Chapter 272: Crossing the Ural Mountains(1/2)

The war broke out suddenly in June of the fifth year of Chongzhen, which was obviously a planned attack.

The Northwest Army of the Ming Empire occupied the entire Braha Khanate in two days, completing control of the royal family and mastering the basic regime.

At the same time, the Sichuan-Shu army and the Northwest Army coalition quickly occupied the Kingdom of Bhutan and the Nepal region.

The army of the Ming Empire directly threatened the Mughal Empire, causing this great empire to fall into panic.

As the Ming Empire's influence increased throughout the world, even though the Mughal Empire had not had formal contact with the Ming Empire, he had heard about some things about this great empire.

With the power of one country, all the countries invading Southeast Asia, expelled all the European countries that invaded Southeast Asia and annexed the entire Southeast Asian region, including the Indochina Peninsula.

In North Asia, expelled the Tsarist Kingdom and occupied a large area of ​​territory.

Cross the Pacific Ocean eastward, occupy the Central American colonies of the Spanish Empire, and establish a special administrative region.

Needless to say, the west side has successively annexed the Junggar Khanate and the Yarkand Khanate, and the borders are directly bordered by the Mughal Empire.

Although it is only a small part of the border, it is enough to show that it is threatening.

Now, the Ming Empire has directly bypassed the Himalayas and occupied the land of the Kingdom of Nepal and Bhutan, and part of the land of the Mughal Empire has also been occupied.

However, although they knew that some land had been lost, they did not dare to go to war with the Ming Empire directly.

The current Ming Empire has a vast territory, which is beyond their imagination. A country with such a large territory and strong military power. Once a conflict occurs with it, it will bring them a very huge disaster.

While preparing soldiers to defend the northern city, they sent envoys to spy on the news about the army.

At the same time, they also sent envoys to the Ming Empire to prepare for a peaceful and friendly cooperative relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

Get some early rest so that they can feel relieved for the time being.

The Ming Empire said that it did not intend to invade the Mughal Empire, but just wanted to clear out some criminals who harassed the borders of the Ming Empire.

Of course, the Mughal Empire knew that some of them belonged to their country, but at this time, since the Ming Empire did not point it out, they did not take the initiative to take the blame.

On the contrary, they angrily condemned this invasion of the borders of other countries as if they had never done such a thing.

The Mughal Empire was very afraid of the strength of the Ming Empire, but there were always several countries that were so ungrateful. The Ming Empire did not conquer them, but instead took the initiative to provoke them.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, the Tsarist Kingdom sent troops to attack the northern part of the Ottoman Empire under the pressure of the people in order to divert the people's attention.

At the beginning, they did occupy some land and won a victory, and the pressure on public opinion was temporarily alleviated.

However, the Ottoman Empire then obtained more advanced muskets from the Ming Empire and armed an army of tens of thousands of people.

Originally, the Ottoman Empire was determined to send out all armies equipped with new weapons in order to fight against Western countries such as the Kingdom of Spain, so that there was no strong soldiers defending the north.

However, after possessing the firearms of the Ming Empire, they immediately sent an army of the most advanced firearms to the north, directly expelling the army of the Tsarist Kingdom, and also causing a large number of casualties.

Because the Ottoman Empire's combat center is now on the Europa continent, to be precise, in Western Europe, he did not send troops to continue to enter the Tsarist Kingdom northward.

After this defeat in the war, the Tsar Kingdom was greatly damaged, and the little face that the Tsar had finally recovered was gone again.

The voice of the people had shaken the tsar's rule, forcing him to do something that would make him appear competent for the position of the sole emperor of Moscow.

And now the only way to ensure the stability of the Tsar's rule is to regain some of the territory east of the Ural Mountains, which is only a small part of the territory.

As for the territory in the west, the Tsar never considered it. After all, it was already very clear in the previous wars. They had no confidence in defeating the west, and they were unknown to the east.

There may be a glimmer of success in the unknown.

The performance of the Ming Empire in the third and fourth years of Chongzhen did not mean that it wanted to continue to attack the west, and did not have heavy troops to guard the areas east of the Ural Mountains.

This gave them an illusion that if they only occupied a small part of the land, the Ming Empire would not care. After all, the entire Siberian region had such a vast area, and they would not occupy all the places for a while.

So, when the Tsar was so crazy, he sent troops to occupy part of the area east of the Ural Mountains. Although the soldiers from the Ming Empire were not sent to guard those places, the national borders had been drawn and a national border monument was set.

The reconnaissance soldiers of the Tsar Kingdom did not know that although the Ming Empire had not been stationed in this area for a long time, the Huangxia mercenaries would always send people to patrol here, and the cycle was about once a month.

After the wars in the north and northwest ended, the Huangxia mercenaries were idle again, and their only task was to inspect the borders of the Ming Empire.

There is no need to patrol the north and east. The northernmost part of the Ming Empire is the Arctic Ocean, where there is no one, so there is no need to patrol; and the easternmost part is the Pacific Ocean, with the patrol of the Denglai Navy Fleet and the Liaodong Corps, and they are not needed.

The west side is the one that needs to be inspected.

Among them, the focus is on the Kazakh Khanate and the other is the Tsarist State.

The Kazakh Khanate knew the power of the Ming Empire earlier than the Mughal Empire.

Therefore, they have always been trembling with border issues. If the Ming Empire said they would have more land, they would never argue.

Give up and give in.

They can still tell which is more important than the conquered part of the land or the capture of the entire country.

Therefore, in fact, the Kazakh Khanate did not need Huangxia mercenaries to worry about it, after all, there were Qin and Northwest Army there.

So for the Huangxia mercenaries, the only target that needs to be focused on is the Tsarist Kingdom.

After the Ming Empire pushed the borders to the Ural Mountains, the Tsarist Kingdom stationed heavy troops on the Ural Mountains.

They seemed very afraid that the Ming Empire would attack the West.

However, the mercenary commander Ma Dayong did not understand this sudden occupation of part of the land east of the Ural Mountains.

He immediately sent someone to let the news reach the General Staff of the Military Aircraft of the Ming Empire, waiting for the next instructions.

After Xiao Sheng and Zhu Youjian got the news, they directly launched a counterattack, targeted and captured Moscow!

Nowadays, the roads of the Ming Empire have crossed the Khalkha Mongol area and reached near the Ob River.

It turned out that the Ming Empire did not want to launch an attack on the Tsarist Kingdom, mainly because the supply line was too long.

For the Ming Empire, the victory time of a war had no effect on the sooner or later, so in order to minimize casualties, it was necessary to start the war with sufficient logistics support.

Moreover, in the original strategy, the Tsarist Kingdom was also part of Europa, and the Ming Empire should not directly participate in wars to interfere in the national relations in the Europa region.

However, the Tsarist Kingdom took the initiative to invade the territory of the Ming Empire, and the nature of this matter has become a self-defense counterattack war.

Under such circumstances, it was absolutely impossible for the Ming Empire to make concessions to it. It must launch a war to make it realize the wrong nature of its behavior.

Once the war begins, if the Ming Empire launches a war and fails to destroy its country, it actually does not have much significance.

The General Staff of Military Aircraft Order ordered an attack on Moscow, which directly excited the soldiers of the Huangxia mercenary.

For some mercenaries, if they cannot continue to go through tasks, kill a person or destroy an organization, etc.

Then they will not be able to obtain commissions.

Only war will excite them, because only through war can they obtain money.

Especially in today's wars, they basically have advanced weapons, and they are a crushing victory against the armies of other countries and are not too dangerous at all, so they are more willing to do this, after all, it is a free credit.

So, 30,000 Huangxia mercenaries moved when they heard the news, and the army rushed directly to the Ural Mountains.

Their actions did not cover up, and the Tsarist army, which had just occupied the area east of the Ulan Mountains, carefully investigated the surrounding situation.

The movements of Huangxia mercenaries fell on time in their investigation, and they panicked.

The number of troops of the Tsarist Kingdom coming to the east of the Ural Mountains was only 2,000.

The entire Tsarist state had not many troops. Their main purpose was to guard against the countries in the west, especially the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Now we have to guard against the Ottoman Empire, it is impossible to draw too many troops to garrison east of the Ural Mountains. After all, this is just a small move.

If possible, of course they did not want to alarm the Ming Empire, after all, they just wanted to quietly win a "victory".

But now the Ming Empire not only discovered it, but also sent an army of 30,000 people.

With such a huge army, everyone is equipped with advanced firearms. No matter what kind of firearms they use, this momentum alone cannot be resisted by two thousand of them, so they immediately brought the news back to Moscow.

There was no castle east of the Ural Mountains. The previous buildings were "illegal" on the Ming Empire, so they were all demolished.

Of course, the two thousand of them did not dare to confront the 30,000 people of the Ming Empire, so they had to retreat to the Ural Mountains and rely on the cover of the mountains and forests to prepare for a defensive war.

Regarding the movements of their team, Ma Dayong had already sent a probe to track them and accurately knew where they were hiding.

When Ma Dayong came with his army, the army's position happened to be outside the firepower range of the Tsarist army.

Then, Ma Dayong sent soldiers to bring all the mortars up and directly attacked the soldiers of the Tsarist Kingdom where they hid.

By the time the soldiers of the Tsarist countries realized that they were aimed at the guns of the artillery, it was too late.

A large number of shells flew out together, directly covering the area where they were. Whether it was trees, flowers, plants, or rocks, under such artillery fire, they were all blown into ruins, not to mention the soldiers with flesh and blood, all of which were covered in blood and flesh, and broken limbs and wreckage splattered everywhere.

Just a round of shells washed the floor, and the area was almost flattened.

After all, there were many artillery on the Ming Empire, and the power of shells increased by geometric times after using nitrofiber.

After one round of bombing, no more than one-fifth of the more than two thousand Tsarist soldiers survived.

Then, the army rushed into the mountains and fired them with advanced rifles.

None of these people will be left behind!

Ma Dayong wanted to lead his army into the Tsarist Kingdom and directly attack Moscow, without any need for prisoners along the way.

Those who are willing to surrender can leave by putting down their weapons, but now these guys who dare to invade the territory of the Ming Empire cannot.

Although Ma Dayong is nominally just a private armed gang leader, he still thinks he is from the Jinyiwei of the Ming Empire.

That kind of loyalty and love for the country made him unable to tolerate these guys who invaded the territory of the Ming Empire.

After a bloody massacre, many corpses appeared in this forest.
