Chapter 378

    In the front position of the Holy Spirit church, commander sapega, Jan sobeski and Anjie are always paying attention to the progress of the war.


    When the soldiers of the mercenary regiment climbed the ladder into the second floor of the church, commander sapega shouted: "Hey, what a group of elite soldiers!"


    Jan sobesky echoed: "no, these are mercenaries hired by Cherchen from Hessen at his own expense. They are all veterans who have participated in the thirty year war."


    Jan sobesky put the emphasis on "at his own expense".


    Sapega nodded admiringly. He also said to Jan sobesky, "I heard, general, why did you recover Warsaw and contribute a lot of money? You donated money to forge the mortar that hit the top floor of the church."


    At this time, there is no reason why Jan sobesky is not loyal. He shouted, "I have no complaints even if I have to lose my money for the sake of the Republic."


    Commander sapega once made concessions to destroy his family for the sake of the Republic, and Jan sobeski''s words were very to his taste. The commander was secretly interested in Jan sobesky.


    At this time, Jeri halletsky, standing behind the commander, saw that the commander appreciated Cherchen and said in a sour tone: "hum, without the previous attacks of Prince miha''u and Lord raziweu to investigate him, how could the boy break into the church so smoothly, but he just picked up the advantages of his predecessors."


    This attracted the approval of a group of supporters of Prince mihau and Lord raziwiu.


    Anjie refused to accept the way: "it depends on who it is. Some people who don''t work well will not turn back even if they hit the wall with their head ten times."


    This is no doubt ironic. Colonel halletsky launched two futile attacks after the first attack, resulting in heavy losses.


    Halletsky''s face was blue.


    "Well, stop arguing." commander sapega stopped the further escalation of their quarrel. He turned his head and continued to pay attention to the war in the church.


    At this time, Hessen mercenaries, as the pioneer of the mercenary regiment, had basically cleared the enemy on the second floor, and the remaining Swedish soldiers fled to the third floor. They stood at the end of the spiral ladder and greeted every enemy who dared to climb the ladder with bullets. The mercenary regiment rushed several times and was beaten down.


    Surrounded by Fatima and bachit, Chechen went to the stairway from the second floor to the third floor. On one side of the stairway, the mercenary regiment also captured more than 20 Swedish soldiers. Under the threat of Hessian mercenaries, swords and guns, they all squatted down on the ground. It was Viscount Hesse who guarded them.


    "Your Excellency, the church is yours." seeing the head coming, viscount Hessen held a long halberd stained with blood and asked for credit to Chechen.


    "Viscount, it''s too early to say that." Chechen retorted with a smile. But there was not much Refutation in his words, because Cherchen was happy and occupied the church so smoothly, which he didn''t expect in advance.


    "It''s only a matter of time," said Viscount Hesse. "There''s another good news. I interrogated the captured Swedish soldiers. They said that Baron Gustav franger, a prominent nobleman in the kingdom of Sweden, was responsible for defending the church."


    Viscount Hessen meant that Chechen was going to be rich now. Because of such a prominent figure, the kingdom of Sweden will certainly spend a lot of money to redeem him. Even if King Carl x didn''t pay, Gustav franger''s family in Sweden would redeem the Viscount even if they lost all their money.


    "Viscount, is what you said true?" Chechen said excitedly.


    The reason for Chechen''s excitement is different from that of viscount Hesse. He thought of another thing, that is, his agreement with yanushi to capture a Swedish general. Baron Gustav franger''s status is obviously enough to be a general. Chechen didn''t expect to complete one of the conditions so soon.


    "There can be no mistake. I asked three or four prisoners in a row, and they all said so."


    "Did the Baron not escape or be killed?"


    "Absolutely not. First, we didn''t find the Viscount''s body in the body. Second, there are no stairs between the first and second floors, even if Baron Gustav franger wants to escape."


    Viscount Hesse''s analysis gave lechechen confidence. He went to the stairs and tilted his head to look up.


    "Be careful!" cried Viscount Hesse.


    It seemed to be in response to the Viscount''s cry. At the moment when Chechen stretched out his head, several gunshots were remembered on the corridor. The bullets hit the stone wall near Chechen, splashing clusters of lime and small stones.


    Chechen staggered back two or three steps, and bachit held him in the back.


    "Captain, you must be careful," said bachit.


    "This spiral corridor can only accommodate one person up and down. Unless they run out of food and bullets, it is difficult to attack by manpower alone," said Viscount Hesse.


    "Can you persuade them to surrender?" Chechen asked.


    "You can try," Viscount Hesse did not answer positively.


    Chechen carefully came to the stairs again.


    "Surrender, you have no hope!"


    "Surrender? We can hold here until the end of the world."


    There was a banter reply upstairs, accompanied by a burst of gunfire.


    "How arrogant!" Fatima said angrily.


    At this time, yelishei also came over.


    "Do you have any other way?" Chechen asked four people.


    Yelishei first said, "if you don''t mind the life and death of Baron Gustav franger, I suggest blasting the third floor with explosives and sending them to heaven."


    "No!"


    As soon as yelisi''s voice fell, viscount Hesse uttered a cry from his soul for money.


    Chechen didn''t agree with the proposal, because he still wanted to catch Baron Gustav franger alive. But yelishei''s approach inspired him.


    You don''t have to blow it up, but you can scare the enemies upstairs with explosives.


    The soldiers of the mercenary regiment began to carry barrels of gunpowder.


    "You, put the gunpowder there."


    "You, put this bucket over there. Yes, prop it up with a wooden pole and hold it against the roof."


    The sound of command reached the third floor.


    The enemy entrenched on the third floor finally responded.


    "Hey, downstairs. What are you doing?" someone shouted.


    "Send you to God."


    There was silence upstairs.


    "You''re lying to us. You won''t get anything if you blow up the church."


    "We have the second floor and the first floor. What are we going to do on the third floor? Anyway, we can''t attack. Do you want you to cooperate with the Swedes on the city wall to attack us?"


    Hearing this downstairs, the remaining Swedish soldiers on the third floor began to be afraid.


    "Slow down, friends. Slow down. We can talk."


    "About what?"


    "We are willing to surrender the church, but you must let us and your captives into the city. Remember, we are not surrendering."


    I haven''t spoken back downstairs for a while. While the Swedish soldiers upstairs were worried, a voice came at last.


    "Yes, you come down. We can let you into town."
