Chapter 1697 Polish Wing Cavalry

"The flames and the terrifying explosion just now...how much black powder did they use?"

Prince Conde, Duke of Brandenburg, Commander of the Polish royal family and other European Allied generals observed this attack on the outer high ground. When they saw that the other party used a large amount of gunpowder to explode the walls of the castle, the explosion even on the outer side could hear it clearly and were frightened.

4,000 Indian Tumen soldiers have already attacked the fortress. They are fighting with the defenders in the fortress and trying to expel the defenders from the fortress.

Behind the 4,000 Indian Tumen soldiers is the Irish Legion. Their weapons are diverse, but it does not affect their success in following Tumen soldiers.

The Irish Legion experienced the English Civil War and the expedition to the West Indies, and was more combative than the French rebels.

The battle changed from shelling outside the fortress to close-killing battles inside the town, and Tubon soldiers lined up in bayonet formations to occupy roads and houses.

Prince Kong Dai and others broke into cold sweat for the defenders, but they did not dare to act rashly.

The Holy Alliance invested only a part of the troops to attack the fortress, as well as the Chinese Army, the English Army, and the Scottish Army, and the 45,000 Continental Allies on the periphery.

"Damn it, if this continues, they are not far from opening the Paris portal. At that time, we must fight with them in the north of Paris, otherwise Paris will be captured and our French king will lose prestige and rebellion." Prince Conde said.

"Let our winged cavalry of the Polish Lithuanian Federation to learn about the power of their infantry." Konetspolsky, the commander of the Polish royal family, was full of confidence in the cavalry in his hands. His troops fought against Tsarist Russia, Crimean Khanate, and Ottoman Empire in the east for many years, and had strong combat effectiveness.

"Our German cavalry should have crushed the English cavalry, but I always feel that their cavalry seemed to have become well-trained, and it was strange that they were comparable in the last battle. Konetspolsky, you should not underestimate the enemy." The young Duke of Brandenburg said to this long-standing Polish veteran.

The battle at Dunkirk Beach, Konetspolsky had not led the cavalry yet, and he did not know the power of the opponent's infantry and cavalry.

"I will act cautiously, but at critical moments our Polish winged cavalry will not retreat easily," said Konetspolsky.

"The guards who had withdrawn from the fortress lost the Amiens Fortress. We continued to lure them into depth, and then cut off their supply lines with cavalry, so that their morale would be disintegrated and then find a chance to fight the decisive battle." Prince Conde still did not dare to fight with the Holy Allied Army.

"It's better to let our Polish winged cavalry attack their food routes behind their backs." Konetspolsky took the initiative to ask.

"They have Chinese cavalry and English cavalry regiments patrolling the rear. Can you Polish wing cavalry deal with them?" asked Prince Conde.

"No problem." Although Konetspolsky was old, he still insisted on going to the battle.

The battle continued until the evening, and the French defenders of Amiens were basically driven out of town.

The nobles and civilians in the town were dissatisfied with the Holy Allied Army, and many of them followed the defenders to flee the Amiens.

There were a lot of damage to the houses and walls outside the town, and officers such as Sun Chuanting led the main force to enter the town to station and rest.

"We are closer to Paris to conquer this fortress." Sun Chuanting climbed the fortress's tower.

The Holy Allied Forces successively attacked the fortress and continued to march towards Paris.

However, in addition to the strong fortress that made Sun Chuanting and Prince Rupert and his group of officers had some headaches, another annoying thing happened - according to the report of the cavalry patrolling the food road, in addition to the French cavalry, a strange cavalry appeared behind them to attack the food trucks.

Behind this cavalry is a wing ornament made of eagle feathers, crane feathers or ostrich feathers. If it is made of ostrich feathers, it will be rustling with the sound of wind.

In addition to these cavalry with strange wings, there are also Cossack cavalry.

The cavalry tactics from Eastern Europe and the French cavalry from Western Europe jointly attacked the supply line of Sun Chuanting and others. A team of food trucks protected by Scottish soldiers were lost. The Polish cavalry, Cossack cavalry, and French cavalry captured the Scottish soldiers who protected the food and supplies, and burned the food and grass before the reinforcements arrived, causing considerable losses to the Holy Alliance.

The Holy Alliance began to penetrate deep into France, and they faced the difficulties faced by almost all expeditioners - after leaving the fleet by the sea, the food and grass needed to be turned on by the occupied fortresses.

The Continental Allies had gathered more than 12,000 cavalry, who relied on a large number of cavalry to attack the supply lines between the fortresses.

Sun Chuanting received information about the Polish winged cavalry and Cossack cavalry appearing in the rear, and knew that they could not continue to attack the supply line: "Cao Bianjiao, the troops besieging the fortress in northern Paris will be given to you to command. Prince Rupert and I will lead the cavalry to encircle and suppress this cavalry that appeared in the rear of ours."

Sun Chuanting rectified 2,000 Chinese cavalry, while Prince Rupert led 2,000 English cavalry and 1,000 Scottish cavalry. Both sides assembled 5,000 cavalry and began to move towards the rear.

The Holy Allied Army had the advantage of firearms and discipline, but the continental army, which had been baptized by thirty years of war, was not vegetarian. Their soldiers participated in wars all year round and had rich experience.

The Polish cavalry fought against Tsarist Russia, Ottoman, and Crimean Khanate for a long time, and all sides won and lost each other. On the premise that the military pay was sufficient, whether it was harassment or head-on confrontation, they were considered an elite cavalry unit.

"According to the report of the attacked food team, the other side's cavalry had strange wings and some light cavalry were wearing Eastern European costumes, and they were very likely to be cavalry of the Polish and Lithuanian Federation. As a kingdom and a primitive federal federal in Eastern Europe, they did not have much conflict with us. They would not send troops to participate in the coalition forces at such a long distance. It is probably because they received funding and were promised any benefits. It is even very likely that the Ottoman Empire deliberately encouraged them to come. The Ottoman Empire had just been defeated and did not dare to send troops openly, so the Poles carried out the war on behalf of the war." Prince Rupert said.

"We are defeated by the Ottoman Empire and dare to play tricks. When we free up our hands in the future, we will go to Constantinople to invite them to have tea." Sun Chuanting was a little dissatisfied with the Ottoman Empire's funding for the Polish and Lithuanian Federation to participate in the European War.

Constantinople was obviously not convinced. If the capital of the Ottoman Empire was not a coastal city, Pasha would not have time to reinforce Constantinople, maybe Constantinople would not have fallen so quickly.
