Chapter 231

    After returning to the mercenary regiment, Chechen took Victor''s task to do the bait to lure Jan sobesky and told Fatima and other officers of the original mercenary regiment. Of course, he also mentioned otkinski''s reward of 2000 Taylor.


    After that, Chechen gave Pedro a worried look. Because in his heart, uncle Pedro couldn''t turn his head when he heard of money. My uncle will be unhappy if he doesn''t take over the task of making money.


    I didn''t expect Pedro to be angry after listening. He nodded to Cherchen with satisfaction and said, "it''s right that you didn''t take this task. It''s victor. I didn''t expect that he would take the initiative to take such a dangerous task."


    Eh? Everyone looked at Pedro with strange eyes that didn''t know you. Chechen was also surprised. He didn''t expect that uncle Pedro didn''t love money.


    "Why are you looking at me like that? Isn''t it obvious? The task of making bait with such a high risk factor is only two thousand Taylor. We really don''t think we have seen any money." Pedro said confidently.


    People suddenly realized that this is the familiar Pedro.


    After a while, argildas came in.


    "Captain, are you looking for me?" asked algeldas.


    Although algerdas was very unhappy with bachit at the first meeting, Cherchen''s separation made him mistakenly think that Cherchen took care of him, and he also respected Cherchen.


    "Yes, algerdas. General Alexander otkinski ordered all mercenaries to gather the cavalry and he would use them uniformly." Cherchen handed a command letter to algerdas.


    Although the order was conveyed by Chechen, it could not be false, algerdas carefully read the letter and confirmed the authenticity of the order.


    "I follow the arrangements of the general and the commander," said algerdas.


    Cherchen nodded. He gave a few more orders to argildas, and asked him to report to oginsky.


    "I hope he will make great contributions to the commander and become prosperous as soon as possible," Pedro whispered, looking at algerdas.


    Chechen looked at Pedro helplessly. Many of uncle''s words can''t be understood literally.


    For the next three days, ojinsky''s army was moving at a speed of 30 miles a day. After walking thirty miles, the army retreated five miles and camped. After confirming the absolute security, the grain collection team was sent to collect grain, and the size of the team was between 300 and 400, ensuring that it could support the arrival of reinforcements even in case of a raid.


    Under such a situation, although Jan sobeski followed several grain collection teams several times, he gave up because he was not sure.


    Seeing ojinsky''s army getting closer and closer to lidar castle, it will be under lidar castle in two days. If there is no suitable opportunity, Jan sobeski has to go back to the city and stick to it.


    On this day, the scouts sent by Jan sobesky brought back a message.


    A small force of more than 150 people came to a small village near the valley where Jan sobesky was hiding and is now hurrying back.


    "Are you sure this army is not the bait put out by ojinsky?"


    After hearing the Scout''s description, Jan sobesky asked suspiciously.


    The Scout standing in front of him was a pure polish. He is now wearing civilian clothes and a hemp rope around his waist. He looks no different from ordinary civilians.


    "General, at the beginning, I also doubted, because there were no less than 300 conscripts we met in the past two days, and the number of this small army was obviously too small. But when I pretended to be a farmer and sneaked into the village and listened to their commander''s speech, I was sure that this gang should not be the bait released by the rebels." the Scout said to Jan sobeski.


    Now, Jan sobesky became interested. He trusted the scout in front of him, because the soldier had fought with Bogdan hemelinitsky and Crimean Khan in Ukraine for several years. He was not only loyal, but also capable.


    "Because no commander would release such abnormal bait," said the Scout.


    "What do you mean he''s not normal?" asked Jan sobesky.


    "Well, general..."


    Then the scouts described to Jan sobeski the situation after chablin led the people into the village.


    Chablin led the grain expedition into the village when it was still dawn. As soon as he entered the village, chablin did not order the soldiers to enter the farmers'' homes and rummage through the boxes to find food and valuable things like the usual grain collection team. Instead, he ordered his men to gather all the people in the village into the church in the center of the village. When all the people in the village gathered in front of the village church, Captain Chaplin began his long speech.


    In his speech, Chaplin first angrily denounced Jan sobeski''s injustice and betrayal of Prince yanush. Then he publicized Prince yanushi''s love for the people and the son. Finally, chablin called on the villagers to contribute food and help the prince defeat Jan sobesky.


    Things are quite normal here. Some polish and Lithuanian officers do not collect materials as recklessly as mercenaries. They still have some local feelings and are willing to complete the task by gentle means as much as possible. However, when reality and desire conflict, they will still focus on completing the task and forcibly levy the villagers'' property. However, it is rare for people like Chaplin to make speeches to inspire farmers to voluntarily donate food.


    The response of the villagers was the same as before. They sent an old man with white hair and beard. The old man first angrily denounced Jan sobesky''s perverse acts, and then wept to Chaplin about the poverty and poverty of the village. Although they are willing to help the prince, they are really more than willing but less than able. If the army really wants to expropriate, there are dozens of kilograms of potatoes in the village, which can be taken away by chablin. It is also a little affection of the villagers for the prince.


    Generally, when things get to this point, the grain collection team should show its true shape and start digging three feet. Surprisingly, the man named Chaplin seemed to sympathize with the villagers'' situation. Then he ordered his men to carry a box, which was full of Taylor.


    "Then the Chaplin traded money for food with the villagers?" speculated Jan sobesky.


    The Scout shook his head. He told Jan sobesky that chablin took Taylor back after the villagers believed it and took all the food away. The scouts heard from the soldiers under him that Chaplin had done it three times in a day.


    Can play this hand. Jan sobesky finally understood what the scouts meant by "abnormal". The so-called character determines everything. As a decoy officer, the most important thing is calm and calm. Because he has to face an enemy with an advantage in number, it will be the courage of the soldiers. Only when the commander is calm and calm, the soldiers will have the courage to fight. If this kind of officer who shows off his cleverness is used as bait, he will often panic and panic in the face of crisis. Instead of rallying people, he would take the soldiers and start running away. In this way, the bait loses its meaning.


    "What did Chaplin do before? Was he of noble origin?"


    "No, according to Chaplin''s own description, he used to be a teacher at Werner University and went to Sweden to study. He joined the army only after the war began."


    "It turned out to be a fool to read." Jan sobesky sneered.


    Considering that yanushi once said to himself that he would recruit university faculty, Jan sobeski some believe that Chaplin is not a bait given by ojinsky, but a new military officer who really lacks military experience.


    "Take me to see it right away. If it''s really a piece of fat, we''ll eat it. But leave a life for that lovely Chaplin. There are fewer and fewer interesting people in the Republic. One will die."


    Finally, Jan sobesky made up his mind to see it for himself.


    When Jan sobesky''s cavalry approached chablin''s team led by scouts, chablin''s grain team was resting and preparing lunch on the back of a small hillside. Several soldiers in Polish militia uniforms stood on the top of the hillside with long guns and muskets, monitoring every move around. Jan sobesky and the scouts secretly hid on both sides of the hillside to observe. Both sides of the hillside were surrounded by the wagon of the grain collection team, and all the materials and people of the grain collection team were in this semicircle.


    Seeing this regular arrangement, Jan sobesky nodded silently. It seems that the former university teacher named Chaplin is not just a fool.


    If we want to destroy the grain collection team quickly, the only way is to take the hillside before the grain collection team has found it, and then get a commanding advantage from the hillside and rush down. But any wind and grass around could not fail to attract the attention of the soldiers on the hillside. If you want to be imperceptible, you have to destroy the Sentinels on the hillside at the moment of the attack.


    It seems difficult, but it''s not difficult for Jan sobesky.


    Jan sobeski called the six best armored Cossacks in the army. They were ordered to move secretly to the hillside. At the moment of Jan sobeski''s attack, they killed the Sentinels with bows and arrows in advance to prevent them from giving a warning. Jan sobeski also asked some dragon cavalry to guard and investigate around. Although Jan sobeski could almost determine that Chaplin was a normal grain collection force, he was careful and there was no big mistake.


    A few wisps of cooking smoke began to emerge from behind the hillside, when the soldiers began to cook lunch. The six armored Cossacks chosen by Jan sobesky wore thick camouflage and crawled towards the hillside. They are very careful. Any wind and grass on the hillside will stop them.


    This caution also made them successful. The armored Cossacks moved to a distance of 20 meters from the top of the hill. At this distance, the Tatar bow used by the armored Cossacks could almost hit every shot.


    Taking advantage of the turn of the sentry on the hillside, a armored Cossack used his mirror to send a signal to the grove behind him - ready to attack.


    Then suddenly, the armored Cossacks ambushed at the foot of the hillside jumped from the ground at the same time. In pairs, they pointed the tartar bow with strings in their hands at the sentry. With the vibration of several bows, three sentinels on the hillside were shot at the neck and head at the same time, and lost their lives in an instant.


    Just then, the cavalry hidden in the woods rushed out of the woods. This is a cavalry unit under Jan sobesky, with a total of 100 horses.


    From the beginning, the cavalry raised the horse speed to the maximum. In the blink of an eye, the first row of cavalry rushed to the hillside. The slope of the hillside slowed down the cavalry''s horses, but the inertia brought by the high speed made them climb the top of the slope in a very short time. Next, it was time for them to attack the unsuspecting grain collection team from a commanding position.


    But what greeted them at the foot of the hillside was not the easy prey, but the dense forest of guns. Nearly a hundred long guns formed a dense forest of guns on the back of the hillside, and several winged cavalry who couldn''t hold their horses in the front ran into it. At this time, even if you have high martial arts skills, it won''t help. Although the winged cavalry waved their lances and sabers vigorously, they still tied their horses and men to their long guns.


    Then the Lancers roared. They took the lances in their hands and pushed them. After the bodies of the first row of winged cavalry fell down, they went up against the cavalry who kept rushing down.


    The two sides fell into a bloody stalemate in the middle of the back of the hillside. The cavalry pushed to the top of the mountain by their companions kept falling into the gun forest, which was twisted by long guns and halberds. But they are not the most unfortunate, the most pitiful is the cavalry on the top of the mountain. They were caught in the middle, neither up nor down. They became the living targets of the firemen at the foot of the mountain.


    When the war roar came, Jan sobesky knew he was still in the trap. The war roar''s accents were all German and Spanish, and the conscription team was completely disguised by mercenaries.


    "Get out, get out."


    When the first gunshot sounded and a blood mist filled the top of the slope, Jan sobesky immediately ordered the cavalry who were still unable to advance or retreat on the slope to withdraw quickly. He was acutely aware that behind the bait of the grain collection team, the hunter was coming soon.


    But how could Victor, who managed to lure Jan sobesky out, let him escape so easily. At this time, Victor led a small team of halberds, waving a long halberd, and swept the winged cavalry and armored Cossacks to the ground with their horses. They rushed to the top of the slope and killed the cavalry who began to retreat.


    The cavalry who lost speed was no match for the infantry with long handled weapons. In particular, the winged cavalry, which once frightened the infantry of all countries, completely lost its use in the crowded battlefield. And because of the terrain, it was difficult for them to even retreat,


    Some winged cavalry and armored Cossacks jumped off their horses. They fought desperately with sabers and spearmen.


    At this time, gunfire also appeared on Jan sobesky''s left wing, which was a cavalry Legion composed of various teams of cavalry. They were cruising around. After hearing the gunshot, they rushed in the direction of victor.
