The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 201: end

The temporary retreat of Jerzy Khaletsky does not mean the end of the fighting. After retreating to the starting position, the colonel gathered everyone together. This time the confrontation caused the colonel to lose 37 cavalry. Excluding Paul's dragoons sent by the colonel to the rear, the only cavalry available to Jerzy Khaletsky was the number one hundred and ten. But Jerzy Khaletsky still didn't give up. Like a gambler who lost his eyes, he decided to wait for Paul's dragoons to join him before launching another attack.

The colonel has this heart, but his subordinates are not willing to go to death with him anymore. They elected several nobles as their representatives and blatantly defied the colonel's orders. Jerzy Khaletsky was furious. He swung his saber several times and yelled at him, and threatened to give these guys who disobey the order a look, but everything was useless. The two nobles who were recommended by the soldiers stunned the colonel while the colonel was unprepared. Then led the cavalry began to retreat.

This action happened entirely in front of Aceh's eyes. But the colonel's subordinates had no choice at all. At the beginning of the soldiers' disobedience, he was already regarded as an enemy by his subordinates. If he dared to act rashly, he would definitely end up not much better than the officer.

Halfway through the retreat, the remaining armored Cossacks merged with Paul's dragoons. Paul's dragoons are well preserved, they only exchanged fire sporadically with the mercenary group on the edge of the forest. But those enemies fled into the forest after a few shots. Paul saw people flashing in the forest from time to time. He was worried that there would be ambushes in the forest. He would follow the footsteps of the entire infantry and did not dare to enter the pursuit. In fact, Fedot and the others have experienced a fierce battle. Although they have won the battle, their physical strength and ammunition are exhausted, and they can only rely on suspected soldiers to deter Paul.

Paul lost his instinct when seeing Colonel Jerzy Khaletsky lying on his horseback and asked in a panic, "Archie, what's the matter with Colonel?"

Before Archie had spoken, an armored Cossack stepped forward and replied: "The colonel is crazy. He has lost the battle and will continue to die with us. We had to stun him."

Paul recognized this armored Cossack. He was a nobleman from Brest, and he was a member of Parliament called Katzpel.

"You are a rebellion." Paul exasperated.

"We just don't obey the wrong order, and this is the unanimous opinion of the soldiers." Katzpel said boldly.

"Traitor!" Facing Katzpel's "sophistry", Paul's voice was almost squeezed out between his teeth. The dragoons behind him also raised their carbines and aimed them at their former colleagues.

The armored Cossacks also drew knives, erected shields, raised bows, and arrows without showing any weakness.

Seeing that the two sides wanted to meet each other, Yaqi quickly stood up. He suggested that everyone calm down and put this aside beforehand. When they returned to Vizh, the deputy commander of Pavel Sapega was able to distinguish the right from the wrong.

This proposal was unanimously endorsed by Katzpel and Paul. Both sides put away their weapons, then walked into two rows clearly and retreated along the road in the direction of Viri.

On the other side, Chechen's mercenary group and Bashit's men are also cleaning the battlefield. Because he didn't know whether the enemy would come back again, Cheer Chen arranged a hundred people on duty on the original fortifications, while others rescued the wounded and carried the bodies of the dead.

More than half of the mercenaries died in team battles, and everyone else was injured. But Basit’s people suffered heavy casualties. Just a few waves of arrow rain from the armored Cossacks caused 67 people to fall on the ground. Coupled with the previous and just losses on the forest road, the refugees paid 120 lives.

"Head, there are still a few survivors here, how to deal with it?"

It turned out that when a mercenary was carrying the corpse, he found that several armored Cossacks still had aura, so he quickly asked Chechen for instructions.

Cheer Chen quickly went over to check it out. It turns out that most of these undead armored Cossacks were hit by flail in their helmets, and their heads were shaken and they passed out.

For these people, Cheorchen ordered the mercenaries to take care of all their weapons and armors. In order to prevent Bashit's people from killing captives indiscriminately because of hatred, Chechen also offered a high reward, and found a captive and gave it to the mercenary group for twenty Taylors.

Under the heavy reward, four captured Cossacks in armor were handed over to Chechen one after another. Before being handed over, all the belongings of these soldiers had been exploited by the refugees, and Cheechenye could only choose to let it go.

When the sun was about to set, Fedot, Yelisei, Fatima and others finally returned. They brought news that Jerzy Khaletsky’s cavalry had retreated. At this moment, everyone can finally enjoy the taste of victory with peace of mind.

In the night, Father Spasokukotsky dragged his tired body to celebrate a mass for all the soldiers who died in battle. May these dead souls become brothers again in heaven.

Next, it was a routine celebration after victory. This time the battle has already caused the mercenary group to be wounded. Almost everyone has friends or brothers who died on the battlefield. So Cheor Chen announced that all soldiers who were alive would receive a bounty of fifty Taylors~lightnovelpub.net~ The families of those mercenaries who died would receive one hundred Taylors; and Ingrid moved all of them out of the quarters. Let the soldiers who participated in the battle drink freely.

Wine can make people forget the pain temporarily, and money is a reward for everyone's brave fighting.

"Uncle, you take two thousand Taylors from the quarters and send them to Chief Bachter."

In the joyous crowd, Cheerchen found Pidro and said to him.

At this time, Pidro was wearing a winged cavalry armor that was stripped from a certain dead winged cavalry, playing the role of a "fat angel" in a vivid manner, and his naive manner made everyone laugh.

"Give so much?"

Of course Pidro knew that Bacht's people were dead or injured, and if they hadn't drank Chechen at the end, they would have accounted for it. But when he took out two thousand Taylors at once, he was still in pain. But he also complained about this, and then went to Ingrid to fetch the money and send it to Bacht without saying anything.

After dealing with these two things, Cheer Chen felt that he could finally rest. But at this time, Ki Ayan was responsible for finding it.

"Hi, old manager. Ye'an." Cheerchen said hello.

"Good night to you, Captain Chechen," said Ki Ayan. After that, the old man hesitated a little. After a while, Cheer Chen understood.

It turned out that Kiyan saw that the mercenary group had finished the battle, and wanted Cheerchen to fulfill his previous promise and let their father and son leave.

Cheerchen certainly has no opinion on this point.

"So old man, where are you going?" Cheerchen asked casually.

"We are going to Königsberg. I also have some contacts there. There is no problem in doing some business. If God gives me another ten years, I will be able to earn more wealth than in Ponneville." The old man laughed. Replied.
