Chapter 1449 European Alliance
Following Han Yu's orders, railroad tracks were produced and laid along various cities.
Of course, the first section to be supplied was the northern section of the railway, which started from Shengjing and ran through Siberia all the way to Europe.
This railway will connect the entire Siberia with the Ming Dynasty, turning it into Ming Dynasty's land. It will also be used to ensure the material support for the expeditionary cavalry corps.
With the supply of trains, the expeditionary cavalry could finally attack boldly with confidence.
After three years of war, the expeditionary cavalry conquered the ethnic groups along the way and fought their way to the outskirts of Moscow.
Peter the Great had no idea that there was an enemy behind him.
"Didn't I conquer all those Tatars? Why are they here again?"
Peter the Great looked at the ministers around him in confusion.
However, no one could give him an answer.
"They are just a group of Tatars who can only ride horses and shoot arrows. I will wipe them out."
Peter the Great had just defeated his northern neighbor Sweden and gained a port leading to the Baltic Sea, and his self-confidence was overflowing.
He did not take the Ming army seriously at all.
In his opinion, these newly arrived Ming troops were no different from the Tatars of the Crimean Khanate.
Peter the Great summoned his musketeers and marched out of the city in orderly steps to the beat of military musicians.
"Are these barbarians all fools? They are still using such an ancient battle method and such a dense formation. Aren't they afraid of being bombarded by artillery?"
The commander of the cavalry corps looked coldly at Peter the Great's musketeers.
His cavalry corps was also equipped with flying thunder cannons.
Han Yu equipped this artillery to every unit that could handle it.
"Teach these barbarians a lesson."
The commander of the cavalry corps waved his hand, and immediately the cavalry jumped off their horses and began to assemble the flying thunder cannon on the spot.
It's just a gun barrel and an adjustable-angle gun mount, and it can be installed in less than five minutes.
"Load and aim!"
The legion commander raised his hand.
Propellant and explosive packs are loaded into the barrel.
"What is that?"
Peter the Great watched from afar as the Ming army removed huge cylinders from their horses, wondering what they were doing.
"Could it be a cannon? But how could there be a cannon with such a thin wall? Aren't they afraid of exploding?"
Peter the Great looked curious.
Then, he was taught a good lesson.
The flying explosive packs fell into the formation of his musketeers, and the violent explosion directly sent these elite musketeers into the sky.
Boom, boom!
Accompanied by the sound of explosions, the musketeers who forced the Swedes to kneel down and surrender were completely swept into the dustbin of history.
"Cavalry Corps Attack!"
The legion commander gave the order.
Bang bang bang!
The cavalrymen took off their short-barreled rifles for design.
Although the shortened barrel has affected the rifle's shooting distance and accuracy.
But the accuracy within 400 meters is still guaranteed.
After several volleys of gunfire, Peter the Great and his officers were killed on the spot.
Peter the Great never dreamed that there would be guns in the world that could shoot so far.
The legion commander naturally didn't know who Peter the Great was, he only knew that the other side was in confusion.
"Chase and strangle the remaining enemies and capture the city!"
The legion commander gave the order.
The following cavalrymen began to advance slowly into the city.
After half a day of fierce fighting, the cavalry corps successfully took control of Moscow.
"Inform the railway troops to extend the railway towards this side, and send a small team to investigate the surrounding situation."
The fall of Moscow shocked European countries.
Especially when they learned that it was a group of Tatars who captured Moscow, the memory of being ruled by the Scourge of God was revived again.
Those were two nightmare-like periods that left them with a deep-rooted fear of the Tatars.
After learning the news, the European countries immediately put aside their grievances and gathered in the Vatican to discuss how to deal with it.
Finally, with the mediation of the Bishop of Rome, European countries formed a new era of Crusades, marched eastwards, and gathered in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to stop the invasion of the Tatars.
Various countries pieced together an 800,000-strong coalition force and gathered them in the territory of the Boli Federation.
But some unpleasantness occurred during the election of the coalition commander-in-chief.
No one wanted a foreigner to command the coalition.
Who knows if others will abandon them as cannon fodder.
After several rounds of negotiations, the coalition decided not to have a coalition commander-in-chief, but to establish an organization similar to the Supreme Council, where everyone could consult and resolve issues together.
In this way, although the contradiction is resolved, coordination becomes difficult.
However, there is no other way.
This is the best solution they could think of.
After the affiliation of the coalition forces was determined, they advanced towards the territory of Tsarist Russia under the command of .
After entering the territory of Tsarist Russia, they did not encounter any attacks. When they met Ming army scouts along the way, the other side ran away far away and did not harass them.
Although the coalition forces were confused, they had no choice but to go ahead.
They will not be able to sleep or eat unless these Tatars are eliminated.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Moscow.
However, what surprised them was that they did not encounter any resistance.
There wasn't even a single soldier guarding the city gate.
This made the coalition commander very confused, and he sent scouts into the city to gather information.
An hour later, the scout came back with a report.
According to the residents of the city, the Tatars evacuated yesterday, all of them, and took away a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry looted from the Tsar's palace.
Because they carried so much jewellery, there were even a lot of silver coins spilled on the road.
"They must have realized they couldn't beat us, so they ran away after looting. They are indeed nomadic people with shortsightedness."
Denikin, the commander-in-chief of the Polish Federation, said with disdain.
"It's not a good idea for the army to stay outside. Let's get into the city first."
After discussing it, many generals decided to let the army enter the city first.
For musketeers, relying on city walls for defense inside the city is always better than fighting outside the city.
There is no harm in going into the city for them.
Moreover, after a long march, the soldiers under his command also need to relax .
The coalition forces entered the city.
The city gates were closed at night and double the number of soldiers were left on duty on the city walls.
Apart from these unlucky guys, the remaining soldiers were granted three days of leave to relax.
The city began a night of revelry, and every beer can was full.
Many people even fought each other for a barrel of beer.
Just as the coalition forces were having fun.
Trains were coming into the forest ten kilometers outside the city.
These trains are covered with thick armor on the outside, and inside the carriages are cannons of huge caliber.
