Chapter 385

    On July 1, the Polish army held a grand battlefield mass in Pingchuan, a suburb outside Warsaw. 30000 Republic officers and soldiers participated in the whole process of the mass. The king solemnly vowed that once he made a great victory, he would build a church for the most holy goddess of national protection. All dignitaries, commanders, knights and ordinary soldiers all took the king as an example and made donations according to their own financial resources.


    This day was the day of the great counterattack and the last battle to recapture Warsaw city. After the mass, all generals returned to their command posts, and the position of sapega was in the Holy Spirit church. The fortress outside the city of the Swedish army captured by Cherchen has now become the headquarters of the former enemy under the command of sapega.


    At that time, the church was close to the wall, and its top was even higher than the wall of Warsaw. The failure of the Holy Spirit church completely exposed the Swedish army to the gunfire of the Polish army.


    Therefore, Sweden resolutely abandoned the city wall, but retreated to the houses in the city, strengthened the houses of strategic importance, and allocated reasonable troops and firepower.


    In the north of the area under the charge of the general army of charnietsky, the focus of capture is the Gdansk building, which is built against the wall, and its back wall is part of the Warsaw city wall. Therefore, as long as we capture this building, soldiers and horses can enter the city. Marshal lubaumatsky''s main force still attacked from the visva River in the East and south. Although the Republic Army had suffered losses here, marshal had a new method - that is, destroy the whole section of Warsaw outer city wall with gunpowder, and then attack with surface instead of points to dilute the strength and firepower of the Swedish army.


    As for the Holy Spirit church, commander sapega put forth four troops, including mihau, Anjie, Jan sobesky and Chechen. All the troops are ready for battle, and the knives and guns have long been out of their scabbard. Everyone stretched out one foot and made a starting position, ready to rush to the gaps opened by giant artillery, especially the longest range and most powerful heavy cannon. One morning, the artillery fire did not stop for a moment. Only at 12 noon, the artillery fire stopped for an hour. That was because he was waiting for Wittenberg''s final reply - King kazimiz sent him an ultimatum asking him to surrender unconditionally and give a reply within an hour. Of course, even King kazimizh did not give any hope that Wittenberg would surrender unconditionally. The sending of ultimatum was just a practice of war. Sure enough, near 13 noon, the officer who sent the letter returned with the news that Wittenberg refused to surrender. Wittenberg said he would live or die with Warsaw.


    At 13:00 noon, ominous bugles sounded in all directions of the city, and the strong attack began.


    The troops of the Republic of Poland rushed to the city wall like a strong wind and waves. The enemy fired guns from inside the city wall. They sprayed white pillars of smoke and clusters of flames. Artillery, fire rope fire gun, spring wheel gun, Mikael fire gun, organ gun and all kinds of firearms sounded together. The sound was like thunder, shaking the ground. Bullets and shells fell into the crowded crowd, causing ripples like stones falling into a pool. From time to time, unfortunate soldiers fell, but the brave soldiers ran forward and rushed to the wall. Everyone completely forgot about the artillery fire, even the Swedish soldiers guarding the city. Some of them bravely tied a rope around their waist, and then asked their companions to hang them out of the city wall, throwing grenades hanging on their chest, ignoring bullets and shells from under the city wall.


    Gunpowder smoke billowed like dark clouds, blocking out the sky and the sun.


    Wearing a black armor and a pointed helmet (which Natalie insisted on him to wear), Chechen led the mercenary regiment behind Anjie''s team. They were the first to conquer the city wall. But the occupation of the city wall by other Republican forces meant the end of the battle, and for them, it was the beginning of a fierce battle.


    The flagman holding the flag of Anjie''s army was concentrated by a bullet from the city and fell off the city tower the moment he climbed the wall. Deadly bullets were fired from every palace and house, and no one was safe. The tenacious Swedish spearmen even launched a counter charge against the Polish army. They set up a horse and gun forest in the narrow streets to slow down the advance speed of the Polish army and buy more time for the shooting of musketeers.


    As a result, Anjie''s team suffered heavy losses in a short time. Fortunately, on this day, the Polotsk people bravely won the third army, risked their lives and death, and any force could stop them. They rushed into palaces and houses, smashed open every door with hatchets and pickaxes, and fought with the Swedish soldiers inside. They fought the enemy at the window, in the aisle and on the steps until they drove them out. Every time a soldier conquers a house, without waiting for the blood on his hands and face to dry up, he has rushed to another house, engaged in a white-edged war, and then continued to rush forward.


    The so-called repeated decline and exhaustion. The casualties of the troops attacking Anjie were several times that of the Swedes. The strength of the Polotsk was completely exhausted when they pushed one third of the city.


    Anjie slumped on the corner, his mail jacket soaked in blood. At the corner 20 meters in front of him is the hardest fortress of the Swedes in Xicheng District, which is not only garrisoned with 200 Swedish soldiers, but also equipped with four guns. Anjie''s men rushed twice, mihau, Jan sobeski and Chechen''s men rushed once, but they were all blocked back. The fortress was filled with the bodies of Polish soldiers.


    At this time, Chechen came over, and his mercenary regiment took over Anjie''s troops again.


    He said to Anjie, "Anzu, I sent Fatima to investigate. The Swedes of this fortress are very scientific, and there are almost no dead corners for shooting. Unless we transfer heavy artillery, we can''t take it down by manpower alone."


    "Damn it," Anjie scolded.


    The cunning Swedes pried all the stone slabs in the street, which made the wheels of the heavy artillery completely sink. The speed of propulsion was extremely slow only by human push.


    At this time, mihau also came over, and his troops had swept away the nearby Swedish stronghold.


    "Anzu and Cherchen, I saw the flag of the Republic erected on the north wall. It seems that the general army of charnietsky has captured the Gdansk building."


    The news shocked Cherchen''s body. Because in this way, perhaps the general of charnietsky will become the first polish general to arrive and capture the kazimi RI palace. Now, only the kazimi palace has Swedish generals
