After two futile attacks, count owar von Goya finally led the defeated soldiers to retreat.
That night, the main force of the Swedish army arrived one after another. Count owar von Goya deliberately came to see Carl X in a military uniform full of smoke. This is the count expressing his dissatisfaction with King Carl X''s stupid attack order.
But when King Carl x saw count owar von Goya, he treated him like a hero.
Carl x hugged the count and kissed him warmly on his face, ignoring the smoke on the count''s face.
"Welcome back, our hero," Carl x even said.
The king''s intimacy made Orval von Goya feel a little overwhelmed.
"Your Majesty, I am a defeated general. I have lost more than 200 of your Majesty''s soldiers," said count owar von Goya sadly.
"No, you did a good job," said Carl X.
Then Carl x took the count''s hand and went into the camp. It was very simple, with only some military things.
A huge map hung directly opposite the door of the camp.
At this time, boguslav raziweu and General Robert Douglas were standing in front of the map. They were sent by braue vicinsburg to reinforce the king.
In Riga, boguslav helped braue vichinsburg to repel the siege of Riga by the Czar Russia, and then returned to the MIA telsk castle. There, he married Princess Anna and inherited all the assets of his brother yanush raziwiu (although there was little left). Boguslav''s coming here also means revenge for yanush.
As soon as he arrived at the camp, Carl x asked bluntly, "count, tell me. If we had a decisive battle with the poles on the battlefield you fought today, could we win?"
"Of course we can win," said count owar von Goya confidently. Then the count said, "but we may have to pay a great price."
The count told the king and the two generals that the poles had set up three small civil structure forts on the position, and a strong infantry position had been built in front of the forts. In the forest on one side of the position, the poles had hidden at least 10 guns as side fire. Even by the standards of Western Europe, this is also a position with reasonable firepower allocation and strong defense.
After hearing the words of count owar von Goya, Carl X''s face became more and more happy.
"You see, the sacrifice of you and the 200 soldiers is not worthless. At least they played the role of power investigation, and we also found the Polish artillery position hidden in the forest." Carl x first praised, and then asked, "then, the Polish people will not give up a position with such good terrain?"
Count owar von Goya thought for a moment: "as long as kazimiz is not crazy, I can''t think of a reason why he gave up here to fight with us."
Carl X was satisfied.
Just then Frederick William the elector came in. The elector also heard about the defeat of count owar von Goya. After learning that the poles had occupied a favorable terrain, the elector was very depressed. He came to persuade Carl x to withdraw immediately and look for an opportunity to fight again.
"Your Majesty, it is extremely unfavorable for us to fight with the poles here. Even if we defeat the enemy, we will suffer heavy losses. Moreover, our enemy is not only the poles, but also the Czar in the East is eyeing us." the elector advised.
But Carl X was unmoved. He knew very well that if he chose a battlefield that was beneficial to his own side again, kazimizh and his ministers were not fools and would not easily get into it. Only when Polish monarchs and ministers are convinced that they are in an advantageous environment will they fight with themselves.
The so-called advantages and disadvantages are relative. The battlefield terrain is not conducive to the deployment of their own troops, so it will greatly limit the mobility of Polish cavalry, especially the impact of Polish wing cavalry. From this point of view, there may not be only disadvantages for yourself here.
Moreover, Carl X has found the key point to reverse the battlefield situation.
"My dear elector, the situation is not as bad as you think. The count is just a small setback today. Tomorrow we will give the poles a fatal blow. Right here."
Carl x said, pointing to a position on the map.
The elector Hou looked and saw that the place Carl x pointed to was an area to the east of the forest. The terrain there is wider and more suitable for the deployment of troops, but the army must bypass the forest to reach this position, and it is under the eyes of the poles. This is undoubtedly extremely bold. If the movement of the army is found and the poles chase after it, the coalition is likely to be destroyed.
"Your Majesty, this is too dangerous!" screamed the elector.
"The greater the danger, the greater the outcome," said Carl X.
Of course, Carl X was not unaware of the danger of the Polish Army chasing after him. Therefore, in order to ensure the concealment of the plan and make the poles mistakenly think that they will still attack from the front, his plan is to leave a force to feint and drag the poles, and lead a large force to the flank.
The remaining troops are extremely dangerous. Because they will face the number of Poles who have an absolute advantage tomorrow.
Carl x expressed the hope that Frederick William elector would lead 1000 German infantry and 3000 black cavalry to complete this task.
The elector understood that Carl X was ordering himself rather than asking. He knew that even if he opposed it, Carl x would still force himself to accept the task.
For this reason, Frederick William can only strive for more for himself in terms of military strength. The elector considered his words and said, "of course, your majesty trusts me by giving me such an important task, but I''m afraid I will be unable to fight the poles alone. If your majesty agrees, I hope your majesty can let Prince boguslav and his army stay and help me."
For this requirement of the elector, Carl x said after looking at Prince bogusslav next to him: "Of course, I also hope to leave more troops for you, but I can''t keep the prince and his troops here. Because the key to destroying the main force of the Polish army is not here. Therefore, the prince should be with me. His battlefield should be on the flank rather than here. That''s where he won honor. As for your opinion that the troops are insufficient, I can only increase fire for you I''ll leave 17 guns for you. "
Although the assistance was not as good as expected, the optional emperor understood that this was the limit that Carl x could give himself. He accepted it and wished Carl x success.
