With the addition of 700 Hessian mercenaries and algerdas, the mercenary regiment finally didn''t have to worry about the number. After that, Chechen, bachit and others tried their best to find some veterans of the original mercenary Corps. Finally, it has reached the scale of 2000 people.


    During this period, all the troops in Lithuania were in full swing. According to the order of commander sapega, no less than 30000 troops will leave Lithuania for Warsaw before the end of May to meet with Lvov''s army led by King kazimiz and marshal lubomatsky.


    As Chechen''s rival in love, Prince Mikhail vishnewitsky is also preparing for his first battle.


    Princess Catherine has been looking forward to this day. She hoped that her son would lead a single army to Warsaw like his prince yarimi. In this way, their flag of vishnevitsky will fly on the battlefield again. This is very good for the little prince to accumulate political capital and improve his reputation. To this end, the princess not only interceded with trustees everywhere, but also purchased equipment and hired soldiers for the little prince with the assets of the zamoshi family owned by herself as collateral from Jewish bankers. And its number has reached the scale of five winged cavalry companies and five hundred cavalry.


    Prince mihau is also full of longing to go to the battlefield. Although he was as old as Chechen, he had always grown up under his mother''s wings. What he heard was mostly the heroic deeds of his father, and he had no understanding of the cruelty of the war. In the little prince''s mind, fighting is nothing more than occupying a highland, jumping on a horse, then commanding teams of soldiers to charge the enemy and defeat them, just like playing chess. Since the war is so simple and he can marry the beautiful Natalie, how can Prince mihau not expect it?


    "Your Highness, the prince''s spirit in heaven must be very happy to see your heroic posture today."


    In the dressing room of the villa, Nikolai, wearing a simple vertical chain armor coat, looked at Prince mihau wearing a full set of winged cavalry armor in the mirror and was moved to tears. He seemed to see his former master, Prince yarimi.


    But Prince mihau was not listening to Nikolay''s feelings. At this time, he was adjusting the huge nose guard of the winged cavalry helmet on his head.


    The official name of the winged cavalry helmet is cheskag helmet. Its hat type originated from the hishak helmet of the Ottoman Empire at that time, but unlike the hishak helmet, the cheskag helmet, like the distinctive rivet plate armor of the wing cavalry, is more made of rivets. Moreover, cheskag helmets also have a wide front brim rarely seen in Ottoman helmets, and the same wide nose protection as that on Indian helmets.


    Another impressive feature of this helmet is its two and rear neck guard. In particular, the rivet connected rear neck guard like a lobster makes this helmet get the nickname of "lobster helmet" in Europe.


    At this time, what made Prince mihau uncomfortable was the huge nose guard.


    This set of winged cavalry armor was worn by Prince yarimi and was customized according to the prince''s figure. Prince yarimi was thin, and his cheeks and nose were thin. The prince mihau was fat and his nose was very big, so he fell on the nose guard, which made the prince very uncomfortable.


    Prince mihau banged the metal pendant on his body, but he didn''t do it well for a long time, so he had to turn over the nose protector.


    "Nikolay, have you ever been to war?" Prince mihau leaned over and could see his back in the mirror, who was putting on armor for the prince.


    "Of course, I''ll follow the prince when I hit hemelinitsky. Hey, the prince, he always took the lead. I was an ordinary attendant at that time and followed him all the way behind." Nikolay said piously.


    Nikolai first put on a chain armour sleeve coat for Prince mihau. This chain armour removed the protection of the trunk and retained only the lock rings of his arms. Because the trunk is already protected by winged cavalry armor, there is no need to add a lock ring, which can not only reduce the total weight of armor, but also save cost.


    Then he took a short skirt in chain armour and put it around the prince. Chain armour skirt can be used to protect vulnerable thighs and provide some protection.


    Then Prince mihau raised his hands, and Nikolai installed the breastplate of the winged cavalry armor for the prince. The breastplate is a polished steel plate with a thickness of 3 ~ 5mm and ridges in the middle. Under it, six flexible steel plate strips are superimposed to protect the abdomen. The matching of the back armor and the front chest is basically the same. The throat armor assists in the defense of the upper chest and neck. The shoulder armor is a forged arc-shaped steel plate with a cross made of brass. The steel plate is connected with several pieces of batten armor downward. The inner side of the arm is also protected by batten armor. The whole upper arm armor is connected by rivets and belts. The lower arm armor consists of a whole plate armor to defend the outer side of the back of the hand, and the inner side is a wrist guard.


    After wearing it, Prince mihau looked at the dress with joy. Needless to say, the silver glittering nail surface reflects the dazzling metal texture under the sunlight. The edge of the armor is covered with gold and copper, and the gold rose and yellow cross are decorated in an eye-catching position on the upper chest.


    After wearing the number, Prince mihau can finally continue to ask questions. He asked, "why, my father went to the battlefield himself and rushed to the front?"


    "The prince likes to take the lead. And he always says that it will be the courage of soldiers."


    "What about me? Can''t I command behind?" asked Prince mihau. He waved his hand in front of the mirror twice, which was the action of ordering his subordinates to charge. Prince mihau always thought it was handsome.


    Nikolay looked up with a happy smile.


    "Your Highness, you are a commander of the winged cavalry. Of course, you will take your subordinates to attack and fall into battle. You should stand on the far left of the team, which is the position of the commander of the winged cavalry, and then give orders constantly to keep your companions at a pace with you."


    Prince mihau was scared to death when he remembered that he would rush in front of the artillery fire and sharp gun tip. But he looked at himself in the mirror again. In the full-length mirror, mihau vishnewitsky wears armor, and his whole body is covered with solid armor. Prince mihau touched his chest again. The chest armor was shiny and hard.


    "I see. My father is so brave. He must believe that armor can protect himself." Prince mihau comforted himself.


    "No, your highness. I''ll tell you a fact. Our armor and sword are effective. But in the face of fire guns, unless you stay far away, even the" iron cry "of Cossack poor people can hurt you. I''ve seen a handsome winged cavalry cut in half by a shell. But the Prince is never afraid. He doesn''t even wear armor He rode back and forth in front of the two armies, because the prince has God''s blessing. "


    At the end, Nikolay''s face showed a believer like expression.


    Prince mihau suddenly felt a cold current rising from his caudal vertebra to his brain. And Nikolay''s smile did not give Prince mihau confidence at all. He felt his whole stomach twitching, and the food he ate in the morning seemed to come out of his throat. The prince covered his mouth and ran to the bathroom, ignoring that one of his boots had not been strapped.
