The surrendering Swedish soldiers came down from the third floor one by one with hands raised. In order to show their sincerity, they had already dropped their weapons.
Chechen watched the Swedish soldiers walk past him one by one, but he didn''t see the Swedish commander mentioned by Viscount Hesse - Baron Gustav franger.
Cherchen stopped a Swedish lieutenant.
"Where''s your commander?" Chechen asked.
"Which commander?"
"Baron Gustav franger."
The lieutenant shook his head. He said to Chechen, "the Baron didn''t withdraw to the third floor. He may have died bravely when fighting with you."
Chechen didn''t believe the Lieutenant''s answer. He even thought that the prisoners were deceiving themselves in order to protect the Baron disguised as an ordinary soldier.
But he caught several soldiers in a row and asked them one by one. The answer remains that Baron Gustav franger did not retreat to the third floor.
After that, Cherchen ordered to examine the bodies of Swedish soldiers killed in the war one by one. It can be identified that there was no Baron among them.
Baron Gustav franger seems to have disappeared.
This doesn''t stop Chechen from wondering. Will the Baron fail to fly?
At this time, yelishei shouted to Cherchen in the hall on the first floor of the church:
"Captain, come down. There is a situation here."
So, Chechen climbed the stairs and went downstairs. Yelishei grabbed a Swedish soldier and mentioned it to Cherchen.
"Captain, this guy said he knew where Baron Gustav franger had fled."
The Swedish soldier looked trembling with his head down.
"Don''t be afraid, as long as you speak frankly, I will not hurt you, but also reward you heavily." Chechen said.
Listening to Che Chen''s words, the soldier finally raised his head.
"I saw the Baron jump down from the second floor and limp to the basement."
Jump down?
Yelishei looked up and down, and he admired Baron Gustav franger''s courage.
"You have a basement here? Where is it?"
Compared with yelisi''s admiration for the Baron''s courage, Cherchen obviously cares more about the location of the basement.
The soldier pointed to the statue with his left hand.
"Behind the statue."
Chechen and yelishei went behind the statue. Che Chen squatted down and knocked on the ground with his knuckles. There was a dull sound from the slate - it was empty below.
So they lifted the slate with great force, and a simple corridor appeared in front of them.
Chechen dare not be careless. He took a torch and threw it down to test whether there was anyone inside.
After the torch fell, there was no movement in it.
After a while, yelishei put a steel shield on his chest and went down carefully. Chechen followed with a revolver in his hand.
They reached the bottom of the basement, and yelishei picked up the torch that fell on the ground.
Under the light of the torch, Chechen finally saw the whole picture of the basement.
The area of the basement is small, only about 25 square meters, with some sundries piled inside. The basement was obviously newly excavated, and the walls on all sides were impetuous and not polished. In the right corner of the basement, there is a one meter square hole.
Yelishei put the torch into the hole. The passage inside was not deep enough to know where it led.
"Commander, I think this passage should be connected to the city to transport supplies for the church," yelishei judged.
"So Gustav franger has escaped into the city through this passage?" Chechen vented.
"It should be."
Che Chen climbed out of the basement dejectedly. He called several soldiers and asked them to blow up the passage in the basement with explosives. The Swedes must have made arrangements at the other end of the tunnel. The tunnel is very narrow. It is impossible to sneak into the city by relying on this tunnel; If you keep the mercenary regiment, you have to guard against the enemy''s counterattack from the city, so it''s easy to blow it up.
Three soldiers brought a barrel of gunpowder to blow up the tunnel. Cherchen took out a bag of Taylor and threw it to the Swedish soldier who actually provided information.
"The money is yours. I''ll let you go back to the city later."
But the Swedish soldier said he didn''t want to go back to the city. He just wanted Cherchen to let him leave.
"I''m German. Now you poles have surrounded Warsaw. When I enter the city, I still want to fight with you and may die. Moreover, I have revealed the secret of the tunnel. My officer will not let me go. I don''t want to die. I want to go back to Hamburg," said the German Swedish soldier.
So Chechen agreed to the request of the German Swedish soldier and gave him a pass.
With a loud noise, the basement collapsed. For those captured Swedish soldiers, Cherchen fulfilled his promise and they were sent back to Warsaw.
Now, the Holy Spirit church belongs to poles.
After the Polish flag fluttered at the top of the church, commander sapega, surrounded by a group of generals, entered the Holy Spirit church. The commander knelt down affectionately in front of the image of Jesus. He raised his hands and touched the feet of the image of Jesus, praying piously. The generals around him also knelt down.
After praying, commander sapega stood up.
He said to Chechen, "son, the Republic will not forget your achievements. I will personally report to your Majesty the achievements of you and your companions, and you will receive a generous reward."
"It''s a pity that Baron Gustav franger escaped." Chechen sighed.
This sentence, which was meant to sigh that he failed to capture a general and complete yanush''s conditions, was understood by sapega. For Cherchen''s due diligence and perfection of things, he cherished the youth in front of him and felt guilty for his partiality towards Prince mihau.
"Baron Gustav franger did not escape. He just ran from one cage to another. We will capture him with Wittenberg," said commander sapega.
After that, the mercenary regiment was exhausted after fighting all night. Commander sapega ordered them to return to the rear to have a rest. The defense of the Holy Spirit church was handed over to Jan sobesky.
Looking at sapega''s kindness to Chechen, Prince mihau was jealous. He also thought that Chechen just picked up a bargain. And the greatest hero who won the Holy Spirit church should be himself.
"Your Highness, the situation is not good. The commander seems to have a green eye for that Cherchen."
At this time, Jerzy halletsky jumped out again and fanned the flames.
Prince mihau snorted.
"It''s just a lucky bargain. How can the great commander''s concern for me be shaken by such a small matter."
Of course, Jerzy halletsky nodded yes. But he reminded Prince mihau: "but your highness, although he picked up your cheap, the boy took the Holy Spirit church after all. With this great merit, I''m afraid his majesty will reward him with a lot of land. At that time..."
Prince mihau understood that Jeri haretsky was implying that Cherchen might complete those two conditions faster than himself.
The prince''s face sank.
"I know if you don''t say it."
Prince mihau spoke angrily and blamed jerh haretsky.
Jerzy halletsky was also stunned. He didn''t expect mihau to be so bad to serve. The Colonel almost walked away, but he endured it because mihau was still valuable to him.
"Your Highness, calm down. I mean, if you want to complete the two conditions of old yanushi as soon as possible, now I have a good way."
