Chapter 173

    After receiving the weapons, one after another troops rushed out of the front and rear doors of the castle and rushed to the warring blocks. They will cooperate with the army of the raziwiu family who exchanged fire with the resisters there to expel and destroy the enemy.


    Victor''s infantry was assigned to a large block in the north. This is under the control of Colonel Jerzy haretsky''s guard. After learning that their officer had been detained by the prince, the army did not go out of the city to join the large army, but built barricades with rice bags, tables and chairs and other sundries at both streets. Because they were veterans who retired from Brest fortress and had rich combat experience, several attacks launched by the original Prince yanush''s army were repulsed, and the attacker also paid more than 20 lives for this.


    The mercenary regiment led by Chechen also acted with Victor''s infantry. Due to Prince yanush''s sacrifice, all the mercenary regiments wore a long gun uniform. They were armed to the teeth with a short broadsword hanging from their waist and a firerope in their hands. But the fighting enthusiasm of mercenaries is not very high. Because most of them are refugees from Smolensk rather than foreigners, they are resistant to such things as beating their own people.


    When Victor reached the block, he climbed up a tall building with several infantry officers, Cherchen and Pedro. This tall building is the tallest building near the block. It has four floors. From the top of the building, the positions of the resisters are clear at a glance.


    "You see, these rebels not only built barricades at the corner of the street, but also hid Musketeers in the street houses on both sides of the road behind the barricade. Moreover, they also built a second line of defense in the higher area 30 meters away. Although there is unlikely to be artillery, even with Musketeers can provide considerable fire support at this distance. When we attack, artillery We must suppress the Musketeers in the houses facing the street on both sides. It is best to force them out, and then the attacking soldiers try to break through the second position as quickly as possible. "


    Victor observed again and again and said his attack plan, while the officers around him kept making records with pen and paper. Chechen and Pedro were extremely amateur at this time. They were empty handed and eager to listen.


    During this period, the resisters in the block also found victor and others in the high-rise building. Their guns sprayed lead bullets at the windows of the high-rise building, trying to hit several people by luck. Several lead bullets did hit Victor''s window and beat wood chips from the wooden window frame, but Victor didn''t care. He continued to observe and issue orders like nothing.


    "Commander Chechen."


    Said Victor, putting down his binoculars.


    By this time, he had a clear idea of the situation of the rebels opposite.


    "You and your mercenary regiment go round to the other end of the street. You don''t have to attack, just block the retreat of the rebels. Once our attack is successful, the rebels are bound to retreat in that direction along the street. Your task is to block them."


    After listening to Victor''s arrangement for himself and the mercenary regiment, Cherchen rarely put forward any opinions. He saluted victor and showed obedience to Victor''s arrangement.


    On the way downstairs, Pedro couldn''t help complaining about Cherchen:


    "You should have argued just now. What credit can we get from blocking? Now everyone knows that Prince yanush is an employer. The more we do now, the more rewards the prince gives, and the more you hope to be reused."


    "Uncle, as you saw just now, the quality of our mercenary regiment is not the same as that of Victor''s infantry. If the two troops are mixed together to attack, they will not only be unable to cooperate, but also easily disrupt each other''s rhythm. And don''t you see? Our people have low morale when they see that they want to fight long ago." Cherchen explained to Pedro.


    At this time, they had gone downstairs to the door of the tall building. On both sides of the street are soldiers who take advantage of the last time before the war to rest and refresh themselves. The mercenary regiment and Victor''s infantry are completely different. The soldiers of the two forces are in charge of each place, standing or sitting, and there is no intersection at all.


    "Well, I see."


    Seeing this, Pedro also understood the facts of what Chechen said, so he no longer insisted.


    Chechen gathered his own people on the side of the street as he walked. In less than ten minutes, 124 soldiers had assembled.


    Fatima, yelishei, priest and fedot formed four columns with their soldiers, waiting for Cherchen''s order.


    Cherchen simply said the task assigned by Victor and wanted to start action. But then father sparsokukotsky stood up.


    Although the priest also received armor from the armory, he did not wear it. Today, father sparsokukotsky is still a gray robe with an iron cross hanging on his chest.


    "Father, do you have any questions?" Chechen asked.


    Spasokukotsky crossed his chest and said sadly: "My child, we have been taken care of by you for a long time. I also know that mercenaries accept the employment of their employers and obey orders as their bounden duty. What''s more, we are still family ministers of the raziweu family. But just the night before yesterday, yanush raziweu rebelled against the Republic and imprisoned many lords and leaders. These people are loyal and patriotic nobles and soldiers. Now, I We have to fight against the officers and soldiers who came to rescue them. This is a civil war, commander! Our brothers and compatriots are fratricidal. I really can''t do it. "


    Father sparsokukotsky''s words are not only his idea, but also the voice of many mercenaries in the mercenary regiment. As soon as the priest''s voice fell, it resonated in the mercenary regiment.


    As the noise became louder and louder, even the infantry soldiers nearby were attracted by the noise.


    If it had been Chechen before yesterday, he might have been persuaded by the priest''s words and even joined the defender immediately. But after the brainwashing of yanush raziweu, Cherchen''s heart has been extremely firm. He believes that the prince''s strategy is really correct.


    Che Chen made a move of pressing his hands down and motioned everyone to be quiet. When everyone was quiet and waiting for him to speak, Chechen cleared his throat and said, "everyone, I know your feelings very well. How can I be willing to fight with my former comrades in arms! But there is no way. These people are stubborn and oppose the prince."


    "The great prince is a traitor!" shouted someone in the line.


    "The great prince is not a traitor. He just chose a more tortuous and noble road. Let''s think about it. The great prince didn''t betray the country, and he didn''t say he would surrender to the Swedes. He brought the Swedes in just to deal with the Russians. Because it''s very difficult to recover svutsk, Minsk, Smolensk and other regions just by relying on his strength. The king didn''t trust him, restricted him everywhere, and everyone didn''t understand him. But the great prince, he tried his best to attract Swedes to help Austria and drive the Czar''s Russian army out of Lithuania and Smolensk. I believe in Prince yanush, and please believe me and the prince. "


    These words of Cherchen are a copy of what yanush said to him. Many people fell into meditation after listening to these specious truths.


    "Did the prince really bring Swedish troops into Lithuania to fight czar Russia?" someone asked.


    "It''s true that the prince told me," Chechen replied firmly.


    "The prince also said that he would fight back to Smolensk and take Yakov as the traitor."


    Yakov is not only the enemy of Chechen and Pedro, but also the enemy of almost everyone here. Hearing that Prince yanushi wanted the traitor to sit on the Daizhu, everyone was excited, and the fear of war just now disappeared.


    "Father, please believe me," said father sparsokukotsky opposite Chechen. Just now, only the priest remained silent.


    "God, I hope we haven''t done anything wrong." father spasokukotsky lowered his head and crossed his chest again. He also acquiesced to Chechen''s words.


    Seeing that the most stubborn father sparsokukotsky was also persuaded, Cherchen smiled with relief. He waved his arm and shouted, "mercenary regiment, let''s go!"


    Originally, the mercenary regiments of four teams lined up in two teams and marched in the opposite direction.


    Due to the map of MIA jersk, Cherchen and his team soon found the nearest route around the nearest street. They advanced cautiously, fearing that there were hidden resisters nearby.


    Fortunately, the mercenary regiment did not encounter any obstruction all the way.


    When the mercenary regiment finished three quarters of the way, Victor began to attack. First there was the sound of a three pound gun, then the second and third, and then there was the sound of gunfire.


    Hearing the sound of guns and gunfire, the mercenary regiment couldn''t help accelerating its pace.


    When they arrived at the opposite street, Chechen found that there were only more than 20 enemies who had built a base there. Obviously, due to the emergency situation opposite, a lot of people have been transferred here.


    The resisters, of course, saw the mercenary regiment. They hid behind the barricade in three rows and fired continuously.


    Two mercenary regiments were shot and wounded. Others had to hide under buildings on both sides.


    "Fatima, you take people from the roof and go around their heads." Chechen shouted to Fatima who followed him.


    Fatima nodded. She kicked open a door and went in with the guards.


    "The others shot back."


    Chechen first aimed a pistol and fired a shot, and then ordered. Of course, at this distance, it is almost as impossible for a bullet from a pistol to hit a man as it is to hit the moon.


    More than a hundred people squatted or lay down and opened fire gradually. With five times the enemy''s firepower, the mercenary regiment gradually suppressed the enemy. At this time, some mercenaries got up. They threw their muskets aside, pulled out their short and wide swords and began to approach the barricade against the wall.


    Everything seems to be going well. The fastest mercenary is less than ten steps away from the resister. But at this time, the windows of high-rise buildings on both sides were suddenly poked open, and several Black Muzzles came out.


    "Be careful!" Chechen shouted.


    But it''s too late. The bullet from the muzzle of the gun hit the front mercenary and knocked him to the ground. The rest of the mercenaries stopped. They raised their heads, raised their guns and fired backwards at the window.


    Seeing that the mercenaries were suppressed back, Chechen was of course anxious. But he couldn''t think of a better way except ordering some mercenaries to fire upward.


    But suddenly, the gunfire on one side of the building stopped. Then a head with a Tatar helmet came out of a window.


    It''s Fatima! It turned out that she took her men through the wall and over the house to attack the enemy from the top according to Chechen''s order, but it happened that the resisters in the room met. With Fatima''s skill, those black shooters soon died under her knife.


    Without the sneak attack on one side, Cherchen''s pressure suddenly reduced. The remaining people couldn''t help shooting at the building windows on the other side to suppress the enemy''s fire. Another group of people continued to rush towards the barricade with short and broad swords.


    The two teams soon engaged in close combat. At this time, the sound of killing from the other end was getting closer and closer. Obviously, Victor''s side has also successfully broken the barricade.


    After four or five casualties, the remaining resisters gave up their resistance and began to retreat.


    "Head."


    Cherchen wanted to continue pursuing, but Fatima shouted at him. Fatima came down directly from the roof with a rope and landed next to Chechen.


    "Commander, there is a large group of defeated troops coming towards us. I think there are about 70 or 80 people."


    Seven or eight or ten people defeated the army, and the other party ran away wholeheartedly. If the mercenary regiment rushed up so recklessly, it might break up.


    Chechen quickly ordered the mercenary regiment to stop and array on the spot. He ordered a dozen mercenaries with good shooting skills to follow fedot up to the second floor of the rooms on both sides.


    Almost at the same time when the mercenary regiment was in formation, the defeated army appeared in the field of vision of the mercenary regiment.


    Some of the defeated troops wore chain armour, while others wore long clothes. The seven or eight people at the front had black and gray faces. It was obvious that they had just experienced a fierce battle.


    At this time, when they saw that the back road was blocked, everyone gave a desperate roar and rushed to the mercenary regiment at the fastest speed.


    The soldiers of the mercenary regiment also made an earth shaking war roar. The soldiers of each mercenary regiment took a horse step, and the right foot of the former soldier was against the left foot of the latter.


    The two teams collided. The soldiers in their front rows were instantly penetrated by each other''s weapons.


    The impact of the resisters was completely offset. They were blocked in the street. Although they were less than a hundred steps away from the exit, they just couldn''t rush through.


    The Musketeers arranged by Chechen on both sides of the street kept firing, harvesting the lives of the resisters. Condescending and such a dense formation, the bullets didn''t miss.


    Looking at his companions being killed and bleeding flowers blooming around him, others finally began to be afraid. They kept retreating, hoping to distance themselves. This is another problem. The remaining people are more difficult to resist the impact of the mercenary regiment.


    The several grenades falling overhead became the last straw to overwhelm the will of the resisters. When they found that their heads were also enemies, the soldiers'' will collapsed.


    "We surrender!" someone began to shout.


    Just at this time, Victor''s infantry also broke through the obstruction and appeared behind the resisters.
