Chapter 1022: The Battle between the Manchus and Austria (4)

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The Qing army was shelled every less than twenty seconds, and the Austrian flint team was able to show that they suffered heavy casualties under such heavy shelling." 2.

With another round of artillery bombardment, no less than 300 Austrian flint muskets were killed and wounded, plus the bullets fired by the Qing rifle team in front and the arrows fired by the Qing cavalry on the left, the casualties of the Austrian flint team were too fast, and in less than a stick of incense, they lost more than 10,000 yuan.

The balance of the war was completely tilted in favor of the Qing army, and the situation was extremely unfavorable for the Austro-Serbian army, and the Austrian commander Salmonburg was full of anger.

Of course, although he was angry, he did not see the slightest fear of defeat in Salmonburg's eyes, and perhaps he still had something to rely on.

As the number of casualties mounted, and when less than 7,000 remained, the Austrian flint began to waver, and most of the soldiers looked terrified, a precursor to an impending rout.

In addition to the Austrian flintlock team, the Serbian army, facing the siege of the Qing army with one and a half times and its own, plus almost no weapons and armor, was defeated by the Qing army from the beginning, and now it has lost nearly 10,000 soldiers, although there are nearly 40,000 soldiers, but the Serbian army, the same military spirit is floating, the fear is becoming more and more obvious, and there are also signs of rout, as long as the other two battlefields, any one is defeated first, the Serbian army will inevitably follow.

On the other side of the cavalry battlefield, more than 7,000 Qing cavalry, 2,000 Austrian cavalry, and 8,000 Austrian infantry were inseparable, and for a while and a half, no side could occupy a clear upper hand.

"Pass the order, the combined Austrian and Serbian armies are about to be defeated, let the armies prepare to pursue and destroy the remnants of the enemy!" Dolgon, concerned about the battlefield, suddenly gave the order.

Although it is only a simple sentence, it is enough to inspire all Qing soldiers to kill the enemy more bravely and defeat the enemy more stupidly.

Sure enough, after Dolgon's order was conveyed, the Qing army knew the news of the imminent rout of the Austrian and Serbian alliances, and their morale was boosted and their combat effectiveness was suddenly increased.

From top to bottom, the Qing army's combat effectiveness increased sharply, and the Austro-Serbian coalition army was caught off guard at once, and began to retreat in a comprehensive way.

"Kill, ----" The Qing army took advantage of the situation to increase the offensive, and the Austro-Serbian coalition army was defeated and retreated faster, and it was about to evolve into a full-scale rout.

If this war is lost, Serbia will inevitably be captured by the Qing army, and the Austrian hinterland will once again face a great threat, and he will not only lose all honor, but also become a sinner of Austria.

"Hold on! Resist! Salmonburg roared loudly, trying to salvage the situation, or to delay a little longer.

However, there were no other surprises, how could it be possible to change the current situation, even if Salmonburg shouted too loudly.

The rout of the Austro-Serbian army is getting faster and faster, and after a few more moments, the defeat will be like a mountain, and no accident can be undone.

Just when the Qing army was uplifted and the Austro-Serbian coalition army was desperate.

"Bang bang bang ----bang" A round of dense gunfire suddenly sounded from the north, and immediately after, a large group of Austrian troops appeared, constantly pressing towards the battlefield, which turned out to be Austrian reinforcements.

"Hahahaha, God forbid! God forbid! Reinforcements from my Austria have finally arrived in time! Feeling that the Austrian reinforcements arrived in time, the commander of the Austrian army, Salmonburg, burst into tears, and this war finally had a chance to turn around.

At the beginning, when Zihar and other Qing troops were defeated and retreated to Kosovo, Dolgon led 34,000 Qing troops to support and continue to attack Serbia.

This is why, at the time of the war, the Austro-Serbau coalition was absolutely inferior, but Salmonburg still did not have any despair, because he estimated that reinforcements from Austria would arrive within this time.

At that time, the strength of the Austro-Serbian coalition will increase, and to win the war, at least Salmonburg will not think it will be difficult.

When Austrian reinforcements arrived, the Austro-Serbian coalition army, which had just faced a complete rout, suddenly stopped the momentum of the rout and continued to turn around and fight fiercely with the Qing army.

"Hateful! Austrian reinforcements arrived at this time! Dolgon's face was so angry that he could have won in a moment, and at that time, even if Austrian reinforcements arrived, it would be useless, but now it was different, the Austro-Serbian coalition did not collapse, but Austrian reinforcements arrived.

Seeing the phalanx of Austrian reinforcements continue to appear, I am afraid that there are no less than 25,000 people, and there are also 20,000 flint muskets, Dolgon's face is even more ugly.

"Regent, there are about 25,000 people in the Austrian reinforcement region, and I will definitely be able to defeat them!" Zihar said to Dolgon.

The Qing army was conceited, even if Austria came with 25,000 reinforcements, the number of the Austro-Serbian coalition army was only equal to the current Qing army, although the Qing army did not have more rifle teams to fight against the new Austrian 20,000 flint rifle team, but the Qing army had 80 cannons, and it was not impossible to defeat the reinforcements after the arrival of the reinforcements.

Dolgon, however, did not agree.

"The time has passed, if we continue to fight, even if the Qing Dynasty still wins, I am afraid it will be difficult to take Serbia!" Dorgon shook his head and said.

"Why is that?" Hearing Dolgon say this, Zihar was shocked and asked in confusion.

"After the arrival of Austrian reinforcements, there is not much difference between the current strength of our Qing army, even if we can still defeat the Austro-Serbian coalition army after the strength is enhanced, our Qing army will definitely not have much left, it will not be realistic to quickly capture Serbia, and if you can't quickly capture Serbia, Austria will continue to send troops to support Serbia, even if I also send more troops and horses, Austria will definitely continue to send more troops and horses, and then my Qing Dynasty will once again fall into a long-term confrontation with the Ottoman Empire, it is not worth it for Serbia!" Dorgon explained.

The invasion of Serbia and the direct access to the Austrian hinterland to the north were the comfort of the Ottoman Empire threatening Austria at this moment, and Serbia took advantage of the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in Damascus to immediately become independent, with the support of Austria behind it.

Serbia has a great deal to do with Austria, and Austria will not let Serbia fall into the hands of the Manchus again at all costs, and if the Qing army cannot quickly capture Serbia, Austria will inevitably devote all its national strength to Serbia and the Qing army, which Dolgon does not want to see.
