On the opposite field, there is still terrain available for Mongol cavalry to attack. The cavalry bonuses of Temujin, Timur, and Subutai are higher than those of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
And even when dismounted, Mongolian cavalry are still excellent archers and can be used as infantry.
"Xiao Chuo seems to be captured by Chu Zimou. If there is a chance, she can be rescued. Her ability can improve the combat power of the army."
During this period, Timur finally found out that after the Battle of Mobei, Xiao Chuo and Xiao Talin of Liao were all captured by Chutian, while Yelu Abaoji led the remnants of Liao and was unwilling to leave They were familiar with the East and fled back to the Horqin grassland.
"The short-sighted and stupid Yelu Abaoji, he doesn't know that the easternmost land has been divided up. If he stays in the Horqin grassland, he will only lose his life. Only when he comes to the west and takes advantage of the complicated situation here, can he Potential to open up."
When Timur heard that Yelu Abaoji and Wanyan Aguda were still staying in a place they were familiar with and were unwilling to leave their original land, he chose to stay in the Eastern Han District and sneered.
It is not easy for them to open up the situation in the Eastern Han District, because the territory of the Eastern Han District has already begun to solidify. The various princes of the Han Empire will join forces to defeat the enemy when facing the threat from the nomadic civilization.
Only the West or Central Asia, which has many civilizations and complex relations, has enough population and depth to open up the situation and use the contradictions between various civilizations to build a new empire.
Attila used the inherent contradictions between European civilizations to coerce and induce a group of allies, which inspired Timur.
"The Great Army of the Golden Horde appears!"
The Cossack cavalry patrolling the Don River spotted the vanguard of the Golden Horde.
A steady stream of Mongol troops appeared, and the cavalry units of Subutai, the king of the field who defeated the Cossack cavalry, emerged, with machetes, bows, spears, and neighing horses. The cavalry of Subutai was equipped with oriental armor, and more prepared to say, it was an armor system influenced by the Han Empire.
The Cossack cavalry was already afraid of the Subutai cavalry, and Subutai caused a lot of losses to the Cossack cavalry.
The appearance of the elite cavalry of Subutai on the left bank of the Don River quickly caused anxiety in the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
Harald stood up, and the 30,000-strong vanguard corps with heavy infantry as the main force formed a group, with spears and long axes, and the murderous aura filled the air. Harald looked at the coming Mongolian cavalry.
Subutai was unafraid of the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and even came to a stone's throw, stopped, and confronted Harald's heavy infantry vanguard army.
From a distance, the Mongolian cavalry was blackened with flags and flags.
Harald squeezed out the dense phalanx of heavy infantry, holding the battle axe, came to the front of the formation, staring at the opposite Subutai: "This is not where you should come, get out!"
Subutai looked at the burly Viking hero not far away: "If the Grand Duchy of Moscow surrenders, you can still maintain your current power and status, and even in our Golden Horde, you can have a higher status. "
"Die!"
Harald took a few steps forward, and the cavalry next to Subutai fired a dozen arrows, stabbing the ground in front of Harald.
"I didn't expect the cavalry to be quite accurate..."
Harald originally wanted to go up and catch Su Butai, but the Mongolian cavalry's amazing horse-shooting ability changed Harald's face. If he rushed out hastily, he might be shot and killed by the Mongolian cavalry of Subutai.
"Waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Great Khan."
Subutai did not launch an attack without authorization, he was waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Golden Horde under commander Temujin.
Two powerful armies, one cavalry and one infantry, faced off on the left bank of the misty Don River. Behind them, each represented a powerful civilization.
"His Royal Highness, the Mongolian cavalry has appeared, and Harald's vanguard army has already confronted Subutai, and the two sides may break out at any time."
Batory came back from the front and reported the situation ahead to Ekaterina who was in the back.
"Let Harald learn to be patient and wait for Temujin to arrive."
Ekaterina is not afraid of Temujin, she has fought many times with Temujin, and Temujin is also an old rival.
She's not defeating Subutai's vanguard, but Temujin's main force.
More and more Mongol cavalry appeared on the left bank of the Don, filling the narrow terrain.
The narrowness of the left bank of the Don is beyond Temujin's imagination. Hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen crowded on the left bank of the Don, unable to care for each other.
"Is this Catherine's intention? But she will be disappointed because our cavalry, even in such terrain, will still crush them."
Temujin saw the Golden Horde's 700,000 troops crowded on the left bank of the Don River, unable to form formations.
The terrain on the left and right sides of Ekaterina's army on the opposite side was bad, and it was not suitable for cavalry to detour, so the detour tactics that were used in the past were basically unable to be used in this battle.
"Zhuchi and Bieerge (son of Zhuchi), you lead the infantry and cavalry to attack the left side. Muhuali and Bulihebatuer command the infantry and cavalry and attack the right side. Subutai, Wuliang united Taiwan and Zhebie, led the elite vanguard cavalry, attacked frontally, and I, Timur, Chilaowen, Zhelemei, and Kubi came, and then advanced!"
Temujin does the deployment.
The battlefield on the left bank of the Don was narrow, so Temujin could only choose three routes to fight, fully utilizing his strength.
The Mongolian cavalry attacking the left and right flanks may face the dilemma of dismounting and fighting on foot, but Temujin believes that he has many cavalry under his generals.
The bonus of Chutian alone can be applied to a maximum of 100,000 cavalry soldiers, while the number of soldiers on the opposite side is 500,000. Chutian alone cannot take care of it, and there will always be a breakdown.
On Temujin's side, there are a lot of people who can command the cavalry, and the bonus provided for the cavalry is exaggerated. There is also a 25% bonus of the system, which can offset the negative effects brought by the terrain.
"Subutai, Zhebei, you two joined forces to take the lead in using cannon fodder to consume the opponent's stamina, and then I sent Timur and Chi Laowen to lead the Qixue army to pierce the enemy line in one fell swoop!"
Temujin made up his mind to defeat the Grand Duchy of Moscow. There must be a battle between two powerful civilizations for **** of the Moscow region.
"If you can't completely wipe out the opposing vanguard army, Su Butai is willing to come and see you."
"Zhebei is willing to fight to the death for the Khan!"
"Wuliang will go forward forever!"
Subutai, Zhebei, and the son of Subutai, the future famous general Wuliang, are all loyal to Temujin, and they are also the most powerful thugs under Temujin's command.
Temerine and Chi Laowen, two generals of the Qi Xue army, lead the Qi Xue army.
The Cowardly Xue Army has gone through many battles and recruits new soldiers after each battle. At present, it is somewhat out of touch, but it is still a formidable terrorist force.
Even a level 10 recruit, the basic panel of the ninth-level arms is still very scary. Even if some low-level arms are at full level, plus the bonuses of many characteristics, they can't be compared with the Qi Xue army.
When Timur and Chi Laowen heard that Temujin planned to use Qi Xue's army to fight hand-to-hand with the heavy infantry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, they knew that it was a hard fight.
The narrow terrain is destined to be a meat-crushing battle, and whoever cannot hold on to the end will collapse completely.
"Reward the whole army!"
Temujin orders all his cavalry to eat and drink and prepare for battle!
As the son of Subutai, Wu Lianghetai inherited his father's military capabilities and is one of the representatives of tiger fathers without dogs.
He was observing the heavy infantry corps commanded by Harald on the opposite side. The Maozi people were fierce and fierce, and the heavy axemen brought a lot of threats to the Mongolian cavalry.
If on the steppe, the Mongolian cavalry can play the heavy-handed axe soldier, but the terrain chosen by Ekaterina made the Mongolian cavalry have to confront this heavy infantry regiment head-on.
Harald is another fierce general. The Mongol cavalry attack is destined to fill the small battlefield with corpses.
"Use minions."
Subtai ruthlessly drove out the servants of the Golden Horde and pressed against the vanguard of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
This time the Golden Horde can gather a million troops, more than half of which are servants and herdsmen, which is why it has such a momentum.
In Subutai's eyes, the existence of the servant army is to consume the enemy.
About 30,000 minion cavalry as cannon fodder for the first attack on the Harald Heavy Infantry.
30,000 cavalry may not seem like a lot, but in fact, if placed on a small battlefield, at a glance, there are densely packed warhorses and cavalry, bright sabres, sharp spears, and arrows filled with arrows. Quiver.
The Golden Horde came with all its strength, and all cavalry and weapons were thrown into this decisive battle to determine the ownership of Eastern Europe!
Subutai commanded the light cavalry, Zhebei commanded the marksman, and Wuliang Hetai was fully equipped with armor and commanded the Mongolian iron cavalry, as the third echelon of the Harar heavy infantry regiment.
The first echelon is the cannon fodder of the Golden Horde, the second echelon, the light cavalry of Subutai and Zhebei will step forward to harass them with cavalry and shooting, and finally the Mongolian iron cavalry of Wuliang and Taiwan will attack.
In the rear of the vanguard cavalry headed by Subutai, Temujin personally commanded the main force of the Mongolian cavalry, using Timur and Chilaowen's Qi Xue army as a sharp knife, after the vanguard cavalry made a breakthrough, he attacked Yekater frontally. Linna's squad.
It's hard to imagine a small field, where millions of troops are assembled and brutal hand-to-hand combat tactics are used to decide who wins and who loses between two powerful civilizations.
The army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, defending on the left is Dmitry of the Don River. The city of Ryazan he defended was captured by Subutai and was afraid of the Mongol cavalry.
He wiped sweat from his brow nervously, and the hand holding the sword trembled.
After the legendary cavalry heroes such as Temujin, Subutai, Timur, and Muhuali joined the Golden Horde, its strength was directly doubled. Under normal circumstances, the Grand Duchy of Moscow could not fight against it.
He had some difficulty understanding why the lord Catherine decided to face Temujin on the left bank of the Don, unless Catherine had confidence in herself.
Ekaterina has confidence in herself, and Temujin is no exception, that's why Temujin decides to take the initiative to enter the final battle field set up by Ekaterina.
"If we, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, are defeated, the Grand Duchy of Moscow will probably perish."
Dmitri of the Don, lacking confidence in himself.
Across from him, his opponents are the true rulers of the Golden Horde, Juchi and Bie Erge.
Zhuchi brought some of the elites of the Golden Horde -- the Eldest Son Army, the Puppet Xue Army (Golden Horde), and the combat capabilities of these cavalry are quite amazing.
Defending the right flank is Nevsky the Glacier, who historically defeated the Swedes' expansion to the north, and at the Battle of Lake Chud, defeated the Teutonic Knights branch of the Knights of the Sword, avoiding the Rus region from being destroyed. The conquest of the Western Catholic countries and the legendary hero of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
He was facing the main force of Mu Huali's Tan Machi army. With the terrain, he could try to resist it, but he was not so nervous.
On the battlefield, except for Yekaterina's Tsarist Guard, who never engaged in the war with the Golden Horde, in the jungle, there was a team of soldiers and horses carefully peeping at the battlefield.
"We need to be patient."
Chutian led a main force of cavalry and was ambushed in the jungle behind the left flank of the main force of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, waiting for an opportunity.
Ekaterina's main force has been continuously strengthened to prevent direct breakthrough by Temujin's cavalry. It is a battle formation for coordinated operations.
It is not the first time that two people have joined forces to fight, and they still have some confidence in each other's abilities.
Iron Eagle Scout's Warhawk cannot be used.
Although the war eagle can gain a visual advantage, when the enemy sees the war eagle, they will immediately notice that Chutian's cavalry is nearby.
During the patient ambush, Xiao Chuo was massaging Chu Tian's shoulders and felt depressed. He was also a military and political all-rounder, why is his current status similar to that of a small secretary?
Golden Horde Khan King City, Sarai City, Batu personally commanded 300,000 cavalry and herdsmen to stay in the royal city, the whole city was under martial law, and the patrols around the city of Sarai were strengthened.
Whether Temujin, Subutai, Zhuchi, or Batu all knew that a cavalry of 50,000 people tried to bypass the main force of the Golden Horde's 700,000 army and attack the city of Sarai in the rear.
Therefore, Batu, as if he was facing a formidable enemy, raised his spirits and planned to meet the formidable enemy Chutian.
"Once there is any defeat in the field, immediately return to the city of Sarai, and defend the city until the Khan and his father capture the city of Moscow."
Bathu is dying.
Although according to the intelligence inference, Chutian only brought 50,000 cavalry to attack the city of Sarai, although the normal cavalry will lose their attributes when attacking the city, and although the number of cavalry in Batu is six times that of Chutian, Batu still does it. Well, prepare to be defeated.
People are in the city, people are dying and the city is dying, Batu has a sense of tragic and solemn.
Faced with a powerful enemy, die generously.
The 50,000 cavalrymen who attacked the city of Sarai were the Cossack cavalry led by the Cossack leader Yermak and others. They were familiar with the terrain of the Don and Volga rivers, so they marched very fast, and they could often bypass the Golden Horde. main force.
After Khmelnitsky was defeated by Subutai, he only lost 3,000 people, mostly because he was familiar with the roads of the Don River Valley. After all, many Don River Cossacks made a living by looting the caravans that passed by. Familiarize yourself with the local terrain.
In order to make the Cossack cavalry look more like the Han army cavalry, Chu Tian also sent the Iron Eagle Scout Squad and the Iron Eagle Scout's war eagle to this Cossack cavalry.
The iron eagle scout cavalry's war eagles soared in the air, making the Golden Horde more convinced that the 50,000 cavalry that attacked the Golden Horde's Sarai City were the 50,000 Han army cavalry led by Chu Tian himself.
"We were 50,000 people, and the order we received turned out to be to attack the city of Sarai. Could it be that the Grand Duke and King Xia plan to send us to die? It is said that the Golden Horde has summoned a million cavalry. There are 200,000 to 300,000 cavalrymen in the city, and we are sheep entering the tiger's mouth."
A Cossack leader hesitated after entering the Volga Valley from the Don River.
They were temporarily assigned to Chutian by Catherine, and Chutian ordered them to attack the city of Sarai. This order, in the eyes of the Cossack leaders, seemed like a fantasy.
Chutian seems to think too highly of their Cossack cavalry.
The Cossack cavalry is indeed a relatively good light cavalry, but it does not mean that they can win more with less. There are still many heavy cavalry in the Golden Horde.
"What are you afraid of, if you can't beat it, just delay the time~IndoMTL.com~ The Cossack leader Yermak is not afraid.
Chutian is quite accurate in seeing people. He knows that the legendary hero Yermak who had the courage to conquer Siberia with hundreds of Cossack cavalry is a ruthless character. Even if he is carrying out dangerous tasks, Yermak will do it for gold, silver and status. will successfully complete the task.
Despite the concerns of the Cossack leaders, Yermak dominated the Cossack cavalry and continued to approach the city of Sarai at Chutian's request.
Under the city of St. Petersburg, Gustav, the hero of the north, successfully besieged the city and merged with the Viking warrior Olaf, all the way unimpeded, and no one dared to stop Gustav's legion.
Gustav came under the city of St. Petersburg, but his face was not very good, because the fortifications of St. Petersburg were stronger than he thought.
St. Petersburg is different from Xiacheng. Xiacheng is located in the hinterland and is absolutely safe, while St. Petersburg is located in the north of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. As a bridgehead for war with Nordic civilization, Yekaterina built a lot of fortifications.
Gustav is also reluctant to spend too much of his troops in the tough battle, but the situation at hand makes it impossible not to fight.
