Then, after two days of marching and inflicting another Russian town, the Swedish army continued its advance towards Moscow. If Patriarch Filaret had known that the commander sent by Sweden was Tolstensen, he probably wouldn't have asked for help anyway.

At noon, the army was on its way, when suddenly, several horsemen galloped in the distance. Although it was far away, it could be judged that it was a scout sent by the Swedish army.

Tors Fujimori was a veteran of warfare, and as soon as he saw his scouts galloping towards him like a desperate speed, he knew that something must have happened, and immediately issued an order from the generals, and the marching troops urgently changed their formations and stood ready to prevent possible problems.

With the dust, the scout galloped up, and before the horse stopped, the scout had already flown off his horse, and with a surprised countenance, he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, the Polish army has been found in front ......"

Upon hearing this, Tors Fujimori couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. I thought it was a situation, but it turned out to be just the Polish army. What's all the fuss about! Although they were opponents before, this time, they all came to reinforcements at the invitation of Tsarist Russia. In this territory of Tsarist Russia, will they still attack each other!

However, before he could finish his thoughts, he listened to the scout continue to say, "...... 's heads are stacked into a big mountain of heads, and roughly estimated, there are at least tens of thousands of ......."

"What?" When Torstensen heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the Polish army was completely annihilated, and what about Władysław IV, their king?" ”

"Back to Your Excellency the Marshal, the head of the King of Poland is also there!" After the scout finished speaking, there was a faint look of fear on his face. It was really that scene that shocked him too much.

Tolls Fujimori's face turned pale, and he hurriedly asked, "What about the enemy?" Is it the Ming Army? When did it happen? ”

"It should be the Ming army, judging from the traces of the scene, they are all cavalry, probably two days ago, as for where the Ming army has gone now, I can't confirm it!"

Tors Fujimori listened to it and asked for details, but he still didn't know the bottom of his heart, and after thinking for a while, he issued orders continuously.

First, send more scouts and spread out in all directions, as the eyes and ears of the army, and at the same time want to find out the movements of the Ming army.

Second, the whole army should be ready for battle and march on alert.

As soon as the order was handed down, these Swedish soldiers were a little curious, they did not dare to disobey the order, they all guarded the march, and at the same time they couldn't help but whisper.

"What's going on? Couldn't it be that you noticed the movement of those Orientals? ”

"It should be, this is the territory of Tsarist Russia, at least for now, except for those Orientals, no one else is an enemy!"

"Okay, you don't have to run too far to fight the Orientals, but it will save trouble, you must clean up those Orientals fiercely, let them know that our side is not a place where they can come to spread wild!"

"Yes, now that our side is strong enough, those Orientals can no longer ride a horse over and sweep away!"

"That's right, we still have the invincible Marshal under the command, as long as those Orientals dare to show their faces, they will definitely be wiped out!"

“……”

Although Torstensen gave the order to march on guard, his men still had a strong confidence and did not worry much. Even many people are still looking forward to meeting the Ming army, so that they can go back after the battle as soon as possible. Because they knew that the east side of Tsarist Russia was so poor that there was not much oil and water, and they did not want to march long distances.

After walking for about an hour, there was no movement, and the sight of scouts constantly coming and going on the marshal's side made the Swedish soldiers a little dissatisfied.

"I thought I would meet those Orientals, but there was no shadow of a fart, what is Your Excellency Marshal doing?"

"Who knows, maybe the Orientals were originally discovered, but when they heard that our great Swedish army was coming, they all ran away!"

"Yes, it's really possible, we're invincible, right, haha!"

“……”

Soon, however, as they walked, they realized that something was wrong.

The summer wind was blowing in my face, and I smelled a big stench. These Swedish troops are used to fighting, but when they smell it, they know what it smells like, and many of them are a little uneasy. Because they felt that there was such a strong smell of corpses, there must have been a lot of death.

Suddenly, someone pointed to the sky in the distance and said in amazement, "Look, there are so many vultures! ”

When everyone heard the sound, they saw that in the distance, there were many vultures flying up from time to time. There are so many vultures, then it indicates that there must be a lot of vulture food in that area. Vultures, on the other hand, generally feed on dead corpses.

This time, there are fewer people to talk to. Of course, they didn't say that they were afraid, after all, they were used to fighting, how could they be afraid of the dead.

However, the direction they were traveling was the area where the vultures were, and as they got closer, their faces gradually became a little unsightly, and their hearts became heavy.

I saw that on this plain, not far from them, there were countless heads, and countless corpses, and from the broken military flags, and the military uniforms on those corpses, they could see at a glance that these were their old rivals, the Polish army.

The one who let the Polish army die so many people here, there is no doubt, should be the devil from the East. Unconsciously, in their hearts, they once again called the Orientals demons.

Tors Fujimori's face was very ugly, and he was not at all happy at the death of his old opponent, and under the guidance of the scout, he covered his mouth and nose and came to the front of Kyokan. Although the corpse was rotting, although the vultures were destroying, Tolstensen could still see a corpse above the Jingguan at a glance, and from the decoration, he could see that this should be the Polish king Władysław IV.

Looking at Jingguan and looking around, Tolls Fujimori somehow, a fear that he had never felt before, rose from his back. At this moment, his attention to the Ming army from the East was raised to the highest hostile position in history.

However, he was also a little curious, pointing to a writing in blood and asking, "What is that?" ”

These words are actually the warnings left by Li Dingguo: Those who commit the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away! Tsarist Russia slaughtered the people of the Ming Dynasty, which was the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and Poland sent troops to help Tsarist Russia to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, which was also the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

There is blood everywhere on the battlefield, so you don't have to care about too many words. A line of Chinese characters fluttering in the wind, and there are annotations written in Tsarist Russian characters on the side, I'm afraid that all the people here are illiterate and don't know Chinese characters!

Tolstensen's face became even more ugly, but instead of being afraid to turn around and flee back to Sweden, he immediately drove around to observe the traces left on the battlefield to judge the situation of his enemy.

And his subordinates, the soldiers of the Swedish army, were already shocked when they looked at the scene in front of them. Although they have killed people and even participated in the massacre of the city, the massacre of civilians is still different from what they see in front of them. After all, although they were powerful, they were not arrogant enough to wipe out the Polish army, especially the winged cavalry army.

However, when they looked at the situation before them, it was clear that the Polish army was completely annihilated. The Ming army from the east is really very murderous! At this moment, many Swedish soldiers were a little scared in their hearts.

Soon after, Tolstensen was busy, and his face finally returned to normal. He immediately sent messengers back to the country to inform him of the situation of the enemy in the east. At this time, he had to deny that he had underestimated the enemy from the east before.

Then he ordered the army to continue marching, and at the same time spread the word that the enemy in the east was not terrible, that they were all cavalry and did not carry artillery. It's just a single class, so there's no need to worry. If they meet the Ming army, the Swedish phalanx and artillery will definitely let the Ming army know that the West is strong!

Tolstensen himself was a master of the use of cannons, and he was considered an authority in Western Europe. When he said this, his men breathed a sigh of relief. Think about it, the cavalry is so particular that it comes and goes like the wind, and the field artillery will drag down its speed, how to bring it? Even if there is an infantry army on his side, it is only after the field artillery has been renovated that he can barely follow the troops to fight.

So, after one or several psychological build-ups, the Swedish army, up and down, finally improved a lot in panic and continued to advance towards Moscow.

However, what no one expected was that at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, they actually met the Ming army unexpectedly.

Speaking of which, the Ming army is not very familiar with Europe. Before, Li Dingguo led the army to find this Swedish reinforcement, but he missed it. However, it was discovered that this Swedish army had plundered all the way, and it was the same as the previous Jianjiao. After having traces, he quickly made a judgment, and deliberately waited until the Swedish army visited the Polish army's Jingguan before choosing the opportunity to prepare for battle.

The cavalry of the Swedish army cannot be compared with the Polish hussars at all, not to mention, the Ming army does not collect at night, they are all in groups, and the number of people far exceeds that of the Swedish scout detachment, and they are all Oirat Mongols, and the horsemanship is exquisite, and it is not comparable to the Swedish scouts.

In this way, when the Swedish army was marching, everyone up and down saw that their scouts were fleeing wildly, and the Ming army in uniform in red uniforms did not collect at night, and they roared after them, and in front of their eyes, they shot the scouts one by one and dismounted them at a gallop. Then he could fly and dismount, cut off his head in a grand manner, and looked at the Swedes who were quickly preparing for the formation like wolves staring at a flock of sheep.

After Tolstensen saw the Ming army's unrelenting skills at night, his expression became grim again. He didn't dare to send a cavalry army to retaliate, but just formed a quick formation. After all, his cavalry is limited, while the Ming army is all cavalry and cannot be consumed.

It didn't take long for a sea of red to appear in the distance, and tens of thousands of Ming army cavalry troops rolled in. This once again shocked the Swedish army.

On the European battlefield, it was Gusta II who made military reforms that led to the creation of a unified military uniform. Moreover, Sweden is also poor, and it is impossible to achieve a unified military uniform for the whole army, so it is divided into different colors according to the phalanx, and the color of the military uniform between the same phalanx must be unified.

At this time, they saw that tens of thousands of cavalry troops from the east were all in uniform and thousands of horses galloping, which was indeed shocking. At this moment, the top and bottom of the Swedish army knew that this battle was not easy to fight.

Torstensen was obviously very concerned about the morale of his own army, and soon realized that the morale was affected, so he immediately gave his men a morale boost: "The enemy is all cavalry, as long as you come to attack, they will be greeted by our artillery and countless lead bullets, soldiers, and finally use the spears in your hands to stab the last surviving cavalry to death, this battle, we will win!" ”

The Swedish army had fought against the Crimean Khanate, the Mongol armies that had fled westward, and as Tolstensen had said, it was easy to defeat the Mongols. Therefore, as soon as he said this, the Swedish soldiers really regained a lot of morale.

I have to say that the Swedish army is indeed elite, especially the artillery, and its movements are so fast that they can be regarded as the strongest in Europe. While the infantry was still in formation, the artillery was almost ready. This was facilitated by the artillery of the Swedish army, a truly professional artilleryman, well trained. Both the speed of assembling the gun and the speed of reloading are maintained at a top speed.

By the time the Ming army approached, the Swedish army was ready for battle. The Swedish phalanx, with the coordination of muskets and spears, with the assistance of the artillery battalion, and the coordination of the cavalry on both wings, were like crocodiles with their mouths open, waiting for their prey to crash into the door.

On the side of the Ming army, Li Dingguo did not fight with the Polish army, and directly led the army to rush forward. Having observed the situation of the Swedish troops through a telescope, he gave the order to halt the advance.

In contrast, the killer weapon of the Polish army was the hussars, who thought they were invincible, so when they were about to fight, they thought of using the hussars to buy time for the infantry. In this regard, Li Dingguo didn't care about it and collided directly. However, the Swedish phalanx in front of him, if he continues to collide with it, his experience will be really blind.

Just by seeing the Swedish army gather their artillery and use it, he knew that if the cavalry charged hard, the losses would be great.

This concept of concentrated use of artillery was put forward and applied by Tolstensen in the original history, and achieved very good results. However, in this plane, Emperor Chongzhen has long proposed it, and in several battles, he has done so. Especially in the battle to conquer Liaoyang, hundreds of artillery pieces bombarded in unison, which was more shocking than the dozens of Swedish guns.

Li Dingguo has experienced it, and in the Ming Dynasty Senior Military Arsenal, he has also heard how to deal with this kind of enemy. Therefore, he already had a plan in his heart, and after looking up at the sky, he immediately began to give a series of orders.

Some of the cavalry dismounted and began to rest, and they were in the sight of the Swedish troops, as if no one was around. Another three or four hundred cavalry troops met the Swedish army. Of course, behind them, there was a part of the cavalry that followed.

The Ming army led by Li Dingguo and the Swedish army led by the famous European general Tors Tengsen finally went to war.
