The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

After that, the monastery carried out more tenacious resistance, and they gradually adapted to the bombardment of the Swedes. The monks in the monastery dug many small pits in the ground according to Chechen’s method. Whenever a shell fell and did not explode, they sent one of the bravest men to shovel the shell into the small pit, while the others did. Get down immediately. Although occasionally some flowering bombs exploded during the shoveling time, most of the time the flowering bombs were successfully shoveled into the small pit. This method also effectively reduced casualties.

At the same time, as the monks continued to accumulate experience in actual combat and the gunners taught hand-by-hand, their gun firing accuracy became higher and higher. In an artillery counterattack, a monk even hit a cannonball less than five meters away from the command position of Arvid Widenberg, and killed Arvid Wei. Two guards of Denberg.

In this way, you came to me for two weeks. As the snow in winter got bigger and bigger, Alvid Wedenberg realized that the weather was gradually becoming unfavorable for him. Just two days ago, two of his soldiers suffered frostbite on their feet because they did not take precautions against the cold. And as the weather gets colder and colder, there will be more and more non-combat attritions.

In desperation, Arvid Widenberg finally reported to King Karl X in Warsaw that he had directly attacked the Great Bright Mountain Monastery and sought greater support. At the same time, he ordered the heavy artillery troops still in Krakow to quickly drive to Czestochowa, and he would use the most powerful artillery fire to open the walls of Czestochowa.

Of course, in addition to deploying troops and continuing to use force, Arvid Wiedenberg also sent people to the monastery to persuade him to surrender.

On this day, a middle-aged man came to the gate of the monastery. This middle-aged man is called Ottzrovsky, and he was once a senator of the House of Lords. He has a decent manner and a face of righteousness.

The people of the monastery respected and respected a figure like Ottotzrovsky who once held a high position. They opened the gate of the monastery and welcomed the old man in.

In the main hall of the monastery, Ottzrovsky met with Dean Koldecki. Standing behind Dean Koldecki were Vice Dean Seratskov, Zamoysky Knight, and Natalie. Chechen and Father Spasokukotsky are not there, they are still on duty outside.

"At this time of the monastery's crisis, Ottzrovsky, you can not avoid Yashi to come to help us and bring precious news outside, I am really grateful."

The dean expressed his gratitude to Ottowski.

Hearing the dean's words, Ottowski's eyes rolled, and then he burst into tears.

"There is no hope, there is no hope." Ottotzrovsky cried. He wiped his tears vigorously with a handkerchief.

"Your Excellency, what are you talking about? What is there to expect?"

Among the crowd, the Zamoyski knight was the most impatient. Seeing that Ottozrovsky kept wiping his tears, he said "no hope", and stepped forward and asked.

Ottotzrovsky put the handkerchief wiped from his tears back into his pocket.

"Your Majesty, surrendered to Karl X." Ottotzrovsky said with a weeping face.

This news was like a thunderbolt that fell on everyone's head, knocking everyone out.

Ottotzrovsky continued: "Dear priests, noble brothers, for whom are you here for your perseverance and support? You are not afraid of hardships and dangers and sacrifices, and for whom? It is for us. But now, Jan Kazimierz has abandoned the country as a shoe, and he has handed him his crown to Karl X. What you are doing now has no meaning, because the king has abdicated and the power is already That person has failed your trust and sacrifices, so I hope you can see the situation clearly and don’t act arrogantly, because you are no longer resisting the aggressor, but our legitimate King."

People listened to Ottzrovsky's grand speech in shock, everyone was silent, and the hall was silent.

Natalie Kishka was the first to recover. She walked up to Ottowski and asked, "His Majesty, did he really surrender?"

"Yes, my child." Ottzrovsky said sadly.

"Are there any abdication orders?"

"Of course there is. I wrote a copy at home. It's a pity that I was in a hurry today and I didn't bring it."

"Then who else surrendered with His Majesty the King? As usual, there should be their signatures on the edict?"

Natalie’s question baffled Ottzrovsky.

"Of course. But I can't tell you, you know, boy. There are many princes and ministers with King Jan Kazimierz." Ottotzrovsky said cautiously.

Natalie nodded in agreement with Ottzrovsky's statement.

"Then there should be Janusz Kishka's name. He is the second person to the king next to Lord Potocki. As usual, it should be written second." Natalie said again. .

"Yes, yes. There seems to be such a name. It's just behind Potots base~www.readwn.com~Ottotzrovsky pretended that he just remembered it.

Natalie's eyes burst into anger.

"You're lying!" Natalie stared at the old man Ottzrovsky.

Facing Natalie's gaze, Ottzrovsky cowered and moved his gaze to the side.

"I didn't." Ottzrovsky said hard.

"Janush Kishka is my father. He once said that even if the King surrendered, he would fight to the end for the Republic." Natalie said word by word.

At this time, the traitor finally showed a panic expression.

This expression fell in the eyes of Dean Koldecki, and the dean suddenly realized.

This is a liar who has betrayed his conscience.

"Everyone," said Dean Koldecki, "I have always believed in Ottzrovsky because he is an upright person. Now that Miss Natalie says he lied, let's verify it. Okay. Ottozrovsky, you put your hand on the foot of the crucified Jesus, and repeat what you just said."

Under the gaze of everyone, Ottzrovsky came to the cross. He flinched and stretched out a hand, but when his fingers were about to touch the cross, Otttzrovsky retracted his hand as if getting an electric shock.

Then Ottozrovsky turned around, and he walked out of the dean's office in a panic, and ran out of the gate of the monastery, as if someone was chasing him behind.

Cheerchen walked in at this moment. He had seen Ottozrovsky hurriedly run away, coming over to find out what was going on.

"What news did that gentleman bring?" Cheerchen asked.

"There is no valuable news, only a group of traitorous remarks." Natalie said.
