Yekaterina stood on the majestic walls of Smolensk, still graceful, but there was a little worry between her eyebrows and eyes.

Before the cold winter comes, it is too difficult to defend Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Smolensk is the gateway to the west of Moscow. Once Smolensk is captured, Moscow will be threatened.

As for St. Petersburg, he was attacked by the Swedish king and the Grand Duke of Lithuania.

The Crusaders wanted to divide the territory of the Tsarist Russian Empire.

"Damn it, why has the cold winter not arrived yet?"

Ekaterina punched the ancient city wall, and she had no confidence to defend Smolensk before the cold winter came.

"Dmitry (the hero of the Don River in the 14th century, the Grand Duke of Moscow, rebelled against the Jin Horde), you lead 150,000 troops to defend the crossing point fifty miles east of the city, to prevent the German knights from attacking sideways and cut off our way to Moscow."

Ekaterina has been fighting for more than 20 years and has a clear understanding of the situation. She knows that Smolensk is not easy to defend, so she reserves a way out for herself.

What I worry most is not the defeat. After the defeat, you can retreat to Moscow and St. Petersburg and continue to stick to it.

If the entire army is wiped out, then the worst case is.

"Your Majesty, the army of the Holy Roman Empire has arrived about thirty miles southeast to engage in contact with the Cossack cavalry!"

Ekaterina had just sent Dmitry, the Holy Roman Empire army, and was only thirty miles away from the city of Smolensk!

Sofia said: "The barracks of cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg are constantly changing their positions into various types of troops. If winter comes, they can get millions of soldiers."

"Persist in the winter, and I believe it will work every now and then."

"yes."

In the southeast of Smolensk, an endless army of the Holy Roman Empire appeared, and the battle flags of the Teutonic Knights were rushing, and special troops such as black-shirted knights and two-handed swordsmen were endless and murderous.

Yermark, the leader of the Cossack cavalry, who was conducting reconnaissance nearby, was attacked by a team of German knights. After a period of battle, Yermark lost to Smolensk and retreated.

"Be careful, don't pursue it deeply."
