War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

On the battlefield, the Poles were beaten so hard by lever-action rifles with high rates of fire and high hits that they could no longer hold their heads up. They were unable to hold their heads up in a true physical sense.

The eight-round ammunition capacity was definitely a unique design at the time, providing it with the ability to continuously suppress.

However, even lying on the ground is not a problem for the shooters behind the walls. The latter only treat it as hunting. After all, the distance of more than 100 meters is protected by the walls. It is difficult for old-fashioned muskets to cause any damage. .

"Damn! It was such a meaningless battle. Why didn't they surrender?"

Colonel Monta was very irritated. He didn't understand what the other party was doing. It was simply impossible for such a small number of people to attack the Wubao where he was stationed.

At this time, Colonel Monta looked at the private soldiers of the Yasusky family who were fighting between two groups. The latter was immediately frightened, and the former sighed helplessly. He really hoped that the other party could have the courage to at least give this It would be nice if the battle creates a little bit of suspense.

Although he was eager to perform meritorious service, Colonel Monta did not want to take the initiative or force the guys in front of him to rebel. After all, the lives of his men were more important.

The most important thing is that Archduke Franz did not have that intention. The Archduke's order was to request support when the number of casualties exceeded 10%.

But this was obviously too much worry, as the enemy was more vulnerable than imagined.

Although the battle was one-sided, no one cared about the colonel's mood. In other words, unlike the colonel, they didn't care how many enemies there were, only how many they could kill.

At this time, a Polish cavalryman came to the front line despite a hail of bullets. This courage made people move the muzzle of the gun three points away.

However, not everyone would express their respect in this way. Several snipers had already aimed their guns at the brave warrior who was risking his own life.

Because this kind of person obviously meets the standards of high-value targets. Of course, the value standard of snipers was set by Franz. After all, there was no such combat mode before.

The first target of a sniper is the enemy sniper. The reason why snipers are ranked before officers is mainly in line with human nature. After all, for snipers, enemy snipers are their biggest threat.

Moreover, destroying enemy snipers can reduce the enemy's morale while improving your own morale. But at this time, except for Austria, other countries should not have this kind of troops.

But it cannot be ruled out that there will be some enemies with extraordinary talents. After all, Simon Haye was just a reindeer hunter before joining the army, and Zhang Taofang was just a farmer digging for food in the fields.

If this kind of monster really finds its grip, it will not be a problem that one or two people can solve.

Next in line are officers and commanders, and those who may be performing command tasks or actions.

Killing senior commanders may not be of much use in modern warfare, because the existence of the staff system makes this behavior nothing more than an embellishment, and its symbolic significance is far greater than its strategic significance.

However, at this time, it was still the 19th century that killing and wounding commanders would cause large-scale chaos for the enemy. Especially the killing of low-level officers had a great impact on the morale of the lower ranks.

Especially when the organization and subjective fighting will are not strong, it is easy to collapse the enemy's organization.

Just like at this time, the Poles lying on the ground did not want to surrender or turn around and escape, but the enemy's shooting was so accurate that they did not dare to move at all.

The third place is the signal corps and those soldiers who dare to lead the charge. Eliminating the former will block the enemy's information, while eliminating the latter will damage the enemy's morale, thus eliminating the fear of our own soldiers.

At the bottom of the list are artillerymen, rocket soldiers, and balloon observers. It's not that their priority is not high, but that these people are usually far away from the battlefield, and they also pay more attention to concealment and are not easy to kill.

As for other infantry and cavalry, they are not high-value targets, and they are relatively easy to kill.

The brave Polish communications soldier in front of him was not killed because Colonel Monta wanted to see what other tricks the opponent had up his sleeve.

"Provisional Commander Dembovsky asks you to withdraw to your original positions!"

The cavalrymen passed through the formation shouting, repeating Dembovsky's orders.

Although the orderer shouted to retreat, the soldiers had their own understanding, which was just one word "escape"!

When the first person stood up and started running backwards, the decline could no longer be stopped. The defeated soldiers used all their strength to rush in the opposite direction to the battlefield.

The rout was as unstoppable as a flood, wreaking havoc on the order that had been finally established. They have only one thought in their minds, and anyone who tries to stop them will be overwhelmed and overwhelmed.

These people no longer have the courage and rationality. All that is left is the survival instinct of beasts. They push away their comrades, pull down those running in front, and ignore the injured who fell on the ground, just to stay alive.

Burns Pork pounded the ground, tearing at the grass stems on the ground with his hands regardless of the pain.

"The Austrians are about to lose their strength. They are about to run out of bullets."

He was still thinking about his achievements, but he would not waste his life in vain. Burns Bok immediately joined the retreating army.

What happened in front of them made the defenders shocked at first, and then happy. Although it was a completely unequal battle, victory always brought joy to people.

Except for Colonel Monta, who was so angry that he smashed the wall. Unexpectedly, the Poles chose to retreat after paying such a heavy price.

His sense of honor prevented him from shooting at enemies whose backs were turned to him. This was considered the pride of the nobility at that time.

But soon a soldier shouted, "Look behind me!"

Colonel Monta followed the sound and saw a large number of cavalry approaching Wubao rapidly from the other direction.

"Well done! Let them know how powerful we are!"

Although the cavalry approaching quickly from behind were quick and brave, without the restraint of the frontal infantry, the outcome of this battle was already doomed.

Franz’s evaluation of this was “standard Prussian tactics, infantry to contain the front, and cavalry to surround behind.

It was a pity that the infantry retreated early, and the cavalry that arrived later became a target, but even a two-sided attack did not pose a great threat to Wubao.

After all, leaving 500 men on the frontal battlefield was enough to deal with it, and those cavalry couldn't break through the wall. They could only dismount and fight on foot, which would not have much impact. "

"The cost to the attacker is also too high." Lakshmi Payi murmured to herself.

Franz just smiled. He hadn't even gone up to the trenches, barbed wire and Maxim, so the casualties would be huge.

"Then why was the British able to conquer every battle in the Indian subcontinent?"

Lakshmi Pai asked with some confusion.

"Because the firepower of the two sides is not equal. In addition, the organization and logistics are not on the same level. But it is more about strategic issues.

When the enemy is strong and you are weak, you should change your strategy and build a city to defend it. Just relying on the original castles of the princes and families is not enough.

Bastions can reduce the damage caused by shelling to a certain extent, but my suggestion is to combine defense and guerrilla tactics. "
