Under the order of Fred's death, the 100 cavalry of Schwarzburg took a desperate stance, and those antlers certainly limited the area of the cavalry attack, but the 100 cavalry charged collectively in a not wide street, which was still quite amazing.
As the Schwarzburg cavalry got closer and closer to the antlers, the Prussian troops guarding the antlers immediately opened fire on the cavalry at the order of the officer.
But the Schwarzburgers have a hundred cavalry, and of course these cavalry are not all cuirassiers, but as the personal soldiers of the Count of Schwarzburg, these cavalry are second to none in Schwarzburg in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness.
It was precisely because of the excellent armor that these cavalry were able to reduce the number of men by less than thirty under the several rounds of fire from the Prussian army, otherwise the three rounds of fire from the well-garrisoned one hundred Prussian troops alone would have reduced most of the hundred cavalry.
However, even though a quarter of the men were reduced, the desperate Schwarzburgers did not seem to care, and when they rushed to the Prussian line, the cavalry bypassed the antlers and rushed towards the wall of Prussian soldiers.
Being attacked by cavalry in close quarters is a situation that every infantry does not want to face, because if you don't raise your horse, those enemy odd soldiers may drop their sabers, and it is the impact of these cavalrymen's crotch horses that are enough to make the Prussian infantry in the front row feel as if they have been smashed hard in the chest with a sledgehammer, and even more so.
The Schwarzburg cavalry, sitting on horseback, raised their sabers and mercilessly slashed at the Prussian soldiers who stood in front of them.
On the other hand, they also stabbed the belly of the war horses under their crotch with the spurs on their feet to urge these war horses to continue to attack.
Soon, the Prussian formation was scattered by these Schwarzburg cavalry.
And the Schwarzburg cavalry, which was originally of 100 people, was reduced to less than 40 people.
"Palaud, you leave immediately, and I'll take the rest of the people to Maximilian's palace!"
After reopening the Prussian blockade, Felder immediately said to Palaud beside him, and Palaud nodded fiercely after hearing Fred's words, and then parted ways with Fred's three guards arranged for him.
The sound of gunfire in his ears made Freed not dare to stay here at all, and most of the 100 infantry in the rear to block the large force of the Prussian army had already suffered casualties, and they could not hold on for a long time.
Therefore, Freed immediately led the rest of the cavalry and rushed towards the emperor's palace in the city of Cologne.
The great movement between the Prussians and the Schwarzburgers soon spread throughout Cologne, and the inhabitants of Cologne sought out a place to hide as if they were facing a great enemy, and all the streets of Cologne could be described as deserted.
Except for those who received the Prussian army and the messengers of the various magnates who were galloping on their horses.
And this desolate situation undoubtedly made Palaud happy, because the lack of talent meant that he could find a place to hide so that his whereabouts would not be exposed in the first place.
Soon after, as Palaud arrived at a ghetto settlement, his eyes lit up when he saw a dilapidated house on the side of the street.
Then he said to the three guards behind him: "Get out of here at once.
By the way, take off your uniforms as soon as you leave, or you'll soon be exposed, and take this piece of mine away!
” Saying that, Palaude tore off the gorgeous coat made of silk on his body and handed it to the three guards, and when he heard Palaud's order, the three people looked a little embarrassed, as if they knew what the three people were worried about, Palaud hurriedly said: "We're aiming too big together, and being together only speeds up the time we get discovered.
Besides, I am the most loyal minister of the Earl, so what do you have to worry about?
I have another mission on my body, you go now, if you don't leave, it's too late, and after you leave, it's best to disperse immediately, and the war horses are better dispersed!
” Without waiting for the three guards to say anything more, Palaud drew a dagger from his trouser leg and tore his clothes to tatters, and then ignored the piles of garbage on the side of the streets of the ghetto, on which Palaud rolled himself dirty like a dog.
Seeing Palaud say this, the three guards finally stopped raising objections, and saw that they immediately continued to rush towards the distance with the war horses left by Palaud.
After the three guards left, Palaud pursed his lips with a look of disdain on his face, and then Palaud, who was covered in dirt, quickly got up from the garbage heap and walked into the dilapidated house on the side of the street.
Fortunately, God willing, there is no one in this dilapidated house, of course, this is a house rather than a pigsty-like existence, this house not only has broken walls, but even the ceiling is tattered, and it cannot shelter from the wind and rain at all.
But for Palaud, none of this was a problem, and the first priority was to survive like a beggar, because only then would the Prussians not be easily pulled out.
Palaud, who was huddled in the corner of the house, couldn't help but reach into his arms and touch the document, feeling a little relieved in his heart, but the strange smell on his body made Palaud, who had never suffered like this, feel a little disgusting, but fortunately, he knew that now was not the time for him to be hypocritical.
In fact, separating from Fredd is a good thing for Palaud.
As mentioned above, Palaud is a smart man, and a smart man will never put himself in a mortal situation, fundamentally, although Palaud swore to Feld that he would protect the document in his arms, but if there really was that day, then for the sake of his own life, Palaud would definitely give the document to the Prussians!
Therefore, Palaude, who was pregnant with Chinese pieces, was like feeling his own life-saving straw.
Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch, and while Palaud was hiding like a beggar, Fered also rushed to the door of Maximilian's palace.
Because the previous battle between Schwarzburg and Prussians made most of Cologne sound of gunfire, the gate of Maximilian Palace has been put under martial law, and hundreds of Cologne guards are on guard as if they are facing a great enemy.
And when Freed led dozens of bloodstained cavalry to the gate of the palace, they naturally attracted the attention of all the guards.
"Stop you now, or we'll shoot!"
A Cologne officer stood up and shouted at Fered and his party, and hearing the officer's words, Fered hurriedly shouted: "I am the Earl of Schwarzburg, I want to immediately ask to see His Majesty the Emperor, and ask Your Excellency to report to His Majesty the Emperor immediately that I have come to hand over a document to His Majesty the Emperor, and if His Majesty the Emperor does not accept it, then I will personally hand it over to another Majesty!"
Freed's words reached the officer's ears, and his words made the officer's face change dramatically.
Even if the officer was not a powerful person in Cologne, he knew that the current movement in Cologne was because the Prussians were dealing with the Swarzburgers.
But the man from Schwarzburg in front of him undoubtedly came to apply for Maximilian's protection, and he also mentioned a document, although the officer did not know what this document referred to, but it should be known that there were only two people in Cologne who were qualified to be called His Majesty, one was Maximilian, and the other was King Wilhelm of Prussia.
Therefore, the officer, who was not dull in his political sense, immediately rushed to the inside of the gate behind him.
After a while, when Maximilian heard the words of Feded relayed by the officer, Maximilian's face was already blue.
Truth be told, when Maximilian learned that the Prussians were doing something to the Swarzburgers, he not only wanted to help the Swarzburgers, but he even wished that the stupid count of Schwarzburg would die at the hands of the Prussians, because then something could be covered up.
But now, the stupid earl had come to the gate of the palace to ask to see him, and what was even more painful was that Fred had mentioned the document.
"Damn, how could I find such a stupid guy to conspire with great things, I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates!"

Maximilian secretly hated.
I'm afraid that what Maximilian didn't expect was that the words he inadvertently uttered in his heart were a wise quote from a certain game in later generations, and as this game spread all over the world, it became a sensational epigram.
At the same time, Maximilian also secretly hated the Prussian officers on the mission, not a single count of Schwarzburg could stop him, I really don't know how the Prussians won in these years of war!
However, time did not allow Maximilian to continue complaining, because of the threat of that document, even if Maximilian was unwilling, he had to ask the officer to bring Freed to him.
Fréd and his entourage entered Maximilian's palace, and this scene happened to be watched by Carlo who followed him, and Carlo's department, who had detoured before, did not succeed in stopping Fred, which is not to blame Carlo, after all, no one knew that Fréd's destination was the emperor's palace instead of the gate of Cologne.
Considering that since Freed could enter the emperor's palace, the attitude of the Colognes was naturally uncertain, and the Prussian army in the Cologne area was indeed more than Schwarzburg, but Cologne was different, in Cologne, Maximilian had the home advantage.
Therefore, Carlo, who did not dare to turn his face with Cologne without permission, personally led people to guard outside the palace, and on the other hand, he hurriedly sent his soldiers to report to Horn and William.
