The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 193: No way out
After returning to Ponievje Manor, Chechen told everyone about what happened in the refugee camp, especially when it came to the fact that Renye of Colonel Jerzy Haretski appeared nearby, and there were no less than three of them. When there were a hundred people, everyone's expressions were a little frightened, and Piedro's face was suddenly ashen.
"Hurry up, hurry up," Piedro whispered. This behavior caused everyone to turn their heads to look at Pidro.
"Uncle, what's the matter with you?" Cheerchen asked strangely. His uncle is a veteran who has been a mercenary for decades. After he came to the Republic of Poland, Cheerchen had never seen him so panicked.
But Pedro's next move surprised Cheerchen even more. He pulled Fatima over and said, "Fatima, good boy. You are now escorting your head to go overnight. Whether it is to marry to Werner or Sweden, leave here as soon as possible."
"Uncle Pidro, what's the matter with you?" Cheerchen asked loudly again. He felt that Pidro was simply possessed by the devil.
"What else can I do? Run away. Do you think our mercenary group can stop the three hundred cavalry? And that's the Polish cavalry! I don't know how many wing cavalry you have. Now they have not come. , You get on your horse and run away. The money we have earned since these days has been entrusted by the Chamber of Commerce to deposit in a Swedish bank. With these documents, you can withdraw from a bank in any city in Sweden. More than 20,000 Taylors are enough for you to buy The last high title has married the daughter of another earl."
As Pidro said, he took out several large deposit receipts from his underwear pocket.
"It's not that we haven't fought against Jerzy Khaletsky's people, and they are nothing more than that." Seeing that Pidro was afraid of Jerzy Khaletsky, Chechen quickly mentioned Zamyathel. Sk's battle case tried to cheer for his uncle.
At this time, Yelishei also interjected:
"It's not the same, commander. Polish cavalry is very famous throughout Eastern Europe, and their infantry, which relies on foreign mercenaries and Cossacks to support the facade, is nothing like it. If it is three hundred infantry, even if it is only us. Your uncle will not be afraid of the more than a hundred mercenary regiments, because the weakness of the Polish infantry is well known. But their cavalry, even if not to mention the famous winged cavalry, are those dragoons and armored Cossacks. , It also makes neighboring countries afraid of the unknown."
"Are the Polish cavalry so powerful?"
Although in Smolensk saw the style of the winged cavalry led by Doronin, the battle that led to the annihilation of Doronin’s army did not participate in Chechen, so he did not know Alexey as the victor. The prince and other generals spoke highly of the wing cavalry. In his instruction system, it is absolutely impossible for the cavalry to fight against the formation of infantry. The mercenary regiment and Bashit’s men add up to more than a thousand people. Find the flaws for the cavalry, it is very possible to reach Werner safely.
"In Ottoman, Sipahi and Yeniseri together constituted the main standing army of the Ottoman Turk Empire, and they were the two major military pillars of the Ottoman Turk Empire. Yeniseri was mostly infantry, while Sipahi was mostly infantry. Heavy cavalry. To become a Sipahi cavalry must go through extremely rigorous examinations. Most of the members have received extremely rigorous training since childhood and are familiar with the use of various weapons. But even they are in the wing cavalry There is no way to fight back in front of him. And those light cavalry from Inner Asia are not the opponents of the Polish counterparts." Fatima said to Chechenkop.
"I am a Swedish. Although the Swedish army is now known as the world’s strongest army, before King Gustav, we fought with the Polish Winged Cavalry and we were defeated in every battle. In the Battle of Kirkholm, we and The Poles fought against each other. In that battle, we had more than 10,000 people and the Poles were only more than 3,000. But in the end? We sacrificed more than 6,000 people, and the Polish lost only 300 people." Ingrid also said.
"In the Battle of Hersino, the Poles dispatched more than 5,000 winged cavalry to the battle without precedent. His Majesty the Tsar assembled 30,000. But in the end, their winged cavalry lost only more than 400 men, and we lost. There are five thousand people." Yelishei also said.
Under the popular science of Fatima, Ingrid, Yelishei, etc., Cheerchen finally understood that the mercenary group will face an opponent that is not at the same level as before, and the wings in it. The cavalry has broken through the defense lines of the formed infantry many times.
"Let's go now, go now. Before Jerzy Khaletsky comes." Cheerchen said loudly.
"It's useless. Most of us are infantry. We will be overtaken by them if we don't go far. It's better to leave the time to win for you." Piedro shook his head and called the others: "Fatima, Ingrid, you are women. Go with Chechen, Fedot, you and your wife are waiting for you in Astrakhan, so go."
There was no joy on the named faces. Instead, the priest and Yelishei looked at Cheerchen and others with a smile that was not named, happy for them to survive.
"Deputy Captain Pidro, if my wife knew that I had escaped with a group of women and children, I would never look up in front of her. After my death, the captain would have to remember to give it to my wife every month. Just send a copy of the money." Fedot smiled and refused.
Seeing Fedot insisting on staying, Pidro nodded and agreed to his request.
"Why don't you ask my opinion? I am the commander of the mercenary regiment. How can the mercenaries decide who the regimental leader will stay? I want to stay, even if the Polish cavalry is so terrible, I will I need to see."
Seeing that everyone is rushing to stay, Cheerchen is willing to abandon everyone to live alone. He yelled to stay.
But even though Lipidro calls Cheorchen the head of the group in front of everyone on weekdays, UU reading www. uukanshu.com always pays attention to establish the authority of the nephew and is willing to obey his orders, but at the moment of life and death, Pedro has a different mentality. Let Cheerchen survive as his offspring and continue his only idea of becoming Pidro.
"Fatima, Ingrid, you take the group leader down to pack up, we are planning the next move." Pidro directly ordered the two.
This time, Fatima and Ingrid very obediently set up Cheechen and walked out, regardless of how the head of the group yelled.
"Ingrid, let me go. I'm the captain."
In the corridor, Cheerchen, who was dragged by Fatima and Ingrid's arms, ordered Ingrid.
"Captain, you can listen to Deputy Captain Pidro this time. Except for a peerless talent like His Majesty Gustav, no one can defeat the Polish cavalry in such a disparity in combat power." Ingrid persuaded. road.
"How did Gustav do it? You teach me, maybe we can beat Jerzy Khaletsky by drawing a gourd."
The so-called speaker is unintentional, and the listener intentionally, Cheer Chen immediately asked when he heard that he had a way.
But Ingrid shook her head.
"His Majesty Gustav's conquest in Poland, I was not born yet, how he defeated Jan Stanisław Saffinha (then commander of the Polish army) I have heard from hearsay. But..."
Ingrid suddenly remembered several diaries and books left by Christina.
"Head, are those books that Miss Chris left for you still?" Ingrid asked eagerly.
"Still, what's the matter in my room?" Cheer Chen raised his head and asked strangely. Why did Ingrid suddenly bring the topic to the book?
"Let's go and look through it, maybe there is a way."
