Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After setting up camp outside Moscow, Li Ding urgently discussed countermeasures in order to capture Moscow before Tsarist Russia's reinforcements from the western front returned.  Staff officer Wu Ying pointed to the map and said: "General, generals, please take a look. To the northwest of Moscow, in the middle of the Eastern European Plain, is the strategic military city of Smolensk. Whoever controls this city will have the strategic initiative to gain access to the entire Eastern European Plain.  Therefore, the city of Smolensk was once the focus of competition between Tsarist Russia and the Persian Empire. Since Smolensk was controlled by Poland, Tsarist Russia was unable to defend it, and Moscow was under great threat and could only defend it with heavy troops.  This time we attack Moscow, the Tsar will definitely send troops from the Western Front to return reinforcements. It is 800 miles from Smolensk to Kosko. If the army returns to reinforcements, it will take about four to five days if the speed is fast. In other words, we have four  Attack Moscow in five days. "This time is too tight. After all, Moscow is the capital of Tsarist Russia. The city has strong defenses and there are tens of thousands of troops in the city. It is very difficult to capture this city in a few days!  General Li Wei said: "I don't think we need to be too nervous. Poland and Tsarist Russia are feuding. Tsarist Russia wants to withdraw its troops from the Western Front and return reinforcements. Poland will definitely not just watch and do nothing. Therefore, I think Tsarist Russia can even withdraw troops from the Western Front."  , it is impossible to mobilize too many, they have to prevent the Poles from attacking. " Wu Ying continued: "According to the information we have, Tsarist Russia has 60,000 troops on the northern front, from Pskov to Novo.  There are still more than 20,000 troops on the Vgorod front line, which are used to defend the Swedes. Firstly, the northern front is far away, and secondly, the number of troops is small, so the possibility of redeployment is relatively small. However, the 60,000-strong army on the western front needs to be redeployed.  It¡¯s not a problem to send 10,000 to 20,000 troops back to Moscow.¡± Als thought for a moment and said, ¡°General, let¡¯s besiege the city again. The soldiers and horses drawn from the Western Front will be very anxious.  In case of emergency, there will inevitably be many loopholes. Ask the general to give the general 10,000 troops, and the general will wait for an opportunity to ambush the slow army on the western front. Once the foreign aid is cut off, the defenders in Moscow will be even more panicked, and they will be captured by then.  This city is not difficult. " Li Ding said: "Don't forget that Moscow is the capital of Tsarist Russia. For Tsarist Russia, it can be lost anywhere, but Moscow must not be lost now.  In the city, they will definitely fight to the death and mobilize their troops to come back for reinforcements. Moreover, it may not be easy to ambush the enemy's reinforcements. The enemy will not be unaware of this. " "General, what should we do?"  "Let Bater and Li Long not have to break camp, but leave 500 men and horses each to pretend to be a large army and continue to monitor the cities of Zatula and Ryazan. They will cover the city at night and quietly move westward. Be careful to hide their whereabouts along the way  "General, isn't this too risky! Tula City and Ryazan City are like two gates, sealing our rear. Once the siege is withdrawn, we may be attacked from behind at any time." "I have thought about it.  Don't worry too much. The combined strength of Tula City and Ryazan City is only 2,000 Russian troops. If they dare to invade the city, we can dispatch another 5,000 soldiers and horses, which will be enough to destroy them.  Hundreds of men and horses. Enough to monitor them and keep track of their whereabouts." When he arrived at the gate of Moscow, Li Ding immediately felt that his troops were stretched thin, and he really didn't want to let Tula City and Ryazan City contain his tens of thousands of troops.  Evacuation plan.  After withdrawing from the siege, the 10,000-strong army concealed its whereabouts and quickly turned westward. The purpose was already obvious. It was naturally to target the troops returning from Tsarist Russia's western front.  "Alsleng, I will give you another 4,000 troops. You are in the light, while Battelle and Li Long are in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to severely damage the Russian troops coming back from the Western Front, or at least hold them back." Li Wei said hesitantly: "  General, in this case, we only have 20,000 people left to attack Moscow. This force is too small. It may be difficult to attack Moscow." Li Ding said thoughtfully: "Under normal circumstances, even if there are 100,000 people.  The army can't even think of capturing Moscow a few days ago, so we can only think of other strategies to win by cleverness. "Everyone wants to use cleverness, but how can such a method be good?"  In fact, the situation in Moscow was not good. The Qin army came so fast that Moscow was not even mentally prepared.  Think about the way the Qin army came all the way, sweeping across the entire East and Siberia, destroying Kazakhs, and defeating the Osio army. One day ago, they captured the Tsaritsyn Fortress, which the Russians called "the fortress that will never fall."  The storm swept across the Don River plain like a sudden storm, destroying many cities. Wherever it passed, only ruins were left. It can be said that the murderous intent was overwhelming and horrifying.  Especially the two generals Berekov and Petukhov each led 5,000 troops to reinforce the cities of Tula and Ryazan. As soon as they met the Qin army, Berekov¡¯s 5,000 troopsRui was completely wiped out, and Petukhov abandoned his armor and fled back, which caused a huge shock to the city of Moscow. Rumors spread everywhere in the city, and some even said that all the Qin soldiers were murderers with three heads and six arms.  Even some noble families have quietly packed up their belongings and bribed the generals guarding the North Gate to flee Moscow quietly.  The morale of the army was also very turbulent. Tsar Alexei was busy boosting morale at the top of the city. Suddenly he heard the news that the powerful people were trying to escape quietly from the city. He couldn't help but became furious!  At this time, if these dignitaries are allowed to escape from the city, one by one, more people will escape in the end, and the city of Moscow will no longer need to be defended.  ¡°Just imagine, if the dignitaries have all run away, what will the people in the city think?  What would the ordinary soldiers guarding the city think?  Who wants to stay and wait to die?  Alexey sent troops out of the city with his guards, captured all the escaped dignitaries, and executed them in public without even asking.  The young tsar¡¯s original intention was to make a warning to others by executing these people.  Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with him doing this in extraordinary times, but the mistake is that he is too young and overestimates his abilities.  Before Alexei¡¯s father Mikhail Romanov became Tsar, Russia experienced a three-year ¡°interregnum¡±. During these three years, Russia had no king and was in great chaos.  Mikhail Romanov was not a prince, and he was able to ascend the throne not because of his civil or military skills, but because of the election of the All-Russian Gentry Congress.  To put it bluntly, Mikhail Romano was a puppet at first, and all power was in the hands of the great nobles. In 1619, Mikhail's father, Patriarch Filaret, was released by Poland and returned to Russia.  Since then, the scheming Patriarch Filaret has gradually gained real power and squeezed the power of the great nobles out of the decision-making center. However, even he only dared to go so far and did not dare to cleanse the nobles.  In 1633, Patriarch Filaret died of illness.  Moscow's great aristocrats made a comeback and once again took control of actual power.  Tsar Mikhail did not fight this, but gave up his power with a calm and detached attitude.  After Alexey ascended the throne, he reused Patriarch Nikon, and wanted to learn from his grandfather, who used religious power to gradually control power. However, he had not been on the throne for a long time, and the aristocratic power was deeply rooted, so he could not easily remove it.  A few days ago, he resolutely decided to go on a personal expedition. In fact, he wanted to increase his prestige and control the army in his own hands.  This move was opposed by almost all ministers. The two sides argued endlessly and wasted most of the precious time. This was actually the result of the struggle between the tsar and the nobles for real power.  Alexei blatantly executed seven or eight nobles without going through parliament or even any form of ruling. This move caused great shock to other nobles in the city.  To them, Alexei should be a puppet.  Now, Alexey actually did something that even his grandfather did not dare to do, and attacked the nobles brazenly.  If he is allowed to take real power in Russia, there will definitely be a purge of the nobles in the city.  To the big nobles in the city, Alexey's threat was no less than that of the Qin army outside the city.  So, an ulterior conspiracy quietly began!  ********************** ps: Bow and thank grandma for this request.
