On the outskirts of St. Petersburg, the Nordic lion Gustav's army is besieging St. Petersburg. He is still enduring relatively inefficient trebuchets and bombarding the city walls of St. Petersburg.

"If there were bronze cannons, St. Petersburg would have been captured by me."

Gustav looked up at the towering city walls of St. Petersburg. For a while, this strong fortress was really difficult to conquer with cold weapons.

Olaf led the Yums battle group, cooperated with the trebuchet, and stormed St. Petersburg.

The Viking Berserkers of the Umus Chapter climbed the walls and went straight into a frenzy, causing heavy losses to the defenders of St. Petersburg!

The defenders of St. Petersburg could only rely on their numerical superiority to block the Vikings' Umus battle group, and the two sides fought on the city wall.

"On average, killing a berserker from the Umus battle group requires paying the price of thirty soldiers."

The commander in charge of the defense of St. Petersburg was the Grand Duke of Novgorod. He counted the casualties caused by the Viking berserkers of the Umus Chapter to the defenders.

After the berserkers of the Ums Chapter went into a frenzy, the St. Petersburg defenders had to eliminate them at any cost, otherwise St. Petersburg might be breached.

At least 300 Viking berserkers of the Ums battle group were killed during the siege, while tens of thousands of St. Petersburg defenders fell directly under the tomahawks of the Viking berserkers.

In order to repel the Viking hero Olaf, hundreds of St. Petersburg defenders were beheaded by Olaf alone.

The defenders of St. Petersburg relied on their numerical superiority, so they could still hold on.

A war eagle landed, leaving the iron eagle scouts in St. Petersburg ahead of time, and immediately informed the Grand Duke of Novgorod.

"The Golden Horde has been destroyed by the great Grand Duke of Moscow. It is only a matter of time before Gustav, the lion of the north, is defeated!"

"Reinforcements are about to arrive, and we will be victorious if we stick to it for a while!"

The Grand Duke of Novgorod summoned the defenders of St. Petersburg and announced to them that after the main force of Ekaterina flattened the Golden Horde, they had already used the teleportation array to send part of their troops to a large city closest to St. Petersburg. , and marched on to St. Petersburg.

When the defenders of St. Petersburg heard that the powerful enemy of the Golden Horde had finally been defeated, their morale was greatly boosted, and Catherine's prestige rose sharply.

Because the morale of the defenders of St. Petersburg rose,

Gustav's attack on St. Petersburg did not go well.

"It seems that the defenders of St. Petersburg have learned that the Golden Horde has fallen and their reinforcements are coming. We have missed the opportunity. We lack bronze artillery"

Gustav was keenly aware of the rising morale of the defenders in St. Petersburg, and St. Petersburg must have realized something.

At this time, the envoy of Attila, the leader of the Huns, had arrived.

Bleda once again acted as an envoy, on behalf of Attila, to contact various allies or princes of dependent countries.

"Gustav, Vytautas, and Temujin have already been defeated, and they are discussing with our Majesty to march west together. Our Majesty needs the abilities of both of you to defeat Alexander."

Bleda saw King Gustav of Sweden and Grand Duke Vytautas of Lithuania who were attacking St. Petersburg, and Attila needed their abilities.

Even Alexander and Caesar are far inferior to Gustav when it comes to the Firearms Legion.

"Tiemu really failed, it was too soon."

Gustav was very dissatisfied with the demise of the Golden Horde.

Obviously St. Petersburg is in sight, but Gustav has no time to continue attacking St. Petersburg.

"There is a proverb in the East, one victory and one defeat, military strategists are the same, and the failure of the Golden Horde does not mean that we Huns will fail. As long as you help our Majesty defeat Alexander, Constantine, Hohenzollern and other Western lords, we will Your Majesty will give you the rewards you want after victory, land, population, gold and silver, and freedom."

"Is Attila's promise really credible?"

The personal freedom of Grand Duke Vytautas was controlled by Attila. He heard that Attila was willing to give him back his freedom, so he couldn't help but move.

Every move of Vytautas is now being monitored by the Hun generals.

Bleda said: "Our Majesty, we will never break our promise and loot the spoils of the Kingdom of Macedonia and the Holy Roman Empire. We can even agree on the proportion of division."

"I need a second tranche of military expenses to maintain the cost of dispatching troops."

Gustav asked the Hunnic Empire represented by Bleda for the second batch of military expenses.

Bleda found that Gustav was similar to a mercenary, relying heavily on the gold and silver provided by the Hunnic Empire: "We will pay you a price that satisfies you. As long as you defeat Alexander and the others, you will get millions of gold."

"withdraw troops."

After Gustav received a steady stream of military expenses from the Hungarian Empire to maintain the Nordic army, according to Attila's deployment, he left a small group of soldiers and horses to continue to besiege the city, bluffing, and invalidating the teleportation array in St. Petersburg, and then the army left St. Petersburg. Retreat to Tallinn City, and use the fleet docked in Tallinn City to transport the troops back to the Royal City of the Kingdom of Sweden.

"One day, I will take St. Petersburg"

Gustav took one last look at the towering castle towers of St. Petersburg before leaving.

If he could get the blueprints for the bronze cannon, and his ability to siege the city would be greatly enhanced, then it would be possible to capture the fortress that Ekaterina had painstakingly managed.

Bronze artillery, no lord has yet obtained such a siege and field weapon that is more convenient than a counterweight trebuchet.

In Gustav's era, bronze cannons should have been very popular. However, in the lord, bronze cannons must have special firearms to use this sharp weapon. At the same time, bronze cannons produced by special manufacturing drawings are required to be used by the system admit.

"The Nordic Legion seems to be retreating"

Grand Duke Novgorod, who defended St. Petersburg, was selected as the commander-in-chief of one side, and he also possessed certain abilities.

Although Gustav left a small group of troops to bluff, the Grand Duke of Novgorod noticed that Gustav began to retreat.

"Go out of the city and defeat them, activate the teleportation array, let the reinforcements come over, and pursue them!"

The Grand Duke of Novgorod has the fierceness of a fighting nation. He understood that Gustav left part of his troops to force the teleportation array to fail, so that Ekaterina could not send the main cavalry to pursue, so he immediately opened the city gate. Personally command a team of Novgorod heavy infantry, and go out of the city to attack the remaining Nordic legions!

The gates of St. Petersburg opened, and thousands of Novgorod heavy infantry armed with spears and long-handled battle axes rushed out of St. Petersburg to attack the camp of the Kingdom of Sweden!

However, what Gustav left behind was not an ordinary legion, but the ferocious Umus battle group!

When the Grand Duke of Novgorod saw the Viking berserkers wearing Nordic helmets and wielding tomahawks rushing out of the camp, he couldn't help but regret going out of the city to attack the broken Nordic army.

Olaf personally led the troops to attack, threw a throwing ax at his waist, and slashed the enemy general!

The Grand Duke of Novgorod saw that his general was beheaded by Olaf, and he couldn't help being terrified, his voice trembling: "Return to the city!"

Thousands of Novgorod heavy infantry were defeated by the berserkers of the Yums battle group led by Olaf, and they chased them all the way to the bottom of the city wall of St. Petersburg. The Viking Berserker, Olaf left with his battle group.

Even the Viking Berserkers couldn't resist the attacks of ballistas or trebuchets head-on. This is also the key that St. Petersburg can hold.

Olaf was a little reconciled. St. Petersburg was an insurmountable wall for his Ums regiment.

"Nine hundred people died in battle."

The Grand Duke of Novgorod fled back to St. Petersburg, and counted the number of people lost. The heavy infantry of Novgorod, which was equipped with excellent armor, was killed and wounded by the Yums battle group.

The Grand Duke of Novgorod, who had been taught a lesson, did not dare to venture out of the city, and continued to stick to St. Petersburg, waiting patiently for the arrival of reinforcements.

After ensuring that Gustav and Vytautas led the soldiers to leave, Olaf retreated to the beach with the Umus group, pushed the leading warship of the Vikings into the sea, and rowed back to Northern Europe without panic .

Ekaterina and Chutian's cavalry arrived in St. Petersburg about two days later to relieve the siege of St. Petersburg.

With the arrival of reinforcements, the Nordic army has completely left, leaving behind a messy village on the outskirts of St. Petersburg.

"In the defense of St. Petersburg, there were a total of 20,000 soldiers and 30,000 militia casualties, and less than 10,000 enemies were killed."

The Grand Duke of Novgorod shamelessly reported to Ekaterina the results of the defense of St. Petersburg, and the casualty ratio between the two sides was completely unbalanced.

"Although Gustav's legion is small in number, as the northern lion, it only brings tens of thousands of people each time it goes out, and the maximum is no more than a hundred thousand, but they are all elite."

Ekaterina knew that Gustav cherished the small population of the Kingdom of Sweden, and basically took the route of elite soldiers. It was impossible for him to have hundreds of thousands of troops like the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

Gustav's legion is all professional soldiers, mainly high-level arms, and the military expenditure is also high, so he repeatedly asked Attila for military expenditure.

"Yumus Warfare"

Chu Tian cleaned up the battlefield outside St. Petersburg and found that many Novgorod heavy infantry died from ax wounds, which were somewhat similar to the injuries caused by Harald's Varangian guards.

He hadn't fought Gustav yet, and Gustav left St. Petersburg just in time to meet Attila's envoys.

According to the Grand Duke of Novgorod, Olaf's Yums battle group has at least a thousand Viking berserkers, and the average rank seems to be lower than that of the Varangian guards. However, the defenders of St. Petersburg also killed four hundred Viking berserkers.

It is impossible to know how many Viking Berserkers there are in the Ums Chapter. It is said that the Viking Knut the Great who attacked England seems to have more Ums Chapter fighters.

"Your Highnesses, King Alexander of Macedon, sent envoys to invite your Highnesses to lead an army to attack the Hun Empire and capture Temujin and Attila alive."

Not long after Chutian and Ekaterina rescued St. Petersburg, Alexander's envoy came to ask for joint efforts to eliminate Attila and win the national war points.
