But Werner undoubtedly took a great risk, and the seven hundred enemies he had to face were no worse than the hundred royal guards under his command in terms of combat effectiveness, and the current enemy strength was seven times his!
"Royal Guard!
The eagle of Prussia, the defender of the royal family, the pride of the kingdom!
” Werner chanted the slogan of the Royal Guard, and then rushed to the forefront of the front line of a hundred Royal Guard cavalry.
Werner had his rifle in his hand, and in the Prussian cavalry code, cavalry used in close combat was to fire a round of ammunition at a distance of about two hundred meters from the enemy while attacking the enemy, and whether a second round of fire was to be fired afterwards was to be ordered by the commander on the spot.
Werner's eyes were fixed on the body of an enemy opposite, although Werner couldn't see what the enemy looked like, but he knew that the enemy on the other side was his enemy, although that person was also Prussian, but it was not enough for Werner to stop pulling the trigger.
When he was still one hundred and fifty meters away from the enemy, Werner decisively pulled the trigger on the mounted gun, and the huge recoil made Werner's arm shock, but then Werner decisively threw away the rifle in his hand and drew the saber hanging on the other side of the horse's back and continued to charge towards the enemy.
The cavalry of the Royal Guard who followed behind Werner behaved in the same way as their commander, and although many of them were knocked off their horses after a round of shooting, the enemy did not slow down their horses and continued to charge towards Werner and the others.
A fierce battle broke out on this small plain, and a hundred royal guards were surrounded by these enemies, and these enemies seemed to be focused on destroying the royal guard cavalry under Werner's command, and the enemy army did not divide their forces against the second group of men and horses protecting Anna's carriage, but surrounded Werner and the hundred cavalry under his command.
I don't know how long the fight lasted.
Of course, Werner didn't know whether the blood was his own or the enemy's, but at the moment he didn't care about the source of the blood, but he kept waving the saber in his hand like a machine and slashing towards the enemy.
"Captain!
The casualties of the brethren were too great!
Let's break through immediately!
” At that moment, a voice came from not far from Werner's side.
And this voice also woke up Werner, who was immersed in the killing.
"What nonsense!
Let the brothers hold on!
Our reinforcements are coming soon!
” Just as Werner finished answering this sentence and continued to attack the seemingly inexhaustible enemy in front of him, he saw a huge sound coming from both sides of the battlefield "Brethren of the Royal Guard!
We are all Prussians!
We are not here to commit suicide among our compatriots!
I'm here for the future of Prussia!
The future of Prussia must not be handed over to an Austrian!
Think of the Prussian soldiers who died tragically at the hands of the Austrians over the years!
We can't play for the tiger anymore!
That damned Austrian woman doesn't deserve to be the queen of Prussia!
” These words were spoken by Brandon's men, and the purpose was undoubtedly to break the morale of the royal guard.
Sure enough, when Werner's royal guards heard that these people, who seemed to be their enemies, could actually speak Prussian in a pure Brandenburg accent, everyone was a little distracted for a moment.
The hundred people who had been arranged by Blanton to his side before, and now there were eighty people who had been arranged by Blanton to repeat the words just now around the battlefield.
Although the 200 royal guards guarding Anna were all Werner's trusted men, this did not mean that they had any affection for the Austrians.
On the contrary, because of the apparently humiliating treatment they had encountered when they entered Vienna, it was obviously impossible for the royal guards to have no opinion of the Austrians in their hearts.
But then Werner's words calmed the morale of the military who seemed to be a little agitated, and only Werner was heard shouting; "Fuck it!
Brethren, Austria has been defeated by us Prussia, just as there are Poles and Danes among us.
Maybe there will be Austrians among our brethren in the future!
Do we discriminate against Austrians just because of their nationality?
Don't forget, our old Marshal Saito, his mother was still Austrian!
” The old Marshal Saito that Werner is talking about is the first fierce general under Frederick the Great - Marshal Ziten!
As the former first fierce general of Prussia, Marshal Ziten can be said to be an idol in the hearts of many Prussian soldiers, and the mother of the old Marshal Saito is a Prussian with Austrian ancestry!
After Europe entered the 16th century, similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in Chinese history, a considerable number of nobles and generals who were unsuccessful in their own countries chose to go to other countries.
And there are many people in the Prussian top whose ancestors are from other countries.
It can be said that Prussia was originally a new country, and it only went through more than a hundred years from the Brandenburg vassal states to the prosperity of Prussia, and in this hundred years, attack and annexation became the theme song of Prussia on the road to prosperity, and even said that pure Prussians did not exist in Prussia!
Don't forget that William's mother was Louise from Hesse, could it be said that William was a man of pure Prussian blood!
The nationalism that Wilhelm proposed in Prussia was not a narrow Prussian, but a Germanic nationalism that included most of Central Europe!
The Germanic peoples are obviously not only Prussians, but also the Scandinavians, the English, the Frisian and the Germans who evolved from the Germanic peoples after the great migration of peoples thousands of years ago.

Including the Dutch, Danes, Norwegians, Bohemians, some Austrians, etc., all can be said to be Germanic, and the history of Germanic people can be traced back to the Gothic Kingdom, the Frankish Kingdom, and the Lombard Kingdom, so it can be said that Wilhelm's ambition was quite large.
For he used only the concept of a Germanic people, showing that Prussia had historically had indisputable sovereignty over Denmark, Northern Italy, and the whole of Central Europe!
Werner's hand kept rising and falling, and his heart was silently muttering, the current situation could already be said to be extremely critical, and the hundred royal guards cavalry who followed him were now less than forty people.
And depending on the situation, it won't even take half an hour for them to be wiped out.
Just when Werner kept looking into the distance, he only heard a shout from a distance, and then after a while, he saw a large number of cavalry suddenly appear on the hillside not far away, these cavalrymen were wearing conspicuous black coats like death, but the moment he saw these people appear, Werner's heart immediately became steady.
These people in black coats are the people sent by Louise to protect Anna in secret, and in order to distinguish between friend and foe, these people who secretly protect Anna's convoy wear black coats.
Seeing these people suddenly emerge from the hillside not far away, Blanton's face instantly fell.
You must know that according to the previous agreement between him and Dessau, if he can wipe out the guards of Anna, then the five hundred men sent by Dessau do not need to join the battlefield at all, of course, whether Blanton needs support depends on whether he wants to light the wolf smoke.
Originally, Blanton thought that he didn't need Dessau's help at all, and Blanton even swore frankly to Dessau, but now with the appearance of enemy reinforcements, Blanton's heart sank, because he knew that he might have to break his promise.
"Quick, light these things!"
As he spoke, Blanton took out a black mass from his bosom and handed it to a person beside him, and then Blanton not only ordered the eighty cavalrymen who had been sent out to play the embattled trick to return to defense immediately, but also immediately took out three command flags from the side of his horse and raised them.
Blanton's horse had eight flags, each of which represented a hundred of his soldiers, and sure enough, after noticing that Blanton had raised the three-pole flag, three hundred of the dead soldiers who had been wandering around the periphery of the battlefield seemed to be a little unhelpful, and immediately broke away from the ranks and rushed towards Blanton's main formation.
Seeing that 300 men had returned to the defense, Blanton once again raised two flags and waved them forward, which caused 200 of the enemy besieging Werner to rush towards the location of Anna's carriage.
In this way, there are only more than 100 enemies left around Werner, but there are only about 30 of Werner's men left, even though the enemy is only in his early 100s, but for Werner, the enemy still has a great advantage.
Werner's 500 reinforcements did not immediately come to Werner's aid after appearing on the edge of the battlefield, but rushed towards the location of Anna's carriage, and it was clear that for these people, protecting Anna's safety was the first priority.
Seeing that the situation did not develop as he expected, Blanton was very relieved, to be honest, when he saw the enemy reinforcements appear, what he was most afraid of was that the enemy would come to Werner's aid, and then defeat his besieging Werner's men and horses.
But when Blanton saw that under the protection of five hundred reinforcements, Anna's carriage began to slowly retreat regardless of the safety of Warner and others, Blanton's heart couldn't be happier.
