In a position on the North Bank of the visva River, Pedro was laboriously burying sharp stakes with his bare arms. Beside him were more than a thousand soldiers of the mercenary Corps. Some of them are digging trenches, some are laying anti horses, and some are digging traps. In short, the whole mercenary regiment is busy.
If you look down from the sky, you will find that in the east of Warsaw City, from the visva River to the bilezk forest, countless people are doing geotechnical work like dense ants, digging thousands of gullies into the earth.
Pedro was burying a sharp stake with thick arms into the pit, and a red war horse flew to his side with dust - it was Jan sobesky.
Although Cherchen asked Pedro, the new head of the mercenary regiment, to lead the mercenary regiment to the sealed territory for rest when he left, because Carl X''s army came too fast, King kazimiz was ready to fight the Swedes under Warsaw City, and the mercenary regiment, a meritorious force, was forced to stay and participate in the upcoming Warsaw war. It was still general Jan sobesky who commanded them.
Jan sobeski is now enjoying a good reputation in Warsaw city. All people in Warsaw city praise him. Of course, this is not because of his war achievements. Although he also made great contributions in the Warsaw war, such as the capture of the Holy Spirit Church (most of which was contributed by Cherchen and his mercenary regiment), it is still worse than the "stars" on the battlefield such as Jan zenovich and Mikhail vorodyavsky.
The real reason lies in the food that Jan sobeski has painstakingly brought from Werner to Warsaw. After the war, Jan sobeski distributed all the food to the hungry people in the city and saved thousands of lives, which made them grateful to Jan sobeski. On many occasions, Jan sobesky declared that he had long expected famine in Warsaw city after the war, so he brought enough food from Lithuania in advance to deal with it. These words reached the ears of King kazimiz, and even the king looked at him with admiration.
Jan sobieski dismounted in front of Pedro. He took a leather bag from his horse and threw it to Pedro.
Pedro took the bag and poured it into his mouth. There was fresh beer in the bag, and it was cool in Pedro''s heart.
When pidro had had enough, Jan sobeski asked pidro, "deputy head of pidro (this is what pidro insisted on calling himself. He insisted that there was only one head of the mercenary regiment, that is, his nephew Chechen), can the work be completed before noon?"
Pedro put the bag down, wiped his mouth and said, "no problem. It will be finished by this afternoon."
Jan sobieski nodded with satisfaction when he heard Pedro''s determination. He pointed to the distant horizon and said, "I just got the news that Carl X''s army is coming soon, and the battle may start in the afternoon."
"So fast!"
Pedro was startled, and then his face returned to calm.
"Good to come. When we come, we must call the Swede. There will be no return."
Jan sobesky looked at Pedro and asked with a smile, "Your Excellency, deputy head, are you so confident?"
"Of course," said Pedro
Pedro pointed to the fortifications around him.
"General, his Majesty King kazimiz''s tactics this time are really correct. He knows that there is still a gap in quality between our army and the Swedish army. If we fight on the open plain, even if we have more people than the Swedes, we are not sure of winning. So his majesty chose the battlefield here. You see, we are in visva A defensive position was established between the north bank and the birezk forest. In this way, our two wings were covered by rivers and forests respectively. Our troops only need to defend a rather narrow front, and the Swedes can''t expand their square array. What''s more, this array was used as the residence of the king and marshal when we captured Warsaw, and there had been Ruo for a long time We have set up fortifications here, which not only saves the time of excavation, but also reduces the intensity of geotechnical work. "
Pedro said the truth clearly, and Jan sobesky nodded frequently. Jan sobesky is also clear about the benefits of setting the battlefield here, just what Pedro said. In his heart, Jan sobeski also believed that even if the troops were dominant, he must rely on favorable terrain in order to defeat the Swedes.
"Deputy commander Pedro, do a good job. When you defeat the Swede, you should get a colonel to do it." Jan sobeskizan said.
"Then my nephew should be a general," Pedro replied with a laugh.
At this time, a cloud of dust rose from a position in the distance. It was a Lithuanian Tatar cavalry of nearly 2000 people, led by Anjie kemitz. Although they are Tatars, they are all local people who have naturalized Christ and grew up in Lithuania. King kazimiz sent them out just in the hope of drawing on the expertise of Tatar cavalry in sneak attack and harassment. King kazimiz ordered Jay kemiz to lead them to attack their rear when the main force of the Swedish Prussian coalition was in the middle of a fierce battle here, create chaos behind the enemy, and capture coalition supplies at one fell swoop, disturbing the enemy''s morale.
Jan sobesky and Pedro watched the cavalry disappear into the horizon. Jan sobesky is back on the horse. He has to go to other positions under his charge.
As Jan sobesky approached the far side of the mercenary regiment''s defensive position, argildas stopped him.
"General Jan sobesky, I have something to say."
Jan sobesky stood on his horse and looked at argildas.
Unlike Pedro and the others, who worked with bare arms, argildas looked majestic wearing a complete set of winged cavalry armor and a leopard skin on his shoulders.
"General, I heard that your majesty is gathering the best cavalry in the whole army to form an assault force. Can you recommend me and my wing cavalry squadron to your majesty. I dare say that all the young men under my command are the best."
Jan sobesky looked at algeldas suspiciously. His majesty did have such a plan, but the scope of his recruitment was cavalry in the regular army. The winged cavalry squadron of argyrdas belongs to the mercenary regiment. Strictly speaking, it is the private property of the mercenary regiment. His majesty will not recruit it without Pedro''s consent. Moreover, if Pedro wanted to, it was he who said it to himself, not argildas who crossed over Pedro and asked himself directly. In thinking of the position where algerdas stopped him, Jan sobeski understood that algerdas came to him privately from Pedro.
Jan sobesky said, "algerdas, your patriotic enthusiasm is commendable, but the army has military discipline, and the subordinates must obey the orders of the superiors. You should ask deputy commander Pedro for permission before he asks me to send you to the war."
Argildas was silent.
Jan sobesky stopped talking and headed for another position with his horse.
At another position, father sparsokukotsky was sprinkling holy water on the pointed stake. A group of soldiers knelt down in front of the priest and received father sparsokukotsky''s blessing.
