The night attack of Shang · sobeski the night before yesterday soon repulsed the reinforcements from all directions. But Jan sobesky escaped through the east gate. Yes, Ximen''s night attack is just a cover, or a bait to lure all coalition forces. When the defenders of Lida Fort believed that their commander would lead them out of the siege, Jan sobesky betrayed them.
The defenders who returned to Lida fort were in an uproar after discovering the truth. They cursed Jan sobesky''s betrayal and opened the city gate of Lida fort. In this way, Lida fort, which had been held for three months, was occupied.
In the night attack, Victor was seriously injured. Seven or eight wounds were blown out of his body by a grenade, and he became the highest ranking officer of the coalition army on the eve of victory.
Although the defenders of Lida Fort surrendered, Brauer wickensburg and oginsky were angry at last night''s loss. After collecting the Garrison''s weapons, they drove the remaining more than 2000 garrisons of Lida Fort into the trenches of Lida Fort except nobles and officers, and then solved them all with muskets and grenades.
The refugees who fled into the city were not spared, and Swedish soldiers shot them one by one. Father Marek, who supported Jan sobesky, was hanged from a flagpole in the city. Protestant Swedes will not show mercy to Catholic priests.
After doing these things, marshal Brauer Williamsburg even held a victory banquet in the castle to celebrate the victory. Every officer was invited, including junior officers such as tsepesh and yelishei.
In the barracks of the mercenary regiment, some officers who didn''t want to go were asking Cherchen for leave.
"Captain, fedot and I are both czar Russians. It''s OK to be in the mercenary regiment at ordinary times. We''re really not used to attending such banquets." yelishei took fedot to tell the lie. The latter kept nodding, indicating that he meant it.
Father sparsokukotsky also made it clear that he would not attend the dinner. He did not shy away from seeing Brauer wickensburg, who slaughtered the soldiers and civilians of Lida fort, as a devil. Of course, the dinner that night was a feast for the devil. As a former priest, how could he go to a dinner hosted by the devil!
Although bachit spoke mildly, he also hated celebrating the so-called "victory" with these murderous demons. Especially those nobles and officers who launched the "rebellion" survived, and all innocent soldiers were slaughtered.
Ingrid and Fatima were not invited as women, but according to their faces, even if they were invited, they would not go.
"Well, now the only people going to the Marshal''s dinner are tsepesh, argildas and uncle Pedro. Are you three?" Chechen turned his head and said to Pedro.
Chechen granted everyone leave. He was also shocked by the tragedy in Fort lidar. Originally, the model of a strong army in his mind would kill the city, which was unacceptable to Cherchen.
Originally, General Douglas, who was very satisfied with the performance of the mercenary regiment in the battle, hinted that after the war, he would give advice to field marshal Brauer wickensburg and ask Cherchen''s mercenary regiment to come from Prince yanush and fight under his command. At that time, Cherchen readily accepted General Douglas''s kindness. Because he thought it was a good way to leave yanush without uncle Pedro''s opposition, and he could learn a lot by joining General Douglas.
But now, his idea has wavered. Because he met him who served the Swedish army and had to face endless massacres and atrocities. What''s the difference between this and yanush?
"And you, captain. You''re going to the dinner too." Pedro heard that Chechen mentioned only three names and hurriedly reminded Chechen that he must go, otherwise he would certainly make the marshal dissatisfied.
"Uncle, I''m very tired. Go with caipeishi and them." Chechen said with dismay. At the thought of those bodies buried in the ditch in the future, Chechen wanted to vomit.
Pedro wants to persuade Cherchen a few more words. But when the words came to his mouth, he couldn''t say them. The massacre of thousands of people is really cruel enough. Pedro feels the same. When Magdeburg fell on May 9, 1631, count Tilly, who had fought with Protestants in Netherland and other places, let all his mercenaries plunder for three days. More than 30000 Magdeburg citizens were killed. At that time, Pedro was not a few years older than Chechen and was a fledgling young man. When other mercenaries were slaughtering and looting, Pedro vomited.
"Then, commander, since you are worried about Victor''s injury, you have to see him in the evening and can''t attend the Marshal''s dinner. If the marshal asks, I will tell the truth. I believe the marshal can understand." finally, Pedro found a reason for Cherchen. Victor is still awake from his serious injury. He is also a compatriot and friend of Cherchen and Pedro. Cherchen is forgiven for thinking about Victor''s injury and not going to the dinner. No one can find anything wrong.
Cherchen nodded, indicating that he acquiesced to Pedro''s statement.
Zeppesh, on the other hand, glanced thoughtfully at algeldas.
After coming out of the camp, zeppesh pulled argildas aside. He whispered something in argildas'' ear.
"You want me to frame the commander!" algeldas looked at zepesh in shock. This is completely incompatible with his noble glory.
Zepesh put his hand over algeldas'' mouth.
"Damn it, do you want the whole mercenary regiment to hear it! How can this be regarded as a frame up? It can''t be regarded as a frame up. You saw at that time that the deserters did escape from sparsokukotsky, and the priest did deliberately open a gap, didn''t he?" zepesh whispered.
"But how do you know that the head asked the priest to do so?"
"I don''t know."
"You don''t know!!! What are you doing?"
"Maybe it''s the commander''s order. Why do you care so much? This is an opportunity. As long as we bring down Cherchen, I''m sure Prince yanush will appoint you and me as the commander of the mercenary regiment. With such a Powerful Mercenary regiment, you and I are not small officers under the fence. Even general otkinski has to talk to us kindly. We will be in the hands of the great prince Don''t you always want to revive your family? This is the best opportunity. "
Algerdas wanted to object, but the revival family of zepesh tightly gripped his throat and made him speechless.
