The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 633
Stanislaw pototsky sent the armored Cossacks and polish dragon cavalry who had originally protected himself to rescue Cherchen. There were only 10 armored Cossacks around him, all of which were seen by a pair of eyes hidden on the left-wing mountain bag.
Commander Ivan mahra, a middle-ranking officer of zaporoze Cossacks. Once, before Bogdan hemelinitsky rebelled against the Republic, he was a registered Cossack under Stefan pototsky, the supreme governor of the Republic in Kiev.
At the beginning of the khmelinitsky uprising, Stefan pototsky and another commander, marchin kalinovsky, led an army of more than 3000 people towards Sheqi, trying to suppress the uprising in its infancy. Among them were 1500 registered Cossacks, including Ivan machra, as well as Chechen and Pedro, the head of Franco, the hometown who died in Smolensk.
On April 28, 1648, Stefan pototsky, who did not know that all the German mercenaries advancing along the Yellow River were destroyed, met zaporoze Cossacks and Tatars in the Yellow River area. Tatars took the lead, but were repulsed by Polish dragoons and winged cavalry. The situation is developing in favour of the Polish side. But just then, Ivan mahra led his Cossacks to launch a rebellion. After killing Polish officers, he joined hemelinitsky\'s side. Ivan mahra\'s rebellion was like the first domino that fell. The Cossacks serving under Stefan pototsky and marchin kalinovsky rebelled one after another. Finally, the only remaining Polish army was defeated. Stefan pototsky was wounded and captured. He died of wound infection within a few days.
Unlike hemelinitsky for revenge and Baohong for women, commander Ivan mahra\'s reason for rebellion is very simple. He is for more money and greater power. At the beginning, he did as he wished. Bogdan hemelinitsky didn\'t treat him badly, and gave him the power to command a thousand troops and pavoloch, but Ivan mahra didn\'t have the same military talent as Bao Hong or hilko. Soon, he showed his timidity in the battle with yarimi\'s army - Ivan mahra\'s men and horses were destroyed by yarimi.
If that\'s the case, Ivan mahra may have a chance to make a comeback. After all, at that time, there were not one or two Cossack armies crippled by yarimi. However, what Bogdan hemelinitsky could not tolerate was that Ivan mahra left his subordinates and ran away alone. Ivan mahra, who escaped from death, was ordered to be locked next to a cannon by Bogdan hemelinitsky. Originally, Bogdan hemelinitsky wanted to lock him to death, but Ivan mahra was pardoned at the plea of the Cossack leaders.
Although Bogdan hemelinitsky did not deprive him of pavoloch, he demoted him to company commander.
In the years that followed, Ivan mahra was never promoted.
Ivan mahra, who knew he had no future in Cossacks, once considered returning to the Republic of Poland, and he also wrote a secret letter. But his crime of betraying Stefan pototsky was so great that no one in the Republic of Poland was willing to accept his surrender. As a result, Ivan mahra began to abandon himself and madly attacked the villages around zbalari. He is not only to collect money, but also to get the pleasure of abuse from the process of slaughtering the weak.
This time, Ivan mahra watched the carriage of the mission from the moment the mission entered zballah. Ivan mahra judged that great men like Stanislaw pototsky must have carried valuables. He became greedy and wanted to take the property as his own.
The frustration of his official career has long made Ivan mahra see nothing but money. He will not care what kind of uproar will be caused between the Republic of Poland and the Kazakh emirate after the robbery of the mission, and what kind of disaster will be caused to the people of the two countries.
"You owe me all this," Ivan mahra thought, "if it weren\'t for me, how could hemelinitsky win so easily? But what did I get? There\'s only one pavoloch! I\'m robbing the Polish mission now, only taking what I deserve."
So commander Ivan mahra assembled all his men. He forged the order of Bogdan hemelinitsky to attack the mission and led his subordinates to prepare to attack Chechen and Stanislaw pototsky who entered the territory of the Kazakh emirate.
As a veteran Cossack, Ivan mahra decided early to use a small number of troops as the main force to attract the attention of the mission in the front, and then the large forces encircled the two wings. Unexpectedly, the combat effectiveness of the mission\'s guard was so strong that only one exchange of fire made the front feint troops suffer heavy casualties and almost collapse. At this time, the troops with circuitous wings are not even in place.
As a last resort, he had to ride back from the left wing and brought back a gun. Ivan mahra personally inspired the newly defeated subordinates and promised to reward 20 tales each after the success.
Under the inducement of heavy money, these people finally recovered their morale, and the arrival of artillery gave them the courage to launch a second attack.
With the help of artillery, this attack was obviously better than the last one. Even one shot led out the cavalry defending the enemy\'s back.
But then there was another accident. When the Cossacks in ambush on the right saw the enemy\'s cavalry jumping out, they rushed out from behind the mountain bag without waiting for their orders, trying to stop the cavalry. The left-wing Cossacks under their command were also ready to move and shouted to attack immediately. Thanks to their own whip, they barely bounced down.
The pig like subordinates annoyed company commander Ivan mahra. But it\'s a blessing in disguise. With the exposure of the right wing and the breakthrough of the front, the Polish mission in front of him even pressed almost all the troops up (actually to save Cherchen).
In this way, Ivan mahra finally waited for the best opportunity to attack.
"Cossack brothers!" commander Ivan mahla mounted his horse and shouted to his 130 Cossacks, "meet the enemy for Ukraine and Bogdan hemelinitsky!"
The Cossacks could not contain themselves. At this time, they heard the commander\'s order to attack. They gave a passionate cry, then jumped out from behind the mountain bag and rushed to the Polish mission with less than 30 people left.
