Bardili: First Travelogue LII

1703. Aprilis. - den 28ten - Der König und der Printz setzen über den Bug. - Majus den 1sten - attaquiren Pultausk.  Unterdessen wurde General Steenbock mit einigen Trouppen, um eine Brücke über den Bug zu schlagen, voraus commandirt, welchem aber Ihro Majestät nebst denen Printzen ein Theil der Cavallerie auch einigem Fußvolck, mit Zurucklassung Dero Hoffstaat und Bagage bald nachfolgten. Da gieng es auf ermeldten Strohm Bug loß, woselbsten die Sachsen Mine machten, als ob sie eine Brücke da zu bauen verhindern wollten, die sich jedoch bald eines andern besonnen, nachdem einige Stücke gegen sie aufgepflantzet, und 1500. Mann Infanterie auf Flössen, daselbsten Posto zu fassen, übergesetzt worden, auch der König selbsten mit den Printzen zu Pferd übergeschwommen, und auf sie loß gegangen. Darauf sie sich so gleich zuruck nach Pultausk gezogen. So bald aber die Brücke völlig im Stand war, daß die Cavallerie übergehen konnte, so zoge sich der König gegen ermelte Stadt, worinnen sich die Sachsen sicher genug zu seyn vermeynten, weilen sie auf beyden Seiten Wasser hatte. Gleichwie aber nichts so schwehr seyn kan, welches der König in dergleichen Fall nicht zu überwinden hätte trachten sollen, also versuchte Er aller Orthen, wo etwa eine Fuhrt möchte zu finden seyn, welches aber den Feind wegen der Tieffe des Stroms nicht anfochte. Sie betrogen sich aber in ihrer Hoffnung gar sehr, massen der König durch seinen und der Seinigen unermüdeten Fleiß endlich bey einer Mühle den Strom also beschaffen fand, daß man, jedoch nicht ohne ein wenig zu schwimmen, überkommen konte. Er war selbst nebst den Printzen unter denen ersten die durchschwammen, und hatte auch an dem Corps der Cavallerie, das er bey sich hatte, getreue Nachfolger, welche alle glücklich biß auf einen, der ersoff, überkamen.

1703. Aprilis. - 28th - The King and the Prince cross over the Bug. - Majus 1st - attack Pułtusk.

Meanwhile General Steenbock was commanded ahead with some troops to throw a bridge over the Bug, whom however His Majesty next to those Princes, part of the cavalry as well as some foot soldiers leaving behind His Court and baggage soon followed. There a go was had at the mentioned Bug stream, whereat the Saxons made as if they wanted to prevent a bridge being built there, who however soon changed their minds, after some guns were planted against them, and 1500. men infantry were ferried over on rafts to take position there themselves, as well the King swam across with the Princes on horse, and went at them. Thereon they withdrew immediately to Pultausk. But as soon as the bridge was fully prepared, that the cavalry could cross, the King marched against the mentioned city, wherein the Saxons supposed themselves to be safe enough, since they had water on both sides. But just as nothing could be so difficult, which the King in such a case would not have strived to overcome, like that He tried to find in all places, where perhaps a ford might be found, which the enemy did not dispute because of the depth of the stream. They very much deluded themselves in this hope however, as by the means of his and his Own’s tireless diligence the King finally found the stream at a mill so designed, that one, but not without swimming a bit, could cross over. He was next to the Princes among the first which swam through, and had in the corps of the cavalry, that he had with him, faithful followers, which all crossed fortunately except for one, who drowned.

“IT’S BEEN A LONG FIVE YEARS...”

This afternoon’s brand new trailer reveal for Jedi Survivor was just under 2 minutes of footage of Cal and his crew's increasingly desperate fight against the Empire, and in turn, the galaxy’s descent further into darkness. Short version? It was impressive. Most impressive.

It’s actually only been a couple of months since my platinum trophy run on Jedi Fallen Order, and yet it feels like I’ve been waiting forever for this sequel!

The familiarly friendly faces of Merrin, Cere and Greez all make appearances that hit those sentimental notes perfectly for fans. I found myself just shouting “MERRIN!” when she popped up. I’m feeling a little excitable today.

Has Cal found somewhere where the Empire finally can’t reach? A place that’s worth fighting for, no matter the cost? Find out on 28th April when Star Wars Jedi Survivor hits your consoles!

Pre-order either the Standard and/or Deluxe Editions with us and you’ll EARN AN EXTRA £10 REWARDS POINTS at dispatch! *Limited time offer*...

May the force be with you.
