Chapter 141: The Return of the Cossack Mercenaries
As soon as Clayman reached the bottom of the hillside, he was discovered by several cavalrymen. These cavalrymen quickly rushed towards Clayman. When Clayman saw several cavalrymen rushing towards him, he was frightened to death. He quickly
He ran towards the distance, but how could a person's foot strength be faster than a horse? Not long after running, he was surrounded by these cavalry in the center.
When Clayman saw this, he didn't run away. Clayman sat on the ground naked and breathed heavily. However, several cavalrymen were surprised to see Clayman so bachelor.
, after they were stunned for a while, a cavalryman rode forward and waved his hand, giving Clayman a whip.
After seeing Clayman scream when he was whipped with a whip, the cavalrymen laughed loudly. Then, as if in a competition, several cavalrymen rushed to beat Clayman. They seemed to have beaten Clayman.
Treat it as a toy.
Kleiman was whipped and lay on the ground rolling around. In the chaos, he saw these cavalrymen dressed as Cossacks and quickly shouted in Russian:
"I am an ally of the Russian Empire and I will accuse your behavior to Her Majesty the Queen."
Hearing that the Russian Empress was mentioned in Kleiman's words, several Cossacks immediately looked at each other. Seeing that these Cossacks seemed to hesitate, Kleiman quickly continued to shout:
"My name is Clayman, and my father is Morak. Who is your leader? Take me to him quickly."
Hearing the mention of Morak in Clayman's words, the Cossacks were even more surprised. After their eyes met, the Cossacks did not answer Clayman's words.
Man mentioned his horse, and then several cavalrymen galloped away in the distance like a gust of wind.
It has to be said that Kleiman's luck was really bad. The Cossacks he met were Cossack mercenaries belonging to Plivsky.
Although Henry left 3,000 troops to guard the road from Bialystok to Königsberg, the infantry could not keep up with the cavalry. Shortly after being trapped in Bialystok, Pulves
There was a shortage of food in Ji's army. Generally speaking, a larger town can certainly supply two or three thousand cavalry, but Pliski's army is all cavalry. In addition to people, there are also horses that need to be fed.
.
War horses cannot just eat grass. If they only eat grass, the horse will not gain weight. How can such a horse perform on the battlefield?
So Plivsky left more than a thousand Cossacks to guard Bialystok. The other Cossack cavalry were divided into small units and went around to plunder food and grass. In response to Plivsky's behavior, the guards were
There is no way to stop the three thousand Prussian troops in the town not far away. If the Prussian troops send troops, Pliski will definitely give them a good look in the wild. In the wild, the cavalry has a natural advantage over the infantry.
The few Cossacks who found Kleiman were a small group that went out to look for food and grass today. They had already penetrated deep behind the Prussian defense line.
As the Cossack cavalry hired by Morak, how could they not know Morak's name, so these Cossacks decided to take Clayman with them. If what Clayman said was true, they would have done a great job.
It doesn't matter to them if Lyman lies, because he can also use it for fun.
Kleiman felt like he was about to fall apart due to the bumps on the horse. Of course, Kleiman was also a skilled equestrian, but he had never been placed on the back of a horse. Usually, he had more flesh on his butt when riding a horse, so he felt
The bumps will also be weakened. Now it is directly on the stomach. Kleiman feels that his stomach is already surging. Kleiman shut his mouth tightly. He is afraid that he will vomit if he feels uncomfortable, which will be embarrassing.
Big hair.
After jolting for an unknown amount of time, Kleiman felt that all the bones in his body were about to melt away. The horse suddenly stopped, and then he was thrown directly from the horse to the ground. The sudden impact made Kleiman unable to bear it any longer.
Unable to hold on any longer, he felt such severe vomiting that he lay on the ground and vomited.
Not only did the Cossacks not dislike the embarrassing appearance of Clayman vomiting, but they laughed loudly for fun, and then Clayman felt like he was being picked up in a daze.
After being unconscious for an unknown amount of time, Clayman woke up slowly. When he struggled to get up, he saw that he was in a tent. There was another person in the tent, and that person was in a daze.
Look at yourself.
Kleinman was startled by this man's eyes. When he saw Clayman, he trembled. The man first smiled apologetically, and then said:
"I'm Plivsky. You must have heard of my name. I heard from my subordinates that you claimed to be Morak's son. Do you have any evidence?"
When he heard that the person in front of him claimed to be Pliski, Kleiman did not answer his question, but looked at him steadily. The look in his eyes was very complicated, there was hatred or something else, never mind
After Lark's attendant learned what had happened, how could Kleinman not know that Pliski was the indirect murderer of his father's death, and the main accomplice who had brought him to this point?
"I think you should hate me more now, but you should consider your current situation. Besides, you and I both have a common enemy."
When Plivsky saw the hatred in Kleiman's eyes, he knew that he had found the wrong person. The news of Morak's death spread throughout East Prussia, and as a member of the incident, Plivsky thought about it carefully.
Skidou understands what role he plays in it.
"Well, hello, Mr. Pliski, I am Kleinman. Although I don't know how you appeared in front of me, I would like to ask you to send me to Poland."
Kleiman took a deep breath, hid the hatred in his heart and asked Pliski naturally.
Upon hearing Kleiman's request, Plivsky did not answer, but looked at Kleiman with a half-smile. Just when Kleiman was about to become impatient, he heard Plivsky say:
"Nothing like it, not at all, Mr. Kleinman, you are nothing like your father."
"You still have the nerve to mention my father. If it weren't for you, would my father die? We spent so much money to hire you, are we just asking you to help the enemy suppress us?"
Hearing Plivsky's seemingly ridiculing words, Kleiman's anger was finally aroused in his heart, and he yelled at Plivsky loudly.
"But now your father is dead, and looking at you now, your career must have been ruined. Besides, I wasn't the one who killed your father. I was just calculated by others at most."
Plivski was not angry because of Kleiman's words. He still looked at Kleiman calmly and said. Seeing Plivski who was so calm, Kleiman didn't know what to say anymore.
"Okay, Mr. Kleiman, are you willing to leave East Prussia in despair and become a loser? Are you willing to let your father die in vain?"
Seeing Kleiman calm down, Pliski opened his mouth to persuade.
Hearing Plivsky's words, the expression on Kleiman's face fluctuated a little, but then he said dejectedly:
"So what if I don't want to. My army has been wiped out, and Königsberg has been occupied by those demons. If I don't want to, what can I do?"
Seeing Kleiman's expression saying such reluctant words, Pliski smiled and said:
"Sir Clayman, you don't need to be discouraged at all, and you still have an army that has not been wiped out."
Hearing Pliski mention that he still had an army that had not been wiped out, Kleinman looked at him in surprise, wondering where there was an army of his own.
"Sir Clayman, when your father hired us, he paid a year's employment fee in advance. That means that if you are willing, our Cossack cavalry will still belong to your army."
Well, as soon as Plivski finished speaking, Kleiman felt that his heart seemed to beat violently for a few times, and then Kleiman said slowly:
"Your Excellency, you mean that these Cossack cavalry are my mercenaries?"
"Of course, as long as you can pay enough money, then this army will always belong to you, my leader"
With that said, Pliski saluted Kleiman, and Kleiman was completely stunned by this surprise. The feeling of surviving from a desperate situation made him completely unable to control himself.
Looking at the ecstatic Kleiman in front of him, Pliski's heart was filled with contempt. If he hadn't been helpless, he would have kidnapped Kleiman in front of him and taken him to the Prussians to receive the reward.
However, because of the atrocities committed by the Cossacks in Bialystok, the Prussians would not accept their kindness at all. Pliski once sent people to express friendship to the Prussian garrison not far away, but was ignored by the Prussian army there.
They refused without hesitation, and they declared that they would annihilate these Cossack mercenaries to avenge the Prussian ghosts who died under the Cossack sword.
Moreover, the recent shortage of food in the army has been bothering Plivsky. If this continues, he will be consumed to death, so Plivsky has been thinking about the way out for the Cossack mercenaries, but he has always been thinking about it.
Didn't think of a good solution.
Kleiman's arrival today is undoubtedly a boon to Plivsky. Through Kleiman, Plivsky can not only use his huge reputation to get some assistance, but also strengthen the relationship with the Russians.
Relationships, these are the reasons why Pliski is willing to help Kleiman.
Later, Kleiman and Plivsky started to communicate about the situation in Königsberg and what happened before and after.
