The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 104
The aggression of the Czar Russian army against Polotsk was so sudden for the soldiers and civilians in Polotsk. Looking at the battlefield where the two armies fought, the timing of the attack of the Czar Russian army against Polotsk was so appropriate.
After the fall of svutsk, Minsk and other places, the army of Czar Russia has been close to Werner, the most important city of the Republic of Poland in Lithuania. The commander of this Czar''s Russian army is nominally Mikhailovich Romanov Czar, but in fact it is under the command of Prince Alexei.
Against them were the Lithuanian army led by Prince yanush raziweu and the reinforcements of the Republic of Poland led by deputy commander Pavel sapega. Under their command, the Republic Army and its commanders scattered and retreated everywhere were assembled at the same time.
Although the army of the Republic of Poland has many names, its number is still lower than that of Czar Russia. The new army, led by Prince boguslav, cousin of Prince yanush, faced off with another Russian army in miatelsk fort.
As a result, the only three remaining cities of the Republic of Poland in Lithuania and lusenia were isolated. Neither Werner nor miatelsk can support Polotsk.
It was Chechen''s old opponent, Yakov cherkaski, who led the army.
Compared with the 5000 czar Russian army led by general Yakov cherkaski, Polotsk''s garrison is still at an absolute disadvantage. Along with the untrained infantry regiment of 1000 people, Anjie kemitz had only 2300 people. Among them, none of the winged cavalry used by the Republic of Poland to shock the world.
Perhaps in Yakov cherkaski''s eyes, Polotsk is dead. His army only advanced more than 20 kilometers every day, slowly like an outing.
But his opponent is not the scheming fiordo obhovich, but Anjie kemitz.
At the first moment, the young city Lord gathered his five hundred cavalry to meet the front of Yakov cherkaski.
"I think that Anjie kemitz is still too young and reckless. These 500 people want to raid the 5000 people of Yakov cherkaski. Someone should tell him the story of doronin."
In the camp of the mercenary regiment, Pedro talked to people such as Cherchen and fedot.
Chechen and others still stay in the camp without entering the city or taking any other action, which is really because of Anjie''s prejudice against the mercenary regiment. As soon as Cherchen learned from father sparso kuktsky that sparso kuktsky was waving Polotsk, the vengeful Cherchen immediately rode to the Polotsk castle, hoping that Anjie kemitz would agree to the mercenary regiment to join the battle against Czarist Russia. But he was shut in front of the borotsk castle. Anjie refused to meet Cherchen and asked his men to tell Cherchen severely where to go with the mercenary regiment.
Because of the arms and miss OLINA, Anjie and Cherchen are completely tied up. Had it not been for the enemy''s troops, Anjie would have burned down the weak mercenary regiment.
And for Anjie''s practice, Chechen also can''t understand it. It is the best policy for the weak side to take advantage of the advantages of urban defense and stick to waiting for help or fatigue the enemy''s talents. He glanced at father sparso kucktsky, who was the most learned of all.
"If the Lord Anjie kemitz led 500 winged cavalry, it might not be difficult to defeat the army of 5000 czar Russia," said father sparsokuktsky. He can think of such a great disparity in military strength between Poland and Russia, only the story of more than 5000 winged cavalry defeating more than 30000 Czarists in the battle of hesino.
"Angel has only some light cavalry, he doesn''t have any winged cavalry," interposed Pedro. On the day when Anjie led the army out of the city, Pedro looked at the cavalry in the distance. The light cavalry of 500 people and one water, each equipped with nothing but sabers, spears and bows and arrows that have almost disappeared in Western European countries.
"Unless he is Hannibal or Alexander reborn," father spasokucktsky asserted. Obviously, he is not optimistic about kemitz.
"Chechen, what do you think we should do?" Pedro asked Chechen.
"Of course. Since Anjie won''t let us into the city, we will be stationed outside the city. If Anjie is defeated and Yakov cherkaski attacks the borotsk castle, we must not let him be satisfied," said Cherchen.
Then, Chechen said his idea. Cherchen''s consideration is as follows: Prince yanush must have expected Yakov cherkaski to lead an army to attack Polotsk in advance because he left him in Polotsk. This is the prince''s opportunity to avenge himself. And the prince will not ignore Polotsk''s comfort. He will lead the army to rescue Polotsk like Smolensk. At that time, the internal and external cooperation will surely defeat Yakov''s 5000 Russian troops.
Everyone has no opinion about Cherchen''s idea. In fact, judging from the information available to the mercenary regiment at that time, this is the most "practical". No one thought that before the battle of Polotsk, the confrontation between the Republic of Poland and Czarist Russia had begun in Werner.
The leader''s will was soon implemented. All the soldiers of the mercenary regiment and the refugees brought by father sparsokuktsky soon packed up the camp and left for the city of Polotsk castle.
On the way to the castle, Cherchen met Miss OLINA bilevich. The beautiful noble lady wore a cloak and rode on a white horse. Behind her were more than 100 heavily armed riders.
"Miss OLINA, are you going to the city, too?" asked Chechen.
"Of course, Captain Chechen. I''m also the children of Polotsk. Now that the invaders have knocked down my hometown, of course I want to defend it." OLINA said loudly.
Her words aroused unanimous cheers from the riders behind her. These riders are noble warriors in the same village as orina. For many years, they have followed the lead of the bilevich family. Whenever the Republic recruits troops in Polotsk, there must be a team named after bilevich. This time, of course, is no exception.
"Mom! The Knights are coming, from the pine forest.
Ah, my destiny!
Daughter, don''t look, with your white hands,
Cover your eyes.
Or your heart will jump out of your heart,
Run with them to the battlefield. "
The Knights sang loudly and the horses rang. The two teams converged into a long dragon and advanced towards the borotsk castle.
