Chapter 685: Madman

As the Cavalry messenger explained the situation on Smirnov's end, Morco's face instantly darkened.

"This useless fool!"

He cursed vehemently, then lifted his eyes to the direction of Mozhili City.

According to the Cavalry's report, the Polish Army that attacked Smirnov numbered at least 15,000, while Mozhili's defending force totaled just over 50,000.

That meant, factoring in casualties, there were now fewer than 30,000 Polish Army members inside the city of Mozhili.

And he had nearly 60,000 troops at his disposal. If he launched a fierce attack on Mozhili, he should be able to take the city quickly.

Yet, he hesitated.

If the Polish Army attacked Kyiv, Chapelev would likely be unable to hold out.

Kyiv was the main logistical and material storage point for his army. Even though he could still receive supplies from Smolensk if he lost it, letting the Poles occupy the Empire's richest city in the west, even for just one day, would be a monumental disgrace to the Empire!
