The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

The arrest of the Viscount Hessian wiped out Chechen's previous hopes, but at Fort Konotop, because everyone did not know the news, the officers and soldiers of the whole city were cheering for the victory last night.

The surviving soldiers came outside from the fortifications behind the trenches after adequate rest. They lost no time in moving the bodies of the enemy and us, collecting all possible war preparations. So people scraped away the swords, spears, muskets, bullets, armor and even leather boots left on the battlefield; at the same time, they also filled the gap with large sections of logs, wood bales, rubble, and mud. From ordinary soldiers to officers, everyone, regardless of rank, is eager to work hard.

Although the work was hard, all the defensive fighters looked radiant, and their hearts burned with hope and faith for greater victory. At the same time, Cheerchen preached that after this offensive the Russians would collapse their will and give up the siege of Konotop Fort, they were constantly mentioned. Everyone also hoped that this was true. Can become a reality.

After filling in the gap, Cheechen and Pidro went to inspect the city wall together. Cheerchen leaned out of the battlement and looked at the bodies of enemies everywhere. Both were overjoyed at the fruitful results.

"There are really corpses all over there!" Piedro said excitedly, pointing to the rubble field. "And beside the gap, the corpses are piled so high, even if the tallest person among us stands on tiptoe, I might not be able to reach the top."

"The most important thing is," Cheerchen said, "We have completely interrupted the enemy's backbone. Now I don't think the Russians can organize an attack anymore."

This time, Pidro agreed with Cheerchen's words like never before.

"Yes, it must be so. I have fought so many battles, but I have never seen an army that can regain confidence and reorganize an offensive after suffering such a big setback."

At this time, the company commander Dimochev came to Cheerchen. This company commander is also full of red light than ever before-he is here to announce the good news.

"Team leader, and Your Excellency Piedro. There is good news. My Cossack just returned from inquiring about the news from the Russians. The morale of the enemy is now unprecedentedly low, and Alexei Trubetskoy even So pessimistic and disappointed that they will quit their job. Everyone is saying that as long as you are guarding the castle, they will never want to take it. There are more people saying: "Little dad loves us, but obviously Allier Keshe and his generals are not so cute. They let his child bleed and sacrifice meaninglessly without telling the little father. This is shameless. If we are not allowed to withdraw our troops, we will eventually have to tell some prominent heads to move.'"

Hearing this, Pidro hugged Cheerchen.

"You did it again, you did it again, my dear nephew."

Originally, Pidro had secretly negotiated with Fatima, Xie Miao and others that if the Russians still did not give up taking Konotop after this attack, then no matter how determined Cheerchen was, in order to preserve Chechen’s Life, they will forcibly deprive Chechen of military power, and Fatima and Xie Miao secretly **** Chechen out of the city.

But now, this last plan is no longer needed.

The pleasant atmosphere continued into the afternoon. Due to the good news brought by the company commander Dimochev, Chechen also released all the captured Russian officers and soldiers back, and returned all the belongings.

But the atmosphere of such joy ended at sunset, because on the triangle fort, the Russians pushed out the captured Viscount Hessian.

"Captain, don't shoot, it's me!" Hessen, who was **** with his hands and feet, shouted loudly, standing on the castellation of sandbags.

Seeing that Viscount Hessen had taken refuge in the enemy, Fedot was furious. He raised the Turkish musket in his hand and aimed at Viscount Hessian: "Hessian, you traitor, I shot you down!"

"Fedot, my old buddy. I didn't betray the captain. I just wanted to live. I hid in a fellow German. I wanted to wait until the war was over. But I didn't expect to be searched by Ivan Hilko. Come out. I have to." Viscount Hessian defended himself with tears.

Fedot gritted his teeth and threw the musket aside.

Regardless of whether the words of the Viscount Hessian are true or not, he was once his comrade-in-arms after all, how could Fedot bear the heart to shoot at his comrade-in-arms.

At this time, Cheechen, who heard the shout, came down to the city wall accompanied by Piedro and Fatima. The three of them turned blue when they saw Viscount Heisen on the opposite side.

Seeing Cheerchen just across the street, the Viscount Hessian hurriedly called out what Prince Alexei wanted him to bring: "Head, the prince wants me to bring you a message:'He knows that your counterattack last night is the last Now that Konotop has run out of ammunition and food, it is no longer possible to block a blow from the powerful Russian army. But the prince is still willing to give you a chance: as long as you surrender, the lives and property of the whole city will be safe With protection, whoever doesn’t want to stay has the right to withdraw ~www.readwn.com~ It is up to everyone to decide where they want to go.'"

This is already Prince Alexei's fourth time to persuade Cheorchen to surrender. Being able to do this shows that the prince attaches great importance to Cheerchen.

Both Pidro and Yelisei looked at Chechen hopefully, hoping that he would accept Prince Alexei's condition.

After all, his hole cards have been clearly seen by his opponents, and Fort Konotop really does not have the capital to bargain with the Russians.

At this time, countless thoughts in Cheerchen's heart turned over. Among them were the expectations of Vygowski for him, and the instructions of King Jan Kazimierz to him, both the cry of the Cossacks to death, and the call from Vidava.

He had already tried his best. If it hadn't been for the Viscount Hessian to become a Russian prisoner at the most critical moment and reveal the inside story of Fort Konotop, it would have been the Russians who withdrew his troops sadly.

Cheerchen looked back at the soldiers and the chapel on the square below the city (there were hundreds of seriously wounded in the chapel that was riddled with holes), and he said with difficulty: "Please reply to Prince Alexei and say let me Consider an evening."

The Russian army officers and soldiers on the triangular fort let out a deafening cheer-Chechen's reply undoubtedly showed that Konotop Fort was indeed exhausted, and now it can be knocked down even with a little finger.

Knowing this, even if Chechen did not choose to surrender after tonight, the Russian soldiers had enough courage and conviction to take down Fort Konotup.

A relieved smile appeared on the face of Viscount Hessian, and he eagerly agreed: "Yes, you can, of course. I will reply to the prince immediately."

After speaking, he ignored the tied legs and jumped off the battlement.

After a while, Viscount Hessian returned to the triangle fort after being released. He replied: "The prince agreed to a truce for the night and waits for you to make the right choice."
