Chapter 208: Entering the City and Audience 3
Victor and Cheorchen had another conversation and left. After allowing the soldiers to sleep for four hours, Cheer Chen and the others also began preparations for entering the city.
Nowadays, after a bitter battle with Colonel Jerzy Khaletski, the mercenary regiment has been downsizing severely. Although 50 people contributed by Tepesh have joined, the total number of the mercenary regiment is only 110. This is basically the same as the number of people in Miatersk.
In terms of weapons, the forty sets of armor uniforms of the pikemen originally accompanied by Prince Yanush to the mercenary group were all damaged to varying degrees. Finally, Cheechen picked out ten of them with a slightly damaged degree. The light ones were replaced by the ten strongest soldiers at the beginning, while the others were in uniform without armor and only in military uniforms.
As for the cavalry, the mercenary regiment gathered the usable horses and pack horses together to form a cavalry squad of twenty-five men. This cavalry will be led by Fatima and Yelishei as a mercenary regiment. The vanguard is at the forefront of the team.
"Chechen, come and see, how about my present. Tomorrow, I will bring this in the city style. His Royal Highness will definitely like it."
When he was planning to enter the city just now, Pidro gave an excuse to get out, and when he came back, he happily offered Cheerchen and the others.
Looking out of the tent opened by Pidro, Cheerchen and several other officers saw seven or eight people standing outside the camp tent. These people were naked, wearing a pair of shorts on their lower body. They were tied around their necks with ropes and they were tied into a string.
These were soldiers captured during the battle against Jerzy Khaletsky. Most of them were captured by Basit and his men in the final pursuit of the colonel.
"Uncle Pietro, are you bringing them into the city to dedicate them to the prince?"
Since there were no important figures or officers among these captives, Cheechen's original idea was to let these captives write letters back and ask their family members to prepare a ransom, and the mercenary group would release them after receiving the ransom.
"Of course. You have just heard that our victory this time is the first victory of His Royal Highness’s army. It cannot be overstated how important this is to the Prince. The Prince himself. The presiding of the entrance ceremony is just to let the world know that Yanusz Laziviu is invincible? We put these prisoners in front of the prince in front of everyone in Werner, that’s so much Give the prince a long face." Pedro said and smiled with only one slit left in his eyes.
Obviously, what he said was to make Yanush happy, and what he was thinking about was definitely the reward that followed.
Cheerchen and everyone couldn't understand Pidro's thoughts.
"It's up to you, Deputy Captain Pedro." Chechen said.
Seeing Cheerchen agreed, Pidro's even more happy eyes disappeared from the last seam. He was originally worried that his nephew would object.
Pidro didn't know yet, Cheerchen was about to part ways with Yanush after this meeting. The prince who was full of lies was no longer the hero Cheerchen had saved. As Boguslav described, his cousin only wanted to tear off the largest piece of velvet from the Republic of Poland to make his own crown. As long as he can fulfill his wish, whether it is a Swed, a Zaporozhan or a Tsar Russian, he will hand out an olive branch.
"Then just follow what I just said, let's go back and prepare." Cheer Chen said happily.
Pidro, who was in a state of excitement, did not hear the loneliness in his nephew's tone, only Cheerchen's nearest Fatima looked at Cheerchen worriedly.
In the early morning, when the sky was still light, everyone set off, leaving only the families of the refugees in the camp.
Neat footsteps sounded on the avenue leading to Werner. Around the avenue, the grass was carrying dewdrops, and a breeze blew in. The dewdrops on the grass that was bent by the wind couldn't bear the gravity of the earth, and fell on the soil with a drop.
This weather march is undoubtedly extremely refreshing. Because of the inspection by the prince, the morale of the ordinary soldiers of the mercenary group was also high, and it only took more than an hour to get to the city of Werner.
As the largest and oldest city in Lithuania of the Republic of Poland, Werner was originally extremely prosperous and lively. But after a brief occupation by Tsarist Russia, the city has long been devastated. In particular, the fire that was set when the Tsarist Russian army retreated almost burned Werner to a blank area.
Yanush led the crowd back to Werner for only ten days. Although Werner had been renovated, Chechen could still see the immeasurable loss of war to Werner from the scorch marks remaining on the city wall.
Cheerchen stopped a hundred steps away from the city gate of Werner. On the tower in the distance, Cheerchen saw a figure wearing a crown. Obviously, that was Prince Yanush Raziviu. By the Prince's side, Cheer Chen also saw many colorful people. Needless to say, these people were all nobles and gentry in the city.
"Enter the city."
Cheerchen yelled loudly. The drummers beside them beat the drums in unison ~lightnovelpub.net~Fatima and Yelishei led the cavalry to the forefront. The two of them were wearing wing cavalry chain armor jackets seized from the dead wing cavalry. The two were more willing to wear Central Asian style and Tsarist style armor, but in order not to cause misunderstanding and panic, Cheorchen asked the two to change.
Twenty-five cavalrymen lined up in two rows, and after a while they walked down the city of Le Verne.
"salute!"
The German mercenaries guarding both sides of fame raised their halberds to welcome the victor in triumph. Randomly, a salute sounded from the wall.
Then came the team led by Pidro to **** the prisoners. Although there were only seven or eight prisoners, Pedro looked like he was escorting hundreds of prisoners. He kept looking at the tower and waved in the direction of the prince.
At this time, Prince Yanush also stood up. The prince waved his hand down from the tower, which made Pidro even more excited. He thought he could show his face in front of the prince again.
Next came the pikemen and musketeers and the carriage full of military expenses they escorted. Cheerchen rode in the middle of the team. When he passed the city gate, he did not raise his head to greet Prince Yanush.
The rude behavior, whether intentional or unintentional, made Yanush's face suddenly cold when he was standing on the tower.
When the team led by Tepes came to the city of Werna, Yanusz asked Victor about the origins of the militia-like team.
When Victor mentioned that the leader of this team was a man named Tepesh, Prince Yanush's face suddenly fell cold. The prince seemed to think of something extremely bad, and he hurriedly left the tower, not even paying attention to the style of entering the city.
The other nobles and nobles on the tower looked at each other, wondering what happened.
