"I'm willing to accept this task," Koval asked, "and how will the two armies cooperate after our army has captured the bridge over the Neris River?" If they hold on to the southern part of the city and storm the Neris Bridge with all their might, I will have to blow it up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Although Koval was certain that he would hold the bridge against enemy attacks, his army would suffer heavy losses in that case. For Koval, who used these troops as the foundation of his own military exploits, this was extremely difficult for him to accept.

"We can't blow up the Neris Bridge, we want to rule Vilnius for a long time after we take Vilnius, so it's best not to destroy the city's important buildings, factories, bridges, historical buildings should be protected as much as possible. We can't stay in this city as a vandal, and we can't beat it to ruins so that we won't get anything but the hatred of the locals. ”

Koval listened and thought for a moment and said, "Then the best way is to transfer or force the enemy out of the southern city and fight outside the city, so as to reduce the damage to the city." If we show more strength than the enemy and push the enemy too hard, they will resist stubbornly, and it is very likely that they will shrink into the southern city and wait for reinforcements, which is a very bad situation. So I think the eastern defensive positions should hide their strength, so that the enemy dares to get out of their turtle shells. ”

At this point, Koval stopped talking.

For a veteran like General Vilko, a slight reminder is enough. If he continued, he would probably think that Koval was directing him and ruining the relationship between the two.

The two rode through the troops, and General Vilco had the second battalion stationed in an open space outside the city, and Varennes's volunteers were given lodging elsewhere.

In the evening, General Vilko held a simple party in the town.

Koval was invited to participate, and when he walked into the venue, all the leaders of the volunteers from various villages and towns came, all dressed in the costumes of the Tsarist army, except for the Polish flag sewn on his arm, thinking that a Tsarist Russian nobleman was holding a banquet!

Who can tell the difference?

Inside the hall there are several long tables filled with all kinds of food. Many rare and precious foods, such as cheese, beef, roast chicken, caviar, and Volga, are placed on the table one by one, and everyone can enjoy them at will.

When Koval saw so many delicious things for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh: This seems to be too decadent to think of a nobleman's banquet and a military meeting like this! What rotten capitalism!

During the previous arduous march, Koval had insisted on eating and living with the soldiers, sharing weal and woe, and was really fed up with all kinds of poor food, and it was also very hard.

Koval also wanted to secretly make some supper in his tent, but thought that if someone found out, then the image of his painstaking management would be ruined, and finally gave up.

Koval once had a voice in his heart ask himself: Koval, you came to this world to do great things, to repel Red Russia, rule Poland, and calm the country, why should you wronged yourself? Why pretend to share the weal and woe with the soldiers? You love good food, beautiful women, and all kinds of pleasures from your past life, and you hate hard black bread, mushy broth, and a bunch of people sleeping in a tent with a smoky bunch. Why should you force yourselves to find sin?

This voice kept tempting Kovar, and sometimes Koval thought that if he was a genius like Han Xin and Huo Quzhi, maybe he would indulge himself.

But unfortunately, even after two lifetimes, Koval felt that the combined wisdom of the two lives might still not be comparable to those geniuses.

Sometimes Koval feels that no matter how much he studies, he can't catch up with those natural generals, so why not be an ordinary general? Xueba, this kind of creature, it's desperate to think about!

But every night Koval looked at those military books, and used the stories in the books to remind himself repeatedly: although he can't become a natural general, as long as he persists, he may become a military strategist like Wu Zi, and they will be even stronger.

After abstinence for so long, Koval was so defenseless to look at these delicacies that he found a corner, picked up a steak, and ate it.

Most of the captains around them were also eating and drinking in secret, and after a few drinks, they all let go completely and enjoyed themselves without any scruples.

Koval was skeptical that if he continued to drink like this, most of these guys would get drunk, and they would not be able to go to war tomorrow.

At the head of the lobby, there was a slightly smaller table, and General Vilko sat in a solemn and majestic Brigadier General costume of Tsarist Russia, surrounded by several officers who behaved more modestly, all with an air of elegance. , while talking, while slowly tasting wine.

Wearing a new Polish military uniform, Koval stood out in the crowd. Even if he hides in the corner, he still makes everyone look sideways.

General Vilko saw that everyone had filled their stomachs a little and that they had almost drunk enough, so he picked up his hammer and struck the rattle on the table.

"Ding!! A crisp sound echoed through the venue. Everyone put down their food.

The maid came over and poured each one a small half glass of wine.

General Vilko stood up, raised his glass, and said solemnly: "Welcome to all of you today, and I feel very grateful to all of you for responding to my call to come and fight together. I would like to toast you all! ”

There was a cheer below, and he raised his glass and dried.

"Today, there is also an important guest, Major Kovar of the Polish Army, who leads the army and will fight with us." General Vilko raised his glass and pointed at Koval and said loudly, "Let's have a toast to welcome Major Koval!" ”

There was another shout below, and the glass was raised.

Koval looked at the gazes of everyone, stood up and said: "The Polish government and the Polish army support the attack on Vilnius, and I will fight with everyone!" ”

After saying that, he drank another glass. The people around cheered. It seems that they have a little more confidence in being able to have the army involved.

General Vilko continued: "Tomorrow is the time for us to attack Vilnius, our army is far outnumbered by the Red Russian troops, and the elite Polish army, and the final victory will definitely be ours!" ”

There was another cheer below.

"I hope that all the teams can work together, abide by military discipline, and fight bravely, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law!" General Vilko snapped.

Everyone was shocked.

"Poland will never perish!" General Vilko raised his glass and shouted.

"Poland will never perish!" The crowd responded in unison.

The music of the Polish national anthem sounded in the venue, and everyone sang loudly to the melody.
