Chapter 409: More terrifying than heavy cavalry
At this moment, the Legion Commander's voice suddenly stopped, because he noticed that a large cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rose not far ahead, and some black shadows faintly appeared on the flat ground, slowly advancing towards them from the end of the line of sight.
"Huh? What's going on? What kind of movement is this, how does it look like a large group of heavy cavalry charge, could it be that our enemy still has a large group of heavy cavalry?! ”
The commander of the legion said suspiciously, and several generals around him also looked at each other, not understanding what was happening.
"Spy, go and investigate!" With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen light cavalry from the Ottoman Turkish legion rushed out and ran quickly forward.
Seeing the spies in the distance, the commander's brows slowly furrowed, and the momentum of the smoke and dust rising in front was a little stronger, if it was really a heavy cavalry, the scale would definitely be more than 10,000.
More than 10,000 heavy cavalry, it was hard for him to believe that the Holy Roman Empire at this time still had such a scale of heavy cavalry, you know, once the number of heavy cavalry exceeds 100, it will be completely different, and the combat effectiveness of this kind of army will increase greatly with the increase in number.
The group charge of 10,000 heavy cavalry, it makes people's hearts tremble when they think about it, although he has 70,000 troops under his command at the moment, but most of them are ordinary infantry, there is no defensive equipment to rely on at the moment, and there is no good terrain, just on this kind of large plain, in the face of 10,000 heavy cavalry, he really has no certainty of victory.
"Isn't our intelligence wrong, doesn't it mean that the Holy Roman Empire now doesn't have much military power? How could this sudden appearance of heavy cavalry of this size? The Legion Commander said unhappily, feeling like he had been trapped.
The faces of the generals next to him were also a little ugly, and when they heard the words of the commander of the legion, a young low-ranking general took a step forward, lowered his head and said, "Marshal, we don't know, but didn't you say before that this is the territory of a marquis named Eugen?" Could it be that these heavy cavalry belonged to him? ”
Hearing this, the commander of the legion immediately remembered the battle report he saw, and now it seems that it is really possible that the battle report is true, and what the enemy has is 10,000 heavy cavalry.
The commander of the legion was a little depressed, his purpose this time was to attack Vienna, but he had not yet taken a few steps before he encountered such a great enemy.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, and the commander of the legion couldn't help but say angrily: "What's the matter, didn't the French Empire also attack?" They have such military strength, why don't they mobilize to other battlefields to stop us? ”
In fact, the attack was led by the French Empire, which had not previously prepared to participate in the war against the Holy Roman Empire.
Because there were some problems within their country, it was the French Empire that sent people to make suggestions and promise benefits, so that the Ottoman Turks gathered a small number of troops to help participate in the attack.
This is also the case in other countries, so this time, the real enemy of the Holy Roman Empire should be the French Empire, but they did not expect that they themselves would be attacked on such a scale first.
Just when several generals were a little indignant, and some even suggested retreating first to avoid the front, the spies sent out finally rushed back.
"Not a heavy cavalry ......"
The spies who rushed back looked nervous, their foreheads were covered with cold sweat, their eyes were as if they were about to bulge, and they kept panting, looking like they had seen a ghost.
When the commander of the legion heard that it was not a heavy cavalry, his hanging heart suddenly fell into his stomach, he waved his hand and said with a chuckle: "Haha, if it's not a heavy cavalry, then it's nothing, pass the order, the whole army will continue to move forward and destroy those enemies!" ”
The spies were already terrified to the extreme, and they even risked offending the marshal, rushed to the commander of the legion in a panic, and screamed: "It's not heavy cavalry, but it's something more terrible than heavy cavalry, it looks like a monster, a monster made of steel!" ”
These spies had no concept of a tank in their minds, and they didn't know how to describe what they saw at the moment, so they could only describe some of the characteristics of the tank.
However, the commander of the legion was a little confused by them, and he didn't understand what these spies were talking about after listening to them for a long time, but their expressions were too exaggerated, which made the surrounding onlookers and generals feel a little hairy.
"Panic what!" Feeling an inexplicable emotion similar to fear begin to spread in the Legion, the Legion Commander was immediately enraged, he shouted to stop the two spies, and continued: "Whatever it is, it is vulnerable and vulnerable in front of the army of the Great Sultan! If you disturb the morale of the army, I will kill you!" ”
The corps commander burst into applause, and the spies didn't dare to say a word, but they still had frightened expressions on their faces, and they wanted to say that the legion commander had ordered a retreat.
The commander of the legion had already made up his mind at this time, in his opinion, heavy cavalry was the most terrible type of army in the world, as long as it was not heavy cavalry, then there would be no problem.
Therefore, the entire army continued to advance slowly, and the army of 70,000 people surrounded a huge phalanx, and finally, it came into contact with the tank corps led by Eugen.
The distance between the two sides has been shortened to about five kilometers, and they can already see the situation of the other team.
"Hahaha, warriors, charge, give them a big surprise!" Eugen sat in the cockpit of the tank, said cheerfully, and radioed the order to charge the tank corps.
Buzzing, the tank corps rose to a rapid speed, forming a scattered formation, rushing towards the front, five thousand meters, four thousand meters, three thousand meters, the distance between the two sides was constantly narrowing.
At this time, the commander of the Ottoman Turkish army raised his binoculars in front of his eyes and muttered, "Let me see what is on the other side." ”
Then, through the round lenses, he saw the appearance of the tank corps.
At this moment, this veteran in his fifties, who has led the army to fight for decades, was completely stunned, he couldn't believe his eyes at all, and his hands couldn't stop trembling.
Finally, with a clang, the telescope slipped from his hand and fell to his feet, his eyes widened and he muttered with his mouth wide open, "Oh my God, what is that?" ”
