The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 243: Whose victory 1

The battle ended quickly. Except for the hundreds of cavalry who rushed through the mercenary group's defenses and fled into the woods with the seriously injured Stanisław Lianczkolonski, the 5,000 Polish cavalry were almost wiped out. Thousands of people were killed and injured, and more than 3,000 were taken prisoners. There were more than a thousand lances captured on the battlefield, and there were dozens of regiment, company and team flags. These flags are now piled up in front of General Robert Douglas.

The Swedish army and Chechen’s mercenary regiment paid a total of more than a thousand casualties. The main casualties were caused by Stanisław Lianczkoronski’s final assault. However, Douglas was satisfied with the annihilation of the cavalry group led by Stanisław Liantzkolonski on the left with such a small casualty.

"The next step is to throw these flags under Lida Fort. I believe that Jan Sobieski and the defenders in the city will see their cavalry annihilated, and they will definitely have no fighting spirit." Douglas thought.

Douglas was thinking about it, he saw Cheerchen walking towards him with the two deputy commanders Pietro and Bachter.

"Thank you for your brave fight. I don't think this battle could be won so easily without your hard work."

Before Cheerchen and the others approached, Douglas said enthusiastically. He didn't mention Stanislaw Liantzkoronsky's escape from the side of the mercenary group.

This made Cheerchen's heart full of gratitude, who was originally frustrated. Douglas would not have imagined that Stanislaw Liantzkoronsky was deliberately released by members of the mercenary group, and the instigator was Father Spasokkotsky.

This kind-hearted priest was sorrowful for the countless young lives who died today, and when he saw a group of originally young and energetic cavalry rushing to his spear forest with deathly face, he softened his heart and secretly let go. A way to let them escape into the woods. This also led to the fact that this squadron received less loot than any other squadron.

"General Douglas, this is for you." Cheer Chen took out a rag from behind and spread it out.

"This is?" Douglas stood up in surprise when he saw the pattern of the rag. And Cheerchen's words proved his guess.

"This is the banner of Stanislaw Liantzkoronsky." Chechen said.

"Good, good, good." Douglas said three good words. Although it’s a pity that Stanislaw Liantzkolonski was not captured alive, the flag captured has the same value as the captive Stanislaw Liantzkolonski. In a sense, this flag It represents Stanislaw Lianczkolonsky himself.

Thinking of this, Robert went to Douglas and secretly tore a small piece of paper in his pocket to pieces. This note was written by the general before the war. It read: "Stanisław Liantzkoronsky is now in my carriage, sent to him as the marshal." Now the above words have to be changed and changed "To the general of the invincible Wichensburg Marshal Stanislaw Liantzkoronsky."

Douglas is not good at flattering, because it's too numb. So he wrote what he wanted to say on the note.

"Head Chechen, I will truthfully tell Marshal Wichensburg and General Okinski of your merits. I believe your Prince Yanush will also reward you. You have worked hard today, take you The soldiers of the army go down to rest." Douglas accepted the banner and said to Cheer Chen.

Cheerchen took Piedro and Bacht and saluted Douglas, and then stepped back.

After Marshal Brahe Wichensburg and Okinski knew that Glass had won a big victory and received some of the trophies from his fast horse, the battle in the direction of Lidaburg stopped. The soldiers who had been attacking fiercely retreated into the trenches, and even the artillery stopped firing.

Jan Sobieski’s adjutant Jan Rukov leaned on the stack of sandbags and watched the coalition offensive position that had suddenly calmed down. At the time when the coalition attack was the fiercest, it was he with the reinforcements brought by Jan Sobieski to drive off the enemies who had already boarded the wall. In the fierce struggle, one of Jan Rukov’s ear was knocked off by a blaster, and his mouth was also cut open by a deep gap.

"Jan Rukov, are you okay?"

Jan Ruukiev, who was wondering why the coalition forces stopped attacking, suddenly heard his commander calling him. It turned out that Jan Sobieski had arrived.

"Sir, why are you here?" Jan Ruukiev asked.

A sad smile appeared on Jan Sobieski's face. He already knew the news of Stanisław Liantzkoronsky's annihilation.

"I'll take one last look at the castle." Jan Sobieski said.

Jan Ruukiev heard what Jan Sobieski said strangely, but he was waiting to ask carefully, but saw a group of Swedish dragoons with white flags coming in front of the city gate.

"What are you doing here? Damn Swede?" Jan Ruukiev cursed.

These Swedish dragoons didn't answer~lightnovelpub.net~ They dispersed, and then spread out flags under the city and planted them on the ground.

Those flags, Jan Joukev, knew all of them. They were all from the cavalry regiment under General Stanislaw Lianczkolonsky who came to support. These flags fell into the hands of the Swedes. Doesn't that mean...

Jan Ruukiev's eyes went dark, and he tried to stand still, looking at Jan Sobieski incredulously.

"Sir, this, this." Jan Ruukiev stammered.

Compared with the panicked Jan Zoukev, Jan Sobieski seemed calm. The sound of guns from the left wing disappeared, and he had a foreboding the ending.

The defenders on the wall also recognized these flags, and they gradually understood the meaning of these flags. Some soldiers staggered and fell to the ground, no energy at all; while other soldiers meditated on the Virgin Mary, hoping that the holy protector of the country would save themselves.

Lidabao fell into an atmosphere of despair and pessimism.

At this time, Jan Sobieski regretted that he had not turned to Sapega for help when he was young and energetic. His arbitrariness not only harmed Stanislaw Liantzkolonsky, but also the defenders of Lidaburg.

"Marshal Brahe Wichensburg invites General Jan Sobieski to go to the camp for dinner tomorrow." After a Swedish dragoon shouted, he took everyone and left the city, leaving only the dozens. The flag fluttered in the wind.

Attending the dinner party is just a nicer way of surrendering. But what can I do if I don't go? The morale of the defenders is gone. If Brahe Wichensburg doesn't want to have unnecessary casualties, I'm afraid he can host a dinner in the Lord's Hall in Lidaburg tonight.

"The dinner is only today, not tomorrow." Jan Sobieski said to himself.
