When Yakov cherkaski learned that his division had been completely annihilated by the Lithuanian light cavalry of bolotsk, the cruel executioner stared round and showed an incredible expression. Yakov cherkaski never thought that the defenders of the Republic of Poland dared to go out of the city to fight. In previous campaigns, it was often the Tsarist Russian army with an advantage in number that calmly surrounded the army of the Republic of Poland in the city. Occasionally, with one or two exceptions, it was just like doronin, the commander of the Polish wing cavalry in the battle of Smolensk, relying on the strength of the wing cavalry to launch a counterattack. But this was the tacit understanding of the siege, and doronin boldly left the city because he was intrigued by Prince Alexei.
And what''s in this small town of Polotsk? Only a few poorly equipped light cavalry. How dare they get out of town!
Yakov cherkaski couldn''t understand. But he just ignored the most important point. That is our own strength.
In the past, every time czar Russia''s army fought with the army of the Republic of Poland, it was often able to gather a force advantage of one or two times or even five or six times more than that of the Republic of Poland. Although these armies could not compare with the army of the Republic of Poland in terms of training and sophistication, but also with the private troops and mercenaries of families such as raziweu, with a sea of people and greater casualties, czar Russia could always defeat its opponents.
This time, the Russian army led by Yakov cherkaski was only more than 5000 people. After a long march and the troops left to protect the transportation supply line, they actually reached only 4000 people under the city of Polotsk. This number is almost the same as that of the defenders of the Republic of Poland and the civilian groups entering the city. Yakov cherkaski also sent 800 men from the earth to attack the west, which further narrowed the military gap between the two sides. On the local front, the army of the Republic of Poland is even more than that of Czar Russia.
The total annihilation of the unit has already attacked the loss of the fort, making Yakov cherkaski lose a quarter of his troops. And it is also a great blow to the morale of the army. Yakov cherkaski can only withdraw his troops and make a long-term plan.
On the first day of the Polotsk offensive and defensive war, the defenders won the final victory.
For Chechen''s mercenary regiment, although the victory is gratifying. But in the battle of this day, the mercenary regiment also paid 56 casualties, most of them were lost in the raid of Boye cavalry. After nightfall, the remaining members of the mercenary regiment began to clean up the bodies of the dead. Whether the soldiers recruited by the mercenary regiment in Polotsk or the members of the Smolensk Volunteer Army brought by father spasokuktsky, they are all related by family. They are either friends or neighbors in their hometown on weekdays, and some brothers joined the mercenary regiment together. At the end of this day, the 31st person lost his life forever, and the survivors couldn''t help feeling sad.
At this time, father sparsokuktsky began to inspire everyone. The respected priest ran around in front of the mercenaries. He encouraged everyone to say that today''s dead died for the holy word of God to continue to be preached in the Church of the Republic. Although they were dead, the young man''s soul had already been introduced to heaven by angels. In front of God, they can proudly tell God that the wounds here and there are injured for holy karma. He made everyone remember the honor of today''s battle. The 200 mercenary regiment blocked the attack of the 4000 czar Russian army, including Yakov cherkaski, our most ferocious enemy.
These words of father sparsokuktsky can obviously infect and inspire people. The members of the mercenary regiment, who were still immersed in the grief of losing their brothers and friends, all regained their spirits. They gathered the bodies of the dead and began to mend the gap in the fort with sandbags.
Che Chen looked at the scene in full swing on the fortress and was relieved. But he was also very clear that after today''s World War I, the mercenary regiment had better let other troops in the castle take their place to guard the fort, so that the mercenary regiment can recover as soon as possible.
At this time, miss OLINA bilevich, accompanied by oshka and yarosh, arrived at the fort.
As soon as OLINA bilevitch saw Cherchen, she asked with concern, "Captain Cherchen, are you okay?"
"Miss orina, I''m fine," Cherchen said to orina bilevich. Then he told Miss OLINA about the idea of the mercenary regiment guarding the fort in the city of hope.
Miss OLINA bilevich nodded. But she asked Cherchen another question.
"Commander Chechen, do you think we can launch a counterattack now?"
Chechen was surprised. He didn''t understand how orina suddenly had such an idea.
Seeing Cherchen''s face in doubt, OLINA bilevitch explained: "This idea was put forward by old shar. Today, our cavalry swept Yakov cherkaski''s 800 infantry. Everyone thinks that the Czar Russian army is just like this. Moreover, because of today''s defeat, the enemy''s morale must be low, while our morale is high. The balance of victory is leaning towards us."
After listening to miss OLINA''s words, Chechen bowed his head and thought for a while. Instead of directly answering whether Miss OLINA could or could not, he asked oshka, "Lieutenant oshka, what was the situation of the battle when Lord Anjie was injured?"
Oshka glanced at orina and didn''t answer Chechen''s question. He still has a grudge against Cherchen''s recapture of the arms.
"Oshka, I also want to know the specific situation at that time," OLINA bilevich told oshka.
So oshka reluctantly recalled the situation at that time.
As an adjutant of Anjie, oshka participated in the battle at that time and witnessed the defeat with his own eyes. Although he attributed the failure of Anjie to inadequate preparation and the lack of bravery of the light cavalry responsible for blocking, after filtering out these subjective factors, Cherchen still restored the result of the battle in his mind. And orina thought about it.
When oshka finished speaking, Cherchen said to miss OLINA bilevich: "As you have heard, dear young lady, Lord Anjie also took advantage of the number at the beginning of that battle. Even when the light cavalry responsible for blocking collapsed, the troops he commanded to attack the bunker and the light cavalry who retreated still took advantage of the number. But he still failed. Do you know the reason?"
"It''s because of the Boye cavalry?" miss OLINA bilevich thought for a moment. In today''s battle, she also saw the horror of these black gods of death. If it weren''t for the firepower of the "organ", the fort might have been lost at that time.
"Yes, not all of them," said Chechen. At this time, he was like a little teacher giving lessons to his students.
"With all due respect, Lord Anjie didn''t take the bunker before the enemy arrived, and his failure was doomed. The Boye cavalry broke through the obstruction of the light cavalry, but accelerated the process of failure. Because even the light cavalry dragged the Boye cavalry into the scuffle, and the infantry and artillery with complete equipment came after the Boye cavalry. They are Anjie The key to Iraq''s failure. Facing an army composed of multiple arms, it is difficult to defeat independently by cavalry alone. "
"But we are not annihilating each other today... Olena bilevic just wanted to say about the Czar Russian army destroyed this morning, but she suddenly remembered that she had three times more troops than the other party, and there were no artillery and cavalry in the Russian army.
"Although I don''t know why Yakov cherkaski let a single infantry regiment go to the West alone, I don''t think Yakov cherkaski will make the same mistake again," Chechen said.
"Then can we only stick to it? Chechen." OLINA asked reluctantly.
"There may be a way to try, but I''m not sure."
When orina was ready to give up, Chechen said he had a way.
