After quick preparations, more than a thousand cavalrymen from the Kingdom of Sardinia rushed towards the French stragglers.

However, there are always some signs when the cavalry is preparing to attack. If it is a dry and sunny day, they will raise dust. Of course, it has been rainy recently and the ground is wet, so this problem has been avoided. However, the concentration of the cavalry in the brigade also requires other troops to give them a passage. This sign is difficult to cover up. So before the cavalry of the Kingdom of Sardinia appeared, Napoleon keenly discovered the conscript.

"Where are the shepherd dogs? Where are the shepherd dogs?" said Napoleon. "Take your cavalry and help the fox fight!"

"Sheepdog" is the nickname that Napoleon gave Ogero, and Ogero himself is very proud of this nickname. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to capture more than 300 Peppa George with a horse whip.

"As for the order!" Jerome responded happily. He lowered his head, checked the four revolvers inserted on his belt and the sword hanging around his waist, then stepped onto the war horse and headed towards the cavalry.

Napoleon continued to stand there, stepping on a stone with one foot, holding a telescope and looking across from the opposite side.

The Sardinian cavalry had already completed the preparation at this time, perhaps because they were not very clear about the range of the guns in the hands of the French scattered soldiers in front, because they had been behind the team. They only knew to launch an assault on the French scattered soldiers according to the order, but the person who sent the order did not tell them that the range of the guns in the hands of the French was more than three or four hundred yards. Therefore, after these cavalry came out of the formation, they did not immediately disperse the formation, and still maintained a closer formation, approaching the French with small steps.

In normal circumstances, this makes sense. First of all, maintaining a relatively tight formation will help maintain discipline. Anyway, it is still far from the enemy. It is time to spread out when you get closer and then spread out even though the "little melon" has been widely used, no cavalry in any country will use fence-style charges.

As for using small steps to get close, this is because the war horses used by the Sardinian army are not Mongolian horses that use nuclear power. They cannot maintain the highest speed to sprint. They first run small steps outside the enemy's range, and then gradually speed up to reach the highest speed when approaching the opponent's "little melon" range. This can minimize the killing of the small melons of the scattered soldiers to the cavalry as much as possible.

The scattered soldier Daniel had just loaded the bullets, and the shout of company commander Amy came from his ears: "Prepare, aim at the enemy cavalry..."

Everyone raised their guns, but Company Commander Amy seemed to be showing off his amazing lung capacity and deliberately dragged the sound to the elder. One of the important reasons why he could become the company commander was that Commander Rana fell in love with his loud voice, and even on the noisy battlefield, his shouting could be heard around him. Of course, no matter how loud his voice was, it would be impossible for all the scattered soldiers to hear it. At this time, his huge lung capacity worked. He could drag the sound long so that other company commanders could shout after hearing it, and then maintain the consistency of the last order as much as possible.

Amy finally finished calling out the aria-like "cavalry". He took a deep breath, counted in his heart, and then shouted suddenly: "Fire!"

The other company commanders also shouted and fired at this time of almost the same time. More than two thousand scattered soldiers fired a round of volleys at the Sardinian cavalry, who were still five hundred yards away.

Because the cavalry had large targets and were lined up in dense formations at this time, although the distance was very long and almost reached the limit of the range of the Minnie rifle, it still achieved very good results. The Sardinian cavalry fell from the war horses one after another, just as autumn leaves fell from the branches in the cold wind.

"Damn it! How far can their guns hit!" General Coley began to consider how to explain to the king and put the blame for the defeat on the incompetent military manufacturers.

This unexpected round of attack also made Sardin's cavalry mess. The people in front saw the cavalry whose comrades fell to the ground. Some wanted to hold the horse and stop, some began to use the spur to kick the horse's belly so that it could run, and some did not understand at all, and still maintained the posture they had just now.

So I wanted to stop and ran into the one who was moving forward at a normal speed; I wanted to rush forward for a few steps and looked back and saw that no one was following me, and then braked urgently; I wanted to... just turn my horse's head and run to the side. In short, the entire cavalry team was in a mess.

The commander of the Cavalry Division, Earl Vivaldi, tried hard to maintain the team. He shouted loudly, worked hard to rectify the team, and ordered the team to launch a full-speed charge immediately... However, at this moment, the gunshots of the second round of volleys sounded again...

This round of volleys made the Italians even more chaotic, but it also made many smart Italians understand: "Crowd together is to attract bullets, and everyone must disperse immediately!"

So the cavalry dispersed in a mess, and some smarter cavalry war horses under their crotch seemed to be frightened and ran around, and suddenly they didn't know where they ran.

Although the range of Minnie rifles is much longer, when the straitors face the enemy light cavalry, they can normally shoot two rounds of volleys. Next, they will have to fight with the "Bonaparte Melon" and the revolver and bayonet.

However, at this time, since the Italians were willing to let the straits shoot more volleys, everyone naturally could not let them down, right? So, taking advantage of this opportunity, the straits shot another volley.

Earl Vivaldi finally controlled some of the troops, and he ordered: "The whole division charges!" So finally, under his command, some cavalry rushed towards the stragglers at the fastest speed.

On their way to charge, they were hit by another volley. However, because their speed increased, the damage caused to them by this round of volley was much smaller than the previous few times.

Earl Vivaldi slowly lowered his horse speed so that other cavalry could surpass him. At the same time, he also saw that the Frenchman opposite had already used a bayonet and took out a small melon.

According to the experience taught by the Austrians, there were no bullets in the French guns at this time, so as long as they rushed through their "little melon", the rest was to fight with sabers and bayonets. Although the French scattered soldiers were very brave, sabers still had obvious advantages over bayonets.

"They will not form hollow square formations. How can they fight against the cavalry with their own bayonets alone? Of course, they cannot form hollow square formations, because we also have 'little melons'." This was what the Austrian friend said at that time.

The cavalry were approaching the range of the "little melon", and a group of little melons flew over from the opposite side. In previous exercises, the cavalry were also very familiar with this situation. They lowered their heads and pressed their bodies against the horse's neck, and rushed over in the blink of an eye, right? But that was the acting, it was the exercise. At that time, the "little melon" that was thrown over would not explode! So some people running in front couldn't help but want to turn, while some people running in the back couldn't help slowing down (they wanted to wait for the little melon to explode before rushing over). Then, many smart people bumped into each other... Then, the "little melons" exploded one after another, and took away another wave of cavalry.

However, Earl Vivaldi was not injured. This was not because there were bullets and shrapnel in this world that would avoid the rules of senior officers, but because among all the chargers, he was the smartest one. He had already slowed down and landed far away at the end of the team. Even when the cavalry approached the range of the opponent's "Little Melon", he deliberately distanced himself from the queue.

"The rest is the saber against the bayonet! We can do it!" Earl Vivaldi looked at the cavalry in front, assessed the losses along the way, and then made such a judgment.

However, there was no hand-to-hand battle between bayonets and sabers as he imagined, but a dense gunshot sounded.

Colonel Jean Rana also dropped the rifle in his hand, pulled out the revolver from his waist, and pointed the muzzle at an Italian cavalry that was rushing towards him. "Bang, bang" fired two shots in a row, and the Italian cavalry fell; he pointed the muzzle at another Italian cavalry, "Bang, bang" fired two shots in a row, and the Italian cavalry also fell; he pointed the muzzle at another Italian cavalry, "Bang, bang" fired two shots in a row, and the Italian cavalry also fell; he pointed the muzzle at the last Italian cavalry, "Da...", there was no bullets, he quickly pulled out another revolver, and when he looked again, the Italian had already fallen from his horse...

The revolver that could shoot continuously completely fooled the Italians. At this time, someone saw the French cavalry rushing over, so a smart man first understood, turned his horse's head and ran away, and then everyone ran away in a mess. Of course, the smart Earl Vivaldi was naturally also running away, and he ran the fastest.

Jerom took the cavalry and chased after the scattered soldiers. He tried hard to rush the enemy directly to their positions. It would be ideal if the Italians' own cavalry could mess up their infantry's queue.

However, Gerom's expectations did not become a reality. The Italians were always cautious. After the cavalry attacked, they cautiously restored the resistance in front of the position. Therefore, the Italian cavalry could only turn in front of their own array, while Gerom bit their tail tightly and leaned on less than two hundred cavalry to drive an enemy cavalry division out of the battlefield.

Colonel Jean Rana, the commander of the scattered corps, looked at the pursuit of the cavalry over there. When he saw that the Italian cavalry did not break the formation, he shouted with joy: "Brothers, I have said a long time ago that although the cavalry looks majestic, to resolve the battle, we still have to look at our scattered soldiers! Now, advance, let us defeat their privates!"

The scattered soldiers equipped with Minni rifles were almost bullying against Italian privates. With a longer range, they were like peeling an onion. Each round of shooting could cause the Italians to be stripped off a layer. This situation where only being beaten but difficult to fight back quickly defeated the morale of the Italians.

What's even more terrible is that the cannons placed in front of the position are now under the control of the French. When the Italians abandoned the cannons, they didn't care about destroying the cannons or anything else. So the French turned the cannons over, and before they could fire the cannons, the Italians completely collapsed. The soldiers ignored the officer's instructions and fled in scattered all over; the officers started to shout and threatened to maintain the team, but they soon joined the ranks of escape and ran faster than the soldiers.

More than 50,000 Italians fled in scattered everywhere. It was not easy for the French to catch them. In addition, the Italians were more familiar with the terrain, so after this battle, Napoleon did not capture too many prisoners. However, General Coli, who retreated to Turin, was unable to collect many fleeing soldiers. About half of the soldiers were neither killed in battle nor captured nor returned to their homes, but went straight back to their respective homes.

After obtaining more than 100 cannons, the French army approached Turin, and the city was in full swing. People in the city all said that if the French entered Turin, they would behead all the nobles; there were also vivid legends about the French "robbing the rich and helping the poor" in other places. Some people were afraid of the French and were trembling; some were looking forward to the French entering the city to share things.

The nobles in the city of Turin packed the valuable things they could take away, put them in carriages and fled to the west. There was a serious traffic jam on the roads from Genoa and Milan in Tongxiang in Turin, and the carriages with various heraldic signs were blocked there. Even the king's family escaped to Cagliari on Sardinia.

At the unanimous request of the nobles, the king announced his withdrawal from the war and sent envoys to negotiate with the French. Faced with the envoys of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Napoleon first put on an air of ignoring the truth, followed by various threats. Finally, under the threat of the French army, the Kingdom of Sardinia had to accept the following conditions:

The Kingdom of Sardinia withdrew from the anti-French alliance and promised not to allow anyone or any force to use the territory of the Kingdom of Sardinia to carry out any action against France. The Sardinian army must hand over the three fortresses of Kony, Cheva and Tortona; temporarily hand over Alexandria before Tortona handed over the French army; the people in the French-controlled areas have complete autonomy, and they have the right to establish an autonomous government and implement revolutionary policies, and the Kingdom of Sardinia must not interfere; the French army can

It is free to pass in Piedmont and has the right to cross the Po River in Valenta; all local police in Piedmont must be lifted; the regular Sardinian army must be stationed in various places as guards, and their strongholds must be approved by the French army, and the army shall not be equipped with any heavy weapons unless approved by the French army, and the number of troops stationed in any other stronghold shall not exceed 500. In addition, the Kingdom of Sardinia must also hand over a large sum of money as war compensation.
