(для привлечения внимания)
On 15-18 May 1654 three Muscovite army groups invaded Lithuania. V. P. Sheremetev’s Army Group North, about 15,000 men out of Novgorod, Pskov, and Velikie Luki, marched against Nevel’, Polotsk, and Vitebsk; A. N. Trubetskoi’s Army Group South, another 15,000 troops out of Briansk, advanced towards Mstislavl’, Orsha, and Smolensk. The largest force, the 41,000-man Army Group Center, marching from Moscow against Dorogobuzh and Smolensk, consisted of Great, Vanguard, and Rear Guard corps under Ia. K. Cherkasskii, N. I. Odoevskii, and M. M. Temkin-Rostovskii and the elite Tsar’s Corps under the personal command of Tsar Aleksei. Foreign formation cavalry and infantry comprised a large proportion of these forces, particularly in the Tsar’s Corps, and Tsar Aleksei even had a regiment of Polish-model hussar lancers. The artillery taken into Lithuania reportedly exceeded 4,000 guns. Jakob Kettler, Duke of Courland, observed, “No one has such an army.”
