October 1632 CE

The Russian army that crosses the Lithuanian border in early October 1632 has been carefully prepared and is under the experienced command of Mikhail Borisovich Shein, who had previously defended Smolensk against the Poles during the 1609–1611 siege.

Several towns and castles fall as the Russians advanced, and on October 28 (the same day that the historic town of Dorogobuzh is taken), Shein moves to begin the siege of Smolensk.
