The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 52: Battle of Smolensk (14)

Two days after   , Cheorchen pretended to be very calm, as if nothing happened. In the evening of the next day, Chechen told Uncle Piedro that he was going to the square to attend the mass held by Father Spaso Kukecki, and that he would come back later.

   In fact, the Mass of Father Spaso Kukecki was held yesterday. For Cheer Chen’s donation of such a large sum of money, Father expressed his most sincere and heartfelt gratitude. The priest also made a wooden cross from a small branch on the spot, entrusted it to Cheer Chen. So, I don’t know if there will be a Mass Cheerchen tonight. But he was not worried about the lie being exposed by his uncle. Firstly, Pidro is not interested in religious activities and will definitely not go in the evening; secondly, a few of Pidro's drinkers made an appointment with him this morning to come to their residence for a drink in the evening.

  Sure enough, Pidro didn't doubt it, he just told Cheerchen to pay attention to safety at night and come back early.

   Tetsuchen nodded earnestly, indicating that he had taken the words of his uncle in his heart. After leaving the house, Cheerchen also deliberately walked towards the square in order to prevent Pidro from being suspicious. After making sure that his uncle could not see him, he turned to the west gate after turning a few turns.

  In a hut under the Western City Wall, other personnel participating in the night attack are doing the final equipment.

They are: the little nobleman Mikhail Yelinsky, Adam Cole, Lukash Pavov, Kosa Christovsky, Rados Zaff; member of the mercenary group Aragorn Second Lieutenant, Private Szczecin, **** and Angel.

Among them, Mihar was a little nobleman from a nearby village. His property was destroyed in the hands of Cossacks, so he had gritted hatred against Cossacks. Although Adam and Lukash were also aristocrats, they both committed crimes later. For a felony worthy of the gallows, the two were originally sentenced to death, but they were saved by the war. In order to be pardoned, the two volunteered to join the death squad. The other two were members of the original city defense army.

Of the four members of the    mercenary group, Aragorn is responsible for commanding this team, while the other three are for the reward of five hundred Taylors.

   Mikhail Yelinsky, with a horse-faced face, picked up a Tatar bow and buckled the bowstring slightly, and the Tatar bow made a dull sound. Mikhail Yelinsky nodded in satisfaction. He arched his back to his body, then took a set of quiver and hung it around his waist.

   Adam Cole and Lukash Pavov also chose the bow as their weapon. Although in this era firearms have replaced bows and arrows as the most lethal individual weapons on the battlefield, there are still many people who are keen to use bows and arrows and despise firearms in relatively backward Poland and Tsarist Russia.

   Kosa Christovsky and Rados Zaff inserted two pistols into their belts. As a melee weapon, one of them took a short sword and the other took a short axe.

The three of the    mercenary group still use the weapons they are used to. One of the special ones is Jessus. He is a giant more than two meters high. He was originally a grenadier in the regiment. This time he prepared a basket of grenades.

   When Tetsuchen entered the house, everyone else was almost ready. Adam Cole sneered when he saw that the last member turned out to be a half-year-old child.

   "Does your mercenary group have no adults?" Adam Cole mocked wantonly.

   Aragorn glared at Adam Cole, and several other mercenaries glared at him. But Adam Cole still had a nonchalant expression.

   Tetsuchen turned a blind eye to Adam Cole's mockery, he took a chain mail from the table and put it on his body. The chain mail is lighter than the half-body plate armor of the mercenary regiment, and the movement restrictions on the limbs are also small, which is very suitable for this kind of sneak attack.

   "Oh, I'm still dumb." Seeing Tetsuchen did not respond, Adam Cole became even more unscrupulous.

   At this time, Tetsuchen had put on his chain mail and inserted a pistol into his waist.

   "Will it be a young child?" Adam Cole smiled irritably and stretched his hand to Cheorchen's chin.

   "Stop it, you scumbag." Seeing Adam Cole's unconsciousness, Aragorn was finally angry.

   But Aragorn was still a step slower, because someone shot faster than him-this person is Chelchen himself. Cheerchen suddenly picked up a pistol on the table and aimed it at Adam Cole's head. At this moment, Adam Cole couldn't laugh, and his hand froze in the air.

   If it were Chechen when he first came to Smolensk, he would never have such courage and aggressiveness. But now, after experiencing so many things and the baptism of war, that naive Cheechen has slowly become mature.

   The loser will be grateful for your forgiveness, and the winner will only laugh at you.

   Tetsuchen doesn't want to be a loser who forgives the victor, he can only retaliate.

   "I've killed two enemies with a pistol on the wall, and killed one with a halberd. How about you? Sir." Tetsuchen said slowly. Disregarding the swords and spears of those desperadoes.

   At this time, the atmosphere of the two parties is already at a dagger. If one cannot handle it well, I am afraid that this team will merge before they leave the city~www.NovelMTL.com~ Some people can ignore death, and such people are called brave. But obviously, Adam Cole is not such a person. He could commit a capital crime in his hometown, because those who died were weaker than himself. He made fun of Cheerchen just to show himself to everyone, because he thought that among them, the youngest Cheerchen was the easiest to bully. But once the sheep turned into a tiger, he, Adam Cole suddenly became dumbfounded. When the pistol was pointed directly at his forehead, Adam Cole's brain was blank, with only the hollow muzzle in his pupils. At the same time, a numbness rushed from his tail to his brain.

   "He didn't dare to shoot, he didn't dare to shoot." Adam Cole couldn't help but cheer for himself, but he found that he couldn't convince himself anyway.

   Tetsuchen's fingers did not move, but Adam Cole imagined that Tetsuchen pulled the trigger and his knees trembled.

   "Me, me." Adam Cole wanted to say, but couldn't say anything.

   "Who is the kid?" Cheerchen asked him.

   "You. No, no, yes, it's me. I'm a kid." Adam Cole changed his words.

   His behavior was even despised by his companions who were on his side.

   "Okay, Cheerchen." Aragorn pressed Cheorchen's pistol and said, "We should go now."

   Then, he turned his head and said to Adam Cole: "I'm sorry, our team doesn't need kids."

   No one sympathizes with the weak. Everyone walked out the door silently. Everyone received a big bag from the guard at the door. There was five kilograms of gunpowder inside, which was used to blow up the tunnel.

   Aragorn took two, one of which was originally Adam Cole’s, now he doesn’t need it anymore.
