Chapter 321: Heroic Knights
The small dock, with the exception of neatly stacked cargo boxes, was almost entirely occupied by an array of officers and soldiers, and a rough estimate was at least two thousand people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even with such a big formation, the laborers who moved the boxes didn't care at all, they were more concerned about how much money they could earn today than watching the excitement. Besides, it's no surprise that Constanta has been around every few days.
The carriage stopped.
Zheng Fei stood up and looked forward to it, and through the bustling crowd, he saw that there were many more boats on the shore than when he first arrived two days ago.
"What are those soldiers doing?" Santiago scratched his head in confusion.
The passer-by happened to hear his doubts, and explained with great interest: "A large quantity of munitions has been found in the hold of a fleet this morning, and the sailors have been thrown off the ship and guarded, and are waiting for their master to pass." ”
"Shouldn't the people in the fleet be executed immediately if something like this happens?"
"No, no, no, you're talking about Istanbul, and Constanta isn't like it. ”
At this point, the passer-by was impatiently called out by his companion who was walking in front, shrugged his shoulders without further ado, and quickly followed.
Standing on the carriage and thinking for a while, Zheng Fei took out his binoculars and carefully observed the situation on the dock.
"Hey, look at that man, what is he doing with a stick in front of his eyes, is he going to poke his eyes?" exclaimed a child on the side of the road in amazement.
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of getting beaten!" the adult hurriedly covered his mouth, glanced timidly at the big men in the carriage, and after being glared at by Santiago, he hurried away.
Zheng Fei didn't bother to listen to what passers-by were saying, and after seeing the ships moored on the shore through the camera, a sigh came from the bottom of his heart.
"God ......" Actually, he wanted to say, but it definitely didn't fit the mood at the moment.
"What's wrong?" the guys asked almost at the same time, a rare tacit understanding.
The telescope hung down, Zheng Fei held it tightly in his hand, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and his face revealed a faint worry.
"The fleet that was seized and seized...... It's ours. ”
With that, his expression changed suddenly, and before the men were in a commotion, he resolutely ordered: "Santiago, take someone back to see where Hans and the rest of the army are, and urge them to go at full speed!"
Santiago never liked to ask too much, although he was not very smart, but he could sense that Zheng Fei's mood was quite nervous, so without saying a word, he pushed the coachman out of the car, unbuttoned the carriage, and rode away.
The coachman sat on the ground, staring at Santiago's big back, and just as he was about to scream, a large handful of shiny silver coins landed beside him, rolling around.
"This money buys your horse. Zheng Fei said lightly, then looked up at the sky and sighed: "God bless, don't touch my things." ”
What's in the cabin?
Rifled guns, rifled guns, and hot air balloons, etc., are all products that should not belong to this era.
The guns were in the hands of the soldiers of Constanta, and as soon as they were test-fired, they immediately found that the range and power were far beyond the norm, and they would definitely be detained. If the officer is stupid, it is fine, at most he will just throw them directly into battle, and if he is a little wiser, he will send them to the senior gunsmith and gunsmith for study.
In that case, the concept of mini bullets and rifles will not be hidden, and the European continent will be given new weapons across the ages, and the entire world will be rewritten.
If a large number of high-performance rifled guns were to be put into the front line, the invincible Ottoman army would be defeated one after another. The heavy cavalry units, which the Empire is most proud of, are known for their powerful shock and excellent defenses, and will also be crushed.
In this era, a large number of rifled guns were enough to sweep the battlefield and turn the tide of the war strongly.
......
Thinking of this, without further ado, Zheng Fei decided to rush over to take a look, maybe the group of soldiers hadn't discovered the secret of the guns yet.
However, out of caution, he stopped a thin man passing by and showed a few silver coins, and the other party immediately came over with a smirk.
Zheng Fei stuffed one into his hand first and asked, "The dock is quite lively, I heard that a fleet of ships has been seized?"
"No, this kind of thing happens twice in three days, everyone is used to it, and there is nothing to see. ”
"What did the army do with the owners of the fleet?"
"They will pay for the arms, and they will have to sell them if they don't sell them. ”
"What else?"
"No...... It's no better than Istanbul, where the army is eager for arms dealers from all over the world to sell arms and be lucky enough to go to the front line against the West Asian barbarians. ”
"In other words, the owner of the fleet is absolutely safe, right?" Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, and gave him another silver coin.
"Yes!" the thin man quickly took the silver coin into his arms, rolled his eyes, and said tentatively, "You can't be its owner, right?"
Zheng Fei gave him all the silver coins in his hand, meaningful: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”
It seemed that the thin man was an old fritter, so he wiped his face very interestingly, immediately changed his expression, and said blankly: "Who are you, is there something wrong with me?"
Zheng Fei laughed, ignored him, and watched him run away in ecstasy with the silver coin.
"I can't see that you're still so careful. Brad turned his head to look at the thin man's back, and then at the Harrison family's little beggar who was following behind the convoy.
"It depends. ”
Zheng Fei's brows gradually relaxed, looking at the soldiers on the shore, and was about to let the coachman rush over, when he suddenly heard the sound of dense horse hooves behind him, the coachman hurriedly drove the carriage to the side of the road, and then within half a minute, he saw two teams of cavalry at the corner of the street, galloping on the spacious street, and went straight to the shore.
Wherever the cavalry passed, a tidal cheer rang out, clapping and shouting excitedly about a certain Romanian noun meaning hero.
The cavalry had a long queue, about a thousand men, and it was clear from the cold and resolute faces that all of them were brave and ruthless characters.
The horses' hooves kicked and dust flew in the air, causing puffs of smoke.
Looking at the mighty formation up close, coupled with the high-pitched cheering voices of the people constantly hitting the eardrums, Brad couldn't help but pick up the wine jug and take a sip, which touched Zheng Fei's shoulder.
"Hey, this is the Heroic Knights Legion of Constanta, composed of strong heavy cavalry, the strongest defensive force in Constanta, because Constanta is currently the only big port in Romania, and its status is very important, so the royal family has not transferred this force to the front. ”
"Heroic Knight Legion, does it sound like a mighty name?"
Zheng Fei's gaze fell on the cavalrymen who passed quickly, observing their size and equipment. (To be continued.) )
