Chapter VII. Massacre (ask for recommendations!! )
The whole hill had been filled with the royal guards, and the flag of the French Empire was flying high in the hands of the cavalry at the head, and these French war horses, which had the blood of Arabian and French war horses, slammed the ground of the hill with their hard horseshoe, and the violent vibration made the sky shatter.

If in the medieval West, this kind of war horse was used as a heavily armed heavy knight charge, completely determining the victory or defeat of the battlefield, and now the cold-faced guards cavalry riding has also been lined up into rows of riding walls, just like a continuous huge wave, one by one over the hill high diagonally upwards with sharp sabers, aimed at those pirates and laid down!
When the hundreds of war horses violently beat the big drum of the land behind the hill, and the transmission of the slight vibration and undulation, directly across the hill to the shore, almost all of them subconsciously stopped the scimitar in their hands and cautiously dispersed towards the rear, but when the two looked up at the cavalry rolling down the hill, they both stood there with wide eyes.
"No, this voice... It's cavalry! Damn it! It's cavalry! ”
The scream of the pirate leader Damathieu sounded almost out of fear, and he stared at the top of the hill with wide eyes, and one by one the cavalrymen on tall horses appeared in an instant, and when he passed Miss Sherley and the guards, his heart was already filled with fear, and he just trembled and held the saber in his hand and scolded loudly and angrily: "This is an ambush! It's a conspiracy! ”
How could a cherished Drifting Island come out so easily? Even children know that when the stars fall every month, the main drifting island, which can be inhabited, will never appear in the obvious area of the Endless Sea!
And now on this seemingly ownerless drifting island, there is an elite cavalry team of hundreds of people directly, and looking at the clothes on the body and the neat charging queue, if it is not premeditated to ambush here, just waiting for them to take the bait to start a fierce slaughter, this cunning pirate leader Damatheus will never believe it!
"Stop them! If you want to survive, then stop the cavalry! ”
However, as a well-known pirate leader in this sea, Damathieu still gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, raised his scimitar and slashed to death the two pirates who turned around and were about to escape, his face splashed with a lot of blood was hideous and ugly, he stared at his eyes that were bloodshot because of fear and anger and scolded loudly: "Rush forward and fight with that group of cavalry!" Fight! ”
It was a flat beach area, but it was not soft sand, but most of it was fine rocky ground, and from the bottom of the hill to the calf-deep beach, it was almost more than a hundred meters, but for those cavalry, it was a so-called hundred meters, and it was only a few breaths to reach the distance.
Although Damache, as a pirate leader, still has some knowledge, but the group of pirates under his command are in the deafening sound of horses' hooves, and the hearts that were originally filled with money, beauties and titles, have unknowingly been filled with absolute fear, and even Damache's orders and the coercion of the pirate leader have been unable to make them continue to muster up courage!
"Long live France!"
The royal guards clenched their sabers and shouted, accompanied by the undulating body of the warhorse, whether it was their eyes or faces, there was only a solemn solemnity. They were Guards Cavalry, regular troops, efficient slaughtering machines, and they didn't care what the pirates in front of them were afraid of!
It is almost a modern cavalry standard cavalry wall charge, even in the face of artillery, they can rush straight forward without fear, not to mention this more than 100 pirates who are fleeing?!
The bright and sharp saber had been raised high by the Guards cavalry, and looking at the ragged, almost dirty pirates, there was no pity in their eyes, and the strong war horse slammed into the thin pirate body, followed by the bright shadow that waved, raising circles of red light in the sun.
The mass-produced saber made of stamping technology has already been carefully polished, and the sharp blade easily uses the inertia of the war horse to charge, just as it is as easy as a hot meal knife to cut into butter, with the slight shaking of the blade and arm, the pirate body that has been hit by the war horse has been divided into two in an instant, whether it is muscle or bone, it has been neatly cut.
"It was a massacre... A massacre..."
Miss Sherley clenched her hands and swallowed involuntarily as she stood at the top of the hill, her towering chest rising and falling because of the violent fluctuations in her heart, staring at the Guards cavalry as if it were a performance of the art of killing, the shock and fear in her heart were already indescribable, but she couldn't stop muttering: "Mighty army..."
The hundreds of cavalrymen were dressed in red and yellow clothing, and the gorgeous decoration was almost like ceremonial cavalry, although they were not wearing armor, but the skillful horseback riding skills, the crispness of wielding the saber, and the expressionless appearance in the face of the dead corpse, simply made her feel the momentum that she could only feel in the face of the real elite.
In just a short moment, the more than 150 pirates who had come ashore were already lying scattered on the beach, a large amount of bright red had begun to diffuse, and the waves gently blowing along the sea with the wind rendered the entire beach red, just like purgatory, there were no living pirates, only those of her original guards, still standing in place, looking at the battle in front of him that almost happened and ended in an instant, and his mind was still blank.
"No, miss, I should say that those pathetic pirates are too weak."
A faint voice sounded next to Sherley, Chopin's tall figure walked over to her side, followed by the two scholars in gentleman's clothes, Chopin held the knight's sword at his waist with one hand as if it was made of gold, raised his chin slightly, and looked at the slaughter at the bottom of the hill, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile: "It's easy, isn't it?" He turned his head to look at the girl he had saved, his dark brown eyes were like precious gems, and he couldn't help but whisper, "Did you say yes?" Beautiful and touching lady. ”
"When... Of course..."Sherley's heart trembled slightly, but she didn't dare to say anything, just nodded and looked at the battle that was almost over under the hill, but her eyes involuntarily glanced at the delicate wooden box in the guard's hand, and when she saw that Chopin was not interested in the box, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Rows of French spearmen poured up the hill in order, their three-meter-and-a-half-meter-long spears already clenched in their hands, standing on the hill like a forest, while the town militia with flintlock muskets followed closely behind, trimming the brown brimmed hats they wore on their heads, and stood still with their flintlock pistols very easily.
They could see the sea not far away, the pirates who were still on the ship were running in a panic, but without Levi's order, they wouldn't do anything, but their attacks couldn't reach the pirate ship, of course, if they pulled the Sax Falcon cannon left behind in Paris, they would definitely be able to bombard the pirate ship, but the heavy thing was just a thought.
There were still a small number of pirates left on the three pirate ships in the distance, but they were frightened to see the cavalry that suddenly appeared on the beach, the slaughter of their companions, and the hundreds of soldiers standing densely on the hills, and the only remaining people in their three pirate ships were only about fifty, and each pirate ship could not move on its own.
"Oh, they just abandoned the ship and fled?"
Chopin stood at the top of the hill, watching the pirates on the three pirate ships, all gathered on one pirate ship, directly abandoned the other two and raised their sails, and quickly rowed the wooden oars towards the depths of the sea, and couldn't help but bring a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, touched his chin and said: "I have to say that they are still very wise." ”
To be honest, the three pirate ships, except for the two Sax falcon cannons transferred from the city of Paris, Levi really didn't have any good way, after all, the troops in his hands now, except for the royal guards cavalry who were good at close combat on war horses, were the spearmen who were unable to move and the town militia as musketeers, and it was obviously not cost-effective to directly row a small boat to attack the pirate ship.
And the departure of the group of pirates by themselves is obviously very in line with Chopin's current goal, but he still looked at the pirate ship slowly departing on the sea level, and shook his head with some pity: "Let the murderous pirates go back, it seems that it is necessary to recruit troops for strict defense." ”
However, Chopin still turned his head to look at the girl beside him with a beautiful face, smiled lightly, and very elegantly arranged the whole book of capable clothes, and said to her: "Hello, beautiful young lady, can you know your name?" Seeing that Sherlay was a little restrained, he also smiled and said, "If you can, please come to my city with your companions." ”
Chopin saved these people, although he had a good intention for a while, but he also had the meaning of wanting to understand the world, especially for this strange world, and it belonged to the aborigines, it is always good to understand the new rules and new order as soon as possible, and he saved these dozen people, and there is also a kindness for this group of people to confide everything they know.
It doesn't matter if you let those pirates go, with the "Total War" system of rapid recruitment, just those pirates who don't even have artillery are nothing to Chopin, who doesn't need to develop maritime trade now, and when it comes time to develop maritime trade, I'm afraid that those pirates are nothing.
You must know that in this real world, the system basically calculates the number of previous rounds according to the month, as long as there are enough gold coins and materials, whether it is cavalry or infantry, or merchant ships and warships, they can be recruited in a very short time!
