Where are our troops?
"Your Grace, our army is still two or three days away from the capital."
“But I heard that Kutuzov has returned with a large army,” Victor said.
"They've already returned from the Great Xia Dynasty? How much gold did they plunder this time?"
Victor shook his head: "I only heard this secondhand, and I don't know how much gold they stole."
“Your Grace, I don’t think they brought much gold,” Harvey interjected.
What do you mean?
"If these Rakshasa people really brought a lot of gold from the Great Xia Dynasty, they would have already come into the city to show it off."
Their Tsarina, Catherine, was a woman whose favorite thing was gold.
"But so far, I have never heard of them entering the city."
"They haven't even entered the city yet,"
"What exactly are these Russians up to?" Bonaparte frowned. "Keep investigating."
“Your Grace, I think it’s possible,” Harvey continued, “that their army encountered a formidable enemy shortly after setting out, was defeated, and had to retreat in haste.”
The others shared the same idea.
Otherwise, they would never have retreated so easily.
Just then, one of Bonaparte's guards strode over.
"Your Excellency, my men overheard the following statement in the palace just now."
"What are you saying?"
“A man named Jiang Tian from the Great Xia Dynasty said that Catherine’s cavalry was wiped out a few days ago.”
"Who did this?"
"It was done by the people of the Great Xia Dynasty. I heard that these tens of thousands of cavalry were wiped out in just one hour. Their fighting strength is really that strong."
The people present were incredulous when they heard this.
The cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom were considered quite formidable throughout Europe.
Moreover, they also had Gesak cavalry composed of Tatars.
Cossack cavalry were second to none in Europe.
Cossack cavalry was a trump card in the hands of Tsar Catherine the Great.
Once Empress Catherine plays this trump card, it's estimated that no one can rival her.
"Have the people of the Great Xia Dynasty arrived at the palace?" Bonaparte asked.
"The three men stormed the palace today, killing more than 100 palace guards. Catherine was also terrified."
"Such a thing is true? The Great Xia Dynasty is nothing but a bunch of barbarians. What right do they have to come here?" Bonaparte roared.
“Your Grace, I believe this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us.”
"This one thing alone shows that the fighting strength of the Rakshasa Kingdom's army is really not that good."
“Let’s stick to your plan: first take down the Rakshasa Kingdom, then march the army eastward and take down the Great Xia Dynasty.”
Bonaparte stood with his hands behind his back, deep in thought.
He kept nodding as he worked.
Everyone present held their breath, not daring to utter a sound.
Everyone was waiting for the Duke's plan.
A full 20 minutes passed.
"Send the order for our troops to advance quickly, preferably to reach the outskirts of St. Petersburg by tomorrow."
"I estimate that Catherine is currently focusing all her attention on how to deal with the Great Xia Dynasty. This gives us the perfect opportunity."
"promise……"
…………
Several towns within a radius of two or three hundred miles from St. Petersburg.
The Xiongnu cavalry had already wreaked havoc inside.
On murder, arson, and robbery.
If the Xiongnu cavalry dared to claim second place, no one would dare to claim first.
Soon, all of these towns were engulfed in flames.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky.
Even from as far away as St. Petersburg, it can be seen clearly and plainly.
Watching the thick smoke billow into the sky.
The Xiongnu Chanyu nodded in satisfaction.
"Warriors of the Empire, our fires should be burning bright enough." The Xiongnu Chanyu sheathed his scimitar. "I wonder if their infantry have caught up yet."
"Great Chanyu, go and tell the brothers in all directions that several forces from the Russian Kingdom are advancing toward St. Petersburg."
The Xiongnu Chanyu nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.
Regardless of whether these infantry units were coming for him or for St. Petersburg.
The mission of this group of Xiongnu cavalry has been completed.
What they need to do now is lead these infantrymen straight towards St. Petersburg.
"Gentlemen, let's head to their largest city. We'll give their Tsar a good thrashing."
After looting, the Xiongnu cavalry quickly regrouped.
Tens of thousands of Hunnic cavalry drove cattle and sheep that covered the hillsides straight toward St. Petersburg.
Everyone was incredibly excited.
They were in high spirits throughout the journey.
"Great Chanyu, it seems the enemy doesn't have many cavalry?" The Left Wise King approached.
"No matter how many cavalry they have, all we need to do is lead our troops to the outskirts of their capital."
"Pass down the order: set fire to every village we see along the way. The greater the destruction we cause, the more panicked the people in the capital will be."
"clear……"
Along the way, the towns they passed through had been burned to ruins.
