One after another, Austrian soldiers jumped out of the trenches and fought with the soldiers of the task force, and the soldiers of the Thorn Flower Division showed a fearless spirit, even if the battle damage rate reached seventy percent, they were not afraid, and the shame brought by the two hundred deserters just now will be washed away by their own hands.

"Warriors of the Empire, fight...... In hand-to-hand combat with them, as long as we can drag it out for five minutes, the follow-up troops will be able to rush up, and victory will be our ......"

"Hooray...... I cāo...... "Crackling, sparse, those hot-blooded Austrians just rushed to the edge of the trench and found that they had been fooled, and it was a big one."

"You are so shameless...... countless Austrian soldiers shouted such slogans and fell down cracklingly, and one by one they fell into the muddy water like dogs gnawing mud.

Despicable, this group of Prussian troops is so despicable, they actually dug a trench more than two meters deep on the high ground of the stone bridge, and the bottom is fucking waterlogged...

That's right, Xiao Letian's trench design is borrowed from the plan of the First World War, this kind of deepening and widening trench, the serious should be built with a wooden frame to build a shooting platform, soldiers walking in the mud can completely straighten their waists without fear of the enemy's bullets, once the enemy attacked, the soldiers stood on the rack and showed their heads half-pulled and began to shoot.

Although the task force did not have time to build so many wooden shelves today, they could reserve a dirt platform on the outward side of the trench, which did not need to be more than 30 centimeters high, and the soldiers could sit on the platform to avoid artillery fire when encountering artillery fire, and once the enemy charged, they could stand on it and shoot.

Such a style of design would not appear until fifty years later, in the middle of World War I, in real history, and it was the best defense of infantry before the advent of rapid mechanized warfare.

Using historical experience across time to abuse people, sometimes it feels so dark.

If you are mentally prepared for the two-meter-deep pit, you may not be injured even if you jump down, but the most terrible thing is that no one knows that this trench will be so deep, and the Austrians will fall into it like dumplings if they are caught off guard. And the Prussian army, who was waiting for the rabbit, pulled out the bayonet and used it as a long dagger, and stabbed the Austrian soldiers in the muddy water to death one by one like slaughtering rabbits.

"Holy shit, you still want to fight us hand-to-hand, go to hell...... Brothers, hurry up and don't delay, the third wave of enemy forces is coming...... Damn, don't you know how to use a sapper's shovel when your bayonet is bent? This thing is better than a bayonet......

There was a chaotic shout of killing in the trenches, and in less than five minutes, the hundreds of Austrians who rushed up to the hand-to-hand combat turned into cold corpses in the muddy water. By this time, the third wave of charging Austrians had rushed to a distance of fifty meters from the trenches, and the snowy bayonet jungle was once again on the muzzle of the task force.

"Free Fire...... Fire... Repel them......" The blood-stained bayonets were once again aimed at the rushing enemy, and the sound of terrifying Mauser fire rang out again.

At this time, in the rear of the Austrian army, in the temporary headquarters where the old earl was, the pot had completely exploded, and countless battalion commanders gathered here to strongly protest against this irresponsible act of sending him to death.

"Sir, please take back such an order... How can the battle be fought like this? Isn't it a one-sided massacre for the Prussians, hidden in deep trenches, with the rate of fire of advanced rifles? Do you want to use the lives of our soldiers to consume the enemy's bullets?"

"The Empire's intelligence officers should be killed... What is the model of this terrible rifle? What are its parameters, how many base ammunition does the enemy on the other side have? We don't know how this battle will ......."

"My beloved Earl... I beg you to give the order for the third wave of brothers to pull out, and let our artillery fight a few more rounds, and we can only rely on artillery now......"

The surrounding officers were shouting and shouting, and Count Tarburis's head was so loud that at last he couldn't bear it anymore and yelled.

"Shut up, shut up for me... What do you know, artillery? Do you know how many shells our artillery carryed? Do you know that in a moment we will face Prince Karl's army of 120,000?"

"Without artillery fire support, please tell me how we should delay them for an hour......?

The old earl's roar shook all the officers present, and everyone's face was as aggrieved as constipation. The old count sighed, "You have really been in Vienna for too long, and you seem to have forgotten what war was all about." Don't be a soldier if you're afraid of sacrifice......"

"Look at these Prussians, who have inflicted great casualties on us, but you also have to learn something new from them...... If Prince Karl's Second Legion rushes up, our Thorn Flower Division will have such a defensive system......"

Saying this, all the officers suddenly opened their mouths, and their minds even imagined the scene of the Prussian army being swept down in front of the trenches.

The old earl clenched his fists and pointed to the battlefield, "No matter how great the sacrifice, even if we fill it with human lives, we will occupy this high ground, you must remember that this is a battle of national fortunes, once defeated, we Austria will completely withdraw from the stage of competition for dominance, and thus become a second-rate or even third-rate country in Europe......"

Speaking of this, the old earl suddenly sighed in a low voice, and he whispered as if he was afraid of being heard by the soldiers around him, "Everyone, think about it, we can lose to anyone, but we can't lose to these Chinese..."

These three words of the Chinese completely woke up these officers. Yes, if it is not too embarrassing to lose to the Prussians, if it loses to the Chinese, I am afraid that the entire thorn flower division will become the laughing stock of Europe.

The red-faced officer saluted the old earl, turned his head and rushed out to prepare to assemble the team, and everyone held their hearts with a belly of anger, waiting to rush at this group of Chinese. But at this moment, they suddenly heard a commotion on the battlefield, and fixed their eyes on the stragglers who had been charging in the third wave, and they had actually withdrawn.

More than a thousand stragglers charged, and the combat attrition reached six achievements can no longer hold on, not only that, the officers led by this wave of soldiers are far less brave than the previous two groups of officers, when the soldiers around him splashed his face with a headshot, this Austrian little nobleman couldn't hold on anymore, and he turned his head and ran away.

Since ancient times, wars have been fought by soldiers, and when the soldiers see that the officers take the lead in escaping, what are you waiting for if you don't run, and the lives of civilians are also fate.

Four or five hundred routs covered the entire assault position, and even broke up the ranks of the fourth wave of stragglers behind them. Behind them, the soldiers of Xiao Letian's special battalion were jubilant, and everyone gave the middle finger to this group of routed soldiers.

"Fuck off, grandson, grandpa, I'm too lazy to waste bullets on you, go home and nursery, hahaha......"

"It's White... It's the drunken White...... This bastard, it's so shameless, you are a disgrace to the Empire..."A group of officers outside the command department scolded angrily, and after a while, a group of soldiers from the guard company rushed out of the Kung Fu command headquarters and rushed straight to the fleeing crowd.

In a few moments, the battalion commander White was tied up, and the guards did not kick him in the knee without any politeness, and the young baron from Vienna fell to his knees in the mud.

"Shameless... Do you still have the dignity of a nobleman?How dare you take the lead as a deserter......" The enraged old earl rushed out and slapped his head and face, and it was a horsewhip.

"You're a shit-like shit... How can the fate of the empire be entrusted to you......? I'm going to shoot you—" The old earl's head jumped as he drew his pistol and was about to fire.

The brigade commander Pengka was frightened and rushed over, grabbed the earl's hand and snatched the pistol, "The sir, the earl, the earl...... You can't kill it, White can beat and punish as much as you want, but you can't kill it... For the king's sake, don't shoot......"

Pengka winked at the old earl, and it was only then that the old earl thought of some rumors in the Vienna aristocratic circle, this White had a very beautiful sister, and she was a famous courtesan in Europe.

If the old earl dared to kill White today, then it is conceivable that all the men under the courtesan skirt would be like a pack of perverts...... Oh, no, no, no, it should be like a pack of hungry wolves, pounced on the old earl. At that time, I am afraid that the entire family of the earl will be retaliated against.

The old earl did not say anything, but turned his head and went into the tent, and no one noticed that the old earl's eyes were full of tears.

At this time, the brigade commander Peng Ka, waved his hand to let the officer corps retreat, and walked into the military tent alone, he blocked the door of the military tent with his back, he knew that the appearance of the division commander must not be seen by the soldiers, which affected morale too much.

The old earl sat on the horse, covered his face with his hands and sobbed in a low voice, "I've done enough, I've done enough, I know that God is punishing me, let me be a thorn gardener, what have I done in the past ten years besides wiping your ass?"

In the eyes of the people of Vienna, the meaning of the thorn flower is a group of thorns, which is not a good word at all, this is an insult to us..."

"Quietly, that Alain, and this White, is this the future of the Empire?" said this, the old earl's face changed, and he actually said a cruel word.

"No wonder during the French Revolution, the people shouted that they wanted to abolish the aristocracy, if they were all such nobles, I think they should also be abolished......"

Pengka's face turned white with fright, and he rushed over to cover the earl's mouth and whispered, "My God, my dearest earl, how can ......you say this?

"Don't worry, I'll personally lead the troops to charge, and I'll personally take this high ground for you..."

The old earl finally regained his composure at this time, and he shook his head, "No, the morale of the army is already very delicate now, and the mentality of the soldiers is very bad...... Let the artillery come on, a few more rounds of shelling, cheer up our children ...
