The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

The tunnels that Pedro and the others successfully defended did not work in the end. When it was about to excavate to the city of Lida Fort, Lida Fort’s defenders discovered it using an earthen urn. The defenders successfully connected the tunnel through reverse excavation and buried it with explosives to destroy it. All the engineers working in the tunnel were buried by the collapsed tunnel.

As a result, Okinski spent countless hours and manpower and material resources in a month, using almost all siege methods, but he still got nothing.

In desperation, Ojinsky had to write a sincere letter to Prince Yanush. In the letter, Okinsky reported to the prince the achievements of the army in the past month and the tragic scene of the enemy forces in Lidarburg panicking under their own attacks. At the end of the letter, Okinsky turned to mention the high trenches of Lida Fort, and Jan Sobieski transformed it into a bastion. Although the Prince's army can be down, it will definitely pay a lot. In order to reduce the loss as much as possible, the soldiers in front eagerly hope that the huge artillery promised by the prince will arrive as soon as possible. Prior to this, the Prince's Army will closely encircle Lida Fort, preventing a traitor from escaping.

As soon as the messenger set off, the officers of the various barracks voluntarily stopped the attack on Lida Fort, and even the routine shelling stopped. After a month of hard fighting, the Prince's Army under the Fortified Fortress has long been exhausted, and some Polish militias have even deserted.

It couldn't be better for Cheerchen to be able to temporarily cease the war. In more than a month of fighting, the mercenary regiment has killed or injured forty or fifty people. Although the number of casualties is small, there are casualties every day but no progress has been made. This is also a great blow to morale. At this time, the mercenary group also needs to boost morale through rest. And he calculated the time, Father Spasocuco who went to Vizh should also be back. I don't know what kind of news he will bring back.

Cheerchen looked forward to it every day at the gate of the barracks, which was anxious for Pidro. Of course he knew who his nephew was waiting for his return, but Father Spaso Kukecki was imprisoned in Werner by himself. It is impossible for him to come to Lidaburg anyway, let alone bring hope. Of the news.

"Chechen, let's go back. Dinner is about to start soon. Today Aunt Varvara made your favorite potato and beef soup."

One day at lunchtime, Pidro saw Cheerchen sitting alone on a hill outside the barracks, looking in the direction of Werner, and stepped forward to remind him.

"Uncle, I'm not hungry." Cheechen said with some excitement. He had waited for three days, but the priest still did not come back. Calculating the time, even if the priest came to Lida Castle from Werner, it should have arrived long ago.

"Are you waiting for Father Spasokukotsky?" Piedro asked cautiously. My nephew is getting smarter now, and he talks too much, it is hard to guarantee that Cheerchen will not associate Spasokukotsky's delayed return to himself. After all, only two people knew the real reason why Father Spasokukotsky left, and he was the so-called "Yanush faction" in the regiment, who opposed Chechen and Mihav's contact.

"Yes, the priest went to Viri, but he hasn't returned yet. I don't know if something happened on the road."

It turned out that Cheer Chen was worried about the safety of the priest.

Pidro heard Chechen say this, a big rock in his heart fell. Then, he was somewhat relieved. Cheerchen still believed in his uncle.

"I don't think there will be anything. Spasokukotsky has the identity of a priest after all. The people here believe in Catholicism, and even the most brutal bandit will not do anything against a priest. But Chechen , Do you still want to abandon Prince Yanush?"

Pidro sat down beside Cheerchen, he first comforted Cheerchen, and then asked again.

"Uncle, haven't I said this several times?" Cheerchen glanced at Pidro. He felt that he had already understood his thoughts and principles very clearly.

"Of course I know. But then I thought about it again. Look, before the priest left, we were still in Werner, and we had not yet fought Jan Sobieski at that time. We were just with Jerzy. Khaletsky's grievance was settled, and it was easy to end with the relationship between Andrzej and Mihav. But now we are attacking Jan Sobieski's Lida Fort, this is a general! If he remembers hating us, even if the priest really reached an agreement with Mihavu and the others, if Jan Sobieski objected to it, wouldn't the agreement be a blank paper?" Piedro said.

"Last time we were only ordered to act, and it was also Jerzy Khaletsky's people who did it first. I have met General Jan Sobieski several times, and he is not such a careful person." Chechen felt Pi Dro is a little worried, why he keeps thinking about things bad.

"What you said makes sense~www.wuxiamtl.com~ But I think so. General Okinski has sent people to Werner to transport heavy artillery. Although Lida Fort’s defenses are strong, there are still some in front of the heavy artillery. Which castle can last. And this has been besieged for more than a month, even if there is no heavy artillery, the food in Lida Fort should be almost consumed. In the end, how can I say that the prince can win." Pidro said again.

At first, Cheerchen was still a little confused when he heard Pidro say this. Because Pidro said for a while that if Jan Sobieski won, he would not let go of his opponents, and then said that Yanush would win, which is simply incoherent. But Cheerchen thought about it, and finally he realized that his uncle meant only one thing, and that was to persuade himself to give up his plan to betray Yanush.

Uncle Piedro's ideas have never changed. Cheerchen thought sadly. For a while, he even wanted to hand over the mercenary group to Pidro to take care of him, and he and those like-minded people who were not willing to work for Yanush anymore found another way out. Perhaps, he could be the captain of the infantry team under Andrzej's command.

"Uncle, I know what you want to say." Cheerchen interrupted Pidro. He looked at his uncle's eyes, and the look of helplessness and abandonment in Piedro's eyes became a little hairy.

"If you really think staying with Yanush is the only way out for us, then..."

"Head, deputy head, it's not good!"

Chechen's "then" hadn't been finished yet, and Tepesh ran over with him. He stumbled and dismounted and walked to the two of them.

"General Ojinsky is calling a meeting of officers, you go back quickly." Tepesh said breathlessly.

"What happened?" Pidro asked hurriedly.

"Jan Sobieski’s reinforcements are here! There are tens of thousands of people."
