The army of Grand Duke Mikhail, marching from Kazan to Mosk.

From Kazan to Mosk there is a railway connection.

This allowed the army of Grand Duke Mikhail to directly requisition the railway and use it to transport the army.

In this way, hundreds of thousands of troops will be able to reach Mosk from Kazan in a few days.

Similarly, Grand Duke Nicholas was mobilizing troops to approach Mosk. A large number of troops took the train and advanced towards Mosk.

Because Grand Duke Mikhail is a little further from Mosk.

Therefore, when Grand Duke Mikhail’s army arrived on the outskirts of Mosk, Archduke Nicholas had already led his army into the city of Mosk. The entire Mosk is already under the control of Grand Duke Nicholas.

On the afternoon of May 14, 15 infantry divisions and ten cavalry brigades under Grand Duke Mikhail gathered in the area of Noginsk, east of Mosk. Given that Mosk had already fallen into the hands of Archduke Nicholas, Grand Duke Mikhail did not order to continue advancing to the west, but to deploy in place in this generation area.

“Your Excellency, Grand Duke Nicholas’s army has taken the lead and has already taken control of Mosk. If he holds on to Mosque City, then we will have to prepare for urban street fighting. In this case, I am afraid that it will consume more time and pay more losses! Lieutenant General Brushilov furrowed his brows tightly.

Since ancient times, urban street battles have been the most brutal. Moreover, for the attacking side, it will be very disadvantageous.

The defending side can use the streets and other buildings in the city to block the attacking side.

The attacking side, on the other hand, needs to fight with the defensive side little by little to seize the city.

Moreover, the firepower advantage will be greatly reduced in street battles. This undoubtedly further weakened the superiority of Grand Duke Mikhail’s army.

“How could Grand Duke Nicholas not hold out? Don’t forget, he has an absolute superiority in military strength! In addition, he did not want the war to drag on. In that case, it would also be very detrimental to him. After all, I am the rightful first in line to the throne! Grand Duke Mikhail shook his head.

“Besides, Grand Duke Nicholas doesn’t want the city of Mosk to be destroyed in the war. In that case, the losses to the Russian Empire would have been even greater. Grand Duke Mikhail continued.

Lieutenant General Brushilov nodded repeatedly, believing that Grand Duke Mikhail’s words were very reasonable.

“Send someone to send a letter to Grand Duke Nicholas inviting him to fight a decisive battle outside the city. Tell him that we will decide the winner through this battle. If I win, then I will inherit the throne and become the tsar of the Russian Empire. If he wins, I will surrender the military power and no longer oppose the succession of Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna to the throne! Grand Duke Nicholas is a rather proud man, he will definitely not refuse! Grand Duke Mikhail ordered.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Lieutenant General Brushilov replied.

Subsequently, the messenger of Grand Duke Mikhail went to Mosk and delivered his letter to Archduke Nicholas.

Being able to occupy Mosk before Grand Duke Mikhail made Grand Duke Nicholas very proud.

In his opinion, he not only has a huge military advantage. At the same time, it also has a strong city in hand. It can be said that he already has a very big advantage in this battle. In this battle, he is in control.

After receiving the letter from Grand Duke Mikhail, Grand Duke Nicholas did not take Grand Duke Mikhail seriously.

“Your Excellency, shall we accept the challenge of Grand Duke Mikhail?” Grand Duke Agleni asked.

“Of course! Mikhail is nothing more than a little brat. He actually wants to start a decisive battle with us, it is simply bold! Does he still think he will have an advantage?

However, it is naturally best to be able to win the battle without destroying Mosk! In this way, it can not cause greater losses to the empire, and it can also end this war in the shortest possible time. ”

Grand Duke Nicholas looked contemptuous.

“Tell Mikhail that three days later we will have a decisive battle on the eastern outskirts of Mosk. Hopefully, he won’t be scared to the. If he is afraid, as long as he is willing to surrender, I can guarantee his life! Grand Duke Nicholas ordered.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Both Grand Duke Agleni and General Mirolov replied.

“Let our troops hurry up and take a break. Make sure you win the next big battles! Grand Duke Nicholas put away the smile on his face and said solemnly.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Grand Duke Agrini and General Mirolaf were naturally well aware of the importance of this battle.

Grand Duke Nicholas agreed to a decisive battle outside the city of Mosk, which made Grand Duke Mikhail very satisfied. He also believes that this time the odds are in hand.

Soon, his army was able to defeat Grand Duke Nicholas’s army and win the battle. Thus clearing all obstacles for him to ascend to the throne of the tsar!
