Chapter 374

    After determining the new siege plan, the Republic Army temporarily stopped its attack on Shacheng to China due to the need to mobilize troops.


    Just then, alvid Wittenberg sent a messenger.


    In the king''s camp, King kazimizh received the messenger surrounded by the marshal, commander and general army.


    The messenger was a young man and could speak to King kazimiz in fluent French.


    The envoy said that commander General alvid Wittenberg admired the heroic performance of the Polish army and expressed deep sympathy for their heavy casualties in so many days. Alvid wiedenberg suggested that due to the gradually hot weather, the bodies are very perishable. For the sake of both sides, the two armies should stop fighting for three days and recover the bodies of their soldiers for burial. The commander-in-chief would be grateful if his majesty could agree to the commander-in-chief''s proposal.


    Janush also knows French. As soon as he heard it, he understood that it was alvid Wittenberg''s delaying strategy. Wittenberg just wanted to buy more time and wait for Carl x to return from Prussia. Moreover, the three-day armistice will give the Swedes plenty of time to strengthen the defense in Warsaw city. The reason why the messenger could talk to his Majesty in French was that he was afraid that some of the people present who knew French would undermine his trick.


    When yanushi thought about it, he secretly whispered to the king and told king kazimizh.


    Yanush''s judgment, King kazimiz was deeply convinced. Kazimizh had no hope of opening Warsaw without blood after Wittenberg shot and killed his emissary.


    At this time, King kazimizh was very angry that alvid Wittenberg was still playing such a clever trick and trying to use his goodwill to play a delaying strategy. He refused loudly in Polish and offered the following armistice conditions: first, the Swedes withdrew the soldiers from the city wall, retreated 50 meters and were not allowed to strengthen the fortifications; Second, release all captured Polish prisoners of war; Third, alvid wiedenberg handed over 20 Swedish nobles to the Polish side as hostages. If the Swedish side agrees to this condition, the Polish side can give them a one-day armistice


    After hearing king kazimiz''s words, the emissary looked iron blue. Although he was discouraged that the commander-in-chief''s intention was seen through, he still said calmly: "the commander-in-chief sent me out of goodwill, but you put forward such harsh conditions, such humiliating and unequal conditions. As the Party of victory, we will not accept them anyway."


    "Then war, war," cried marshal lubaumatsky. He has learned from yanush the demands and conspiracies of the Swedish envoy.


    Seeing that marshal lubaumatsky was so tough, the Swedish envoy softened. He then asked king kazimiz to give him three hours'' grace and let him take the conditions back to the city to be decided by the commander in chief.


    King kazimizh agreed to this request. Of course, no one naively believed that Wittenberg would accept such conditions.


    Therefore, while waiting for alvid wiedenberg''s reply, the Polish army, which had been scattered to all the gates, was not idle.


    To the west of Warsaw City, the commander of sapega was responsible for the attack. Outside the west wall, the Swedish army has a strong fortress, the famous Holy Spirit church.


    Before the Polish army began to siege Warsaw, the Swedish army transformed the sacred church into a fortress protruding from the city wall. The Swedes expelled the clergy in the church and stationed up to 300 troops in the church, with six guns.


    For Swedes, guarding Turin church is guarding the west city of Warsaw. To this end, Wittenberg sent Baron Gustav franger as the commander of the defense of the Holy Spirit church.


    For the Republic Army, the significance of taking the Holy Spirit church is also great. The spire of the Holy Spirit church is 12 meters higher than the wall of Warsaw. From Turin church, you can overlook the west city of Warsaw. If you put a gun on the tower of the church, the shell will hit the west city wall directly.


    It can be said that the church is a must for both sides. Whoever owns the Turin church will win.


    It was Jan sobesky who was in charge of the excavation in the west of the city.


    For the truce, he played a trick: on the surface, he agreed with the Swedish garrison in the Holy Spirit church that the two sides would stop all hostile activities within three hours of the truce, but in fact, sobeski carefully selected 500 soldiers and secretly placed them in the earth embankment and breast wall not far from Turin church through the trench, so as to launch an assault at the nearest distance. Alvid wiedenberg''s troops in the west city of Warsaw are about 1000 people. These enemies will come to support when the Polish Army attacks the Turin church. Therefore, only by ensuring sufficient troops to rush into the Turin church and offset the quality advantage of the Swedish army with the advantage of number in a very short time, can we successfully win the church before the support of the Swedish garrison.


    Jan sobeski was ambitious to do a big job, but he received the order from commander sapega to hand over his position to yezh halletsky. For this order, commander sapega did not have any explanation, but asked sobesky to comply with the order.


    Although extremely reluctant, sobesky chose to follow the command of the commander.


    When he handed over with colonel Jerzy haretsky, sobesky saw Prince mihau standing with colonel haretsky. Sobesky understood that the commander was giving Prince mihau a chance to do meritorious service.


    After figuring out the reason, sobesky''s fingernails were deeply pinched into the flesh of his hand.


    Prince mihau proudly took three companies of winged cavalry to the fortifications of the Polish army in the Holy Spirit church. In more than an hour, his subordinates will attack the Holy Spirit church as a striker for the first time. This was the first battle of Prince mihau, and for his family, it was also the battle of the vishnevitsky family. After the death of Prince yarimi, his family''s children fought for the Republic again. Therefore, its significance cannot be overemphasized.


    "Don''t worry, your highness. My team will cooperate with you. There are only more than 300 Swedes in Turin church. It''s no big deal. You just have to watch us charge in the trench." said Jerzy halletsky next to Prince mihau.


    It was not easy for Colonel Jerzy halletsky to help Prince mihau attack the Holy Spirit church. Originally, sapega preferred Mikhail vorodyavsky, because the military name of the small knight was second to none among the Lithuanian generals. But Jerzy halletsky pulled his clothes and sleeves at sapega and grabbed the task by crying bitterly.


    "It''s all up to you, Colonel."


    As soon as he heard that he didn''t even have to go out of the trench, Prince mihau sincerely thanked haletsky.


    An hour later, no messengers came out of Warsaw, indicating that Wittenberg refused the terms of the armistice.


    Prince mihau and khaletsky''s attack on the Turin church is about to begin.
