*** In the mid-14th century, the Muscovy Principality, which became independent from the Golden Horde of the Mongol Empire, became increasingly powerful and annexed surrounding small countries. ¡é¡êIn 1546, Grand Duke Ivan IV of Muscovy was crowned Tsar, and the Russian Empire was born. Counting from Ivan IV, he is now the 7th tsar. The current tsar Alexey Mikhailovich ascended the throne at the age of 17. He is only 21 years old now, which is very young. Under the governance of the previous generation of tsarists, although Tsarist Russia has emerged from the "era of chaos" for thirty years, overall it is still full of hidden dangers. There is a strong enemy in the north, Sweden, which occupies a large area of ??land north of the line from Pskov to Novgorod and along the Baltic Sea coast, and firmly controls the trade routes to Europe; to the west are the feuding Polish Empire and the Kingdom of Lithuania , occupying a series of important towns headed by Smolensk, threatening Moscow at all times; the southwest is Ukraine, which belongs to Poland, and the Cossack cavalry coming to the Ukrainian prairie is also a serious threat to Moscow, making Tsarist Russia sleepless. To the south, in the direction of the Caucasus, was tremendous pressure from the Ottoman Empire. Only the Don Cossacks in the southern steppes, although still independent from Tsarist Russia, have taken orders from Moscow. Now, the powerful Qin army is sweeping across Eastern and Siberia, approaching step by step. For Tsarist Russia, this has become the biggest threat. Ivanov, who rushed down the Volga River with nine thousand cavalry, regarded this military operation as a battle that changed the fate of Russia. Therefore, he dispatched 9,000 troops in one fell swoop, leaving only 1,000 men to guard the Tsaritsyn Fortress. It can be said that he was determined to win. The Kazakhs have been crippled. If this battle is successful, not only can they recapture Eastern and Siberia, but they can also seize the Kipchak Steppe. It was even possible to seize the Caucasus before the Ottoman Empire could react. ¡°This is equivalent to having a vast rear area for the Russian Empire that is beleaguered on all sides. No longer needing to worry about threats from the east and south, they can concentrate their forces to confront the feudal enemies of the Polish Empire and the Kingdom of Lithuania on the Eastern European steppes. If this battle is won, there is no doubt that Russia will soar into the sky! "Perhaps, the hunter cannot see the mountain." Ivanov only thinks about the glorious results he will achieve after victory. He forgot that in the event of failure, the southern gateway of the Russian Empire would be open to the Qin army, and the Don River plain north of the Tsaritsyn Fortress would be flat. I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the Qin army from approaching Moscow. There are stretches of forest on the right bank of the lower reaches of the Volga River; there are grasslands and semi-desert areas on the lower left bank. In order to conceal their whereabouts, Ivanov's nine thousand cavalry first went south along the right bank, using the forest as a cover, spending half a day and night, rushing Run two hundred miles. Arrived downstream, still 50 miles away from the Qin army's fortifications, Ivanov left 4,000 men and horses with deputy general Sergeykov, preparing to raid the Qin army's fortifications built on the right bank. He himself led 5,000 troops across the river. Prepare to attack the grain transport team from Atyrau and the temporary fortifications on the left bank. The Slavs have a tenacious character. Although they are tired from galloping all the way, they think of the tempting fruits of victory. Everyone gritted their teeth and endured it, without complaining of pain or tiredness, and quickly crossed the left bank. Ivanov kept encouraging his soldiers: "Everyone, work harder. The Qin people's grain transport team is in front. As long as we kill them, we will be able to catch them off guard. If we snatch this batch of grain and grass, tens of thousands of Qin troops will definitely be killed." They will collapse without a fight, hurry up!" Less than fifty miles southeast from the Ivanov crossing point, a grain transport team of 5,000 people was marching slowly in the desert. This team except for two In addition to more than a hundred carts, there were five to six thousand cattle. This is because there is very little food on the grassland, and cattle and sheep are mainly eaten. The Qin army probably thought the sheep were too slow, so all they came this time were cattle. It was mid-afternoon, and the scorching sun on the desert was making people sweat. The escort team composed of five thousand Mongolian cavalry seemed a little anxious in the scorching heat. They were cursing while driving the cattle. Suddenly, it was like a sandstorm blew up in the northwest and northeast directions. Ivanov divided 5,000 men and horses into two groups and made a sudden attack on the Qin Army's transport team. "Ula!" "Ula!" "Ula!" The rumbling horseshoes rolled up the smoke and dust, and the Slavs found that the shouts were like roaring waves of the sea, coming towards them! When the transport team saw enemies coming from both sides, they were frightened and fled south, screaming; the carts transporting grain were left in a mess on the desert. The five or six thousand cows were restless and began to run away after no one drove them away. When the Slavs saw that the Qin army was so frightened that they abandoned their grain, grass and cattle and fled south, they couldn't help but exclaim.He looked over, brandishing his sword and gun, yelling, and rushed over excitedly. More than two hundred carts were scattered widely in the desert, causing no obstacle to the Slavs. The five thousand cavalry galloped and chased the Qin army fleeing south. At this time, suddenly the sky thunder became angry, boom! boom! Boom But I saw those large trucks transporting grain explode violently, with clouds of fire exploding, and the booming sounds continued one after another, shaking the earth. Half of the 5,000 Russian troops had already passed through those carts, and the people and horses that followed were blown up and turned upside down. The flying shrapnel and fierce shock waves tore apart the horses and threw them into the air. Not to mention the Slavs on horseback, some were blown into pieces before they could even utter a scream. Hundreds of explosion points erupted into thick smoke and dust, and the thunder-like explosions shocked the Slavs completely. Those who had already rushed through the car formation looked back, and were shocked by the miserable scene like hell on earth. He was so shocked that he forgot to close his mouth, and his mind went blank. While they were still in extreme shock, the 5,000 Mongolian cavalry who had fled south had already rushed back like a gust of wind. A hail of arrows rose into the sky, shooting at the Slavs in a black mass, with a pop of flesh. The panicked Slavs fell off their horses one after another like dumplings. Ivanov¡¯s horse was shot down, and he was pinned under the horse. The roaring Mongolian cavalry rushed over. Before he could struggle, his chest was trampled by the iron, and his blood and flesh exploded! The situation suddenly reversed, and it was the Qin army's turn to desperately pursue the defeated Slavs. Smoke and dust billowed on the desert, the sound of hoofbeats was like thunder, and there were bursts of screams. The Slavs drove more than two hundred miles in one night and half a day, and their horses were already tired. In this scorching desert, they couldn't escape very far, so the speed of their horses obviously slowed down, and some even uttered nonsense. Mo fell to the ground. The Qin army was waiting for work. This pursuit was as fast as flying and extremely satisfying. Such a desert has become a terrible nightmare for the Slavs. They can't run and there is nowhere to hide. If they can't escape ten miles, their entire army is almost wiped out. Sergeykov on the right bank of the Volga River led a 4,000-man raid on the Qin army¡¯s fortifications. He thought that the Kazakhs, as prisoners, must have no intention of fighting. The fortifications built by the Kazakhs were quickly breached under their fierce attack, and the wolf-like Slavs surged in. However, what they didn't know was that Li Ding had left five hundred Qin troops in advance, dressed in Kazakh costumes. As soon as the Slavs rushed into the gap, they were shot by the Qin Army's Type 68 rifle in three rounds. The densely packed Slavs crowded At the gap, under the impact of the whistling bullets, he fell like a wave of wheat, blood rising to the sky, and screams of agony. The morale of the Kazakhs was indeed low. After the fortifications were breached, they even felt anxious and wanted to flee. But when they saw the Slavs falling like waves of wheat in the gap, their morale suddenly became strong. They came out one after another and fought fiercely with the Slavs. There is a key point that perhaps Sergeikov and the others have overlooked, that is, it is nearly 300 miles away from the Tsaritsyn Fortress and less than 150 miles away from the city of Kota where Li Ding is attacking. In other words, if the whereabouts of the Slavs can be grasped, the Qin army in Kota City should also have arrived when they arrived here. The Kazakhs rushed out and fought fiercely with the Slavs. Within less than a stick of incense, a Qin army with 2,000 troops appeared like a ghost on the left rear of the Slavs, frightening the Slavs. Just at this time, another broken army escaped, and news of the defeat on the right bank came. When these two shocking pieces of news were superimposed, thousands of Slavs were still eager to fight; Sergeykov gave the order to retreat, and two thousand ghosts The massive Qin army immediately came over from the left rear, and the Slavs were attacked from both sides and immediately became a rout. Their fate was similar to that of the Slavs on the left bank. The horses were too tired and could not outrun the pursuers. Fortunately, there were more woods on the right bank. Some people rushed into the woods to hide, but this was only a small part. 4,000 More than 3,000 people were killed in this large army of people. It can be said that corpses littered the fields, it was too horrible to see. At this time, 30,000 cavalry, led by Li Ding personally, had taken a shortcut and rushed towards the Tsaritsyn Fortress. The 10,000-strong army on the lower reaches of the Volga River hurriedly swept the battlefield, and then flew towards the Tsaritsyn Fortress with 7,000 or 8,000 heads ********** ********** ps: Bow and thank you for Bihai Love Song, Illiteracy Beast, Potato Pooh, Raindrops Knocking on Your Window, abc19791205, Book Friends 140313014917653, Book Friends 150107003425960, btsunday, long124520, Half Pot Trail, Mi Kegong , Thousands of Miles in the Forest, Divine Light of Autumn, Lu Sheng, 99877, Book Friends 141004154139243, Looking Back at the Sun, Mur, Coming and Going Like the Wind, Neither Left nor Right, Choose the Middle Road, Hangzhou Sniper, Ba Bajie, Ant Moves?It's going to rain, Misty Stars, Thousands of Bamboos, Deng Junjun, Farewell to the Breeze, Night Walkers, Friend airv, Wing 1470, Little Tigers in the Devil's World, Plum Blossoms Everywhere, Eternal Commentary on the Wilderness, Little Yue Buds are sprouting , people are iron, food is steel, book friends 110301180035281 voted for your precious monthly votes or gave rewards, I bow and thank you all.
