The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 223: Battle of Lidar Castle 3
The army of 12,000 people is already considered to be one-half of the army currently controlled by Prince Yanush. It seems that Yanush is really angry this time.
"I must live up to your expectations of the Prince and lead Sobieski to you like a dog." Alexander Okinski said excitedly.
In response to Alexander's statement, Yanush nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Fyodor Obukhović also asked the prince to fight: "His Royal Highness, please also allow me to punish Sobieski with General Alexander."
Feodor received a different look from Prince Yanush because he took refuge in Yanush at the banquet that day, but he was always depressed. Although Yanush gave him a high courtesy, he didn't give Feodor any real job. And his poor performance in Smolensk made him notorious among the nobles of Werner, although no one would say in front of him because of Feodor’s identity, but he was pointing to Feodor. It's still much heard.
As a result, Feodor urgently needed an opportunity, an opportunity for the prince to entrust him with an important task, and also for others to admire him.
Yanush looked at Feodor's eager expression, a feeling of disgust rose in his heart.
"This guy has defeated his family business and wants to defeat me?" Yanush couldn't help cursing in his heart.
However, on the surface, Yanush still smiled and expressed his appreciation for Feodor’s active fight, but the prince also said that he would have to deal with Sapega in Werner. If even Feodor had gone to Lida Fort, Then I didn't even have a negotiator. For the sake of the overall situation, he still hopes Feodor will stay to assist him.
Hearing what Prince Yanush had said, Feodor had to agree with disappointment.
"Do you have any comments? Cheerchen, and Victor, just now you two have not spoken, let's talk about your thoughts." Although the decision to send troops has been made and Gateman has been appointed, but In order to show his "enlightened dictatorship", Yanush asked the officers again for their opinions. And Cheerchen and Victor, the two officers who were also in the expedition sequence, were unfortunately named.
Cheerchen and Victor didn't speak just now because they had their own thoughts. Chechen didn’t want to fight against Sobieski. Father Spasokukotsky who was sent to Vizh has not yet returned. He is worried that attacking Sobieski at this time will make Mihav misunderstand him. Sincerity; and Victor is thinking of Mrs. Corff, who is really reluctant to be separated from Mrs. Corff for a day now.
"His Royal Highness, my mercenary group has just been expanded, and the recruits inside have not been fully trained. Is it okay?" Cheer Chen found a reason to stay in Werner.
Yanush was obviously not happy about Cheechen's shirk. He reprimanded Cheerchen: "Dai Bing, war is the most severe mother. Although he can't give you health and happiness, he can exercise your will and spirit. You should take those recruits to the battlefield to see, because once Fighting is worth thousands of training sessions."
After speaking, Yanush looked at Victor again.
"What about you? Victor. Are you not talking because you are as timid as Cheor Jin?"
With Cheerchen's lessons learned, Victor dare not show it even if he doesn't want to go anymore. He hurriedly clarified: "Of course not, His Royal Highness. I was just thinking about how many artillery I would need to blast the walls of Fort Lida."
"Don't worry about this. Lida Fort is not a bastion, and its 24-pound artillery is more than enough."
Hearing what Prince Yanush said, Victor nodded hurriedly, saying that he had no problems and would resolutely complete the tasks assigned by the Prince.
In response to Victor's statement, Yanush nodded with satisfaction.
No one raised any objections. At the insistence of Prince Yanush, Cheerchen and the others are about to be involved in a new war whirlpool.
And in the place that is about to become the center of the whirlpool-Lida Fort. The young Jan Sobieski is bidding farewell to the nobles who were rescued by him, such as Jan Zamois and Stanislaw.
"My nephew, thanks to you this time. Otherwise, we will be given to the Swedes by Yanus, a traitor." General Jan Zamois said gratefully. He is the lord of Lublin Castle, which is in the middle of the triangle of Werner, Warsaw, and Krakow, and its position is extremely important.
"Yes, I misunderstood you at the beginning, thinking that you are traitorous and willing to serve the traitor, which tarnished the honor of your family." Stanislaw Liantzkoronsky also said.
Other nobles and military officers also expressed their gratitude to Jan Sobieski.
Jan Sobieski smiled modestly at these words of gratitude. He said to everyone: "God can testify that my loyalty to the Republic and the Guardian Goddess has never changed. Next, I will fight the traitors for honor and faith."
Jan Sobieski had anticipated that his actions would be madly retaliated by Yanush, but he was confident that with the support of Lidarborg and Jan Zamois, he would win an unprecedented victory.
"My nephew, rest assured, we will definitely bring troops to support you as promised. At that time, we should work together inside and outside to give Yanush a good look." Jan Zamois reiterated his promise to Jan Sobieski.
"Then thank you Uncle Shi." Jan Sobieski said gratefully.
"But my nephew, we really don't need to send someone to ask for help from the deputy commander of Sapega?" Stanislaw Liantzkolonsky asked suspiciously. He still believes that the more people there are, the greater the confidence of victory.
"Uncle Saperga, deputy commander of them is in Viri, it is far from being able to quench the near thirst." Jan Sobieski explained with a smile.
Of course, this is only a superficial reason, the real reason Jan Sobieski is not easy to appeal to, that is, he does not want to share the honor of defeating Yanush with Deputy Commander Sapega and others. This is also the reason why he is willing to stay with Yanush temporarily to show favor to the people like Yuyan Zamois, rather than go to the deputy commander of Sapega.
He, Jan Sobieski didn't want to live under people. And he has almost succeeded now. By rescuing the nobles and officers imprisoned by Janusz, Jan Sobieski succeeded in drawing these people into his camp.
Regarding Jan Sobieski's explanation, Stanislaw Lianczkolonski nodded in agreement.
"Then two months later, we will see you under Lidarburg," Stanislaw Liantzkoronsky said.
"Together we witnessed the fall of Yanusz Laziviu under Lida Fort." Jan Sobieski predicted victory.
