Under the heavy reward, Jeri haretsky''s men showed 120000 fighting enthusiasm. Some armored Cossacks even ran after them in order not to let others win the first prize. They pushed down the wooden raft originally used to block bullets on the horse, and also created a slope.
After a while, more than a dozen armored Cossacks had crossed the trench and chased after Pedro and them. Others pulled the horse out of the ground with ropes to open the way for the follow-up cavalry.
Pedro, father sparsokukotsky and others ran in front, while the armored Cossacks chased after them. From time to time, both sides opened fire on each other with pistols and bows and arrows.
Father sparsokukotsky''s leg was injured in Polotsk. Although it recovered later, it also fell to the root of the disease. Once the priest exercises violently for a long time, his lower leg will cramp. Unfortunately, the priest smoked when he crossed the trench just now, which slowed down his running speed. In order to keep up with the others, Pedro had to help him walk together.
Pedro helped father spasokukotsky and looked back to see how far the enemy was. Suddenly, a dark figure rushed towards his face door. Pedro shrunk his neck and a feather arrow flew past his helmet. Although he was fine, he was still scared out of a cold sweat. At such a close distance, if the position of the feather arrow is offset a little, even if its helmet is strong, it will be pierced.
"Father, you can walk faster," Pedro complained as he ran.
"God will bless us." father spasokukotsky smiled piously at Pedro, who almost didn''t cross his chest.
"You''ll say that too," Pedro whispered, but his feet ran faster.
"Uncle, get out of the way."
Suddenly, Pedro heard Chechen''s voice. He looked ahead and saw that Chechen led eight Musketeers in a row and stopped in the middle of the road.
"All down!" cried Pedro, leading him to crawl on the ground with father sparsokukotsky.
"Fire!"
Seeing that everyone on his side had fallen to the ground, Chechen quickly gave the order to shoot.
Nine muskets went off at the same time. This fire density was not enough to kill the pursuers behind Pedro, but also killed one of them and forced the other armored Cossacks to spread to both sides and hide behind the tree.
Taking this opportunity, Chechen quickly picked up Pedro and them.
"Uncle, let''s go." Chechen helped hold father spasokukotsky and said to Pedro.
"You boy, don''t believe everything in the book. You don''t listen. Now, did the book teach you what to do when the cavalry dismounted and broke through the trench?" cried Pedro.
Chechen was also a little embarrassed. He didn''t expect Colonel Jerzy haretsky to be so full of tricks.
So, Chechen stopped talking. He helped the priest and ran forward. The group of musketeers opened fire in groups of three or two.
Chechen and others haven''t run far. Suddenly, they feel the earth trembling under their feet.
"It''s the Colonel''s cavalry!"
Pedro was so experienced that he immediately knew why the earth trembled because hundreds of iron hoofs were beating on the ground.
The voice was getting closer and closer, and Chechen''s face was as gray as death. He knows very well that he can''t run four legs with two legs.
Everyone stopped.
"Nephew, we''re going to die together this time. So are you. What are you doing back?" Pedro complained to Chechen. Having said that, Pedro''s hand and sword were half raised.
"If I don''t come back, do I still leave you there alone?" Chechen asked with a smile. He gripped the long thin sword in his hand.
Father sparsokuktsky''s spears were pointed forward.
Finally, the cavalry led by Jerzy halletsky showed their ferocious faces. The colonel was at the front of the cavalry arrow. He raised his arm flat and pointed his saber forward over the horse''s head.
Dozens to hundreds, the ending seems doomed.
Suddenly, bursts of mountain howling came from the woods. The noise went higher and higher, crossed the treetops and startled countless birds.
Even Colonel Jerzy haretsky''s horse was startled by the sudden noise. The horse hissed and raised its hooves, almost dropping Jerzy halletsky.
The cavalry stopped their horses. They looked around and didn''t know where the sound came from.
The howling came and went quickly. When the cavalry stopped the horse, the sound disappeared.
But what followed was the most terrible nightmare of the yeri haretsky.
Countless people rushed out of the woods. These people wear all kinds of clothes and have all kinds of weapons in their hands. But in an instant, seven or eight cavalry soldiers near the edge of the forest were knocked off their horses.
Then, people rushed out from behind Chechen and others. They crossed the exhausted Chechen and others and fought with the Colonel''s cavalry.
Che Chen saw an unusually tall familiar figure in this group of people.
"Uncle, it seems that the leader of bachit is them." Chechen pointed to one of them waving a huge axe.
"They have a conscience and know that they will come back to support us." Pedro also recognized bachit, and he couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Bachit''s huge axe was waved in the regiment, and each time it would bring a pot of blood. This blood includes human blood and horse blood.
"Kill, kill."
Yezh haretsky killed a refugee with a hatchet, but his arm was also hit by flail. If it hadn''t been for the protection of cotton padded clothes in chain armour, I''m afraid the Colonel''s hands would have been so useless.
Jeri haretsky endured the pain. When he saw that his cavalry were gathered on the road and difficult to move, they were killed one by one by the enemy''s long weapons. He quickly ordered his men to retreat.
On hearing the Colonel''s order, the cavalry hurried their horses and began to retreat. After paying more than a dozen lives, the colonel and his men finally broke through.
"Leader bachit, thanks to you this time," Chechen said to bachit as he approached the cheering crowd.
"Commander Chechen, don''t say that. If my people hadn''t left you and left the battlefield early, you wouldn''t have retreated here. Alas, I shouldn''t have escorted the carriage away in person." bachit not only didn''t accept Chechen''s thanks, but apologized to Chechen.
At the beginning of the battle between the mercenary regiment and the winged cavalry, bachit took people and dragged the chariot to retreat. When he took the carriage back to a safe place and was ready to rush back to support, hundreds of his own men had already fled. Bachit caught a deserter and asked about the situation. He couldn''t help feeling ashamed of the greed and fear of death of his men. Bachit stopped everyone, gathered everyone with his prestige and took everyone back.
Because bachit had a good ear and eyes, he could distinguish the sound of a horse''s hoof from a long distance. When he felt the vibration of the ground and knew that the Colonel''s cavalry was about to catch up, bachit made everyone speed up and let some people encircle Jerzy haretsky from both wings from the trees, so that the opponent could not find out how many men and horses he had.
