Chapter 399: Mariupol Battlefield Guo Jing's Master Tian Xiu

Chapter 399: Mariupol battlefield! Master Guo Jing is amazing!
Canopy.

[Soon the Principality of Rus organized a coalition army, adding part of the Kipchak army.]

【The total number reaches 100,000! 】

[But there are still 20,000 people who came all the way from Moscow and did not arrive at the battlefield in the first place.]

[The 80,000-strong Russian coalition army is stationed on the right bank of the Dnieper River.]

【We waited for the arrival of the Mongolian army. 】

[Soon, the Mongolian commander-in-chief, Jebe, and his deputy commander, Subutai, led 2 Mongolian troops to the left bank of the Dnieper River.]

[They were also shocked when they saw the mighty Ross coalition army stationed on the other side of the river! ]

【Zhebie never expected this. 】

[Here, there is such a large enemy army waiting for him. ]

[The Russians were not included in the Mongol plan for the westward expedition.]

[At least for the time being, it is not included in the westward expedition plan. ]

【So Jebe sent an envoy to express that Mongolia had no intention of invading Russia.】

[And hope that the Russians can form an alliance with Mongolia. ]

【First, destroy the Kipchak people, and then divide the Kipchak steppe equally among everyone. 】

【The story of the alliance with Jin to destroy Liao. 】

【Isn’t it beautiful? 】

【But the counter-espionage plot was easily discovered by Michisila. 】

[The Mongolian envoy who went to deliver the message was also killed.]

【Afterwards, Michisila gave an order, and 8 troops crossed the Dnieper River to attack the Mongolian army.】

……

The barrage also spoke out.

"Wow, Zhebie can't speed up! This lineup was invincible in ancient times, right?"

"Is Zhebie the master of Brother Jing?"

"The Mongolian envoy was killed again. This is really a high-risk job."

"Why are those countries so blind and always like to kill Mongolian envoys and Mongolian caravans?"

"You will understand why the Han envoys are also high-risk occupations. "

"Are the Russians so reckless? Are they going to force their way across the Dnieper River?"

"The Russians at that time had just evolved from primitive tribes and were naturally reckless."

"The Mongols are attacking us halfway across the river, why don't we attack?"

《2 vs 8! On the head!》

……

Canopy.

[Faced with the Ross coalition forces that were several times larger than their own and were well-rested. 】

【Zhebie did not choose to fight hard. 】

【Instead, he led his troops to retreat.】

[In order to retreat, a thousand Mongolian warriors were left behind as the rear guard. ]

[These 1,000 Mongolian warriors fought to the death and held back the Russian coalition forces.]

【In the end, all of them died in battle.】

[While retreating, Zhebie deliberately controlled his speed and did not run away without a trace, but lured the Ross coalition forces to chase him.]

[They kept sending small numbers of troops to engage in battle with the Russians, and kept dropping all kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry along the way.]

[The Russian nobles were originally descendants of Viking pirates, and they were blinded by money and continued to pursue. ]

[In this way, using the tactic of luring the enemy deep into his territory, Zhebie continued to move the battlefield eastward.]

[Buy time for Mongolia's subsequent reinforcements. ]

[During his retreat, Zhebei sent a message to Subuchi on the east coast of the Caspian Sea, asking him to send troops for support.]

【On the other hand, we are also analyzing the enemy's situation. 】

[After understanding these few days, as well as the news of bribing businessmen and traitors. ]

【Zhebie knew that although the enemy's coalition forces were numerous, they were a mess.】

[Each Grand Duke leads his own troops. When the situation is favorable, they can still unite, but when the situation is unfavorable, they all have their own ulterior motives! ]

【It is not difficult for Zhebie to defeat such an army. 】

[Just looking for a suitable battlefield opportunity. ]

[In this way, Zhebie retreated while leading the Russians to pursue him.]

[We withdrew for 9 consecutive days and nights.]

[They retreated to the edge of the Sea of Assyria, outside the city of Mariupol, and east of the Kalka River.]

【Zhebei built fortifications along the east bank of the Kalka River, which actually gave him a terrain advantage.】

[If the Ross army wants to continue the pursuit, they will have to cross the river and attack despite the fortifications.]

Outside the sky. Warring States Period.

When Wu Qi saw this scene, he couldn't help but applaud.

"Excellent! This later generation Mongolian army commander, Zhebie, although he was a foreign barbarian, was indeed a master of military tactics."

"He used this tactic of holding back a small number of troops while the main force fought and retreated."

“The requirements for command techniques and military quality are extremely high.”

“But once completed, the benefits are huge!”

"We can see that through the movement, the Mongolian army had to travel a long distance and had to cross the Dnieper River to attack."

"Now it has become that the Ross coalition forces are exhausted."

"And if you want to pursue further, you have to cross the river and fight."

"The geographical advantage on the battlefield was reversed in an instant."

"This tactical pulling ability is really impressive!"

The sky continues.

[Turn your attention to the Ross coalition.]

[The Ross army marched forward with great strides and won victory after victory.]

[After chasing the Mongolian army for nine days and nine nights, we arrived at Mariupol. ]

【Seeing that they would need to cross the river to fight, everyone began to have doubts. 】

[The old Duke Michisi was a veteran of the battlefield. He saw that the terrain was not favorable for his side and that his coalition forces were exhausted after continuous pursuit.]

【So they decided not to cross the river for the time being. 】

[He convened a meeting with other archdukes to discuss how to fight next.]

[At this time, the shortcomings of the coalition forces, each with their own agenda, became apparent. ]

[At the beginning, everyone's morale was high, so naturally they fought fiercely. ]

【But now everyone is tired. 】

[And after chasing for so long, we still need to cross the river? No one wants to be the pioneer in crossing the river! ]

【But retreat just like that? 】

[First, they did not achieve a complete victory, which was equivalent to gathering 10 troops in vain.]

[Secondly, if we retreat, we will need a strong rearguard to face the Mongolian army that comes and goes like the wind.]

[No duke was willing to stay behind to cover the retreat.]

[They dare not attack, and they are unwilling to retreat. 】

[So they could only stay where they were and wait for the coming of winter.]

[After all, Mariupol is relatively close to the Russian countries. ]

[It's considered a half-home battle. ]

[In comparison, the Mongols came all the way from the Mongolian Plateau, so it was relatively difficult to get supplies, and their military strength was not as large as that of the Russians.]

[As long as we wait until winter comes and General Winter arrives, we can cross the frozen river and launch an attack on the ice.]

[If the Mongols don't dare to fight the Russians in winter, then let them retreat.]

[As long as the Mongols retreat far away and do not invade the Ukrainian region. ]

【Then everything is easy. 】

【So the two sides faced each other across the river. 】

[Grand Duke Michisi sent people to insult Zhebie every day, hoping to make Zhebie lose his mind and cross the river to defeat the enemy with fewer troops.]

【But Zhebie remained unmoved. 】

[The two sides confronted each other along the river.]

Outside the sky.

Zhu Di frowned when he saw this.

It felt like things were starting to go wrong for the Ross coalition.

Although Zhu Di was not particularly familiar with the battles after the Mongol invasion of the West.

But I probably know the overall situation.

Knowing that the Mongolian army's westward expedition was unstoppable.

Those Russian principalities were all conquered by Mongolia.

But Zhu Di didn't know how he conquered it before.

but now.

See the battle enter the stalemate stage.
