There is a large swamp near Ponievje, which is the battlefield carefully selected by Chechen for Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky. Because of this terrain, it was possible to limit the impact of the cavalry led by Jerzy Khaletsky.

In the middle of the two swamps, Cheorchen ordered the soldiers to build a trench, and put half of the Musketeers and Pikemen, as well as the four hundred men of Bashit. Of course, such an arrangement is not difficult to see Cheerchen's intentions for the experienced Jerzy Khaletsky, but Cheerchen placed behind the trench that Jerzy Khaletsky could hardly refuse. Things-part of the supplies and money collected by the mercenary group from the Ponievie Manor. If the deputy commander of Sapega was really impoverished as legendary, the money and supplies would be no small temptation for Jerzy Khaletsky.

"Cheerchen, is this really okay?"

Seeing that the Taylor and materials Cheerchen had obtained from the manor were piled behind such a weak front, Pidro began to feel a little worried. He mainly hurt those Taylors. According to Prince Yanush's order, at least half of them would belong to the mercenary group, that is, himself and his nephew.

"Don't worry, uncle, there will be no problem. We have fought with the infantry of the Polish army in Smolensk and Polotsk. The combat effectiveness of their infantry and cavalry is simply the same in the sky and the underground. As long as we follow the method Chris gave us and eliminate the colonel's infantry first, even if they have more cavalry, they will not be able to play a number advantage in such a terrain." Chechen said vowedly.

"Who did you say that gave us the solution?" Pidro was a little confused. He always thought that this was a strategy Cheer Chen came up with.

"Chris, this is the one we rescued from Boguslav. She left some books for Ingrid before she left and asked Ingrid to give it to me. My current arrangement is based on those books. Way to deploy the formation." Cheer Chen explained.

Pidro had no idea that his nephew would want to rely on reading to defeat two or three times more enemies than himself, and this book was not written by a major military strategist. He turned to persuade Chechen to give up unrealistic ideas, and take as many Taylors as he wanted everyone to take. The rest was burned, and then everyone went to the forest to escape for a while and could escape. How much is how much. Wait for Jerzy Khaletski to leave here with his men before going out to Werner.

But Chechen was surprisingly tough this time. He didn't listen to Pedro's persuasion and must fight Jerzy Khaletsky here.

When the soldiers inserted the last barred horse into the soft soil, the Fatima who was responsible for bringing Jerzy Khaletsky and his troops here sent a report to Jerzy Khaletsky. The colonel with two hundred and fifty cavalry and fifty infantry was less than ten miles away.

Although Cheerchen had long expected that Jerzy Khaletsky's troops would be mainly cavalry, there would be some infantrymen, but such a disparity in riding-to-step ratio was far beyond Cheerchen's expectations.

"Fatima has anything else you want to bring back?" Cheerchen asked the scout riding on the horse.

"There are still 20 winged cavalry among the enemy's cavalry. Master Fatima wants you to be very careful," the scout said to Chechen.

Cheerchen nodded and said he knew it. The scout offered a military salute, then turned his horse's head and rode in the direction he came.

After the scouts left, Cheerchen ordered all the spearmen to line up before the resistance, covering the resistance behind him, and preparing to welcome the arrival of Jerzy Khaletsky's cavalry.

As for the colonel's infantry, Cheerchen has arranged for Fedot to take care of them. This is also the key to the success or failure of the battle. If the enemy's cavalry and infantry cannot be divided, it will be difficult for Cheerchen to win here.

"Polish wing cavalry charge quickly and have a dense formation. They will often penetrate my army's formation like a sharp sword. But the Polish infantry relies heavily on the Cossacks and mercenaries, and has fallen behind my Swedish infantry in combat technology. The combination of infantry and artillery is far behind by our army." Cheer Chen silently read the words in the book that Chris gave him. Although the book is estimated to be thirty or forty years away now, he I still hope that the knowledge in there will work.

In the distance, there was a blast of gunfire. It was Fedot and others who were ambushing in the forest and began to attack the colonel's team. The forest is dense with tall trees, which is not suitable for cavalry operations. To eliminate Fedot and others, Jerzy Khaletsky must send his infantry into the forest. In this way, Cheerchen was able to separate the colonel's cavalry from the infantry.

Neither Fedot nor Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky disappointed Chechen. Not long after, a group of cavalry with silver armor and high wings appeared in Chechen's field of vision. The wing cavalry of this team stood outside the range of the musket, and then kept observing the enemy in front of them. After another while, no more enemies appeared behind the wing cavalry. Obviously, the others had been dragged by Fedot.

Because Cheerchen deliberately put some Bashit's people at the front of the team, it was undoubtedly the impression of a group of weak recruits with large numbers but uneven equipment and no combat experience. However, Zygmunt and his wing cavalry have not experienced the battle between Miatelsk and the Chechen mercenary group, and they have misjudged the true strength of the group of enemies in front of them.

At this time, Cheerchen "justly" released part of the carriage full of supplies to retreat, which further strengthened the determination of Wing Cavalry Commander Zygmunt to attack.

As Zygmunt raised his scepter, the thirty wing cavalry quickly formed three columns. It's not that they don't want to expand the offensive surface, but the barrier between the two wings of the swamp forces them to put so many people in front of them. However, the commander of the wing cavalry is still very confident in defeating the enemy in front of him.

The lances of the wing cavalry are 4.5 meters long, and the spears used by the mercenary regiments facing them are only 3.2 meters. The thorns are so cold. After that, the infantry team, which is generally weak-willed, will quickly collapse. The next job is to harvest the results with the saber of the wing cavalry.

This is the experience accumulated by the wing cavalry from countless glorious victories.

But this time, Zygmunt miscalculated. Their enemies not only have long spears, but also muskets. The musketeers who were half-kneeling behind the trenches had already blown up the match string on their guns, ready to shoot at any time.

"Stay steady, steady."

Facing the winged cavalry rushing in like mountains and seas, Cheechen standing in the front row of the Pikemen from time to time inspires the scared recruits around him with trembling hands. At the same time, he slowly lowered his body. All the Pikemen acted like this.

When the Wing Cavalry was only thirty or forty steps away from him, Cheechen shouted "crouch down." All of them squatted down, their spears aimed at the front at a forty-five degree angle. The musketeers behind the trenches stood up quickly. They aimed at the high-speed wing cavalry and pulled the trigger at the same time.

"Gustav's Thunder" once again resounded on the battlefield.

A projectile fired by a musket that was nearly twice the number of wing cavalry shattered the armor of the first and second platoons of wing cavalry and knocked their horses to the ground. The wing cavalry's charge was immediately stopped.

Cheerchen originally wanted to take this opportunity to rush forward to encircle and destroy the third row of winged cavalry who had lost their impact. But the enemy's armored Cossacks and dragoons felt the battlefield, and they immediately supported them when they saw that the situation was not right. The armored Cossacks and dragoons used bows and arrows and carbine bullets to contain Cheechen and the pikemen. Several unfortunate pikemen were concentrated by stray bullets and feather arrows and lost their lives.

For thirty to forty years, although the wing cavalry of the Republic of Poland did not keep up with the times in their combat methods, some officers of the Republic did not fail to discover the shortcomings of the wing cavalry in a single charge. As one of the compensation methods, these officers gave the wing The cavalry charge is equipped with some medium armored cavalry and unarmored cavalry, this kind of cavalry armed with long-range weapons to fight. When the wing cavalry carried a spear against the Swedish army's position, the cavalry rushed forward to fill the gap between the two wings of the wing cavalry, shot sideways with long-range weapons, and then retreated like a nomadic cavalry. The wing cavalry took advantage of the short-term chaos caused by shooting. Launch a charge more effectively. The reason why they did not cooperate with the attack this time was mainly due to the terrain and the carelessness of the veteran cavalry commander who had long been unsuitable for the times.

Armored Cossack cavalry and dragoon rescued the surviving wing cavalry, and led them back to the starting position. As for the winged cavalry who died in battle, they were unable to regain them, so they had to let the bodies of their companions stand in front of the battlefield.

Taking advantage of the other party's trimming, Cheerchen felt that the pikemen had withdrawn to the back of the trench and the horse, and let the musketeers push to the front.

When Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky led the remaining cavalry to the battlefield, what appeared before him was such a miserable scene. Twelve winged cavalry and an equal number of war horses lay down on the ground. Their blood stained the ground dark red. From time to time, the horses and human corpses twitched convulsively.

"Who told you to attack without my orders?" Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky asked with a grimace.

The officers bowed their heads, not daring to look at the colonel. If the attack defeats the mercenary group, not only will they not be reprimanded, but they will be praised and rewarded. But now the attack has failed, and the precious wing cavalry has been lost.

"Where is Zygmunt?" Colonel Jerzy Halecki asked.

A frustrated officer stood up and said to the colonel: "Old Sigmund rushed to the forefront. He was beaten into a sieve by bullets."

After speaking, the officer pointed to a corpse in the distance closest to the trench.

Due to the long distance, Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky could not see the appearance of the corpse, but he clearly saw a cluster of red feathers on the head of the corpse, which was exactly the ornament on the helmet of the old man Zygmunt.

"Asshole!" Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky cursed.

I don't know if he was cursing Zygmunt or other officers.

Hearing the colonel's scolding, the heads of Paul, Archie and the other officers dropped lower.

"Dismount!" Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky said suddenly.

The cavalry is no longer a cavalry when it dismounts. The officers all looked at Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky, wondering why the colonel gave such an order.

"A bunch of idiots. Are you going to be the other's live target on horseback?" Colonel Jerzy Halecki really regretted at this time that he had rashly sent all the infantry into the forest to clean up the enemy who had attacked him. As a result, he does not have a single infantry available.

Hearing what the colonel said, the officers all obediently stepped down. They lined up in four echelons under the command of the colonel, ready to attack.

Of course, this change of the enemy was not seen by Cheerchen and others. Obviously, his opponent is going head-to-head.

Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky stubbornly dragged the battle into the war of attrition that Cheorchen was most reluctant to do.

But no matter how unwilling, Cheerchen had to face and solve it.

"All the pikemen stand at the forefront and protect the musketeers." Cheechen ordered ~lightnovelpub.net~ Next, the musketeers will act as the main force. If you can reduce the casualties of any one person, you can win one more point of hope for victory.

Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky's first wave of offensive began. The first is the armored Cossack. They hung the shield on the hand holding the bow, and the other hand opened the bowstring and threw a feather arrow at the mercenary group behind Juma.

These feather arrows clinked and landed on the armor and trenches of the pikemen in the front row. The sporadic feather arrows fell into the back row, except for some that shot through the arms and thighs of the pikemen, causing some minor injuries. They did not let the servants. The corps lost a soldier.

The musketeers' muskets at the same distance caused a lot of casualties for the armored Cossacks.

But no matter how much they lost, these armored Cossacks still charged forward without hesitation. When they entered the effective range of the bow and arrow, the bow and arrow in the armoured Cossack finally exerted its due power.

The time when the musketeers fired a shot, the armored Cossack could shoot three or even five arrows. In this era, the high rate of fire of the bow is not comparable to that of a musket.

The pikemen standing in the first row all had four or five arrows stuck in their bodies, and some unfortunate pikemen were shot through the throat and face.

Several armored Cossacks finally rushed to the Juma. They swung at the Juma with sabers and flew the sawdust from Juma's swing. The shields in their hands blocked the hatchets thrown by Basit's men.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Cheerchen picked up a spear and rushed to the front of the musketeer. It was a stab at an armored Cossack.

The spear pierced into the abdomen of the armored Cossack, but was pinched by the chain mail on his body. Cheerchen took a lot of effort to pull it out.

Inspired by the heroic fighting of the regiment leader, more spearmen rushed forward and stab the enemy in front of them with spears.
