Chapter 283 The Holy Roman Empire is in Chaos
The Changsheng Battalion caught up with the [-] Holy Roman Empire troops transporting commissions in a small town not far from the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.
In order to get all of these commissions without omission, Qin Tu got the news that the scouts had detected the five thousand escort army of the Holy Empire and rested in that small town at night.
He didn't order to attack these people immediately, but quietly bypassed the town and came to the road that the Holy Roman Empire army must pass the next day.
Prepare to intercept and kill these people when they pass by here the next morning.
Qin Tu also had his own ideas in doing so.
For the buildings here, the soldiers of Changsheng Battalion don't know very well, if they rashly attack this army of the Holy Roman Empire at night.
Then the Changsheng Battalion is likely to be hidden in buildings and use long-range weapons such as bows, arrows, spears, and axes to fight back.
Although the Changsheng Battalion has more powerful muskets and cast iron bombs, in an unfamiliar environment and in the dark, there will definitely be many unnecessary casualties.
Moreover, the muzzle fire of muskets in the dark makes it easier for soldiers to expose their positions, which makes it easier for enemies hiding in the dark to successfully attack with long-range weapons.
So Qin Tu chose to go around to the Holy Roman Empire army first and ambush them on their only way the next day.
Facts have proved that his decision is correct.
Early the next morning, the [-] troops of the Holy Roman Empire who had eaten breakfast lazily entered Qin Tu's ambush range.
Perhaps it is very close to their country, and this is already the interior of the Holy Fallen Empire.
The five thousand troops of the Holy Empire were not on guard at all, and the soldiers, including the officers, were chatting with each other, laughing and joking like they were on an outing.
Following Qin Tu's order, the Changsheng Battalion cavalry who had been hiding in the woods a few miles away rushed out and went straight to kill the five thousand Roman Empire troops.
This sudden change made the army of the Holy Roman Empire flustered for a while, but they were quickly stopped by the officers who led the team, and then they quickly arranged a defensive formation to try to resist.
How could the battle-hardened Qin Tu give them a chance to resist effectively? These troops of the Holy Roman Empire had just arranged a dense defensive formation in a panic.
Qin Tu ordered to hide on both sides of the road before, and the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion under various disguises suddenly emerged from their disguises, each holding a ignited cast iron bomb in their hands.
With the continuous explosion of cast iron bombs thrown by these ambushed soldiers into this group of Holy Roman Empire troops, their hastily organized defensive formation instantly collapsed!
Hundreds of Changsheng Battalion soldiers ambushing on both sides of the road just threw two rounds of cast iron bombs, and the more than 1 Changsheng Battalion cavalry led by Qin Tu killed this group of people running around like headless chickens. in front of the army of the Holy Empire.
massacre!
This could no longer be called a battle, it was an overwhelming massacre by Guoguo!
In less than 10 minutes, these 5000 people were hacked to death by Qin Tu and the [-] cavalry army, leaving no one alive!
Qin Tu made it very clear to his soldiers that they were going in alone and there was no need to think about taking prisoners, as those things would only become a burden to his lone army.
With such a military order, the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion can be regarded as having a good kill this time.
Ten minutes later, the corpses of the five thousand Holy Roman Empire soldiers escorting commissions were everywhere within a few hundred meters on both sides of the road.
Qin Tu had assigned tasks to these subordinates the night before, and soon the thirteen thousand soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion were divided into several groups, and a thousand of them rode to catch the horses that were frightened and fled because of the cast iron bomb explosion.
5000 men dismounted to search for loot. The weapons and decent armor of the soldiers of the Holy Empire were collected and loaded into carts. Soldiers who knew how to carpenter went to check the carts damaged by cast iron bombs.
Soon the battlefield here was cleaned up, and there was only one cart that could not be used, because the groom driving the cart was killed in the first round of cast iron bomb attacks.
The frightened horses dragged the carriage, rushed out and overturned many soldiers of the Roman Empire outside, and finally overturned on the side of the road. As a result, the cart fell apart and the axle broke and could not be repaired.
The soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion loaded all the contents of this cart onto other carts.
Qin Tu ordered to turn around and return quickly. This time, the purpose has been achieved. It is not a good thing for their 3000 people to stay in the deep interior of the Holy Roman Empire.
After several battles, although they crushed their opponents every time, less than half of the ammunition they carried had been consumed. If they were besieged inland, they would have to fight to the death with their ammunition and supplies.
More than 1 people from Changsheng Camp came quickly and left even faster.
The people near the small town heard the explosion here, and just ran back to the small town to report the situation. Qin Tu and his group of more than 1 people had already rumbled through the town.
Everyone in this small town was dumbfounded.
They have never seen such an awesome cavalry, and they have heard of a cavalry team of 1 people.
But these more than 1 people still have two horses each. Not to mention that this is the first time they have seen such cavalry, they have never even heard of it before.
What's more, these people are all alien faces with black eyes and yellow skin!
The people in this small town of the Holy Roman Empire are all stupid, have we been invaded?
But I didn’t hear that the Holy Roman Empire was at war with other countries. No, it was said a few days ago that it sent [-] soldiers to the Byzantine Empire to help them resist the invasion of the Easterners.
Could it be that these black-eyed and yellow-skinned people were the orientals who invaded the Byzantine Empire?
But how did they come to us?
The mayor of the small town reacted much faster than these ordinary people. He thought that the direction of these alien-faced troops was the direction where the Holy Roman Empire troops left just now!
He immediately greeted several residents of the town who had horses, and followed him to the road to check the situation.
Needless to say, the five thousand soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire who were still showing off in their small town just now were all turned into corpses, lying less than ten miles away from their small town.
Those who came here with the mayor to check the situation, including the mayor of the small town with the title of baron, were all frightened by the hell-like scene, and a cowardly man ran back on his horse with a groan in fright. out of town.
The mayor of the baron suppressed the fear in his heart and told the others to go back to the town first. He called his servants to cross the battlefield and rush towards the capital Vienna. He had to report the situation here as soon as possible.
Such a big thing happened next to his small town, it's too frightening, I must let my king know about it as soon as possible!
The ghost knows how many people from the east came, whether they will turn around and come here in their own small town for a while!
It was already night when the mayor of the small town ran into the capital and was summoned by Frederick I to inquire about the situation after reporting layer by layer.
By the time the shocked Frederick I sent the guards from the imperial capital to check the situation, Qin Tu had already led [-] Victory Battalion soldiers hundreds of miles away from the battlefield.
The palace of the Holy Roman Empire is in chaos now, and many ministers are arguing endlessly. Some people want Frederick I to send a large army to hunt down those eastern cavalry and avenge the dead imperial soldiers.
Some other ministers resolutely opposed it, saying that those Easterners could send more than 1 cavalry to fight to a place not far from the emperor without knowing it. Who knows if there are Eastern troops from other places.
The most urgent task now is to call the imperial soldiers to the imperial capital as soon as possible to strengthen the guards of the imperial capital. What if all the soldiers are discharged and those orientals suddenly appear to attack the imperial capital?
Frederick I was also one head and two older at this time.
Those Easterners were clearly at war with the Byzantines, so how could they suddenly come to our Holy Empire?
At this time, the old Duke Sharon, who was very prestigious in the Holy Roman Empire Army, signaled him that he had something to say.
The ministers who were arguing, seeing that the Duke of Sharon had something to say, stopped their quarrel and quieted down, listening to what the old grand duke who was very prestigious in the Holy Roman Empire had to say.
Sharon looked at Frederick I and sighed: "Your Majesty, I am worried that those Easterners already know that we have reached a cooperation with Byzantium, and they entered our Holy Roman Empire without anyone knowing it, just to steal That half of the commission."
Frederick I was very puzzled: "Grand Duke Sharon, even if those Easterners know that we have an agreement with Byzantium.
But we have already sent a hundred thousand troops, even if they know about it, they should talk to us and beg us not to participate.
How dare they send troops to our empire at this time, killing our empire's soldiers to provoke! "
The Duke of Sharon shook his head, glanced at Frederick I, and then turned his head to glance at the group of ministers around him: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, maybe I have a problem with my judgment when I am old, and I very much hope that it is mine. Judgment went wrong."
He turned back to look at Frederick I again, his wrinkled face twitched, and finally said with difficulty:
"My guess is that this Eastern army is very powerful, and they don't care about dealing with the Byzantine Empire at all.
Still adding the Holy Roman Empire to deal with it together, I asked Robert Jr., who went to check the battlefield, about the situation on the battlefield.
That fight was pretty clean, I mean, it was a one-sided carnage!
Our 1 troops of the Holy Roman Empire seemed to be killed without effective resistance to the more than [-] Eastern troops.
We all know the fighting power of these five thousand soldiers, even the best army of our Holy Roman Empire can't do that.
I think our empire may be in big trouble this time! "
In the meeting hall of the Palace of the Holy Roman Empire, Sharon's words could be heard instantly, and the silence was terrifying.
Frederick I and a group of ministers all looked in surprise at the Grand Duke Sharon, known as the God of War of the Holy Roman Empire.
They couldn't believe that Grand Duke Sharon, who had always been the idol of the empire's generals, would say such dejected words. Could it be that the God of War is really old?
Frederick I couldn't believe his ears, and opened his mouth: "Your Excellency Sharon, do you really think those Easterners can be so powerful? Even if our Holy Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire join forces, they can handle it?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I think we'd better send people to bring gifts and go to those Easterners to sue for peace and ask them to forgive us for our previous unfriendly actions. I think this is our last chance, because they are just robbing us this time. Taking those commissions, I didn't call back."
Sha Long's last words directly exploded the meeting hall.
A group of people waited to recover from the shock just now, and many people began to wonder if the Grand Duke Shalong had lost his mind. We are the overlords of Europe, and you actually asked us to surrender!
At this moment, Earl Carolingian, the leader of the younger generation of generals, suddenly stood up and accused Sharon, saying:
"Grand Duke Shalong, you have always been my idol and it has never changed. You were before, you will be in the future, and you will still be until the day I die.
But Your Excellency, although I respect you, time is not forgiving. What you said just now makes me feel that you are indeed old now.
Losing the pride of fighting for honor, I don't agree to seek peace with those Easterners, my knight's glory does not allow me to do that! "
What Carolin said made Duke Sharon's face flush with anger, but having been in a high position for decades prevented him from expressing his unhappiness immediately.
Glancing at the Earl named Carolingian, Sharon knew very well what was going on with the Earl named Carolingian.
This kid is the distant nephew of King Frederick I. Although he has some brains, it is impossible for him to obtain the title of earl with his little ability. It is only because of his blood that he was promoted so quickly.
And this Caroline, because of his royal blood, was flattered by many people and said that he is the leader of the younger generation. Who knows that others have not believed it, but this kid has already firmly believed it.
All day long, he pretends to be the No. 1 of the younger generation of the Holy Roman Empire, as if the empire would be over immediately without him.
After calming down his emotions, he raised his eyes and glanced at King Frederick I, seeing that the king whom he had always been loyal to had not reprimanded him for being humiliated by his nephew, as if what had happened just now had never happened at all.
Sha Long suddenly realized it!
No. 1 among the young generals, such a young hero, these are all intentionally created by their imperial family.
The purpose is to keep the army in the hands of the royal family as much as possible, weaken the imperial royal family's dependence on the kingdoms and imperial generals below, so as to strengthen the control over the kingdoms and ministers below.
After thinking about this, Sharon didn't feel any anger. Every king of the empire did such a thing. It's no surprise, but he was really old, and now he found out that there was such a thing as Carolingian.
After thinking about these things, Sha Long felt that it was time for him to leave the position he had been sitting in for a long time.
