Chapter 377: A Terrifying Victory
No matter what Charles VI tried to stop, it would still happen, and people cared about his opinion, but people didn't really do what he said.
Especially since this matter also involved the Church and the Holy See, and the Church went to war, and Charles VI had no more to say.
Eventually, the Wittelsbach family and the church army of the Holy See joined forces and entered the Lebor region from the western pass in the Leber region.
An army of nearly 100,000 marched all the way, aiming directly at the city of Leiber, and they did not hesitate at all, nor did they have any tactics, that is, to use this absolute power to crush Eugen and completely crush the city of Leiber.
The lords who watched the battle had already mourned for the city of Lebor again, and they were able to establish such a feat in a year, and they all felt that Eugen was a talent, but unfortunately now this talent was too out-of-the-box, and finally offended those who could not be offended, and had to pay the price for their rebellion.
Maria, who was in Vienna, was also heartbroken, and she even said that if something happened to Eugen, she would do her best to eradicate the Wittelsbach family once she ascended the throne.
As the heir of the emperor, this kind of talk still has some deterrent effect, but the imperial power is still weakened after all, although the Duke of Lorraine is old, but he is not afraid of the threat of a girl, so Maria's words are also ignored.
The combined forces of the Wittelsbach family and the Holy See continued to advance towards the city of Lebour, encountering no decent resistance along the way, as if Eugen had completely abandoned the Lebor region.
The more this happened, the more rampant the soldiers of the coalition became, and the Duke of Lorraine let out an arrogant laugh from time to time, as if he had seen that he had captured the city of Leber, with a large amount of resources in his hands, and gold coins everywhere, which were constantly pouring towards him.
There are chambers of commerce all over the country and even the world, which are like huge gold-absorbing pockets, collecting gold coins from all over the world for him.
The nobles in the country all think that Eugen wants to defend the city of Leber, although the European stock record is proud, but in such a comparison of strength, even if it is a battle to defend the city, it is impossible to occupy too much advantage, and the change will still happen.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that this time, the army in Eugen's hands actually left the city of Lyber, and they did not hide their whereabouts, and they just greeted the large army of the coalition army in a grand manner.
The news was transmitted throughout the country, causing bursts of exclamations, some praising Eugen for his bravery, others insulting him for his shamelessness, and others, hearing the news, rushed directly to the local branch of the Central Bank of Lybre City, as if to withdraw their own money.
It's a pity that they have already signed an agreement before, and it is impossible for them to get the money out before the agreement expires.
In this way, Leber's dragon army came out of the city and collided with the coalition army at the foot of the Alps.
When the armies of the two sides met, the generals who commanded the troops did not hesitate and directly gave the order to go to war.
As soon as the order was delivered, the cavalry armies of the Wittelsbach family and the church rushed out like an unstoppable torrent.
The cavalry troops of the two of them together were tens of thousands, densely packed together like eagles flying from the ground, and the power of the light and heavy cavalry was very terrifying, and they charged together, which did not mean to take Eugen's soldiers in his eyes at all.
After the cavalry, there were brigades of infantry, musketeers, and archers, and at the beginning of the war, the coalition forces invested all their forces, as if to tear the dragon army apart directly.
And this time, the commander of the Dragon Camp Army is not Eugen, but Simon, and Eugen is still sitting in the city of Lebor at the moment, without any intention of panicking.
In the face of the enemy's attack, Simon led 10,000 men, all without any fear, and under his order, 10,000 soldiers pulled the line apart, stretched into a long line, and the machine gunners with heavy machine guns were scattered, supporting every corner of the battle line as nodes.
In order to ensure the continuity of shooting, the infantry was divided into three layers, and the soldiers of the front layer immediately took up the top of the soldiers of the back layer after shooting.
In this battle, the city of Lebor has done its best, and every soldier has hundreds of rounds of ammunition on his body, and tens of thousands of heavy machine guns have ammunition in reserve.
Not far behind the front were dense artillery positions, with small mortars stacked together, ready to provide artillery support at any time.
From a modern point of view, such a front is definitely not excellent, and it can even be said to be full of loopholes, but when they face those frantically charging armies of the old era, they show terrifying power.
When the coalition troops charged to a position about five hundred meters away from the Longxiang army's defensive line, Simon finally raised his rifle and fired the first shot.
With a snap, the gunfire was crisp and bright, and it resounded throughout the battlefield in an instant.
Then, a grand symphony was played in front of the world.
Bang bang bang, bang, bang!
The sound of gunfire and artillery was entangled, completely drowning out the coalition soldiers who rushed over, and a cloud of smoke suddenly rose on the flat ground, and the gunpowder burned with a pungent smell, filling the entire battlefield in an instant.
The bullet was told to shuttle through the battlefield, and when it hit the person, it was a huge bloody mouth, and the sound was so violent, like the thunder of God.
On such a fierce battlefield, the general's temporary orders could not be conveyed at all, and the soldiers were completely dizzy.
The light and heavy cavalry of the coalition that attacked first immediately seemed to have been bitten by an invisible huge monster, and a large piece collapsed in front of them in an instant.
And as the cavalry continued to charge, the rate of this collapse continued to accelerate.
The flames from the bomb explosion obscured the view, and a powerful shockwave tossed the fragments of the corpse into the air, splattering out in all directions.
When gunpowder and bullets ravaged the battlefield, human life seemed so cheap that it was easy for a whole swath to disappear into the world.
The warm June sun shone down on the land, but the Wittelsbach family and the soldiers of the Holy See could only feel the biting cold.
The moment the guns rang out, they suddenly realized that they would not get any honor as warriors if they died like this, and when the dead broke through a certain boundary, death was just a number.
These soldiers of the empire, purely with their own flesh and blood, are opening up this path to the front of the Longxiang army, but unfortunately, no matter how brave they are, their bodies cannot stop the bullets.
