The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Although Ivan Mahera was addicted to money and power, his marksmanship and swordsmanship did not last a day. Because he understands very well that this is the capital on which he depends for survival. He once shot a wine bottle a hundred steps away, and he also shot a bird that suddenly flew 30 steps away.

The pistol fired, and he was confident that he could accurately hit Cheechen who charged with the gun 30 meters away.

The bullet hit, but company Captain Ivan Mahra ignored one thing, that is Cheering was wearing plate armor, and he was using a pistol.

In the 16-17 century, when a 3mm iron military breastplate was shot vertically, it could withstand a 300-joule arrow and a warhead of 1700-joule. When it was shot at an oblique angle of 30 degrees, it could withstand a 360-joule arrow and 2000-joule. When it is shot at an oblique angle of 45 degrees, it can withstand a 425-joule arrow and a 2,300-joule warhead.

At that time, when a Spanish light matchlock was loaded with 21 grams of ammunition and a charge of 18 grams, the kinetic energy of the bullet at 30 meters away was 1,877 joules.

Therefore, even if Ivan Mahra uses a matchlock gun, unless the bullet hits vertically, it cannot cause damage to Cheorchen. What's more, he was using a pistol that was far less powerful in caliber and barrel length.

The bullet fired from the pistol hit Cheorchen's chest and was perfectly defended by the black armor. Cheerchen was unscathed except for feeling a little shock in his chest. And even this shock was mostly absorbed by the cotton lining inside the black armor.

The Cossack spear in Cheerchen's hand easily passed through the smoke under the action of the horse's acceleration, and penetrated Ivan Mahera's Cossack chain armor long suit. The lock ring made by the Kiev blacksmith on the chain armor was shattered by the sharp spear tip, and the short spear pierced Ivan Mahera's body.

Due to the huge impact, Ivan Mahera was taken away from the horse. He curled up and spit out a mouthful of blood with internal organs and muscle fibers in the air.

Cheerchen released the Cossack spear in his hand, and Ivan Mahera fell heavily to the ground. But his vitality is so tenacious, even if he has been hit so hard, he still hasn't died for a while.

Ivan Mahera stared at fish-like eyes, and he spit out another mouthful of blood. This time, blood splattered into the sky and fell on his own face. The Cossack company commander stretched out a hand, as if he wanted to grab something, or he had seen the angel walking out of the wide open door of heaven, to lead him into heaven.

But no matter what Ivan Mahra wants to do, it has nothing to do with Cheerchen. Cheerchen, who walked slowly back to Ivan Mahra, jumped off the horse, staggered when he landed, but immediately stood firm.

Cheerchen half-kneeled in front of Ivan Mahla. At this time, the money-grabbing war next to the carts continued. All the carts were overturned to the ground. The Cossacks tore at each other, and they even dropped their weapons just to get an extra money.

Cheerchen pulled out the dagger, he took off the hat from Ivan Mahla's head, and then inserted the dagger into Ivan Mahla's throat.

The carotid artery was punctured, and Ivan Mahera's last vitality quickly disappeared.

Cheerchen closed his eyes. His dagger cut across the neck of the deceased, cutting flesh and bones.

Soon, Ivan Mahra's head was cut off. Cheerchen inserted Ivan Mahera's head into the Cossack spear that was pulled out of his chest. Cheerchen got on the horse, raised the spear to his left hand, and then ran towards the right flank that was still fighting.

At this time, the returning Hessian cavalry, armored Cossacks, and dragoons were still fighting the Cossacks. These Cossacks would rather die than retreat under the pressure of the enemy horses. They formed a small square formation in groups of seven or eight. They used four to five short spearmen to prevent the cavalry from approaching, thereby covering the musketeers from shooting.

Obviously, in the years of fighting with Polish cavalry and Crimean Tatar cavalry, the Cossacks have accumulated a wealth of strategies and methods against cavalry.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the cavalry of the mission did not forcefully shake these phalanxes, but ran back and forth to obscure the connection between the two Cossacks.

Cheerchen returned to the right flank. He raised the head of Ivan Mahra on the short spear high, and then shouted: "Your leader is dead."

Chechen rode his horse around on the battlefield, so that all the Cossacks could see the head of Ivan Mahera.

Although the head was covered with blood, the Cossacks quickly recognized the face of their chief.

Cheerchen shouted again at the right time: "surrender to avoid death."

Seeing that Ivan Mahera was dead, the morale of the Cossacks quickly collapsed. Some people began to flee, while others dropped their weapons.

Some Hessian cavalry tried to disarm the Cossacks and **** them together, but Cheerchen knew that the most important thing now was not to do this.

He commanded loudly: "Don't worry about these people, follow me, return, return!"

Cheerchen still held the head high, holding a saber in his other hand, leading all the cavalry back to the position.

Although he was injured, Cheerchen still ran first. As he approached the overturned cart, he jerked the rein and leaped over the cart.

A Cossack who was holding a Taler kissing felt the sky above his head black. He looked up at a loss, but saw the light of the knife flash, cursing across his eyes, cutting half of his head open. Come.

The cavalry behind them also leaped over the carriage in a similar way, and slashed and killed the Cossacks who had no fighting spirit and organization because of the fight for money.

In this battlefield, everything becomes a weapon.

The musket is a weapon because it can shoot the enemy; the sword is a weapon ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ because it can slash and kill the enemy; the horseshoe is also a weapon because it can trample on the enemy.

Stanisław Potocki, who was surviving aristocrats and civilians, got into a carriage and escaped from a safe distance. He saw this scene from a distance, and the old man was really surprised and inexplicable. He cried out to God for blessing. The old man did not expect that Cheerchen not only killed the enemy leader, but also turned the tide of the battle and snatched back the fifty thousand talers.

"What are you looking at! Chong, don't let a Cossack escape!" The old man ordered to the nobles and civilians around him.

At this time, seeing that their cavalry had gained an absolute advantage, of course everyone was happy to beat the falling water dog. The people around Stanislaw pulled out their sabers one after another and rushed over.

Some Cossacks tried to escape, but they were mercilessly beheaded from the back because of how they could run over four legs. Others took up talers full of hands and tried to exchange money for their lives, but It's no use, but the merciless killing greeted them.

After killing more than half of the Cossacks, Cheerchen finally ordered to stop. He ordered the Hessian cavalry to gather the remaining Cossacks and clean the battlefield.

At this time, the smoke on the battlefield has not cleared, and the setting sun is full of blood. Cheerchen wanted to find a cleaner place to sit down, but there was blood everywhere.

He was very tired and sat down on the ground.

Stanislaw Potocki came back in the carriage, and when he got out of the carriage, he grabbed Cheerchen's hand and eagerly said to him: "Cheerchen, you really did not live up to the trust of His Majesty the King and me. ."

The enemy was wiped out, the money was kept, and for Stanislaw Potocki, there was no better ending.

Cheerchen just showed a tired smile in the face of the old man's praise.
