The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and the gate of Bratslav was slowly opened. Entrusted by Pavlo tetria to welcome Cherchen, Captain steboriv appeared at the gate of the city.


    "Welcome, your excellency aleval Chechen," said company commander steborif, lowering his head under his belt.


    Chechen jumped out of the horse. He didn''t know steborif, so he had to say broadly when holding up steborif''s body: "Hello, old man."


    "I''m steboriv, the company commander of Bratslav team. Just call me by my name." steboriv straightened up and smiled.


    But when he saw Chechen''s fully armed armor, steborif''s smile solidified.


    "Just in case," Chechen explained hurriedly, "I don''t know if you know that Lord Stanislaw pototsky of the Polish mission was attacked by robbers on the way to Kiev last time."


    Steborif showed an expression of enlightenment.


    "You''re worried about it," he said. "When the captain of Baohong regiment was alive, he had long obeyed the bandits and Tatar Raiders near Bratslav. They dare to run wild elsewhere, but they dare not here."


    Then steborif made an "please" gesture.


    Chechen and steborif walked side by side towards the city, and yelishei and others got off their horses one after another.


    When Chechen walked into the city gate, he saw hundreds of Cossacks gathered around the city gate. They either wore open sheep fur coats, bare chests and breasts, or Cossack uniforms and wolf fur hats.


    But by coincidence, they all showed a ferocious look, and some people put their hands on the knives and gun handles around their waists.


    These people are all steborif''s men. After all, Pavlo tetria was still worried that Chechen was a bad comer, so he asked steborif to prepare a good hand in case of pity.


    Steborif saw Chechen''s eyes turning and patrolling around. He went to the nearest Cossack and kicked his hand on the handle.


    "What the fuck are you looking at? Chechen is a guest, not an enemy." steborif taught.


    Then, he changed his face and said to Chechen, "little brother Chechen, my men are rude and lack of education. I hope you don''t laugh."


    "It''s all right, I don''t laugh." Chechen said.


    Then, Chechen continued to walk towards the city.


    As the streets of Bratslav were not wide, the people brought by Cherchen had to move forward in two rows.


    At this time, two different styles of troops stood together and made judgments.


    Although the Hessian cavalry brought by Chechen is small, they can move neatly and uniformly. 150 people are like one person; Although the Cossacks were numerous, they were like a plate of loose sand.


    When the Cossacks around saw Cherchen coming, they all retreated around, but vaguely formed a situation of encirclement.


    For this blatant threat, Che Chen turned a blind eye. As he moved forward, he asked where Bao Hong''s coffin was now.


    "The coffin of the captain of Baohong regiment is now in the Orthodox Church in the city. Today, all our company commanders are holding a meeting in the church and we are electing a new regiment captain." steborif said, peeping at Cherchen''s face.


    But to his disappointment, Chechen''s face didn''t change at all. He just replied, "it''s really time for me to come."


    After a while, a crowd came to the church.


    The church door is open. Fatima was about to follow Chechen in, but steborif stopped her.


    "Sorry, this is the church," he said.


    The tone was mild, but the attitude was firm.


    "Then yelishei, you go in with me," said Chechen.


    "Yelishei is Russian and Orthodox," Cherchen explained.


    Yelishei came out of the queue step by step, with a full sack in his hand.


    "This is a gift from the head to Pavlo tetria, the metrological officer."


    When steborif asked, yelishei said so.


    Although not the captain of the regiment, Pavlo tetria regards himself as Bao Hong''s successor and welcomes Chechen.


    If it hadn''t been for Che Chen to have known his true face, he really regarded him as a good man by accident.


    "Your Excellency," said Chechen, holding Pavlo tetria''s hand, "I''m also uncle Blair. Vidava didn''t know the news of brother Bao Hong''s death until he came. I''m in a hurry. I hope I don''t disturb your business."


    "No, no," Pavlo tetria quickly denied.


    Then, his eyes turned, and now he looked at yelishei standing behind Chechen with a sack in his hand. Then he asked carefully, "Blair, why didn''t he come back with you?"


    "Uncle Blair was attacked on his way back."


    "Ah!" Pavlo tetria pretended to be extremely shocked.


    "Is he okay? Who''s the killer?"


    "Uncle Blair lost a leg, but his life was saved."


    "God bless you," Pavlo tetria punned.


    The company commanders in the church heard that Blair had become disabled and had different expressions on their faces. There are sympathy, lamentation and schadenfreude.


    At this time, Che Chen stepped back and said, "as for the murderer, I brought it."


    His words were unexpected, and as soon as Cherchen''s voice fell, yelishei untied the sack.


    A curled man rolled out of the sack.


    "Budak!"


    "It''s Budapest!"


    Those detachment leaders were shocked when they saw the people rolling out of the sack.


    Because they all know this person.


    This man is budak, a famous sharpshooter in Bratslav.


    When yelisi pulled out the rag that blocked budak''s mouth, budak cried and shouted, "the metrologist, save me, save me!"


    The detachment leaders looked at Pavlo tetria again.


    Budak''s words clearly prove that he was sent by Pavlo tetria.


    For a moment, Pavlo tetria''s face was as ugly as his dead father and mother.


    But soon, the metrological officer changed back to a calm expression.


    At this time, Pavlo taitria had killed Chechen.


    With his own advance mobilization, he surrounded Cherchen''s men in the square. At this time, he had no fear.


    Pavlo tetria walked backwards to the altar and said, "aleval Chechen, I regard you as my most respected guest, but you bought this man to slander me. I know you have a good relationship with Blair, but you don''t have to help him in this way."


    In a word, Pavlo tetria turned himself from a buyer into a victim, and Cherchen became a villain who deliberately murdered him.


    Hearing this reversal of black and white, Chechen smiled without anger. He asked, "then I want to ask you, how did I buy him at my own door in vidava? Did you send him for me to buy him?"


    Pavlo tetria was silent. He put his hand behind his back and secretly made a sign to a guard in the corner.


    Immediately, the guard left quietly.


    After Pavlo tetria finished his gesture, he no longer defended anything, but opened his hands and said to everyone, "guys, do you believe me or this outsider?"


    The leaders of the detachment looked at each other and wondered why Pavlo tetria suddenly asked this question.


    Commander dimosev, who had previously questioned Pavlo tetria, stood up and said to the metrology officer, "Pavlo, we just want to know the truth now. When the facts are clear, we naturally know who to believe and who not to believe."


    Company commander dimosev''s words were reasonable, and several company commanders immediately expressed their support for him.


    "I have already said the truth, that is, aleval Chechen bought budak to frame me," Pavlo tetria said firmly.


    Among the company commanders, steboriv, the supporter of Pavlo tetria, winked at Pavlo tetria and said that it was ready outside.


    At the same time, steborif was the first to stand up. He went to Pavlo tetria and said to the other detachment leaders, "I trust the metrologist."


    At this time, others are still hesitating.


    Commander dimosev simply roared, "Pavlo tetria!"


    The company commander was angry that Pavlo tetria, who had always been humble and respectful, turned over and over to prevaricate himself and everyone with such a sentence.


    But this did not attract Pavlo tetria''s answer, but dozens of Cossacks with knives and guns poured out of the side doors on both sides of the church altar.


    "Gentlemen, if you don''t want to believe me, I can''t force it. But whoever doesn''t want to go with me, don''t go." Pavlo tetria''s words were like an ultimatum.


    Then he looked up at the sky.


    "Team leader, he must be lonely in heaven. I hope someone will accompany him."


    Pavlo tetria saw that he had soldiers in his hand. Company commander Kanev, company commander nezamaynov, company commander lehimi, company commander Balaban and others retreated one after another, and they stood on Pavlo tetria''s side.


    Only two company commanders, Jamie Popovich and dimosev, remained principled.


    They stood still with Chechen and yelishei.


    Pavlo tetria shook his head regretfully.


    "I really don''t want to kill in church, but you forced me," he said.


    With that, Pavlo tetria raised his hand to order shooting.


    At this time, Che Chen suddenly shouted, "wait a minute!"


    Pavlo tetria''s hand stopped in mid air.


    "Aleval Chechen, do you have anything else to say? I''m afraid it''s a little late if you want to beg for mercy." Pavlo tetria was completely in control of the overall situation.


    Chechen first looked up at the ceiling of the church. He looked back and said to Pavlo tetria, "I have only one word."


    "What do you say?"


    "I really don''t want to kill in the church, but you forced me."


    He returned Pavlo tetria''s words to him intact.


    Pavlo tetria''s face froze.


    He was about to wave again when suddenly several black objects fell from the ceiling.


    The objects fell on the floor and made a dull noise.


    Then Pavlo tetria heard the burning of the fire rope.


    It''s a bomb!


    Pavlo tetria''s pupils contracted sharply in fear, and he grabbed his supporter steborif in front of him.


    With a few loud noises, the church was shrouded in darkness. The strong shock wave produced by the explosion broke all the glass.


    Before the explosion, Cherchen and yelishei pressed jamid Popovich and dimosev to the ground.


    "Cover your mouth and nose and walk with me, and retreat to the door." Chechen said.


    When the two branch leaders heard the speech, they all bent down and bowed back towards the gate.


    A black figure fell beside Chechen.


    "Fatima, you did a good job." Chechen praised his wife.


    After being stopped outside the church, Fatima, disguised as a Cossack, sneaked into the crowd. She quietly approached the church and managed to climb up the roof of the church.


    Those bombs falling from the sky are her masterpiece.


    Before Fatima answered, Pavlo tetria''s devil like roar came from the black smoke: "catch them, catch them! Don''t let them run away. I''ll break them into pieces with my own hands!"


    But Pavlo tetria''s desire to tear Cherchen to pieces is doomed to fail.


    As the church door was knocked open from the outside, fedot rushed in with people.


    Outside the church, the sudden explosion stunned Pavlo tetria.


    They stared at the church, wondering what was going on inside.


    Because of this distraction, they were dealt a heavy blow.


    Because the explosion is a signal of attack for the soldiers of the mercenary regiment.


    "Kill!"


    Xie Miao pulled out his saber and shouted.


    Then, like a stone falling into the water and causing a water halo, the Hessian cavalry pulled out their weapons at the same time and cut in all directions.


    They were suddenly attacked. Although these Cossacks were also ill intentioned and were ready to kill the mercenary regiment after receiving the order of Pavlo tetria, what appeared now was the tragic scene of Pavlo tetria''s Cossacks being killed and defeated.


    They were attacked by surprise. Pistols were fired against their heads and chest, and sabers and broadswords were stabbed directly against their chest. They were forced to the wall, into huts and barns, and they were cut and slashed by swords; The Cossacks behind were squeezed by the people in front, and the ones who ran away collided with those who came forward, making it even difficult for the Cossacks to raise their hands and weapons to fight back.


    In this state, the Cossacks in the innermost circle almost fell without resistance.


    Rows and rows of soldiers in cavalry half armour and half breastplate were forgetting themselves and working hard to cut down and pursue relentlessly, so that the Cossacks could not form a team, could not move a knife and could not breathe.


    In melee and melee, the gap between the two weapons and equipment was quickly reflected. Hessian heavy cavalry in cavalry and half armor are like huge steel towers. The saber of Cossacks makes a "jingling" sound on them, but it is difficult to hurt them. However, the musket that can pierce the armor is difficult to use in this kind of hand to hand combat.


    After cleaning up several small groups of Cossacks who gathered together to resist tenaciously, the mercenary regiment occupied the church in the city and an area around the square.


    The square was full of corpses. The corpses of the Cossacks, short spears, muskets and sabers lay a thick layer on the ground, making it impossible for people to step down.


    The remaining Cossacks threw away their spears and sabers and ran for their lives in an inhuman voice, regardless of their master in the church.


    "Build fortifications quickly, and the Cossacks will surely fight back. Also, let''s go to the church with me." Xie Miao, the temporary commander, pointed out everywhere.


    He shouted, pointing the saber in his hand to the western painting and issuing orders.


    Then he led a dozen soldiers into the church gate.
