The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

The Tsarist Russian army’s aggression against Polotsk was so sudden for the soldiers and civilians in Polotsk. Looking at the entire battlefield where the Polish and Russian armies fought, the Tsarist Russian army’s attack on Polotsk The timing of the offense was chosen so appropriately.

After the fall of Swudsk, Minsk and other places, the army of Tsarist Russia has already "forced" Werna, the most important city of the Republic of Poland in Lithuania. The commander-in-chief of this Tsarist Russian army was Tsar Mikhailovich Romanov in name, but it was actually commanded by Prince Alexei.

Against it, the Lithuanian army led by Prince Janusz Raziwiew and the reinforcements of the Republic of Poland led by deputy commander Pavel Sapega. Under the command of the two, at the same time, the republic's army and its commanders who had been scattered and retreated from various places were assembled.

Although the army of the Republic of Poland has many names, it is still lower in number than the army of Tsarist Russia. The new army, led by Prince Boguslav, cousin of Prince Yanush, confronted another Russian army at Fort Myatersk.

As a result, the three remaining cities of the Republic of Poland in Lithuania and Ruthenia were isolated. Neither Werner nor Miatelsk Fort can support Polotsk.

And it was Cheerchen’s old opponent, Yakov Cherkaski, who led the army.

And the defenders of Polotsk were still at an absolute disadvantage compared with the five thousand tsarist Russian troops led by General Yakov Cherkaski. Together with the untrained one-thousand-man infantry regiment, Anjay Kmicicz has only two thousand three hundred men in his hands. Among them, there is not a single wing cavalry used by the Republic of Poland to mega-shatter the world.

Perhaps in the eyes of Yakov Cherkaski, Polotsk is ready to go. His army only advances more than 20 kilometers a day, as slowly as an outing.

But his opponent was not the insane Fyodor Obkhovich, but Anjay Kmicicz.

The young city lord immediately assembled five hundred cavalry under him, and went up against the front of Yakov Cherkaski.

"I see, that Andrzej Kmicicz is still too young and too reckless. These five hundred people want to raid Yakov Cherkaski's five thousand people. Someone should tell him. Doronin’s story."

In the camp of the mercenary group, Pidro spoke out loudly to Cheerchen, Fedot and others.

Chechen and others still stayed in the camp and did not enter the city or take any other actions. It was because of Anjay's prejudice against the mercenary group. The first time Chechen learned from Father Spasokuktsky that Spasokuktsky had launched his army in Polotsk, Chechen, who was eager for revenge, immediately hit the horse and headed to Polotsk Castle, hoping Andrzej Kmicicz agreed with the mercenary group to join the battle against Tsarist Russia. But he ate behind the door in front of Polotsk Castle, and Anjay refused to meet Cheerchen, and asked his subordinates to tell Cheerchen in a stern tone, let him take the mercenary group where to go.

Because of the arms and Miss Orina matter, Anjay and Cheor Chen can be said to have completely forged a beam. If it hadn't been for the enemy's soldiers to suppress the territory, Anjay would have merged with the still weak mercenary group.

Cheerchen couldn't understand what Anjieyi did. The best way is for the weaker party to take advantage of the city's defenses and stick to the enemy or fatigue the enemy. He glanced at Father Spasokuktsky, who was the most knowledgeable among the priests.

"If His Excellency Andrzej Kmicitz led five hundred winged cavalry, then it might not be difficult to defeat the army of five thousand Tsarist Russia." Father Spasokuktsky said. He could think of such a huge disparity in military strength between Poland and Russia, and only the story of more than 5,000 winged cavalry defeating more than 30,000 people in Tsarist Russia in the Battle of Hessino.

"Anjay only has some light cavalry, he doesn't have a single wing cavalry." Pidro interjected. On the day Anjay led his army out of the city, Piedro looked at the cavalry unit from a distance. With five hundred men and one water cavalry, each cavalry is equipped with sabers, spears, and bows and arrows that are almost extinct in Western European countries.

"Unless he is Hannibal or Alexander born again." Father Spasokuktsky asserted. Obviously, he is not optimistic about Kmicicz anymore.

"Cheerchen, what do you think we should do?" Pedro asked Cheerchen.

"Of course it was. Since Anjay would not let us into the city, then we will be stationed outside the city. If Anjay is defeated and Yakov Cherkaski attacks Polotsk Castle, then we will He must not be satisfied," Chechen said.

Then, Cheor Chen said his thoughts. Chechen’s consideration was this: Prince Yanush kept him in Polotsk, surely because he had anticipated that Yakov Cherkaski would lead his army to attack Polotsk. This was the Prince gave him. Opportunity for revenge. And the prince will not ignore Polotsk's comfort, he will lead his army to rescue Polotsk just like the rescue of Smolensk. When the time comes, the inside and outside should be combined, and it will surely defeat Yakov's five thousand Russian troops.

Everyone had no opinion on Cheerchen's ideas. In fact, judging from the information available to the mercenary group at that time, this is the most "realistic" judgment. No one thought that before the Battle of Polotsk, the confrontation between the Republic of Poland and Tsarist Russia had already begun in Werner.

The leader's will was quickly implemented. All the soldiers of the mercenary regiment and the refugees brought by Father Spasokuktsky quickly packed up the camp and went to the castle of Polotsk.

On the way to the castle, Cheerchen actually met Miss Orina Birlevich. This beautiful noble lady wears a cloak and rides on a white horse. Behind her are more than a hundred heavily armed riders.

"Miss Orina, do you want to enter the city too?" Cheerchen asked.

"Of course ~www.readwn.com~Head of Chechen. I am also a son and daughter of Polotsk. Now that the invaders have overthrown my hometown, of course I have to defend it." Orina said loudly.

Her words drew unanimous applause from the riders behind her. These riders are noble warriors from the same village as Orina. For many years, they have regarded the Birlevich family as the leader. As long as the Republic conscripts in Polotsk, there must be a team named after Birlevich. This time is of course no exception.

"Mom! The knights are here, from the pine forest.

Ah, my destiny!

Daughter, don't look at it, use your little white hands,

Cover your eyes.

Otherwise 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 gathered into a long dragon and marched towards Polotsk Castle. The last frontier of fire and sword
