On the battlefield in Bratislava, the army of the Republic of Poland and the Cossacks of Zaporozhye have been entangled for fourteen days.

Fourteen days ago, at the critical moment when the army led by Stefan Czarnetsky was about to take Bratslav, the main force of Zaporozhye Cossack, led by Khmelnitsky, appeared in The rear of the Republican army.

The direction the Cossacks came to obscured the sky, and nearly 200,000 Cossacks and peasants came to the battlefield in Bratislava. They drove cattle, sheep and carriages, with all their belongings, not so much as a war, but more like a fair.

In the eyes of professional soldiers like Stefan Czarnetsky, this is a mob, even if it is more than one hundred thousand, it is not enough. However, the king and the leaders were shocked by this huge army. They shrank the army timidly, and all assembled on the west side of Bratzlaff to meet the enemy. This is tantamount to giving Bratzlav, which is readily available, to the Cossacks again.

Stefan Çarnetski was not reconciled, but he still obeyed the king's orders. But the commander of Zbaraj Fortress, Jan Skrzeduski, who was as unwilling as the Lviv General Army, was not so lucky.

The hero of Zbarazh and Bao Hong have a **** feud, and they both want to kill each other. This time, he was the closest to this opportunity. For the first time, this self-disciplined soldier disobeyed the king's order and did not lead his troops to evacuate. Instead, he commanded the soldiers under him to charge the castle more violently.

Unfortunately, the heroic Jan Skrzeduski did not fulfill his long-cherished wish. When he was about to make a face-to-face break with Bao Hong, reinforcements led by Maxim, the Cossack leader, also entered Bratislava. Under the front and back attack of the two Cossack armies, Jan Skrzeduski was captured and became the first senior officer to be captured by the Zaporozhye Cossacks.

The capture and annihilation of Jan Skrzeduski was a great blow to the military spirit of the Republic of Poland. Although Jan Skrzeduski took advantage of the enemy's negligence to escape from the prison, the end of the annihilation of the entire army still led to King Kazimierz's more fear of the enemy.

In the next ten days, the army of the Republic of Poland voluntarily gave up the initiative on the battlefield, allowing the Cossacks to attack them at any time and any place.

Stefan Çarnetski offered several times to lead the winged cavalry to launch a counterattack, but they were all rejected by King Kazimierz.

"My most loyal general soldier, I know you are eager to fight, but it is not the time yet. The failure lessons of Huangshuitan and Corzon are too profound. We must have absolute certainty before attacking."

The "absolute certainty" referred to by King Kazimich refers to the support of the Khan.

After Khmelnitsky led the army to rescue Bratslav, the ***Gley Khan of the Crimean Khanate commanded all the "bye" (Crimea etc.*** The official title of the country) entered Ukraine.

***·Glei Khan did not help Khmelnitsky, nor did he help the Republic of Poland in the letter he once sent to King Kazimierz. The herders of Crimea just looted and trafficked people to Kafa in Ukraine. This is also one of the reasons why Cossack leaders such as Khmelnitsky led such a large army to support Baohong, because only when people are allowed to act with the Cossacks of Zaporozhye can they be safe.

The ambiguous attitude of *** Grei gave King Kazimierz hope-the king believed that the Khan could be bought.

This is not without precedent. In the siege of Zbaraj, it was Khan’s defiance that contributed to the withdrawal of the Zaporozhye Cossacks.

King Kazimierz sent an envoy to *** Glei to express his desire to form an alliance.

***Gley replied, and he offered the Republic an alliance condition of 200,000 Taylors. Kazimierz wanted to agree. Because as long as the Cossack army in front of you is eliminated, the war in Ukraine can be completely settled. Two hundred thousand for a Ukraine, this sale is still a good deal for the Republic.

But as a republic, the king does not have the power to levy taxes. This power belongs to the parliament. Kazimierz could only send *** Glei's letter to Warsaw for discussion by the parliament.

As a result, the alliance was dragged down again.

The only thing that made Kazimierz feel gratified was that his cousin, King Karl X of the Kingdom of Sweden, wrote back willing to help the Republic and sent rations.

Because of this, the defense line proposed by Stefan Çarnetskiy was left idle after less than one-fifth of it was built, and the militia groups that had been assembled were also disbanded due to busy farming.

The Parliament has always spared no effort to support things that can save money.

During the period, even if Stefan Çarnetski repeatedly proposed that the line of defense must be built and more perfect, but it was like a mud cow like a sea, and there was no news.

Finally, Stefan Czarnetski’s prophecy came true unfortunately~lightnovelpub.net~ The Kingdom of Sweden passed the resolution to invade the Republic of Poland on July 10, and the Swedish army passed it on July 21. National lines of the two countries.

With the two territories of Poznan and Kalisz coming down without a fight in front of the mighty Swedish army, the door for Karl X to invade Warsaw, the capital of the Republic of Poland, has opened. The Republic of Poland has finally drawn a dangerous situation embarrassed on all sides.

When the news reached the front of Bratislava, King Kazimierz held the final imperial conference.

At the meeting, nobles such as Stanislaw Potocki led the hearts of the people. The nobles with territories near Warsaw and Krakow urged to retreat. On the contrary, those nobles whose territories are in Ukraine, their territories have been invaded for seven years, and they are eager to fight back every day.

"Your Majesty, the regions where Warsaw and Krakow are located are the essence of our republic. Our country's ability to confront the Cossack Emirate and Tsarist Russia on two fronts depends entirely on the two places. Only by keeping Warsaw and Krakow can the republic be able to survive. It's too critical."

At a critical moment, Stefan Çarnetski put forward his insights. This general soldier invited himself to Krakow to serve as the general soldier to defend against the offensive of the Swedish army. The city’s original soldier was General Stanislaw Potocki. Seeing that someone voluntarily exchanged with himself, he couldn’t ask for it, so he immediately agreed with Stefan Czarnetsky.

The final result of the meeting was that Stefan Czarnetski served as the defense of the Kraków General Corps, while Jan Skrzedowski returned to Zbaraj to block the pursuit of the Zaporozhye Cossacks. King Kazimierz led his army back to defend Warsaw and repelled the Swedish attack.

Following the "great plague", the "great flood" is about to invade this road.
