Chapter 1162: Night on the outskirts of Moscow

The night was dark, the stars and the moon were dim, and the nightingales on the outskirts of Moscow were singing, making the night even more lonely.

At the second watch, the south gate of Moscow was quietly opened, and the drawbridge was lowered in a row, and first a group of cavalry went out of the city, followed by large carts, with 400 vehicles in front and behind, all full of gold and silver treasures. As many as 50,000 young women were escorted along.

The whole team took a shift to finish out of the city. Nearly 40,000 cavalry of the Qin army, divided into front and back, left and right, closely guarding the convoy and women in the middle, hurriedly withdrew south.

In the small town of Vero, thirty miles north of Moscow, General Navijack, the commander of the Swedish army, suddenly received news in the middle of the night that the Qin army had abandoned Moscow and withdrawn south.

After further confirming the veracity of this news, General Navijak did not have time to hesitate and immediately ordered the army to rush towards the city of Moscow as quickly as possible.

To the west of Moscow, there were still 60,000 Polish troops eyeing the city, and now the Qin army withdrew by night, leaving an empty city. Once the Poles preemptively capture Moscow, the situation will become very passive for Navijack.

Shortly after General Navijack set out with his army, he received a report from the scouts, and the Poles' army began to move and was marching towards Moscow.

Feeling pressed for time, Navijack shouted at his soldiers, "Hurry up! Hurry up! Preemptively occupy Moscow, victory will be ours, hurry! ”

Under his constant urging, the 20,000 Swedish army galloped through the night. The sound of hooves rumbled, deafening, and they raced against time to rush towards the city of Moscow. Due to poor sight, many soldiers lost their horses, fell or fell to their deaths, and these were not taken care of.

All the way non-stop, when General Navijack led a large army to the city of Moscow, the clouds cracked in the sky, and a bleak moonlight shone obliquely. The open gates. It is like the bloody mouth of a great beast, and there are no lights in the city. It's as silent as a dead city.

"Report!"

"General, the Polish army is still fifteen miles from the city!"

"Quick, get into town! Grab the gates and get into the city! ”

There was no time for Navijack to hesitate. He had only 20,000 horses, while the Poles had as many as 60,000, and they suffered a great loss in terms of troops. If, out of indecision, the Poles are allowed to seize Moscow, he will probably become the laughing stock of all Europe.

"Horek! You take 5,000 men and horses and go to drag the Polish army, quickly! ”

"Yes, General!"

Navijack then ordered the army to storm the city, which was dead silent. Broken by the sound of horses' hooves and cheers from the Swedes, countless soldiers galloped through the street with torches;

After Vivijack entered the city, something was vaguely wrong. I often walked inside, and found that more and more streets were pushing a large amount of furniture and firewood, and I hit the houses connected to the street, and found that there were also a lot of dry firewood pushing wood inside.

Before he could figure out the situation, all of a sudden, the earth shook violently. An earth-shattering explosion shook people's ear drums. Some of the beams were even knocked down by the shock.

"What's going on? What's going on? ”

Navijack roared, rushed to the relatively spacious street to take a look, and found that the most violent explosion came from the Kremlin, the 81-meter-high white gold-roofed Ivan the Great bell tower, the spectacular multi-sided palace, all collapsed in the sound of the explosion, the fire rose into the sky, and it was engulfing the entire Kremlin.

In addition, there were hundreds of explosion points and ignition points throughout the city of Moscow, many Swedish soldiers were blown into the air, turning into pieces of minced meat, and nearly 100 other ignition points were scattered all over the city, and the flames were strung together at an alarming speed, and General Navijack was sure that it must have been drenched with fire oil or other flammable materials to make the fire burn so quickly.

"It's a trap, the whole city of Moscow is a huge trap, get out of here! Evacuate! ”

General Navijak shouted hysterically, instigated his horses, and rushed towards the north gate, and countless Swedish soldiers were forced by the fire, panicked, crowded, horses squeezed horses, roared, screamed, and jumped towards the north gate.

The wind fuels the fire, the fire helps the wind, the fire soars into the sky, illuminates the night sky, hundreds of fire points spread the vocal cords, and the churning flames ignite one house after another;

The wood and firewood piled up in the house made the fire more and more alarming, the flames more than ten meters high rolled with the wind, the heat wave rolled, the Swedish soldiers who rushed into the city at night, in the panic, many people could not even distinguish the direction, they were trapped inside, the fire spread from all sides, and there was no escape.

General Navijack's beard and hair were rolled up by the fire, and he hurried out of the north gate, looking back at the burning city of Moscow, he really wanted to cry without tears, and there were many soldiers under him who did not escape, trapped in the sea of fire, the war horses screamed, and the human voices screamed, like a terrible ghost trapped in purgatory, and people were terrified.

At this moment of confusion, the rumbling of horses' hooves was heard again in the southern suburbs of Moscow, and a sea of torches flew by, and General Navijack now felt inexplicable palpitations at the sight of fire.

"Report!"

"General, the people from the south are from the Qin State, and they are the army of the Qin State!"

"Retreat!" This is the order of General Navijack, as far as the current situation is concerned, this may also be his only choice, the city is ambushed, many soldiers are caught in the fire, and the people who escaped by luck are in shock, at this time, how can they immediately enter the battle.

Tens of thousands of Swedish soldiers fled north in a chaotic manner, and thousands of Qin troops followed closely behind, chasing and fighting fiercely. The Swedes had fled ten miles before suddenly there was an ambush in front of them, and the shouts of the Poles were like a tidal wave, and the torches were in patches.

Navikje couldn't help but secretly scream that it was over, it was really over, the Swedes, who were already being chased by the Qin army, saw that there were ambushes on the road ahead, and they were immediately frightened and fled, and the wolves rushed in the night.

Poland and Sweden are old enemies, Sweden has invaded Poland many times, aggressive, now the opportunity for revenge has come, the Poles are using their strength to chase and beat the Swedes.

Seeing that the Poles were working so hard, Arslen immediately retreated to the southern suburbs of Moscow with his 5,000 Qin troops.

After a night of pursuit, the 20,000 Swedish army was either annihilated or scattered. Governor Goshesky was so excited that he sent 20,000 men to the north to seize the Baltic coast and further expand the victory.

The only thing that is good is that the fire in Moscow is still burning, the black smoke covers the sun, the Kremlin is destroyed, the entire Moscow city is destroyed, and when the fire dies down, it will be good to have the surrounding walls left.

Even so, Alexander. Gauces could not hide the joy in his heart, because most of the entire European territory of Tsarist Russia became Polish.

And by the way, it dealt a heavy blow to Sweden, a strong enemy. Sweden was sparsely populated, and the threat to Poland would be greatly reduced by this campaign. This pair of Alexander. For Gauces, it's definitely a great credit.

However, what worried him was that Li Ding only let half of the men and horses escort the gold and silver treasures and tens of thousands of young women to retreat to the Tsarizin fortress, while the remaining 20,000 troops stayed. It was stationed in the south of Moscow.

Alexander. Gauces thought of the pie in the sky again, the previous agreement was just the words of a staff officer of the Qin army, and the so-called empty words were unfounded, and Li Ding could completely deny this matter.

Think about it, the entire Don Plain and Moscow were defeated by the Qin army, and they were given to Poland for nothing, who would believe it?

Alexander, who was not at ease, hurriedly sent his most relied on clerk, Arthur Nalon, to Li Ding's camp to finalize the matter.

Facing Arthur Nalon, who was suffering from gains and losses, Li Ding said quietly: "The Don Plain, Moscow was defeated by our army, and it also helped your country hit the old enemy Sweden hard. Now, let's give up this large piece of land for nothing, of course. ”

Arthur Nalong was taken aback and said urgently: "Your Excellency, General, but when your envoy arrived at our barracks, didn't he already say it?" ”

"I'm very sorry that he didn't convey my general's words clearly. It is impossible to give such a large piece of land for free, but if it is given to Poland as a dowry, it is negotiable. ”

"Dowry?"

"General Ben heard that the princess Isabena of your country is fifteen years old and beautiful and elegant, and I, Great Qin, am willing to use the entire Don River Plain as a dowry and salute Princess Isabena of your country as the imperial concubine of Great Qin."
