That's it.
Edward wanted to use the shock effect caused by his own musket shooting to make the opponent feel scared, and then use this round of charge to completely defeat the enemy. otbnkotgt It stands to reason that this tactic is indeed possible.
Although it's not very high, it's not completely impossible.
Thinking of this, Edward, the captain of the cavalry company, was very excited.
Thinking about it, many of those bastards at the same time as him had become regimental commanders and deputy regimental commanders.
Some of the more outstanding ones even became reserve commanders of the regiment.
Because William was so important to the regiment.
The military power is relatively tight, so currently except for himself, his father King Otto, and his most trusted general Little John.
The Hereford family no longer has a fourth leader with real power.
Several outstanding leaders are currently acting as deputy corps commanders.
It seems a bit unfair.
However, their status was already very enviable to Edward.
Although as a member of the first officer training class.
But Edward has no other advantages besides that.
First of all, he was not from the Hereford family territory, but from a mercenary background.
This made him somewhat out of place in the Old Praetorian Guard system.
Secondly, he did not participate in William's defense of the Vistula Fortress, nor did he participate in the subsequent conquest of Novgorod.
Finally, he did not participate in the expedition to the New World.
Most of the Hereford officers were because of this.
Three wars were promoted.
But he was very regretful, either because he was sick or because he did not choose his company during the war.
All in all, this guy was like this, and he spent several years in a very depressed state.
When the Hereford family's army expanded, they immediately cried and made a statement.
They transferred from the Russian Guards to the Polotsk Guards directly under William, and expected to be able to serve in the newly formed Guards. achieve better development in the military.
He originally thought that the Russian Guards had four legions, so how could the Polotsk Guards also have four legions?
When it expanded, how could he, as a veteran officer, fall into one?
battalion commander.
Even with a little merit or something, it's not impossible to get the regiment commander.
It's just a pity that he thinks so but does not represent the kings of the Hereford family.
Despite facing war, the Hereford family chose to expand their army, adding new troops to the original five regiments of the Guards.
And because the Polotsk Guards and the Russian Guards are two systems, the promotions of both sides are not uniform.
The Russian Guards, which has four Guards regiments, has expanded its strength four times that of the Polotsk Guards.
The number of extra official positions was also four times that of the Polotsk Guards.
Therefore, Edward was very happy not to be selected and became the remaining person.
What a tragedy.
Well, no, that's a tragedy.
Nothing else to say.
That's it, Edward's depression has no way to vent, he can only continue to look for opportunities to climb up.
Eventually, the opportunity was found.
That's the new, experimental army.
Or join the already very popular Chasseur Company.
Of course, Chasseurs are also very fashionable and popular units at the moment.
With Edward's qualifications, he could join the Chasseur Company, but he would never be the company commander.
The other is to enter other experimental armies.
Just like the current pistol cavalry.

Suffice it to say, this is quite a gamble.
The gamble is whether these experimental units are actually effective.
If they were indeed effective, then as one of the first officers in the new branch of the military, he would have received merit and then promotion.
However, if these soldiers are all scum, then his time over the past few years will be in vain.
So, it was a gamble and obviously, now, Edward got it right.
In the past few days, the outstanding performance of the pistol cavalry in actual combat has fully proved the actual combat value of this unit.
As long as this war ends smoothly.
His military rank will most likely be promoted.
With this qualification, the road to promotion and wealth will be much smoother in the future.
However, Edward is not satisfied with this.
Yes, although he has already received this credit, Edward is still hungry for more.
He can guarantee that after seeing the powerful strength of the pistol cavalry, the Guards will definitely form more pistol cavalry units.
When the time comes, I can become a battalion commander or something like that.
"That's it.
If you want to really grasp this point, you must win this victory and break through 800 with 100 riders.
Although it is not an amazing record, it can be boasted.
With this qualification, his promotion is almost certain.
Edward thought in his heart.
Very happy to charge forward.
It's just a pity that the other party is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Seeing that our own troops have lost so much.
The Carpathian hussars did not feel fear, nor did they collapse and flee because of this round of charge.
These guys, in turn, roared angrily and charged towards the enemy.
This was beyond Edward's expectation.
The muskets in their hands had already fired one round, and now it was too late to reload.
"Draw the sword" In a hurry, Edward could only issue such an order.
Unfortunately, although the long-range shooting capabilities were enhanced, the melee combat capabilities of these cavalry were slightly inferior to those of these enemies.
Especially the hasty replacement of weapons made the soldiers panic and upset.
In this case, the Carpathian hussars, who were the first to encounter, had more numbers and a wider range, naturally gained a huge advantage.
After just one confrontation, a dozen soldiers at the front fell into a pool of blood.
At the same time, the opponent was still using its wider array to surround the pistol cavalry troops led by Edward.
Under attack from three sides, the pistol cavalry were almost in chaos.
"Damn, bastard, are you saying that I'm going to die here?
Are you saying that my life is over like this?"
He watched the soldiers fall in front of him, and saw that the number of enemies around him was getting larger and larger.
Edward almost yelled angrily.
Regret, anger, and even despair continued to swell in his heart, making him want to roar wildly and then start fighting crazily.
The sharp saber was raised high and swung down suddenly.
Heads and broken limbs were scattered everywhere.
To be honest, this is the most appropriate and common state of the cavalry battlefield in this era.
Just before Edward's company was about to be wiped out, there were bursts of horse hooves all around, followed by more intensive gunfire than before.
Edward, whose mind was tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the gunshot.
Reinforcements finally arrived.
The vanguard force is the other two companies of pistol cavalry.
In this era, only cavalry equipped with epoch-making weapons such as revolvers could fire such a dense barrage in such a short period of time.

With these guys here, you will be safe.
Edward, who breathed a sigh of relief, felt his eyes darken, and then he lost his strength and fainted.
That was it, the encounter was over.
Nearly eight hundred Carpathian hussars were almost completely wiped out.
They surrounded others and were defended in turn.
The entangled cavalry could hardly escape.
After this disastrous defeat, the number of hussars under the emperor's command dropped to more than a thousand.
He no longer dared to fight with the Hereford family's cavalry.
This was too luxury for them.
After this cavalry battle, Kalman IV somewhat understood what kind of enemy he was going to face.
In a sense, the Hereford family army, which numbered no more than 70,000, was the strongest and most terrifying opponent he had ever encountered.
The emperor slightly regretted his decision to fight William.
But only a little bit.
Now that you have made up your mind, you must strengthen your faith and overcome all difficulties to win.
The emperor had a premonition that this upcoming battle would be a huge challenge for him, but at the same time, it was also a huge opportunity and glory.
If he can win, then he will receive greater glory and rewards than any war he has participated in before.
The entire empire, and even the entire human world, will crouch at his feet.
When the time comes, he will really have the ability to surpass all previous emperors of the empire and truly unify the entire empire under his own banner.
Thinking of this, Kalman IV, who was already over 50 years old, was still too excited to contain himself.
Compared with these honors, these rewards, and a little bit of danger, they are nothing.
What's more, the most important thing is that no matter what, the emperor still looked down on William von Hereford, a young man who had just turned twenty.
No matter what, he didn't think he would lose to such a guy At the same time, before the Great War, Wilhelm von Hereford was thinking much the same as Emperor Kalmann IV.
"We've finally come to this point.
It's great.
Yes, we've finally come to this point."
William smiled almost nervously, more like making a scary grimace than a smile.
His facial muscles almost uncontrollably showed an expression that looked like a "smile".
"Then, after the victory of this war, everything will go on as I thought."
William thought in his heart.
Before the people around him were scared by his smile and wanted to persuade and care about him, William's expression had returned to normal.
It was completely impossible to tell how crazy he had just been. 160420oshow7:
