Prince Karl had never been so entangled in his life as he was today, and when he had a violent quarrel with Luo Huo, he was sulking all the way, and he didn't know how to do it, this group of Chinese made his patience and aristocratic fan all disappear, and they were like wrongdoers in his previous life.

Prince Karl was very conflicted, and he rode in silence all the way, except for a few words when the officer asked him for instructions.

The location of the Stone Bridge Heights, as well as the topographic map of the surrounding mountains and rivers, including the speed and direction of the army's advance, etc., did not need to open the map at all, these basic military numbers had already been imprinted in his mind.

How urgent the current situation on the battlefield of Sadowa is, and how important the geographical location of the Stone Bridge Heights is, there is no need to ask these questions, needless to say, how can even an ordinary squad platoon commander understand the battle situation from him.

From the perspective of the whole battle, Prince Karl certainly knew the importance of Xiao Letian's decision, as long as he could firmly hold the Stone Bridge Heights and withstand the advance of the Thorn Flower Division, then the Second Corps could quickly defeat this famous noble division with the strength of the Vanguard Cavalry Regiment alone.

I'm afraid that Xiao Letian won't be able to withstand the pressure, so he retreats early or simply does what he said, and he doesn't deploy defenses on the high ground at all. If this happens, it will be a big trouble for the Second Corps.

A heavy division also has its own artillery regiment, relying on the high ground to occupy a geographical advantage to block the attack, don't look at the large number of people in the second corps, if you want to eat this iron bump, you also need a good pair of teeth.

Prince Karl and the staff team had deduced three times, but the results were not optimistic, and there were too many thorn flower divisions to guarantee that there would be no problem at all in delaying the Second Corps for an hour.

What is the concept of an hour? You must know that there are now more than 200,000 people strangled together in the Sadova region, how many people will die in an hour, and how variable the battle situation will be? Perhaps this hour will be the key to determining the outcome of the battle.

In Prince Karl's heart, in his subconscious, he was extremely eager for Xiao Lotian to be as Luo Huo said, like a nail nailed to the stone bridge heights, and he didn't ask them to have much success, as long as they could be nailed there, as long as they could interfere with the deployment of the Thorn Flower Division, so that they could not go all out to block the Second Corps, it would be enough.

But Prince Karl knew very well in his heart that with the strength of more than 700 people in two battalions, facing the 12,000 Thorn Flower Division, even a fool could guess what the outcome would be. Therefore, the nonsense in Luo Huo's mouth, Prince Karl will not believe it at all, plus these Chinese have humiliated him, so in his consciousness, he has long drawn them into the villain.

And the villain doesn't know what it means to give.

The army of the Second Corps marched silently on the field, from the vanguard cavalry who opened the way to the infantry at the rear, the whole march was stretched for more than ten miles, and no one in such a vast army column could see the march of the entire army with his eyes.

At this time, the command of the troops was strictly dependent on the speed of the cavalry. With Prince Karl as the center, the two sides of the large army were all messengers who delivered letters, the hooves of the bowl-sized horses trampled on the field and splashed large chunks of dirt, and the tall Arabian horses foamed at the foam, squeezing out their last strength and galloping forward.

"Report to the Chief...... The striker has already traveled 15 kilometers and is only five kilometers from the Stone Bridge Heights......"

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the troops in the rear have received supplies from the rear, here is the list of supplies......"

"Report to the Chief...... An accident occurred in the 6th Artillery Regiment, and the violent turbulence caused the leakage of 200 kilograms of gunpowder, but fortunately there were no casualties in the explosion......"

Commanding a large army is never a simple matter, just look at the busy staff around Karl, even if 120,000 people sneeze at the same time, it is a big deal in the eyes of these officers, and it is estimated that the military doctors of the whole army will be busy all day.

Just as the army was getting closer and closer to the stone bridge heights, in the middle of the heralds' galloping back and forth, a pitch-black military horse galloped from the east against the flow of people.

I saw that the horseman's expression on horseback was as strange as it was, and he looked like he was as if he had just been blessed by God, and his face was full of incredulous expressions.

The Prussians, especially the Prussian soldiers, are the character they admire the most, and for them, the greatest test for a soldier is not changing color before the collapse of Mount Tai.

Look at the infantry marching silently, and then look at the tide of cavalry with a stern face, such an outlier pops out in the middle, it is really unusually dazzling, and everyone can't help but look at him twice.

"Report...... Report to the Chief...... Pioneer...... The Vanguard Cavalry Division sent ...... Sending urgent information ......"

"What is it like? Pay attention to your military appearance......" Before the prince could speak, the staff officer beside him scolded.

"Yes...... Yes, sir...... The Forward Cavalry Division has arrived at the Stone Bridge Heights, and there is already an exchange of fire with the Thorn Flower Division......" said the sweaty herald as he pulled out his military information sheet from his bosom.

As soon as the chief of staff heard the information coming back from the Stone Bridge Heights, he did not dare to slack off, and snatched the military information from him. This is an urgent military situation sketched by the forward division commander on horseback, and the handwriting is as scribbled as it is. The chief of staff couldn't take his eyes off it, and he even read it softly.

At 11:55, the vanguard cavalry rushed to the west side of the stone bridge heights, and the battle situation in front of them was shocking...... The smoke and dust rose from the Shiqiao Heights, the sound of killing was billowing out, and the military flag of the special task force and a never-before-seen Eastern military flag stood on the high ground...... Tens of thousands of Austrian soldiers on the outside of the high ground were in chaos......"

"There are soldiers charging towards the high ground, soldiers are quietly fleeing south, and soldiers are planting explosives on the stone bridge in an attempt to blow it up...... Our troops urgently launched a charge and entered the battle as soon as possible, and when the stone bridge was saved, the battlefield was unimaginably tragic......"

The chief of staff shook his hands as he read it, and just now he scolded the herald for stumbling, but in the end he himself stumbled.

"Special Operations...... Special Battalion ...... At...... Under the command of Xiao Letian...... Actually...... Actually hold the high ground..."

As soon as one sentence was spoken, there was a loud "What?" and everyone shouted, staring at the cavalryman in disbelief.

The herald was only relieved now, and he took a few deep breaths, "Report to the chiefs... The Stone Bridge Heights were not lost, the flag of our Prussian army was still flying, Chinese and the Hamburg recruits withstood the enemy's attack with strange trenches, and when our troops began to attack, the task force also routed a number of charging enemy troops...... They are chasing and killing the Austrian army all over the mountains..."

Hearing this, Prince Karl shouted, "What about the Chinese officer, what about Luo Huo, bring him up immediately...... We, we have to apologize to him in person..."

Prince Karl's face was flushed, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, there was the shame after the slap in the face, and the joy after the high ground was not lost, his heart was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, with mixed feelings.

After a while, two companies of guards and cavalry guarding Luo Huo at the back of the team hurriedly arrived with several Chinese officers 'protecting', and Luo Huo looked up at Prince Karl's wonderful expression, and he guessed three points at that time. ‘

"Is there any news from my family......? Is the Stone Bridge Heights still there?Is my family safe?" Luo Huo rode his horse and rushed over, and the two burly Nordic cavalrymen could not stop him.

"Calm down... Mr. Luo, please calm down...... "Prince Karl rarely used honorifics" First of all, please accept my apologies, this time my judgment was wrong...... Ishibashi Heights is still there, and so is your Prime Minister..."

"Ahh Hahaha...... I just said, my family is invincible, we just stepped on a miracle... You still don't believe it, you still don't believe it......" The ecstatic Luo Huo almost fell off his horse.

However, Prince Karl's next sentence made his face turn pale: "Mr. Luo, these two guard cavalry companies beside you will be under your command for the time being from now on...... Why don't you go to Stone Bridge Heights and have a look...... Casualty... The casualties are too great...... You go and see your comrades one last time......"

In a word, Luo Huo was like an electric shock, and the ominous premonition in his heart began to churn again, how could seven hundred against ten thousand have no casualties.

"My lord, I'm here...... Woo woo, you bastards, you have to imprison Lao Tzu, why don't you let me go back to the battlefield first...... Woo woo, if I die, I'm going to die with my brothers......"

Luo Huo, who was running in tears, rushed forward, and the Prussian guard cavalry, who had just imprisoned them, had now become his men, and two hundred light horsemen chased Luo Huo's figure and galloped away. In the sound of the wind in the wilderness, there were bursts of cries similar to wolf howls.

Prince Karl suddenly had hot eye sockets, and a sour feeling welled up in his heart, "What are you still doing in a daze... The whole army accelerates...... The Chinese have already fought for their lives, and we Prussians are still unwilling to sell our lives in our own war?"

"Pass my order, all the troops are fighting separately, there is no need to think about the formation, I only need to rush to Sadova as fast as possible, and arrive at the battlefield before the Austrians launch a general attack, and the whole Second Army Corps will march in a hurry......"

At the Prince's order, the entire army began to disintegrate in the wilderness, and in the past, the army also considered the problem of infantry and artillery coordination, and also considered using cavalry to cover both flanks of the battlefield, but now everyone has abandoned the original formation, and now they have only one purpose, which is to advance lightly and rush to Sadova.

The cavalry regiment took the lead in breaking away from the large army, and the war horses rushed to the east like a happy horse, and the heavy materials abandoned by the infantry regiment began to accelerate with only the most basic ammunition base on their backs, and even the faltering artillery regiment gave up part of the ammunition base, and the horse was concentrated and used, pulling the field artillery to closely follow the footsteps of the large army.

Five kilometers was nothing for the cavalry, and Prince Karl, with his staff officers, under the protection of the Janissaries, soon saw the flowing river and the old stone bridge that was still intact.

When their eyes fell on the other side of the river, everyone gasped, although they had fantasized about the tragedy of the battlefield countless times in their hearts, but when he saw it with his own eyes, they were still shocked and dumbfounded.

At this time, there was no shadow of the Thorn Flower Master on the periphery of the highlands, and only a thin black line could be seen on the southern horizon, which was the back of the fleeing Austrian army.

To the north of the back, countless Prussian cavalry were chasing, and from time to time groups of exhausted Austrians crouched on the ground with their heads in their hands and gave up resistance and became prisoners.

Looking back at the high ground, people can no longer see the original face of the high ground, all the woods, shrubs, and green grass have been destroyed by artillery fire, and the entire high ground is full of scorched earth, and the craters are covered with the field of vision one by one.

Dead bodies, all corpses as far as the eye can see, and the closer you get to the trench area, the more corpses there are. It was only when he reached the edge of the third trench that Prince Karl found that the corpses had been piled up, and the two-meter-deep trench had almost been filled.

"Shhhh What a brutal war? Could it be that death has turned on his meat grinder?"
