The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Arvid Widenberg was extremely upset because he received two bad news in one day.

This first bad news was sent out by himself to spread false news and shaken the heart of the monastery’s army. Not only was he seen through, but the monks in the monastery strengthened their faith in guarding the monastery.

The second bad news was brought back by General Anders Eriksson. The general met the envoy Arvid Wiedenberg sent to Warsaw on the way and brought him back, because it was unnecessary. The general who opposed his attack on the Great Bright Mountain Monastery brought back Karl X's order, and the king ordered Arvid Wiedenberg to end the battle against Czestochowa as soon as possible.

The king wanted him to end the war as soon as possible, not because he obeyed his edict, but because during this December, the situation in the East European continent changed suddenly. First, Prince Alexei of Tsarist Russia led a large army from Pskov and surrounded Riga, the capital of the Kingdom of Sweden, with lightning speed. The governor of this city was King Carl X’s brother-in-law Magnus. De Laguedi. Regardless of the reason, the city of Karl X must be saved.

Immediately after Karl X ordered Brahe Wichensburg to lead an army with Boguslav’s 10,000 troops to return to Riga, the 40,000 Allied troops led by Pavel Sapega suddenly divided their troops, of which 20,000 were The 10,000 people left by Prince Boguslav to watch were surrounded, while the other 20,000 rushed to the city of Werner with Anjay Kmicicz as the pioneer. Here, Yanusz Laziviu’s army was defeated again, and the prince was expelled from Werner. He led the remnant to retreat to the Tycozin Castle, and was immediately surrounded by Allied forces.

In the Prussian region, the Swedish army was also strongly blocked. The Elector Frederick at both ends of the snake and rat retreated to Königsberg when the war was unfavorable, making the situation of the Swedish army even more difficult.

When the kingdom was in such a difficult time, Arvid Widenberg even claimed to attack the Great Bright Mountain Monastery where the king had issued an edict. How could this not let King Carl X be furious. It should be known that at this time, the army led by Arvid Widenberg was already the only mobile force in the hands of Karl X.

Of course, it is also inappropriate to blame Alvid Wedenberg for all the blame. Because when Alvid Wedenberg made the decision to attack Czestochowa, the war was going well. Even the Almighty God could not have predicted that in just one month, Sweden’s national fortune had gone from heaven. Falling into such a dangerous situation.

"I will obey His Majesty's orders to retreat."

Seeing Anders Eriksson, who came back from the dust, Arvid Widenberg sighed and said.

If it were not for self-esteem, the Swedish general would really congratulate Anders Eriksson: You won.

He committed such a big mistake, King Carl X must punish himself. When the time comes, he can only take over from Anders Eriksson, who has seen the situation early.

However, Anders Eriksson heard that Arvid Wiedenberg was about to retreat, and the former opponent halted loudly: "No, we should continue our offensive and take down the Great Bright Mountain Monastery!"

In order to strengthen the tone of his speech, Anders Eriksson waved his hand severely.

"But the king's order..." Arvid Wiedenberg was a little at a loss. At first it was Anders Eriksson who opposed the attack on Czestochowa. Now it is Anders Eriksson who wants to continue to attack Czestochowa. What is he doing?

As if seeing Alvid Widenberg’s question, Anders Eriksson explained aloud: "General. I opposed your attack on Czestochovana because this move would cause all The resistance of the Poles has now come true. In the village where I passed by, the Poles who had bowed their heads to us honestly began to take up weapons, although they did not attack me and my entourage, but they They looked at us like wolves. Before, they didn’t even dare to look at us directly. If we evacuated Czestochowa, the myth that our army was invincible would be broken. Those who resist us will stand up and become our enemies, because they have a successful example of resisting. All we must extinguish this danger in the bud, lay down the Great Guangmingshan Monastery, and let all those who dare to resist us know that they resist. The end of the game. Only in this way, when our large forces support Warsaw, there will be no resistance in this land."

Anders Eriksson had always advocated being tender to the occupied territories~www.readwn.com~, but in the face of the sinister situation, he quickly turned into a hardliner. In other words, whether it is soft or hard, it is one of his methods for the benefit of the Kingdom of Sweden.

Anders Eriksson’s transformation came suddenly and suddenly made Arvid Wiedenberg a little uncomfortable.

"But the order of His Majesty the King?" Arvid Widenberg hesitated.

"Now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, the road in Warsaw has been blocked. Even if we retreat now, we cannot go to Warsaw to support the king. We can only wait for winter and spring in Krakow. Before coming to Czestochowa, I have already Send people to Krakow to transfer a thousand more people, and even if they use human pushing, they must push the heavy cannon to the bottom of the Great Bright Mountain Monastery. Moreover, His Majesty just orders you to end the Czestocho as soon as possible. Wa's war, did not say what method to use." Anders Eriksson said.

Arvid Widenberg understood what Anders Eriksson meant: Retirement is also an end, and occupation is also an end.

If you can return to Warsaw as a victor, you can also gain dignity.

"Well, I have come this far anyway. This time I will listen to you. I will never retreat without taking the Great Bright Mountain Monastery!" Alvid Wedenberg also slammed.

"God will bless us." Anders Eriksson comforted him.

The Christmas of 1655 passed amidst the sound of cannons. And when the 1656 calendar turned the fifth page, at the foot of Daguangming Mountain, a large-caliber heavy cannon raised its proud head. With a loud noise, the gold leaf dome of the monastery was blasted through a big hole, and countless broken bricks fell down.

From the bottom of the mountain, it was as if the sun had been pierced out of a black hole.
