Chapter 42: The Sixth Journey to Central and Eastern Europe: The Warsaw Sonata 3 Variations

"boom!"

When the Russian cavalry rushed out of the gate, a twelve kilogram shot flew over. The shell was

After knocking down, piercing through three horses, six knights and bringing almost the same number of cavalry, they finally landed, spinning on the ground with flesh and blood.

However, with this shell, the remaining cavalry did not seem to be affected by this shell and continued to rush out of the gate!

At this time, the 1,500 Hanhai cavalry in the distance of the North Gate also dispatched.

According to the previous arrangement, three hundred, no no, no, now less than three hundred civilian guards came forward, and the remaining cavalry still rushed towards the northeast road.

There was a small wood in the northeast, and when the Russian cavalry arrived there, more than a thousand cavalry rushed out!

More than a thousand shiny armored cavalry!

Alexey divided up about 300 cavalry and took the remaining cavalry to the fields next to the avenue, bypassed the woods and returned to the avenue. Unfortunately, on the avenue, another team of cavalry with thousands of people was waiting there.

In this way, Alexey ran all the way, divided his troops to fight. When he ran about twenty miles, there were only about three hundred cavalry left by his side, all of them were dragon cavalry transformed by mercenaries!

However, there seemed to be no Han Hai Army in front. Alexey couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Not far ahead was a large forest composed of birch, pine and oak. At that time, even if an enemy appeared, they could completely break into the forest and scatter.

At present, there is a fork in front of you. In addition to continuing to walk through the dense forest and heading northeast, and after arriving in Myanzirecz, you can also reach Sederce to the northwest and then turn back to the Minsk region.

"In such a dense forest, it is impossible for the people of Daxia to have no ambush. Let's go to Shedelce first!"

Alexey expected it well. When his cavalry turned his horse's head and ran northwest along the edge of the forest, a large number of cavalry flew out of the forest. However, the enemy cavalry were fully armed, and all the cavalry around Alexey were light cavalry. Seeing that Alexey's confidence increased, he quickly whipped up his horse and galloped along the road to Shederce.

In this way, Alexey and his team rushed forward, and soon ran for more than forty miles and arrived at Arsenal, a small castle between Podrasey and Sederce. During this period, due to the blockade of the Hanhai Army, Alexey did not know the battle situation near Sederce, but he did not want to enter the castle to rest, and prepared to slow down his horse speed and bypass the castle and continue northward.

There are almost no hope for things in the world. When this group of cavalry stepped into the farmland next to the castle, a large group of cavalry came out of the castle.

Polish Winged Cavalry!

Alexey couldn't help but feel dizzy. When he saw the winged cavalry at this time, he was definitely not a friendly army. There was no way, so he could only sacrifice his horse. Under the stimulation of the barbs of the horse boots and the whip, the already shaky war horse accelerated its pace again.

This is a large farmland with a radius of about 10,000 mu. The fields are divided into pieces. There is a manor in the middle of the field. The manor is hidden in a small forest, but the spire-topped tower in the middle of the manor has exposed its place.

According to normal arrangement, after Alexei bypassed the castle at this time, he should hurry back to the avenue, but Alexei did not do this because he found the Winged Cavalry again on the avenue!

He was about to gallop northeast in the field, and there was another large forest there. He had no way out now. He didn't know if there were any winged cavalry or Hanhai Army in front of him, so he simply entered the dense forest first.

So the three hundred riders ran on the empty fields between the manor and the dense forest.

Not long after, the black jungle was clearly visible!

At this time, the winged cavalry behind Alexey did not seem to have followed. He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, but the situation is urgent, so he can only jump into the dense forest first...

Just as I was thinking, a rumbling sound suddenly came from nearby!

When he heard this trumpet, Alexey's heart suddenly sank - it was the unique trumpet of the Hanhai Army. Unlike the European S-shaped trumpet, the sound of the bronze trumpet of the Hanhai Army was even more desolate and lonely!

Not long after, a large group of cavalry flew from the manor, the forest and their rear. Judging from the formation, I was afraid there were tens of thousands of cavalry!

The enemy cavalry blocked all the routes that Alexey and the others could escape. Alexey's expression changed for a long time, and finally sighed and threw down the whip.

...

Alexey was captured!

What captured him was naturally because of the cavalry brigades sent by Zhuktu to the vicinity of Sederce with Carnetsky to deal with several cavalry brigadesky in the Fragher army. When Alexey fled from the northeast, from Podrasey to Sederce was already full of scouts from the Hanhai Army, and the news had already been transmitted to Sederce's Hanhai Army first, so the previous scene came into being.

...

Five days later, the army led by Yanush, Horn and Grigori had already walked to Biavistock at the junction of Poland and Lithuania, where they welcomed about ten Russian guards, wearing black triangular hats, red wool coats and tight white trousers.

The leader was Collins, and he was naturally released by Han Haijun.

"What?!"

When Grigori heard that his Tsar had been captured, he was shocked. He hesitated. If the people of Daxia knew that they would continue to march after receiving the Tsar's news, the Tsar's life would definitely be unsafe. Although Romodanovsky was a nobleman of the Liurik dynasty, he was trusted by the Romanov dynasty and was entrusted with the important task of guarding the western border of the empire.

What's more, since the empire experienced a long chaos after the death of Emperor Ivan, it was difficult to turn around. If the young Tsar died in Poland, there would be no need to say that the empire would cause another storm!

After hesitation, Grigori decided to leave the army in Biavestock waiting for news, and he took a few troops to follow Collins to Warsaw first.

Grigori's withdrawal made Horn and Yanus a little dilemma. At the moment, even the stupidest person had already understood the size and combat power of the Daxia people. They had three cavalry corps in Poland, and the cavalry of their two families combined were less than 8,000!

But Horn did not want the regent of his country and the remaining soldiers trapped in Warsaw, so he decided to move forward.

"Yanush, even if we negotiate with the Tatars, we will definitely not get a good result without an army. We advanced to Vishkuf, not far northeast of Warsaw. It is the castle of your Raziviu family or a large castle. After the army arrives there, we can get supplies and keep a certain distance from Warsaw. When we get there, we will send envoys to negotiate with the Tatars. What do you think?"

Yanush cursed in his heart, "Along the way, both Swedes and Russians, they all looted all the manors along the way, and said they were supplies on the surface, but in fact they were similar to robbing them."

Although I thought about it this way, Horn's suggestion was the most reasonable. If Guang sent a few people to negotiate with the Daxia people who were besieging the city, it would be useless.

Even so, considering the strength of the Daxia people, Horn and Yanush discussed with Yanush and decided to let Yanush's winged cavalry be in the front as a vanguard, with the elite Swedes' infantry in the middle, followed by Lithuanian mercenaries and the Swedes' Dragoon Hall. If this arrangement is made, even if the winged cavalry in front is attacked, it will be a cavalry or a powerful winged cavalry that can resist on the spot, and can also quickly report the news to the back, so that the powerful Swedish infantry can set up their formation as soon as possible.

Soon, 20,000 troops arrived in Ostrov, a castle of the former Polish Army Commander Konetspolsky Stanislaw family. The Stanislaw family is the loyalist of the Polish king. With the acquiesce of the previous king, the deceased Konetspolsky already owned more than 20 large and small castles and hundreds of manors in Poland. It is the largest lord in Poland and his annual income is higher than that of the king.

Such a family will definitely not allow the Swedes, the already rebellious Lithuanians to enter the city to replenish supplies. The food, property, and population of the nearby manors have also been moved to the city. This castle is one of the cities recognized by the Polish king (after the city is recognized, the title will be different). Therefore, although it is not as good as Warsaw, it is much taller than the cities of Shederce and Podrache.

Because a large amount of food and property were plundered in the Biavestok province in front, Horn and Yanush's army had no risk of lack of food and grass. They ignored Ostrov and bypassed and continued to march towards Vishkuf.

After leaving Ostrov, Yanush suddenly became nervous. He was the chief nobleman of Lithuania and had a large number of castles and manors in Poland. He had walked on this road many times. He knew that from Ostrov to Vishkuf, it was a low hill from the forest of Mib, with a grassland of about one hundred miles long from east to west and about thirty miles wide from north to south. The road from Minsk to Warsaw just passed through the hills - it was also one of the best pastures for the Poles. The winged cavalry under the great nobles of Warsaw mostly owned pastures and manors in this area.

Of course, when Carl attacked Warsaw last time, the surrounding winged cavalry had been recruited by King Kazimiri to Warsaw City. He was not worried that they would suddenly come out of the hilly areas, but it would not be guaranteed that the Hanhai Army would do this.

When Yanush expressed his concern, Horn was also frightened, but he immediately said, "No fear, even if the enemy put the scout here, the number of people would not be too large. They did not have many people, up to 30,000, and they would still surround Warsaw. According to the news from the Regent of Carl, he still had seven or eight thousand elite infantry troops under him. If he wanted to surround Warsaw City, at least 20,000 people would be needed. Even if they came to meet us, there would be only 10,000 people at most. Your winged cavalry was exploring the way forward. According to what you said, the dense forest was about thirty miles wide, so you might as well scatter the scouts to thirty miles away. If you have any movement, come back to report the news."

"Anyway, we must cross this dense forest as soon as possible, arrive in Vishkuv, and then send a consultation and messenger after the arrangement is made."

Yanus nodded and thought to himself: "That's all we can do."

In this way, the brigade lined up into this dense forest. Because there were a large number of Lithuanian serfs driving their cars and horses, they were loaded with food and grass from large armies, the team could not get up quickly. When the vanguard of the winged cavalry walked out of this dense forest, the team's tail was still in the dense forest twenty miles away.

However, a scene that worried Yanush appeared.

He was originally the lord of Vishkuf Castle, which originally belonged to him, but his nephew was not ready to listen to him and let the army enter the city to rest!

So Yanush had to bring a few men into the castle through the hanging basket, and the army all squeezed outside the castle to wait for Yanush's negotiations.

Yanush's negotiations seemed not very smooth, and he didn't come out after half a day.
