In the spring of 1675, after receiving a large amount of supplies, the Western Expeditionary Army led by Wan Li and others decided to launch a general attack on the Rakshasa troops who were stubbornly resisting in Vladimir City.
A general attack was not a mindless forceful attack. Although the city could be breached, it would also cause the Western Expeditionary Army to suffer heavy casualties.
Every soldier of the Western Expedition is precious. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Wan Li and others will naturally not use this stupid tactic of killing a thousand enemies and damaging themselves by eight hundred.
Especially when Wan Li, Zhang Huangyan, and Zeng Ying are all three fellow disciples, they can put their heads together and come up with a sound strategy.
The main force of Wanli was responsible for the siege, and the task of reinforcements was handed over to Zhang Huangyan's special forces. Zeng Ying led his troops to maintain the supply line with Yang Zhan's troops in Nizhny Novgorod.
The first section is from Nizhny Novgorod to Kazan, the second section is from Kazan to Ufa, and the third section is from Ufa to Chelyabinsk.
Further east are Kurgan, Omsk, Barnaul and other places, and so on.
It takes about ten relays to complete to get the supplies shipped from the mainland.
After receiving supplies intermittently like this, the Western Expeditionary Army saved up enough capital to launch a general offensive.
Before ordering the infantry to attack the city, Wanli first ordered the construction of a mound higher than the city head to be used as cannon moss.
Naturally, the Russian troops in the city would not let the other side threaten their own safety by using earthworks.
However, the heavy artillery that could cause serious damage to the opponent had already been wiped out by the Ming Army's artillery force.
Tsar Alexei I continued to urge Moscow's arsenal to provide heavy artillery to Novgorod, but the production rate was far from keeping up with the loss rate.
It would take at least half a month to make a cannon, but when firing against the Ming army, it would take less than ten minutes for both the cannon and the men to be beaten to a mess.
The loss of well-trained artillery was even more serious. At this point in the war, there were very few gunners left with more than one year of experience.
This also directly led to a decrease in artillery hit rate, thus creating an irreversible vicious cycle.
Because of its excellent artillery performance, the Ming army relied on the advantages of long range and fast firing rate of heavy artillery to ensure the safety of artillery during confrontation. At the same time, it also received a large number of experienced artillerymen sent from the mainland.
In the case of a long-term confrontation, the actual combat capabilities of the artillery have not been weakened by the passage of time. Instead, they have been indirectly improved due to the decline in the quality of the opponent.
Because of the uncertain factor of the river bank, the tactic of "encircling three and missing one" was not used initially in this battle. Wanli adopted a more stable one-word push.
With the help of armored bulldozers, the Ming army successively built hundreds of cannon mosses less than two miles east of Vladimir.
Each gun moss can accommodate a heavy cannon. After the weapon is in place, it forms an absolute fire suppression on the enemy forces in the city.
After a long and intense bombardment, the city wall on Vladimir's east side was completely destroyed ten days later.
The defenders also wanted to make emergency repairs at night, but the strength of the temporary wall could not withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery.
I repaired it no less than four or five times in a row, but all failed.
Tsar Alexei I realized that there was no hope of holding on and ordered the entire army to retreat to Moscow.
During the bombardment, Mandai ordered the bulldozer troops to dig a trench around the city. It didn't need to be too deep, just enough to delay the opponent's infantry advance.
The opponent did not break out immediately, indicating that they still had certain illusions about holding on to the place.
In this case, Wanli decided to send tank troops to go around the rear and cut off the opponent's retreat.
According to the prisoners' accounts, there are at least 200,000 Rakshasa soldiers in the city.
If they can be destroyed in one battle, the destruction of the Rakshasa Kingdom will be greatly accelerated.
On March 25, Tsar Alexei I decided to withdraw the entire army to Moscow.
The cavalry opened the way, the infantry followed, and the 10,000 cavalry troops and fleets dispatched from Moscow were responsible for the response.
"His Majesty the Tsar's warriors! Charge to Moscow!"
"Come on! No one can stop us!"
"Conquer the yellow-skinned monkey's position, and we can go home!"
The originally low morale became high again with the possibility of escaping to heaven.
Especially since there was Russian cavalry leading the way, the infantry regained their confidence and started charging with shouts of "Ula".
Everyone had had enough in the city, and now they finally had the chance to return to Moscow.
The city wall over there is stronger, and there is an arsenal in the city, so weapons and equipment can be obtained anytime and anywhere.
In comparison, holding on to the city of Vladimir is a very unwise choice. It is actually more appropriate to use the city of Moscow to defend the enemy.
There are millions of warriors in Tsarist Russia, and it is impossible for a little yellow-skinned monkey to win the final victory.
As long as we can delay in Moscow for a while and wait for His Majesty the Tsar to assemble an army of millions, we will definitely be able to defeat these damn yellow-skinned monkeys!
Even the nobles think so, so running away won't be a big problem.
"Da da da da da da da da..."
But when they appeared on the west side of Vladimir City, both the Russian cavalry and infantry heard a strange sound.
It was actually coming continuously from the opposite side, and the sound was more dense than a single-shot artillery or rifle. They couldn't guess what weapon was making such a sound.
Mandai deployed four hundred tanks on the west side, one hundred of which were equipped with machine guns.
As the prey comes within range, the machine gunners get the opportunity to show off their skills.
Weapons that can fire bullets continuously are envious of soldiers holding rifles.
It seems that using this weapon to "slap" Rakshasa soldiers is much more exciting than riding a Yangma...
The machine gun was like eating corn, and it didn't take long to eat all the twenty rounds of bullets on a bullet plate.
The rhythmic sound of firing made the surrounding infantrymen and even the tank crews in the vehicle intoxicated.
If tanks are the nemesis of enemy cavalry, then machine guns are the nightmare of enemy infantry.
The more infantry the opponent charges, the happier the machine gunners become.
The problems that had previously caused headaches to the infantry were easily solved with the help of machine guns.
Although the rate of fire of this newly launched weapon is not high, it is superior to the fact that it fires continuously and automatically.
Without jamming, one spring plate can be eaten in ten seconds, and about four spring plates can be polished in one minute.
This means that the firepower output of one machine gun per unit time is equivalent to that of more than two well-trained infantry.
If replaced by new recruits who are not skilled in pulling bolts, there will probably be five or six people.
The most important thing is that because the machine gun has a secondary shooter who is responsible for feeding ammunition, the firepower can be sustained.
"ah……"
The Russian cavalry at the front of the team first experienced the "wonderful feeling" brought by this weapon.
Even if fifty cavalrymen rush towards a tank together, more than half of them will die under the combined force of tank guns and machine guns.
The remaining cavalry will be harvested by rifles, and only one person who can really break into the Ming army's defense line will survive.
The most classic scene is that of Russian cavalry charging in hundreds or thousands, falling in front of Ming tanks one after another.
Many Russian cavalry did not understand what was going on until they died. They just saw from a distance that the opponent had a terrifying weapon that could fire continuously.
About 20,000 cavalrymen fell in front of the Ming army in less than a quarter of an hour, almost like moths flying into flames. Only about 5,000 people escaped.
Together with the remnants of the troops who returned on the battlefield, Alexei I still had about 15,000 cavalry in his hands, but he no longer dared to put the last elite into battle easily.
If a large number of infantry can be used to tear through the yellow-skinned monkey's defense line, then precious cavalry can be saved.
The scene just now made Alexei I shocked and anxious, and he was already a little overwhelmed.
It seemed that the yellow-skinned monkey's firepower had improved to a certain extent compared to last time, but he did not dare to draw a conclusion easily.
At this time, an army of 200,000 infantrymen pressed forward together. Alexey I believed that the probability of breaking through the opponent's blockade was very high.
Due to the disconnect between cavalry and infantry, the Ming army's machine guns gained valuable cooling time.
Many Russian infantrymen thought that the yellow-skinned monkeys were running out of gunpowder, and they finally got the favor of the goddess of luck.
After rushing to a distance of about five hundred feet, the Ming army opened fire for the second time.
At first it was just artillery, which already surprised the Russian infantry.
However, not long after, the devilish sound of "ta da da da" sounded on the battlefield again, causing the Russian infantrymen to panic when they saw their companions shot and fell to the ground.
Different from the previous results of being shot, one was shot here and the other was shot somewhere else.
Now, everyone in the front row has been knocked down. This is the most terrifying place.
Everyone in front of him was dead, which meant that he would also be killed by the yellow-skinned monkey.
But behind him was the officer supervising the battle. Unless the centurion of the team was killed by the yellow-skinned monkey first, it would be difficult to turn around and run away.
At this time, in order to escape and ascend to heaven, most of the Russian infantry still rushed towards the opposite side like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the opponent's troops are far smaller than our own.
Maybe less than 50,000, or even only about 30,000.
There are 200,000 people on our side, so what is there to fear?
As long as one person rushes forward, there will be a second, a third, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand!
Until those wanton yellow-skinned monkeys are crushed in one fell swoop, or even killed!
If you don't even dare to charge towards Moscow, then you might as well just wait there and die...
"So many Rakshasa soldiers!"
"It's our man's turn to get rich!"
"Quick! No noise!"
If there were not a large number of machine guns to assist in the battle, this group of reckless Rakshasa soldiers would have been able to rush past them.
But now we have hundreds of machine guns, 400 tanks, 10,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, and a large number of mortars.
This means that there is no fear of the opponent at all. The more Rakshasa soldiers rush over, the better, although the actual number of prey is already too much for the blocking troops.
The fine tradition of my Master Ming Dynasty is that I have to finish the dishes I ordered with tears in my eyes!
Wan Li, who was supervising the battle at the scene, felt that if the situation continued to develop, if he couldn't eat, he might really be starved to death.
It was similar to fishing in many rivers in Xianbelia. There were so many fish that the fishing nets could burst.
This would be unthinkable inside the pass, but in the vast north, it is a very common thing.
I originally thought that there were many fish in the river because there were not many Rakshasa soldiers, but there seemed to be more Rakshasa soldiers in front of me than there were fish in the river.
This is good, my subordinates always feel that there is not much silver coin to earn from the Western Expedition.
Now that the millions of silver coins in the city have escaped, it depends on whether you can keep it.
If the pocket can be held, there is no doubt that the silver coin will fall into the pocket.
Otherwise, it will go to another place, and you may not know whose pocket it ends up in...
"Beat me hard, don't let a single Rakshasa soldier escape!"
With so much money in front of them, battalion and company-level officers naturally gave death orders to their subordinates like misers.
It has been almost ten years since the beginning of the Western Expedition.
It's not easy to come across such an opportunity to make a lot of money. If you miss it easily, you will probably have to hit the wall with your head after the war.
Under the fierce firepower of the Ming army, the Russian infantry fell to the ground one after another.
Even at the cost of nearly 50,000 casualties, they could not break through the Ming army's defense line.
As a result, the Russian army began to turn in a northerly direction, intending to go around it. At least the difficulty would be greatly reduced.
Wanli had already prepared for this. The cavalry troops were responsible for maneuvering on the defense line to fill holes.
The tank with its transverse body can also move in parallel, and can appear wherever there is danger.
The defense itself has loopholes, but Mandai did it deliberately.
If the opponent wants to use the fleet in the river to cover its retreat, it must break through the defense line near the river.
If you give up this route, you can take another route.
I won't fight hard anymore. Zhang Huangyan's 20,000 cavalry have been waiting for a long time...
To put it bluntly, Wanli's strategy is to block the opponent's charge when they attack.
If the Rakshasa army wants to escape, just wait until the third junior brother leads his troops to cover up and kill them!
Both paths have advantages and disadvantages, it depends on the other party's choice.
Since the other party has to try to take one of the two paths, then Master Wang will accompany him to the end.
For the Russian army, which had just experienced something close to a demon, it would be a great blessing to escape unscathed as long as they were not immediately killed or injured by the yellow-skinned monkeys.
It's not a big deal to walk a little longer, running back to Moscow is the most important thing at this time.
Instead of tearing apart the opponent's defense line, he lost fifty to sixty thousand people.
This made Alexei I very angry when he saw this, but there was nothing he could do.
For the party with the advantage of military strength, a detour means that a direct force attack cannot defeat the enemy.
Alexei I could only decide to return to Moscow first, and then find a way to repel the invading yellow-skinned monkeys.
"Oh my God!"
"The flying demon is coming!"
"Run! Don't let him catch you!"
A bunch of airships with bloody shark mouths suddenly appeared in the sky, and the Russian soldiers were almost stunned by the sight.
That huge shape is as terrifying as a god descending to earth.
But in the eyes of everyone, these monsters are not gods, but human-eating demons!
After the beginning of spring, the wind direction changed and began to favor the Ming Dynasty King's division.
Wanli dispatched more than sixty airships in this battle, and basically all those that could take off were already floating.
Because the airship is too large, the vast sky seems to be crowded with so many airships.
Floating in the air, it makes people feel like they are a densely packed group, which brings huge psychological pressure to the other party.
These airships are not for reconnaissance. The purpose of taking off today is to participate in the war.
To be specific, drop bombs on the heads of Rakshasa soldiers!
Before reaching the target's head, these behemoths naturally appear harmless.
But when the huge shadow began to cover the small black spot on the earth, death suddenly came to the world...
The test bombs were naturally not live bombs, but indicator bombs filled with orange-red paint.
If it falls to the ground, it will splash out over a large area, allowing airship soldiers hundreds of meters in the air to see clearly.
After the indicator bomb blooms in the area where the prey appears, the airship begins to "lay eggs"!
This directly put tens of thousands of Russian infantry on the ground into a situation where they could only be beaten but unable to fight back.
If you shoot with a rifle, the range is not high enough, and the bullets will fall and hurt your own soldiers.
If you use light artillery to fire, either the elevation angle is not high enough, or there is no threat to the airship, which is tantamount to adding to the fun.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The Battle of Vladimir, which took place in the spring of 1675, was a memorable battle.
Because there was the first carpet bombing in human history!
Although Emperor Haojing, who received the battle reports and video records afterwards, thought it was a bit exaggerated.
However, historians and military strategists of the Ming Dynasty unanimously believed that this bombing was enough to go down in history.
Due to the large-scale use of airships in Mandai, the scene was extremely spectacular. In addition, there were so many Rakshasa soldiers fleeing on the ground that it was like moving ants.
The resulting video record of the battle was broadcast as a film and earned millions of silver coins after the war...
Countries friendly to the Ming Dynasty, such as France, the Netherlands, and the Ottomans, also financed the purchase of the film as a military teaching case.
Due to its own design and structural flaws, the airship's bomb load has not been significantly improved even after many upgrades and improvements.
It can carry at most 400 kilograms of aerial bombs, twenty of them in the sky. If there are more, it will become a one-man airship.
The amount of bombs dropped by a group of airships is actually not as good as that of a heavy artillery battalion that can fire continuously for an hour.
However, the constant "laying of eggs" above their heads caused great panic to the Russian soldiers who were determined to escape.
If you form a dense formation, you may die instantly. If you don't, you may be killed by the opponent's cavalry.
As a result, under the interference of airships, the involvement of cavalry, and the pursuit of tanks, nearly 150,000 Russian infantrymen eventually turned into a group of headless flies...
Combat units were directly disrupted, and the command organization collapsed. Both cavalry and infantry were looking after themselves and were busy escaping westward.
The so-called retreat also turned into a rout, and under the continuous attacks of the Ming army, the Russian army was unwilling to fight, and they voluntarily gave up the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.
Words like "execute orders", "obey orders", "don't run around", etc. all turned into nonsense.
No one cares, and no one follows it.
Everyone already understands one thing. If you can run, you can save your life. If you can't, it will be completely over.
Many nobles also realized a more serious problem, that is, can Moscow still be able to hold on when the army is defeated?
If they lost 300,000 troops in Vladimir, or even more, how many troops would be left to defend Moscow?
The yellow-skinned monkey's offensive continues unabated, and their morale is high. How can we continue to fight when our own side has been beaten so dizzy?
With Moscow in danger, some nobles are already planning to go to further places such as Smolensk or Bryansk.
Because after the yellow-skinned monkey captured Vladimir, the next step must be to attack Moscow, which is just around the corner.
As for His Majesty the Great Tsar...
If you are willing to go to other places, we don't mind continuing to escort you.
To take a step back, even if there are enough defenders in Moscow, the yellow-skinned monkeys can demolish the city walls of Moscow with their powerful firepower advantage.
Vladimir is a good example. He even led his troops to the city, but in the end there was no one left.
I don’t know how many people will be left out of the previously claimed half a million troops after this battle.
Judging from the current situation, without an army of 700,000 to 800,000 people, it may be impossible to repel the hateful yellow-skinned monkeys.
An army of 400,000 had already proved a failure. If the force were doubled, it might be possible to succeed.
But where can we find so many people?
Even if we could recruit enough serfs, it would still be too late!
In less than a month, before summer begins, the yellow-skinned monkeys will arrive in Moscow.
These are all things that the nobles are thinking about while running away.
It was Tsar Alexei I who really made the decision. What he thought, the nobles did not know.
As long as you don't get involved when you die, everyone is protecting you, but you are not going to die together.
It is no longer possible to follow His Majesty the Tsar to establish immortal merits, and all the followers he recruited have been lost.
The only psychological consolation is to be better than those who have died under the gunfire of the yellow-skinned monkeys. Living is victory!
The cavalry troops led by Zhang Huangyan pursued them from Vladimir to the city walls of Moscow, covering a distance of nearly a hundred miles.
After the war was counted, including casualties and deaths from illness, more than 150,000 Rakshasa soldiers were killed, more than 60,000 were captured, and less than 20,000 escaped.
Only a fraction of the 410,000 troops brought by Alexei I finally returned to Moscow.
The rest are buried along the route from Vladimir to Moscow, and can be used as road signs, perfect!
After the war, Wanli gave the accompanying Menggu chiefs an important task, which was to escort the more than 60,000 captives back.
If one person dies along the way, it means losing ten silver coins. Wanli will let them see how it is done.
The mining area is not too far away, which is the Muluntao gold mine located in Yuzi.
It was originally going to be transported to the Sukhoi Gold Mine in Tangnu Ulianghai, but due to the long distance, many miners would die on the way.
Based on the principle of arranging employment nearby, Wanli sent people to send the prisoners to the Muluntao gold mine.
Mining can give you a new lease of life after ten years of mining. Isn’t this a very cost-effective thing?
If someone is unwilling to go, Wanli can send someone to help him or her reincarnate on the spot!
He had helped more than 300,000 Rakshasa soldiers reincarnate before, and Wanli was no less capable than the ones who came after him.
Bullshit heroic and fearless Rakshasa soldiers, that’s all nonsense!
The brave and fearless were all taken to Lingchi and executed...
After watching the exquisite knife skills performed by the executioners of the Ming Dynasty, all the prisoners became extremely honest!
Can we still hold Moscow? ? ?
This was the biggest confusion in the heart of Alexei I who ran back to the capital.
He would never have thought this way before losing 400,000 troops.
But I have to think about it now, otherwise I have to arrange my own funeral arrangements in advance...
Only a part of the nobles followed him back to Moscow. Most of the nobles either got lost or returned directly to their own territories.
Alexey I has already sent people to contact these ministers, and said that as long as the other party leads troops to aid Moscow, his territory will not need to pay taxes at all in the future.
This means that the Tsarist Empire will become the second Holy Roman Empire, but Alexei I can no longer care about so much.
If Moscow is captured by yellow-skinned monkeys, or even the great Tsarist Russia is destroyed, which nobleman will care whether he can pay taxes in the future?
Paying taxes to themselves or paying taxes to yellow-skinned monkeys doesn't really make much difference to them.
As long as the yellow-skinned monkeys don't kill them all, Alexei I can imagine the faces of those people...
Alexey I did not want the Russian Empire to turn into the Principality of Muscovy, let alone lose Moscow.
But without enough troops to defend Moscow, he could only act in a hurry.
After covering up and killing the opponent's remaining defeated generals, Zhang Huangyan's cavalry troops surrounded Moscow.
Three days later, Wanli led the army to the city.
On April 1, the Ming Dynasty's army began to bombard Moscow.
In addition to artillery and a small number of airships for aerial reconnaissance, tank troops, cavalry, and infantry can all get sufficient rest time before siege.
If the other party really dares to come out to fight, then Wanli can give him a warm welcome.
In view of the fact that he had suffered two defeats before, Zhang Huangyan thought that the opponent had lost all intention of dying.
As the capital of Rakshasa, Moscow's city defense is naturally far better than that of Vladimir, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan and other places.
But in the face of the Ming army's heavy artillery that can fire tungsten-tipped bullets, the opponent's city defense advantage has disappeared.
Tungsten-headed bullets can even demolish the walls of the Geranje Castle built by the Dutch in Dongfan. It was a bastion.
Moscow's city defense strength is not as strong as that of the bastion, which is equivalent to an ordinary city in the Ming Dynasty.
It was impossible to hold on for a long time, because within a week, the Ming army's artillery had blasted the city wall on the east side of Moscow to pieces.
Except for the fact that no large-scale collapse occurred, almost everything that needed to be demolished has been demolished.
There is no artillery at the top of the city. Even if it is deployed by the defenders, it will be destroyed immediately after being discovered.
Since this is the largest city in the entire Rakshasa Kingdom, it also means the most valuable.
If the other party is willing to surrender, Wanli will give it to the respected master for disposal.
Otherwise, if you dare to die together, then don’t blame yourself for being rude...
By this year, Yang Zhan has been on the Western expedition for nine years, and Wan Li, Zhang Huangyan, and Zeng Ying have also been on the expedition for more than five years.
It costs money, people, time, and effort. If there is no benefit from conquering the Rakshasa capital, it is not worth it.
The soldiers of the Western Expedition are still aiming to conquer the territory of the Rakshasa capital!
It's not impossible for the other party to escape, but they must use all their money as money to buy their way!
Originally, the Western Expedition did not capture any wealthy places, so Wanli could not let his men go home empty-handed after capturing the Rakshasa capital.
In general, the Western Expedition cannot compare to the expedition to America, and Wanli can only envy him.
It is nothing more than letting all the soldiers in the army eat some local specialties along the way within the scope of their ability.
On April 10, Mandai ordered the dispatch of airships to carry out tactical bombing of Moscow.
You can blow up whatever you can. If you can't blow up the target, you can also intimidate the opponent.
Because the airship dropped many incendiary bombs, the wooden houses in the city began to catch fire after being hit.
Coupled with the drought and lack of rain in the spring, the bombing effect was much better than expected.
In the early morning of the next day, Alexei I, who realized that the yellow-skinned monkeys were about to capture the capital, had given up his plan to hold on.
These remaining tens of thousands of cavalry protected their families and ministers from breaking through the encirclement overnight.
The people in the city can follow if they want to go, and they can make their own choices if they don't want to.
Anyway, at this point, Alexey I couldn't care about them anymore.
First go to Smolensk, where Governor Schein is located, and after arriving there, organize your forces for a counterattack.
As soon as it dawned, a huge white flag was erected on the top of the dilapidated city, for fear that people outside would not see it!
Considering the matter of scraping the land, Wanli agreed to the other party's surrender request.
The Master of the Ming Dynasty finally got his wish and completed the small goal set by Emperor Haojing...
The joy of the king's soldiers when they rushed into the Rakshasa capital was quickly diluted by the sight before them.
Due to technological and economic development, the city was originally lagging behind many cities in the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, the previous airship bombing also caused a fire, so many houses on both sides of the street were burned to pieces.
The situation in the inner city was better, but unfortunately all the money inside was taken away by Alexei I.
There are only empty buildings left, along with reliefs and murals, but what's the point? You can’t sell it for money!
Wan Li really wanted to imitate Xiang Yu who burned down Xianyang, and burn down Moscow, which was so poor.
After calming down, he gave up this idea, because the master sent the king's army to the west not just to capture Moscow.
In order to completely digest this land in the future, the local governor or governor must live in the inner city of Moscow.
If they knew that he had burned down the inner city now, successive governors would have to scold him behind his back...
Not only cannot it be burned, but it must also be protected. Maybe the respected master will first appoint himself as governor of the western region of Rakshasa.
It would be a big joke if he burned down his own residence.
As for those Rakshasa people who surrendered, they could avoid the death penalty but not the living penalty.
Every girl of suitable age must go to reward the army!
Anyone who dares to hide will be whipped ten times!
Many of his subordinates had not touched a woman for two or three years, and now that they had captured the Rakshasa capital, they were all a great victory, and they could finally have their teeth sacrificed.
The Ming Dynasty's Shen-character flags were already fluttering in the wind on the spiers of all the tall buildings in the city.
All the soldiers of the King's Division who participated in the Western Expedition took group photos with this background in batches.
Various yamen, arsenals, granaries, and warehouses in the city have been protected by the king's division, and those very beautiful and beautiful horses have also been treated in this way...
Regarding the next stage of the battle, Wanli still needs to discuss with his two junior brothers.
However, according to the latest information obtained, the Donglu seem to be very capable in the territory between the Dnieper River and the Don River in the south.
Before his master sent someone to send him the latest mission, Wanli had no intention of going south to eliminate this old enemy.
Because some of the gains outweigh the losses, not to mention it consumes too much food, and may also be counterattacked by the Rakshasa people.
The main task of the unit at the moment is to secure the supply line from here to Nizhny Novgorod while holding on to Moscow.
As long as there is no problem with the supply line, the royal army in Moscow will have no worries about food and clothing, and they will not let the Rakshasa people retake the city.
What Menggu's army had done back then, the Ming Dynasty King's Master could do the same now, and even do it better.
Because after the Mongolian army went westward, the Grand Duke of Moscow was just one of the many local agents.
Honoring the master means that from now on, the area east of Moscow and the many vassal states in the Far East will become areas directly under the imperial court.
This means that there can be no indigenous agents. They must either be assimilated or become slaves. There is no third way.
If you are willing to die directly, it can be accomplished!
There were some Rakshasa men in the city who were very dissatisfied with Wanli's order to reward the army with ocean horses, but they were quickly executed.
The Ming Dynasty Master adopted a zero-tolerance attitude towards any resistance.
Letting these Rakshasa people live is the utmost kindness to them.
When the immigrants from the Ming Dynasty arrived in Moscow, not many of the original indigenous people could continue to live in Moscow, except for Yangma.
If you want to survive in the future, you must live according to the way you respect your master, otherwise you have to die.
Those who are willing to die can get what they want now and save food for others.
Without digging holes, leading the way, or cultivating the land, these city dwellers have no value to Mandai.
The so-called exquisite handicrafts are almost like garbage compared to similar products from Ming Dynasty.
Except for the ocean horses and the vast forests and animals inside, there seems to be nothing here like before.
The first task of the King's soldiers now is to bulge the bellies of more Yangma, so that they can recruit mixed-race soldiers in the future...
Ocean horses are nice to take pictures with, but actually touching them is another matter.
This disappointed the Marine soldiers who had previously envied and envied the expedition to America and tasted the taste of ocean horses.
But in Moscow, there are only herds of ocean horses, and it is useless for everyone to dislike them.
No matter what, I finally got a little compensation after the war.
Those who have died in battles before but have not tasted the benefits are considered unlucky.
The local natives were frightened to death when they saw flying demons, or airships, above their heads.
I still have lingering fears about being beaten by an egg before, and I never want to experience it again in my lifetime.
Wanli has sent people to put up banners written in Rakshasa language in the city, asking the natives to behave themselves, otherwise they will be subject to military law.
After the news spread to Sweden, Poland, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire, the heads of state of various countries were shocked by the achievements of the Ming army.
Is Russia so easy to defeat?
But the Ming army just did it!
Not only did they wipe out more than 400,000 enemies, but they also captured Moscow!
This shows that the Ming army is not only powerful in naval warfare, but also not inferior in land warfare.
After King Carl XI of Sweden heard the news, he immediately ordered to assemble his troops and start marching eastward, nominally to cooperate with the Ming army in fighting!
