Then, Christina and Wittenberg conducted a simulation exercise of attack and defense in mountain forest terrain and river bank terrain. However, in addition to the victory of mountain forest terrain, the confrontation between Christina and Wittenberg was still a draw.
In the face of such a result, Chechen and other three people all frown.
Seeing the sad faces of the three, Carlson tried to comfort her majesty.
He said: "Your Majesty, at least we still have the hope of winning, and at least we can draw with Carl X. you should be happy. And this is only a simulation, not a real battlefield situation."
Christina did not speak to Carlson''s comfort.
A draw was a failure for Christina. Although there are many factors that determine the battlefield, even a stray bullet flying aimlessly can change the war situation, any well-known commander will not put the hope of victory on this illusory luck.
Carlson was a little embarrassed. He felt he had said the wrong thing.
The atmosphere in the room was dignified for a moment.
After a while or so, after the servant outside the door came in and changed the candles, Christina compromised with Chechen and Wittenberg: "count, there is Chechen. You should arrange according to the defense plan put forward by Chechen this morning."
In the end, Christina chose compromise and a safe plan - even if it was only a temporary delay of her failure.
In the next few days, Wittenberg set up defensive positions in the suburbs of Riga, while Chechen built fortifications along the banks of dinaborg fortress and daugawa with 3000 mercenaries.
Christina is not idle. In addition to her constant encouragement in Riga, she also sent messengers every day to write letters to the monarchs of various countries, including the inter provincial Republic, the Principality of Prussia, Czarist Russia and the Habsburg family, seeking external assistance.
On this day, Chechen is personally strengthening the fortification at Fort Dina. After the battle of konotop, the Tatars captured Raphael, the French engineer who served Prince Alexei. After knowing his identity, Cherchen spent 500 tales to redeem him, on the condition that Raphael would teach the officers of the mercenary regiment the knowledge of military engineering. Under the careful instruction of Raphael for more than three months, the level of fortifications and forts built by Cherchen is no less than those engineers with professional background.
Just as Chechen inserted a carbonized sharp stake into the soil, a reconnaissance cavalry galloped to Chechen.
The horses galloped so fast that when their hooves stopped, the flying dust fell on the heads of the people under the trench.
"Commander, the enemy is found thirty miles away." the reconnaissance cavalry blushed and the wings of his nose played violently.
Che Chen suddenly raised his head.
"Finally," he thought.
"How many people?"
"Fifty men, but all well-equipped, heavy armored pistol cavalry."
Hearing what the reconnaissance cavalry said, Chechen was very surprised. As Sweden''s trump card, heavy armour pistol cavalry has always existed as a decisive assault force. No commander will send these expensive cavalry to carry out reconnaissance missions. And their heavy armor not only gives them super defense, but also limits their mobility. In terms of long-distance attack and chase, they are far less than professional reconnaissance cavalry.
"Is it that any rash noble son of Carl X''s army went out without permission regardless of the military order?" Chechen guessed such a possibility. But soon he put this possibility behind him - it may be possible in the Polish army, but Carl x, who ruled the army harshly, would never let it happen.
"What flag are they fighting?"
"The flag of Brauer Williamsburg."
Chechen didn''t expect that Brauer weixingsburg personally led the reconnaissance team. If it was him, it would make sense to lead a team of Swedish heavy armor pistol cavalry. After all, such a team of elite is in line with the status of Marshal of his kingdom.
At this time, a bold idea deeply gripped netherchen''s heart - he wanted to capture Brauer weixingsburg alive.
Once this idea comes out, it is like a flood breaking the dike. If he could capture Karl X''s Marshal alive, it would be a heavy blow to the enemy''s morale, and Karl x would lose his best commander.
Do what you say. Cherchen ordered all his cavalry - a total of eighty. Then he ordered all the mules and horses to be collected, and then each cavalry took an infantry, a total of 196 infantry mixed troops, led by the reconnaissance cavalry, headed in the direction of braue wickensburg.
When the two troops met, Chechen immediately found that his enemy was so unusual.
Brauer willingsburg rode ahead. He wore armor and was surrounded by a very strong flag bearer. Behind them were Swedish pistol heavy armour cavalry in neat formation of five people in groups of ten. Each heavy armour cavalry had a long sword out of its sheath and leaned against his shoulder.
Chechen soon judged that Brauer wickensburg was not the reconnaissance he had imagined. He came to provoke and declare war.
When Chechen found Brauer weixingsburg, Brauer weixingsburg also saw Chechen. When he saw that it was Chechen rather than Christina''s flag, the veteran''s eyes showed disappointment.
Soon, however, Brauer Williamsburg put the mood away. He pointed his long sword in the direction of Chechen, and fifty Swedish heavy armor pistol cavalry scattered in two lines.
At this time, Cherchen''s troops had not finished the formation, but it was strange that braue weixingsburg did not take advantage of this great opportunity to launch an attack, but waited in place.
Although Brauer Williamsburg''s actions were strange, what he did was good for himself after all. So Chechen ordered all the infantry to dismount and form a small infantry square.
The 80 cavalry were divided into two teams to protect the two wings of the phalanx.
Seeing the enemy''s potential, Brauer Williamsburg''s old face smiled. His mount, the old man who accompanied him all his life, seemed to feel the mood of the owner''s appointment. It shook its head and hit a loud nose.
Brauer Williamsburg stroked the old man''s neck. Then he straightened up.
"Gentlemen, it''s my honor to fight side by side with you," cried the old marshal.
"Long live, long live! Long live our field marshal Brauer Williamsburg!" cried the soldiers.
At the finger of Brauer weixingsburg''s long sword, 50 Swedish heavy armor cavalry began to trot with their horses, and banded white snow dust rose from one end of the queue to the other.
Cherchen knew that except the winged cavalry of the Republic of Poland, no cavalry in the world could resist the charge of the Swedish heavy armor pistol cavalry, so he ordered the winged cavalry to retreat and let the square array composed of 116 infantry resist the charge of the enemy cavalry.
The nearly 5-meter long spear pointed obliquely in front. The spearmen leaned forward, their left leg moved forward, and their right leg stepped on the tail of the long spear.
The hammer and anvil collided.
In the first round, the horses of the heavy Armored Cavalry stood up with their front hooves hanging in the air. The whole long line of front, from one end to the other, glittered with a long white sword above the head of the assassin, like a silver snake dancing and lightning splitting into the air.
Then the tip of the gun hit the armor and the chest of the horse, making a disastrous sound.
Countless long guns were broken and countless knights were sacked. The formation of both sides of the fierce killing began to distort and became a half moon in an instant.
Although the long gun array was strong, the central part could not withstand this round of impact under the charge of Swedish heavy armor cavalry, and they were forced to retreat step by step.
The heavy cavalry who survived the first round of impact did not allow the infantry to breathe. They fought fiercely in the center and launched a terrible fight.
Seeing that the infantry array was about to collapse, Cherchen ordered the trumpeter to blow the horn, and the two winged cavalry surrounded the Swedish cavalry like crane wings.
On one side are the Swedish heavy armour pistol cavalry who are tall, wearing iron armor and can break through the walls of Babylon by the impact of war horses alone, while on the other side are the energetic and dominant mercenary cavalry. Two cavalry chop fiercely in the space mixed with infantry.
Like a group of loggers rushing into a tall and straight pine forest, they only heard the thump of axe cutting, and then the towering trees fell down one by one.
Every moment, one of the mercenaries tilted his head with a shiny helmet, and the huge body rolled down the saddle; One of the Swedish heavy Armored Cavalry just raised his sword, but he was suddenly hit in the chest by a bullet, and then the whole person fell to the ground like an iron bucket full of water.
Chechen also rushed into the enemy array. His sword made the enemy dizzy. The whizzing wind always wound their faces and eyes for a moment.
A Swedish heavy armour pistol cavalry with black hair and black beard raised his Epee high, but before he cut it, the knight felt that the cold tip of Chechen''s knife had poked into his body from under his arm, so the Epee fell from his hand, and he himself fell on the horse''s neck with a face of reluctance.
The Musketeers began to fire as the infantry phalanx retreated to the rear under the cover of cavalry regrouped. As a result, more and more Swedish heavy armour pistol cavalry rolled their saddles and fell off their horses, and the fallen bodies accumulated more and more densely.
In the center of the enemy line where Chechen himself fought, the enemy troops and horses became thinner and thinner. Almost every Swedish pistol cavalry had to face two or three mercenaries.
But even if the outcome is a foregone conclusion, these cavalry still fight to the death. Chechenge blocked an enemy''s epee. He suddenly saw Brauer weixingsburg riding a jujube red pony, always fighting with four or five mercenaries.
Although the Swedish marshal is old, his sword technique is amazing. He forced his four or five cavalry to retreat day by day.
With a loud cry, Chechen rushed towards Brauer weixingsburg, and the two quickly exchanged a sword.
Chechen has already obtained the unique skills and true biography of the volodyavsky knight. Coupled with the progress with Yakov cherkaski after the first World War, Chechen extinguishes the spark of human life as quickly and easily as extinguishing a candle.
He took a sword against Brauer willingsburg. When the two horses crossed and passed, Chechen''s sword swung back, and the blade hit Brauer willingsburg''s back again.
But strong cavalry armour saved Brauer Williamsburg''s life.
The marshal saw that it was Chechen who fought with him. He left other opponents and rushed to Chechen.
He swung his knife to chop. Sometimes he only picked it on the tip of the knife. Sometimes he drew a circle in front of his chest, but each move was as fast as lightning. His hand raised the knife and fell the move, which was not far from the key of braue willingsburg.
Brauer Williamsburg was old after all, and he could not resist it. The old Marshal squinted and saw that there were few of his children''s soldiers left, and the only few who were left were also facing the threat of guns.
Brauer Williamsburg shouted loudly. He passed through Chechen from the thorn slope and rushed towards the Musketeers who were raising their guns to shoot.
"That man is Brauer Williamsburg!" Chechen shouted.
His intention was to remind the Musketeers not to shoot and kill the Swedish marshal, but to catch him alive. But his words were counterproductive - the Musketeers heard that it was Brauer willingsburg, and they turned their guns to Brauer willingsburg.
After a pea like gunshot, Brauer Williamsburg fell on the horse''s neck like lightning.
When only a few Swedish heavy armour pistol cavalry saw the marshal shot, they let out a wolf howl. Then they jumped off their horses and ran and crawled down in front of the body of brae wickensburg, ignoring the enemies all around.
"Marshal!" the soldiers wailed.
Although it was the enemy, the cry of Swedish heavy armour pistol cavalry seemed to infect these mercenaries who licked blood at the edge of the knife. They put down their weapons one after another and looked at these loyal men.
Chechen took the saber back into its scabbard. He rode into the body of Brauer Williamsburg and looked carefully at the marshal.
Although he was shot to death, Brauer Williamsburg looked calm. Chechen didn''t know if it was an illusion. He saw a relieved smile at the corner of Brauer weixingsburg''s mouth.
Chechen jumped off his horse and went to the body of the flag bearer of Brauer weixingsburg nearby. He picked up the big flag, took off the flag and spread it on Brauer Williamsburg.
To the Swedish heavy armour pistol cavalry, Chechen said: "although they belong to the enemy and ourselves, marshal Brauer wickensburg''s heroic fighting is really admirable. Take the Marshal''s body back and give it to your King Carl X. I think Carl x will not blame you and will bury marshal wickensburg."
A Swedish heavy armour pistol cavalry with a beautiful goatee raised his head. He said with a sad face, "there is no king. Marshal, he came to die. He wants to go to heaven with his majesty."
There is no king anymore!!??
Che Chen was shocked by the other party''s words and didn''t know it.
After a while, he reacted from the shock and stammered, "you mean Carl x is dead?"
"Yes, your majesty. He died just two days ago," replied the cavalry.
Chechen''s excited face flushed and his whole body trembled.
Carl x died like this? Christina''s biggest obstacle to regaining the Swedish throne, the God of war of the Swedish army and the initiator of the invasion of Poland?
If Brauer wickensburg had not fallen in front of him, Cherchen really suspected that it was a trap set by Carl x to lure himself out of the fortification and fight in the field.
"Come on, take them all back. Take them to Riga to see her majesty." Chechen ordered a mercenary officer.
The prisoners consciously stood up and were at the mercy of each other - Brauer Williamsburg died, and their energy and spirit disappeared with Brauer Williamsburg''s death.
Just as the officer escorted the prisoner to leave for Riga, Cherchen stopped him again.
"Bring me a word to her majesty and say..." Chechen paused and looked into the distance with a meditative look.
"Just say, Stockholm is waiting for her to be crowned."
