The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

King Kazimierz led the defeated generals and set up a camp at a distance of fifteen miles from the Vistula River. Although Sapega and others have repeatedly persuaded the king that this place is not safe, and the army of Karl X may cross the Vistula River to chase here at any time, but Kazimierz is still stubborn.

The king said to Sapega and others: "Jan Sobieski, Mihavu, Anjay, Natalie, they are still on the other side of the river and have not returned. They are to cover us, and I am here to wait for them to return. ."

In this way, King Kazimierz and hundreds of cavalry remained, and General Alexander Odinsky led a large army to retired in the direction of Lublin.

Saperga, who was still in shock, sent dozens of cavalry to patrol the Vistula River, and as soon as he found that the Swedish army had crossed the river, he would immediately return to report.

One day and one night passed, and Jan Sobieski was the first to return. After crossing the river, Jan Sobieski had no horses and had to retreat on foot. During the period, although they encountered many Polish soldiers riding on horses, at this critical moment when everyone was running for their lives, even if you were a general, no one was willing to give you their horses. A Polish noble cavalry even immediately asked Jan Sobieski: "Have you ever seen someone who lends an umbrella to someone on a rainy day?"

In desperation, Jan Sobieski had to continue to retreat with the support of his soldiers. In order to reduce the burden, he even took off the expensive but heavy wing cavalry armor and left it on the side of the road at will.

But it was also God’s mercy. Soon after Jan Sobieski and the others met the patrol cavalry sent by the leader of Sapega. After the patrol cavalry gave the horse to Jan Sobieski and pointed out where the king is stationed, they finally Found it back.

King Kazimierz hugged Jan Sobieski in tears. The young general persisted at the ferry until the end. Without him taking over Janusz’s command at the ferry, there would definitely be more Polish troops unable to cross the river smoothly.

After listening to the hardships of Jan Sobieski along the way, King Kazimierz asked Mihav and others about the situation.

Jan Sobieski said: "Your Majesty, I don’t know if Mihavu and the others are still alive. God bless them! But when I crossed the river, the Swedes’ cavalry had already interspersed and occupied the pontoon. The soldiers crossing the river, I think about thousands of people are trapped on the other side. Mihavu and Anjay, as well as the mercenary group led by Natalie did not come to the ferry at the time, I think their situation is not optimism."

By what Jan Sobieski said, it was clear that Mihavu and the others were either killed in battle or captured.

King Kazimierz understood the meaning of Jan Sobieski's words. He was silent for a long time.

"Let's wait another day, another day." King Kazimierz raised his head and said to the sky.

"Your Majesty!" Potocki exclaimed. It’s dangerous to stay here for one more day!

"Pototsky, don't stop me. One day, just one day." Kazimierz turned around, turning his back to everyone. His twitching shoulders indicated that the king was crying.

Potocki sighed.

Another day's waiting. During this period, Sapega led the patrol cavalry sent to the Vistula River to return. Along with them were nearly a hundred Polish soldiers who escaped the encirclement.

Through the account of a Polish officer who bought the Swedish guards to escape from the camp, King Kazimierz learned more.

The mercenary regiment led by Natalie surrendered without being able to break through the siege after holding on for more than six hours; while Mihavu and Anjey were taken prisoner after exhaustion; Jerzy Khaletski The colonel was killed on the battlefield.

It can be said that the few troops that were left behind were all annihilated.

The Polish officer who escaped by chance also said that Swedish soldiers shot and killed many Polish officers and soldiers who refused to surrender by the Vistula River, but he was not sure whether Mihavu and them were among the group of people who were shot.

After hearing what the officer said, King Kazimierz and others had concluded that Mihau and the others had absolutely no physiology. Because Mihavu and Natalie are firm patriots and they will not surrender.

As for the atrocities committed by the Swedish soldiers by shooting and killing prisoners, Sapega and others secretly vowed that they would repay it with the blood of the Swedes ten times and one hundred times.

By now, it doesn't make sense to stay here. But King Kazimierz insisted on staying for another day.

Early the next morning, King Kazimierz reverently fell to the ground in a cruciform shape. He prayed to God and the protector of the country, and prayed that the loyal and brave soldiers who were captured would die and turn danger into peace.

On the afternoon of this day, Mihavu and Natalie and other prisoners released by Karl X arrived here.

Seeing that most people are safe and sound, King Kazimierz and others are overjoyed. Others also knelt to the ground one after another. They were thanking the Almighty God and the most merciful Goddess for blessing the loyal ministers and righteous men of these republics.

Of course, there is nothing perfect in the world. When Kazimierz saw that there was no his captain of the guard Barabaka among the returning people, when he asked, he knew that Barabaka and most of the mountain people had already sacrificed ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Some returnees who saw the mountain people fought bravely told King Kazimierz about their heroic fight, and the scene of all their members being martyred in the end was tragic and majestic. King Kazimierz and others burst into tears.

At this time, Jan Sobieski recognized that there were no Pepidro among them, and quickly asked Natalie: "Natalie, where are Pedro and others?"

Natalie's expression changed, with a sad expression. She was about to answer, but Mihav took the lead.

"Your Majesty, General Jan Sobieski, Captain Pedro and them are all safe. But because of their mercenary group status, the enemy Chief Karl X forced them to sign a one-year agreement against the Swedish army and its allies. Agreement. According to the agreement, Captain Pedro and the others had to break up with us and head to Vidawa’s territory. However, before breaking up, Captain Pedro repeatedly stated that they would still wait until the time for the agreement came. For your majesty."

After listening to Mihavu, King Kazimierz expressed his understanding even though he was a little disappointed. After all, it is a common practice for a mercenary group to be required to sign such an agreement after surrendering. Pedro and the others chose to abide by the agreement, which is also due.

"Pidro and the others have done a great job for the Republic this time. Although they will not be able to fight for the Republic within a year, I will certainly honor my promise to double their land in Vidava." King Kazimierz Said.

"The most merciful king, I thank you on behalf of Pidro and everyone in the mercenary group." Mihavu and Anjay looked at each other, and they both fell on one knee at the same time, as King Kazimierz. Thanks to the mercenary group for their generosity.

And Natalie, who should be most happy, bit her lip and turned her head away. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on King Kazimierz, so no one noticed her abnormality.
