When the site was originally selected to expand Mingwei Fort, Hong Chengchou calculated that he wanted to give the Tsarist army from the east a headache about how to attack Mingwei Fort.

Moreover, Hong Chengchou also knew that since Tsarist Russia was at war with Poland, even if he could lead a large army to fight Mingweibao, his future road would definitely be unstable.

Even if Tsarist Russia was forced to sign an agreement with Poland, if there was a chance, it could inflict a heavy blow on the mortal enemy, and Hong Chengchou believed that even if the agreement was torn up, there would be nothing to make a fuss about.

Therefore, with Hong Chengchou's experience as an official for so many years, he immediately saw the weakness of the upcoming Tsarist Russian army and made targeted deployments.

At this time, listening to Punchuk's obvious words with a little sycophancy, he just smiled slightly: That's right, a favorable situation has been created, and with Racine as the internal response, this battle has not yet been fought, and the chances of winning are already very good.

"Whether this battle can be won easily, the Khan's side is also the key!" Hong Chengchou is a person who can be a man, so he does not show that kind of lofty posture, even if he is the biggest official of the Ming Dynasty here, and the power to make a decision is the same way.

Calling Punchuck the Great Khan made Punchuck feel very comfortable, even if he shirked it several times, and wanted to call himself a subordinate of Hong Chengchou, he finally had to accept the title of Lord Governor.

According to Hong Chengchou, it is said that Punchuk's side has not received the will of the Ming Emperor, so he is still the Great Khan. In the future, if nothing else, Punchuck will become the prince or marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and his status is also noble.

These words all made Punchuck's mood very happy, and correspondingly, he did not spare his words, and slapped the Governor's ass when he had the opportunity. They are also happy with each other.

After a while, Punchuck still behaved positively, and clenched his fists to Hong Chengchou and asked: "Lord Governor, why don't you lead the army to the north and block the possibility of the Tsarist army crossing east?" ”

Although Hong Chengchou called him the Great Khan, he himself still had to be humble, and he couldn't really pretend to be the Great Khan, which was conscious, and he still had it after so many years of being the Great Khan.

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou shook his head and said with a smile: "Just let them cross the river, after coming to the side of Mingwei Fort, in front of the enemy on the opposite side, defeat the enemy who crosses the river, and it should be able to deal a heavy blow to the enemy's morale." The Battle of Mingweiburg is almost over! ”

Hong Chengchou's goal was not to annihilate the invading Tsarist Russian army, but to gain a firm foothold in Mingweibao. On this basis, it is best to win more, and so far, there is no problem.

After thinking about it, Punchuck slapped it again, and said with that surprised and happy expression: "What the Governor said is very true, and when he talked and laughed, he held the odds in his hands, and the general was convinced!" ”

Hong Chengchou listened, smiled slightly, and responded, and then raised his binoculars and continued to observe the enemy on the other side.

Of course, although it was to allow the enemy to cross the river, the necessary precautions were still required, and they had already been released if they didn't collect it at night.

On the other side of the Volga River, except for a part of the Tsarist Russian army who was vigilant by the river, the rest of the horses were all shouting and neighing, camping and camping, and going out, so it was not lively.

After watching it for a while, Hong Chengchou secretly said in his heart, let you be lively for a while.

Then, he put away the binoculars, and when he was about to return to the governor's palace, suddenly there was a movement behind him, and a subordinate came to say, "Your Excellency, reinforcements and supplies have arrived again." ”

Before, there were already a batch of them. Now, according to the climate, it should be the last batch this year. Because it is likely to snow next from the Tien Shan Mountains, it will be difficult to transport reinforcements and supplies.

Even the railway from Kannai to Wheelai will have to be suspended. It will have to wait until the next year, when the snow and ice have melted and the railroad has been repaired, that trains will be reopened.

This means that the next delivery of supplies to Fort Minwei will not be able until the next year's snow and ice melt.

If it was before, Hong Chengchou must have been worried about logistics and supplies when he fought in the west so far away. However, the annexation of the Turkut Department actually solved this problem to the greatest extent. Therefore, at this time, Hong Chengchou was not worried much about the problem of logistics supply.

However, now that reinforcements and supplies have arrived, he is of course also happy.

Turning his head to look at the Tsarist Russian army on the other side, Hong Chengchou turned his head and ordered: "In this way, send someone to greet you, make the momentum bigger and lively." ”

"Yes!" When his men heard this, they hurriedly went down.

Punchuck on the side turned his head to look at the other side, and immediately understood the Governor's intentions in his heart, and couldn't help but smile.

In the past, he felt that Tsarist Russia was very powerful, so he couldn't resist being oppressed by Tsarist Russia all the time.

What I didn't expect now is that since the Ming army came, how can I feel that the Tsarist army is actually nothing more than that?

Hehe, it seems that I really made the right choice! Thinking so in his heart, Punchuck followed Hong Chengchou and got out of the city.

………………

From Smolensk to Moscow, there was no rest, and soon the army marched eastward, all the way to the Samara Fort, the whole journey was almost 3,000 miles. With such a long march, you have to worry about various situations, to be honest, Alexei is actually very tired.

The military order was passed down, the troops were divided and set off, and those who stayed behind were doing what they were doing, and Alexei went to rest.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, he felt a little wrong. The noise outside seemed to be a lot quieter.

Alexei didn't think that it was because he was going to rest, so the movement outside was much smaller. For the will he gave his men to set up camp and rest those things as soon as possible, and it was impossible not to make a sound. There was no movement at this time, which only meant that they had stopped.

Isn't it all tired and lazy?

Thinking like this, Alexei became angry, sat on the marching bed with his clothes on, and was about to call someone, but when he saw the commander of the guards rushing into the camp tent, he said to him with a stern face: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Ming army on the other side has come to reinforce the army. ”

Hearing this, Alexei suddenly became agitated, and his expression suddenly became ugly. However, his movements were not slow, and he immediately put on his clothes and went out of the camp to see the situation.

Sure enough, the subordinates outside all stopped what they were doing, and they all watched the situation on the other side with a little ugly face. In such a situation, it is no wonder that it is quiet!

At this time, Alexei didn't care about this, and immediately found a place with a good line of sight to watch the situation on the other side. On the east side of Samara Fort, a procession came one after another and arrived at Samara Fort. Among these people, there are groups of Ming soldiers in red uniforms, cavalry, infantry, carts of supplies, herds of cattle and sheep, and so on.

On the side of the Ming army on the other side, bursts of cheers were heard from time to time. The sound was so loud that even across the Volga River, it could be heard very clearly here, and you could feel the excitement of the Ming army on the other side.

This time the war was not easy to fight, but now the Ming army has even come to reinforcements and sent supplies, and it looks like there are still a lot. In this case, anyone knows that this battle will become more difficult to fight. In other words, whether this battle can be won or not is a question mark!

Alexei's face also became very ugly, he didn't expect that Ming Guo would be so determined to win the Samara Fort? Why did they send so many troops and send supplies over, because they were determined to occupy Samara Fort and reach so far? Is the Ming Emperor who made the decision a madman?

At this time, he didn't expect that on their side of Tsarist Russia, they didn't do the same, and stretched out their hands to Siberia and all the way to the Pacific Ocean, isn't this hand long enough?

Of course, the eastward expansion of Tsarist Russia did not have such a large-scale and formal dispatch of troops as the Ming army. At that time, they actually did not think about conquering the East and turning it into the territory of Tsarist Russia. All they thought was plunder. However, there were no opponents, and in the end the places they plundered became part of Tsarist Russia.

Thanks to Alexei, who is also a hero, he quickly came back to his senses and found that he was influenced by the Ming army and became so worried about the war, which was a very bad sign.

He turned his head to look around, and not surprisingly, many of his men were in fear, or despair, as if they had no hope for the coming battle.

Seeing this, Alexei knew that he couldn't go on like this. So, he took a deep breath, and then laughed and said, "In this battle, our army will win!" ”

Hearing his laughter and confident conclusions, his generals were immediately puzzled, and someone hurriedly asked about the situation.

In fact, they were also looking for a hope, and at this time, of course, they wanted to be recognized by their Tsar.

After Alexei heard the question, he immediately smiled and pointed to the other side and said: "See, when I heard that I was leading a large army to come, the Ming army immediately bluffed, not only did it have many suspicious soldiers, thinking that there were many soldiers, but even pretended that reinforcements were coming, so as to boost morale and intimidate us. ”

Speaking of this, he asked his subordinates even more loudly: "Just imagine, how far away is the Ming Kingdom, how can they send so many troops and send so many supplies over?" If the commanders of the Ming army didn't use this kind of trick, how could they still fight me? ”

Hearing this, his generals thought, having to admit that their tsar had a point. Feeling the strength of the Ming army, the morale of the Tsarist army was quickly raised.

Seeing this scene, Alexei's heart finally got a little better, but he couldn't relax, because he knew that his inference was not necessarily true. Perhaps, there are so many people in the Ming army!

This battle is not easy to fight!
