The negotiations eventually broke down, and when Xiao Letian reflexively jumped back into the trench, he looked relaxed on the surface, but his heart was full of worry.

Can they really withstand the attack of the Austrian army behind? Even if they are afraid of the life of Viscount Alain and do not use artillery, can they resist dozens of times the enemy's strength?

Xiao Letian's inner worries may not be felt by ordinary soldiers, but the officers of the New Army who have been following him for a long time can guess it. Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun saw an opportunity and blocked Xiao Letian in the traffic trench and held a small military meeting.

"Since your mind has been decided, don't hesitate to do it with them... We didn't have a chance, we brought out three times the ammunition base, twice the number of grenades, and a lot of bulk explosives before we set out...... Our supplies are very abundant, just according to the intensity just now, we can hold on for at least five or six hours......" Xiao Hexin cheered hard.

However, Sima Yun's consideration was more cautious: "There is no need to worry about ammunition, but our troops are not enough, and in more than two hours, the combat attrition has exceeded three hundred, and the remaining troops are probably not even satisfied with the trenches..."

At this time, His Royal Highness the Wing King, who had been silent, also spoke, "If the troops are insufficient, shrink the defensive line, don't we have three trenches, this point of strength to guard the outermost trench is definitely not enough, we retreat, all push them into the innermost trench, and shrink all the forces......"

"That's right, as long as the enemy doesn't use artillery, we can hold it. You see, my lord, we are hiding in the third trench, and the outer two trenches become natural obstacles, and the enemy's cavalry will not be able to rush through, and all the soldiers will have to dismount and fight in, and when the time comes, we will encounter a group of infantry......"

As he spoke, Xiao Letian's godson Hyotaro and son-in-law Noheita also strode over, holding the handle of the sword, there was not the slightest panic in their eyes, only the desire to fight and kill.

"Father, we all heard your conversation in front of the battle just now, and we just want to express my attitude to my father on behalf of all the warriors of the Foreign Legion...... Our Foreign Legion only has soldiers who have died in battle, and there are no soldiers who have escaped, so why hesitate to fight..."

Xiao Letian is now extremely gratified, since ancient times, he has seen the truth in adversity, he knows heroes, and the encouragement of his brothers makes his heart full of courage, and at this time he turned his inquiring eyes to Jonas and Leo.

Jonas didn't need Xiao Letian to open his mouth to know what he meant, he smiled slightly and said to the trench, "Prime Minister, this is the battle of life and death for our Kingdom of Prussia, do you think our morale needs to be motivated?"

Xiao Letian followed his gaze, and immediately let go of his heart, only to see that none of the Prussian soldiers in the trench were idle, and everyone was nervously preparing for battle.

Steven was checking the bullets one by one, the leather magazines on his body had long been emptied, he took out one shining bullet after another from the ammunition box, carefully examined them and pressed them into the magazine, his hands were as soft as caressing the hands of his lover.

And Daniel, with one grenade after another beside him, the firing device had been checked, the drawstring was neatly packed, and the young man's face was unusually calm.

Look at Grant again, as the more stable one of the living treasure trio, he has checked all the equipment, and now he is pulling out a piece of jerky and chewing it slowly, he is saving up for the upcoming battle.

There was an eerie silence in the trenches now, and the soldiers who had been killing all morning had retreated from their frenzy and become unusually calm. Even the wounded soldiers seldom wailed, just leaning quietly in the trenches to gather their bodies.

The Wing King involuntarily twitched his nose, "Good girl, I smell the smell of a hundred battle veterans, I have experienced countless wars, only a hundred battle veterans who came out of the mountain of corpses and blood can have such a calm and smell...... If only we could bring these good soldiers back home......"

The words of the Wing King are not said, he also knows that this kind of idea is very fantastical, in this era, Europeans are the highest people on the earth, and their pride is unimaginable to Asians.

Xiao Lotian shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off all the distracting thoughts, he clapped his hands and said loudly, "It's done... Why do you think so much, people die and birds are facing the sky, they will not die for thousands of years, and how many people will live to be more than 100 years old? If you are afraid of death, you will not die, and everyone will simply be the king...... Hahaha, let's assemble, let's assemble in the last trench, and if we want to die, we will die together......"

"Fighting... Fight... The officers and men of the task force ...... fighting had only one voice, and they began to assemble under the banner of the remnants of the blood, and at this time, from the Prussian positions on the periphery of the trenches, bursts of military trumpets and dense footsteps also sounded, and the final decisive battle finally came.

At the edge of the trenches, all the heads were densely exposed, and all the soldiers who could fight picked up the Mauser and put them on the dirt, vigilantly watching the surging crowd outside, but this time there was no tension at the beginning of the battle, and everyone looked at the enemy with heavy faces, just waiting for the commander to give the order to shoot.

Xiao Letian stood in the open-air headquarters at the commanding heights, holding a telescope and looking around the battlefield, when he saw the figure of the enemy's cavalry shuttling to the north of the heights, he sighed, "Tablis is really angry this time, he didn't even have a way to escape, this is going to fight us to the death..."

At this moment, suddenly the crowd of the enemy's slow advance trembled, and in an earth-shattering roar, everyone began to speed up, and the moment of decisive battle finally arrived.

"There was no shelling? the enemy really didn't shell ... No, no, no, they definitely didn't care about Viscount Alain's life, they must have run out of ammunition... Hahaha...... Brethren, the Austrian artillery is out of ammunition, and our greatest threat has been lifted..."

Xiao Letian jumped and shouted excitedly in the command headquarters, but the soldiers in the trenches didn't bother him, and everyone's eyes were focused on the black-pressed enemy army.

"200 meters ready...... One hundred and fifty meters ready for ...... 100 meters ready ...... What a panic, the position is so narrow, no matter how many of them face us, the number of people facing us head-on is fixed, don't be afraid to stabilize me......"

"Eighty meters ready...... Fifty meters of preparation...... Grenade preparation...... Blow them up..."With the high-pitched military orders of the officers, an iron lump suddenly rose into the air in the trench and flew straight towards the crowd.

Boom Boom Boom ...... A cloud of smoke and dust rose from the crowd of Austrian soldiers, and the distance of 50 meters was the passing result of the Prussian army in throwing grenades, and there was no problem at all with this distance.

"The enemy is getting closer to the first line of trenches...... Fire... Fire... Kill them..."In the roar of the grenade, hundreds of Mauser shots were fired in a row, and from a distance it sounded like a continuous thunder.

Bullets whizzed across the battlefield, Austrian soldiers were thrown down in pieces like cut leeks, and in the densest part of the crowd, a single bullet could penetrate the bodies of two or three soldiers.

These Austrians, who had just rushed to the edge of the trenches, stood on the pile of dirt and were as obvious as wooden men on a shooting range, and such a target did not need to be aimed at at all, you just had to load silently and pull the trigger, and you did not have to think about the problem of hit rate at all.

The corpses of the Austrians fell into the trenches like dumplings, and the battlefield was full of mourning... Xiao Letian began to wonder a little, he didn't know where the motivation for these Austrian troops to charge frantically was, but when he heard the shouts of the officers in the enemy charging group, he suddenly realized.

"Charge...... Damn waste rushed to charge...... What is the reason for the fact that you eat the best military rations in the empire, receive the highest salaries, and get the best weapons?"

"You remember, it's because the Thorn Gardener has the highest percentage of nobles of any army in the Empire... It's because of us nobles that we have brought you such favorable conditions... Now is the time for you to repay your kindness, rush up and rescue Viscount Alain..."

"No one is allowed to retreat, and those who retreat are immediately shot... Don't want to be deserters, the doors of the Imperial Military Court are open, and deserters will end up in a dead end..."

In the shouts of countless officers, the Austrian army was squeezed out of the last trace of morale, relying on the illusory sense of security brought by the large number of people, everyone rushed forward feverishly.

Xiao Letian knows very well in his heart that when the battle is fought, there is no need for any strategists to strategize in the command headquarters, and now it is a battle of wills, a game of life for life, and addition and subtraction between charge intensity and firepower intensity.

"Maintain the density of firepower, and you must not let go of the fish that slip through the net...... What about the sword drawing team, Master Long, you will take the knife drawing team to fight the fire for me on the battlefield, and you will block me wherever it is breached......

Xiao Letian's vocal cords were about to be torn, he had no hand-to-hand combat skills, but he had never dropped the rifle shooting training, and the Mauser was no slower than the soldiers in firing at all.

The brutality of modern warfare is evident from this charge, where the density of the crowd and the density of bullets become a cold and ruthless mathematical formula, and the density of bullets is greater than the density of crowds, and you can hold your position.

But the real war is not acting, not a Hollywood movie in later generations, nor is it Xiao Letian's favorite computer game in his previous life. In a real war, you are facing a series of living lives, and one of the things you do is to try your best to end the other party's life and survive.

Countless Hamburg recruits have gone crazy now, they mechanically reload and shoot, and they even let out a wolf-like roar as they watch the corpses fall into the trenches layer after layer of corpses on the opposite side, and some even kill people while crying.

Behind the crowd of chargers, Count Tarbrice and Brigadier Commander Pengka galloped with the soldiers of their respective guard companies, shouting for battle to cheer up their soldiers.

"Charge... All charged... No matter how big the sacrifice, we only want Stone Bridge Heights..."

"The soldier stepped down, I shot the squad leader, the squad leader stepped down, I shot the platoon commander, the platoon commander stepped down, I shot the company commander...... And so it went on until I was done, and at last the king himself shot me, the earl... Victory, death..."

This time, the Thorn Flower Master was real, under the personal supervision of all the senior officers, the soldiers who were threatened with death rushed to the high ground one after another, and the corpses fell into the trenches, seeing that the two-meter-deep trenches were about to be filled.

There will be loopholes in the stubborn guards, and there will be moments of slackness, and there will always be some lucky soldiers who dodge the bullets and jump off the trenches alive, they hide in the piles of corpses to accumulate strength, and when four or five people are in groups, they rush into the communication trenches and kill them towards the second and third trenches.

"Broken through, the first trench has already been broken through ... The whole army pressed on and annihilated the enemy in one fell swoop..."
