Roleplay:Battle of Kiev (1722)

This is a record of the Battle of Kiev in 1722. It was between England and Russia, and Spain.

Warning
On May 12, 1722, King Carlos Clemente sent out a message to all monarchs:

''My fellow Monarchs, On the day of My 12, 1722, my forces will attack the city of ____. It's ruler, ________ _________ is, in my opinion, a tyrant, and needs to be dealt with properly. You will all no of the attack once it has started, and I encourage supporters of ______ to stay away from this battle. Yours truly, King Carlos Clemente of Spain ''

Many were confused by this. Only two monarchs did not dismiss this so easily: King Breasly of England, and King Bluehawk of France.

The First Attack
Early in the morning of May 13, 1722, Spain's forces reached St. Petersburg. The citizens had not been expecting an attack, so when it came, many of them were killed.

Spain's advance guard led the way, killing anyone in sight. Once they took the basilica, most morale was lost. The remaining defenders were slaughtered, or imprisoned.

Spain Takes Kiev!
While English forces were on the way, Spain advanced. They sent out their top grenadier units, which destroyed most of the outer city. Carlos Clemente himself was commanding forces frmo the safety of St. Petersburg.
