Chapter 660 Sea of Flowers
With the population of Kalaika, it is theoretically feasible to detonate 100,000 troops, but given the organization level of the Indian state army at that time, these soldiers may not be able to be commanded in a unified manner.
And the theory is just a theory after all. The reality is that the troops staying behind will not cause much trouble to the Austrian army.
Black and gold flags, accompanied by the melodious "Army March", the neat queue slowly approached the enemy's position.
What is extremely incompatible with the cruel war full of gunpowder, gunpowder smoke and corpses is the unique lightness and poetry of Schubert's music.
(Schubert, an Austrian musician, is known as the "King of Song". He is not only the inheritor of the Viennese classical music tradition, but also the founder of Western European romantic music.
"Military March" is his 1822 work. )
Even though it is a bit weird, senior officials in Vienna like this kind of flashy music, so this is also one of the commonly used marches in the Austrian army.
If the church's war group fights alone, they will usually use highly religious music such as "Glory and Loyalty". After all, this thing can really reduce the feeling of guilt greatly.
On the other hand, the Austrian military music is too melodious, cheerful, and even a little joyful, making people want to dance rather than beat people after listening to it.
When I was studying Austrian military music before, I found that neither the "Army March" nor the later "Radetzky March" would feel out of place in a dance.
Every time I listen to it, I am reminded of Madara Uchiha’s words, “Do you also want to dance?”
"Glory and Loyalty Incense\u0026amp;Iron" is a piece of music from later generations, but there is no shortage of musical talents in Austria or Vienna.
As long as Franz gave the general tone and rhythm, the musicians could quickly compose a lot of scores and perform them live.
In fact, in terms of music, Franz also composed a lot of music, but it was just not suitable to be played out at this time. For example, "The Mass".
Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch. David Sassoon couldn't help but tremble all over when he saw the black and gold national flag. The incident of being imprisoned in a water cell and fed opium by Franz in Calcutta was still vivid in his mind.
Now when he met David Sassoon again, he couldn't help but pee, but he was worthy of being an old cunning man who had experienced many storms. He immediately told his family not to join the war and to follow Kieran Wasj.
Sure enough, as David Sassoon expected, the earth king who had previously boasted about Haikou and inflamed his youngest son's blood was the first to escape.
The two groups met again outside Boonpal City, and both parties smiled tacitly.
"Your Majesty Kieran, when do you plan to send us away?"
"Don't worry, I know what you're worried about. There are more than one port in Ka Lai Ka. I am the most trustworthy person. As long as the money is in place, I can send you away at any time."
But before Kieran Wasj finished speaking, the Austrian army that had rushed out of Bunpal rushed towards him.
This was far beyond Kieran Wasj's expectation, because usually the Austrian pursuers would chase down the defeated troops along the way, instead of suddenly rushing towards the unknown hilltop where he was. This is the so-called darkness under the light.
Just when Kieran Vasje was confused, he found a choking smoke rising from behind. This was the culprit that attracted the Austrian army.
But at this time, Kieran Wasijie didn't care so much. While asking his men to resist, he mounted a fast horse and prepared to escape.
To say that Sassoon and his son were also ruthless people, they directly pulled down the cavalry on the side and grabbed their horses and fled. One of the cavalrymen didn't want to give up his horse, so Victor Sassoon had his head chopped off.
In the chaos, people around didn't know what happened. They only knew that a few people escaped from the siege. However, the Sassoons were not professional cavalry and were quickly captured by the Austrian cavalry.
Kiran Vasje was worthy of being a hero of the moment. His loyal subordinates decided to continue walking on the main road to attract the enemy and let him escape on the side road. In the end, he successfully escaped the pursuit of the cavalry.
It was already dark at this time, and Kieran Wasj rode his horse through a sea of flowers. He smelled a strange fragrance and his physical strength recovered unknowingly.
Then before Kiran Wasj could feel joy, torches lit up around him.
This was the stage where he finally took his final bow. Kieran Wasj, the leader of the group holding the torch, felt that his face was somewhat familiar.
Yes, that was his eldest brother's son, Huye Wasj, the hidden danger that Kieran Wasj had been looking for.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
Kiran Vasje pretended to smile and said, "Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Then he suddenly raised his gun and fired, but there were already two strong men holding giant shields in front of Huye Vasje.
Kiran Vasje's old-fashioned single-shot pistol penetrated the seemingly thick shield, but at this time the round lead bullet had been severely deformed and just stuck on the strong man's armor.
After one hit, it is almost impossible to shoot again. The flintlock pistol used by Kiran Vasje can be completed from priming to loading in less than two minutes. Moreover, the power and accuracy of this thing are comparable to modern guns. The pistol is completely incomparable. Even if he is given another chance, it will be difficult to kill the opponent.
"Okay! You, this traitor, actually united with outsiders to attack my country. The Wasij family has been completely embarrassed by you! You are all Kalaika people, can you bear to watch this bastard give our land to foreign countries? people?"
Kiran Vasje is not a person who gives up easily. Even if his last attempt fails, he will still try to create miracles with his mouth.
It's just that these people are all carefully selected by Huye Vasje, and they all have an sworn hatred for Kieran Vasje.
This kind of person is actually not difficult to find. After all, Kieran Wasj has really done nothing for so many years. By the way, Kalika is actually a slave country. In addition to growing and selling opium, its main business is selling its own citizens to Southeast Asia and Sri Lanka.
Although the British East India Company announced in 1843 that they had abolished slavery in India, in fact slavery in India still exists even today, let alone 1845.
"Kieran Wasj, you are the shameless thief. Not only did you take my father's life, you also took his throne.
Now Shiva has appeared and asked the Austrians to travel thousands of miles to help me regain the throne.
Do you think your subordinates are really loyal to you? Their allegiance is just to the opium in your hands.
Look at your feet! "
Huye Vasje laughed.
Only then did Kiran Vasje realize that the sea of flowers he had broken into was a poppy plantation.
"What do you want to do!?"
"This sea of poppies is where you will be buried!" Huye Vasje laughed, and then ordered his men to start setting fire.
Kiran Vasje wanted to ride out of the sea of fire, but when he saw the raging fire igniting around him, the horse's front hooves were raised high and he fell off the horse's back.
However, at this time, Kiran Vasje could not feel the pain. The smell of burning poppies entered his nasal cavity, making him feel intoxicated instead.
An Austrian journalist recorded the scene on camera as an Austrian official from Tranquiba walked up to Huyet Vasje, who was laughing maniacally.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Now perhaps we should talk about compensation."
