October 7, 1747. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After more than three days of intense construction, the Tartarian army built seven pontoon bridges over the Vistula River.

These pontoons look very sturdy and very spacious. The Tartarian army did not cut corners at all. They started construction almost at the same time and were completed at the same time. In terms of numbers, it was twice as many as the three or four seats that Willian had anticipated at the beginning.

From this point, it can also be seen that Sarida Khan has an attitude towards this war.

After the pontoon bridge was built, William noticed that the Tartarian army began to cut down their beachhead artillery group. A large number of light infantry guns were pushed away. The other side seems to want to transport these guns along the pontoon bridge to the opposite bank to participate in the next siege and defense battle.

"Artillery, pontoons, and then a huge number of cannon fodder units armed with cold weapons. Sarida Khan has gathered all the elements of the fortification. I just don't know what the effect will be. William muttered. Then he left the city again. Go back to your room and rest.

After observing the opponent's position for a while, he went back to his room to rest. Such a schedule has become William's daily routine.

However, it stands to reason that such a relatively ordinary daily life will change after a day.

"Hold a meeting, call all the officers. Go to the operations boardroom. After leaving the city, William suddenly said this to the star officer.

"-Immediately, immediately!" and added.

Fifteen minutes later, in the fortress's battle room, William, the mercenary commanders he had hired, and the officers of his lineage, the Circassian New Army, had gathered. The officers in charge of the various parts of the fortress were methodical and somewhat routine, briefing the supreme commander of the fortress, William, about the current situation.

"The artillery has been fully commissioned. Shells, gunpowder are also ready. ”

"The new army and mercenary units defending the various sections of the parapet and the fort are also ready. ”

"Wartime bonuses and special allowances have been paid. The pre-war mobilization had been issued, and at the same time, the last wave of messengers had left. ”

"There are no problems with the various warehouses of the fortress. The use of cellaring methods, waterproof and fireproof treatment, there is no need to worry about being affected by the war or spies. ”

"The supplies in the fortress are abundant, whether it is food, military uniforms, cloth or weapons and equipment, it is enough to support more than a year. ”

"The Forces New and the Mercenaries are ready for battle, Commander, give your orders. ”

One by one, the officers reported on the work they were in charge of. After this, the last words were uttered, represented by John Jr.

After this, William was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Everyone, tomorrow, the war that begins tomorrow will determine the future fate of the human world. History will remember this moment. And to participate in this war. The people who held the fort. I, all of you, and the soldiers under our command, will be called heroes after this. ”

After saying this in a deep voice, in a narrative tone, William stood up: "Except for the officers on duty, go and rest! Tomorrow, I want you to face this war with the most abundant experience! Let those brutes with limbs and hooves see the power of human beings!"

As William's words fell, the rest of the officers also stood up. Their roars were uttered at the highest volume - and upon hearing this, the soldiers stationed all over the fortress, on the parapets, in the forts, and in the barracks, came out, raised their heads, raised their muskets, spears, swords, and battle axes, and roared in response.

The bayou fortress boiled for a moment - the sound pierced through the clouds and shook everything around the fortress, cutting out all the animals except people. At the same time, this roar naturally alarmed Sarida Khan and his army of Tartaria.

"Father-" At the side of Sarida Khan in the Golden Horde, his favorite youngest son, Celile, became a little uneasy when he heard the voice. On the other side, his eldest son, Kublai Bhulai, who was most important, also stopped drinking. He pressed the wine glass on the table, and at the same time subconsciously grasped the hilt of his knife.

"Nothing. "After a little distraction, Sarida Khan returned to normal. He looked at his two sons, who were nervous and restless, and replied comfortingly: "It's just a bunch of boring people, doing something boring." There is no impact and there will be no impact. It doesn't need to be done any attention. ”

"But—" said Celier, as if he was about to say something, he was not optimistic about the prospects of the war. The human side is clearly prepared. They built forts in shallows where they could wade. Deployment of gunboats in deep water. Arm the army and hire soldiers. It's hard to break through their defenses.

Moreover, even if they tried so hard to break through this line of defense, Tartaria's army, I am afraid, would no longer have the strength to take a step inland into Mazovia. Years of war have severely devastated Tartaria's economy. Especially in the event that a foreign war cannot plunder enough benefits.

In Selilei's view, the war should have actually ended long ago. After the capture of Ruthenia and Pyrm, it was time to end.

Even if they were to go on the offensive, they should attack Novgorod and Kholmgard, which were further north, more cowardly and incompetent. After unifying the entire Slavic world, we will plan again.

And for the attack on the Vistula line, it is really a planless move. Such a reckless attack, in addition to wasting the strength of the khanate, would also reveal the weakness of the khanate, which had defeated hundreds of thousands of crusaders like a decrepit before that, which would make mankind talk about centaurs for a long time.

In this case, Selilet felt that the best option was to use diplomatic blackmail, to use diplomacy to force the human world to admit defeat and pay tribute - of course, in order to avoid the human being from taking chances and thus belittling them. This maneuver needed to be accompanied by a slow advance of the army towards the Vistula line of defenses.

However, this is only a means of intimidation. It should only be the means. And there should be no real attack on the Vistula. Because if the attack on the Vistula line is frustrated, the psychological advantage of the centaurs over humans will be seriously damaged. It's definitely not worth the cost.

“...... Father. So Salilei decided to address Sarida Khan again.

In any case, he wanted Sarida Khan to come to his senses. Recognize your mistakes.

"It doesn't matter. ”

However, before Saylilei could speak, Sarida Khan had already gagged him:

It's just the deathbed wail of a group of doomed losers. It's pointless, and it's not worth caring about - Kublai came, sent the order, ordered the armies to be quiet. If you are walking around, making noise, or spreading rumors...... No mercy!"

In the end, there was a strong killing intent around Sarida Khan's body. This killing intent was so strong that Salilei couldn't speak-

"Yes, Father Khan. On the other side, the Khan's eldest son looked at his brother's frightened and cowardly appearance, and couldn't help but smile smugly. While responding to Sarida Khan's order, he thought in his heart:

"Father Khan, after all, is a steppe man, albeit with a cloak and disguise. But he is still a steppe man after all. The grassland people should act according to the rules of the grassland people. This is the final answer given by the father. So, you lost, my brother. The favor of Father Khan is mine. The place of the future Great Khan of Tartaria is also mine. ”

After this, he stood up, bowed slightly, and took a few steps backwards before turning and walking out of the tent.
