Lieutenant Archie withdrew his armored Cossacks. Although every soldier fought bravely in the previous battle, they were defeated in the confrontation between musket and bow and arrow, plate and chain armor, long spear and saber.

"Major, it is no way for us to fight like this. These mercenaries are obviously prepared for a long time. They chose to take this route obviously to restrain our cavalry." Yaqi ran to Jerzy Khaletski and persuaded. .

Jerzy Khaletsk couldn’t understand everything that Archie said. Old Zygmunt and his winged cavalry had their bodies face up a long time ago, even the weakest infantry. If they were hiding behind the fortifications, it would be difficult for the cavalry to have what they could do.

In Ukraine, many times the armored cavalry of the Republic (including winged cavalry, armored Cossacks and pistol cavalry) have besieged the Cossacks of Zaporozhye, but they can’t break the fortifications surrounded by carriages by the Cossacks. The time-consuming siege restricts the opponent's mobility and waits for the follow-up infantry and artillery to arrive.

But now, the colonel no longer has a single infantry in his hands, nor even the smallest three-pounder gun. Otherwise, such a simple fortification can be destroyed with a few shells.

"Listen, Colonel, the gunfire in the forest behind us has stopped."

Before Jerzy Khaletsky thought of a way, Paul suddenly reminded the colonel.

There were no gunshots in the forest behind. It may be that the colonel's infantry had cleared the harassing enemy, or it could be that all the infantry had been wiped out by the enemy. Both of these possibilities exist.

The uncertainty of the matter made the colonel upset, but he couldn't help but worry about whether he would be attacked by the mercenary group. In desperation, he had to divide the troops again and let Paul take fifty dragoons to protect the back of the team. Safety.

"Captain, what shall we do?"

After Paul left, Archie asked the question again.

"Continue the offensive. Let the soldiers move some trees and shoot at them. Your armored Cossacks throw the musketeers behind the fortifications. We will attack again when their casualties are almost done." Jerzy Khaletski said. This is the only way he can think of to reduce casualties.

Cheering, hiding behind the fortifications, saw the enemy on the opposite side enter the woods, and soon heard the sound of trees falling to the ground from the woods. Although he didn’t know what Jerzy Khaletsky was going to do, he still Let everyone be on alert.

After a while, the people who entered the woods just came out. The difference is that the two of them carried a bundle of wooden rafts one person high and one person wide tied together with four or five unpeeled tree trunks. When they were outside the range of the Musketeers, these wooden platoons were erected on the opposite side of the mercenary regiment's position.

At this moment, even the dumbest person could tell that Jerzy Khaletsky was about to let the cavalry hide behind the platoon and shoot at the mercenary regiment. Cheerchen hurriedly ordered the musketeers to shoot at the enemy behind the raft, but the raft was flush with the top of the person's head, and all the bullets hit the raft without injuring one person behind.

Soon, the counterattack of the armored Cossack hiding behind the raft came.

With the rafts to resist bullets, the armored Cossacks can shoot arrows with peace of mind. They put the arrows in the quiver on the ground for easy access, and then, with an order from Archie, all the archers shot out feather arrows at the same time.

This wave of feather arrows drew through the air and fell like raindrops on the position of the mercenary group. Because it was falling from mid-air, the soldiers on the position had nowhere to escape. Most of the musketeers and Bachit's people were injured as a result, and the positions were wailing.

Almost at the same time that the first wave of feather arrows fell, the second wave of feather arrows struck the sky and fell. This time, the armored Cossacks shot their arrows more accurately and densely. Then comes the third wave, the fourth wave...

"Quick retreat, retreat quickly."

Only four waves of blows have shaken the refugee team with relatively weak fighting will. They flee to the rear, ignoring the friendly forces around them.

The musketeers of the mercenary regiment also suffered heavy casualties. Nearly half of the musketeers were shot, and the rest barely survived by relying on the trenches and the breast wall.

"Damn, these timid guys are really unreliable." Piedro, who was clinging to the breast wall of the trench, couldn't help but cursed while looking at the refugees fleeing behind him.

"Uncle, I can't go on like this. I will lead the pikemen to destroy their wooden platoon, otherwise we will all die here." Cheerchen drew the slender sword from his waist and said to Pidro.

Pidro shook his head and said: "You are the captain, you stay, I will go. Then you take the remaining people back."

Without waiting for Chechen's consent, he took Father Spasokukotsky and more than twenty pikemen to lift a wooden board and put it on top of the horse, and then jumped out from the breast wall.

The pikemen dropped their usual spears and chopped the raft together with Pidro with the sword on their waist. Pidro's hand was so sharp that half of the sword was sharp, and he cut the rope that bound the raft with only two strokes, breaking the raft apart.

The trunks that had lost their **** fell to the ground, and the armored Cossacks hiding behind shooting did not expect that since the mercenary group would take the initiative to attack at this time, they were all taken aback when they saw the wooden platoons fall apart.

Taking advantage of this opportunity of the enemy's stupefaction, Pidro went up and slashed the head of an armored Cossack in half. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Then, the pikemen behind him also poured in from this gap, and slashed the armored Cossacks who were holding bows and arrows in their hands.

After a brief panic, the armored Cossack finally recovered. They threw away their bows and arrows, took up sabers and shields, and killed them with the mercenaries. This time, the armored Cossacks were crowded and crowded, and the mercenaries of the mercenary group were quickly forced back to the gap.

Pidro's hand swept half a sword and was blocked by two shields. The warriors behind the shield slightly contracted the arms that were tied to the shield, and then they all used force to push Pidro's hand half the sword away.

Taking advantage of the time when Pidro's old power was gone and the new power was not born, a Cossack brandished a saber and slashed at Pidro's chest. At this time, Pidro's sword pointed at the ground, and it was too late to lift the sword to block. In desperation, Pidro had to use the breastplate to take the knife.

The saber slid on Pidro's breastplate, only to cut a white mark. Pidro took the opportunity to turn back the sword and picked off the saber of another armored Cossack, and took two steps back.

"Quickly retreat!"

At this time, the pikemen who rushed into the enemy line with Pidro had fallen down seven or eight, and the injured pikemen were also helped by Cheorchen and they retreated a long way.

Spasokukotsky swung his sword to repel the armored Cossack in front of him, and then pulled out the pistol from his waist to shoot at the armored Cossack. After firing the shot, the priest hurriedly retreated to his position regardless of whether he succeeded or not.

Pedro and others who had crossed the horse took off the plank, and then fled without looking back.

Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky would not easily let the mercenary group escape. He drew his saber and waved it in the direction of Pidro's escape: "Catch me! Kill one, I will reward a hundred Tylers."
