From early morning to noon, 300,000 people from both sides fought on a battlefield covering more than 40 kilometers from Tver.

Artillery shells kept hitting the position, turning large areas of land into scorched black. The land was so soft from the bombs that one could step on it to reach the ankle.

Grouchy and Schlieffen frantically set up their headquarters only five kilometers away from the front line.

The battle continued from noon to evening, and Grouchy and Schlieffen found... that they almost broke through the Russian army's line every time. However, the Russian army always had reinforcements appearing, driving away the French and Prussian troops who had just entered the Russian army's position.

come out.

Hand-to-hand combat occurred more than once, and it was also a hand-to-hand combat between company-level units.

Hundreds of people are fighting together on the battlefield. They are like fighting dogs in a dog fighting ring. They show their sharpest fangs towards the enemy!

Some people were covered in flames, and their appearance could not be clearly seen. All they could see was their bloody bayonets running wildly in the flames.

The bayonet was broken and the gun was broken!

Then use the engineer shovel and the wooden sticks you find casually.

More people use their fists, teeth, and everything they have to attack the enemy.

After experiencing the bloody battle in the Corpse Mountain and Blood River, Grouchy and Schlieffen considered themselves hard-hearted. Seeing such a scene, their faces turned pale.

I haven’t seen such a brutal battle in many years! The cruelty of the last war was incomparable to this one.

The bones of the Russians are really hard. One wave of people fell down, and another wave of people came out again. It seemed that the Russians could not kill them all.

Soon, the two sides' battle lines were locked together. Both sides were exhausted after fighting for a day, and no one was able to launch a new attack.

"How come the Russian army has so many reinforcements? I calculated and found that there are almost more than 50,000 reinforcements. Moreover, these people are all well-trained soldiers, not just a ragtag group of people recruited temporarily."

Schlieffen took a sip of water, and his nose was filled with the smell of earth and blood.

We were so close to the front line, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and burning. Even the water seemed to be carrying the smell of fireworks.

"Have you noticed that many Russian troops use rifles made in the Ming Dynasty? The sound of rifles made in the Ming Dynasty is very different from those made in Russia.

Moreover, don’t you think that the Russian artillery fire suddenly became powerful. Especially the rocket launchers, how come they have so many rocket launchers.” Seeing that Grouchy did not speak, Schlieffen said again.

"What's there to be suspicious of? Ming Dynasty is helping the Russians." Grouchy suddenly became silent, and it took a long time after Schlieffen finished speaking before he said softly.

"What? You said Ming Dynasty is helping the Russians?" Schlieffen swallowed hard and stared at Grouchy in surprise.

It had only been a few days, and we were already getting involved with the Russians. Ming Dynasty's efficiency was probably a little too high.

"What's the point! People of the Ming Dynasty have always been like this, relying on their strong military power to do whatever they want. It's nothing to be with the Russians. Didn't the Russians all say that they want to dedicate Moscow to the Ming Dynasty?

For the people of Ming Dynasty, nothing is as important as real interests.

The Grand Marshal of the Ming Dynasty is a pure profit animal. So is his younger brother who is the naval commander!"

"Bang!" Grouchi slammed the kettle in his hand on the stone next to him.

As a traditional ally of the Ming Dynasty, Grouchy had a far deeper understanding of the Ming Dynasty than Schlieffen did.

Schlieffen raised his head, and the roar of the airship came from the dark night sky.

It was dark again, and in order to make time, the Ming Dynasty airships had begun to fly directly over the coalition forces, and in accordance with the requirements of the Russian army, they dropped the Russian troops coming from St. Petersburg to support the city of Tver.

"Listen! This is evidence. They are using airships to transport weapons and people. Just watch, there will be tens of thousands more Russian troops overnight.

It is estimated that they will also give the Russians a lot of rockets. The Ming Dynasty has a lot of these. Tomorrow, even if we are beaten to death, we will not be able to break through the Russian front.

Or, if we really break through the Russian lines, maybe the Ming army will go into battle naked and use their airships to drop bombs on our heads.

What can you do? Fight back?

Our Emperor will never allow a war with the Ming Dynasty. They can organize the whole of Europe to attack Russia, and they can also organize all the Slavs to attack Prussia and France.

The British were frightened by the Ming Dynasty and would not care about matters on the European continent.

The Ottoman Empire was the dog of the Ming Dynasty.

If we really dare to shoot down the Ming Dynasty’s airship, then let’s wait to go to a military court.”

Grouchy covered his face in pain. He knew that the coalition forces would not be able to enter Moscow.

"Damn the Ming people, they...!" Schlieffen cursed fiercely.

But he had no choice but to admit that Grouchy was right. Neither Prussia nor France combined had the strength to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

It’s over! It’s really over!

So many people died, and such huge resources were consumed. But they failed to get the benefits they deserved!

Anyone facing the current situation would go crazy with anger.

Grouchy is not the only smart person. There are a lot of smart people among the 250,000 coalition troops.

Listening to the sound of the airship in the sky, many people understood what was going on.

Although they are in the army, rumors still spread faster than the wind.

Soon, a depressed mood permeated the entire army, and even the air seemed to be filled with the smell of sadness.

Disappointment is written on everyone's face!

In a day of desperate struggle, many relatives and friends lost their lives on the battlefield. They risked their lives just to win. What a pity! Victory is dozens of kilometers away, but they can never step into it.

The morale of the soldiers became increasingly sluggish. Some even began to sob softly.

The saddest thing in the world is... that you can't get the corresponding reward for your efforts.

For the coalition forces, it was a sad night. For the Russian army, it was a busy night.

The huge airship landed directly on Tverskaya Square. Groups of troops flown in from St. Petersburg got out of the airship pod.

In their hands, they no longer had messy and broken old-fashioned rifles. They were rifles made in the Ming Dynasty, and the barrels gave off a dim light under the firelight.

Each soldier's bullet bag is fully filled with 60 rounds of ammunition, which can enable them to last on the battlefield for a long time.

After some airships landed, strong Russian civilians gathered around them. Two people carried a wooden box, and everyone handled it gently.

It contained rockets. The rockets made great contributions during the day. The Russians relied on the supplies from the Ming people and carried out several large-scale covering shots.

These covering shots caused heavy casualties to coalition soldiers.

Without this kind of covering fire, the Russian army would not be able to hold on until now.

Yekaterina was very excited because she saw the Ming army's powerful transportation capabilities. One day and one night, 50,000 soldiers were airlifted from St. Petersburg. There were also as many mountains of equipment and ammunition!

No wonder the tyrannical France is so afraid of the Ming Empire.

Russia is finished. The land that our ancestors have fought for for hundreds of years with their blood will be split into small countries by the Ming Dynasty, and may even be occupied by other countries.

However, Ekaterina believes that as long as Moscow is saved, the seeds of Russia's renaissance can be preserved.

Moreover, it can be seen from Ming Dynasty’s help to Russia today that Ming Dynasty does not want two countries with superior strength to appear in Europe.

The purpose of Russia today is to suppress France and Prussia.

Daming's criterion for selecting opponents is strength!

As long as you have the ability to challenge the Ming Empire, you will appear on the list of Ming's enemies.

The British are like this, and they themselves are like this. If it weren't for the technology brought by Dorgon, which quickly improved Russia's industrial capabilities, Ming Dynasty would not have gone to great lengths to organize the entire European force to attack Russia, and ultimately dismantle Russia.

untie.

Catherine believed that France and Prussia would not be able to stay idle for long.

After swallowing up part of Russia's territory, France and Prussia will soon become the new potential enemies of the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe the next war will be when the Ming Dynasty gathers a group of Slavs to attack France or Prussia.

It is indeed an empire with a history of five thousand years of civilization. Once you become a strong man, your skills are really powerful.

The so-called five thousand years of civilization history is actually five thousand years of struggle history.

In this field, the Ming Empire undoubtedly has very rich experience.

"Kalashnikov, how many people can we transport by tomorrow when the premature coalition launches another attack?" Yekaterina asked when she saw Kalashnikov.

"Her Majesty the Queen! Brauchitsch said that by tomorrow morning, at least 30,000 troops can be brought in, all with weapons and equipment.

And more than two thousand rockets can be transported. Enough! Enough! The soldiers are repairing the fortifications. If the coalition forces continue to attack tomorrow, we will definitely defeat them again and not let them move forward!"

Kalashnikov was very excited. A general has endless weapons and soldiers. How can this make people not excited?

"The coalition forces will not use that thing called chlorine gas bombs again. Many of our soldiers died last night." Ekaterina heard about the chlorine gas bombs and was very worried for the soldiers on the front line.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that many of the front-line troops have withdrawn. What's left are just some lookout posts. Besides, today's wind direction is not conducive to the spread of chlorine gas.

If they use it again, the chlorine gas will drift to them." After saying this, Kalashnikov looked around mischievously.

Then he whispered to Ekaterina: "The Ming Dynasty gave us a batch of rockets filled with chlorine gas. Your Majesty, do you think we should launch them to the opposite position?"

"Are there any bad consequences?" Ekaterina asked solemnly.

"The consequence is that they may throw more. By then, both sides will suffer heavy casualties."

"Hmph! Since they used it first, don't blame us for using it too. Call them, and we'll call them tonight. If anything happens, I will be responsible for everything!"

Ekaterina thought for a while and immediately shouted orders to Kalashnikov.
