In fact, there are advantages to having fewer people, and there are difficulties to having many people.

The most important thing among them is that with more people, the logistics pressure will be greater. During this Western Expedition, the Ming army prepared for several years just to prepare logistics supplies and train the army. Among the vanguards, Li Dingguo's 10,000 cavalrymen left the large army, just everyone took dry food with them. This has a very high requirement for the cavalry of Li Dingguo. If there is no supply to supplement the food before eating them all, it would be very dangerous.

Subsequently, Man Gui's 30,000 vanguards could not do as Li Dingguo's troops. The army must carry supplies, and the fastest way is to carry a flock of cattle and sheep, and use the flock of cattle and sheep to supplement the needs of the army.

Next, the main force of Yang Sichang's troops was too large, and it was impossible to solve the problem by carrying cattle and sheep alone. They had to pull trucks of food and supplies. It was precisely because of the logistics restrictions that Li Dingguo's troops could come and go as if they were like the wind, and every battle was unexpected. Although Mangui's troops were also cavalry troops, their speed was much slower. Yang Sichang's troops were even slower. But in this way, Yang Sichang's troops could carry heavy artillery for siege, which would not affect the speed of the march.

In this way, Mangui did not attack the city on the Samara Fort, but the main force led by Yang Sichang had the capital to attack the city.

When the Samara Fort was built a few years ago, I never thought that it would encounter so many enemies. Moreover, the main target of the construction was the enemy of the nomads. Therefore, compared with the current war, Samara Fort not only could not accommodate the 20,000 troops brought by Patriarch Filalet, but the castle was not strong enough to withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery.

After Yang Sichang just looked at the situation in Samara Fort, he was already happy. He finally made achievements and would not let Li Dingguo become more beautiful than before.

The army surrounded and the heavy artillery stepped forward. Although there were only two heavy artillery engraved with rifled lines, these two heavy artillery were outside the range of the enemy's artillery. You slowly shot and I blasted it with one shot. I obviously saw that the enemy was a little confused, especially under the walls of Samara Fort, the first one to defend against the city began to riot.

This time, Yang Sichang also felt the benefits of advanced weapons. The attack of heavy troops had already made the enemy's morale drop to a low point. Then he saw that Samara Fort slowly collapsed in one place under the bombardment of heavy artillery. The next night, the Tsarist Russian nobles outside the fort could not help but try to break through and flee.

I was really embarrassed. Yang Sichang was not an incompetent master. He had expected this a long time ago and dug a hole to wait for these Western barbarians to jump.

When the next day dawn, Patriarch Fellaret secretly climbed to the top of the city and saw the Ming army clearing the dead bodies near their camp, water dripping from his face.

Originally, their troops were inferior to the Ming army, but these nobles outside the city actually acted without permission and ran to die. Now, they are looking for death, but they have particularly hit the morale in the city and boosted the morale of the Ming army. The city walls will be destroyed. How can we fight this battle?

In desperation, the great Patriarch Filalette asked someone to hold a white flag and wanted to discuss the surrender with the Ming army. However, the envoy was cut off and was quickly driven back. Yang Sichang only replied: "In the past, countless people of the Wei Lat tribe in the Ming Dynasty were killed. Now, I come to fight with the emperor's will, and my blood debt will be paid for it!"

At this moment, Patriarch Fellaret was desperate and could not even surrender, which was too unreasonable. At this time, he began to regret the previous war of attacking the Mongolians of the Urath tribe. He remembered the materials that had plundered the Urath Mongolia and was complacent, and now it seems that his vision is so short-sighted!

But then, he came to his senses. It seemed that Wei Lat Mongolia was not part of the Ming Kingdom at the time. How could he know that the Ming Kingdom had stood up for Wei Lat Mongolia! This... this... the Ming army outside the city was unreasonable!

However, Patriarch Filalette had no way of doing this. He could only gather his nobles and say to them seriously: "Everyone, you should have heard the reply from the Ming army outside the city. Now we have no way out. Only by fighting the Ming army to death can we have a way out. Therefore, everyone, remember that we must unite, act together, and live to death. Do you understand?"

I have to say that his words are effective. Of course, more importantly, these nobles have seen the fate of trying to escape their accomplices privately and the reply from the head coach of the Ming army. Therefore, they had to give up other ideas and expressed their opinions that they must listen to the great Patriarch of Filalette and must fight the Ming army to the end.

In this way, the war returned to its original situation. Outside the city, there were Ming troops, and two heavy artillery guns were outside the range of the cannons on the top of the city. They were "bombing" and "bombing" and shooting at one shot. Apart from that, there was no sign of a fight.

The Tsarist Russian troops in Samara Fort recovered some of their morale due to despair and began to be slowly worn out. However, on this day, before heavy artillery collapsed the walls of Samara Fort, their morale plummeted.

Therefore, a team of Ming troops returned from the west and took a few people, and they were executed in a row outside the city.

"Not good, Lord Patriarch, no good!" A leader almost rolled and crawled into the bedroom of the Great Patriarch Felaret, and reported in panic, "Your Highness... Your Highness is outside..."

"What? He is here?" The Patriarch Fellaret was already sick. After being besieged by the Ming army, his condition worsened and he was already ill in bed. But at this time, he sat up from the bed with an incredible expression on his face, "He has always been cowardly. Now in this situation, he actually brought troops to reinforce?"

Before anyone could answer, he hurriedly got out of bed and walked out, while guessing: "Are reinforcements from several other countries coming together? How many soldiers can defeat the Ming army? Quickly, assemble the army in the city immediately, it is best to cooperate inside and outside, and maybe you can fight in one battle and defeat the demons from the East!"

"..." The leader who came to report the message looked panic and couldn't even interfere, so he had to follow him. After finally waiting for the Grand Patriarch Filalette to finish his words, he hurriedly replied, "No, no, Your Highness... Your Highness was captured by the Ming army!"

As soon as he said this, the Grand Patriarch Fellaret staggered and almost fell. Then, he immediately threw away the maid who had just held him, his face turned pale, and he hurried out to see the situation.

Naturally, his men could not lie to him. When he arrived at the city wall, he found that everyone was looking outside, and he didn't even know that he came over. He understood that everything was over.

As the Tsar, his son was cowardly and would never come out if he stayed in Moscow. Now that he appeared outside the city, it means that Moscow had fallen into the hands of the Ming army.

Sure enough, when he got up the city and looked out, he saw his son and several great nobles who were left behind in Moscow, being escorted outside the city by the Ming army to prepare for execution.

Yang Sichang was the same. He even found someone who knew Tsarist Russian and shouted to the city: "You are overestimating your own abilities and dare to offend our Ming Dynasty. Now the king's army is expeditioning the west, and Mie Er and others are like killing chickens. These people are interest, so open your eyes and look at it!"

After saying that, soldiers from the Weila tribe came up and pulled these people and began to run around the city. Under the gaze of everyone on the city, they dragged these Tsarist Russian nobles to death.

On the top of the city, there was silent and silent like death.

Suddenly, with a "ah", the great Patriarch Fellaret screamed and fell backwards. Fortunately, the people around him were awakened by him, and his hands and eyes were quick, and he immediately supported him. However, seeing his mouth spitting blood and his eyes turned pale, he knew that the situation was not good.

Sure enough, that night, Patriarch Fellaret said a few unwillingly, and reached out to grab the sky, as if he wanted to catch some life-saving straw, but could not. Finally, his hand fell down and his foot kicked, and there was no movement again.

His death once again hit the morale of the Tsarist Russian army. That night, the remaining Tsarist Russian nobles could no longer bear the pressure and led their subordinates to break through.

No surprise, the Ming army outside the city was waiting for their hard work and gave these headless flies a heavy blow to the Western barbarians. When it was dawn, Yang Sichang smiled and began to climb the Samara Fort, climbed up to the far side.

In the temporary chat group, Yang Sichang finally spoke with some confidence: "Your Majesty, I have wiped out the main force of Tsarist Russia and occupied Samara Fort!"

Emperor Chongzhen was not surprised by this. You should know that Tsarist Russia at this time was just a small country in Western Europe, far from the powerful country in later generations. The Ming Dynasty was just the opposite. It was not the Ming Dynasty who was about to destroy the country that was too busy in history, but the Ming Dynasty that was at its peak and stronger than any dynasty in history. With the strength of the Ming Dynasty at this time, it was just a small country in Western Europe, and it was naturally a crushing situation.

In the chat group, before Emperor Chongzhen had time to speak, Minister of War Lu Xiangsheng had already spoken first: "From several battles with the Western Yi, the excellent firearms of my Daming firearms have greatly reduced the casualties of my Daming soldiers. Therefore, I suggest that our Daming military research and development must be ahead."

When the Minister of Personnel Sun Chuanting saw this, he immediately had the opportunity to speak and said, "The scientific and technological knowledge promoted by Your Majesty is really a priceless treasure. I have this weapon in the Ming Dynasty and will be able to stay ahead. I am also drafting an adjutant from each government office. We must have plans for outstanding professional scientific and technological knowledge."

When the left censor of the Censorate, Hong Chengchou, was not willing to be outdone, he immediately spoke and expressed his presence: "The Censorate is sending the Censor to the subordinate yamen of various localities, requiring local governments to strictly investigate examination fraud and prevent scientific and technological disciplines from passing through."

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he was happy and smiled and spoke in the group, saying, "I feel very relieved to all of you all know this!"

Yang Sichang was depressed when he saw it. I am a destruction of the country. What do you guys mean? Instead of saying congratulations, he turned the topic aside. As a result, the emperor didn't even say a sound. Is this really good?

After complaining for a while, he had to admit that the Ming Dynasty has long been numb to the war of destroying the country. Just counting the destruction of Donggo, including Nanyang, North Korea, Japan, etc., it is no wonder that everyone is no longer surprised by this.

After exiting the chat group, Yang Sichang took it as a relaxing moment and looked at the scenery on the Eastern European plains.

To be honest, the east and west of the Ural Mountains are really different. Generally speaking, the temperature in the east is much lower than that in the west, so the vegetation is completely different.

Yang Sichang was qualified to know that the Ming Dynasty launched this war, which was openly avenged the people of the Weila tribe. In fact, the Ming Dynasty was also planning endless wealth underground to the east.

The prisoners captured in this war will not be like those of Li Dingguo, but will be a coolie and expand this castle, which is the bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty to become the extreme west. The emperor gave this name, Mingwei Castle, which means that the Ming Dynasty is famous and shocked the Western barbarians.

Thinking of this, Yang Sichang looked at the herd of grazing in the distance, and suddenly thought to himself: In fact, it is also good to name this place, and it can be very suitable for the situation. It can also be implicitly built by himself!

So, under his careful consideration, after the expansion of the original Samara Fort, the official name on the surface was Mingwei Fort, but the locals, especially the Western Yi, still like to call it Yangcheng. Of course, this is a later story.

At this time, in the Ming Dynasty, after a year of preparation, the Ming Dynasty officially returned to Yingtian Prefecture and renamed the capital of the capital, also known as Nanjing. The original capital was restored to Shuntian Prefecture, also known as Peking, and was also the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It also had eight ministries and other yamen.

At the same time, Li Dingguo continued to make trouble in Europe with the support of the Manchu and Gui army. The cavalry of his troops came and went without a trace and was elusive. In the two rival territories that had just suffered heavy blows, they fought against the nobles and divided the fields, and carried out the will of Emperor Chongzhen, which was to severely attack the vested interests in Europe, that is, the European nobles, to unite the oppressed people in Europe, that is, the serfs and slaves that were still common in Europe. Li Dingguo's reputation began to resound over Europe, and was known as the Eastern Lightning.

It was not until late autumn when the weather slowly became colder that the army led the army back to Fort Mingwei, stationed here, with Mangui as the head coach. Yang Sichang led the army back to the sky and saved the winter. After all, the army was left here, so the logistics pressure was too great.

In Moscow and other places, the Ming army gave up all the vacant territories, even the broken Poland and Sweden, were ready to take over.

However, the Ming army was still shocking at Fort Mingwei. On the European continent, many forces began to grab territory, and at the same time began to unite with each other.

At this time, Europe was originally in the 30th Year's War, because of the issue of faith. For this reason, some Westerners also found out what people believe in and wanted to distinguish them from their enemies and friends.

However, the answer they got was obviously beyond their expectations.
