C337 Sardauars Fire of War (1/2)

On July 3, 1866, a drizzle of rain fell early in the morning on the outskirts of Sada. However, this would not affect the upcoming war at all.

When the morning light gradually tore through the mist, the Prussian army began to attack from the right under the orders of General Field. The Austria never expected that the Prussian army would initiate an attack when they were weaker in numbers, and their formation was immediately reduced by a large amount.

Austrian Army was not to be outdone, he immediately ordered his army to retaliate, and in an instant, hundreds of cannons rained down towards Yibei Legion, forming a ton of steel, the sky was filled with the sound of cannons and white smoke.'s army was instantly blasted away.

”Second Artillery Battalion … Dense shooting! The cannon will forever be the king of the battlefield, the God of War! ”Let's fight, open the Gates of Hell …”

The mid-century leaf s were gradually being abandoned at this stage, and the military experts of the Austria s had always attached great importance to the cannons. With the support of France, the number of cannons under the hands of the Austrian Army s had already reached a terrifying eight hundred.

Eight hundred cannons in the mid-century leaf was already a terrifying existence. This was not like what happened during the second world war, as the industry level in the Western Powers was only this much now. There were still many deficiencies in steel refining technology, and there were even a large amount of bronze cannons in the army.

In this era, forming a big artillery group was always a waste of money. Later generations of Military experts had analyzed it before, why were the Poo War not widely known to carry needles and rifles? Why use an old forepeak?

The answer left everyone speechless. The reason was simple, the empire did not allow it, but the Austria had allocated a large amount of military funds to the artillery. Naturally, this would slow down the upgrading of individual soldier equipment. Replacing all six or seven hundred thousand infantry with the latest guns? Just thinking about it was an astronomical figure.

It was due to the importance attached to the artillery team that the Prussian side had a taste of suffering. The Yibei Legion who had launched the first attack was blown up before she could even cover the ground under her butt.

The sound of explosions could be heard everywhere, there were flickering flames everywhere, the solid artillery shells contained a large number of flowering bomb s, the huge shock wave swept across the battlefield, and Prussian soldiers was thrown into the air like a rag doll, his broken limbs falling down like rain.

The soil after the drizzle was soft and moist. The explosion of the artillery turned it into a shower of mud. The mud fell with crackling sounds. All the soldiers within a radius of several kilometers saw this wondrous scene.

At this time, the Austrian Army commanding officer, Bei Naidekejiangjun, was riding a big horse, and under the protection of his bodyguards, he was overseeing the entire battlefield.

”Very good, very good. The firing rhythm of the artillery is very good …” Now, immediately order the Saxon army to retreat, and enter the highlands to take advantage of the situation and attack. It's time to make these arrogant Prussian suffer … ”

Under the command of the general, the Saxon army began to retreat. They quickly entered the high ground and started to fire at the Prussian army.

The combination of the cannons and the rain of bullets from the rifles caused the seven battalions of Prussian army to fall into a bitter battle. The number of casualties rose rapidly.

”Retreat, order the soldiers to give up their positions, stop attacking …” At the critical moment, General Field finally gave the order to retreat. This probing attack finally ended with the failure of the Prussian army.

No matter if they won or lost, they would not have much of an impact on the overall battle situation. Just as the Yibei Legion turned to defense, the 1st Legion of the old Prince Karl also began to move, and this time, it was the hundred thousand strong army that attacked together. The entire army advanced steadily like a mountain pressure on a mountain.

At around nine in the morning, Prussian army took the lead and left the main force, charging towards the Austria. His goal was a dense forest in front of him, if he occupied this forest, the Prussian army would naturally obtain a defensive position.

However, they never expected that the cunning Bei Naidekejiangjun would actually set up two armies in the forest, instead of the two divisions that were shown in the intelligence report.

Although the overall quality of the Prussian soldier was slightly higher, and although the posthumous Gun of the Prussian army was more advanced, but the huge difference in strength could not be ignored, causing the Seventh Division to fall into a cruel battle in the forest.

One teacher against two armies, all the Military experts in the world would definitely lose, even the commander Bei Naidekejiangjun shook his head in regret.

”Stupid, really stupid, if Lao Maoqi's command skills are only this little, I'm afraid the battle plan I made before is a little overboard … I want them to attack and destroy the Seventh Division. I want to annihilate them and not destroy them. Remember that the enemy Seventh Division still has the task of protecting the left flank. ”

”As long as we destroy the Seventh Division, our two armies will be able to easily bypass the enemy's left flank and form a semicircle. At that time, the balance of victory will definitely belong to us …”

At this moment, the aide-de-camp by his side asked worriedly, ”Your Excellency, we have the absolute advantage in numbers of troops and artillery on the main battlefield right now, but what I'm worried about is …”
