A few days later, Yakov cherkaski gave up the idea of a quick decision. Every day, tsarist Russian artillery would drag cannons into artillery positions and launch artillery attacks on bastions and borotsk castle. Polotsk''s defenders would also launch artillery counterattacks from the walls and forts, and such shelling would continue until dark. It seems that neither side can do anything, and the war is sliding in the direction of stalemate. But both orina and Chechen and Yakov cherkaski are preparing for a fatal blow to their opponents.


    The actions of Polotsk were obviously ahead of Czarist Russia.


    On this day, Yakov cherkaski suddenly received a report from the spy that dozens of ships of the Republic of Poland appeared on the dogava river.


    Yakov cherkaski was really shocked at the news. Because the Daugava river connects bolotsk and Mia telsk fort, so many ships suddenly appear on the river at this time, which is likely to be reinforcements from Mia telsk fort.


    "Did the prince''s army who attacked the fort Mya telsk be defeated?" Yakov cherkaski thought uneasily.


    Yakov cherkaski dared not be careless about the sudden situation. He quickly took more than ten Boye cavalry to ride towards the river bank.


    As reported by the spies, there are indeed dozens of boats on the daugawa River, but these boats are very old, most of them ordinary fishing boats and merchant ships. And instead of stopping at the Bank of Polotsk castle, they headed up the dogava river.


    "Where did these ships come from?" Yakov cherkaski looked at the ships on the river and fell into thinking.


    Since Yakov cherkaski led the Russian army into Polotsk, most poles and Lithuanians have fled into Polotsk castle. Yakov cherkaski and his army are not only ships, but also people. Today, there are so many fishing boats in the river. It must be unusual.


    "You, get over there now and let those ships come over," Yakov cherkaski ordered to a Boye cavalry.


    The Boye cavalry rode to the nearest place to the river bank. He shouted to a merchant ship closest to the bank and ordered them to come quickly.


    But the merchant ship not only didn''t listen, but sped up and headed upstream.


    The angry Boye cavalry raised a hard bow and shot an arrow at the merchant ship. He tried to frighten the sailors on the ship in this way.


    The feather arrow crossed a track in the sky and nailed it to the side of the merchant ship. Unexpectedly, instead of slowing down and landing, the sailors on the merchant ship pulled out a gun from the cabin.


    No merchant ship will be equipped and can be equipped with artillery. Obviously, the sailors on these merchant ships and fishing boats were disguised as soldiers. The Boye cavalry saw that the merchant ship was equipped with artillery, and the muzzle had been aimed at himself. He quickly hit his horse and ran back.


    The artillery shells landed where the Boye cavalry had stood.


    "General, those are soldiers," said the Boye cavalry, running back to Yakov cherkaski with lingering fear.


    "Nonsense, I saw it all," Yakov cherkaski shouted at the Boye cavalry.


    Yakov picked up his telescope and carefully observed the merchant ship. The gun that fired the shell just now was a four pound gun. Through the window of the ship, Yakov vaguely saw that there seemed to be horses moving in the cabin.


    "Isn''t it!"


    Yakov cherkaski suddenly remembered a possibility, which startled him in a cold sweat.


    The route of the army attacking Polotsk led by Yakov cherkaski is basically parallel to the daugawa River, which means that by water transportation, the army of the Republic of Poland can land at any place and then attack the supply line of the Russian army. What''s worse, the simple bunker originally arranged on the transportation supply line can only defend against the raids of light cavalry, but can''t resist the bombardment of artillery.


    Obviously, the garrison of Polotsk learned the lesson of being killed by the light cavalry when they raided the bunker, and began to take action with artillery.


    "Hurry back with me."


    Yakov cherkaski pulled the reins, turned his horse around and ran towards the camp.


    Back at the camp, Yakov cherkaski rushed to the map before he could unload his armor. He drew his hand on the map and began to calculate.


    Judging by the number and size of ships on the river, this fleet can be ridden by hundreds of people. With artillery, it is unmatched by the defenders in any fortress.


    "Fortunately, I found it," Yakov cherkaski said with a ferocious smile. He had thought of a way to deal with it, and this time he might repeat the story of the re establishment of the Lithuanian light cavalry.


    Yakov cherkaski quickly began to mobilize troops. He moved the artillery position to the Bank of the river in order to block the daogawa River and block the retreat of the army of the Republic of Poland along the river. Then Yakov left 2000 infantry to defend the artillery position and monitor Polotsk, while he led a thousand cavalry and infantry to follow him along the river bank.


    Yakov cherkaski''s idea is wonderful: if the Polish Army lands and attacks its own transportation supply line, he will lead the army to surround and destroy it; If the Polish Army wanted to escape back to Polotsk, the artillery on the Bank of the river would sink them in the dogava river.


    In short, in Yakov cherkaski''s eyes, the Polish troops in this fleet have become their own food.


    Yakov cherkaski set off with two thousand Russian troops in a mighty manner. What he did not know was that there were two pairs of eyes looking at him at the top of the city tower in Polotsk.


    "Cherchen, your method is really effective. Yakov cherkaski is on the hook." OLINA bilevich said happily to Cherchen around her.


    "I hope God will protect Yakov cherkaski until we destroy the two thousand Russian troops in front of us."


    "God will bless us," said OLINA with certainty.


    It turned out that all this was Chechen''s plan. He guessed the importance of the supply line to Yakov cherkaski from oshka''s story and came up with this move to lure Yakov cherkaski to divide his troops. These ships were owned by local businessmen and fishermen in Polotsk, and OLINA requisitioned them at twice the price; Of course the gun on the ship is real, but only this one; As for the horses and soldiers on board, they were not as exaggerated as Yakov cherkaski thought, but there were more than a hundred people. Relying on camouflage, the army of more than 100 people led the nose of 2000 people of Czar Russia.


    "Tonight is the end of the Russian army," orina thought.
