Chapter 1314 The Devil from the East

However, it took time for the news to spread. The [-] cavalry army led by Li Dingguo rushed on the plains of Eastern Europe, sweeping past like a strong wind blowing from the east, making everyone who saw this cavalry army passing by along the way, Everyone was dumbfounded.

In the vast area close to Moscow, the remaining Tsarist Russian army is driving out the low-level people and serfs everywhere, and fully implements the order of the Patriarch Filaret to fortify the walls and clear the fields.Rich landlords, petty nobles, etc., they can still enter Moscow to hide for a while, as for the low-level people and serfs, they don't have this kind of treatment.They were unwilling to leave their hometown, which happened to be in line with the wishes of the Tsarist Russian army, and they immediately started to fight hard, looting supplies and burning houses. Without these, naturally it would be impossible to survive.

While doing these things, they are also intimidating.It means that the army is coming soon. They have green faces and long fangs, just like the Mongols before. Wherever they go, they rob cattle, sheep, food, and burn houses. Men, women and children are not spared. They are the devils of the East.

In this regard, the common people are very frightened.After all, the yellow peril in the past has always been circulated.However, there are also many people, especially those low-level people and serfs, who dare not speak out against the Tsarist Russian army, and comment in private, saying that what they are doing now is not the same thing that the legendary demons do!
On this day, in a village sixty miles away from Moscow, the black smoke rising could be seen far away.Many Tsarist Russian troops were scattered all over the village, some were rummaging through the house, some had already left the house with a lot of things on their backs, turned around and lit the torch again, held the torch to burn the house, and watched the flames rise , running higher and higher, burning more and more fiercely, they just laughed there, seeming extraordinarily happy and excited.

In stark contrast to them, those who brought the old and the young, and were supervised by the Tsarist army to leave the house and set foot on the road to Moscow and other places, had sad faces and even despair.Among them, there were some people with bruised noses and swollen faces. These people wanted to prevent the Tsarist Russian army from driving away and took the opportunity to plunder their houses, and they were beaten in the end.

Suddenly, no matter whether it was the Tsarist Russian army or the people in the village, they all sensed that something was wrong and turned their heads to look east.

In the distance, a red line was rolling in, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes rolled from the sky like thunder.

"What is that, cavalry?"

"It looks like it should be a cavalry army. I don't know which country it is from?"

"Who knows? Didn't the patriarch invite many countries and tribes to resist the Ming army? Could this be from one of the invited countries?"

"No, this direction is wrong. This is going to Moscow, right? But hasn't the Patriarch led the nobles to Samara Castle?"

"..."

While they were still discussing, the cavalry army in the distance was getting closer and closer, so close that they could see the flying flag of that army.No one has ever seen it, but they discovered that the characters on the flag are pictographic characters, which are completely different from the characters of European countries.In such a sensitive period, someone came back to his senses and shouted in a little panic: "Ming army? Demons from the east?"

"Impossible. Didn't the Patriarch just go to Samara Fort? If this is the Ming army, how could it appear here?"

"..."

Amidst uncertainty, the cavalry came closer, and when those with good eyesight could see the knights clearly, they could be sure that the Ming army was indeed coming.This time, everyone panicked.

Looking at the boundless red rolling on the grassland, even the hundreds of Tsarist Russian troops, in this case, even the Spartan warriors who turned into cowhide and smashed the sky, could not compete with it.

Everyone panicked. At this time, there was no difference in status. Whether it was serfs, ordinary people, nobles in the village, or the Tsarist Russian army, they all fled in all directions, or fled to houses that were not burned, or fled. In the potholes of the field.

The cavalry was getting closer and closer, the ground seemed to be trembling, and the sound of hoofbeats became deafening.

The hiding crowd, regardless of men, women, young or old, or young and old, were all trembling, as if they were waiting for the doomsday to come.In their minds, they were even imagining that the demons from the east were about to slaughter here with their butcher knives held high.

Facing such a huge cavalry army, their personal strength is so small, which makes them so desperate.Many people hugged their wives and children, waiting to die with their eyes closed in despair.

However, no matter what they didn't expect, the rolling Ming army swept across the roads of Zhuangzi. The sound of horseshoes could deafen them, and the dust they brought up could cover them up. Just didn't dismount, didn't raise the butcher's knife high, and killed them all.It was as if they didn't exist in the eyes of the Ming army, they just swept past and left!
After a long time, when the sound of hoofbeats went away, the Tsarist Russians who had survived the catastrophe came out of their hiding places one after another with confusion on their faces, and looked at the red color that was about to disappear. After being convinced of what they saw, Surprises added up.

"We're not dead, my God, we're not dead!"

"Yes, we escaped unharmed, those demons let us go!"

"Didn't they see us? Could it be that God is protecting us and hiding us at critical times?"

"No, when the Ming army galloped past me just now, I met him. I could feel that he had seen me. And...and the look in his eyes didn't seem to be killing, it seemed... It seems pitiful...God, why do I feel this way?"

"You are so brave, you dare to look at them? But you must be delusional. These Ming soldiers must not bother to kill us. They are rushing to Moscow!"

"That's right, judging by their appearance, they are rushing to Moscow!"

"..."

After discussing and reaching such a conclusion, the leader of the Tsarist Russian army couldn't help but turn pale with fright, because he understood that the army left behind in Moscow, just like him, was sent out to fortify the wall and clear the country.Moscow at this time should be very empty.

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to go back to Moscow, but took his subordinates and fled quickly with the looted property.

Moscow at this time was indeed an empty city.Originally, Patriarch Filaret brought most of the troops to Samara Fort to resist the Ming army, and those who stayed behind had to carry out the task of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields. Generally speaking, in Moscow at this time, there were only troops that could maintain law and order. .

However, Moscow at this time does not have the tension of the front line, and it is a good day for those left behind nobles.Especially when they looked at the troops sent to various places, every time they returned to Moscow, they would bring property and food looted from various places, as well as various materials and belongings brought by those local nobles when they hid in Moscow.It can be said that Moscow at this time is richer than ever before.After all, all Zhuangzi's wealth in the surrounding area was concentrated in Moscow because of the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness.

Tsar Mikhail didn't feel much about this, he basically didn't care about these things.It could even be said that when his father was away, he would listen to his mother and those left behind nobles.Usually, he is only responsible for eating, drinking and having fun.

Because of Filaret Patriarch's order to fortify the wall and clear the country, Moscow and its surrounding areas showed a trend of polarization, that is, crying to death and laughing to death.

On this day, outside the city of Moscow, crowds of people, carrying all kinds of burdens, dragged their children, carried all kinds of oxen and carriages, and carried countless luggage, slowly moving towards the city.Their expressions, even those in the oxen and carriages, were full of fear and confusion about the future.

Although the Tsarist Russian army in this place is better and did not blatantly rob, but it is inevitable to add some obstruction after interrogation.The speed of the team entering the city slowed down, and there were more and more people at the gate of the city, and there were still noises spreading from time to time.

Probably someone wanted to go to the city to escape, but he was not qualified enough, and was discovered by the gatekeeper, which gave rise to a quarrel.

In the past, on this day, it would be like this until dark.However, on this day, when everyone was waiting numbly to enter the city amidst the noise, suddenly, some of them noticed something and turned their heads to look east.

At this time, the defenders on the top of the city had also noticed the abnormality and were already observing.

"Cavalry, a cavalry is coming, the red one is from which country?"

"The ones coming from the east are the Cossacks? Impossible!"

"..."

After discussing for a while, although the officers on the top of the city didn't see which faction's cavalry army it was, they had already discovered something was wrong, and quickly ordered: "The cavalry army is coming menacingly, close the city gate quickly just in case!"

Be careful whether you are an enemy or a friend.

However, the city gates are lined up waiting to enter the city, so they can be closed if they say they are closed.Not to mention those crowds, just those horse-drawn carriages, you have to drive them away before you can close the door, right?
And the crowd who were already in panic panicked when they heard that the cavalry coming from a distance might be the enemy, and they stopped listening to the command of the soldiers under the city, and flocked into the city one after another.

In this case, not to mention closing the city gate, those defenders were all rushed into the city.

Seeing this situation, the officer at the city gate became anxious, and couldn't care less. He hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed, and even killed people.

"Bang bang bang" gunshots rang out, and the commotion near the city gate suddenly quieted down as if using a restraint technique. Only a few unlucky ghosts fell to the ground struggling with their bleeding wounds.

The crowd must have been frightened by this, and it was extremely quiet for a while.The officer was also extremely courageous, and immediately shouted: "Shut the city gate, anyone who dares to stop will be killed without mercy!"

It has to be said that his approach is effective.The crowd at the city gate didn't dare to mess around anymore, for fear of being detained and blocked to close the gate and be killed.Those who have already entered the city rejoice in their hearts; while those who are about to be shut out can only pray in their hearts, it is not an enemy, it is just a false alarm!

But after such a delay, the cavalry army in the distance has gotten closer, and the naked eye can see clearly.

The opponent did not slow down at all, and the momentum of the tens of thousands of cavalry rolling in was so great that even if it was a friendly army, it could scare the timid people.

Suddenly, someone shouted in horror: "It's not good, it seems... It's the Ming army!"

Immediately, someone from behind the crowd in the city yelled in horror: "The devil is coming, the Eastern devil is coming, run for your life!"

This time, the crowd who had just settled down exploded as if they had been hit by a stone.The people in the crowd, no matter what the number 21, [-], they rushed to the city desperately.The small group of defenders who had just gone to close the gate were all dispersed, and some of them were stepped on by the crowd, and they did not know whether they were dead or alive.

The officer on the top of the city was sweating immediately, but he ignored it and immediately ordered to shoot.

However, this time, the crowd no longer cared about the gunshots above the city, or their companions being shot. They only had one thought in their minds, and that was to escape into the city as soon as possible.The gates of Moscow City were all in a mess.

The cavalry army that came from outside the city was undoubtedly the [-] partial division led by Li Dingguo. Using the cover of Mangui, they rushed forward and rushed straight to Huanglong, and finally reached Moscow, the capital of Tsarist Russia.

When Li Dingguo saw the scene under the city, he immediately issued a military order through the banner.After the soldiers of the Ming army approached the city of Moscow, they did not slaughter the Tsarist Russian civilians. Instead, they got off their horses and shot at the city.

The defenders on the top of the city looked at the overwhelming Ming army and saw that the city gate could not be closed, so they panicked.They were fired head-on by the Ming army, and they were beaten to death immediately, and even a few unlucky ghosts were shot and fell into the city.

The crowd, who were already scared to death, frantically flocked towards the city as if they had been slapped with chicken blood after hearing the dense gunshots.

The incident happened suddenly, and the Ming army made its first appearance in Moscow. It is written in the history books: Wang Shi crusade against the slave owners of Tsarist Russia, and the people jumped for joy.

The soldiers of the Ming army rushed into the city behind the crowd.There was a disparity in the strength of the troops, and the morale was even more incomparable. Without the protection of the Moscow city wall, everything would have been settled at the moment the Ming army entered the city.

Almost none of the Tsarist Russian nobles in the city could escape, and all the left behind, headed by the Tsar, were all arrested.Throughout the city, although the soldiers of the Ming army were exhausted, they were vigilant and patrolling vigorously.

The Tsarist Russian people squatting in the corners are trembling, and they have fallen into the hands of the legendary devil. It is conceivable that they will go down to the city!
But after waiting for a long time, they are a little strange.Why didn't these demons burn, kill and loot after they entered the city, they just captured the nobles, but they didn't even look at them?Judging by their appearance, this military discipline seems to be several times stronger than the tsar's army!

This... what the hell is going on here?
