Chapter 128: Cunning People Live Long
The Cossacks could not be said to have no permanent residence, but the big cities were completely absent.
The largest Cossack town at the moment is Korsun in Srinitsky. A big 'town' of 1,000 people.
It was not easy to find this place, and after killing seventeen Cossack prisoners in a row, someone finally confessed the location of Korson. The swamps, rivers and lakes were muddy and difficult to navigate, and it took the army four days to trek here.
Korsun is probably northwest of present-day Kafbas, Ukraine, but it is not important because the only modern association with the city is the Battle of Kolson by the Nazis and Maozi.
Srinitsky gathered his men in Korsun. Srinitsky is still waiting for support from Polish officials in Kamenets and other places to the west. Srinitsky was the canonized Cossack chief of the Polish-Lithuanian king.
Soon, however, news of the breach of a large area of Cossack villages in the east reached Kolson.
"We should be out right away! They don't have sixty thousand! There are no forty thousand! There are only more than 10,000 people! ”
"But they have sharp cannons!"
"Shut up, you coward! The scimitar in the warrior's hand will not bow down to the soft egg that can only sneak attack! ”
.......
In the Cossack camp, more than a dozen lieutenant Cossacks were entangled in each other's opinions, ready to tell each other with their fists that what I said was the truth!
Srinitsky was used to seeing such situations, but today is different. With a calm face, he pulled out a letter.
"This is a reply from the shameless King of Poland. He said....... This is your Cossack's own business, solve it yourself. And if it's not good, he's going to take my head?! Srinitsky read the letter with indignation, as if a thousand furnaces had burned this bastard to death!
"****!"
"Deflated three!"
Srinitzsky pressed his hand in the air, making the atmosphere in the stadium less hot.
His wrinkled face huddled together, his beard knotted, and he shouted murderously, "Since the son of a bitch, Kachimilz doesn't care about us, we don't have to wait for him!" Kill! Let's go to the decisive battle! ”
After saying that, Slinitsky pulled out the Chizhou-made saber from his waist, pierced the letter, and threw it into the brazier.
However, some Cossack lieutenants suddenly felt that their eyes were not flowered, and there was nothing on that brown paper......
Krakow.
Kachimilz IV was dealing with government affairs.
The Polish-Lithuanian kingdom now served one lord, and Kachimirz IV naturally chose Krakow, which had better economic conditions, and Lithuania was like a rural village. Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, has yet to build a stone wall.
"Sir, what about the letters with the Habsburgs? Is there a reply from there? "After a long period of aristocratic training, Kachimilz IV is now a Polish nobleman. (Although the Poles are also considered impolite barbarians)
The chief steward went out to check the letters. Soon, he returned with a letter written in sheepskin.
Elizabeth of Habsburg did not reply. It was Srinitsky, the head of the canonical Cossacks of South Ruthenia, who wrote you a letter. ”
"Read it."
“...... To the King of Poland, Grand Duke of Lithuania....... The despicable chieftain of the Tatar Khanate is once again at war! He leads 200,000 mad Tatars into our peaceful territory. Countless villages were brutally smashed by them, women were captured, and men were beheaded! They chanted the name 'Christians die' and worshipped evil gods! ....... O my noble king! Your loyal servant, Srinitsky, the leader of the Cossacks, beseeches you to send your invincible army to expel the hated Tatars......"
Throwing down the letter, Cage Milds IV said amusedly: "These greedy bastards have actually hit me with their thoughts? ”
"Is it something that the Cossacks are harassing the Tatars again?" Kachimilz IV had long seen the state of the group like Cossack psoriasis, so he did not think that the Tatar chieftain would be fine with tens of thousands of people to march on the territory of the Cossacks.
"That's right. It is said that in the summer, there was an important rebellion within the Crimean Khanate, and the Cossacks ran after the rebels in order to take advantage. The governor was also very disdainful of the Cossacks.
"Then let him suffer a little more, our focus is still on marrying Elizabeth! The Hungarian throne, and the Bohemian throne......." Kachimilz IV thought for a moment, then took out another piece of paper and wrote it to the governor: "This is a reply to the bastard." ”
"Oh? Can the minister know what is written in this letter? "The manager was curious.
"I said, when I gather an army of millions, I'll help him." Kachimilz IV, smiling very brightly......
.......
The Cossacks were going to take the initiative to find the main force of the Tatars, but they had just woken up, as if there was a large force of cavalry outside the city!
It's been discovered!
The morale of the Cossacks involuntarily fell.
"Pull out the cannon! Boom me! ”
The four-pounder and two-pounder guns were pointed in a semicircular artillery array at the town that seemed to be trembling!
"Fire!"
The thunderous artillery is once again in full swing! Korsun, who had already been overcrowded due to the influx of Cossacks, was now a good target! The flying iron bullets will not talk nonsense with you, and they will cross a terrifying trajectory in the roar!
Flesh and blood! Blood and fire extinguished!
The Cossacks now don't have artillery, at most they have a few small muskets, so they can only watch their towns, and their brothers are blown up by the devil who wants their lives!
"Damn it! Break through! Otherwise, there will be no chance! Do you want to wait for death like this? "Someone shouted!
"That's right! Breakthrough! Bring our horses! Fast! ”
Srinitsky also shouted!
It seems that the Cossacks have already reached an agreement and fought together in a bloody battle!
"Go open the back door!" Srinitsky whispered to his subordinates.
So soon, while the artillery fire was still thick, the Cossacks concentrated their forces and prepared to break through from the southwestern gate!
"Huh? And what about Srinitsky? ”
Gone, their leaders gone.
The Cossacks searched the whole city and soon found the small gate that had just been opened to the northeast!
"Traitor! Despicable! The Cossacks will never be slaves! ”
The remaining Cossacks desperately began a new death charge! However, will Qin Cang let them go?
Speeding by, the Tatars who swept diagonally had already shouldered their rifles! Straighten the bow and arrows! On the other side, gunpowder is still raging in the almost abandoned town of Kolsun, and the Cossacks are in a desperate situation! (Once Literature Network,)
