After setting up camp outside Moscow, Li Ding urgently discussed countermeasures, hoping to capture Moscow before the reinforcements of the western front of Tsarist Russia returned. I'll tell you that the fastest update of the novel is the eye. Hurry?

Staff officer Wu Ying pointed to the map and said: "General, generals, please see, northwest of Moscow, in the middle of the Eastern European Plain, is the important military and strategic town of Smolensk.

Whoever controls the city will have the strategic initiative to gain the entire Eastern European Plain. Therefore, the city of Smolensk was the focus of contention between Tsarist Russia and the Persian Empire.

Since Smolensk was under Polish control, Tsarist Russia had no danger to defend, and Moscow was under great threat and could only be defended with heavy troops.

This time we attack Moscow, the tsar will definitely draw troops from the Western Front to send reinforcements, from Smolensk to Kosco 800 miles, the army will come back, if the speed is fast, it will take about four to five days, that is, we have four to five days to attack Moscow. ”

This time is too tight, after all, Moscow is the capital of Tsarist Russia, the city is strong, and there are tens of thousands of troops in the city, it is difficult to capture the 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 troops from the Western Front to help, Poland is definitely not watching no action." Therefore, I think that even if Tsarist Russia draws troops from the Western Front, it is impossible to draw too much, and they will have to prevent the Poles from taking advantage of the situation. ”

Wu Ying continued: "According to the information we have, Tsarist Russia has 60,000 troops on the northern front, and more than 20,000 troops on the line from Pskov to Novgorod in the north, which is used to defend against the Swedes. The northern front is far away, and the number of troops is small, so the possibility of transfer is relatively small, and the 60,000 troops on the western front are still not a problem to send 10,000 or 20,000 to support Moscow. ”

Ars was stunned for a moment and said, "General, why don't we besiege the city again and send reinforcements." Moscow is besieged, and the troops and horses drawn from the Western Front must be very anxious, and this urgency will inevitably have many flaws.

Ask the general to give the last general 10,000 troops, and the last general will wait for the opportunity to ambush the slow army on the Western Front. Once the foreign aid is cut off. The defenders of Moscow must have been even more panicked, and it would not be difficult to take the city when the time came. ”

Li Ding said: "Don't forget that Moscow is the capital of Tsarist Russia. For Tsarist Russia, everything can be lost, and Moscow must not lose. Now that the tsar and the magnates are trapped in the city, they will definitely fight to the death and mobilize troops and horses to help them back. Moreover, it may not be easy to ambush the enemy's reinforcements now, and the enemy will not be unguarded at this point. ”

"General, what then?"

"Let Batel and Li Long not have to pull out the camp, leave 500 men and horses each to pretend to be a large army, and continue to monitor the withdrawal of Tula City and Ryazan City, while they take cover at night and quietly turn to the west to fight, and pay attention to hiding their whereabouts along the way"

"General, isn't this too risky! The cities of Tula and Ryazan are like two gates. Seal off our rear, and once we are out of the way, we may be attacked from behind at any time. ”

"I've thought about it, don't worry too much, the cities of Tula and Ryazan add up to only 2,000 Russian troops, and they can still support the city for a while, if they dare to go out of the city to attack, we will transfer another 5,000 soldiers and horses, which is enough to destroy them. Leave 500 men and horses, enough to keep an eye on them. Keep track of their whereabouts. ”

When he arrived at the city of Moscow, Li Ding immediately felt that his troops were overstretched, and he really did not want to let Tula and Ryazan contain his tens of thousands of troops, so he had the intention of withdrawing from the siege.

After the withdrawal of the siege, the 10,000-strong army disguised its whereabouts. Quickly turning westward, the purpose was already obvious, and it was naturally aimed at the army that had returned from the western front of Tsarist Russia.

"Arslen, Ben will give you another 4,000 men, you are in the light, and Battle and Li Long are in the dark. The Russian troops who are waiting for an opportunity to reinforce on the Western Front must at least hold them back. ”

Li Wei said hesitantly: "General, in this way, we only have about 20,000 people left to attack Moscow, and this force is too small, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack it." ”

Li Ding pondered and said: "Under normal circumstances, even if there are 100,000 troops, don't think about capturing Moscow a few days ago, so we can only think of other strategies to win by skill." ”

Everyone wants to take advantage of it, but how can such a solution be easy to think of?

In the city of Moscow, in fact, the situation is not good, the Qin army came too fast, and Moscow was not even mentally prepared.

Think about it again, the Qin army came all the way, swept through the entire East and Siberia, destroyed the Kazakhs, defeated the Osao army, captured the Tsaritsyn fortress that the Russians called "the fortress that never falls" a day ago, and then swept across the Don River plain like a storm, breaking many cities in a row, and where it passed, only a ruin remained, which can be described as murderous and appalling.

In particular, the two generals of Berekov and Petukhov each brought 5,000 men and horses to reinforce the city of Tula and Ryazan, as soon as they met with the Qin army, Berekov's 5,000 elites were completely annihilated, and Petukhov lost his armor and fled back, which caused a huge shock to the city of Moscow, rumors spread in the city, and some even said that the Qin army was a three-headed and six-armed murderer.

Even some aristocratic families have quietly packed up their finesse and bribed the generals guarding the north gate to quietly flee Moscow.

The morale of the army was also very turbulent, and Tsar Alexei was busy boosting morale at the head of the city, when he suddenly heard the news that the powerful were going to quietly flee from the city, and he couldn't help but be furious!

At this time, if these magnates are allowed to flee from the city, one by one, and there are many people who flee in the end, the city of Moscow will not have to be defended.

Just imagine, if the powerful have all gone, what will the people in the city think? What would the ordinary soldiers defending the city think? Who wants to stay and die?

Alexei sent troops out of the city with his guards, captured several powerful people who had fled, and executed them in public without even asking.

The young Tsar's intention was to make an example of these people by executing them.

It stands to reason that in extraordinary times, there is nothing wrong with him doing this, but the fault is that he is too young and overestimates his ability.

In Alexei's father, Mikhail. Before Romanov became Tsar, Russia experienced a three-year "interregnum", during which Russia had no king and was very chaotic.

Mikhail. Romanov was not a prince, and he was able to ascend the throne not because of his civil and military prowess, but because of the election of the All-Russian Gentry Congress.

To put it bluntly, at first Mikhail . Romano was a puppet, and all power was in the hands of the great nobles, and in 1619, Mikhail's father, Patriarch Filaret, was released by Poland and returned to Russia.

Since then, the scheming Patriarch Filaret has gradually grasped real power and squeezed the strength of the great nobles out of the decision-making center, but even he only dares to do this, and does not dare to purge the nobles.

In 1633, Patriarch Filaret died of illness. The great nobility of Moscow made a comeback and once again seized real power. Tsar Mikhail did not fight against this, but relinquished power in his hands with a detached attitude of calming things down.

After Alexei ascended the throne, he reused the patriarch Nikon, and wanted to follow his grandfather's example, using religious power to gradually control power, but he did not ascend the throne for a long time, and the aristocratic power was deep-rooted, which he could easily uproot.

A few days ago, he resolutely decided to take the army in person, in fact, he wanted to increase his prestige and at the same time control the army in his own hands.

This move was opposed by almost all the ministers, and the two sides quarreled endlessly, wasting most of the precious time in vain, which was actually the result of the struggle between the tsar and the nobles for real power.

Alexei's brazen execution of seven or eight nobles without going through parliament, or even without any form of ruling, caused great consternation among the other nobles in the city.

For them, Alexei should be a puppet.

Now, Alexei has done something that even his grandfather did not dare to do, and he has blatantly attacked the nobles. If he were to take real power in Russia, he would definitely carry out a purge of the nobles in the city.

For the big nobles in the city, Alexei was no less threatening than the Qin army outside the city.

So, an ulterior conspiracy quietly began!
