Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 598: The capture of Novgorod, the death of the Grand Duke

If there is anyone who can help him at this time, it is only Zhang Yong's assassin team.

And he also wants to call the entire Mongolian army over. Kalman, your luck is not so good!
In fact, even if Kalman and the old noble group did not rebel, she would have called the Mongolian army into Hungary this time.

Then she would completely eliminate those traditional conservative old-power nobles, and at the same time eradicate the Principality of Croatia, as the queen of a country and a qualified ruler.

She knew clearly what to do and what not to do, and if her son wanted to take power completely, he would have to wait at least five to six years.

During this period, she will slowly return the power of the country to him until her son grows up to be a qualified monarch.

So during this period, he had to eliminate all the old-school nobles who posed a threat to his son's rule, which was the biggest threat.

Moreover, whether the Eastern Roman Empire will abide by the previous agreement with Zhang Yong is another question. They may not give up the land of the Bulgarian Empire.

What's more, she had written a letter to Zhang Yong a few years ago to tell him about letting his son become one of the two emperors.

However, Zhang Yong's answer was that she didn't need to worry, he would handle the matter, and now, his and Euprasia's child was still young.

We will wait until the Western Expedition is over and the child is eighteen years old before sending him here. If the Eastern Roman Empire does not agree then,

Then there would naturally be an excuse to start a war, and the Golden Horde or the Khanate of Ögedei would also take action.

Soon, the Mongolian envoy who was still sleeping was awakened and brought to Queen Maria.

"Respected Queen Maria, do you have anything to tell me?" The Mongolian envoy bowed to Queen Maria of Hungary and asked.

They called me here so late, it seems something extreme happened in Hungary.

"Dear Mongolian envoy, I shouldn't call you the envoy of the Daqian Empire. I need you to return immediately to meet your commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition.

When you meet Zhang Dingguan, tell him that the Croatian Grand Duke Kalman is likely to rebel, rebel against me and his father.

If he sends someone here who doesn't come in my name, then they could be traitors, so tell him to be careful." Queen Maria repeatedly warned the messenger.

"So that's how it is. I understand, Queen Maria. I will set off back immediately." The Mongolian envoy immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Yes! I will stabilize the situation in the Hungarian Royal City and wait for the arrival of the Mongolian army. The assassination troops had better be sent here as soon as possible."

“I understand, don’t worry, Queen Maria.

If you don't mind, these few followers of mine are actually members of the assassination team. You can let them stay here for the time being and wait for your orders." The Mongolian envoy said.

The people who escorted him here were from the assassin corps. The assassin corps usually escorted messengers, or served as scouts to gather military intelligence.

So this time there were several members of the assassination force in his messenger team.

"That's great! Let them stay here first and you return as soon as possible." Queen Maria said with a happy look on her face.

These people are masters of assassination and also masters of spying.

The Mongolian envoy nodded, handed over the five assassin army members who were escorting him to Queen Maria, and informed them of the seriousness of the situation.

That night, under the escort of a dozen knights, the Mongolian envoys secretly left the Hungarian royal city.

At this time, on the battlefield of Novgorod City.

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
The deafening sound of war drums rang out, and the three-day deadline was up. The Mongol army heading west set up all of their cannons outside the city of Novgorod.

The hot air balloon weapons were ready, and all the troops performed their duties, completely surrounding the city of Novgorod.

“Grand Prince, all the troops are ready, and our cavalry units have been spread out in all directions, ready to stop anyone who escapes.

The Ross army has also been organized, and they will be the first to attack the city.

Then the musketeers will follow behind them, and as for the hot air balloons, the army will take off soon, but the city of Novgorod is not very big, so only five hot air balloons can be launched. "Cha Tuohua came to Zhang Dingguan and said.

This strategic deployment was arranged by him. The Mongolian cavalry has good mobility and can be spread out around the battlefield to hunt down the enemy. The musketeers have great lethality, and the Russian army can act as a meat shield cannon, which will make them stand in front.

This was also an active request from the Russian army because they wanted to avoid being massacred.

The Principality of Novgorod is a big city after all, and this city cannot be massacred so easily!
So several Russian grand dukes, Zhang Dingguan, and their Mongolian army generals discussed the matter and finally decided that the Russian army would be the main force to attack the city.

Woo! Woo!
The horn was blown and five hot air balloons began to take off. After the huge red hot air balloon took off, it once again gave the Principality of Novgorod a huge shock.

A huge aircraft began to fly towards the town of Novgorod. This time there were only two crew members on board, one was responsible for operating it and the other was responsible for dropping bombs. It was equipped with a large number of homemade bombs and explosive packs.

"Oh my God! What is that?"

"Oh my God, bless us, bless us!"

Alexandernovsky's face changed drastically when he looked at the five hot air balloons flying in the sky. He didn't expect that the Mongolian army would use such weapons to attack them!

What on earth is this? Isn't this too horrifying?
"How can we deal with this monster? How can we deal with this monster? This is something that no human can fight against!" A Polish commander knelt on the ground with trembling legs, and spoke tremblingly.

If the enemy came with a sword, he would not be so afraid, but how should he face this huge monster flying in the sky!
"Today we will go to hell or heaven together. Now pick up our weapons! Let's fight the final battle!" Alexander Nevsky let out a crazy laugh.

He had done his best, bringing in reinforcements from abroad, even from the Novgorodians' former mortal enemies.

He delayed the attack of the Mongolian army to the greatest extent, but even so, he seemed unable to change the fate and they were about to be defeated.

Soon, the hot air balloon flew over the Novgorod army. All the soldiers were stunned and looked up at the huge creatures flying in the sky.

"Hahaha! I am dreaming, right? I must be! I must be dreaming!"

"Damn it, how is it possible, how could there be such a thing!"

Then some white and black things were thrown down, they were explosive packs! There were also black earth bombs.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

bump!bump!
There were huge roars, explosions, and flames shooting into the sky. In order to cooperate with the hot air balloon troops in the sky, the army outside the city also began to ignite heavy artillery and cannons, bombarding the army inside the city.

Countless soldiers standing on the top of the city walls were blown to pieces, their bodies were scattered everywhere, and broken limbs and debris covered the entire city wall.

"It's hell, it's hell!"

"The flying thing looks like a dead head. Why? Why would such a demon from hell come to the human world?"

"We're done! We're done!"

At this moment, the soldiers in the city were completely emotionally broken. They had the courage to attack the enemy and fight in the name of God when they went out of the city to fight a few days ago.

But now, after the appearance of this straw that almost broke the camel's back, they lost their last desire for war, because there was no need to fight anymore and it was impossible to win.

The discipline of the defenders in the city collapsed, and even the officers were unable to command their troops, but the army outside the city would not give them a chance to breathe. Large numbers of soldiers from the Western Expedition Army pushed heavy artillery to the city gate, and then aimed the huge artillery at the city gate.

The Russian city gates were far inferior to those in the East, and the walls of Novgorod were not very high.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
With a few earth-shattering bangs, the north gate of Novgorod was blown open first, followed by the south and east sides, and even some city walls were blown down.

"Russ army! Warriors, kill your way into the city!
Today, we will destroy this country and attack this city!" A Ross general roared excitedly, and then led his army into the city.

The tactics of these Russian troops were very ancient, even primitive, in Zhang Dingguan's opinion.

However, I heard that their tactics were a close combat formation of shields and axes invented by my father, and these Russians are very suitable for using this tactic.

"Kill! Kill! Ulla! Ulla!"

The Ross army began to advance with shields in hand, and the musketeers under Zhang Dingguan also cooperated and entered the city together, starting to sweep the city.

The final battle finally began, from the launch of the attack to the breach of the city gate.

Only more than an hour had passed, and the astonishing speed of the breakthrough even prevented the defenders in the city from reacting.

However, even if they reacted, it would be of no avail, because the war was over, it ended from the moment the general offensive was launched!
"Brother, Alexander, brother, what should we do? The enemy, the enemy has already attacked the city." Yaroslav came to his eldest brother and said anxiously.

"What can we do? Right now, there is no other way except praying to God!
My brother, we have been defeated. Although we don't want to admit it, it is the fact." Alexandernovsky laughed at himself and said.

"How is this possible, brother, my brother, you are the hero of the Battle of Ice Lake, you are the brave defender of Lovegorod, you have been given the title of hero! How can you admit defeat?" Yaroslavevich widened his eyes and looked at his elder brother in disbelief.

In his mind, his eldest brother is a man of integrity, who has never known fear and is both brave and resourceful. Otherwise, their family would not have dominated the Northern Ross region and become the de facto ruler.

The two brothers became the two most powerful rulers, ruling over Novgorod and the Principality of Vladimir.

"Perhaps, you are the hope of us Russians. I will hand my child over to you, and you can bring your youngest son and the heavily armored knights in our city.

Then you should break out immediately! Try to escape if you can. If you can escape, run westwards, to France, to the Holy Roman Empire to seek help.

Tell them all about the terror of the Mongols and the incredible weapons they used. " Alexander Nevsky patted his brother on the shoulder and said.

Now, it was the only thing he could do, to let his brother go, taking his own offspring and his offspring with him.

Run to the western countries together, then spread the threat of Mongolia to the western countries, spread the power of Mongolia, and then avenge themselves.

"But! Brother! Big brother! If we want to leave, we should go together. Let's leave together! This city has fallen and we can't defend it." Grand Prince Vladimir Ivrevich said.

"I can't leave! If I leave, then you can't escape. I have to stay here and make the final arrangements.

Go! Hurry up and leave, it will be too late. "Alexander Nevsky said, and pushed his brother away.

He nodded to his brother with a determined expression, then drew his sword and walked towards the top of the city wall.

Grand Prince Vladimir nodded with difficulty, then immediately rushed into the inner city and brought his eldest brother's two children and his wife.

He took his wife and children with him and began the final raid under the cover of the Iron Guard cavalry.

At the same time that Grand Duke Vladimir fled, reinforcements sent by other Western European countries and Eastern European mercenaries also began to retreat.

These people have completely lost their backbone. All the soldiers are now thinking about one thing, and that is to escape, escape!

Countless Western European soldiers, even Novgorod soldiers, rushed frantically to the city gate. They now wanted to leave.

“All Ross brothers, we are only here to deal with the nobles here. All of you are not our target, so put down your weapons!
As long as you lay down your weapons, you can survive. We have prepared delicious broth and black bread for you outside the city. You can go out and have a good meal. "A South Ross general said.

"Sir, you are a noble after all. Can I trust you? You won't deceive us, right? You won't deceive us poor people?" asked a Novgorod soldier.

"As long as you lay down your weapons, I promise you that you will all be safe and the Mongolian army will never massacre the city.

You will soon be able to go home, lean against your own stove, roast your bread, and sleep peacefully."

After hearing the general's assurance, some Novgorod soldiers looked at each other, nodded, and put down their weapons.

To be honest, they really had no resistance left ever since that monster flying in the sky appeared!

The male Russian officer nodded with satisfaction and ordered some of his subordinates to escort the Russian soldiers who had laid down their arms out of the city and then place them in a prisoner camp.

As for the mounted knights and some Nordic troops, they were all blocked by the infantry and either laid down their weapons or were killed. However, the Russian army, which was a cavalry unit, actually took the initiative to make way for them and let them leave the city.

The knights who saw this scene were overjoyed. They thought that the Ross army was afraid of them and the knights did not dare to stop them, which allowed them to rush out.

But these noble knights did not know that the Mongolian cavalry was waiting for them outside the city, and the Russian army was responsible for dealing with the soldiers inside the city. The knight rushed out of the city!

They are beyond their range of obstruction, and the Mongolian army outside the city will give them a good beating.

The city cannot be defended and has been surrounded. It is not just the Ross infantry who are standing in their way!

These generals from Poland, Lithuania, Prussia and Germany successfully rushed out of the city with their guards.

Standing in front of them were pairs of heavily armed Mongolian cavalrymen wearing black armor, holding scimitars and wearing masks.

However, the European cavalry who had just rushed out of the city and thought they had gained freedom and escaped to heaven, saw a rain of arrows coming towards them and the Mongolian cavalry charging towards them.

"Ah!"

"Help!"

"Don't kill me! I am a noble. Capture me. Capture me. My family can pay the ransom." A noble general who was chopped to the ground by Mongolian cavalry immediately raised his hands and spoke.

Even when fighting against the barbaric and cruel YSL believers, they could surrender, and as noble soldiers, they could be released as long as enough ransom was paid.

A Mongolian knight jumped off his horse and hit the European knight hard with the hilt of his sword, knocking him unconscious.

As for these Western noble knights, the eldest prince has ordered that they should be captured alive as much as possible and then imprisoned in solitary confinement.

A few hours later, as more and more troops poured into the city, the fighting in the city began to end. Alexandernovsky was hit by more than a dozen arrows and knife wounds and died in the city.

This hero of the Ice Lake did not choose to surrender in the end, but chose to die gloriously in battle. The leading Mongolian commander bowed to him and then collected his body.

With the death of Alexander Nevsky, the war in the city came to an end and the entire city of Novgorod was captured.

However, the battle outside the city was still going on. A large number of cavalry troops and some Western nobles had fled out of the city, and now the Mongolian cavalry were capturing people everywhere.

"Run, let's run to the woods in the east, we can use the trees to hide our figures." Grand Prince Vladimir roared.

He was followed by dozens of guards. (End of this chapter)
