The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

In the front position of the Church of the Holy Spirit, the leader of Sapega, Jan Sobieski, and Andrzej are always paying attention to the progress of the battle.

When the soldiers of the mercenary regiment climbed the ladder to attack the second floor of the church, the leader of Sapega exclaimed, "Hey, what a group of elite soldiers!"

Jan Sobieski echoed: "No, these are mercenaries Cheerchen hired from Hessen at his own expense. They are all veterans who participated in the Thirty Years' War."

Jan Sobieski put the emphasis on "own expense".

Sapega nodded appreciatively. He also said to Jan Sobieski: "I heard that General, why you have contributed a lot of money in regaining Warsaw? The mortar that hit the top of the church was made by your donation."

At this time, there is no reason why Jan Sobieski is not loyal. He said loudly: "For the sake of the Republic, I have no complaints even if I want to bankrupt my family."

The leader of Sapega had been ruining his family for the Republic, and Jan Sobieski's words were perfectly his appetite. The commander had a secret affection for Jan Sobieski.

At this moment, Jerzy Khaletsky, who was standing behind the commander, saw that the commander admired Chechen, and said in a sour tone: "Huh, there are no previous attacks by Prince Mihav and Lord Laziweu. He did the investigation, how could that kid break into the church so smoothly, but it's just taking advantage of his predecessors."

This remark drew the approval of a crowd of supporters of Prince Mihavu and Lord Raziviu.

Anjay was not convinced by the side: "It depends on who it is. Some of the brains are inconvenient, even if you hit the wall with your head ten times, you won't look back."

This is undoubtedly a satire that Colonel Khaletsky launched two futile attacks after his first attack, causing heavy losses.

Khaletsky's face was blue.

"Okay, don't quarrel." The leader of Sapega stopped the further escalation of the two people's quarrel. He turned his head and continued to pay attention to the battle in the church.

At this time, the Hessian mercenaries as the vanguard of the mercenary regiment had basically eliminated the enemies on the second floor, and the remaining Swedish soldiers fled to the third floor. They guarded the end of the spiral ladder and greeted every enemy who dared to climb the ladder with bullets. The mercenary group rushed several times and was beaten down.

Surrounded by Fatima and Bacht, Chechen walked to the stairway from the second floor to the third floor. On the side of the stairway, the mercenary group also captured more than 20 Swedish soldiers. They squatted on the ground honestly under the deterrence of Hessian mercenaries' swords and muskets. It was Viscount Hessen who guarded them.

"Your excellency, the church is yours." Seeing that the leader is coming, Viscount Hessian held a blood-stained halberd and appealed to Chechen.

"Viscount, this is too early to say." Cheerchen retorted with a smile. But there was not much rebuttal in what he said, because Cheer Chen was happy in his heart, and he had occupied the church so smoothly, which he had not expected beforehand.

"It's just a matter of time." Viscount Hessian said: "There is good news. I interrogated the captured Swedish soldiers. They said that the one who was in charge of defending the church was Baron Gustav Wrangel, a prominent member of the Kingdom of Sweden. noble."

Viscount Hessian meant that Cheerchen was going to make a fortune now. Because of such a prominent figure, the Kingdom of Sweden will certainly spend huge sums of money to redeem him. And even if King Carl X did not pay, Gustav Wrangel's family in Sweden would bankrupt their family and redeem the Viscount.

"Viscount, is what you said is true?" Cheerchen said with great excitement.

The reason for Cheerchen's excitement is different from Viscount Hessian. He thought of another thing, and that was the agreement he had made with Janusz to capture a Swedish general. The status of Baron Gustav Wrangel was obviously sufficient for the general level, and Cheerchen didn't expect to be able to fulfill one of the conditions so quickly.

"It can't be wrong. I asked three or four prisoners in a row, and they all said so."

"The baron didn't run away or was killed?"

"Absolutely not. First, we did not find the Viscount’s body in the corpse. Second, there are no stairs between the first and second floors. Even if Baron Gustav Wrangel wanted to escape, he couldn’t get down. ."

Viscount Hessen’s analysis gave Le Chechen confidence. He walked to the top of the stairs, tilting his head and preparing to look up.

"Be careful!" Viscount Hessian shouted.

As if in response to the yelling of the Viscount, at the moment Cheerchen stretched his head out, several gunshots came to mind in the corridor. The bullet hit the stone wall near Cheerchen, splashing piles of lime and pebbles.

Cheerchen staggered back two or three steps, and Bashit supported him from behind.

"Head, you have to be more careful." Bachter said.

"This spiral corridor can only accommodate one person up and down. Unless their food and bullets are exhausted, it is difficult to attack them by manpower alone." Viscount Hessian also said on the side.

"Can you persuade them to surrender?" Cheerchen asked.

"You can give it a try." Viscount Hessian did not answer directly.

Cheerchen came to the top of the stairs carefully again.

"Surrender, you have no hope!"

"Surrender? We can hold here until the end of the world."

There was a playful reply from the upper floor, accompanied by a burst of gunfire.

"It's so arrogant!" Fatima said angrily.

At this time, Yelishei also came over.

"Do you have any other way?" Cheerchen asked Siren ~www.readwn.com~ Yelishei said first: "If you don't mind the life and death of Baron Gustav Wrangel, Rausch, I suggest Blasted the third floor with explosives and sent them all to the sky."

"Do not!"

As soon as Yelishei's voice fell, Viscount Hessian let out a cry from his soul, desiring money.

Cheerchen didn't agree with this suggestion either, because he still wanted to capture Baron Gustav Wrangel alive. But Yelishei's method inspired him.

You don't need to blow it up, but you can use explosives to scare the enemy upstairs.

The soldiers of the mercenary regiment began to carry barrels of gunpowder.

"You guys, put the gunpowder there."

"You guys, put this barrel over there. Yes, use a wooden pole to hold it up against the roof."

A loud command sound reached the third floor.

The enemy entrenched on the third floor finally reacted.

"Hey, downstairs. What are you doing?" someone shouted.

"Send you to the heavens to see God."

Upstairs was silent for a while.

"You are lying to us. You don't get nothing if you blow up the church."

"We have the second floor and the first floor, and what are we going to do on the third floor. Anyway, we can't attack it, so are you keeping you and the Swede on the city wall inside and outside to attack us?"

Hearing this from downstairs, the remaining Swedish soldiers on the third floor became scared.

"Slow down, friends. Slow down. We can talk."

"What are you talking about?"

"We are willing to surrender the church, but you must let us and those captured by you into the city. Remember, we are not surrendering."

There was no reply downstairs for a while. Just as the Swedish soldiers waiting upstairs were anxious, a voice finally came.

"Agree, you come down. We can let you into the city."
