062 Under the tragic war of attrition

Hong Tiancheng soon received Karl. Huberts broke the Polish offensive and almost succeeded in the counter-offensive, but this almost meant that it would never succeed......

Because the cavalry superiority of the Polish army was too great, the counteroffensive of the infantry of the Taiping army could not stop the momentum of the elite Polish hussars charging from all directions. Huberts also understood this, so after discovering the return of the Polish hussars, he decisively led his men to retreat under the walls of the town of Beshef.

At the same time, Kareshentov glanced gloomily at the first three senior officers of the Polish militia and mercenaries, and said to the note-taker next to him in a cold voice: "The three of them are not good at fighting, remove all military positions and demote them to the vanguard, fill them into the next offensive wave, and tell the officers who take over, if the failure of the previous one happens again, I will directly cut off their heads!" ”

After the three high-ranking officers, who were too depressed to say a word, were dragged down, Krysztov's henchman cavalry officer on the side proposed: "General, why don't we let the cavalry dismount and participate in the siege battle, these mercenaries and militia have suffered very heavy losses, and if they continue to fight like this, their morale will be broken." ”

"Well, launch another wave of general attack, if it doesn't work, let the cavalry dismount and cooperate, damn it! Where did the Taiping army get so many muskets, even flint firing guns that the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania did not have in line!

None of the Russian archers are fully equipped with flintlock pistols! ”

Cal. Huberts returned to the home of the Swedish veteran swordsman under the city walls, this counterattack disrupted the offensive rhythm of the Polish infantry formation, and the Poles needed a long time to regroup, and the Swedish veteran swordsman who had been fighting for most of the day could finally take a good rest.

However, Carl. Huberts glanced at the senior Swedish swordsman who was sitting or lying on the ground gasping for breath, roughly estimated the number of people in his heart, and sighed helplessly.

Although the corpses of Polish soldiers on the battlefield under the city walls were stacked layer by layer, there were less than 600 Swedish senior swordsmen who still had combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for the Taiping musketeers at the head of the city who had always had the advantage in shooting, I am afraid that the senior Swedish swordsmen would not have been able to hold on for a long time.

As for the original Polish slave soldiers and the Polish Taiping Warrior Battalion, the formation can already be declared outlawed......

Hong Tiancheng didn't expect the Poles to hate him so much and attack so fiercely, while Krysztof didn't expect that the Taiping Army would be so capable of fighting, and the high rate of firearms was desperate!

Of course, the losses of the Taiping musketeers at the head of the city were not small, although they had an advantage, but the Polish musketeers who fired at them under the city wall were not without results, but compared to the combat range of the city wall, the number of musketeers of the Taiping army was quite enough.

Krysztof looked at the sky and said to the generals under his command: "The Taiping army on the opposite side is weak in strength, most of the elites are fighting on the front line, and the mental and physical consumption is much greater than that of our army.

The Polish cavalry dismounted, and rushed straight forward if the first round of infantry attack failed, otherwise we would not have much time to end the battle before dark. ”

With Krysztof issuing orders layer by layer, all the reserves of the Polish army were pulled to the front, and most of the cavalry units under Krysztof were knights and small and medium-sized nobles loyal to him, and the execution and loyalty were still very reliable, which was also the capital that he could drive thousands of mercenaries and Zhytomyr militia desperately.

Cal. Huberts looked at the Polish army formation that had regrouped and strengthened its strength, and hurriedly called out to the Swedish senior swordsman who was resting, and looked back at the figures of the Taiping army musketeers standing at the head of the city with a solemn face, and said in his heart:

"I hope that after this attack, the Poles will be able to retreat, there are too many dead......"

Standing at the head of the city, Hong Tiancheng Bikal. Huberts could see more clearly that every move of the cavalry dismounted in the Polish army fell into his monoculars.

He looked at the Polish hussars, whose armor and defense were not much worse than those of the Swedish senior swordsmen, took a deep breath, and gave a secret order - to prepare the people in the city for street fighting.

The combat effectiveness of the Polish hussars was not much lower than that of the Swedish senior swordsmen, and the number was much higher than that of the Swedish senior swordsmen, and Hong Tiancheng, who had seen the cruelty of the war, no longer expected to defeat his opponent at the head of the city......

Of course, there is also a little advantage for the Polish army to send Polish hussars, the hussars are not those cannon fodder mercenaries and militiamen, as long as there is money and weapons, it is only a matter of time before how many are pulled out, once the Polish hussars are seriously damaged, the Polish army basically loses the ability to continue the offensive.

With such heavy casualties, the only morale that supported the Polish army to continue fighting was none other than the Polish hussars, who had achieved remarkable results.

With the sound of the familiar trumpet, the wild shouts of 'Long live Great Poland' once again filled the town of Beshew, and the armor of the veteran Swedish swordsman was destined to be soaked in blood today, both enemy and their own!

Under the crowded charge of the Polish infantry, the musket salvo at the head of the Taiping army was only used for consumption, and fierce hand-to-hand combat was also fought under the city walls.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the Polish hussars came forward to replace the Polish infantry, which had suffered heavy losses, while the veteran Swedish swordsmen opposite them were not only almost exhausted, but also numbered just over 200......

Almost ten to one in number, the Swedish veteran swordsmen included Karl. The only thing Huberts can do is to die with dignity......

Cal. Huberts did what he promised, and until the last Swedish veteran swordsman fell, not a single one surrendered or fled!

After the destruction of the Swedish veteran swordsman's regiment, the Polish infantry with a large number of ladders on their shoulders replaced the withdrawn Polish hussars and rushed to the head of the city!

Wave after wave of offensives showed Krysztoff's strong command ability and battlefield scheduling ability, and the cooperation of thousands of people under his command was like a clockwork machine, and nothing went wrong!

Hong Tiancheng commanded the Taiping Army by relying on the military quality and loyalty of the Taiping Army, while Krysztof commanded the army entirely by his personal talent.

Krysztoff, who can threaten the inheritance of the eldest son of the family, is undoubtedly outstanding in his own military talent, and it is precisely because his eldest brother knows this that he will try to weaken his prestige and even get rid of him!
