Jiang Tian transmigrated to the Great Xia Dynasty and was immediately met with a drought that had lasted for many years. The county magistrate, in order to pray for rain from the Dragon King, prepa...
Jiang Tian's vehicle came to a steady stop in Yuan Chonghuan's military camp.
Yuan Chonghuan quickly came out.
"This humble general greets His Majesty?"
"Yuan Chonghuan, the Ottoman Empire has dispatched an army of 1.5 million men."
“The Embroidered Uniform Guard told me that Louis XIV of the French Empire also sent more than 500,000 troops.”
"The two sides have more than 2 million troops."
“You 100,000 Guan Ning cavalry are facing great pressure.”
Yuan Chonghuan patted his chest and said, "My lord, rest assured, our 100,000 Guan Ning cavalry are a mountain. No matter if the enemy has 2 million or 5 million, in our eyes they are just a bunch of rabble."
Outside Yuan Chonghuan's military camp tent, another troop of scout cavalry was fully equipped and ready to depart.
They took the command flag from Yuan Chonghuan and quickly mounted their horses.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Tian stopped them.
"Take two people with you, and we'll set off together." Jiang Tian snapped his fingers at the two apprentices of Song Yingxing behind him.
Two apprentices quickly stepped forward.
The two men were apprentices, each carrying a box.
The two boxes are one large and one small.
The larger ones are equipped with miniature generators, which are powered by hand-cranking.
Just a short shake is enough to generate enough electricity for the transmitter.
No, the small box contained a telegraph machine.
"My lord, who are these two people...?" Yuan Chonghuan asked, puzzled.
"Have your scouts take Song Yingxing's two apprentices with you."
"Once enemy activity is detected, send us a telegram immediately."
"That way, your scouts won't have to travel back and forth."
"We can receive news even if we are sitting in the palace."
Yuan Chonghuan had not expected that these two small boxes would have such enormous power.
"The two of you ride off with them. Once you spot the enemy, send a telegram back every half hour."
“Yes…” The two apprentices quickly mounted their horses.
"You dozen or so scout cavalrymen must protect their safety. With just the two of them here, I'll have eyes and ears everywhere."
"promise……"
Soon, a dozen scout cavalrymen escorted the two apprentices as they galloped forward.
Yuan Chonghuan: "My lord, should we recall all the cavalry?"
Most of the cavalry were scattered across various farms.
Each farm had between 3,000 and 5,000 cavalrymen.
These cavalrymen trained for most of the day and spent the rest of their time on the farm.
Jiang Tian shook his head: "Now is not the time to lure them in. We'll wait until we discover that the enemy soldiers are gathering before we join them."
"But the prerequisite is that all soldiers must continue training on the farm."
"promise……"
...
St. Petersburg.
Inside the palace.
The young girl, Ekaterina, was filled with worry.
She has already received the news.
Louis XIV's army of 500,000.
Ottoman I's army of 1.5 million.
These two armies are heading towards St. Petersburg, covered in dust from their journey.
The Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire shared a border.
After the Ottoman Empire's 1.5 million-strong army entered the Russian territory, they burned, killed, and looted along the way.
Wherever they went, houses were burned down and people were displaced.
Large numbers of civilians were indiscriminately slaughtered by them.
Whether in villages or towns, in the Ottoman Empire, after the soldiers passed through, everything was left in ruins.
Several princes and ministers stood respectfully before Catherine.
"Your Majesty, the enemy is coming on strong and unstoppable."
"The local serfs spontaneously organized an army to resist the Ottoman army's attack, but they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
"We have lost more than 400,000 people, and a large number of houses have been burned down."
"In addition, they also robbed grain and seized livestock."
Our losses were severe.
Ekaterina placed all her hopes on Jiang Tian.
But at this moment, Jiang Tian only had 100,000 soldiers.
In Catherine's view, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree if these 100,000 soldiers wanted to deal with the 2 million-strong army of the two opposing countries.
"Your Majesty, the Ottoman commander Mudra has declared that their 1.5 million-strong army will march all the way into St. Petersburg."
"They want to capture you and hand you over to the Ottoman Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Ekaterina slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
"Even if I die on the battlefield, I will not let them succeed."
As Ekaterina finished speaking, she suddenly felt her breath catch in her throat.
Ever since this young girl lost her 500,000-strong army, she has always spoken with a lack of confidence.
At its peak, Catherine had an army of five or six hundred thousand.
Moreover, these 500,000 to 600,000 soldiers were all brave and skilled warriors.
Catherine conquered vast swathes of territory belonging to the Ottoman and Persian Empires.
Now the tables have turned.
The young girl had almost no soldiers at her disposal, while the Ottoman Empire was at the height of its power.
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's reasonable to place all our hopes on Jiang Tian."
"His soldiers were very strong, but he only had about 100,000 men."
"Currently, the two countries that are targeting us have a combined 2 million troops."
“Our Rakshasa Kingdom is a big cake, and there are many people who want a piece of it.”
"We need to think of a solution."
