After crossing the river, Cherchen immediately sent a messenger to Kiev to inform the arrival of the mission as instructed by Colonel Jan skzedusky.

The candidate he sent was Xie Miao. On the one hand, Xie Miao is loyal and reliable, on the other hand, Xie Miao is an orthodox. Cossacks and Ukrainians mostly believe in the Orthodox Church. Cherchen hopes that Xie Miao\'s advantage can cause less unnecessary trouble than others.

Although a messenger was sent, it was impossible for the mission to stop and wait. Chechen ordered everyone to be vigilant. Even Xiaoxie can\'t go alone, but to go together in groups.

He\'s just afraid of emergencies.

The first night of entering the Cossack emirate passed peacefully. The members of the mission and the guards had a safe sleep, and the sentry on duty did not find any abnormalities all night.

But before everyone celebrated, at the beginning of the next day, Chechen vaguely found that someone was tracking and spying on them.

These stalkers are very cunning. Chechen once led a team of cavalry to raid a suspicious grove, but before they arrived, the people in the book forest had already fled. Except for seeing two long sticks tied to the shoulder blades of cattle, Chechen didn\'t get anything.

Chechen brought back two long sticks tied to the shoulder blades of cattle to the mission. Among them, armored Cossack cavalry who fought in Ukraine told Chechen that this weapon is commonly used by the poor in Ukraine. They may have met a small group of robbers.

But the armored Cossack is optimistic. He believed that these poorly equipped Ukrainian poor were not worried. They could not and could not threaten the mission escorted by 60 armed cavalry.

Although the armored Cossack said so, Chechen was still worried. He told everyone to be vigilant and stay away from the woods if not necessary. What Chechen is most worried about is the cold gun shot from the woods. Because even the worst hand-made firearms will threaten the lives of heavily armed cavalry.

That night, the mission was still camping in the wild, and Chechen sent double sentinels to guard.

At dawn, someone woke up the morning.

"My Lord, wake up, something\'s wrong," the man said hurriedly.

"What\'s the matter?" Chechen immediately woke up from his sleep. He drew the pistol from his waist and took it in his hand.

"In the northeast, many shadows came. There were hundreds of people."

"Is it a Cossack?"

"I don\'t know. I didn\'t see it clearly."

Chechen quickly woke everyone up. He ordered to aim all the carts of the mission at the northeast and form a semi-circular square array. Hessen cavalry was responsible for the guard behind the square array.

"Old man, put this on quickly." Chechen found Stanislaw pototsky and handed the old man a lock armor and a helmet.

The old man took the lock and put on the helmet. He asked, "what\'s the situation, Chechen?"

"It\'s not a big deal, sir. Just sit in the carriage and I\'ll take care of it." Chechen said lightly. Because the situation is unclear, he doesn\'t want the old man to worry too much.

"You are the Deputy envoy of the mission and the captain of the guard. I leave everything to you," Stanislaw pototsky said confidently to Cherchen, and then got on the carriage.

At this time, twenty dragon cavalry were in place in front of the fort composed of carts.

After a while, the footsteps of the gang were clearly audible. When the two sides were still some distance apart, the footsteps heard, and a rude and threatening voice came from the group: "who are you!"

Due to the man\'s heavy Ukrainian accent, Cherchen couldn\'t understand, so he asked the armored Cossack yesterday to answer for himself.

"Who are you?" the armored Cossack asked.

The man over there was obviously impatient: "answer quickly, turtle grandson, or I\'ll let you taste the power of the musket."

Although Chechen was not afraid of these thugs, there was a big man like Stanislaw pototsky in the mission. He asked the armored Cossacks around him to answer according to his words: "we are the envoys sent by the Republic of Poland to Kiev to meet the great chief Bogdan hemelinitsky."

Maybe it was because I was surprised to hear that this was such a distinguished team and was going to see Bogdan hemelinitsky. They stopped shouting, and then a group of people seemed to get together for some kind of consultation.

After a while, one of them spoke. This time, the speaker\'s accent was not so strong, and Chechen understood.

"We are the people of Bogdan hemelinitsky. If you are really a mission, we can escort you to Kiev."

Hearing what the other party said, some dragoons holding carbines breathed a sigh of relief and even their fingers retreated from the trigger.

Chechen kept in mind that Jan skzedusky said, "unless it is a famous zaporoze Cossack from Kiev, other people, even the Cossack leader of the nearby stronghold, should not believe it. Because many of them are murderers and looters. After killing people, they often bury their bodies in the ground without revealing any information to Kiev.", He dared not relax his vigilance and said loudly, "don\'t be so polite. We know the way ourselves."

There was another silence.

Suddenly, one of the gang shouted, "fuck!"

Then there was a dull gunshot.

Obviously, these people feel that their conspiracy has been discovered. They are angry and ready to use force.

"Shoot!" Chechen shot into the darkness and didn\'t know if he hit the target.

Twenty carbines went off. Several screams came from the darkness.

The crowd seemed to retreat.

Because the sky was not completely bright, Chechen dared not let the Hessian cavalry attack, so as not to encounter an ambush. He told the dragoons to step back and reload. Twenty armored Cossacks came forward to draw arrows with a bow.

But the other party was obviously frightened by the strong firepower of the mission, or was blinded by a row of guns just now, and did not attack again for a long time.

At last, the sky was completely bright, and the scene on the battlefield was clearly seen by Chechen.

In front of the cart, about 100 Cossacks were standing with various weapons - sabers, hatchets, two handed axes, hand-made firearms and wooden sticks. They were in close formation and were staring at the mission outside the firing range of the guns.

The people standing in the front were dark and equipped with better equipment. They were not only equipped with some metal armor components, but also had pistols inserted in their waists. They were obviously first-class people with small heads.

"If you don\'t want to get into trouble, get out of the way. The chief\'s welcome will be here soon. If he knows you\'re disrespectful to the messenger, he will cure you. Call your father and mother." Chechen threatened loudly.
