C378 The End of Month 3 (1/2)
At this moment, the two top officials of the Prussian Empire, the Chief of Staff and the Prime Minister of the Empire, one of them was crying like a child. Fortunately, there were no spectators around, only the two of them in the watchtower. Otherwise, if the news was leaked to the enemy, the entire Prussian nation would lose its image.
The two old men, both in their 100s, knocked their fists against the wooden railing. At that moment, their hearts were filled with depression, and all their emotions were dispelled.
”We in Prussia have prepared for this war for ten years! How many people had not seen the end of victory in the last few decades of their lives? ”Fortunately, God still loves Prussia. We've finally won!”
”Countless men and women, workers and peasants, student soldiers... All of the citizens of the Prussian Kingdom had given their all for this battle. ”Our economy is on the verge of collapse. We have already squeezed out the last copper coin of the people. If we fail, we will be beyond redemption!”
The two of them tightly held each other's hands and said in unison, ”God bless! We finally won! ”
The watchtower was built tall and sturdy, and the German engineer's skills were not blown out. The temporary wooden watchtower was over thirty meters tall, and from it, one could clearly see the scenery of the entire Sada region.
On the west side of the battlefield, which was also the right wing of the Prussian position, was a dense crowd of cavalry. Prussia's most elite Second Corps, the vanguard troops of Crown Prince Karl, finally arrived at the most critical moment after running for 40 kilometers.
The battlefield shook. Hundreds of thousands of people shouted the same word, regardless of whether they were allies or enemies: reinforcement. Prussia side was shaking and shouting with momentum, while Austria side was shouting with such agony that it was as if they were wishing they were dead.
”Reinforcements …” Reinforcements... ”Reinforcements …” The scene of hundreds of thousands of people shouting out a single word was simply too spectacular to imagine.
The soldiers of Second Regiment were also going crazy. They looked at the situation on the battlefield, then looked at the corpses that covered the ground, all of them were furious.
Karl had three Regiments, over thirty thousand of them charged forward at the same time like a hot and sharp knife, ruthlessly piercing into the soft butter of the Austria Army.
The infantry army only had enough time to fire one round before it was washed away by the war horses. Countless soldiers were knocked into the air and then smashed onto the ground, and before these soldiers who had their internal organs injured could spit out large mouthfuls of blood, countless horses' hooves trampled on his body and galloped past, leaving behind a pile of mud.
The most unfortunate ones were the artillery. These close combat defenses were basically zero, and they didn't even have the chance to pull a few backs against the crazy cavalry army. Their sabres flashed with a cold light and rows of heads rolled on the ground.
Seeing that the front line was in danger, Brigadier General Ferdinand Rosenzwig von Dreuville, along with his cavalry unit, immediately charged straight at the Prussian cavalry.
”My bravest Knights, you are brave warriors that I personally brought out from the Hungary. Don't forget the bloodline of the Huns, Attila, in your blood vessels, don't lose face for your ancestors … Charge up and die here, and give life to our friends... To march forward and sacrifice is the fate of the cavalry! ”
No one would have thought that this cavalry army was actually recruited by the Austrian from the Hungary. This was an ancient country in Central Europe, and it was rumored that they were the descendants of the Huns, Attila.
”Long live!” The cavalry army's strategy was to activate their horses and charge towards Prussian Legion while shouting. At that moment, it was as if a large river was rushing into the sea, rushing straight into the raging tides at the mouth of the sea.
Even if you are the sea, we will chop out the waves that belong to us!
The descendants of the Hun kings brandished their sabres, their chests full of the glory of warriors, and walked to the end of their lives under the gaze of God and their fathers in the sky.
War was like this, there was no relation between victory or defeat. Each side had their own beliefs and even if they failed, they would not waver. The brave did not know what it meant to live on the run.
This wave of suicide attack by Brigadier General Dreuweir was the last wave of attack from the Austrian. It was also because of their desperate battles that the main force of the Austria was able to break away from the battle.
The Bei Naidekejiangjun at this time, had already completely given up hope. From the moment Second Corps appeared, he already knew that today's defeat was already decided.
”Retreat!” The entire army retreated while fighting! Asking Druville to rush over and delay the Second Corps's vanguard cavalry … ”The other ministries are covering each other with firepower, retreating one by one …”
”Forget it, forget it!” Everything is over, we two hundred thousand people have fought for more than seven hours and still could not eat the other one hundred and twenty thousand people. Now that Karl's group is here, there is no hope for us in Austria! ”
”General!” ”I can't ah …” The surrounding officers were all crying, unable to accept the reality before their eyes.
