The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

After Cheerchen led the mercenary group to be stranded in the local area for training, it came to the ears of the leader of Sapega, the Lithuanian leader was also very interested. On this day, Sapega sent a messenger to the mercenary group to convey the commander's order to Cheerchen: Tomorrow morning, the commander of Sapega will inspect the mercenary group.

It is an extremely high honor to be reviewed by the Supreme Commander. Pidro and Bachter were all excited.

That evening, in a house in the village, Pidro and other officers in the regiment had a dispute about one thing: Are the soldiers wearing marching costumes for inspection?

Because this issue was not made clear when the messenger came to inform the commander to review it, and all the officers in the regiment were also unwilling to do so.

Fedot and others believe that the soldiers should be in a state of actual combat to welcome the commander’s inspection; Piedro and Yelisei have different views. They believe that an army should of course meet the commander of Saperga in a military parade. During the inspection, the clothes are bright and the sword is bright.

The two sides were so inconsistent. Finally, at the meeting, Cheerchen listened to the opinions of Pidro and Yelisei, and the whole regiment followed the highest welcome guidelines and accepted the review with a full set of military uniforms.

So in that night, the soldiers of the mercenary regiment kept their eyes on them, wiping the stains on the breastplate and polishing the rust all night, and washing the filth of their underwear; Yelishei and other company-level officers ordered the soldiers to report and remove them. Some old and weak people waited and told them to hide in the bushes outside the barracks not to come out.

In the early morning of the next day, the mercenary group was no longer the tired crowd in ragged clothes like the previous night, but a neatly arranged army of two thousand people. Everyone was familiar with his position and mission, and every button and Each belt is in place, clean and shiny. And it’s not only that the military uniforms on the outside are not in tatters. If the commander-in-chief wants to look inside the uniforms, he will see that everyone is wearing an equally clean shirt. He will also find that each backpack contains a prescribed amount of Lead bullets and gunpowder, as the soldiers said, "Even the dull Germans can't fault it."

At 7:30 in the morning, Sapega commanded a liaison officer to check the preparations of the mercenary group.

The liaison officer was a middle-aged official with a bright red face and black hair. He has a strong physique, and the width between the chest and the back is greater than the width between the left and right shoulders. He was wearing a light armour-clad nobleman's attire and riding a maroon military horse. The liaison officer walked from the left side of the infantry of the mercenary regiment of the four squadrons in the line. It looked like he was the commander and was patrolling the mercenary regiment. He walked slowly in front of the queue, bending his back a little, shaking slightly as the horse advanced.

After patrolling the entire mercenary group, the liaison officer turned his head. There was an inexplicable sullen anger in Chechen and Pietro in his eyes.

"Hey, Captain Cheerchen." He turned his face to Cheerchen and said, "We may be blamed."

Cheerchen and Pidro looked at each other when they heard this. They didn't understand the current state of the mercenary group, and there was something that didn't meet the requirements.

"Even if it is a military parade with the French army, no one will drive us out."

Cheer Chen was young and vigorous after all, he said to the liaison officer unconvinced.

"Cheerchen!" Pidro glanced worriedly at the liaison officer and reminded Cheerchen.

The liaison officer waved his hand, indicating that Pidro needn't be like this. This liaison officer is also a person who knows the goods, and of course he can see that Chechen's troops are impeccable. But what the leader of Sapega wanted the king and the marshal to see was not such a full-fledged and high-spirited corps, but a corps that was completely in a state of training and exhausted—wearing a military coat, putting on a jacket, lying on the ground, Make combat moves.

"Therefore, the worse your situation is, the happier the leader will be. Miss Natalie called me over because she was afraid that you wouldn't notice this meaning. I didn't expect the young lady to expect it." The liaison officer approached Chechen. The ear whispered.

"Natalie asked you?" Cheer Chen asked in surprise.

The liaison officer nodded.

Then he reminded Cheer Chen repeatedly to do what Miss Natalie said, and then he patted the horse and returned.

After the liaison officer left, Cheerchen lowered his head, shrugged his shoulders silently, and spread his hands in excitement.

"Uncle, we still have more than an hour. Will we have time to change clothes?"

"This..." Pidro was a little embarrassed. Time is too tight.

"I will try my best." Piedro said.

That being said, it is almost impossible for two thousand people to change clothes in one hour. It is difficult even for a thousand people.

Cheerchen also knew that such a short period of time was a bit embarrassing, and he bit his lips tightly. After a minute, he decided: "Neither the cavalry nor the artillery will change. Let the three squadrons change their clothes, and the Hessian mercenaries will go to the village."

"Can this work?" Pidro was a little suspicious.

"I can't control that much, just do as I said." Cheer Chen said. Time is very tight, and there is no more minute to waste.

So everyone changed their outfits in accordance with the command of the group leader. The five hundred Hessian mercenaries filled the village.

An hour later, the leader of Sapega and Janusz arrived at the camp accompanied by a group of generals.

Sapega and the others did not enter the village. They only watched the mercenary group's offensive and defensive against the village on the high platform~www.readwn.com~ The dusty scene of swords and guns made the leader of Sapega very satisfied.

"Good, good. Don't forget to train in the march, yes, yes." The commander praised.

Natalie in the crowd also gave Cheorchen a thumbs up. At this moment, Janusz next to Sapega noticed a detail.

Janush whispered and bit his ears with the leader of Sapega.

"What's going on!" The leader of Sapega asked Cheerchen and Pidro behind him loudly.

It turned out that Janush discovered that Chechen's soldiers' shoes were all new. The future father-in-law who loves to find Chechen told Sappega of his discovery, and the chief suspected that Cheekchen was doing a show.

Cheerchen and Pidro knelt down in front of the general leader on one knee in fear.

"Commander, please forgive me. We rushed here from Lithuania starry night, the shoes have long been worn out, so we put on new shoes for training. Those old shoes are in the soldiers' marching bag." Chechen said.

After hearing this, the leader of Sapega asked in disbelief: "Cheerchen, what are you saying is true?"

Of course, Cheerchen swears by the heavens, what he said is true and there is no falsehood.

So Sapega called a team of soldiers, and sure enough the shoes in everyone's marching bag were old.

"It's not easy for the soldiers of the mercenary regiment." Sapega sighed.

Pidro took the opportunity to say: "General Commander Mingjian, each of our group only has two pairs of shoes, and I had prepared a new pair to wear when I arrived in Warsaw."

The generals also began to whisper to each other, saying nothing more than sympathy for the mercenary group.

The day after the inspection, the leader of Sapega allocated 2,000 pairs of new shoes from the logistics to the mercenary group. The leader of Sapega himself sent a liaison officer to send two hundred Taylors to Cheerchen as a reward for his active training.
