C2815 Cavalry Raid! (1/2)

The distance from Salon to Sedan was less than 70 kilometers, and the distance from Sedan to sini was only 15 kilometers!

Eighty-five kilometers was only a day's time for the cavalry, and the equipment Alfred had brought with him had been carefully selected for this mission.

Abandoning all cannons and heavy machine guns, each cavalry carried a rifle and 30 rounds of bullets, while the Soldier rations only had enough to eat for two days, and the horse material relied entirely on supplies along the way.

Alfred was talking about supplies along the way, and he had already prepared to fight for them. If there were not enough alfalfa grass to feed the horses, he would eat the young wheat field, and whatever the people ate would be eaten by the war horses!

However, none of the guards carried two sabers, and none of them could take off the metal chest armor they were wearing.

From this, it could be seen that Alfred was preparing for a surprise attack that focused mainly on speed, and he had even found a way to engage in close combat with the bayonet!

In the nineteenth century, the main fighting style of the cavalry soldiers did not change much. Although they were equipped with rifles, most of the time, people still relied on the speed of their horses to attack.

In an era when heavy machine guns were not common, relying on a single soldier's rifle to form a firepower net was simply unable to stop the cavalry army. At that time, relying on the trampling of horses and the sabers of cavalry would be enough to easily reap lives.

The number of people next to Xiao Letian did not exceed 2000, and the number should be much less than that, because everyone knew that Xiao Letian had a lot of officers under his command. Their most important mission this time was to observe and learn.

Halfway through, if Xiao Letian had a thousand people by his side, that would already be incredible!

Moreover, Alfred knew very well that, due to diplomatic reasons, the Belgium would never allow the Prussian army to enter the country. During this war, the Belgium had always maintained its neutrality.

In other words, the responsibility of protecting Xiao Letian rested with the army of the Belgium, but how could the army of the Belgium fight against them? Alfred snorted.

Ten thousand elite cavalry soldiers raiding a small town fifteen kilometers away from the border. This kind of mission could be said to be coming in the morning and evening, perhaps they would be able to return safely in half a day.

Nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about!

Most importantly, Xiao Letian did not know that his disciple had already betrayed him, that he was unprepared for battle, and that his army held the absolute advantage. If he still could not win in this battle, then Alfred might as well commit suicide.

The tide of cavalrymen pressed towards the north like black dragons in the night sky. Countless villagers used their furniture to prop up their doors in fear. The sound of horses' hooves on the street was deafening, and the long line seemed to be endless.

”My God, how many people are out there? Why isn't it over yet? Wife, quickly hide your daughter in the cellar, hurry … ”

The frightened man took out his axe. He knew that it was useless, but as the head of the family, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

The town was deathly still, and Alfred's heart sank. He could still remember the war that had just started. Just over a month ago, when his troops had passed through these villages, they had been treated like celebrities.

Back then, countless citizens rushed out to give the army wine, bread, flowers, and cheers!

The citizens were waiting for the news of the victory of the army, but they didn't expect that after just over a month, the war had already been ruined to this degree. What followed were the disappointment and fear of the citizens.

Failure was a virus plague. It could turn a disciplined Iron Army into bandits, or turn a patriotic citizen into a cold passerby.

Of course, Alfred knew what these defeated soldiers had done.

These people were completely terrified!
