Chapter 2962 Battle of Moscow, Ye Er VS Peter

Chapter 2959: Battle of Moscow, Ye Er VS Peter

In order to learn about the East from Xuanzang, Catherine II pestered Xuanzang and his disciple. After the two sides traveled together for about seven or eight days, the general from Moscow found Ye Er and informed her of the news that Peter had launched a coup.

"How could my brother-in-law do this? Is he worthy of my father's painstaking cultivation?"

Ye Er was naturally extremely angry about this. It was his father who trained Peter and gave him high positions, generous salaries and supreme power, but a plot to sow discord led Peter to rebel and even killed his father.

This hatred and resentment are irreconcilable.

"Be careful."

Just when Ye Er was burning with anger and in a state of confusion, the general who came to report the news suddenly drew his sword and slashed at her. If Xuanzang had not been quick-eyed and quick-handed, and caught the blade with his bare hands, Ye Er would probably have died from this sword.

"Uncle Joseph, you want to kill me? You watched me grow up."

Ye Er was in disbelief and cried bitterly, "In my heart, you are a relative, an uncle-like existence. How could you turn to Peter and become a traitor?"

Joseph was ashamed when he heard this, and said bitterly: "I don't want to do this, but the whole city of Moscow has fallen into Peter's hands. He threatened me with the lives of my family, so I had to do this."

Ye Er was silent. After thinking for a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Chen, let him go."

Xuanzang sighed and let go, but Joseph did not leave. Instead, he knelt down and said, "Princess, Peter will not let you go. Now the whole of Moscow is under his control. You'd better run away quickly. It will be too late if you are late."

Ye Er's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "If he doesn't let me go, I won't let him go either. The hatred of killing my father is irreconcilable, and I must make him pay the price."

After hearing this, Joseph was stunned. He had made it clear enough that not only the city of Moscow, but the whole Moscow was about to fall into Peter's hands. Peter now held all the power, and the Kingdom of Moscow just had not had time to change its name.

"Forget it. Your Majesty has been very kind to me, and Princess, you have spared my life. I am not a shameless person. Even if I have to climb mountains of swords and plunge into pots of oil, I will accompany you." Joseph said resolutely.

Ye Er heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. She now had only one biggest enemy, and that was her brother-in-law Peter. So she didn't care that the other party had just tried to assassinate her. Now every time she won over a friend, she would have a better chance of winning. And Joseph's family had been a family of generals for generations, which could obviously be of great help to her.

After some discussion, Ye Er, her men, and Joseph discovered that even with Joseph's men, she could only mobilize 3,000 men, while Peter had an army of 50,000 in Moscow alone.

The gap in strength between the two sides is too great. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is almost impossible to have any chance of winning, which also makes Ye Er very discouraged.

Seeing this, Xuanzang couldn't help but say: "In fact, Princess, your enemy is only Peter, not the 50,000 troops."

"But those fifty thousand soldiers now obey Peter."

Hearing Ye Er's words, Xuan Zang shook his head and said, "After all, Peter usurped power through a coup and killed the old king. He was disloyal and unjust. I believe that there are many people in Moscow who are dissatisfied with him. They just surrendered because of the situation. These people are among the 50,000 troops."

Ye Er was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Before Xuanzang could speak, Zhu Tianpeng on the side could not help but interrupt and said, "You little girl, you were quite smart when you were trying to trick me before, why are you so confused now?

My master means that there are potential allies of yours among these 50,000 troops. As long as you can distinguish who is a die-hard fan of Peter and who is dissatisfied with him, and divide and disintegrate them, you can attract a large number of people to help you, and naturally you will have a chance to defeat Peter and retake Moscow. "

Among the five people who traveled to the West, in addition to Xuanzang, Zhu Tianpeng and Ao Lie also had better language talents. After a long period of study and communication in recent days, they were able to communicate normally with Ye Er.

As for Sun Lingming and Sha Juanlian, Sha Juanlian was simply too lazy to learn, while Sun Lingming's talent was entirely in martial arts. He had almost no talent for foreign languages ​​and could not learn them at all, so both of them could only speak the most basic language.

Zhu Tianpeng's words made Ye Er's eyes light up. Yes, Peter usurped the throne and there were many people who were dissatisfied with him. As long as she could distinguish who was a friend and who was an enemy, and win over friends to deal with enemies, she still had a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Xuanzang had said everything he needed to say. He felt that he had done his best for Ye Er and lived up to the map that the other party had given him. As for the Moscow Civil War, he could neither participate nor wanted to participate, so he planned to leave at that point.

But before Xuanzang took two steps, he found that his clothes were pulled. Looking back, he found Ye Er pulling his robe with tears in his eyes.

Seeing this, Sha Juanlian couldn't help but complain: "Master, why can't you control your mouth? Well, now I can't leave and will be involved in weird events again."

Zhu Tianpeng also complained: "Don't you understand? Who made our master have peach blossom fate? He has been here for so many times. He is just a playboy with six impure roots."

Hearing this, Xuanzang glared at the two of them angrily, and then said to Ye Er helplessly: "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

"Brother Chen, you are all capable people, please help me."

"Ugh……"

Xuanzang sighed and said, "We just met by chance. I really can't help you. Please let go. We still need to be on our way."

"No, I won't let go unless you help me."

"You are being shameless."

Xuanzang looked helpless, and Ye Er knew that throwing a tantrum would not get the other party to help her, so she promised: "As long as you can help me get revenge, I will marry you." "Ahem..."

Xuanzang was so shocked that he started coughing violently, while Ao Lie complained, "Okay, here comes another one."

"Don't cause trouble."

After scolding his disciple, Xuanzang said to Ye Er in silence, "Your Highness, I am a monk and I don't like women."

Ye Er naturally didn't believe this, and thought it was just Xuanzang's excuse. After all, are there any men in this world who are not lustful? So after thinking for a while, he said, "As long as it is from the Moscow State, I will give it to you no matter what it is, whether it is a magic weapon, a famous sword, a holy medicine or..."

Before Ye Er finished speaking, Sun Ling asked excitedly, "You mentioned the holy medicine just now?"

Sun Lingming doesn't know many foreign languages, but holy medicine happens to be one of them.

"Does your country have holy medicine?" Xuanzang asked seriously.

Seeing this, Ye Er felt relieved and said seriously, "Yes, it is in the treasure pavilion in the palace. It is one of my father's collections. As long as you are willing to help me, after success, I can not only give you the holy medicine, but also you can choose other treasures."

Seeing that Ye Er was so confident and didn't seem to be lying at all, although Xuanzang and others didn't understand why Tianxiang Doukou ended up in Moscow, they still chose to believe Ye Er. After all, the purpose of their journey to the west was Tianxiang Doukou. If they could get it in advance, they could naturally end the journey and go back early.

The journey to the West was too hard. Not only was there poor eating and sleeping, but there was also a hardship every few days, and they were often wanted by the whole country. It was simply too torturous, so if they could, all five of them would definitely want to go back early.

So the five of them didn't hesitate much and decided to stay and help Ye Er put down the rebellion, so as to obtain the Tianxiang Cardamom.

Since they had to participate in person and receive Tianxiang Cardamom as a reward, Master Xuanzang and his three disciples thought that this was the last year, so they naturally tried their best to formulate a plan to quell the rebellion for Ye Er.

Xuanzang served as the military advisor and gave advice, Zhu Tianpeng served as the commander-in-chief and led an army of 3,000 men, while Sun Lingming, Sha Juanlian and Ao Lie each led a thousand men as generals.

To put it bluntly, with only 3,000 troops, they were able to gather such a lineup of generals. Even the Qin Dynasty, which was full of powerful generals, would not be so extravagant.

Seeing Zhu Tianpeng yawning while training his soldiers to line up and move, Sun Lingming immediately reminded him, "Stupid, pay attention, this is our last challenge."

"Don't worry, big brother. Back then, it was easy for me to command an army of 100,000. A mere 3,000 troops is just a piece of cake."

Upon hearing this, Ye Er's heart was filled with a huge wave of emotion. The total military strength of the entire Moscow Kingdom was less than 100,000. What kind of identity did Zhu Tianpeng have that allowed him to command an army of 100,000?

Ye Er couldn't help but feel extremely curious about the identities of the five people, and at the same time he worked even harder to get information from them. However, after the lesson of Darius, Master Xuanzang and his disciples were not willing to reveal their past.

But Ye Er was so smart that even if the five people didn't say it explicitly, she could roughly guess their past just from a few words. It was obvious that they were not ordinary people.

Three days later, following Xuanzang's strategy, Zhu Tianpeng led 3,000 troops to set up an ambush on the road that must be passed. Not only did he allow Sun Lingming to capture the enemy's main general alive in one battle, he also forced the surrender of the 10,000-strong army that came to encircle and suppress him, causing the number of troops in Ye Er's hands to directly increase to 13,000.

Afterwards, with the assistance of Xuanzang, Ye Er personally led an army of 13,000 and marched towards Moscow under the banner of suppressing rebellion, officially sounding the clarion call for a counterattack.

Zhu Tianpeng led his army in a hurry. The 13,000-strong army used both land and sea forces and arrived at the city in just five days, leaving Peter no chance to react.

Peter still had an army of 40,000 and the solid city of Moscow in his hands. Naturally, he would not take a mere 13,000 enemy troops seriously. However, considering that there were still many people in the city who did not submit to him, in order to show his strength, he chose to send generals to lead the army to fight a decisive battle, thus making his first fatal mistake.

What Peter never expected was that his severely vulnerable Ye Erjun now had a fierce general named Sun Lingming, who killed six of his generals in one battle, causing the morale of Peter's army to drop sharply and eventually resulting in a miserable defeat.

After this battle, Peter's army lost another 8,000 soldiers. Although there were still more than 30,000 troops in the city, the number of Ye Er's army increased instead of decreased, directly rising to 20,000. It also frightened the tens of thousands of troops who came to support the king, making them dare not move. They stopped their advances and watched the fight from the sidelines.

Peter knew that he could not defeat Sun Lingming, and he could not win even if he left the city, so he adopted a strategy of defending to the death, which was exactly what Xuanzang wanted.

Although Ye Er's troops had increased in number, 17,000 of them were surrendered soldiers with low morale, and they were unable to fight a tough battle.

If Peter had really fought with all his might, Xuanzang would have asked Ye Er to withdraw his troops, but he chose to defend the city, which gave Xuanzang more room to maneuver.

Faced with Peter's stubborn defense strategy, Xuanzang decided to use psychological warfare. He ordered his soldiers to curse Peter day and night outside the city, write down his various crimes, and then shoot them into the city with bows and arrows to gradually undermine his military morale.

Just like that, after half a month of siege and the fermentation of public opinion, the morale of Peter's army in the city was shaken and internal strife eventually broke out.

After the rebel army in the city seized control of the city gate, they took the initiative to open the city gate and welcome Ye Er's army into the city. When Peter saw Ye Er's army entering the city and the soldiers he sent out could not stop Sun Lingming at all, he knew that the situation was hopeless. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only abandon the city and flee with some of his confidants.

In this way, the civil war in the Kingdom of Moscow that was triggered by Peter's coup was settled by Ye Er in less than a month with the intervention of Master Xuanzang and his five disciples. Ye Er also ascended the throne with the recommendation of the old ministers and was crowned as the first queen of the Kingdom of Moscow.
