Chapter 246 Conquerors from the East(1/2)
Latest website:
"Dear brother, people from the Principality of Nizhny Novgorod have contacted us many times and want us to marry them together. Should we agree?" Angelica, the Queen Mother of the Principality of Moscow, asked her brother.
The Principality of Moscow and the Principality of Nizhny Novgorod, as the two most powerful countries among the Slavs, are full of competition and constant necessary exchanges with each other.
Now everyone has seen the weakness of the Golden Horde, so it is in the interest of all Slavs to unite against the Golden Horde.
Grand Duke Dmitry Vasilyevich of the Nizhny Novgorod Principality sent people to the Moscow Principality many times to request marriage, so as to establish an alliance full of trust between the two parties.
The Grand Duke of Moscow is too young, so of course it is impossible for him to get married.
The object of Vasilyevich's proposal was Angelika, known as the beauty of Moscow.
"Of course we cannot agree to the request of the Shalovgorod Principality! They are all a bunch of wild wolves who always want to annex our Moscow Principality. If you marry Dmitry Vasilyevich, then he will also get
The inheritance rights of the Principality of Moscow are too dangerous for Dmitry Ivanovich!"
The Grand Duke of Moscow and the Grand Duke of Nizhny Novgorod, both of whom were named Dmitry.
It's just that one of their patronymic names is Vasilyevich and the other is Ivanovich.
The current Nizhny Novgorod Principality is stronger than the Moscow Principality. If the two families get married, Angelica marrying Dmitri Vasilyevich will not be conducive to the development of the Moscow Principality.
After Angelica and Yin Fan came up with an idea, they decided to let the Principality of Moscow, along with many Slavic countries, continue to put pressure on the Golden Horde until the Golden Horde agreed to their requests for lower tax burdens and supplies.
The Slavs' resistance methods were limited to this, and they did not dare to really raise troops to fight against South Korea who entered Tibet.
The news that the Golden Horde suffered a serious defeat not only spread widely in the territory of the Slavs, but also quickly spread to Poland, Lithuania, Bulgaria and other places.
These countries all covet the vast, fertile, yet wild and backward Slavic plains.
But they did not dare to provoke the powerful Golden Horde before.
Now, I heard that the tiger of the Golden Horde had been seriously weakened, and it started to make moves again.
At least an army of more than 200,000 people began to gradually gather. Once news of the Golden Horde's continued failure and decline came, they would not hesitate to launch an attack on these Slavic countries to seize territory and population.
After three full days of consideration and deliberation, Wang Baobao and his generals and officials finally decided that the final strategy was to launch an all-out attack like the Golden Horde in the West.
Not only must we defeat the Golden Horde, we must also destroy them and completely replace them.
Wang Baobao and his generals had made up their mind to convert all of them to Orthodox Christianity as soon as they captured the city of Bergosa.
And in order to gain a noble and lofty status for myself.
Wang Baobao also found an excellent allusion from the Orthodox Bible based on his diligent study these days, which can be applied to Mongolians like himself.
It is recorded in the Orthodox Bible that when Jesus, the spokesman of God, was just born, three sages from the East gave Jesus gifts and blessings, and bestowed Jesus with innate wisdom. After doing this, these three wise men
An Eastern sage once again took off his clothes and went to hide his merit and fame.
Therefore, the origin of Wang Baobao's identity was related to these three Eastern sages.
One of the sages is the ancestor of the Great Mongols and the incarnation of Changshengtian.
The other sage is Lao Tzu from the land of China. The other one is Confucius, the representative of Confucianism.
As for the fact that Laozi, Confucius and Jesus were born four to five hundred years apart, there is no need to pay attention to it.
The Bible is filled with such loopholes from beginning to end, yet not all people believe it.
Therefore, as a descendant of the Three Eastern Sages, it is most appropriate for Wang Baobao to convert to Orthodox Christianity.
Wang Baobao's deception directly proves the close and long-standing connection between Mongolia and Christianity.
Since Naurus of the Golden Horde has launched a holy war to the east.
Well, now Wang Baobao has also followed suit and launched a holy war against the Golden Horde in the West as an Orthodox Christian.
Wang Baobao, the Grand Master of the Yuan Dynasty and a pioneer of Christianity, was the first to convert to Orthodox Christianity and received baptism.
And a brand new flag was formulated, because it was the symbol of the Yuan Dynasty.
Dayuan belongs to the gold family, so this flag is dominated by golden color.
A cross with a black border and a white background is embroidered on it, symbolizing the gray wolf and white deer in Mongolian legend.
The white cross on gold became the symbol of Mongolia after it converted to Orthodox Christianity.
However, large-scale conversion to Orthodox Christianity requires the presence of the archbishop to conduct some ceremonies and certifications.
So now only Wang Baobao has made a personal conversion under Andre's witness.
After the Golden Horde captured Bergosa, all the people could be converted.
but.
They can put out this flag with a gold background and a black border and a white cross first.
"Holy War! Golden Crusade to the West!"
Now the Yuan Dynasty launched a holy war against the Golden Horde!
This is the war cry!
The mighty Yuan Dynasty army swept from the Hezhong area to the Kipchak grassland in the north.
The various tribes along the way did not dare to block this powerful army. Occasionally, some loyal troops of the Golden Horde tried to resist, but they were all turned into corpses by the artillery and charges of the Mongolian and Yuan troops.
In less than two months, the Mongol army of the Yuan Dynasty crossed from the Hezhong area across the eastern part of the Kipchak Grassland and arrived at the banks of the Volga River.
………
"Master, right ahead is Salai City."
Andrei Vasilyevich, wearing a Mongolian robe, pointed ahead and explained the terrain ahead to Wang Baobao.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Baobao looked up and saw a looming city in the distance, appearing on the other side of the Volga River.
Now they are still too far away, and they can only see a rough outline, but they cannot see the style of the capital of the Golden Horde at a glance.
However, Wang Baobao believed that it would not take long for Bergosa to completely surrender to his feet.
All he needs to do now is to cross the Volga River and defeat the last army of the Golden Horde on the other side of the river.
In fact, the Golden Horde no longer had much strength to struggle.
Instead, because Wang Baobao converted to Orthodox Christianity, this news spread to the Golden Horde, causing panic among many Tianfang believers.
Wang Baobao had massacred Tianfang believers in the Hezhong area, which aroused the disgust and hatred of many Muslims.
Originally, there were still many people who hoped that the conqueror of the East would choose to believe in the teachings of Allah at a critical moment.
But now Wang Baobao has converted to Orthodox Christianity and has become a full-fledged pagan, completely killing the last vestiges of illusion among the Muslims of the Golden Horde.
In this case, the Golden Horde immediately took advantage of this panic, mobilized a large number of Tianfang believers, rejoined their own army, and gathered outside the city of Bergosa. There were almost 100,000 troops, all of whom were composed of pious believers.
It is composed of Tianfang believers.
Many are jihadists from Anatolia, Georgia, and the southern Caucasus Mountains.
Everyone wants to wait and see on the west bank of the Volga River to defeat these Eastern Mongols holding high the cross.
The wishful thinking of Naurus, the Khan of the Golden Horde, was to attack halfway across the border.
Let the vanguard of Wang Baobao's Mongolian Yuan army cross the Volga River first. When half the number of troops have crossed, the entire army will immediately attack and defeat the vanguard on the west bank of the Volga River. The remaining Mongolian Yuan army will inevitably be completely defeated.
A victory that saves the fate of the Golden Horde can be firmly held in his hands.
But Wang Bao is a veteran on the battlefield.
In particular, he has a lot of experience fighting against the Red Scarf Army and the Ming Army, and it is impossible not to see the machinations of Navurus.
However, Wang Baobao also decided to take advantage of the situation.
Since the enemy planned to attack halfway across the river, he took the initiative to slip into this trap and sent his most elite Janissary infantry and artillery across the river first, using a small number of troops to build a solid defense line on the west bank of the Volga River to give the Golden Horde
The army comes to a center to bloom.
However, this decision carries great risks.
According to the estimates of Wang Baobao and his generals, when they cross 20,000 to 30,000 people, the Golden Horde army will immediately launch an attack.
In such a short time, not only did they have to cross the river by 20,000 to 30,000 people, but they also had to establish a strong defensive position on the other side of the Volga River.
In any case, it is a very arduous task. However, now the arrow is on the string and must be fired!
Wang Baobao and his Meng Yuan generals had no choice.
Everyone was very energetic. At this moment, Wang Baobao suddenly had an idea and remembered a formation put up by Liu Yu, the famous Emperor Wu of Song Dynasty in history.
That is the Queyue Formation.
Wang Baobao immediately ordered that all the carts, spears, muskets, and artillery in the army be concentrated on the forward troops crossing the river.
Two days later.
On a sunny morning.
With the Volga River as the boundary, the two sides put up a posture ready for war at any time.
Wang Baobao personally led the Mongolian and Yuan army forward and began to cross the river at a ford.
They collected and made many rafts and wooden boats, and then used these rafts and wooden boats to build a simple pontoon bridge on the river to pass the light infantry.
