Chapter 12 First Battle
() "Die, intruder!"
"Roma, are you scared? It's still too late to escape, hahaha!"
"We know that you don't even have a cannon. In a moment, our cannon will blast you to pieces, and not even ashes will be left!"
"Brothers, Poles, Ukrainians, all the brave warriors who stand here today to fight for our homeland!"
A rugged Pole stood above the cannon holding an ax in one hand and a sword in the other. He turned back and looked at their army, his loud voice filled with enthusiasm.
"I am a farmer from the north. In the past, I had my own farmland, my own beautiful family, strong horses, and a nagging wife who loved me! But now, I have nothing.
And homeless! It’s those Romans! They came to our village
Zhuang, burned all my things and took away my wife! Yes, I hate all the Romans, all the Ritomirs, have you seen the tragedy that happened to me? Taking advantage of this
Before tragedy happens to you, let us be brave and kill all the Romans!"
"Kill all the Romans!!!"
The Pole raised his arms and shouted: "Our ancestors were Poles who defeated the Mongols, right?"
The cry of defeating the Mongols resonated with the Poles, and the turbulent public sentiment was pushed to its peak at this time. It was obvious that the Poles were proud that their ancestors could fight the Mongols on the plains of Eastern Europe.
"While those cowardly Romans were hiding and trembling behind the city walls, we were fighting the Mongols on the northern land. When those cowardly Romans were sending gifts and begging for mercy to the Mongols, we were carrying out an unyielding struggle.
While those Romans were groveling, we were still unyieldingly continuing our resistance, right?"
"Yes!!!" "That's right!" "Kill all those cowardly Romans!"
"Children of brave Polish knights, I can tell you that those Romans even gave hundreds of their women to the Mongols [cao] to sleep with the pagans. By the way, their women were also given to us to sleep with.
Passed! At the same time, Poles, your ancestors once defeated the Mongols, all the invading Mongols! We have reason to lose to these Mongols.
Human bullshit Romans! There is no reason! Let us crush the balls of those Romans today, let them scream like women under our swords, cry, beg for mercy, and after killing them all, seize their
Eagle flag, cut off their heads and hang them on the roadside! Let passers-by see who is the owner of this land, let them see clearly, this is the price for offending us!"
Angry anger burned in my chest. The feeling of anger was as if some ignorant foreigner pointed at our noses and said, look, those Chinese people lost tens of thousands of people during World War II.
It's rubbish to kill Japanese people who are less than a thousand. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, tens of thousands of people were killed.
Thousands of Han people can't defeat more than a thousand Manchus. They are really cowardly. What's even more disgusting is that these Han men didn't resist and even offered their wives and daughters to the Qing army! What's even more hateful is that they didn't resist.
, these Poles actually repeated what they just said in deliberately broken Greek.
The Poles opposite were shouting and laughing.
"Romans, you all heard it!"
With red eyes, I reined in the horse in front of the frontline soldiers. The horse turned uneasily under my crotch and controlled the horse. My anger made me want to rush over and chop off the heads of the group of people who were insulting the Polish countrymen.
"This is how our Rome looks to the Poles!"
"A bunch of trash that's even worse than them!"
"During the Mongols' Western Expeditions, they were just useless remnants hiding behind the city walls!
"A coward who only uses women to buy peace is useless!"
"Sons of Rome, are we really like this? Answer me!"
"no!!!"
【jian】Yin plundering, are they more rubbish than those Polish hussars who are not even rubbish?
Are you kidding me? Once the more than two thousand soldiers under my command came to the forefront and it was related to the honor of the Romans, they never did anything like that. Look at their group of Polish landowners who ran away after they caused trouble.
Even with the appearance of the figure, you still want me to say who is the coward!?
From our predecessor to 1718, we fought many wars with the Mongols and pagans on the eastern battlefield. It can be said that there is no place in Anatolia that is not stained with the blood of Romans and pagans!
Look at the bright red shirt and cape I’m wearing!
The emperor died on the battlefield, and the prince died for his country!
The Roman royal family could be tyrants and lunatics, but no one was a coward!
And the faces I recognize come to mind, the old scumbag, the cheap daddy, Alexander, the old man Sviatos, Uncle Dzimischia, Cleisthenes, none of these people are cowards!
"Yes! None of us Romans are cowards! From Constantinople to Damascus, we fought hard for many years before we once again expanded the territory of the empire to what it is today! In the east, all the pagans wanted to hear
Rome trembles, living under the shadow of our two-headed eagle, but these waves
Lan Lao has been trapped in the farmland for so long that they have forgotten the outside world! Today let us teach them what a Roman living in this world looks like! And what better way than to use death?
A lesson that is still fresh in people's minds! Soldiers, let us kill here today!"
"A killing spree!" "A killing spree!!" "A killing spree!!!!"
Listening to the hysterical shouts of the soldiers, I gave the order.
"Fire the bayonet!"
"Check, Flintstone!"
The orders were executed one by one. Looking at the impatient looks of the soldiers, and looking at the cannons set up by the Poles, I took the eagle flag that belonged to me from Leon.
I turned around and asked Leon: "My guard, can I trust you?"
"At your service at any time, Your Highness!" Leon's tone was very firm.
"Then go to the cuirassier battalion behind and wait for my order to charge."
Leon looked surprised: "Then what should you do?"
I pointed to the group of soldiers on the front line: "I have them."
The commander of the original cuirassier battalion was appointed as the cavalry commander, and then the signal for action was given to the chasseurs. I turned over and dismounted. Under the astonished eyes of the soldiers on the front line, I stood among them, holding the flag instead.
I stood between them in the position of an officer. Between hiding in the rear as a commander and staying on the front line as a pawn to boost morale, I chose the latter. Because this was not a large-scale battle.
In a conflict, there is not much a commander can do.
"Your Highness, for your safety, this is the front line and the most dangerous place!" Leon was stunned. He came over on horseback, sweating profusely.
"So?" I asked flatly.
"You can't stand here, it will endanger your life!"
"If I were greedy for life and afraid of death, I would not set foot on this land, but hide in Constantinople!"
"But…"
"Nothing! What the Padopoulos royal family can do, what the Karagounis royal family can do, why can't the Theofano family do it! You forgot, the pagans have been conquering Anatolia for forty years
During this period, my grandfather and great-grandfather were more or less named Theophano
The royal family of our family is on the front line with the soldiers in the face of war!" I interrupted Leon rudely. Seeing what he wanted to say, I raised my arms and called out the third generation royal family, Pardo.
The most famous saying of the Pros family is, "The royal family and the common people are together!"
The Padopoulos family in the 14th century was the first Roman royal family in the East that lost its heirs due to war, including the emperor and the prince. It was a sad family that lost all of its heirs in just forty years while defending Anatolia. But it was just right.
It was during the reign of this family that Rome once again defeated the pagan invasion in the east, occupied Bulgaria and Serbia in the west, and expanded its territory to the south of the Carpathians. At the same time, it also created the first royal stand.
The tradition of fighting with soldiers on the front line!
The full sentence of the Padopoulos family is, "If you don't even fight to defend your own honor and the glory of your empire, why should the common people fight to the death? In the face of war, the royal family should be with the common people.
Only then can the empire coexist with the Romans!"
Deafening cheers broke out among the soldiers, and at this time the shouts of the Romans completely drowned out all sounds.
“Romans and royalty!!!”
"Long live Rome!!!"
The Poles had artillery as their secret weapon, and I played the Royal Blood card!
Look at the soldiers around me who look like they've been injected with chicken blood. The effect is very good. If I were a cat and a dog standing here, I would never get such enthusiastic cheers, but who made the blood flowing in my body come from a tree that has been passed down for thousands of years?
Although the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty went to the people to experience the sufferings of the people and took advantage of them, who said we didn't make efforts and sacrifices in today's move?
The Byzantine double-headed eagle spreads its wings on the top of the flag. On the scarlet flag, in addition to the flag emblem, there is also a laurel wreath, which shows my royal status.
"Put the gun on your shoulder!"
I shouted: "Follow the two-headed eagle, Romans, and march on the enemy!"
"Swear to the death!"
