Tsar of the Sphinx

Chapter 20 The Russo-Turkish War (Breakdown and Audition)
Ivanov Melkisekevich Andronikashvili did not expect that the defenders of Chisinau would flee and surrender before he rushed into Chisinau.

Ivanov Melkisekevich Andronikashvili slowed down his horse and slowly entered Chisinau.

Grigory Andreevich Repnin captured the forgotten boyar of Chisinau before he could bite the Turkish soldiers who took Fanar away when the Turkish army was defeated stand up.

Grigory Andreyevich Repnin was about to mount his horse and lead his men into the city when he saw Ivanov Melkisek Andronikashvili riding Cossacks entered the city.

Ivanov Melkisek Andronikashvili had just passed the city gate when he saw his good friend Grigory rushing forward with a man who did not look like his own soldier.

Then Gregory was heard shouting.

Let's go to the warehouse, the Cossacks follow me!
Immediately, he rushed into the city with the Cossack cavalry behind Ivanov Melkisek Andronikashvili.

Before Ivanov recovered, he saw the Cossack cavalry rushing into the city.

Ivanov had no choice but to dismount and ordered some soldiers to enter the city, while he led the remaining infantry to collect the prisoners and clean the battlefield.

······
After being taken to the city, Fanar asked people to poke their heads out from time to time to see if the Russian soldiers had come.

Are you here?
The Russians are not here!
Logically, it should have come, why hasn't it come yet?

Could it be that they are preparing to continue bombing the city?
Surrounded in the center, Fanar spat out a mouthful of blood.

If those who don't come in continue to bombard outside, then this trap will become a display.

Someone here!

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Grigory Andreevich Repnin approached from the side with the Cossacks.

Gregory originally took the Cossack to the warehouse to see if there were any good things.

But Gregory bumped into Fanar who was setting up an ambush at the intersection by mistake.

kill!

It was still the old method of the Cossack era. With a wave of light weapons, the Turkish soldiers and Fanar saw that the Cossack sabers had charged towards them.

The Cossacks didn't get any credit for staying behind the position, but they didn't expect that the morale of the enemy army discovered under the leadership of Gregory would be like a rainbow in an instant. The stigma of discovery lingers.

It didn't take long for this group of Turkish soldiers to be killed or wounded, and the rest knelt down and surrendered.

Fanal retreated steadily under the protection of his personal guards.

There is a high official here!

More and more soldiers were sent out by Ivanov, which also meant that the battlefield at the city gate was almost finished cleaning.

Then Fanal, who was retreating, was surrounded.

lay down your weapon!

It's a Greek!

Gregory walked up to Faneuil and recognized him.

Seeing that someone recognized his identity, Fanar stood up and said: I am a member of the Ypsilantis family of the Fanar people, please let me go, my family will give you a big gift. of gold coins.

I think your guards are pretty good!
Gregory looked directly at the guards and said.

General, if you want it, I can give it to you, as long as you can let it go....

Before he could finish speaking, his guards threw Faneuil down one after the other, and then yelled, then drew Fanauer's knife and stabbed Fanauer who was under him.

Made!

The group of soldiers who surrounded Fanar were ready to continue the attack.

The whole army is out of town!ready to go!
Grigory Andreyevich Repnin led the soldiers out of the city, and the soldiers began to return to their formations, while Grigory rode his horse to the front of the position to find Ivanov.

Ivanov, what's going on, why did he suddenly withdraw.Gregory yelled loudly.

A letter has just arrived from Kherson demanding that we go immediately to Kagibey and surrender Chisinau to the Austrians.Ivanov Melkisek Andronikashvili drew Grigory who was shouting to his lips and whispered.

What the hell?Give it up to the Austrians.Gregory replied in a low voice with a shocked expression on his face.

Yes, it seems that the Austrians failed to advance in the siege of Belgrade. Duke Potemkin meant to hand over Chisinau to the Austrians so that the Austrian soldiers could practice their hands.

But it has already been beaten.

Just shoot it down, don't care, let's meet with the Marshal and the Grand Duke first.

All right, let's go.

Ivanov Melkisek Andronikashvili ordered.

Have we forgotten something, Gregory.

ah!Forgot something.Soldiers, weapons, logistics, you and I are all there, no.

And the captured local boyar organized the remaining Turkish soldiers, pretending that this place was not breached.

······
Maria, do you think it's time to choose a suitable wife for little Alexander?Ekaterina proposed to hold Grand Duke Constantine and Maria Feodorovna sitting next to her.

Mother, I must remind you that little Alexander was only ten years old, and even half a month later, he was only ten years old.After listening to Ekaterina's words, Paul forcibly pulled his attention away from the rubber soldier model in his hand.

I don't need a reminder of what I know, Paul, and aren't you going to pack your bags and head south?Ekaterina rolled her eyes when she heard her son's words.

What's the rush? There's still time to go tomorrow.Paul replied without looking up.

Paul suddenly felt a murderous look, and when he looked up, he saw his mother's eyes that wanted to stab him and said embarrassingly: Uh, I mean, there is still time to go this afternoon.

Seeing her son subdued, Ekaterina continued to ask.Maria, what do you think.

Maria Fyodorovna thought for a while and said: Your Majesty, I would like to know why you chose a wife for Alexander when he was only ten years old.I must know this. Only when I know the reason can I give a reasonable answer to your question.

Ekaterina liked Maria Feodorovna's answer very much, and then she stared at her son who was obsessed with model soldiers and said: Paul, look at your wife, you have been married for almost 11 years, are you Didn't learn a thing from your wife.

Paul, on the other hand, put down the model soldier in his hands very roguely, and said badly: Yes, yes, yes, I didn't learn, I didn't learn.

Then he looked to his wife for help.

Alright, alright Your Majesty, please answer my question.Maria Feodorovna continued to ask Ekaterina after receiving the look from Paul asking for help.

Ekaterina put Constantine down, straightened her body and said, "Whether it's me or you, there were some gaps in communicating with your husband at the beginning. I mean, find one earlier and bring him to Russia." If you train them earlier, you can't let the couple communicate in Russian with a foreign accent after they get married.

While speaking, he cast a look at Maria, and continued, my body has already started to go downhill, Maria, I still want to see Alexander get married under my auspices.

Maria Feodorovna listened and saw her mother-in-law gave her a look. This look seemed to say, Maria, don't forget your discomfort when you first came to Russia to talk to us.

Before Maria Feodorovna could say anything, she heard Ekaterina say that her health had begun to feel bad.

Before I could say anything in the future, I heard my husband say: Mother, you are not worrying about the front line these days, and you are worrying too much, have you consulted a doctor?

After Ekaterina finished speaking, she saw her son and daughter-in-law looking at her worriedly, and at the same time, her son said such a magical sentence, "Have you seen a doctor yet?"

After hearing this, Ekaterina covered her face, not wanting to see Paul anymore, while Maria glared at Paul and said: Your Majesty, why don't you find some more doctors.

Paul wanted to say something, but when he saw his wife's eyes, he shut up.

He understood that look very well, meaning that if he talked too much, he would be kicked out of the bedroom tonight.

Ekaterina is actually in very good health, and it is not like she said that her body has become unhealthy, but it is a fact that she is going downhill. After all, she is almost 60 years old.

Ekaterina also saw the look her daughter-in-law gave her son, and she knew the meaning of this look very well, because she herself often used it on her little lovers.

After hearing Maria's words, Ekaterina put down her hands and directly ordered: "Okay, let's settle down, Maria, let's pick a wife for little Alexander from tomorrow."

I declare in advance that the Bourbon family should not appear among the candidates. The situation in France is getting more and more difficult at present, and riots are very likely. We are currently focusing on the war with Turkey. It is impossible for a woman to conquer the empire Forces were withdrawn from the Turkish front.

After listening to Ekaterina's request, Maria Feodorovna said: I understand, since France has been excluded, how about I suggest finding a suitable candidate in Holy Rome, Your Majesty.

After listening, Ekaterina looked at Paul's appearance of wanting to speak, and said, "Paul, please say something, what's your opinion?"

Paul got permission and said: Since mother, you have excluded France, my opinion is to also kick out Austria and choose a Prussian princess.

As soon as Maria heard about Prussia, she knew something was going to happen, but it was strange that Ekaterina didn't say much this time, and the three of them began to silence Qi Ali.

Soon, Ekaterina was silent for a while and said: Maria, remember to remind me tomorrow to kick out the princesses of the Hohenzollern, Bourbon and Habsburg families from the candidates.

Paul quickly winked wildly at his wife.

Maria Fedorovna replied without looking at Paul: Yes, mother, tomorrow I will definitely remind you to kick out the princesses of France, Austria and Prussia.

Maria Fedorovna thought to herself, who told you to take me to a Prussian military camp when you took me on a trip to Prussia a few years ago, instead of going to places with good scenery? Those boring Prussian drills!
