Soon, okinsky organized a second attack. Despite the obstruction of the artillery commander, he ordered a three pound artillery team to push the artillery to the entrance of the city gate and shoot close. It was a near death operation. When the gunner received the order from ojinsky''s adjutant, each soldier''s legs shook like a sieve.


    But the military order was difficult. No matter how afraid they were of death, they pushed the artillery out of the position and dragged it to the city gate.


    The garrison at Fort Lida found the gun at the first time. For a moment, shells and bullets rained around the gun.


    A shell fell around the gunner and bounced back from the ground. The shell swept the whole artillery team. First, it hit the head of a gunner on the left. Before the gunner could make a scream, his head burst like a watermelon; Then the shell went through the soldier who had lost his head and hit the gunner on his right. The gunner''s neck was broken and bent at a strange angle. The shell fell to the ground, but it jumped up again and broke the palm of the third gunner standing behind the gun. Stunned by the infernal scene in front of him, the gunner looked blankly at his broken limb, but this expression became his last frame, because a bullet hit his eyebrow.


    An artillery team was destroyed in an instant, only three minutes before it left the trench.


    "Sir, I refuse to let my hand go down and die again. This is a naked massacre." the artillery officer firmly said to oginsky that he would not send a team to perform the same task as death until his Gunners could safely reach the city gate cave.


    The artillery officer was a direct subordinate of Prince yanush, not under ojinsky, so he dared to speak so recklessly.


    Okinsky also realized the stupidity of the order he had just given. He assured the artillery officer that such a thing would not happen again in the future.


    But this assurance satisfied the artillery, but caused the dissatisfaction of the infantry. The Polish infantry representatives clamored for the same life and power, and refused to attack again until the artillery removed the threat from the city wall.


    Oginsky had no such good attitude towards the infantry. He beat several of the loudest soldiers with a whip and threatened to hang them from a tree. The infantry retreated and promised to follow orders and continue the attack.


    In such an awkward atmosphere, ojinski organized several more charges, but each time as long as the enemy''s firepower was strong, the Polish infantry turned around and fled first, leaving the mercenaries led by Tilly to fight alone.


    Seeing the war like this, okinski knew that he could not attack again today anyway. He had to stop the troops to rest and think about the long term tomorrow.


    On the same night, Jan sobeski organized the soldiers and civilians in Lida fort to block the blasted city gate with wood and stones, which gave him no idea of another attack from here.


    Also because of the poor command of ojinski and the poor performance of Polish infantry, all foreign mercenaries laughed at him.


    But in any case, the war will continue. Whether Jan sobeski can be eliminated is related to Prince yanush''s reputation in front of the Swedes and the subsequent popular support. In any case, we can''t give up halfway.


    After more than 20 days of futile shelling, ojinsky finally accepted the reality. As soon as he wrote a letter for help to Prince yanush, asking the prince to transport artillery with larger caliber to the front line of Lida fort, he continued his attack by means of siege and tunnels.


    Now the infantry began to relax. Ojinski ordered that only one seventh of the infantry in each attack direction cooperate with the engineers to dig the tunnel every day, and the others stay in the barracks to guard against a possible raid on Lida fort. But the order changed when it came to the bottom. Only one fifth of the people stayed in the barracks, and the others went to the mobile market to drink and look for the stray warbler. Every night, in addition to the bright moonlight, the brightest and most lively is the mobile market.


    "I said, deputy head, it''s so late. Go and have a rest. I''m here."


    In a tunnel, zeppesh was begging to say to Pedro. Today, it''s caipesh''s turn to cooperate with the team to dig the tunnel. Caipesh wanted to leave the soldiers here to continue digging themselves and have a good time in the mobile market, but Chechen ran over in person.


    "It''s all right. I don''t work and I''m not tired." Pedro smiled and refused to accept Pepe''s "kindness". He still doesn''t know what''s wrong with Pepe.


    This time, caipeishi''s original smiling face became a bitter gourd face. It seems that I can''t go today.


    "Caipeishi," suddenly, Chechen said as if he remembered something: "the head asked you to dig the tunnel deeper. Did you do it?"


    Digging the tunnel deeper is the valuable experience obtained by Cherchen from the battle of Smolensk. At that time, it was the melting snow on the tunnel that led to the discovery of zaporoze Cossack''s tunnel and its destruction by Franco. Although it is summer now, snow melting will not happen, but there are green vegetation on the surface. If the tunnel is excavated too shallow, it is easy to wither the plants, so that the defenders of the castle can find it.


    "Don''t worry. According to the commander''s instructions, I have asked the soldiers to dig another half of the depth according to the original standard." tsepesh answered as quickly as he asked Pedro. For this sudden increase in workload, he was complained by his own men.


    "That''s good. Remember to observe whether the vegetation on the tunnel is different from that around every day." Pedro nodded calmly and didn''t forget to remind him.


    Just then Pedro''s ear moved, and he seemed to hear something unusual.


    "Zeppesh, did you hear anything?" Pedro asked softly.


    After listening to Chechen''s question, caipeishi also listened attentively.


    "It''s like footsteps, deputy commander," replied tsepesh. Zeppesh heard the sound of countless feet walking softly.


    "Is it a sneak attack?" Chechen asked Cai Peishi to remind others to pay attention. Then he went out of the tunnel.


    "Deputy commander, something''s going on," fedotte said, taking a small team to Pedro. He also found something unusual.


    "I know. Go back to the head and ask him to send a team over. The others will hide in the trench with me."


    Fido nodded. He signed and ordered the soldiers to follow the deputy commander into the trench.


    As the footsteps drew closer and closer, Pedro could feel the soil on the trench wall beginning to fall.


    Finally, a human shadow covered Chechen''s head.
