October 7, 1747. otbnkotgt After more than three days of intense construction, the Tartariya army built seven pontoon bridges on the Vistula River.
These pontoons look very sturdy and very spacious.
The Tartarians cut no corners at all.
They started construction at about the same time and were completed at the same time.
In terms of number, it was twice as many as the three or four that William had originally expected.
From this point, we can also see Salida Khan's attitude towards this war.
After the pontoon bridge was completed, William noticed that the Tartarians began to reduce their beachhead artillery group.
A large number of light infantry guns were pushed back.
The other party seemed to want to transport these artillery pieces along the pontoon bridge to the other side to participate in the subsequent attack and defense of the fortress.
"Artillery, pontoons, and then a large number of cannon fodder troops equipped with cold weapons.
Salida Khan has concentrated all the elements to attack the enemy.
I just don't know what the effect will be."
William murmured like this.
Then he left the city again.
Go back to your room and rest.
After observing the opponent's position for a while, he went back to his room to rest.
This kind of schedule has become William's daily routine.
However, of course, such a relatively ordinary daily life will change after one day.
"Have a meeting, summon all the officers.
Go to the combat conference room."
After leaving the city, William suddenly said this to the officer on duty.
"Immediately, immediately" and then added.
So, fifteen minutes later, in the combat conference room of the fortress, William, the mercenary commander he hired, and the officers of his direct Circassian New Army gathered together.
The officers in charge of various parts of the fortress introduced the current situation to the top commander of the fortress, William, in an orderly and somewhat routine manner.
"The artillery has been fully debugged.
The shells and gunpowder are also ready."
"The new troops and mercenary troops defending each section of the wall and fort are also ready."
"Wartime bonuses and special allowances have been distributed.
Pre-war mobilization has been issued, and at the same time, the last wave of messengers have also left."
"There are no problems in all the warehouses of the fortress.
The storage method is used and waterproofing and fireproofing are done.
There is no need to worry about being affected by war or being damaged by spies."
"There are sufficient supplies in the fortress.
Whether it is food, military uniforms, cloth, or weapons and equipment, they are enough to last for more than a year."
"The new army and mercenary troops are ready for battle.
Commander, please give the order."
One by one, the officers reported on the work they were responsible for.
After this, Little John, as the representative, said the last words.
After that, William was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Everyone, tomorrow, the war that starts tomorrow will determine the future destiny of the human world.
History will remember this moment.
Those who participate in this war.
Hold on to this fortress People.
I, all of you here, and the soldiers under our command will be called heroes after this."
After saying this in a deep voice and in a narrative tone, William stood up: "Except for the officers on duty, all of you will go to rest tomorrow.
I want you to face this war with the most abundant experience and let those who Beasts with limbs and hooves, let’s see how powerful humans are.”

As William's words fell, the other officers stood up in unison.
They roared at the loudest volume.
After hearing such sounds, the soldiers stationed throughout the fortress, on the walls, in the forts, and in the barracks also came out, raised their heads, and raised their hands.
The muskets, spears, swords and battle axes in their hands roared in response.
The river mouth fortress boiled in an instant and the sound penetrated the clouds, shaking away all the animals around the fortress except humans.
At the same time, this roar naturally alarmed Salida Khan and the Tartariya army under his command.
"Father" was in the golden tent, next to Salida Khan.
His favorite youngest son, Selile, became a little uneasy after hearing this voice.
On the other side, his most valued eldest son Kublai also stopped drinking.
He pressed the wine glass on the table and subconsciously held the handle of his knife.
"Nothing."
Salida Khan returned to normal after being in a daze for a while.
He looked at his two nervous and restless sons and comforted him with this reply: "It's just a group of boring people doing some boring things.
It has no impact and will not have any impact.
It doesn't require any attention."
"But" Selilei seemed to want to say something else.
He was not optimistic about the prospects of this war.
Human beings are clearly fully prepared.
They built forts in fordable fords.
Deploy gunboats in deep waters.
Arm an army and hire soldiers.
It is extremely difficult to break through their defenses.
Moreover, even if they go through all the trouble to break through this line of defense, Tartariya's army may no longer have the strength to advance further into the interior of Mazovia.
Several years of war severely devastated Tartaria's economy.
Especially when foreign wars cannot plunder enough benefits.
In Selire's view, the war should have ended long ago.
After the capture of Ruthenia and Perm, it was time to end.
Even if they want to attack next, they should attack Novgorod and Holmgard further north, which are more cowardly and incompetent.
After unifying the entire Slavi world, we can then make plans.
As for the attack on the Vistula defense line, it was really a futile move.
Such a reckless attack will not only waste the strength of the Khanate, but also expose the weakness of the Khanate.
Before this, the Khanate defeated hundreds of thousands of Crusaders like a ragtag force.
This will last for a long time. , making human beings become pale when talking about centaurs.
Selilei feels that in this case, the best choice is to use diplomatic blackmail and use diplomatic means to force the human world to admit failure and pay tribute.
Of course, in order to prevent humans from taking chances and looking down on them. .
This action needs to be coordinated with the slow advance of the army towards the Vistula defense line.
But this is just an intimidation tactic.
It should only be a means.
Rather than actually attacking the Vistula River.
Because once the attack on the Vistula defense line is frustrated, the centaurs' psychological advantage over humans will be seriously damaged.
This is definitely not worth the loss.
"Father."
So Selile decided to speak to Salida Khan again.
No matter what, he wanted Sarida Khan to wake up.
Recognize your mistakes.

"It doesn't matter."
However, before Selilei could speak, Salida Khan had already blocked his mouth: "It's just the dying cry of a group of losers who are destined to fail.
It's meaningless and not worth paying attention to.
Kublai came and sent an order to order the troops to be silent.
Anyone who walks around, makes noise, or spreads rumors will be killed without mercy. " At the end of the sentence, Sarida Khan's whole body was filled with a strong murderous intention.
This murderous intention was so strong that Selilei was speechless.
"Yes, Father Khan."
On the other side, the eldest son of the Khan couldn't help but smile proudly when he looked at his brother's fearful and cowardly look.
While responding to Sarida Khan's order, he thought in his heart: "In the final analysis, Father Khan is a prairie man.
Even though he puts on a coat and disguises himself, he is still a prairie man in the final analysis.
Prairie people must act according to the rules of prairie people.
This is the final answer given by my father.
So, you lose, my brother.
The favor of the father is mine, and the position of the future Great Khan of Tartariya is also mine."
After that, he stood up, bowed slightly, took a few steps backward, then turned around and walked out of the tent. 160420oshow7:
