Tsar Andrei was extremely distressed. The 60,000 Guardsmen were the elite of the empire. They had never failed or suffered such a heavy blow.
Thousands of people died, but Zhang Yi's army had no casualties. An indescribable sense of hatred and shame wrapped around the Tsar's heart like a poisonous snake.
It's just a slap in the face.
The Tsar realized painfully that Zhang Yi's tactics were flexible and clever.
In Eurasia, whoever can organize the soldiers together with discipline will have the highest achievement and be invincible. In China, the generals can order the soldiers to organize various formations with a single order.
This is the scary bit.
Also, there is a new weapon, the Molotov cocktail.
It was just a glass bottle. The Tsar's palace was filled with all kinds of exquisite wine bottles, originating from the inventory of the previous era.
Unfortunately, the Tsar did not expect that it could be turned into a terrifying melee weapon by adding fuel such as alcohol.
It's very simple to say.
In fact, the Tsar knew very well that Zhang Yi's men did not dare to rush into the square formation, otherwise he would suffer huge casualties.
Speaking of which, the power of the phalanx is still invincible, but it was defeated by the Molotov cocktail.
"Bastard, idiot, shameful coward!" Tsar Andrei yelled angrily, "You shouldn't use firearms, you only dare to hide and attack from a distance, you coward!"
While the Tsar was cursing hysterically, Marshal Levet climbed onto the control tower panting.
Standing on a high ground, Marshal Levget saw that the battlefield was in a mess. The cavalry on both wings were beaten back step by step, exposing the two wings of the phalanx.
But the Guards formation stood stupidly in place, not daring to charge and unable to retreat. Once they loosened their position, the entire army would be annihilated.
Marshal Levget couldn't help but sigh.
"Marshal Levet, why are you sighing?" Tsar Andrei said dissatisfied, "What should we do? Should we just return to Moscow like this? No, I am not willing to do so! Or... we can return to Moscow and call in more troops.
A lot of people and horses..."
His words were inconsistent, and Tsar Andrei was on the verge of collapse. He grabbed the golden staff in one hand and shook the fence vigorously with the other. The wooden tower began to shake, like a boat capsizing at any time in the waves.
"Please stay calm, Your Majesty," Marshal Levet advised. He pointed at the female general playing the drum a few hundred meters away and shouted, "Your Majesty, that woman is Zhang Yi's wife, Liu Kai's daughter, and a member of the Kingdom of China.
Princess, she actually ran to the battlefield..."
Tsar Andrei's eyes widened in surprise. He had already seen the female general beating the drum, but his focus was on the main battle and he didn't think much about it. At this time, Marshal Levget brought him inspiration. Victory
hope.
"You mean, Zhang Yi will admit defeat if he catches the princess?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, if you catch the princess, Zhang Yi will kneel down and beg you, unless he doesn't care about the princess!"
"It's impossible that he doesn't care about the princess. If he loses the princess, Zhang Yi will lose the possibility of becoming king. He will kneel down and beg me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"This is an opportunity, Marshal Levget," Tsar Andrei danced with joy, then stopped and stared at the marshal like a wooden man, "But, you led tens of thousands of troops to attack Chang'an, why did you retreat?
I clearly see that the other side doesn’t have many troops!”
"They don't have many men and horses, Your Majesty, but they have iron chariots!"
Marshal Levget pointed at the chariot. At this moment, the chariot regiment was almost approaching the Guards formation.
"Asshole, what is an iron chariot?" Tsar Andrei said angrily, "Marshal Levet, the princess is our last hope. I order you to lead all the people in the camp to capture the princess.
, capture her alive and bring her to me. Otherwise, you will die on the battlefield!"
"Oh, Your Majesty," Marshal Levget wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Seeing Tsar Andrei's ferocious expression, he knew that it was useless to say anything, so he had no choice but to nod, "I will do it, I will
Go around to the back of the chariot and catch the princess!"
"Stop talking and go quickly!" Tsar Andrei lost his patience and urged.
The dialogue between the tsar and his ministers has always been cumbersome. They would use language skills to express their emotions expressively. This has been greatly simplified on the battlefield.
Marshal Levget climbed down the wooden tower panting. He was almost sixty years old, and now he was going to carry out a dangerous mission. He regretted the plan to attack the princess, and perhaps followed His Majesty's will to withdraw it.
Moscow is correct.
The old marshal saw that the camp was full of sick and wounded people. Some had lost arms or legs, some had arrows stuck in their heads, and some were pretending to be crazy and lying on the ground to drink from their skins.
of wine, wanting to drink myself to death with strong liquor.
However, there were still many cavalrymen who had fled, standing there in despair, about ten thousand of them.
"Soldiers, cheer up, God has given us a chance to win," Marshal Levet shouted, "mount your horse and follow me to capture the princess. If you capture the princess, we can force Zhang Yi to retreat and sue for peace.
There will also be wine served!”
The cavalrymen screamed when they heard this. This is a good idea. If someone captures Princess Ekarina, the beloved daughter of Tsar Andrei, His Majesty the Tsar will definitely beg for mercy. In the same way, if someone captures the princess of the Kingdom of China, they
Will admit defeat!
So these more than 10,000 cavalrymen rushed out of the base camp with Marshal Levget, bypassed the chariot troops, and attacked Princess Xiaoliu who was beating the drum.
…
Zhang Yi commanded the battle calmly, but he was always worried about the safety of Xiaoliu and others.
Xiao Liu, Master Song, the two marshals, and others are all extremely important. Once these people are in danger, even if they win the battle, it will be a failure for Zhang Yi.
So he doesn't want Xiaoliu and others to go to the battlefield, but if Xiaoliu and others insist on coming, what can he do? It's either his lover or his elders.
To be honest, Xiaoliu and others' personal visit to the battlefield has a huge motivating effect on our army. This is a good thing, but a bad thing is that they are afraid of becoming the focus of the enemy's attack.
Therefore, Zhang Yi sent Niu Ben to guard it in advance.
Niu Ben was a little regretful that he couldn't go into battle and make meritorious deeds like other brothers, but he knew that his sworn brother had given him the most important task.
He dutifully stayed by Princess Xiaoliu's side and closely observed the enemy's movements.
In the camp, a group of tsarist cavalry suddenly rushed out and rushed toward Princess Xiaoliu like crazy.
"Master Song, you two handsome men, protect the princess!"
Niu Ben shouted and led ten thousand wolf cavalry to fight.
Unexpectedly, Marshal Levget is a cunning man. He had seen the wolf cavalry guarding the front, and let most of the people charge to fight. He led several generals to bypass the wolf cavalry and attack Princess Xiaoliu!
