When Hong Chengchou first chose a site to expand the Minway Fort, he had to make the Tsarist Russian army coming from the east had a headache about how to attack Minway Fort.

Moreover, Hong Chengchou also knew that since Tsarist Russia was fighting with Poland, even if he could lead a large army to fight Minway Fort, his retreat would definitely be unstable.

Even if Tsarist Russia had to sign an agreement with Poland, it would have a chance to damage the mortal enemy once. Hong Chengchou believed that even if the agreement was torn apart, there was nothing worth making a fuss about.

Therefore, with Hong Chengchou's experience as an official for so many years, he immediately saw the weaknesses of the soon-to-be-invading Tsarist Russian army and made targeted arrangements.

At this time, he heard that Pengchuk obviously had a little flattery, and he just smiled slightly: Yes, he had created a favorable situation, and Racine was the insider. In fact, before he could fight this battle, he had a great chance of winning.

"Whether this battle can be easily won, the Khan's efforts are also the key!" Hong Chengchou is a good person, so he did not show that kind of arrogant attitude. Even if he is the largest official of the Ming Dynasty here, he has decided to do the same.

The call to Pengchuk was even more comfortable. Even though he refused several times and wanted to regard himself as a subordinate of Hong Chengchou, he had to accept the title of Governor General in the end.

According to Hong Chengchou, if Pengchuk has not received the will of the Ming Emperor, then he will still be a great knight. In the future, if nothing unexpected happens, Pengchuk will become the Duke or Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and his status will be noble.

These words made Pengchuk feel very happy. Correspondingly, he was not stingy with his words and flattered the governor when he had the chance. He was happy with each other.

After a while, Pengchuk was still active and asked Hong Chengchou for battle: "Governor General, why don't the general lead the army north and block the possibility of Tsarist Russian troops going east?"

Although Hong Chengchou called him the Khan, he still had to be more modest and could not really regard himself as the Khan. He still had this kind of self-consciousness after being the Khan for so many years.

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou shook his head and said with a smile: "Let them cross the river. After coming to Fort Minway, defeat the enemy crossing the river in front of the enemy opposite. It can greatly impact the morale of the enemy. The Battle of Fort Minway will almost end!"

Hong Chengchou's purpose is not to completely annihilate the invading Tsarist Russian troops, but to gain a foothold in Fort Minway. On this basis, it is best to win more, and there is no problem at all.

After thinking about it, Pengchuk slapped it again, showing a look of surprise and joy and said: "What the Governor said is so true. While talking and laughing, he held the chance of winning in his hand. Even so, he was convinced!"

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou smiled slightly, responded, then raised his telescope and continued to observe the enemy on the other side.

Of course, although we want to let the detoured enemies cross the river, we still need necessary vigilance, and we have already released it if we don’t collect it at night.

On the other side of the Volga River, except for some of the Tsarist Russian troops who were alert by the river, the rest of the people were shouting and neighing, camping and going out, which was very lively.

After watching for a while, Hong Chengchou thought to himself, let you have a lot of fun.

Then, he put away the telescope. When he was about to turn back to the Governor's Office, there was a sudden movement from behind him. Some subordinates came over and reported: "Governor, reinforcements and support supplies have arrived again."

Before, a batch of people had already arrived. Now, according to climate speculation, this batch should be the last batch of people this year. Because from Tianshan to this side, it is likely to snow in the future, and it will become difficult to transport reinforcements and materials.

Even the railways from within the pass to Luntai will have to be suspended. We must wait for the next year, when the ice and snow melt and the railway is repaired correctly, before the trains will be reopened.

This means that the supplies sent to Fort Minway will have to wait until the ice and snow melt in the next year.

If it were before, Hong Chengchou was fighting in such a far away West, he must have been worried about logistics supply issues. However, the surrender of the Turkut tribe actually solved this problem to the greatest extent. Therefore, Hong Chengchou was no longer worried about logistics supply issues at this time.

However, now that reinforcements and supplies are coming, he is of course happy.

Turning 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 more lively."

"As for order!" When his subordinates heard this, they quickly responded.

Pengchuk, who was beside him, turned to look at the other side, and immediately understood the intention of the governor, and couldn't help but smile.

In the past, he felt that Tsarist Russia was very powerful, so he could not resist even if he was bullied by Tsarist Russia.

What I didn't expect now is that since the Ming army arrived, why did I feel that the Tsarist Russian army is actually just like this?

Haha, it seems that my choice was really the right one! Peng Chuke thought so in his heart, and then he followed Hong Chengchou and got off the city wall.

……………………

There was no rest from Smolensk to Moscow. He quickly led the army eastward to the Samara Fort, which was nearly 3,000 miles away. For such a long distance, he had to worry about various situations. To be honest, Alexei was actually very tired.

The military order was passed down, and the troops were divided and the ones who stayed were doing what they should do. Alexey went to rest.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, he felt something was wrong. The noise outside seemed to have become much quieter.

Alexey didn't think that because he was about to rest, the movement outside became much smaller. Because the will he gave was to ask his subordinates to camp and rest as soon as possible, it was impossible not to make any noise. There was no movement at this time, which only means that they all stopped.

Could it be that they are so tired that they are lazy, right?

Thinking of this, Alexey became angry and sat on the camp bed wearing clothes. Just as he was about to call someone, he saw the guards rushing into the camp and reported to him with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, it's not good, reinforcements from the Ming army on the other side."

Hearing this, Alexey suddenly shuddered 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, all the subordinates outside stopped their work, and each of them looked a little ugly and watched the situation on the other side. In this situation, no wonder it was quiet!

At this time, Alexey didn't care about this and immediately found a place with good vision to watch the situation on the other side. On the east side of Samara Fort, teams drove over one after another and arrived at Samara Fort. Among these people, there were a group of Ming army soldiers wearing red uniforms, cavalry, infantry, and carriages of supplies, herds of cattle and sheep, etc.

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

This war was not easy to fight, but now the Ming army has even brought reinforcements and transported supplies, which seems to be quite a lot. In this case, anyone knows that this battle will become even more difficult to fight. In other words, whether this battle can be won will be a question mark!

Alexey's face also became very ugly. He did not expect that the Ming Dynasty was so determined to win the Samara Fort? Why did he send so many troops and transport supplies? He was determined to occupy Samara Fort and extend his hand to such a distance? Is the Emperor of Ming, who made the decision, a madman?

At this time, he didn't expect that the Tsarist Russian side would be the same. He stretched his hand to Siberia and reached the Pacific Ocean. Isn't this hand long enough?

Of course, the eastern expansion of Tsarist Russia did not have as large-scale or formally sent troops as the Ming army. At that time, they actually did not think about conquering the East and turning the East into the territory of Tsarist Russia. What they thought was just plundering at that time. However, without an opponent, the place they plundered became part of Tsarist Russia.

Fortunately, Alexey was also a hero. He soon came to his senses and found that he was actually influenced by the Ming army and became so worried about the war. This was a very bad sign.

He turned around and looked around. No surprise, his subordinates suffered a stroke, and many of them looked scared or desperate. They seemed to have no hope for the upcoming war.

Seeing this, Alexey knew that this could not continue. So he took a deep breath, then laughed and said, "Our army will win in this battle!"

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

In fact, they were also seeking a hope, at this time, of course, to get the affirmation of the war with their Tsar.

After hearing the question, Alexey smiled and pointed to the other side and said, "Seeing that, when I heard that I led the army to come, the Ming army immediately bluffed. Not only did they send out many suspicious soldiers, they thought there were many reinforcements, and even pretended that reinforcements were coming to boost morale and intimidate us. This is a strong man on the outside!"

Speaking of this, he even asked his subordinates loudly: "Imagine how far away the Ming Kingdom is, how could they send so many troops and transport so many supplies? If the commander of the Ming army did not use such tricks, how could they fight with me?"

Hearing this, his generals thought and had to admit that their Tsar was right. When they felt the Ming army's strong external force and the middle force, the morale of the Tsarist Russian army quickly rose.

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