This place is not like Daming, where there are barren forests and grasslands everywhere, and there is often no human habitation for dozens of miles.Even if they exclude secret operations, it is difficult to obtain supplies.

What's more, they discovered that the people of Daming didn't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place at all, and their only purpose seemed to be to kill people.

From the banks of the Don River in the south to the city of Yaroslavl in the northeast of Moscow, this front stretched thousands of kilometers. From mid-April, the wildest battle in history began.

This time, Ming's strategic purpose is very clear, which is to kill and injure the living forces as much as possible, reduce the white population, and assimilate the ethnic group.

Except for the young woman, everyone is within the killing range.

In this day and age, there are not many "peaceful" people. Everyone believes in the right and wrong of our race, and their hearts must be different.

Therefore, even Tang Sai'er didn't have any intolerance for the imperial court's orders.Although she didn't do it herself, the captives she ordered to kill far exceeded anyone else.

The rolling iron flow goes all the way to the west, but there are two very clear lines.

Zheng Ying on the southern line is in charge of conquering the Donetsk Iron Mine area. This is the largest iron mine in the world today. It is a very important strategic reserve and must be completely occupied by Ming Dynasty.

Then, he will lead the army to besiege Kiev. In the plan of the staff department, it will take half a year to capture the Great Plains of Ukraine.

The main goal of Tang Saier on the northern front is Moscow, eight hundred miles away, and he wants to push the front line all the way to the Baltic Sea.

There, Yang Zhihe, who came from the sea, will provide various supplies for the army.

Today's St. Petersburg is still a small fishing village. In the era when no sea power could pose a threat to Ming Dynasty, it will be an important strategic location of Ming Dynasty in Eastern Europe.

Conquering Europe, Zhu Zhanji did not think that he could achieve it overnight. This is not a question of strength, but a question of manpower.

To transfer several 10 people to Europe and extend the front for thousands of kilometers, the various materials that need to be consumed are astronomical.

Daming will definitely not slow down its own development because of the war, let alone drag down its own economic development.

Therefore, unless the war is stalemate and stalemate, Da Ming will not send more troops over.

With tens of thousands of people, it is almost impossible to conquer Europe in one year.

In Zhu Zhanji's plan, it would be relatively fast to use three years to flatten the whole of Europe and shed blood in Europe.

The strategic goal of the staff department is clear, Marshal Tang Saier has rich experience, the army is not eager for success, but strictly abides by the tactical requirements, and slowly advances in all directions.

At this advance speed, the navy, cavalry, air force, automobile army, and artillery army can all cooperate closely, and will not give the enemy any opportunity at all.

Vladimir, the gateway city of Moscow, is ruled by the Novgorodians in this day and age.

Novgorod is one of the largest forces of the Rus nation. They own two Novgorod principalities, occupying the areas north of Moscow and south of Moscow.

But today's Nizhny Novgorod has been occupied by Ming soldiers and has become the command center of this western expedition.

This city became the last bastion of the Novgorodians in the south. They built a four-layer defense system around the Great Golden Gate.

When the Ming soldiers arrived in the city on the fourth day of May, they did not swarm to fight.

The rubber iron wheels of the cannons transported by cars and horses were removed, and one by one were installed in areas where Novgorod's artillery could not attack.

It took the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty two days to arrange the attack formation. The first salvo of fifty cannons that could fire flatly made the Novgorodians in the city completely desperate.

Because these artillery fires are not the stone bombs they are familiar with, but a shell that will explode when they reach their position.

Neither the solid city walls nor the soldiers in the trenches could withstand the attack of this new type of artillery.

The Great Golden Gate, known as the strongest fortress in Vladimir City, collapsed completely after receiving less than ten shells.

And those city walls that Novgorod placed high hopes on collapsed directly in front of the artillery fire.

They couldn't understand why the Ming people's artillery was so violent. Not to mention the collapse of the city wall, the vibration after the shell exploded could make the soldiers lose their combat capabilities.

In their eyes, the impenetrable defense line collapsed directly, not only the city walls, but also the hearts of the people.

The attack of Ming soldiers has not yet started, countless soldiers have already killed their leader, and began to flee westward.

And Ryazan, four hundred miles southeast of Moscow, was the first Russian city to conquer when Batu went west.

200 years have passed, but the people here still have fresh memories of the war that almost wiped out the genocide.

Under the pressure of the Principality of Moscow, the Ryazan people had no choice but to build a tight defense system in the forest along the Oka River, but in their hearts, they did not want to fight against the Ming people.

As soon as Guo Ang, who was mainly attacking here, arrived on the east bank of the Oka River, he encountered a large number of Ryazan serfs who volunteered to serve.

Today's Ross people are still in the most barbaric period, not to mention Ming people, even Europeans look down on them.

And in these Grand Duchies of Ross centered on the Principality of Moscow, apart from the nobles, they were slaves, and the nobles had the power of life and death over the slaves.

As for these slaves, their loyalty to the nobles was very limited, and knowing that they could live a "good life" by taking refuge in Daming, they took the initiative to join them one by one.

Under their leadership, the Ming people bypassed the tight defense line along the Oka River. In the downstream area, 26 flat boats stopped on two rivers, formed two pontoon bridges, and crossed the Oka River.

The city of Ryazan was built on the plains along the Oka River. For defense, their city was surrounded by dense forests, with fertile fields in the middle.

Artillery is very powerful against cities, but in the forest, it can play a much smaller role.

With these serfs leading the way, the city changed hands in just three days.

The failure of the two grand duchies of Ryazan and Vladimir meant that Moscow ahead had become an isolated city.

On June [-], Guo Ang of the Northern Route Army wiped out Kolomna's stubborn enemies and blew the city into ruins.

On June [-], he and Tang Saier joined the triangle between the Moskva River and the Yauza River, which also meant that they had eliminated most of the resistance forces on the southeast and southeast of Moscow.

Since its founding in the twelfth century, Moscow has always been the center of the entire Ross city-state.This strong city is also the sacred place in the hearts of the entire Rus people. Although they succumbed to the Golden Horde 200 years ago, even the power of the Golden Horde has been ruled by the White Horde.

The power of the Mongols declined, allowing the Turks and Russ to occupy the dominant position.

But the White Tents were not without contradictions. In fact, before the Ming Dynasty attacked, the Turkic people who believed in the Green Church and the Rus people who believed in the Orthodox Church were the biggest enemies.

But now, the Tatars and Turks in the south were defeated by Zheng Ying, and the Ross people in the north, now there are only four city-states left.

In the Kremlin, Ivan III, known as the great emperor of the generation, is still only a 25-year-old young man. Facing the unstoppable Ming army, most of the Ross nobles have already begun to migrate westward.

Ivan III is also ready to retreat, but with the strong city of Moscow, he still has to resist, otherwise, he will lose everyone's support.

Now he regrets it very much, he shouldn't have fought against the Ming people for the farm in Nizhny Novgorod.

But he who wanted to escape would not know that the entire Ross city-state was unified during his rule to form the Ross nation.

During his reign, the principalities of Yaroslavl and Rostov, Vyatka, Great Perm, Tver, and Novgorod were finally merged into a unified country.

Ivan III later stopped paying tribute to the Golden Horde. He wooed and bought the Kazan Khanate, the Astrakhan Khanate, the Nogai Khanate, the Shaybani Kingdom, and the Crimean Khanate, thus It ended the rule of the Golden Horde for two and a half centuries, and destroyed the Golden Horde at the beginning of the sixteenth century.

Therefore, he was the first Grand Duke in history to be crowned the title of monarch of all Russia, and was even known as Ivan the Great.
