The Crescent of the Sultan

Chapter 97 Sudan’s Experiment

The equipment provided by Selim was quickly installed in the Polish army, but among this batch of equipment, the equipment from the Sipasi Cavalry made many Polish senior officials somewhat silent.

This batch of equipment is very similar to their hussars, because both the Sipasi cavalry and the Polish hussars actually learned from the Hungarian cavalry.

"So, do you think we are reorganizing a winged cavalry?"

August Kazimierzki asked a little absentmindedly. He touched the pattern of the armor in front of him and thought of his grandfather.

This is why August Kazimierzski misses the Hussars, as his grandfather once served in this unit.

However, since the Great Northern War, Poland under the rule of the "strongman" August was severely defeated by Sweden. After being completely defeated by Karl XII, the Hussars completely withdrew from the stage of history.

Heavy cavalry seems to be no longer suitable for the times, and pistol cavalry is the new ruler.

Kosciuszko said immediately.

"Why not regroup? August Kazimierzky, you have to understand that this is a symbol of our past glory.

As for the Sultan’s intention, don’t you understand?

He wants to use us to see if pistol cavalry and heavy cavalry can be used together? "

Kosciuszko pointed to the carbines and sabers piled on the ground, pouted towards the room on one side, and whispered.

"Otherwise, why send people at all to send weapons? It's better to say they are military observers than reserve officers of the Ottoman Empire."

As for Alandar Mustafa Pasha in the room, he didn't even pay attention to what the Poles in the VIP room were saying.

Before coming, the Sultan told him that everything had been taken care of. His task was to take these officers of the Ottoman Empire to practice how to use the pistol cavalry in conjunction with the heavy cavalry.

As for whether this idea was feasible, Alandar Mustafa Pasha was not worried, because the method of using cavalry was the result of discussions between Napoleon and the Sultan.

Although Alandar Mustafa Pasha did not know much about the Sudan's level, after all, the Sudan had fought against the Austrians throughout the war, and their strength was still four to five times that of the Austrians.

But Napoleon's record was real, which convinced Alandar Mustafa Pasha.

This means that Emperor Sai did not hear the voice of Alandar Mustafa. Otherwise, let him see what it means to use pistol cavalry and heavy cavalry in conjunction.

Although this plan is indeed Napoleon's creation in the original time and space, the key point is that hasn't it happened yet?

So Emperor Sai naturally provided this idea for the opponent,

In fact, lances are not a widely used weapon in Europe. They are mostly found in Poland and the Balkans.

Especially after the emergence of the spring wheel pistol, the lance further declined. It was not until the late Napoleonic era in the original time and space that the lance once again showed its power.

What Selim has to do is to reproduce it in advance. The cuirassiers can be equipped with lances, muskets and fixed knives at the same time.

You asked whether horses could carry loads. This is why Selim asked the Poles for experiments.

Their horses are of good quality, their soldiers have good riding skills, they have a tradition of using lances, and they also have many old men who have served in the Hussars.

Selim could not have found a better subject in Europe than Poland.

The discussion in the VIP room continued, and finally the Polish top brass decided to establish a cavalry force of 3,000 people.

The old Polish Hussars, originally used as a guard of honor for the royal family, had their designation revoked, and the title of Hussars was given to this newly established cavalry unit.

Despite pressure from the Ottoman Sultan, Kosciuszko had to hand over part of his command to the Turk in the room and his officers.

But Kosciuszko is not too worried. Firstly, in this newly formed army, many of the soldiers are veterans of the Hussars. They are extremely loyal to Poland. Secondly, Kosciuszko Look, Alandhar Mustafa Pasha's use of cavalry is far superior to him.

Such a loyal and powerful force is exactly what Kosciuszko needs now.

On April 11, 1790, the Austrian army had captured Krakow, and Franz. Leonhardt. Feng. Mercy and Joseph. Feng. Feldmeister is the commander and chief of staff of this army.

The former is good at attacking quickly and has a fierce style, while the latter combines the multiple identities of tactician, engineer and geographer, and its defensive tactics are very good.

Leopold II has finally learned the lesson of his predecessor, Joseph, and must never let laymen guide experts.

Franz. Leonhardt. Feng. Mercy and Joseph. Feng. Feldmeister was currently in the Wawel Cathedral, being led by the priest to visit Sobieski's grave.

I have to say that even after being buried. The decoration here still has the style of the hero during his lifetime.

Franz. Leonhardt. Feng. Mercy picked up a saber and drew it.

The saber appears to have been crafted with great care, displaying ornate decoration and superior craftsmanship.

The blade is made of fine steel, the overall length is moderate, and the blade is slender and elegant.

The back of the blade is slightly curved, adding a sense of streamline to the blade.

The handle is made of solid wood or ivory and is finely carved and decorated. The carved patterns are detailed and exquisite, including curly patterns, animals, battles or historical scenes.

Inlaid with precious gems or semi-precious stones, it sparkles charmingly under the light.

Both sides of the handle are covered with fine and comfortable leather or fabric to increase the comfort and stability of holding.

There is a gorgeous decorative button at the end of the handle, which symbolizes power, glory and family inheritance.

The scabbard complements the blade and is also beautifully decorated, covered with detailed patterns and metal decorations inlaid with gems, silk embroidery or gold tassels, making the entire knife even more gorgeous and eye-catching.

When Franz. Leonhardt. Feng. When Mercy tried to put the blade back into its scabbard, he caught a glimpse of an inscription.

"Venimus. Vidimu s. Deus vicit." (To the effect of "We come, we see, the victory belongs to God")"

The priest on the side whispered at this time.

"General, this is a gift given to our king by Count Ernst Rudiger von on behalf of the then Emperor Leopold I after the battle in 1683. It symbolizes the friendship between Poland and the Habsburg family. "

Joseph. Feng. Feldmeister from Franz. Leonhardt. Feng. Mercy took the saber, put it back on the table, and said.

"Don't worry, Father, Austria has never forgotten Poland's help. We are here just to help the Polish people not be oppressed."

After saying that, the two left immediately.

As for who the Poles were oppressed by, the Polish landowners or the coming Prussia, it is hard to say.

Anyway, Austria is only responsible for saving.

As for Russia, the tsarist government is in a hurry for money. If it can tax taxes until twenty years later, this is oppression. This is the tsar's deep love for this land.
