Chapter 242

    It was the army led by general Stanislaw lianzkoronsky who arrived at Lida fort. This army has 8000 people, not the tens of thousands that zepesh told Chechen. Although the number was not as large as that of the prince''s army led by oginsky, and the arrival time was nearly a month late, it had gathered all the troops that could be sent by Jan zamois and others.


    Because during the period when yanush sent troops to Lida fort, the war situation between the Republic of Poland and the kingdom of Sweden in other places changed again.


    This is also the reason why king kazimizh, who was abroad, was eager to reach an armistice agreement with Czarist Russia - that is, Krakow fell.


    As the ancient capital of the Republic of Poland, Krakow has the same political status as Warsaw. Because of the Daguangming Mountain Monastery in chenstohova, Krakow represents much more religious than Warsaw. This is also why Stefan charnietsky, the commander in chief, asked the king to appoint him as the commander in chief of Krakow immediately after hearing the news of the Swedish invasion. However, although such a significant city had a famous general, it still surrendered after several months under the attack of the Swedish army.


    After the general army of Stefan charnietsky had protected the lives of all officers and soldiers and the property of the people in the city from infringement, he led thousands of disarmed officers and soldiers to withdraw from Krakow. They will be in the custody of the Swedes for three months, and will not be able to leave freely until 90 days. During this period, they shall not fight with the Swedish army and its servants.


    When the Swedish army commander alvid wiedenberg led the army into Krakow on October 7, Lublin, located between Krakow, Warsaw and Werner, is likely to become the next target of the Swedish army. In such a severe situation, it is not easy for Jan zamois to send troops to support him.


    As soon as the 8000 strong army arrived at Lida fort, it broke through the southern encirclement of the prince''s army. They were in the same place with the defenders in the city. In order to prevent the scattered troops from being broken by each one, ojinsky hurriedly gathered all the troops together.


    The original siege turned into a confrontation between two armies with almost the same number. This was beyond both oginsky''s expectations and Jan sobesky''s expectations.


    In Jan sobeski''s plan, he had predicted that yanushi would not send all his troops to attack himself in order to defend Werner and deal with deputy commander sapega, and the enemy attacking Lida Fort would not exceed 15000 at most. Stanislaw leantskoronsky, Jan zamois and others can send at least 20000 reinforcements. These reinforcements, together with the defenders of Lida fort, are very sure to deal with a tired division that has been fighting for more than a month.


    So at the beginning, Jan sobeski didn''t resolutely clear the walls and fields. He just left enough food for the defenders of Lida fort and the residents who retreated into the city for four months.


    But people are not as good as heaven. Now more than 10000 mouths are going to eat inside and outside Lida fort, and oginsky puts on a look of standing by for help and resolutely does not fight him. Jan sobeski can''t let these 10000 people attack the defenders with the same number of fortifications. He can only continue the confrontation with ojinski''s army and expect the other party to consume food before himself.


    Therefore, in the next most of the time, the competition between the two sides became a competition for missing fish and materials. The armored Cossack cavalry and Hungarian light cavalry of the prince''s army sweep the defense area carefully inspected the day before every day. The Tatar cavalry of the Jan sobesky camp almost repeated the same thing. The cavalry on both sides often met by chance when they were hungry, and then a short and fierce fight broke out. But no matter which side is beaten away by the opponent, it can not have an impact on the war situation. The entire Lida fort area had been devastated by the military disaster when ojinsky marched, and now it is devastated by them.


    Similar plots will continue to be staged in the following ten years. Finally, the rich and small polish areas will be transformed into thousands of miles of red land.


    Now, what can guarantee the victory of one side is no longer good weapons and sufficient troops. Oginsky urged Werner''s base camp to carry out long-distance material transportation three times a day. The most time, yanush sent 99 livestock and 200 loaves of bread to the front line of Lida fort.


    On Jan sobesky''s side, it is by no means empty and there is no foreign aid. Like the first Prince''s army, nearly a thousand vendors with the army came to Lida fort with Stanislaw lianzkoronsky''s troops. Their truck reserves became a hot product during the campaign. Some Armenian businessmen with more means even tried to import food and meat from enemy occupied areas such as svutsk to earn high returns. However, this kind of commercial behavior of providing timely help is also a drop in the bucket for tens of thousands of troops. Moreover, in the long camp, in addition to the soldiers, there are refugees driven by ojinsky and the residents of the city.


    Such a sit in war lasted another month. In the twinkling of an eye, it was late autumn, and the two sides could no longer persist. Prince yanush put down his noble dignity and asked King Carl x for help and begged him to send troops to support Lida fort. Jan sobeski also knew the news of Pavel sapega''s promotion to the commander. He knew that his efforts to subdue sapega by virtue of his military achievements had failed, so he also put down his airs and asked the current Lithuanian commander for help.


    But these things have little impact on today''s Cherchen, or have not been affected. He is now annoyed by another thing. The cause of the matter is that father sparsokukotsky came back, and the reason why the father came back so late is that he was kidnapped by bandits and did not contact mihau.


    Of course, this is a lie told by father sparsokukotsky, but in reality, father sparsokukotsky''s escape and return is also dramatic.


    Originally, Pedro did not expect that the war against Lida Fort would be so protracted. He only gave the family holding father sparsokukotsky two months'' money. But in the twinkling of an eye, two months passed. At first, the family expected Pedro to continue to send money, but the next month, when Pedro still didn''t send money, the family no longer undertook the task of "taking care of" father spasokukotsky. They threw the priest out of a few blocks one night and ran away.


    Poor father sparsokukotsky was found and saved by the officers and soldiers patrolling the street the next day. When he learned that the battle in Lida fort was not over and that Cherchen and his family were still on the front line, father sparsokukotsky hurried over with the grain convoy.
