Chapter 215 New Skills and VIP Visits
During the Battle of Vienna, it took a whole week for the reinforcements from the Holy Roman Empire to assemble. After all, they were reinforcements from multiple forces, and they would not be able to enter the battlefield without prior coordination.

Fortunately, because these reinforcements near the Ottoman army attracted the opponent's attention, the opponent stopped attacking Vienna, giving the defenders in Vienna a chance to breathe.

Although during this period of preparation, the Ottomans relied on the advantage of their large number of people to launch multiple attacks. Not only did they prepare ten blasting points at a time, they even sent the most elite new army troops to the front line, trying to capture the enemy before the arrival of reinforcements. vienna.

But all these plans failed, and the defenders, whose morale was boosted by the arrival of reinforcements, successfully fought back all the attacks of the Ottomans.

Perhaps because the number of troops in his hands was greater than the combined reinforcements and defenders, the Ottoman commander made a fatal decision before the final battle:

Divide the troops into two parts, let the elite troops including the new army go to attack the city, and mix the cavalry with the newly arrived reserve team to withdraw to the camp for defense.

However, this practice of trying to take advantage of both sides made it impossible for both sides to take care of it. The defenders of the city felt their morale boosted because of the drop in artillery density, while the defense seemed stretched because of insufficient numbers.

In this case, the Ottoman army could only maintain a long but extremely shallow line of defense, and considering the rugged terrain on the west and south sides of the city, the Ottomans did not build any fortifications, and even the basic anti-cavalry wooden fences were lazy. .

As a result, on the night of September 9, Sobieski led the Polish army to the Karun Mountain ridgeline in the south of the city, and made preparations at the same time as the German coalition forces in the north.

Early the next morning, the German army first launched an attack. The Ottomans believed that the reinforcements would be gradually weakened by the dense fortifications, but they did not expect that the Saxon artillery would bravely drag the cannons to approach and shoot.

These short-range artillery fire completely smashed the Ottoman defenders at several strongholds, and forced the commander of the empire, Grand Vizier, to lead the guards around him into battle to maintain the front line.As a result, the front line remained deadlocked until 11 o'clock in the morning.

Although the German army gradually pulled out the strongholds of the Ottomans one by one, there still seemed to be a long distance from the city of Vienna.

But because of the Germans' hard work, all the Ottoman mobile forces were mobilized to the north and held tightly, so when the Polish army crossed the ridge to attack at 1 pm, it happened to hit the weak connection point of the Ottoman army.

This sudden attack completely disrupted the Ottoman movement, so by 4 pm the Poles had broken through several defensive lines and came to the edge of the Ottoman camp.

At this time, King Sobieski sent a company of hussars as a death squad to attack alone to test the reality of the Ottoman camp and prepare for the subsequent attack.

Although they knew that they might never return, these elite knights braved bullets and launched a desperate assault on the Turkish camp without hesitation.

They used traditional spears as their main weapon. They lowered the spears the moment they approached the Turks, and then tried their best to pierce the enemy's chest or lower abdomen. The huge impact can sometimes pierce two enemy soldiers at a time, making them The Ottomans were heartbroken.

Although these hussars were extremely brave, due to the great disparity in strength between the two sides, no more than 1/5 of the team returned in the end.

The set of harness Liang En obtained was taken from the squadron leader's mount that the soldiers found when cleaning the battlefield after the war. As for the squadron leader's body, it was lost in the chaos.

Because of the desperate struggle of this small army, Sobieski figured out the distribution of strength in the large camp.Then he swept the entire camp with a cavalry team composed of 3000 hussars, 6000 dragoons and Cossacks, and won the final victory.

Although from a historical point of view, King Sobieski of Poland, Duke of Lorraine, commander of the Holy Roman Empire, and Staheimberg, commander of the Vienna garrison, have made outstanding contributions, together with their soldiers, and the credit should be their own. accounted for one third.

But perceptually speaking, an elite cavalry sweep across a ridge and sweep an entire ottoman is more dramatic.Therefore, this scene has been repeated many times in later generations.

Whether it is the repeated remake of the Battle of Vienna movie, or the charge to save the city when the Rohan cavalry assisted Gondor in the third episode of "Lord of the Rings", it is a commemoration of the assault that fell from the sky.

Just after he figured out the cause and effect of the source of the harness in the box, three black cards and one silver card appeared in his mind.

The three black cards are [Detection (N)], [Repair (N)] and [Appraisal (N)]. Pop these cards.

After briefly looking at the three previously existing cards, Liang En quickly focused on the newly appeared silver card.

[Hussar harness (SR): When the hussars arrive on the battlefield—as sung in "Winged Hussars", if the Poles are called the spear of God, then the hussars are the sharpest of the spears of God spear point.

And this set of harness represents the spirit and soul of this powerful army, so this card can also bring some power of this army to the holder.

Item card, as long as you have this set of harness, you can designate up to 126 horses every week to have a sense of control and bravery like a hussar horse, and adjust them to the best condition. This ability cannot be accumulated. 】

"This is my second item card." Liang En looked at the new card with a thoughtful expression, "But then again, this item is definitely a perfect match with the Kazan copper pot I got before. .”

After all, the reason why the Kazan copper pot was left among the people is because of the opponent's disastrous defeat under the city of Vienna, so it will give people a special feeling when put together with the hussars harness representing the victorious side.

That night, Liang En and the others enjoyed a very local food, including cabbage soup.Braised duck in Krakow, pierogi and Viennese cheesecake.Interestingly, this cheesecake, topped with vanilla cream or chocolate, is not as popular in Austria as it is in Poland.

On the second day, several of them flew back to London together, and then Liang En bid farewell to Pierce at the airport and returned to Dublin with Fan Meng.

But what Liang En didn't expect was that when he was having dinner with his parents after returning home with the booty on his back, he heard some incredible news from his mother.

"You said that a young girl came to me from France and found that I was working in my ranch after going out for a while?" Liang En showed a surprised expression when asked by his mother.

"Yeah, I think that little girl seems to have just grown up, and she has a picture of you on her body." Liang En's mother said after putting a piece of braised pork ribs in his bowl. "When did you meet?"
