Chapter 294

    History is such a coincidence.


    On the day when the rebel army led by Stefan was defeated by the Swedes, another Stefan also launched his own war in yaroslaw, not far from Lublin. On the one hand, Swedish general Simon Grendel and his two Swedish Squadrons (the infantry squadron is composed of 408 people, including 216 long spearmen and 192 Musketeers) and 3000 Polish puppet troops, and on the other hand, 8000 people led by Stefan charnietsky, the commander of Krakow of the Republic of Poland.


    Shortly after the Swedes invaded chinstohova, general Stefan charnietsky announced that he had abandoned the agreement with the Swedes on the grounds that the Swedes had first violated another agreement. Due to the achievements of the general army in defending Krakow, many rebel and civilian groups came to him. Even field marshal lubaumatsky of Lvov sent him supplies.


    After regrouping, Stefan chasnetsky began to attack the Swedish army everywhere. Every time, he attacked the Swedish grain collection team, grain transportation team and garrison with a small group of elite and fast cavalry, and fought and ran without dragging water.


    Swedish general Simon Grendel was ordered to deal with Stefan chasnetsky, but he was led by Stefan chasnetsky by the nose.


    Yaroslav was the battlefield chosen by Stefan charnietsky for Simon Grendel. Prior to this, the general army of charnietsky had hung Simon and his army around the area of Yaroslav for countless times in a week.


    During the day, Polish light cavalry will emerge from all kinds of unexpected places. They attacked the grain transport team and the weak Polish puppet army, and left with one blow without delay. When general Simon sent Swedish heavy pistol cavalry to fight back, the Polish light cavalry would use their speed advantage to quickly disappear into the vast snowfield.


    Every night, there was a gunshot in the village where the Swedish army was stationed, and when the Swedes woke up from their dreams and hurried to the place where the gunshot rang, the shooter had fled. And when they are ready to continue to rest, the gunfire will ring again. Not one day, they can have a good sleep.


    More painful than being unable to sleep is that Swedes have to cook with melted ice water, which makes many people in the army upset. Because all the wells were destroyed by the poles. Polish women cut off their long whips, cut them into dregs and threw them into the well. The simple filtering device in the hands of Swedes cannot filter, and drinking this water mixed with hair is fatal.


    In the Far East, Krakow''s general army''s tactics are known as "guerrilla warfare".


    Although Simon Grendel is also a veteran of Sweden, when he realized that his army would be dragged down without polish attack and chose to retreat, Stefan chanetsky had gathered all his forces and was ready to encircle and annihilate him.


    When the Swedish army retreated to Yaroslav, the main force led by Stefan charnietsky blocked his way.


    Now, even if general Simon Greendale knew that his army was extremely tired, he had to fight passively.


    General Simon Grendel divided the Swedish army into two lines. The two squadrons of the Swedish army with the strongest combat effectiveness were on the second line, while the 2000 strong Polish puppet army discharged the Spanish Dafang array, which was still popular in Eastern Europe at that time. In this already backward tactical system, several thousand person long gun arrays with a depth of more than 10 rows are staggered on the battlefield to cover each other. On both sides of each long gun array, there are columns composed of four columns of firerope gunmen, with 12 firerope gunmen in each column. These Musketeers shot in turn in the battle, and then pushed to the back to fill, so as to maintain the continuity of fire.


    Simon Grendel didn''t want these Polish Royal armies to use more advanced Swedish tactics, but he was afraid that once these Royal armies formed a smaller squadron to fight, they would disperse. Because these imperial Association armies are used to reporting regiment operations, the more people they have, the more secure they will feel and the stronger their combat effectiveness will be, on the contrary, the weaker they will be.


    General Simon Grendel also specially put the experienced and most effective Swedish pistol cavalry together with the transport team with shallow experience and poor combat effectiveness. He had a premonition that Stefan charnietsky would surely attack his weak link.


    Cavalry units composed of a small number of Polish puppet troops were deployed on both wings of the infantry unit. The artillery position composed of six guns is located in the forefront of the whole army. Worried about the flank encirclement of the light cavalry dominated by the Polish army, the old general also deployed a large number of baggage vehicles on both sides of the army to cover the peripheral Musketeers against the cavalry.


    Because Stefan charnietsky''s army had a two to one advantage in number, he chose to lengthen the formation, deployed the infantry in the center, and deployed cavalry troops on both wings to expand an extremely wide formation to surround the inferior forces of the Swedes. The Polish army deployed the worst fighting peasant army in the front line. They are all composed of farmers who put down their hoes; Behind them is an army composed of a large number of formally trained civilian groups. The most effective foreign mercenary Corps is deployed as a general reserve in the third line.


    At the same time, Stefan charnietsky''s general army also has some artillery with more quantity and less quality than the Swedes for fire support.


    The first shot in the battle was fired by the Krakow general.


    A 50 member Polish pistol cavalry spread out at the forefront of the front. They disturbed the infantry array of the Polish puppet army with pistols in an attempt to lure the other party to attack first. Unfortunately, the Swedish artillery used shells to disperse the pistol cavalry.


    The real battle between the two armies began with the artillery firing at each other. Although the Swedish artillery has an advantage in quality. But luck was not on their side.


    In the first round of shelling, Duke Miller, the artillery commander of the Swedish army, was hit in two by a solid shell. His blood dyed the earth red, while his green intestines wriggled in the snow like earthworms.


    The Swedish artillery experienced a brief period of chaos after losing its commander. But they soon regained their composure and were replaced by Duke Miller''s adjutant.


    However, the Polish royal army deployed in the front line is not as calm as the Swedish army. Under the pressure of continuous shelling, the flustered Polish imperial army launched an assault first. A large number of huangxie infantry in the front line launched a charge against the continuous firing of artillery and enemy Musketeers. They quickly crossed the line of life and death caused by the artillery fire of both sides and launched a close battle with their compatriots.


    Seeing that the infantry fell into a scuffle, Stefan charnietsky''s cavalry deployed on both wings also launched a large-scale encirclement on both wings. With their carbines, they kept shooting at the flanks of the Polish puppet army and the cavalry troops deployed by the Polish puppet army on both wings.


    A Polish cavalry attacked Simon''s transport team that he feared before the war. However, due to the obstruction of the traffic, they can only shoot from a distance. Equipped with high-quality plate armour, Swedish pistol cavalry do not have to worry too much about the firing of muskets at a long distance. And because of strict discipline, they will never rashly launch a pursuit.


    A squadron of Swedish soldiers scattered on both sides and fought back with muskets. Their high-quality mikale muskets successfully repelled the Polish cavalry.


    In the hand to hand combat, the peasant army deployed by Stefan charnietsky in the central front line suffered heavy casualties. Although they almost fought to the last person, they still failed to stop the hail of bullets from the Huang Xie army.


    The Polish Imperial Army miraculously defeated the peasant army and occupied the artillery positions on the front line, but their strength and physical strength were also greatly consumed. And that is exactly what Stefan charnietsky intended.


    Seeing that their artillery positions were occupied, the militia troops on the second line immediately launched a counter offensive. Holding high their long guns, they charged in a dense square. The Musketeers on both sides of the phalanx also kept filling and firing, effectively suppressing the Polish puppet army opposite. In front of the phalanx with guns and spears of the civilian groups with higher morale and physical strength, the infantry of the Polish imperial army began to be on the verge of collapse.


    Stefan charnietsky took advantage of the situation to launch a full-scale counterattack. The foreign mercenary corps, the real elite of the general army, was put into the battlefield. The cavalry deployed outside them also saw the opportunity and launched another attack. In the attack between the two forces, the Polish puppet army finally collapsed.


    At this moment, general Simon Grendel had to put his team into the battlefield.


    Swedish pistol cavalry were sent to the two wings to block the encirclement of enemy cavalry, and the infantry of two squadrons supported the front line.


    However, due to the counterattack of the Swedish pistol cavalry, their rear was empty. A large number of Polish light cavalry began to circle behind them from the side of the Swedish army. Some cavalry jumped off their horses and removed the obstacle.


    Without the support of Swedish pistol cavalry, the transport team at the bottom of the front was unable to withstand such high-intensity attacks because of lack of training. They retreated towards the front. This in turn led to the front-line infantry and cavalry being surrounded by the Polish army. Stefan charnietsky''s cavalry can strike from all directions.


    But until then, the Swedish army was still tenacious resistance. Coerced by them, the Polish imperial army had to die hard for the time being.


    Seeing that Simon Grendel was still dying, Stefan charnietsky threw his mace - the Polish dare to die cavalry.


    Because Stefan charnietsky has no winged cavalry known as the strongest assault force of the Republic. In the face of the square array of Swedish long gunmen, it is difficult to win without a strong assault force. So the general army found many long guns of the same length as the super long lance of the wing cavalry to use for their light cavalry, and asked them to train wall charging.


    This is the first time these Polish daredevil cavalry have demonstrated the results of their training on the battlefield.


    If you row into the wall, those who block will be swept.


    "Block! Block!"


    Simon Grendel cried out in despair.


    If the Swedish long Gunners stand in front of the Polish daredevil cavalry, they may be able to resist with their strict training and iron discipline. After all, the daredevil cavalry did not have the excellent armor of the winged cavalry as protection. Unfortunately, Simon grindell put the Polish Imperial Army on the periphery as cannon fodder. These people saw that the overwhelming cavalry had long been weak in legs. When they saw that their own Musketeers could kill but could not stop the charge of the daredevil cavalry, the commander musketeers of the imperial Association who stood in the front line completely lost their courage. They threw down their long guns and began to flee.


    The wave of rout hit the two Swedish squadrons trying to hold on, and their formation was also washed away.


    Seeing nothing to do, general Simon Grendel, under the protection of several bodyguards, tried to escape from the encirclement.


    But in the end, general Simon Grendel, who fled, was thrown off his horse because of a slip of foot. He was captured by the poles, and the commander of the Polish imperial army with him died here. A large number of Swedish infantry were easily slaughtered by Polish cavalry in flight. As early as the appearance of the puppet wing cavalry, they lost their will to fight. When the Polish puppet army surrendered in batches.
