The Eagle of Eastern Europe

Vytautas led the army east to Minsk, preparing to advance towards Moscow. But things in Kiev gave him a headache again. After much thought, he decided to go south to rescue Kiev.

After taking Kiev, the Cossack Emirate moved its capital here. They also asked Rome to continue moving north to occupy Minsk, but currently they have captured too much land and must slow down.

In Berlin City, Vlad, who had just returned, received the news that his eldest brother and Sigismund had signed a peace treaty. The other party will admit the existence of the alliance, and the next thing Shinra will do is up to him.

"Brother, it's true. I still want to get together with him."

After seizing the two duchies in Denmark, Vlad was ready to turn his attention eastward. According to the agreement between the brothers, all Polish land west of the Vistula River belonged to him.

Now that Mihai has captured Finland and Narva, it is a good time to take this opportunity to attack the eastern region.

However, Vlad was not attacking Poland, but preparing to attack the opponent's enemies, the Teutonic Knights. Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent was severely weakened by Poland, directly seizing the Western Pomerania region would also help Brandenburg's economy.

In Moscow, the struggle between Mihai and Yuri has entered a fever pitch. The boyars took sides, and at the same time as the siege of Mainz broke out, a war broke out between the two sides in Tver near Moscow.

Both sides used all their troops. They knew that Moscow could only have one ruler, and they hoped it would be them. In this case, they could not tolerate the other party alive. Letting him die was the best dignity.

Yuri inherited Vasily's army. This army that absorbed Roman artillery was the most advanced in Moscow. The artillery fired once made it difficult for Mihai's army to move forward. The two sides entered into an artillery bombardment session for more than two hours. It can be said that everyone has losses.

Then came the charge, with the cavalry taking the lead and fighting. Then came the infantry. Blood, stumps, and weapons were flying in the air. The brutal close combat lasted from morning to evening. On this day, both sides suffered losses of more than 10,000 people, and no one took advantage.

The next day, the two sides continued to fight. Swords were waved on the ground, and cannonballs fell from the sky.

On one side are the new nobles rising from Novgrod. The soldiers are well-trained, full of passion and pride, and vow to win more glorious glory; on the other side are the old nobles with hundreds of years of history, proud and proud. Although the glory has become a thing of the past, they can still stand proudly and vow to drive each other out of Moscow. After fighting for more than two hours, Yuri's entire front retreated slightly from before, but the two sides basically maintained a balance of power.

Yuri felt that he already knew the Novgrod army very well, but he never expected that the Mihai soldiers could persist in fighting for so long after being attacked fiercely!

But soon, his left wing suffered a heavy blow and began to retreat. Because Mihai began to concentrate artillery strikes on one point, so that the entire army could concentrate on a breakthrough.

In the dusty and noisy battlefield everywhere, it was difficult to accurately understand the battle situation in a timely manner. Yuri learned a bad news: the Novgorod army had launched an attack on the left wing.

Although the soldiers were still fighting tenaciously, the defeat had become a fact. In order to avoid too many casualties and leaving Moscow undefended, Yuri ordered: Sound the retreat bugle immediately!

The soldiers' physical strength and morale were already declining sharply. After the trumpet sounded, a comprehensive retreat soon formed.

The soldiers of Novgrod immediately pursued, and Mihai also sent someone to urge the cavalry in the battle to also participate in the pursuit. This forced a large number of broken troops to flee into the mountains to escape the fierce pursuit of Novgrod's army.

Yuri brought his troops back to Moscow and prepared the city's defense. But the Patriarch of Moscow led the city's defense. He refused Yuri's entry into the city, announcing that the other party had deviated from the original religious intention and was an enemy of Moscow.

Yuri had no choice but to take the army to Ryazan, and after he left, Moscow opened the city gates for Mihai and welcomed his arrival.

Mihai got this big city in Eastern Europe, but he knew that Yuri must be completely wiped out next to achieve stability.

----Dividing line----

Wladyslaw received news from Central Europe that Sigismund had made peace with Peter, which shocked him for three hours. How can we negotiate a peace? Think about how the anti-Romanian alliance was launched with great vigor, but it was gone within a year. And he still took the lead in surrendering, which is a shame!

According to his idea, the HRE army would have to confront the Roman army for a year, which would be enough time for him to pacify Ukraine. Then they went south and approached Constantinople, allowing the Roman army to return to defense. In this way, the opponent would be helpless and had to surrender to them.

Unfortunately, the idea was good, but the opponent failed faster than he expected. The situation of breaking the city in a few days and annihilating it in a big battle, which has not been seen for hundreds of years, is now happening again, and the situation in Central Europe is a foregone conclusion.

Moreover, the Roman emperor would soon return with his army. A large number of troops suddenly pressed on him, and he had to make a decision.

"Leave it to Vytautas!"

Wladyslaw handed the letter about Peter's return to the army to the messenger and asked him to quickly report the news to Vytautas. At present, the only way to resist the Roman army is to send all the troops south.

"Your Majesty, the Sejm rejects your request."

"Damn"

Wladyslaw repeatedly asked the Sejm to provide supplies and troops to fight against Rome, but even so, these nobles did not agree. Even though Rome had occupied nearly half of Lithuania, these people still thought about their own estates and properties.

"Tell them that if they continue like this, their property will be confiscated by Rome, and there will be no more chatting about estates. Also, I can talk to them about the right to tax."

Wladyslaw really had no choice but to rely on taxation to get them to send troops. It doesn't matter if the country is in danger, it won't move them at all.

Most of Poland's economy relies on manorial land. The development of urban industry and commerce is backward, and the power of the citizens is small. This is also the reason why they cannot unite. The power of the aristocracy is too strong, and it cannot produce a new group of nobility with military merit like Rome. In addition, the power of the Parliament is too great. You can only fall into wrangling.

The army led by Wladyslaw had already reached Lviv and then headed east to Kiev. Preparing to end the war in Lithuania as soon as possible, he knew that if Rome came back, he might not even be able to save the capital. He also asked the Teutonic Knights to let him send troops without paying compensation, because the Knights' army was one of the strongest in Eastern Europe and might be able to turn the tide of the war.
