Chapter 439

    It was just daybreak, and the people at the ferry of the visva River were boiling with each other. On the three newly erected floating bridges, three streams of people are shuttling back and forth.


    At this time, sapega and yanushi stood by the pontoon and commanded the army to withdraw to the opposite bank in an orderly manner. At first, the soldiers gathered at the ferry showed good discipline, but when the Swedes found that the poles were retreating and shooting at the ferry with heavy cannons, the order of the Polish army began to get chaotic. First, some noble groups clamored to cross the river first. Then, Polish soldiers and Lithuanian soldiers fought because of quarrels. In the end, two of the three floating bridges were blocked.


    Carl x certainly did not want to be escaped by the Polish army. He made so much effort and risked so many risks in order to eliminate the main force of the Polish army in front of him.


    Therefore, in addition to letting heavy cannons fire continuously and trying to blow up the floating bridge of the ferry, all the coalition forces also pressed on.


    More than 10000 coalition soldiers lined up a huge square on the battlefield and pressed against the Jedi Polish army like a wall. The coalition forces still played a classic formation with infantry in the middle and cavalry guarding the two wings.


    Mihau vorodyavsky, Anjie kemitz, yezh khalitsky and barabaka, the captain of King kazimiz''s guard, led their teams to launch a decisive charge towards the coalition local front. They want to buy time for their companions to cross the river.


    Mikhail vorodyavsky held a knife in his hand and his other injured hand hung on his chest. Mihau looked at Anjie on the left and halletsky on the right. They both nodded at him.


    At this time, there are no close relatives and friends. We are all comrades in arms.


    "For the sake of the Republic!" Mikhail shouted, pointing his saber forward.


    "Hooray! Hooray!"


    Everyone shouted together. That amazing momentum even overshadowed the Swedish artillery.


    Thousands of war horses raised their hooves at the same time, like a sandstorm on the battlefield.


    The shells of three pound guns and six pound guns kept falling among the cavalry, but the warriors were still indomitable.


    The cavalry on both wings of the coalition began to move faster. First, the Swedish dragoons jumped off their horses and formed a square of musketeers, firing at the Polish cavalry who rushed to kill them; Then the Swedish Lancers stood up with their guns ready for a counter charge.


    For a time, feather arrows, bullets and shells were woven into a dense fire network.


    Mihau is at the front. His horse was like a white light, and even shells could not catch up with its speed. Bullets flew past the little knight, but none of them could hurt him.


    Two Swedish Lancers rushed towards mihau with guns. Mihau men and horses rushed through the middle of the two Swedish Lancers. Mihau''s saber swung left and right at random, and the staggered Swedish Lancers fell off their horses. The wound on the hand seemed to have no effect on the little Knight''s sabre.


    Then mihau rushed into the square of Swedish dragon cavalry. He will kill an enemy with each knife. There is a gap in the square array when he cuts it. More and more polish cavalry rush into the gap and kill all the Swedish dragon cavalry


    At the ferry, King kazimizh, escorted by two winged cavalry, found sapega and yanush. More than two hours have passed, but less than a third of the soldiers crossing the visva river.


    Commander sapeja saw king kazimiz coming and hurried to meet him. He said to King kazimiz, "Your Majesty, please cross the river. We are here!"


    King kazimiz looked at the flustered crowd on the left and right, pointed at sapega with his whip and said, "how can I cross the river safely now? Order must be restored immediately, or no one can go."


    While talking, a shell fell on the Bank of the ferry river, causing huge spray.


    The scene became more chaotic.


    Yanush also came to King kazimiz. The water splashed all over him just now, and yanush was wet through.


    Yanush suggested to King kazimiz, "Your Majesty, the troops must cross the river separately. The Polish soldiers take the pontoon on the left, the Lithuanian soldiers and the wounded, as well as the baggage team take the pontoon on the right, and the Noble Cavalry take the middle. In this way, we can not be in a mess."


    King kazimizh thought what yanush said was very reasonable. He was the first to stand on a high platform of the pontoon on the left and shouted to the soldiers, "I am your king, Jan kazimiz. Now I order all Polish soldiers and officers to go to the pontoon here."


    Commander sapeja also stood on the platform of the floating bridge on the right and appealed to the Lithuanian soldiers.


    Then yanushi stood on the middle platform


    Order was restored in front of the ferry. The soldiers crowded in front of the ferry began to come to the pontoon and pass through the pontoon according to their respective ownership.


    Commander sapega watched Lieutenant Coppola cross the river and Prince mihau lay on a stretcher and was carried by two soldiers. The prince''s face was covered with thick pearl powder, white and frightening.


    Sapega only glanced and turned away from Prince mihau.


    Barabaka led the mountain people close to the Swedish long Spearman square. Facing the forest like spears, the mountain people are not afraid. They just clenched their axes.


    "Throw it!"


    Ten steps away from the long gunman''s phalanx, barabaka shouted.


    With the words, countless hatchets were thrown out. It was like an axe rain in the long Spearman square


    Due to the close distance and the heavy axe, more than ten spearmen were killed in an instant, and a big gap was broken in the square.


    The mountain people shouted again, and they plunged into the square array.


    This method of warfare is unprecedented for the Swedish spearmen. Being approached by the mountain people, the spears of the spearmen could not exert their due power. Only a few Swedish swordsmen and Scottish swordsmen resisted the attack of the mountain people, just like a reef in the tide, which was soon submerged.


    King Carl x stood on the hill. He saw the fighting at the foot of the mountain and the crossing of the river like an ant line.


    "Order! The cavalry don''t entangle with the enemy. They have only one goal, that is the ferry! The ferry!"


    "Yes," an adjutant wrote down the order.


    "Order again: General Douglas led the Swedish swordsman battalion to block back the group of enemies who broke through the long Spearman square."


    After confirming that King Carl X had no other orders, the adjutant went down the mountain. He will pass the order on to the count of Orval von Goya, Prince boguslav and General Robert Douglas ahead.


    Carl x raised his binoculars, and the scene of the ferry was clearly visible in his eyes. At this time, a mass of water splashes flashed through the lens of the single barrel telescope, and the water splashes were full of broken wood chips. But the floating bridge in the middle was finally hit by shells.
