A few days later, on the west bank of the Volga, there were many camps and villages. Looking at the past from the top of Fort Mingwei, the rear road of the Tsarist army was full of grain and grass materials. Looking at it like this, it's a huge momentum. If it is a normal battle between the two armies, the impact on the morale of both sides is absolutely not small.

However, the Ming army's side, as Racine thought, was irrigated with victory, and how could it be so easy to be frightened by the enemy's momentum.

Coupled with the Ming army's side, I originally thought that it was the headquarters led by the governor, but I didn't expect that after arriving at Mingwei Fort, there would be a special department of Turghut here, and the strength increased greatly. Because, on the side of the Ming army, up and down, they are all very confident.

On this day, there were nights from the north without receiving returns. Finally, the Russian army, which had made a detour to the upper reaches of the Volga River, had moved south and was about to approach the side of Mingweibao.

The Russian army on the other side of the Volga, of course, also saw the advance of the Cossack cavalry. Immediately, they all cheered.

When Tsar Alexei heard the sound and saw it, he also beat drums and gathered his generals, and his troops and horses were on the banks of the Volga River, posing in a posture, as if he wanted to cooperate with the Cossack army to attack from the shallows.

The battlefield of Fort Mingwei, which had been facing each other for several days and seemed a little calm, suddenly became tense.

………………

The Cossack army marched forward, and at the side of the commander-in-chief Bogdan Khmelnitsky, one of the generals looked at Khmelnitsky's silhouette for a long time, and then stopped.

Khmelnitsky soon found out about this, turned to the general and asked: "Racin, is there something wrong with you?" ”

When Racine heard this, he did not hesitate any longer, and replied to him: "The army we crossed the river has a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, but the Ming army has at least 100,000 on this side. With such a gap in strength, I don't know what the commander's good strategy is? ”

When Khmelnitsky heard this, he frowned and said: "What good strategy is needed, it is nothing more than waiting for the opportunity to move, and not to confront the Ming army!" ”

Razin listened, glanced at the surrounding generals, and then asked Khmelnitsky again: "This battle is not easy to fight, and the Cossacks everywhere, except for those in Moscow, have almost arrived here." If there is any problem, it will be a catastrophe for our Cossacks! ”

Hearing this, Khmelnitsky was immediately displeased, and immediately asked: "What do you mean?" Scared? ”

"It's not!" When Razin heard this, he quickly denied it, "I'm just thinking about our Cossack clan!" ”

Khmelnitsky heard a "hum" when he heard it, and then said coldly: "Your Majesty has a heavy army on the west bank, and if the main force of the Ming army dares to move, Your Majesty will definitely attack it with a large army." How much danger can we have in this way against our army? ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to see that the other generals did not agree with his opinion, and frowned, so he added: "Besides, how can there be immortals in war!" But as long as we finally defeat the Ming army, Your Majesty will certainly look the other way at our Cossacks. We, the Cossacks, will surely have a good life in the future! ”

Hearing this, Racin couldn't help but ask: "Does the commander think that as long as we win this battle, we will be like the Cossacks in Moscow in the future?" ”

As he said this, he also glanced in the direction where the Russian army on the west bank was located.

Khmelnitsky listened, and nodded as a matter of course.

Seeing him like this, Racine stopped talking. In his heart, he was already completely disappointed in Khmelnitsky. Even if he was bent on fighting the Ming army, the strength of the Ming army was there, and the army that crossed the river would definitely suffer heavy losses.

This is also the reason why the Tsar did not send his descendants, but sent them over these ragtags. It's just a pity that Khmelnitsky could not see this. Or rather, he saw it, but he ignored it.

That being the case, Racine doesn't have any guilt left.

…………

The Ming army at Mingweibao finally moved, and a cavalry army of more than 30,000 people went north to meet it. Judging from the clothing, more than half of them should be from the Turk tribe. Because these people have not yet received reorganization, and they do not have so many military uniforms.

At this time, the center of gravity of the war was obviously the east bank of the Volga River. Seeing the reaction of the Ming army, Khmelnitsky also immediately began to transfer troops to see if there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and if not, he would withdraw, giving full play to the tactics that their Cossacks were good at dealing with the enemy.

And on the west bank of the Volga, the Tsarist Russian army was also shouting and cheering there. Of course, they can only do this for the war that is about to begin. Unless the main force of the Ming army on the side of Mingweibao fights, they will attack from the shallows.

The only one who can judge this and make a decision is, of course, Tsar Alexei. At this time, he was on the west bank of the Volga River, paying close attention to the situation on the other side.

As the Ming army on the opposite side got closer and closer to the Cossack army, but the Ming army on the side of Samararaburg still had no follow-up movement, Alexei knew that there would be no follow-up Ming army in eight or nine times out of ten.

Knowing this, he turned his attention to the battlefield where the battle was about to be fought. In terms of troops, the combined forces of the Cossacks and other tribes are about 50,000 in total, while the Ming army facing the battle is only more than 30,000, many of which should be the servant army of the Turghut Department.

Judging from the distance between the battlefield where the battle is about to start and the Samara Fort, the Ming army has not yet sent a follow-up force, so the Cossack army has enough time to fight fiercely and clean up the Ming army that is facing the battle.

For this situation, Alexei is very happy to see. However, he also didn't understand a little, it stands to reason that the commander of the Ming State can't see that the troops he sent are far less than his opponents, right? So why did he send such an army? Did he think that with this army alone he could win an army of 50,000 Cossacks? Didn't he know that the Cossacks had always been known for their bravery and good warfare?

If it is said that among the 30,000 Ming cavalry troops who went to war, all of them were their own army, and there was no army of the Turghut army, Alexei felt that this was really possible. But the combat power of the Turgunt Division, he still knows that it is definitely not strong.

With this in mind, Alexei came to a conclusion. The only explanation is that the commander of the Ming army came from the east, and did not know that the Cossack troops, even if they were not elite, could make up for it with their courage and skill. It seems that this battle has been won by my side, which is a good start!

Thinking so, after so many days, Alexei finally showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time.

On his side, there are many people who think the same as him, and they get the judgment that the Ming army will be defeated, even if the Ming army is a cavalry army, and they can run away after suffering losses, but as long as they are defeated, it will be the first battle to win, which is definitely a morale-boosting move.

In their optimism, the noise of cheering is getting louder and louder.

Finally, on the other side, the two armies met together.

The Ming army didn't know if it was a head cramp, so without making any adjustments, it directly used the cavalry of the Ming headquarters as the spearhead, increased the speed of the horse, and directly crashed into the position where the Cossack commander was located.

Seeing this, many Tsarist leaders in the west bank couldn't help but point out the battlefield, saying that as long as Khmelnitsky held his own position, and then transferred the flank troops to attack the middle of the Ming army, then the battle would be won.

For their discussion, Alexei saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. He then turned his attention to the Samara Fort on the other side. Because if the Ming army over there is defeated, this side is likely to be forced to send troops to respond, so that the defense line on the side of Samara Fort will definitely be weakened, I wonder if there will be an opportunity to attack? If the Ming army in Samara Fort can be defeated in such a battle, it will be a blessing for Tsarist Russia!

"Soon, soon, the Ming army will immediately storm the Khmelnitsky formation!"

"Quickly adjust the flanks, it should be a lesson for the Ming army!"

"Hey, why don't you move, what is that Khmelnitsky doing to eat, what's the matter with not mobilizing men and horses, do you want to let this formation suffer more casualties, and leave all the Ming troops behind?"

"What's going on, it seems a little wrong!"

"What's going on here? The left flank of the Cossack army, how did it mess up on its own? ”

"Hey, the Ming cavalry is so powerful, it is unstoppable, and it has entered the Khmelnitsky formation!"

"Crazy? Or am I dazzled, why did the Cossack army fight on its own? ”

"Oh no, the Cossack army is going to be defeated!"

“……”

Alexei, who was originally observing the movement of Samararaburg on the other side, was taken aback when he heard the sound of discussion on the side, which seemed to be getting more and more unfavorable, and quickly shifted the direction of the telescope and looked at the battlefield that was already fighting.

It's okay not to look at it, but when he looks at it, his face suddenly turns pale, and he really can't believe what he sees.

On that battlefield, Khmelnitsky's banner had fallen, and the charging Ming army was about to pierce through the Cossack army. At the same time, on the left flank of the Cossack army, there was also a mess, and the Cossacks turned out to be their own people to fight their own people!

What the hell is going on?

Alexei couldn't help but cry out in his heart, and suddenly, he saw that some of the Cossacks in a mess had a white strap tied to their left arm. Seeing this, he suddenly understood that those people were the internal response of the Ming army, and suddenly, they rebelled in battle, so there was such a result.

Knowing this, Alexei didn't even bother to tell where the Cossacks rebelled, so he just felt a pain in his heart, shouted "God will kill me", "poof", and fell off his horse.
