The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Until there was no more sound in the forest, Karl X's heart when he mentioned his throat finally fell.

It was too dangerous just now. Even if these Lithuanian cavalry only make the following assaults, they will cause great chaos to the coalition forces that are changing their formations. But they didn't even do anything, so they retreated. Unable to understand the reason, Karl X can only attribute it to God’s blessing.

In fact, the reason is simple. This Lithuanian Tatar cavalry is the remnant of the one that Andrzej arranged to cover the retreat of the large troops. Although they completed the task, they lost more than half. To escape into the forest by chance is also a straggler with no intent to fight. If there is a calm and brave commander among them, perhaps they can still muster up the courage to fight against the enemy they encounter, and throw a rain of arrows. But such people have already sacrificed. The rest of the people only wanted to be able to return to the army of the Republic alive, so they chose to meet Karl X's army well without breaking the river.

"Your Majesty, we have good luck today. It seems that God is really blessing us."

Seeing the enemy flee, Prince Boguslav, who was convinced that this was God on the side of the coalition army, said excitedly to Karl X.

"That's it, my dear Boguslav. God is with us!"

Karl X knew that it was a good time to boost morale. He drew his saber, leaped his horse and raised his hoof, and shouted.

The noon sun shines dazzlingly on the tip of the knife, and the hearts of the coalition soldiers seem to be lit at this moment.

Some pious officers and soldiers knelt to the ground, praying to God and the king. The voice of "XX is with me" is endless.

After that, the coalition soldiers exploded with amazing organizational and combat effectiveness, and they quickly completed the transformation of the formation.

Twenty artillery pieces were silently moved to the hill and aimed at the bastion below, and the Polish soldiers in the bastion did not know anything about it.

Andjay withdrew the Lithuanian Tatar cavalry back to the position of the Republic of Poland army. As soon as these remnants stopped their horses, they fell off their horses. After fierce fighting and rushing to retreat, they were too tired.

Anjay was furious, he furiously flicked a whip from an orderman who came to lead the horse. When he saw that the camp was full of people who were resting and eating, his anger rose to its peak.

"Why! Why! Why don't you attack!" Anjay asked loudly. He kicked over the meal of a group of winged cavalry who were sitting around eating together, and the whip dropped like rain.

Among this group of people, a wing cavalry who was scowled by the soup raised his head in dissatisfaction. When he saw the famous Andrzej Kmicicz kicking over their food, the wing cavalry immediately respected. He wiped the soup from his beard and said to Anjay:

"His Majesty the King ordered us to rest. The order says that the enemy has begun to flee, and it will not be too late to pursue it after we have eaten and recharged."

Anjay pulled her hair frantically. He couldn't understand why His Majesty the King gave such a strange order, and a great opportunity was so wasted.

He hurried to the bastion where King Kazimierz was.

King Kazimierz realized what a big mistake he had made when he saw Andjay, who was full of Zhengchen appearing in front of him. The enemy in front of him did not collapse at all, and it was himself who really failed.

The enemy even took advantage of their misconception that they had collapsed, returning to their division and defeating the Lithuanian Tatar cavalry they had sent to attack the heavy camp.

Stanislaw Potocki, who was standing next to King Kazimierz, was also aware of the mistake. He asked a crucial question: "Anjay Kmicicz, have you burned The weight of the enemy?"

This question is very important. If the Swedish-Prussian army’s equipment is destroyed, the republic is not a failure. After all, there is no supply, and the enemy can't insist on confrontation.

King Kazimierz also realized this, he looked at Andjay hopefully, hoping to hear a positive answer.

But Andrzejy gave him a negative answer-although the Lithuanian Tatar cavalry led by him broke into the major battalion, they also lit a fire, but because of the rapid counterattack of the enemy, they only burned part of the supply.

At this time, Stanislaw Potocki heard some unusual messages from Andrzej's words:

"You said, the army of the electorate is fighting you from beginning to end?"

"Yes. The German infantry, the black cavalry, and even those who came to reinforce them later were the electors."

"So, where did the Swedes go?" Stanislaw Potocki muttered to himself.

For a while, Kazimierz's mind went blank. He thought of a very bad possibility ~www.readwn.com~ and after not knowing how long, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor. Yanush Kishka's figure appeared at the door.

"Your Majesty, there is bad news."

It was not until 4 pm that the Republic learned that a large number of Swedish troops were maneuvering to its own flank. And this information was only obtained by Lithuanian Tatar cavalry who had retreated from the forest.

King Kazimierz just woke up like a dream and understood Karl X's intention-Karl X wanted to outflank himself from the flanks. Once Karl X's plan is successful, the Republican army will be forced by the coalition forces to feed the fish in the Vistula River.

The sound of cannons from the hills awakened Kazimierz. Only then did he discover that the Polish army did not even have a single soldier on the commanding heights near the flanking bastion.

This is the mistake of the Polish army, and it is also its own.

The Swedes’ artillery bombarded the bastion continuously, and the bastion defenders in a disadvantaged terrain had no room to fight back and could only be passively beaten.

The situation reached a critical point, and King Kazimierz had to make adjustments immediately.

He quickly ordered Sapega to gather a cavalry force to round back to the side of the forest at the fastest speed, and then slam the Swedish army that was attacking the bastion on the open ground.

This proposal is in line with military principles. King Kazimierz believed that at this time the main force of the coalition forces was not firmly established, and if cavalry attacked its wing vigorously, there would still be no chance of victory.

At this time, Kazimierz, who always rejected the Polish tradition, fell into a superstition that the Polish cavalry was invincible in the world. He believed that the Polish cavalry was invincible, and there was no enemy that the Polish cavalry could not solve. When the enemy arrives, all problems can be solved by organizing an unparalleled Polish cavalry; if not, then two.
