Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 618 Winged cavalry, charge!

Not long after Sudan inspected the battlefield, the siege Ottoman army broke into Vienna through those gaps many times!
Although they were desperately driven out by the Vienna defenders every time, they also consumed the number of Vienna defenders.

Soon, desperate defenders climbed out of the gap and surrendered to the Ottoman army.

According to the information they provided, the defenders in Vienna are now on the verge of collapse.

On the one hand, the firepower of the Ottoman army was far beyond their expectations. Ming-made artillery and muskets hit them so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up at all, and suffered heavy casualties!

On the other hand, those green hot air balloons floating in the sky also caused great psychological pressure on the defenders and citizens in the city.

These Catholics are lost: Ottomans can fly!And no one on the Catholic side can fly!
What does this mean?
It shows that the advantage is not with me!
Count Stallenberg realized that if he did not fight back, Vienna would be over.

But he only has five thousand winged cavalry left!

We can only gamble, otherwise the Hussars will be even more aggrieved if they die in the battle of defending the city.

Woohoo!

Accompanied by the sound of the loud and clear horn, the whole land was filled with gunpowder smoke, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded through the sky.

Kaminski, commander of the Polish hussars, took a deep breath, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Riding a gun!"

Kaminski is a descendant of the Polish-Lithuanian star Hodkiewicz family.

Hodkiewicz led his troops to repel the Rakshasa army and the Ottoman army many times, and also captured Moscow, which shocked Europe.

However, due to the limited strength of the Polish Federation and the huge difference between it and Rakshasa, the two parties could not merge, which led to the failure of the idea of ​​the Poland-Lithuania-Moscow Federation.

Kaminsky is the best of his family's descendants, otherwise he would not be able to command the hussars.

The hussars hesitated for a while, and said: "General! It's just some Ottomans. You don't have to go to the battle yourself, or leave it to me."

"Riding a gun!"

Kaminsky didn't talk nonsense, and still repeated the two words just now.

The soldiers did not dare to say anything more, and handed the long lance to Kaminski.

Kaminsky held his lance. Although Count Stallenberg asked their hussars to fight this tough battle, he could not refuse. For the glory of the hussars, he could not retreat.

Thinking in my heart, my waist was raised a little unconsciously, and my expression became extraordinarily solemn.

Kaminsky raised his lance over his head, and Kaminsky rode his horse past the three thousand cavalry.The [-] cavalry in full body armor immediately raised their weapons high and cheered like the sky.

In their eyes, the invincible general appeared again. In their hearts, this huge figure was an invincible myth. Even if there was a mountain in front of them, they could bravely break away.

After the cheers subsided, Kaminski steered his horse to the front of the battle and shouted loudly: "Husbands! We are fearless warriors, we are the spears of God, and we are the enemy's nightmare! The Ottomans are right there, I want you to tear them apart and swallow them skin and bones, can you do that?"

"can!"

The loud voice made the earth tremble.

Kaminsky nodded in satisfaction.

Swish!
Kaminski closed his delicate visor and turned to face the Ottoman army in the distance.

"Husbands! Charge!"

An order was given, but Kaminski rushed out first, and the five thousand cavalry behind him, 200 in a formation, slowly accelerated at a distance of 15 meters.

Their speed didn't increase fast, but their formation was very neat.

The lances of the hussars were erected high, forming rows of spears.

The most eye-catching thing is behind them, the pair of wings made of feathers, fluttering up and down with the ups and downs of the horses, as if they could really fly.

Seeing the five thousand cavalry rushing out, there was a burst of cheers in the city of Vienna. Some of the Ottoman infantry who were attacking the city hurriedly dodged to the left and right. Many people still had no time to escape and were knocked down by the galloping horses and trampled into flesh.

"Accelerate! Accelerate! Charge up!"

Although the optimal distance for the hussars to accelerate had not yet been reached, Kaminsky gave the order to charge.

It is impossible not to rush, the artillery of the Ottomans is too strong, and the city of Vienna cannot be defended unless their artillery is crushed.

If it is a normal opponent, the Polish hussars' charge tactics are effective.

The tactics of the Polish hussars are very flexible. When they reach a distance of about [-] meters from the enemy phalanx, the Poles will arrange the hussars in a dense formation for a group charge. At this time, the speed of the hussars It is also the fastest. After all, the faster the speed, the greater the inertia and the stronger the impact.

At the same time, although the hussars belonged to the heavy cavalry, they retained some characteristics of the light cavalry. Before the cavalry approached the enemy infantry's spear formation, the Poles often asked the knights in the first row to take out their arquebus guns to attack first. Round volley - very do not talk about martial arts.

If encountering the interception of the opponent's cavalry, the hussars will set up their spears to deal with it.If not, simply throw away the lance and spear, and directly use the battle axe, broadsword and hammer to kill the enemy infantry.

In fact, some Polish cavalry simply did not draw out any weapons when they charged. Relying on weight and inertia were enough to disperse the enemy's spears and muskets.

On the other hand, the Poles also put a lot of effort into horses.

Traditional Eastern European war horses are good at running and have strong explosive power but poor load-bearing capacity, while horses in Northern Europe and West Asia are good at carrying heavy loads and have poor explosive power.

The horses of the hussars are actually "customized" hybrid horses. The Poles will buy a large number of horses from West Asia and Northern Europe for hybridization with local horses. The ability is also excellent.

In extreme cases, the hybrid horses used by the hussars can carry [-] to [-] kilograms of equipment for a long-distance march of more than [-] kilometers, and immediately organize a charge. In addition, the Poly Federation also legislates to prohibit the sale of horses, and offenders will be executed immediately .

In addition, the Polish winged cavalry has the means to fight against muskets. In order to fight against early muskets, the Poles directly customized special bulletproof plate armor for each cavalry. Other plates are more exaggerated.

The muskets at that time were not as powerful as later generations. Not only were they loaded in the front, but they also used black powder. The most terrible thing was that the amount of charge was not enough. This method of customizing armor can indeed ensure that the hussars can rush to the opponent's infantry smoothly. Before the battle.

However, Zhu Kezang had long expected that the hussars would definitely become the biggest obstacle for the Ottomans to attack Vienna, so he gave some small gifts to the Ottomans.

The Ottoman army had been prepared for a long time. Under the command of the prime minister of the empire, dozens of black whirlwind rockets of the foreign trade version soared into the sky, and plunged into the ranks of the hussars.
