The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

When Ivan Mahra led the long-hidden left-wing Cossacks to attack the mission positions, the 68-year-old Stanislaw Potocki sighed. At this time, there are only 10 armored Cossacks and 20 non-combatants around him, but they have to face almost five times the number of their own.

Moreover, the main force of the mission is fighting fiercely with the frontal and right-wing Cossacks. It is unrealistic to ask them to return to aid now, because this will easily lead to the collapse of morale.

Now I can only rely on myself to fight this disparity battle.

Stanislaw Potocki couldn't help but think of the "Great Crown Gateman" Stanislaw Zukevsky, who had gone out at the age of 73 and died in the Battle of Sekola.

"Unexpectedly, I would have died in battle four years earlier than Master Zhukevsky." Stanislaw Potocki thought.

But although Stanislaw Potocki believes that he is unreasonable, he does not want to catch it with his hands-he-Stanislaw Potocki was also a soldier of the Republic when he was young, and he also jumped. Ma Hengdao fought the Ottoman Turks and Tatars-now, even if he died, he would die like a soldier.

Stanislaw Potocki drew his saber. He raised the saber high, and then said impassionedly to the nobles and civilians who were frightened by the huge number of enemies beside him: "Give me calmness. So panicked, you are still not the nobles of the Republic of Poland! Remember, the nobles of Poland can die in battle, but they will never surrender!"

After that, Stanislaw Potocki walked to the armored Cossacks who were blocking the Cossacks' charge with bows and arrows.

The so-called general is the courage of the soldiers, and the nobles and civilians who accompanied the regiment saw the old man's death so much, they also calmed down.

Everyone remembered the hatred and cruelty of the Cossacks towards the Poles. Everyone knows that even if they surrender, what awaits them is endless torture and insult. Thinking of this, everyone also firmly established their belief that they would rather fight to death than steal a life. They held their swords in their hands one after another, and followed the old man Stanislaw Potocki.

On the left flank of the mission position, the only ten armored Cossacks were shooting arrows continuously. Although many of them already had sore and swollen arms, they still clenched their teeth and shot deadly feather arrows in order to block and kill one more enemy.

The Cossacks under Ivan Mahla shot while charging. The Emirate of Cossacks is a country of firearms, and almost every Cossack has firearms—although most of the firearms are of hard quality.

Intensive bullets were continuously fired at the armored Cossacks, but the accuracy of shooting was not high due to the running and the quality of the firearms. However, in the intense gunfire, three armored Cossacks were still hit, and one of them was killed on the spot.

The living armored Cossack has no time to pay attention to the dead and wounded colleagues, because at this time each of them is a precious combat power and cannot be wasted on helping their companions.

Stanislaw Potocki filled the vacancy of a fallen Cossack in armor. He picked up the compound bow and arrow on the ground, and then shot an arrow at a Cossack who was holding a gun to shoot.

The deadly feathered arrow penetrated the throat of the Cossack. When he fell to the ground, due to the instinctive muscle twitching, the Cossack pulled the trigger of the musket in his hand, but ghostly killed a Cossack in front of him. .

Such a magical arrow made the armored Cossacks stunned. When they discovered that it was the mission’s official, the respected Stanislaw Potocki, who had shot the arrow, everyone uttered an earth-shattering cheer.

Stanislaw Potocki didn't know what to do. He kept drawing the bow and shooting arrows, and shot and killed three more enemies in a row.

Just as the old man was about to shoot the fourth arrow, his hand reaching for the quiver caught nothing. It turned out that the 30 arrows in the quiver had been shot out.

Not only Stanislaw Potocki, but the other Cossacks in armor are also in the same situation.

The Cossacks under the command of Ivan Mahra also found that their opponents had no feather arrows. They got up from the ground and rushed viciously towards the mission's position.

Due to the limited number of people, the Polish team could only line up in two rows to fight, and they were quickly surrounded by a large number of Cossacks.

Everyone knows that the last moment has arrived. They surrounded Stanislaw Potocki and fought bravely and desperately.

An armored Cossack had 14 bullets in his body. The shield in his hand was already in tatters, but he still drew out the hawk and beat the Cossack back in front of him, and nailed the hawk into the head of an enemy. This shocked the Cossacks. Some Cossacks saw that he had a Cossack haircut and guessed that he was also a Cossack. , Said that if he surrendered, the Cossacks would promise to keep him alive. But this armored Cossack replied that although he is also a Cossack, he is loyal to the Republic of Poland and the Polish king. He doesn’t care about his life, he just wants to be like a real warrior. Die.

Then, three short spears pierced his body, one pierced his ribs, another pierced his abdomen, and another pierced his thigh. Three Cossacks lifted him into the air and killed him. And he also fulfilled his promise, dead like a real warrior.

Every Polish soldier who fell would take twice as many Cossacks as his own life, but even so, the battle still did not give Stanislaw Potocki any hope.

When the last Cossack in armor fell, Stanislaw Potocki was left with only 15 people, and everyone was injured. The old man retreated to his carriage under the **** of everyone. At this time, his saber had cut countless holes, and the tiger's mouth was also cracked, and his arm kept trembling.

"It's finally over." Stanislaw Potocki thought.

The old man couldn't help regretting his mission this time, but he didn't regret coming, but he regretted how he didn't bring a priest with him.

In the final stage of the tragic Battle of Sekola, the great Zukevsky was surrounded by enemy groups but continued to fight until the commander himself was hit hard. When he was dying, he made the last confession and prayer in his life with the help of a priest, and then passed away.

"It's finally over." Commander Ivan Mahra thought the same. Although on the other side, his subordinates are still fighting, as long as you kill these people beside the carriage, the treasure in the carriage will be yours.
