Chapter 365

    On May 23, King kazimiz''s army in Lvov set out for Warsaw according to the original plan.


    The nominal commander of this army is his Majesty the king, but the actual commander is marshal lubomatsky. Around the marshal, there are many generals of the Republic, such as general Stefan charnietsky, Colonel Jan skzedusky, Colonel Alexander kasmir, Colonel Jan zenovi ?, general kirztov gerimovsky, Lord kasmir teshwicz and so on. The total number of this army also exceeded 30000.


    On the way to March, marshal lubaomatsky also fully showed his true love of vanity and extravagance. In this army, the marshal and his attendants used a total of 60 luxury carriages drawn by 6 horses, while other private service personnel serving him occupied another 10 carriages drawn by 6 horses. The Marshal''s kitchen staff and sleeping support personnel used 35 carriages drawn by 4 horses. This was not his whole show. At the end of the team, the marshal had 50 grooms driving 100 precious pure stallions.


    It can be said that all this alone occupied 660 military horses. These horses are enough to arm an elite cavalry regiment.


    Correspondingly, the marshal provided king kazimiz with only 50 horses and 110 attendants.


    But lubaomatsky didn''t care at all. What he wanted was such an amazing effect.


    While in Lublin, general Jan zamois came to visit king kazimiz. Before that, the general had made great efforts to stick to Lublin. King kazimizh also highly praised the general''s achievements. But at the Marshal''s place, lubaumatsky was angry because Jan zamois went to see the king first. He asked the general to stand outside the camp tent for an hour before he met him.


    During their conversation, lubaomatsky was also extremely arrogant and became a marshal. This led Jan zamois to send only 5000 troops to Warsaw with king kazimiz after returning to Lublin, but he refused to go directly.


    Of course, King kazimiz and Stanislaw pototsky were dissatisfied with this matter, but pototsky persuaded the king to put up with it in order to recover the overall situation of Warsaw. At the same time, pototsky also wrote a letter to Jan zamois, comforting him in the name of the king.


    The army from Lvov continued to set off. By this time, together with the aristocratic armed forces joined all the way, the army had expanded to 40000. Every day, many rebels join in. If the commander of the rebel army was an aristocrat, marshal lubaomatsky accepted it. If it was a civilian or a farmer, the marshal directly expelled it. Stefan charnietsky brought all these rebel armies that were not valued by the marshal under his command, and did not care about the Marshal''s ridicule.


    Such a massive military action has certainly attracted the attention and vigilance of the Swedes. The commander-in-chief of the Swedish army left in Warsaw, Arvid wiedenberg, urgently ordered the Swedish Garrison and imperial Association troops everywhere to withdraw to Warsaw, and sent them to Prussia three times a day to repair books, requesting King Carl x to lead the army back immediately.


    In the direction of Brest fortress, Baron Gustav franger''s army received the withdrawal order at the latest because it was farthest from Warsaw. Soon after the Baron had gathered his army and left Brest fortress, the forward of the army of the Republic of Poland had reached less than five miles from him. The forward commander is colonel Jan skzedusky, who was abducted by Bao Hong with his wife and children.


    The colonel, who suffered from the loss of his wife and son, was full of hatred for Cossacks and Bao Hong. Now that Bao Hongyuan was in Warsaw, he vented his anger on Baron Gustav franger.


    The first contact with Baron Gustav franger was the Polish daredevil cavalry acting as a scout. These Polish daredevil cavalry are poorly equipped, but they are not afraid of death. With a swift horse and a light knife, they went straight to Baron Gustav franger''s Chinese army, trying to cut the marching Swedish army in two.


    A squadron of Swedish infantry came up. They used long guns to form a gun array and mingled with the Polish daredevil cavalry. The two sides fought on the dry plain. If one party is not wearing a gray military uniform and the other is wearing a blue military uniform, it is really impossible to distinguish who is whose enemy and who is whose comrade in arms.


    The Polish daredevil cavalry were equipped with sabers and pistols. They bypassed the front of the long gun array and tried to kill the Swedes'' strength and will with pistols. But the Swedish Musketeers, under the protection of the long gunners, responded to the Polish daredevil cavalry with stronger firepower. It was the first to be unable to bear casualties and retreated out of the range of the musket.


    Although the first battle was won, Baron Gustav franger did not dare to stay long or expand the outcome. Because he knew that more enemies were coming to him.


    Sure enough, less than half an hour after the Baron''s troops advanced, the main force led by skzedusky also rushed over.


    Skzedusky was born as a commander of the winged cavalry. Among the cavalry he brought were the old winged cavalry who had fought with the Cossacks and Tatars under the command of Prince yarimi.


    Skzedusky led the cavalry to change from March formation to attack formation at high speed. The wing cavalry spread out word by word centered on the upper school, and the armored Cossack cavalry rushed towards Baron Gustav franger under the cover of both wings.


    This time, although the Baron''s infantry also set up a defensive formation in time, they did not resist the lance charge of the winged cavalry. After a crash of lances and breastplates, the formation of the Swedish army was torn apart and the two armies fell into a scuffle.


    In the scuffle, the winged cavalry and armored Cossacks began to show great power. As the Swedish soldiers gathered together, the Polish cavalry''s saber cut left and right, and the spear was stabbed. Almost none of them failed.


    Of course, Swedish infantry are also extremely brave. Although they were disrupted, they gathered into a small square in twos and threes. In the small square array, two soldiers waved short and broad swords, and one soldier used a long halberd to match the length. Whenever a long halberd hooked a cavalry off his horse, the soldier with a short and broad sword jumped up and killed him. Some bold guys even launched a counter charge and tried to surround and kill skzedusky.


    In the end, the efforts of the Swedish army were in vain. Skzedusky''s guards drove the Swede''s counter charge back. The Polish artillery who arrived in a hurry later blasted small squares with three pound guns.


    Knowing that the death battle was meaningless, Baron Gustav franger gave the order to retreat. But not all the soldiers heard this order.


    Finally, Baron Gustav franger fled in a hurry with more than 800 wounded soldiers. More than 200 Swedish soldiers were killed and 300 were captured, including Carlson.


    And Brest fortress also opened the door for the Republic Army. Further west is Warsaw.
