Obviously when doing this, all the Russian spies in the Kazakh Fort understood that burning the Polish granaries and the eager Poles would not let them go, but this is currently the best way to solve this situation of neither up nor down.
Good method.
After a fierce exchange of fire, the Polish reinforcements finally arrived at the location of the granary. However, faced with the raging fire, the Poles had no good solution. Milian personally took people to get water from the well near the granary, but for the burning
It's just a drop in the bucket compared to the raging fire.
Seeing that the granary was burned to the ground, Mirian was about to cry, and at this moment Jewski also arrived at the scene.
"What's going on? Why did the granary catch fire?"
Facing the angry Jewski, the Polish officers around him could not give a reasonable explanation at all. They all lowered their heads like flamingos, and Dunker, who was in charge of the guard near the granary tonight, wanted to crawl into the ground.
seam.
"Durk, please give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I won't mind letting you go to hell!"
Seeing that no one around him answered him, Jewski became even more angry and pointed the finger at Dunker
"Your Excellency, these Russians acted too suddenly. Before the Polish soldiers guarding them noticed, the Russians had already sneaked into the granary and lit the fire. Moreover, they were so numerous..."
"Don't give me nonsense, come here, arrest Dunerke. After the matter is settled, I will deal with you slowly."
With that said, Jewski asked the soldiers to arrest Dunrk, not to mention that Dunrk screamed that he was wronged. Looking at the granary that was out of control, Jewski felt infinite desolation in his heart.
After daybreak, the fire was finally brought under control. The granary where the grain was originally stored was reduced to ruins. Standing on the ruins, Jewski was crying without tears.
"Your Excellency, Chief, I think we are in big trouble this time."
Mirian came to Jewski's side and said quietly, and when he saw the expression on Jewski's face, he continued:
"We rescued a batch of food and also stored some food in the military camp, but the quantity is not very large. It is estimated that it can only be consumed by us for three days at most."
Jewski was finally moved
"Three days. Only three days..."
"Your Majesty, Chief, I think we have to find a way."
Hearing Mirian's words, Jewski frowned and left the scene without saying a word.
After Jewski returned to his room, he retracted himself into the chair. Jewski just sat there with his eyes blank. After a while, Jewski left the chair.
Without saying a word, he ran to the city wall and looked into the distance.
"Breakout"
Jewski said to Mirian who came after hearing the news. Jewski's words suddenly made Mirian feel nervous.
"But....."
"No, the food in the city can't last long now. Instead of surviving and starving to death, it's better to find a way for everyone to survive. Although the breakout may fail, and even if it succeeds, not many people can escape, but it is better than waiting in the city.
A good death"
Before Mirian could finish speaking, Jewski interrupted.
The two stood in silence on the city wall. Later that day, the news that Jewski was preparing to break out spread throughout the city, and along with this news was that the food supply that night was unlimited, that is,
You can eat as much as you like, of course this is only for the defenders. This is like the last meal before a death row prisoner.
After the defenders received the news, no chaos broke out. Everyone just numbly ate food to fill their stomachs and then rested. They knew that tomorrow might be their last day.
Early the next morning, the garrison soldiers walked out of the military camp early. They gathered in the west of Kazakh Fort City. After a while, Jewski led a group of officers to the west of the city.
"Soldiers, everyone knows the situation. We have only one way to survive now, which is to go west to Warsaw. I won't say much else. I wish you all good luck. See you in Warsaw."
As soon as Jewski finished speaking, the west gate of the Kazakh Fort was opened.
Although it was a breakout, they could not swarm in disarray. Under the command of their officers, the Polish soldiers formed a combat formation and slowly headed out of the city.
Yesterday's fire naturally could not satisfy the Russians. Potemkin and others celebrated after seeing the fire igniting in the city. The order to burn down the granary of Kazakh Fort came from Potemkin's mouth. He naturally wanted to
Force the Poles to come out and avenge their shame.
So just last night, Potemkin dispatched troops to the west of Kazakhstan to set up defenses. Although some people persuaded Potemkin to make way for Jewski and others to return to Warsaw, Potemkin believed that Jewski and others could return to Warsaw.
Key's army was already at the end of its strength. If it were allowed to return to the tortoise shell in Warsaw, God knows what would happen, so Potemkin insisted on a decisive battle with Jewski outside the Kazakh Castle.
The Polish troops filing out quickly arrived in front of the Russian defense line. Groups of Russian soldiers stared attentively at the Polish soldiers on the opposite side. Everyone knew that the anxiety between the two sides for more than a month would be broken today, and the victory or defeat would be decided.
Decide today.
Jewski sat on the horse and slowly raised his saber. All the Polish soldiers cast their eyes on Jewski, which also made Jewski feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
"attack!"
Jewski swung his saber forward fiercely and shouted
At his command, the Polish army began to move forward faster, and soon both sides were within shooting range.
"Bang...bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang"
The sound of gunfire was accompanied by the loss of life, but this time the Polish army had no fear or fear. The fall of each comrade did not waver the other Polish soldiers at all. Everyone knew that they had no way to retreat.
However, under the overwhelming strength of the Russian army, the Poles could not resist it. Although every Polish soldier fought bravely, some even hugged the enemy before dying, hoping to die together, but their strength was not enough.
catch.
At this moment, another large crowd emerged from Kazakh Fort. These crowds were the refugees previously accommodated by Jewski. These refugees greatly eased the unfavorable situation of the Polish army.
These crowds disrupted the formation of the Russian army. Although these Polish refugees were just trying to survive and had no intention of helping Jewski, their actions also gave Jewski a glimmer of hope.
The Russian defense line closest to Jewski had a gap due to the impact of Polish refugees. Although the Russian army worked hard to fill this gap, there were so many Polish refugees that they were killed.
There was no way to kill them all, and these refugees only knew how to rush aimlessly on the battlefield. Often a large group of refugees suddenly poured into unexpected places, which would often catch the Russian army by surprise.
Jewski did not miss this good opportunity. He immediately ordered the more than 2,000 troops under his command to break through the gap immediately.
"Kulichkov, lead your men to fill that gap immediately. No matter who is in the way of our army's progress, we will shoot to death."
"yes"
Upon Potemkin's order, Kulichkov immediately rushed to the gap with more than 3,000 Russian soldiers. At this time, Jewski was troubled by the refugees. Although those refugees helped the Polish army open the gap, they
For some unknown reason, they fled back and soon overran the formation of the Polish army.
Just when Yevitsky jumped in panic, the army led by Kulichkov blocked the gap in time. The best chance of escape had been wasted, and there was no hope for the rest.
"Kill the thief! Long live Poland..."
Jewski died. He died under the siege of five Russian troops, and his guard captain Mirian had already left one step ahead of him. The cry before his death seemed so desolate. As a soldier,
The Poles, Jewski deserve this country more than anyone else, but in bad luck, the hero can do nothing.
Ten thousand Polish soldiers were stained with blood on the battlefield. After the war, the Russian army took almost no prisoners. Those Polish soldiers often perished with the enemy before dying. Potemkin saw all this.
"Bury them all. Although these Poles were despised by me before and were enemies of the empire, at least now their performance is worthy of the title of warriors."
Potemkin looked at the battlefield littered with dead bodies and sighed.
After annihilating Jevsky's troops, Potemkin did not enter the Kazakh Fort. He only asked Kahnpopov to enter the Kazakh Fort with a group of auxiliary troops to maintain public security and announce the change of ownership of the Kazakh Fort.
After a day of rest, Potemkin finally reached his fateful moment, which was to march into Warsaw.
God has been very beautiful these days. Although it is winter, compared to the previous period, the temperature has not dropped but has risen slightly in the past few days, and the sun has rarely shown its face to everyone.
Taking advantage of the month that Jewski spent his life delaying, August dispatched more than 10,000 troops from the remaining areas of his rule to defend Warsaw, but the situation in Warsaw was still not optimistic.
The news that the Russian army was approaching Warsaw was sent back as soon as possible. When August received the news, his face changed drastically. Although he knew that the Russian army would come sooner or later, Jewski's command was
The isolated city simply couldn't resist forever, but when the Russian army really came, August couldn't help but panic.
The failure of personally commanding the army to fight the Russian army cast a shadow over August's heart when he faced the Russians again.
Just when August was thinking about how to deal with the upcoming Russian attack, his palace steward ran to August in a panic and told him the unfortunate news:
