Chapter 3 The Leading Party in Poland(1/2)
() Little Siegmund's words caused a burst of jeers from the accompanying cavalry.
"Shut up! A country bumpkin like you is worthy enough to insult Rome!"
One of the guards finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the thirty or so people on our side were completely separated from the more than four hundred Siegmund family cavalry because of this scolding.
Little Siegmund's expression was very surprised, and a little bit incredulous. I think he didn't understand how we, the lame Romans, dared not to give him face, considering that they were the local gangsters here.
I stopped my horse between little Siegmund and the guards who were at war with each other, and remained silent for a long time.
"Hand over that person and come over and apologize. Otherwise, don't blame us for not having a discussion!" Little Siegmund's attitude was very arrogant.
“What makes you think that the Roman army will hand over a Roman soldier, what makes you think that the Roman army will hand over Roman women, and finally, what makes you think that the Roman army will hand over the land that belongs to Rome?
"
At this time, I felt a slight vibration on the ground.
"Are we not strong enough?"
"Or are you too stupid?"
"Or maybe we're not cruel enough?"
When the guards heard my threatening words, they all pulled out their flintlock pistols and looked around coldly.
"Only you?! Dare you threaten me?" Little Siegmund laughed angrily.
"Yes, it's up to us."
A long bugle sounded from the distance, and the imperial cavalry was coming.
There were bursts of hoofbeats and billowing smoke. Under the sun, the fluttering imperial eagle flag fluttered in the wind. The cavalry poured out from the left side behind us like water. And on the side directly behind us, my cuirassier battalion Atalan
Di also appeared. Under the raised cavalry battalion eagle flag, the shining cavalry breastplates shone with dazzling light, one row, two rows, three rows...
The eagle flag pointed forward, and the tall horses marched neatly, making a sound like waves crashing on the shore, and rolled forward, swallowing every piece of land under their feet.
Little Sigismund looked at him wildly, and I teased: "How dare you say these words to a Russian even once."
On one side of Little Siegmund's group of cavalry, another group of cavalry whose number was not inferior to theirs was moving, blocking their retreat. The ragtag group of people panicked and looked at Little Siegmund again. This guy
He looked straight at the cavalry that kept pouring out, and his face was very ugly.
"You short sissies are nothing compared to the ferocious Russians' terrifying army! Only we can fight the Russians!"
I smiled coldly and said, "It seems you don't dare. Listen, it doesn't matter who the owner of this land was in the past, but from now on, this is Roman territory."
"Your land? Huh, this is the territory of our Siegmund family! Our Siegmund family has already established a foothold here before you Romans set foot here!"
"That is to say, the Siegmund family does not recognize this as Roman territory."
"That's right, what can you do!"
Little Siegmund's attitude remained unchanged, but even if his attitude changed, it would not make me change my mind.
I put my hands behind my back and signaled to the cavalry behind me to prepare to fire. I shrugged: "Nothing, we will only do one more thing...raze Siegmund's house, so that this place will become Roman territory."
I pulled out my flintlock pistol and raised my hand. I only caught an incredible moment flashing through little Siegmund's eyes. I pulled the trigger. A bloody hole was blasted out of the head of this Ukrainian aristocrat who had been talking shamelessly from beginning to end. He
The horse was frightened and ran away with little Siegmund whose head was shot. I looked at the dumbfounded cavalry.
There was gunfire behind them, and the group of cavalry dismounted one after another, and the frightened horses scattered in all directions.
"kill!!!"
Among the three options of turning around and running away, staying still or facing the unprepared group of horse thieves who rushed forward, I chose the latter. I had no way out. Giving in would give these horse thieves the courage to fight, while not moving would
Block the charge of the cuirassiers behind us. Only by launching a charge can our blow shock the enemy and completely destroy their morale!
Pulling out the saber, the sharp blade gleamed in the light.
A distance of more than thirty meters is enough for us to drive the horses to charge!
The guards behind me also raised their sabers, and I felt their anger!
The anger of being insulted filled these Romans, who had grown up in the Roman Empire since childhood, with anger!
"Long live Rome!!!"
There was no time to think about it, and in the blink of an eye, we rushed to the opposite side.
The group of more than 400 cavalrymen that Siegmund had used as a condition of negotiation were leaderless at this time. Seeing that more than 30 of us actually launched a charge with a very small number of people, they immediately chose to avoid it instead of blocking it.
There were a few of us blocking the road who were so shocked that they could barely move. We just cut their heads to the ground with a single blow.
In just a moment, the depth of more than 400 cavalrymen was cut open like tissue paper. We were lucky enough to get out without any damage.
At this time, the first Chasseurs to appear had already circled around from the right.
"Turn!" After running hundreds of meters, we reversed the team's momentum and pointed our sabers at the enemy's back again.
The group of hunting cavalry quickly blocked our way. I saw these guys lifting their carbines from a distance of more than fifty meters, putting them on their arms, and moving towards the motionless Siegmund family cavalry.
slap.
The old scumbag has implemented the reform of the cavalry very well. In the past, these chasseurs would have swarmed in. Now, shooting at the enemy first can not only frighten the enemy, but also loosen the enemy's density for the cuirassiers who are about to charge.
formation.
There was a loud sound of gunfire, and not many people fell off their horses, but these people were even more scattered. Groups of ten or twenty people tried to escape on horseback. Some people shouted that they wanted to go back and fight to the death, and some people went to kill the hunting cavalry. They were doing their own thing in this way.
During the battle, the cuirassiers launched a charge.
Unlike the hasty charge launched by me and my escorts, the Atalandi Cavalry Battalion was more or less prepared and had enough distance to make adjustments.
There are four rows in total, with ninety people in each row, and there is a distance of forty meters between the two rows. From the horses running in small steps to speeding up, to the overwhelming sound of thousands of horse hooves, all this happened from the moment we charged to the time we turned around.
When it was completed, thousands of iron hooves stirred up dust all over the sky.
"For Rome!"
The sound was like thunder, and the leader of the cuirassier in blue robes shouted, and like a billowing stream of iron, it swallowed up the Siegmund family cavalry group.
The first row of cuirassiers collided fiercely with the Siegmund family's cavalry. The sharp sabers easily cut through the bodies of the Ukrainians, but more people were squeezed by the surging horses and fell to the ground.
They were trampled to death, and many frightened mounts ran around in panic without the help of their riders.
The Siegmund family's cavalry immediately went into chaos. They were frightened by this sudden blow. The already widely dispersed team was actually torn apart. At this time, the hunting cavalry who were roaming aside were already waving their sabers and came one after another.
Come.
The saber is the best weapon in melee. The sabers of the Imperial Cavalry are mainly designed to use strong arc swings and slashes from the shoulder to the elbow. Their length is approximately 8284 cm, which is relatively long among the sabers of various countries.
, the width of the entire blade is almost the same from beginning to end, except that it narrows at the front end and has a double edge near the tip.
But the most important feature is also the excellence of the saber's design. The saber's handle. Needless to say, the blade is extended into a hand guard. Its unique feature is the introduction of a thumb ring. The thumb ring is riveted to the tongue of the handle.
, when holding a steel knife and chopping hard, the force exerted by the thumb through the thumb ring can make the striking action more accurate and powerful.
These well-trained cavalry were grouped into a small team of three or five, cutting the chaotic group of cavalry that these local snakes regarded as their treasures into countless scattered small pieces.
The bloody massacre began, but this was a battle that had already come to an end as soon as it started.
Another team of Chasseurs did not join the battle because of the location of the battle. I sent them to blockade the Siegmund family's castle. The people there saw the massacre and hid in the castle in panic.
Open the pocket watch and the battle ends twenty-one minutes later.
Not all of the Siegmund family and his allies' cavalry were dead, but most of them surrendered. Our casualties were very small, but more than ten cuirassiers were killed in the frontal charge.
The cavalry were divided into five parts and surrounded the entire castle, and thousands of serfs were guarded together.
The unrecognizable body of little Siegmund was found thirty minutes later. His head was severed and a spear was inserted into the place where the flintlock musket could not reach it.
In the castle, an old man poked his head out of the castle's observation window, looking at the messy battlefield absentmindedly and said: "Why! We have agreed to become subjects of the Roman Empire! Why are you still fighting us?!"
Except for my more than thirty guards, the other people who had just arrived didn't know what was going on, and many people's attention was caught for a while.
Just by agreeing to become a subject of the empire, you can arbitrarily insult the empire, insult our women, and have to hand over our territory?
Are you kidding me? The Siegmund family is totally seeking their own death.
"You killed my son, and I will fight you to the end! I will let you never have peace in this land! I will unite with the Russians! I will kill you all with the Russians and break into Constantinople.
!”
The old man's crazy shouts echoed in the huge castle open space. If it were the Middle Ages, we cavalry could only stare at old Siegmund's castle, but now, we don't blame us for not having this old man huddled inside the castle.
You're welcome.
After dispatching the liaison personnel, while waiting for Uncle Zhimiszia to send help, I looked at the castle and called Assassin. Maybe the bodyguards sent by the cheap daddy are the kind that only appear in novels and often follow a few tenths of a second.
Genius in fighting: "How is your fighting ability?"
Assassin asked: "It depends on the person."
I nodded in agreement. When it comes to fighting, of course you have to look at the target to make a judgment: "The most powerful level."
"The most powerful level? I should be more than enough to deal with you." Assassin chuckled.
I was stunned for a moment: "Why do you imagine that the most powerful opponent to fight would be me?"
Assassin's laughter was very meaningful: "Because I think our fight one day in the future will be very fierce. Fighting and other things are nothing compared to this, so I have to make far-sighted preparations for defeating you in the future.
After all, in a fight, I am on the defensive."
