The city walls that were once used for defense are now in ruins, and the tents that provided the Prussian soldiers to rest were also fired indiscriminately by a round of artillery. One of the cannonballs accidentally hit the wooden room where the cannonballs were stacked. , the explosion of the cannonball ignited the entire room, and Ron only heard a deafening sound behind him. Four Prussian soldiers and a warrant officer who were responsible for carrying the cannonball were killed on the spot, and the wood after the explosion turned into pieces of wood. The high-speed moving shrapnel mercilessly harvested the lives of the surrounding Prussian soldiers.

"Save me... God! Please..."

Many Prussian soldiers affected by the explosion lay on the ground and wailed in pain. The wailing sounded like a plague, instantly infecting the surrounding Prussian soldiers.

Due to the national military service and the three-level reserve system adopted by Prussia, many Prussian soldiers have been transferred to the second-level reserve when they have just become veterans. , the sight in front of him is a **** on earth for the Prussian soldiers who served less than three years in peacetime.

One second you were a fellow in the trenches, and the next second, you might be covered in blood, your intestines oozing out, lying on the ground and calling you for help with your hands covered with blood and dirt.

How could any recruit be able to suffer such torture!

Some Prussian soldiers were so frightened that they couldn't even hold their guns, and a small number of pampered Prussian soldiers were so frightened that they wet their pants.

These phenomena are very normal behavior in the barracks, especially in the Prussian army for the first time in the war.

However, none of the Prussian soldiers dared to escape, and the military discipline so severe that it was almost perverted made the Prussian soldiers not dare to make any extra moves when they were no longer a last resort.

Here I have to mention the first three articles of the Prussian military training dogma. The first one is "soldiers are scumbags", the second one is "if you treat scumbags, you have to fight them", and the third article "make soldiers afraid of cane whips rather than bullets". .

King Frederick, who established this army at the beginning, once punished the soldiers with his own hands, and was called "the soldier king" by the soldiers "kindly".

Although Prussia after the Napoleonic Wars has somewhat restrained the habit of whipping soldiers, the grass-roots officers still go their own way and impose severe corporal punishment on soldiers. Every year in the Prussian army, some Prussian soldiers are "accidentally" disabled.

August Bebel's father was maimed in the Prussian army. Bebel's father said angrily when he was dying: "I would rather let him starve to death than let him join the army."

Some soldiers closed their eyes and prayed for God's blessing. Officers who were accustomed to tragic situations did not hesitate to draw out their swords to seek relief for the seriously wounded soldiers.

As the commander of the army, Ron did not have the slightest pity in his eyes. He immediately gave the commander of the first and second regiments beside him the order to meet the coming Austrian army.

Undecided, the two regiments quickly followed Ron's order and began to act. They issued the order to the battalion commander in their respective camps, and the battalion commander issued the order to their respective regiment leaders. The Prussian company commander was made of strict discipline They ordered the warrant officers and sergeants to regroup.

Thanks to the fact that most of the soldiers in the Prussian army were soldiers who had completed primary education, after Ron's order was issued, they were able to quickly complete the assembly and reorganization of the troops.

If it was a group of serf soldiers like Tsarist Russia, Prussia would probably collapse at the moment when the Austrian artillery was concentrated because the army could not be assembled.

Of course, in the face of this situation, Russia also has a solution. The famous Russian general Suvorov once said that "the bullet is a soft egg, and the bayonet is a hero". As long as the Russian army charges the enemy before the rout, everything will be fine. .

The battalion-based hollow phalanx was established in less than 10 minutes, and the regimental staff immediately reported the casualties to Ron.

"Major General, the first regiment and the second regiment lost a total of 340 people in this round of shelling, including 3 second lieutenants and a captain!"

The report of the regiment-level staff officer made Ron feel a lot of heartache. At the beginning of the war, almost two companies were lost, and the Prussian army's ability to respond to emergencies was a little anxious.

However, it was not the time for Ron to rectify military discipline.

"The first regiment advances in battalion-level units, followed by the second regiment!" Ron gave an order to the regiment staff again.

In the age of roaring for communication and running for trust, riding a horse is undoubtedly the fastest option.

The regiment-level staff hurriedly gave Ron's order.

After the regimental staff left, the Prussian scout cavalry company commander drove to Ron's side and reported the enemy's approximate location to Ron.

Ron hurriedly spread out the map, and the guards on the side hurriedly brought over the kerosene lamps in the tent that had not been damaged. Under the influence of the kerosene lamps, Ron marked them one by one according to the positions provided by the cavalry company commander.

"Hey!" Looking at the suspected position of the Austrian army on the map, Ron couldn't help but sighed: "The other party's appetite doesn't seem to be small!"

Then, he asked the guard on the side, "Do you know who the commander on the other side is?"

After thinking for a moment, the guard responded: "I remember it seems to be Albrecht Friedrich Rudolf..."

Ron also remembered what Prince William once said about Albrecht, and he couldn't help saying again: "It's worthy of being the son of Archduke Karl!"

"General, what's wrong?" the guard asked Ron suspiciously.

"Look here!" Ron pointed to the place marked by him and said: "There are forests on the left and right sides of the Fulda area, and there is only one passage in the same Kassel for one day. In theory, as long as this passage is blocked, Our army will not be able to act on a large scale, and by then, I am afraid we can only pass from here!"

Ron pointed to the forest on the left side of the map. It is undoubtedly a taboo for a large-scale team to cross the forest, especially when marching in the dark. Also a big problem.

The reason why Suvorov's great detour in the Alps can be called a great achievement in the history of military academics is also because he was able to decisively abandon the risk of being cut off from logistics to carry out detour tactics, and then defeated Morrow and McDonnell in one fell swoop. Na and Jul were the three armies.

In 1940 Kammerling vowed to ensure that the German army would not choose to go to the Ardennes forest is also based on this factor.

Ron continued: "However, the commanders on the opposite side not only want to block our back path, they also want to prevent us from breaking through the forest. If I am not wrong, our flanks are already full of Austrian troops, stationed The Austrian army in Fulda is probably more powerful than we thought!"

"What should we do?" the guard asked Ron again.

"Come on!" Ron responded, "We must fully attract their forces so that His Royal Highness the Prince will have enough time to withdraw."

Under Ron's order, the hollow phalanx of battalions continued to advance, and behind them were the only 20 or so bronze smoothbore guns of the Prussian army.

[The Prussian army in 1850 was still using bronze smoothbore guns, and after more than 40 years their army was still the same as it was at the time of the Battle of Jena... No, it should be said that it was worse than the Prussian army at the time of the Battle of Jena. 】

Prussian and Austrian troops meet south of Fulda.

The commander of the Austrian Imperial Army, Albrecht, rode on a horse and looked at the Prussian army in front of him with a telescope. He clearly gave the opposite Prussian army plenty of time to escape. Why did the Prussian army rush to death?

"Who is the commander on the opposite side?" Albrecht asked the lieutenant general of the same rank beside him.

The lieutenant general shook his head and responded, "I don't know, it's probably some little-known person!"

"If every little person in the Kingdom of Prussia was like this, it would be very difficult for us to win!" Albrecht couldn't help shaking his head when he looked at the phalanx on the opposite side.

"Huh?" The lieutenant commander couldn't help but want to scold Albrecht for his excessive praise of others, but when he thought of Felix Schwarzenberg's order, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

After the Prussian army was completely within the effective range of Austria, Albrecht quickly gave the order.

"Fire the gun!"

The 75 artillery pieces of the whole army were concentrated by Albrecht, and bursts of artillery firing sounded.

Under the suppression of the powerful artillery of the Austrian Empire, the strict Prussian army had a tendency to be defeated for a short time If it were not for the prestige of the Prussian officers at all levels in the Prussian army, I am afraid that the solid phalanx of Prussia would have At risk of collapse.

It was only now that Ron discovered that the first round of shelling was likely to be the intentional release of water from the opposite side.

It can only be delayed for a while now, and I hope that Prince William can rush out smoothly.

"Fire!" Ron also gave the order to fire.

Compared with Austria's 75 guns, Prussia, with only 20 guns, was slightly struggling.

At the same time, the hollow phalanx was also formed into a three-column phalanx under Ron's order, and attacked the Austrian army against the artillery of the Austrian Empire.

Austria also fought back, not to be outdone, with both sides firing from less than 400 yards apart.

Under short and medium-range shooting, the Dreiser needle gun of the Kingdom of Prussia finally recovered some lines, and the Austrian Empire column phalanx continued to suffer casualties.

However, these casualties are simply insignificant for the veterans who have experienced the "bloody war between Hungary and Italy". After the previous one fell, the next one made up.

The Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia killed each other in Fulda at night.
