The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

It was an army led by General Stanisław Liantzkolonsky who rushed to Lida Fort. This army has 8,000 people instead of the tens of thousands that Tepesh said to Chechen. Although the number was not as large as the Prince's Army led by Ojinsky, and the arrival time was nearly a month late, it has gathered all the soldiers and horses that Jan Zamois and others can send.

Because during the period when Janusz sent troops to Lidaburg, the situation of the war between the Republic of Poland and the Kingdom of Sweden in other places changed again.

This is also the reason why King Kazimierz, who was far abroad, was eager to reach an armistice agreement with Tsarist Russia-that was the fall of Krakow.

As the ancient capital of the Republic of Poland, Krakow has a political status equal to that of Warsaw. And because of the Great Bright Mountain Monastery in Czestochowa nearby, the religious meaning of Krakow is much higher than that of Warsaw. This is why Stefan Çarnetsky will ask the king to appoint him as the Krakow army as soon as he hears the news of the Swedish invasion. However, even though such a significant city had a famous celebrity, it still surrendered after several months under the attack of the Swedish army.

Stefan Çarnetskiy led the disarmed thousands of soldiers and soldiers to withdraw from Krakow after protecting the lives of all officers and soldiers and protecting the property of the people in the city. They will be supervised by the Swedes for three months, and they will not be able to leave freely until the 90th day is over, during which time they will not be allowed to fight against the Swedish army and its servants.

When Arvid Widenberg, the head of the Swedish army, led the army into Krakow on October 7th, Lublin, located between Krakow, Warsaw and Werner, is likely to become the Swedish army. The next goal. In such a severe situation, it is not easy for Jan Zamois to send troops to support him.

This 8,000-man army broke through the southern encirclement of the Prince’s Army as soon as it arrived at Lida Fort. They and the defenders in the city were at one point. In order to prevent the scattered troops from being destroyed by each, Ojinsky. Also hurriedly gathered all the troops together.

The original siege turned into a confrontation between two armies of almost the same number. This was not only beyond Ojinsky's expectations, but also beyond the expectations of Jan Sobieski.

In Jan Sobieski’s plan, he had anticipated that Yanush would not send all his troops to attack Lida Fort in order to defend Werner and deal with the deputy commander of Sapega. There will be no more than 15,000 people at most. Stanisław Liantzkolonsky and Jan Zamois were able to send at least 20,000 reinforcements. These reinforcements, together with the defenders of Lida Fort, fought a fierce battle for more than a month. The tired teacher, that is still very sure.

So at the beginning, Jan Sobieski did not implement resolutely to clear the country, he just kept enough food for the defenders of Lida Fort and the residents who retreated into the city for four months.

But people are not as good as the sky. Now that there are more than 10,000 mouths inside and outside Lida Fort to eat, Ojinsky put on a look of standing by and waiting for help, resolutely not to fight him. Jan Sobieski could not allow these 10,000 people to attack the same number of defenders with fortifications. He could only bite the bullet and continue confrontation with Ojinsky’s army, hoping that the other side would be ahead of him. Consume the food by yourself.

As a result, for most of the next time, the contest between the two sides became a competition for the missing fish supplies. The armoured Cossack cavalry and Hungarian light cavalry in the Prince's Army swept through the defense zone that had been carefully inspected the day before. The Tatar cavalry of Jan Sobieski’s camp almost repeated the same thing. The cavalry on both sides often met unexpectedly in the hungry, and then burst out short and fierce fighting. But no matter which side is beaten by the opponent, it can't affect the situation of the battle. The entire Lidarburg area had been hit by a military disaster when Ojinsky marched, and now they have been devastated by them.

And similar plots will continue to be staged in the next ten years. Eventually, the affluent areas of Poland, large and small, were turned into a thousand miles of land.

Now, it is no longer good weapons and sufficient forces that can guarantee the victory of one side. Okinsky urged Werner’s base camp three times a day to transport materials over long distances. On the most occasion, Yanush sent ninety-nine livestock and two hundred loaves of bread to the front of Lida Fort.

On Jan Sobieski's side, he is definitely not sitting in the air, without any foreign aid. Like the earliest prince’s army, nearly a thousand accompanying army dealers and Stanislaw Liantzkoronsky’s troops came to Lida Fort. Their stock of trucks became a hot product during the battle. Some Armenian merchants with more means even tried every means to import grain and meat from occupied areas such as Swudsk, earning high returns. However, this kind of commercial act of sending charcoal in the snow is a drop in the bucket for thousands of troops~www.readwn.com~ Besides, in the long camp, in addition to the soldiers, there are refugees driven by Ojinsky and residents of the city.

This sit-in battle continued for another month, and it was late autumn in a blink of an eye, and the two sides could no longer hold on to it. Prince Yanush put aside his noble dignity and asked King Karl X for help, begging him to send troops to support Lida Fort, and Jan Sobieski had also learned about Pavel Saperga’s promotion to command. He knew that he The effort to subdue Sapega by virtue of his military exploits has failed, so he put down his arrogance and asked for help from the current Lithuanian commander.

But these things had little impact on Cheerchen now, or they hadn't been affected yet. He is now annoyed by another thing. The cause of the incident was that Father Spasokukotsky came back. The reason why the priest came back so late was because he was kidnapped by bandits and he didn’t talk to Mihau and the others. contact with.

This is of course a lie told by Father Spasokukotsky, but in reality it is also dramatic that Father Spasokukotsky can escape and return.

Originally, Pidro did not expect that the war against Lida Fort would be so protracted, and he only gave the family that held Father Spasokukotsky two months of money. But two months passed in a blink of an eye. At first, the family expected Pidro to continue to send money, but in the second month, when Pidro still did not send the money, the family no longer bears the burden. "Take care of" Father Spasokukotsky's task. They threw the priest out a few blocks in a dark night and fled on their own.

Poor Father Spasokukotsky was found and rescued by soldiers on the street the next day. When it was learned that the battle in Lida Castle was not over yet and that Chechen and the others were still on the front line, Father Spasokukotsky hurried over with the food transport convoy.
