I remember.

The largest cavalry charge in history. "Janissaries, are you ready to die?" What a line.

Btw, look up the history of the Janissaries if you don't know anything about them. It's truly tragic... the Turks recognized the superiority of White warriors, and so they formed the Janissaries made up of kidnapped Europeans. They were one of the best fighting forces ever assembled.

They were the elite of the Ottoman's army. Seeing them getting smashed to bits and ran down by these terrifying mounted, winged warriors had a tremendous effect on all who saw it: the Christian defenders were heartened, and the Ottoman forces were fucking terrified. Cool fact about the Hussars' wings: they were designed to whistle loudly while galloping.

Imagine the sound: 18,000 of these Hussars charging down a hill. The thundering hooves, the guns, the high-pitched whistling... Imagine the dust they kicked up. Imagine the sound of them crashing into the Ottoman lines- shields splintering, men cut down, trampled, and shot as they desperately tried to flee. Glorious.

You realize these are the most extreme philo-semites to hold an instrument
