The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 359: Before departure

Due to the poor road conditions in Lithuania and the backward supplies in the towns along the road, the 30,000 army from Lithuania did not send out a single brain, but proceeded in batches.

After the troops of Mikhav Vorodjavsky and Andrzej Kmicicz advanced, Chechen's mercenary regiment was also placed on the dispatch schedule. According to the order of the commander of Saperga, Chechen's mercenary regiment will set off together with Jan Sobieski's troops, the time is set for May 22.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, it was Prince Mihavu who was sent to the mercenary group to pass on the order.

Prince Mihav came to the mercenary group arrogantly, like an imperial minister. Before that, Cheerchen had no idea about the promotion of his "rival in love" because he had put all his energy on rebuilding the mercenary group.

"See, Alvar Chechen. This is the gap between you and me. I am now the adjutant of the Lithuanian commander, what are you fighting with me?" Prince Mihavu said.

At this time, there was no trace of aristocratic education in Prince Mihavu.

Pidro and the others looked at Prince Mihavu's hateful face, and everyone had the urge to punch the face.

"Adjutant Mihawu, the commander has ordered you to finish talking. If you are finished, you should go back to the city soon, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with lunch." Cheechen folded the order and said to Prince Mihawu indifferently. Said

Seeing that his provocation had no effect on Cheerchen, Prince Mihav snorted, then waved his hand and walked out.

After Prince Mihav left, Cheerchen said to his companions: "We are going to leave soon. Everyone has a day off today. I'll go out for a while."

"Leader, where are you going?"

"Go to Jan Sobieski."

Cheerchen really didn't expect that he would have a day with Jan Sobieski. In the Battle of Lida Fort, the two were once on two rival sides, fighting for life and death on the battlefield. Afterwards, Jan Sobieski took refuge in the command of Sapega, and was placed in a vacant position by Sapega. According to his own words, perhaps he had no chance with the army in this life.

Unexpectedly, this once young general of the Republic would make a comeback so soon, and he would act with him for some time in the future.

Jan Sobieski was a general, and he was superior to Cheerchen in rank and status. Since they were about to act together, Cheerchen went to visit Jan Sobieski.

Jan Sobieski's barracks were also on the outskirts of Werner, and when Chechen arrived there, the barracks were full of enthusiasm. This is not to say that Jan Sobieski’s army is training, but that carriages that transport goods are constantly driving in and out of the barracks. On both sides of the barracks’ gates, piles of materials are as high as a hill. , Hundreds of soldiers stripped naked and worked in the "hills".

"Hello, I am Alvar Chechen, the commander of the mercenary regiment. I came to see General Jan Sobieski." Chechen led the horse to the gate of the barracks and said to the soldiers standing guard.

The soldier on guard took a look at Cheechen, asked him to wait at the door, and then went in to report.

Due to the bet between Cheerchen and Prince Mihavu, Cheerchen's name is already known to everyone in Lithuania.

Soon, Jan Sobieski came out to greet Chechen in person.

"My friend, when I heard you came, I came out without wearing my shoes." Jan Sobieski hugged Chechen, then pointed to his feet.

Jan Sobieski came out wearing only socks.

If it were an ordinary person, he would really be moved to death by Jan Sobieski. But Chechen was too impressed with some of Jan Sobieski's performance under Janusz and the Battle of Lida Fort, and it was difficult to have a good impression of him anyway.

"General, it's been a long time. I believe you also received the command of the commander. He asked me to go to Warsaw with you." Cheerchen took a step back, and then politely said to Jan Sobieski. That attitude and action are alienated.

Seeing Cheerchen's attitude, Jan Sobieski didn't bother. He took Chechen's hand and walked inside.

As he walked, Jan Sobieski said with emotion to Chechen: "War can really change a person's destiny. I originally thought I would sit on a cold bench in Werner for a lifetime, but I didn't expect the war to regain Warsaw, Sape The Canadian commander Ye remembered me and Stanislaw Lianczkolonski. The commander let us command five thousand Lithuanian soldiers and contribute our strength without regaining Warsaw."

"I want to congratulate you too." Cheerchen said.

"Aren't you? From the deported criminal to the hero of the Republic, there is no more ups and downs in life than this. Since God let us into the same trench, then we will have to unite sincerely." Jan Sobieski said. Said with a pun.

Cheerchen couldn't answer these words. He changed the subject and said, "By the way, General. Why are you hoarding so many supplies? Didn't the chief say that you will provide us with supplies along the way?"

"Of course they will provide us with supplies along the route, but what about when we get to Warsaw? The Swedes will not let us retake the capital easily. There will be a fierce battle. Not to mention the army of Karl X who may return from Prussia at any time. If we procrastinate under the city for a long time, the supply of military rations will be a big problem. The Swedes will surely be clear in the Warsaw area, when we can only eat the food shipped from the rear. But think about it, only I own it. The artillery company with six 12-pound field guns has 154 horses including 152 artillery, not to mention people. These horses alone eat 12 pounds of hay and 14 pounds of grains (oats, corn, and barley) every day. Can rely on Lithuania’s poor roads to support the consumption of 30,000 people under Warsaw? What if an enemy sneaks on our supply line?” Jan Sobieski said.

After listening to Jan Sobieski's words, no matter how he felt about Jan Sobieski's land before, Cheerchen admired his plan for a rainy day. As far as Chechen knows, few generals have considered logistical supplies to Jan Sobieski. They always count the number of soldiers and artillery blindly.

"The general, didn't you talk to the leader of Sapega?" Cheerchen asked.

"I went to mention it, but the general said that when he arrives in Warsaw, he will have something to do~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I think unless he is a wizard who can conjure food, otherwise it will be a good idea on the 10th or 20th. Now, everyone is ready to starve to death under the city." Jan Sobieski said angrily.

This time, Chechen was on Jan Sobieski's side. He secretly decided that when he returned to the mercenary group, Ingrid would also have to buy supplies in Werner, in case of emergency.

When it was in the big tent, Chechen and Jan Sobieski sat down separately. The adjutant of the general brought up a glass of red wine for the two of them.

Jan Sobieski took a sip, and then asked how Cheerchen's mercenary group had been reorganized.

"One thousand six hundred infantrymen, three hundred cavalrymen, and a three-pound artillery company are all in place. You can set off at any time," Chechen said proudly.

This is indeed something to be proud of. In just one month, a mercenary group was established from scratch. Although this mercenary group still has problems like this, it cannot be compared with some old-brand mercenary groups serving the Republic in terms of overall strength.

"Ha, really worthy of my fancy! Captain Chechen, remember what I said at the beginning? If you choose to stay in Lithuania and play for the Republic, I welcome you to my side."" Jan Sobie Skye reiterated the old story.

"this……"

"No hurry, you can think about it slowly. By the way, I am on your side for your bet with Prince Mihavu." Jan Sobieski said.

"Okay, I'll consider it." Cheerchen said.

"Then let's continue to have a few drinks. Don't leave today, let's get drunk."

On May 22nd, two armies of 7,000 men departed from Lithuania. Unlike the previous units, the most striking thing about this army is the transport team consisting of hundreds of carriages that immediately follows the army.
