This encounter that broke out on the banks of the Ural River directly made the generals of both sides more vigilant and put away their contempt.

No matter how many tribes and small countries Lu Dazhu led his elite army to the north, he destroyed many tribes and small countries, but the combat effectiveness of the opponents they encountered was actually very limited. At least few enemies could make the elite army under his command pay too much.

By the same token, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which was at the peak of its external expansion, was absolutely extremely powerful during this period. The huge territory of later generations was almost laid down the foundation during this period. It can be imagined how powerful the Grand Duchy of Moscow was against the soldiers who went out to fight at this time.

When it comes to land combat power, looking at the Western world, there are almost no one who can compete with the Grand Duchy of Moscow. In the Eastern world, the Ming Dynasty is definitely unmatched.

A war broke out by the two armies on the banks of the Ural River. In this war, both sides had no idea what their opponents were from the beginning. Anyway, except me, they were all enemies. Whenever they encountered an enemy, no matter what their origin was, they would just kill them.

It is conceivable that under such circumstances, when two elite troops collided together, a tragic war was staged.

The team sent by the Grand Duchy of Moscow is a legion, which is 20,000 people. The number of such a team is not too large or too small.

The army led by Lu Dazhu had a total of 50,000 people when it went to war, but along the way, there were almost thousands of soldiers who were injured, and some soldiers were unable to adapt to the environment in foreign countries and had to leave the team. Now there are about 47,000 people left.

So when it comes to the number of people, it is actually the Ming side that has the advantage of the number of people, 20,000 to 47,000, which can be said to be a crushing advantage.

At the beginning, the two sides were just in a battle and had no psychological preparation at all, so the vanguard army of both sides collided.

In this case, just one fight, both sides feel the opponent's puncture and difficulty, but the more this happens, the more important the convenience is to pay attention to the two. The direct reaction is to invest more people, and it is best to destroy the opponent in one wave.

But both sides threw the army in, and the final result was a tragic war. Not only did Lu Dazhu feel sad when he saw the speed of the war loss soaring. As the commander of the Third Legion of the Grand Principal of Moscow, Andre almost fainted in pain.

The death of any soldier is a great loss for Andre, Lu Dazhu and others.

Seeing that if he fought again, Andrei, who was really going to get hurt, did not withdraw his troops. Instead, he developed a warlike nature among his nation and led his only soldiers to take the lead in killing him.

It is worthy of being a nation known as a fighting nation. The combat power it exploded suddenly suppressed the Ming side and stabilized the crumbling situation.

Lu Dazhu, who was standing in the rear and looking at the overall situation, obviously noticed the change in the enemy's aura. Soon Lu Dazhu discovered on the battlefield, and wherever he went, he led Andrei, who had high morale among the foreign army.

With a narrowed eye, Lu Dazhu slammed his horse and rushed straight to Andrei.

Andrei held a broad sword in his hand, which was extremely easy to dance in his hand. Every sword was taken seriously by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Just as Andrei slapped a Ming Junshi away, a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart. He subconsciously looked up and saw a general opposite wearing armor and was heading towards him.

As one of the few generals in the Ming army, Lu Dazhu was naturally very amazing in his military power. He rode his horse and took a blow, and the sound of wind and thunder came out faintly.

The spear penetrated into the sky and shot straight into Andre. If such a shot was stabbed into the body, I would be crippled even if I didn't die on the spot.

What an Andrei, facing the powerful Lu Dazhu, he did not dodge or avoid it. He suddenly jumped up and took advantage of the horse's body to jump up from the air and slashed towards Lu Dazhu.

I have to say that Andre's attack is exquisite. Not only did he avoid Lu Dazhu's attack, but he turned passive to initiative and immediately grabbed the initiative.

However, Andre was unusual, and Lu Dazhu was not a weak person. Seeing Andre avoiding his attack but instead counterattacked him, a look of disdain flashed in Lu Dazhu's eyes.

Lu Dazhu suddenly swung his fist and smashed it hard towards the broad sword that Andrei slashed down.

With a buzzing sound, Lu Dazhu hit the sword body of Kuojian with a blow, suppressing Andre's attack.

Just as soon as they fought, Lu Dazhu grasped Andre's strength. In fact, Andre's strength was worse than Lu Dazhu, but the two sides were not in the same system, and there was no effective comparison of the force.

A look of horror flashed in Andre's eyes. It was obvious that he could feel the strength of Lu Dazhu as soon as he fought.

"Hahaha, okay, it's rare to meet an opponent, Lu wants to learn more."

Lu Dazhu was shocked by the laughter, but instead looked at Andrei with a solemn expression.

Lu Dazhu set his sights on Andrei, and the commanders of the two armies fought together. This situation is quite rare. After all, as the commander of the first army, if it is not necessary, as the commander of the first army, as the leader of the first army, he is more in control of the overall situation, rather than showing off his courage and easily fighting among the chaotic army.

Without the control of the two commanders, the soldiers on both sides who were fighting together were even more busy fighting. Both armies were elite and had extraordinary perseverance. Under ordinary circumstances, if an ordinary army could withstand one or two percent of the war damage, it would be extremely likely to flee.

However, these two teams cannot be compared with ordinary teams. They can be said to be the strongest and most elite teams in the world. They are currently fighting and are not affected by the damage to the war.

With a muffled groan, Andrei flew backwards. The moment he landed, he took a few steps back, leaving several deep footprints on the ground, and knocked away several soldiers.

Compared to Andre completely removing the force that invaded his body, the soldiers who were knocked out by Andre were really wronged.

His face turned a little jealous. Andrei forced the blood that surged into his throat, his body swayed slightly, and he stared at Lu Dazhu standing in front of him holding a spear.

Compared to Andrei, Lu Dazhu's situation was obviously better than Andrei. After all, Lu Dazhu's strength was much stronger than Andrei. If Andrei hadn't been willing to fight to the death, Andrei might have been stabbed to death by Lu Dazhu's search for an aircraft.

"withdraw!"

Andre is worthy of being the leader of a legion and has a very strong ability to control the situation. At this moment, with a silence, the messenger soon heard the trumpet sounding.

The low and thick horn sounded, and the soldiers on both sides who were immersed in the fight were stunned. The soldiers on the Grand Duchy of Moscow could naturally hear that the horn sounded actually ordered them to withdraw their troops.

How long has it been since they heard the horn of withdrawal? At least in the process of their external expansion, the horn of withdrawal has almost never sounded, but they never thought it would sound at this time.

For a moment, many soldiers showed doubts and subconsciously thought that they had heard it wrong, but after careful identification, it was indeed the sound of the retreat horn.

Suddenly, the army was in chaos, but it was rare that it did not collapse. It resisted and retreated. After leaving behind a messy corpse, the hero finally gave up some of the soldiers and successfully got rid of the entanglement with the Ming army.

Lu Dazhu was not in a hurry to chase Andrei and others. It was not that Lu Dazhu didn't want to chase him, but that this battle was quite shocking to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, there were many casualties in the battle, and even Lu Dazhu did not dare to chase after him easily.

It was just a battle of about one hour, and the number of casualties reached as many as 2,000. You should know that along the way, all the wars of all sizes and big and small had only suffered dozens of casualties, but about 2,000 people were killed or injured, but this battle fell by about 2,000 people.

Several generals looked at the casualties counted after spending about more than an hour, and looked at Lu Dazhu with a serious expression: "Master, what are these people's origins? They are so fierce, even more fierce than the Tatars. They can be said to be the most difficult army we have encountered along the way."

Lu Dazhu glanced at the generals around him and snorted coldly, "I asked you to send a sentry to inquire about the news. You are fine, you are all slandering each one. How about it? I met an opponent this time, and I didn't even know who suffered a loss."

The generals under his command knew very well. Just by hearing Lu Dazhu say this, everyone knew that Lu Dazhu was not angry.

A general said to Lu Dazhu with a slightly awkward smile: "Master, if you say so, you must know what these enemies are!"

In fact, when the fight first started, Lu Dazhu was really confused because he didn't know what these people were.

However, as the leader of the first army, Lu Dazhu had obviously more information than those generals. After all, the information found by the sentry detectives was first summarized by the Jinyiwei and the people from the East Factory, and then they selected important news to present it to Lu Dazhu for a visit.

Lu Dazhu knew about the news about the Grand Duchy of Moscow in this way, but when he was fighting just now, Lu Dazhu focused all his attention on the fight, and he never thought about what his opponent was.

But after calming down, Lu Dazhu had a little measure in his mind and understood what the enemy he encountered not long ago was.

While Lu Dazhu and others were talking about Andre and his group, they rushed all the way and pulled a distance of more than ten miles with the Ming army, Andre spit out a mouthful of blood and fell from the horse.

As the commander of the first army, Andre suddenly fell off his horse, which naturally scared the army. Several generals immediately stabilized the army and helped Andre up.

Andre, who had a pale face, slowly woke up, looked at the generals beside him with a bit of solemnity, and finally landed on Anthony, who was covered in blood.

"Anthony!"

Anthony hurriedly said to Andre: "General, how are you? That man actually hurt you so much!"

Andre took a long breath, was excited, staring at Anthony and said, "Anthony, I order you to go to Moscow as quickly as possible immediately. Report to Your Majesty, and say that we encountered the Ming army in the Ural Mountains. I hope Your Majesty can send a large army to come, otherwise the Ming army will march straight into the city of Moscow!"

Anthony and several generals next to him couldn't help but change their expressions when he heard this. He heard Anthony exclaiming: "What, these people are actually Ming people, aren't they fighting against the Portuguese and the Dutch?"

After all, the Grand Duchy of Moscow is now expanding everywhere, and it can be said to be a powerful Western power. It is impossible for us to know the news of the war between Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and other countries and the Ming Dynasty.

However, because of their identity, only a very small number of people in the upper class of the Grand Principal of Moscow were truly known.

As the leader of the legion, Andrey was of course qualified to know these things. He even saw the flag pattern of the Sun and Moon Flag of the Great Ming Dynasty in the news.

If it weren't for this, Andre wouldn't have recognized the identity of the army they fought with.

It was precisely because he noticed the identity of Lu Dazhu and the others that Andrei was so solemn, because behind the Ming Dynasty was an extremely powerful country. If the Grand Duchy of Moscow did not show the strongest posture, he would probably not be able to stop the Ming Dynasty's military attack.

Andrei endured his injuries and chose a mountain pass to set up a camp, but he actually wanted to stay and stop Lu Dazhu and his group and gain time for Moscow to send reinforcements.

Lu Dazhu's movement speed was not slow. In just one day, tens of thousands of troops appeared in Andre and others' sight again.

This time, Lu Dazhu was obviously ready. He not only sent people to capture local people within a radius of dozens of miles, but also had a very detailed understanding of Andre and the Grand Duchy of Moscow from these people.

The more I understood, the more interested Lu Dazhu became in such a country that gradually expanded from a small kingdom and occupied a vast territory.

With the intuition of the soldiers, Lu Dazhu realized that such a country with strong combat power and military combat power is not weaker than that of the Ming Dynasty, if he let it go, he would probably become a major concern of the Ming Dynasty in a few years.

Just as Lu Dazhu ordered a strong attack on the defensive position of the Third Legion, a team of messengers were rushing towards the capital.

Summer of the 19th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty

In the Forbidden City, in the imperial study room, Zhu Houzhao sat upright, and several cabinet masters looked at a quick report that was submitted in a hurry.

Zhu Houzhao, who was rosy in her complexion, looked at several cabinet masters, and raised her lips slightly toward Yang Yiqing and said, "Yang Aiqing, I wonder what you think of the military newspaper that Lu Aiqing sent to present?"

Rotating his beard, Yang Yiqing looked at Wang Yangming and other cabinet masters first, and saw Yang Yiqing step forward and politely said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I think this battle should be avoided, so I will avoid it. Apart from thousands of miles apart, I will send a hundred thousand troops in a foreign country that is thousands of miles away. If I win, it will be useless. Once I lose, it will definitely damage the majesty of Your Majesty's wise king..."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, her eyes narrowed to Wang Yangming and said, "Wang Aiqing, I wonder if you have any opinions?"

For a moment, several cabinet masters looked at Wang Yangming. Facing the eyes of several cabinet masters, Wang Yangming was not affected at all. Instead, he said to Zhu Houzhao with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, I believe in General Lu's judgment. This battle must be fought. If a 100,000 army is not enough, then we will dispatch 200,000, otherwise raising a tiger will cause trouble in the future..."

Yang Yiqing couldn't help but frown and said, "Mr. Wang, that's a 100,000 army. The most important thing is that it's thousands of miles apart. Have you considered how much it will cost to deploy a 100,000 army to thousands of miles away?"
