"It's... This is the cuirassier! ”

The moment the cavalry rushed out of the woods, the soldiers who tried to attack Lawrence suddenly stopped in a panic.

They were assembled unarmed, and the only muskets were still lying in their tents.

And if the heavily armed cuirassiers charged them, it would be easier to cut off their heads with a sharp saber than to cut off wheat with a sickle.

Just the six one-man tall horses in front of them were not something they could cope with when they were rampaging through the crowd.

Some of the quick-witted soldiers had already reacted, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and raised their hands, while others also trembled uncontrollably and retreated.

Fortunately, these cavalrymen only came to protect Lawrence and Trafali, and did not attack these soldiers, but only formed a circle to protect Lawrence and Trafali in them, and at the same time raised their guns to deter these soldiers who dared to offend.

"Fire."

Lawrence ordered as he reloaded his pistol.

"They have given up resistance."

The cuirassier at the head glanced at Lawrence and said with a frown.

"No, blood must be seen today." Lawrence insisted.

"Please note, Major Bonaparte, we are here as a friend of Major Trefali and do not take your command."

Lawrence sighed slightly, but admitted that the cavalryman was right.

So he himself stepped forward, raised the muzzle of his gun at the soldiers who were rushing to the front, and under his terrified gaze, he pulled the trigger without any fuss.

Another shot rang out, and the soldier fell to the ground, the back of his head slammed to the ground.

"Major, he has obviously given up resistance." The horseman's brow furrowed even tighter.

"His death is worth more to me than he lives for the rest of his life." Lawrence said unhurriedly as he put away his pistol.

The rest of the soldiers were completely frightened, and several of them were already wet from their crotches. No one stupidly chose to run away, and in front of these war horses, they could not run a few steps.

Not far away, several soldiers had already carried buckets and poured them directly on the dying Kukin, but to no avail.

His pants were completely glued to his skin in the flames, his bare upper body was charred black, and he couldn't see a full piece of skin, and his face, though not on fire, was distorted by the extreme pain.

Lawrence walked up to Kukin, saw that his chest was still slightly undulating, and directly pulled out a short knife and inserted it into Kukin's chest, which can be regarded as helping him to get free.

"And you."

Lawrence thrust the blade that was still dripping blood back into his waist, looked at the people who had just rushed towards him, and said indifferently:

"Blatantly attacking the chief, I can execute you on the spot."

The soldiers felt a chill in their backs, but Lawrence then said:

"But, for your sake, I can spare your lives, but..."

Some of the clever soldiers quickly knelt on the ground and hurriedly said:

"Just say, sir, we can do anything!"

"Good." Lawrence nodded, still talking to smart people more easily:

"From today on, in every battle, dozens of you will be the front row, and in the siege, you dozens of people will be the vanguard. Is it acceptable? ”

In line tactics, the soldiers in the first row will undoubtedly be directly exposed to enemy fire, which also makes the casualty rate of the soldiers in the first row remain high.

"It's... Sir, can you not accept it? I don't know who asked timidly.

Lawrence glanced at him and said directly:

"If you don't accept it, you will die now."

At this point, these people didn't dare to say anything anymore, so they nodded and accepted Lawrence's proposal. Lawrence also had Lieutenant Seth transcribe the list of these men and ordered Major Trefali to supervise each battle.

"As for you..."

Lawrence turned to look at the other soldiers, and asked sharply at their loose formation:

"Don't you even know how to assemble and stand in a phalanx? Or is it a deliberate attempt to disobey me? ”

The soldiers' hearts tightened, and they secretly complained, but they watched Cunquin being burned alive by Lawrence, watching one person being shot by Lawrence, and watching those dozens of soldiers being pushed to the forefront by Lawrence, who would have the courage to disobey.

As Lawrence's words fell, there was a burst of footsteps below, and in an instant, everyone raised their heads and chested up, forming a neat phalanx.

As the saying goes, one slap and two dates, after the prestige was established, Lawrence also knew that he should give these people some sweetness, otherwise under high pressure, such a downward trend would continue to happen today.

Giving Major Trefali a look, Lawrence motioned for him to inform the orderlies to bring the boxes over.

"I know what you're thinking at the moment."

Lawrence then looked at the soldiers below and said loudly:

"You all think I'm a demon, an executioner, a cruel chief. But you are wrong, and I will not hesitate to show my cruelty and terror against my enemies; But for my brothers, I will not hesitate to share wealth and glory with them. ”

With Lawrence's encouraging words, the orderly brought up the chest full of gold coins and placed it directly in front of everyone at Lawrence's signal.

The two large wooden boxes, more than a meter long and wide, and half a person high, were filled with glittering gold coins, and even almost scattered a lot of them in the process of moving.

"Now that my enemies have been sent to God for repentance, I have no need to show you cruelty and terror. If you have relatives living in Ajaccio, write to ask how Lawrence Bonaparte treated his brothers, and how Lawrence Bonaparte led his brothers to glory and wealth. ”

Lawrence raised his arms, clenched his fists in front of his chest, and shouted passionately:

"Whoever is willing to follow me, I will make a covenant with you, that if you give me your faithfulness in faith, in a year I will repay you with this wealth before me, and I will make your name sound throughout Corsica and throughout Sardinia. And those who do not want to follow me, I will let you go, for you will witness the glory of Lawrence Bonaparte and his brothers. ”

As he spoke, Lawrence reached into the chest full of gold coins and mixed a handful, grabbed a handful of gold coins and let them fall from his fingers with a clanging sound.

No one thought about Kukin's death anymore, and the gold coin in front of him, with its dazzling golden light and pleasant sound, was the most attractive thing.

The eyes of all the soldiers were straight, they had been recruited from the rogue ruffians, bandits and outcasts, and they had never seen so many coins piled together in their lives.

Some people even naively thought, "This must be all the gold coins in all of Corsica." ”

Looking at the enthusiastic eyes of the soldiers, Lawrence also knew that this play had an effect, so he continued to shout:

"Now, it is time for you to decide, except for those who have offended me just now, who must atone for their actions, and the rest, if they do not want to follow me, can simply pack up and leave. I'll be back here tomorrow. ”

With that, Lawrence turned around and motioned for the orderlies to take the box with him, and left the camp with Trevary and the cuirassiers, leaving all the options to the soldiers present.
