Chapter 433

    The main force of the coalition led by Karl x took the cavalry as the vanguard, and the infantry marched in the middle. The last March of the artillery marched forward, separated by a forest on both sides.


    Carl X and his generals walked in the middle of the line. At 12 o''clock, the day was approaching noon, and the hot sun was baking the earth. Carl x kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with his left hand. Soon, his white gloves were wet.


    A Swedish dragoon came to Carl x on a fast horse and brought the latest situation ahead - his troops were blocked by the river again.


    It turned out that there were many rivers where the army led by Carl x passed. Although these rivers were not such a big river as the visva River, they divided the coalition forces into countless fast, which seriously damaged the integrity of the formation.


    If at this time, the poles found the coalition and killed them out of the forest, the troops divided by the river would be unable to look after each other and fall into a situation of fighting their own.


    "Order the engineers in front to build a simple river crossing bridge and pass quickly," Carl x ordered.


    After receiving the king''s order, the Dragon cavalry rushed back to the front.


    "God, bless us."


    Carl x raised his head and looked up at the sky. At this time, all he could do was to give the necessary orders and pray for God''s blessing.


    Fortunately, the poles did not notice that there was an army encircling them a few kilometers away, and Carl X''s army walked in danger.


    At 3 p.m., the forward of the coalition forces had reached the edge of the forest and was about to reach their destination.


    "Your Majesty, you are about to win another great victory," Prince boguslav on the horse said to Carl X in a prophetic tone.


    "My dear brother, thank you for your kind words. But I want to correct one thing. This great victory does not belong to me alone, but to us."


    Carl x pointed his finger at himself and at Prince boguslav.


    Carl X has become much more generous since he persuaded Frederick William elector to rejoin his camp in cornisburg. He no longer enjoyed the fruits of victory as before, but learned to share; More and more generals were praised and rewarded by him. Even a dedicated night guard had been rewarded by Carl X. from officers to soldiers, they loved their king more.


    And to Prince boguslav, the guy who once blasphemed Christina, Carl x also restored his great friendliness. He said nothing about it and affectionately called boguslav "brother".


    Hearing Carl x say "this is our victory", Prince boguslav''s self-esteem was greatly satisfied. He said loudly to Carl x, "Your Majesty, please allow my army to bear the first wave of attack."


    Carl x neither agreed nor disagreed with the prince''s request. He just smiled and said faintly, "I''ll think about it."


    Just then, the troops suddenly stopped moving. The dragoon appeared in front of Carl x again. This time, he also brought bad news: the poles built a simple fortress on the side.


    "Damn it." Carl x scolded fiercely in his heart.


    Sure enough, his cousin kazimiri is not a fool. He or his officers also considered that the coalition might encircle from the flank.


    At this time, Carl X had two choices: one was to give up the plan of encirclement and return to join the electors; The other is to choose a strong attack.


    Carl X had some trade-offs between the two schemes. So he took Prince boguslav to investigate in person.


    Sure enough, a fortress blocked the middle of the two hills, completely blocking the Allied offensive route.


    "Your Majesty, I think God has abandoned us," Prince boguslav said pessimistically.


    Compared with Prince boguslav, Carl x did not despair. He said to the prince, "no, my brother. God closed the door, but left us a window. Do you see? There is no Polish soldier on the hills on both sides. Our artillery can shoot the fort from top to bottom as long as they set up their guns on the mountain."


    "But your majesty, our artillery is at the back. Now we are under the eyes of the poles. What if the poles raid us in the process of changing the formation!" boguslav asked a fatal question.


    Carl x closed his eyes and began to think.


    What boguslav mentioned is definitely a fatal problem. Once this order is issued, it cannot be taken back, and the coalition forces begin to shift positions and regroup according to their own plans. The formation must be more chaotic. If the Polish army uses cavalry to attack while its formation is chaotic at this moment, the victory will be won by the poles.


    Boguslav looked anxiously at Carl X. At this time, for every additional minute wasted, the coalition will be more dangerous to be found.


    Suddenly, Carl x said, "God will bless us."


    Boguslav suspected that he had heard wrong. He asked again, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"


    Carl x turned his horse''s head: "God will bless us."


    The order to change formation was conveyed. The whole army moved. The artillery began to push the artillery forward, the cavalry gradually covered the flanks backward, and the infantry took the place left by the cavalry with neat steps. The three arms moved along the road divided by the river. Although the coalition army composed of mercenaries from Sweden, Prussia and raziwiu family could be called the most elite army of that era, the scene began to get chaotic uncontrollably.


    Carl x took a guard at the edge of the forest and commanded the army to complete the formation transformation as soon as possible. Every minute, the poles may find their own army.


    At this time, a Swedish pistol cavalry suddenly pointed to the forest and shouted to Carl x, "Your Majesty, look!"


    Carl x looked in the direction of the fingers of the Swedish pistol cavalry. This view almost scared Carl X. Dozens of cavalry came out of the forest. They were wearing robes, chain helmets, sabers and bows.


    That''s the Polish Lithuanian cavalry tartar costume.


    "Have the poles found us?" Carl x thought painfully.


    The moving Swedish soldiers also saw these cavalry, and they stopped one after another. The officers clearly knew what these cavalry meant better than the soldiers. They looked at the crowded infantry cavalry around and looked desperate.


    Surprisingly, the cavalry did not attack him. The Lithuanian Tatar cavalry retreated into the forest and disappeared after the two troops stared at each other.
