Chapter 112: Soldiers Descend on the City
A short time later, the deputy commander of Vojvodina came to the camp of the Moravian Army Regiment, and his purpose was simple: to greet the colonel of Vojvodina, who had not shown up at the time, and wanted to invite them to a banquet.
Andre silently exchanged glances with the staff officer, and his inner speculation had begun to be somewhat confirmed.
"We'll naturally attend the banquet, but I'm ...... here."
Andrei smiled apologetically, and the lieutenant colonel nodded very understandingly, saying that the banquet would take some time, and this time was enough for Andre to arrange everything in the camp, and at the same time he also said that he could arrange the soldiers to help.
Help? Now Andrei is still hiding before he will take the initiative to cause trouble for himself, politely refusing the other party, until the lieutenant colonel and deputy head of the regiment left, Andrei's brows frowned.
"What should we do now?"
In the face of Andrei's inquiry, the staff officer also seemed a little helpless, and Andrei had no choice but to gather most of the high-level officers to discuss in a unified manner.
The Moravian Army Regiment showed its weakness at this time, they were too young to be a little flustered at the slightest setback.
The Vojvodina Army Regiment was naturally much stronger than the Moravian Army Regiment, although it was understood that they could not be fully formed, but this was not something that Andrei and his team could handle.
"Taking the initiative to attack will only startle the snake, and we may not be their opponent head-on."
Not perhaps, but for sure, but at this moment Andrei didn't want to disappoint the officers too much.
"Then we ......"
"Chief of Staff Tiger, you are in charge here, I and a few staff officers will go to the banquet of the colonel, you are ready to take the camp at any time."
The words "anytime" and "seize the camp" were sandwiched together to make Deputy Chief of Staff Tiger very embarrassed, and he knew that his every move was likely to put Andre in a dead place.
Although he was also one of the guards who followed Ernst to Moravia from the Vatican, he knew that his identity and abilities were far inferior to Andrei, and if Andrei was not good here, how should he explain it to the Count?
Thinking of this, Deputy Chief of Staff Tiger wanted to open his mouth to say something, but before he could speak, Andrei had already said very seriously: "If you go, then this matter will have no meaning." ”
Bowing his head in frustration, Tiger understood that Andrei was talking about things, he was not the commander of the Moravian Army Regiment after all, and the main person invited by the people was not him but Andrei.
The only thing Tiger can do now is to ensure Andrei's safety as much as possible, and how to ensure it depends on whether they move quickly or the Vojvodina Army Regiment reacts in a timely manner.
A covert encounter is about to begin, and in Szeged, Ernst is using his royal status to comfort the soldiers of the wounded barracks. It is estimated that even Ernst himself could not have imagined that his casual actions left a very good impression on him in the Austro-Plenian military.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The noise came from the doorway, and Ernst, who was watching the field doctor bandage the wounds of the wounded soldiers, couldn't help but frown and look at the door.
More than twenty soldiers rushed in, and then a large number of wounded were carried in, and Ernst couldn't help but stand up.
This is Szeged, although nominally rear, but this is not a battle between the two countries but a suppression of the rebellion.
The rebels were not very strong, they were just messing around in the wild towns, and they had not captured a single city in the Austro-Hungarian Empire until now.
As a result, a large number of wounded soldiers were left in the local towns, and only a relatively small number were transported here to recuperate, but now ......
The blood stains on the wounded indicate that they had just experienced a brutal war, and when did the flames of war burn to the borders of Austria-Hungary?
"Which of you is their commander?"
The busy major had seen it before, and when he saw a seven or eight-year-old boy, he couldn't help but want to reprimand.
"This is the second son of Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince and Count of Moravia!"
The head of a wounded barracks next to him saw that things were not going well and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, and the reprimand that almost came out was forced back by the major, and his face was a little red as he looked at Ernst's honorary brigadier general uniform and gave a military salute.
"Lord Earl, I am their commander."
"Major, why do they seem to have just been brought back from the battlefield?"
"Lord Count, we have just withdrawn from the battlefield, the army in front has been defeated, and now the rebels in Vojvodina have reached a distance of 15 kilometers from here."
There was another commotion outside, but this time it was no longer the wounded soldier but the front-line commander, Lieutenant General Gnass.
"You must get out of here at once, Lord Count!"
Lieutenant General Gunners was categorical in his words that he could not refuse, but Ensen was not prepared to refuse, he knew his identity, and such a dangerous thing would not be his turn.
Nodding his head, Ernst turned around and left without saying much, there was no contempt or disdain in the eyes of the soldiers in the wounded barracks, which seemed to them to be a normal thing.
Horses neighed, and even though the cavalry had declined, cavalry still held a very important position in some small battles.
Because no one expected the rebels to break through the blockade of the Austro-Hungarian army, there were not too many barriers and lines of defense between Hungary and Vojvodina.
A strategic shift of the rebels caught Austria-Hungary off guard, and they were also pinned down by various circumstances, and for a while the rebels had broken through the border and approached the city of Szeged.
By the time Cosimo hurriedly packed his things, the rebels were already less than 6 kilometers away from Szeged, and although they had suffered heavy casualties, their numbers remained at more than 3,000.
How many garrisons were there in Szeged at this time? However, 600, and some of these 600 are civilian personnel, and the embarrassing situation is clear at a glance.
At the same time, Andrei had already thwarted the conspiracy of the deputy commander of the regiment, but the Moravian side did not have much advantage, and the deputy chief of staff of the Tiger moved at a time when the Vojvodina Army regiment was retreating.
It is no longer appropriate to say that the Vojvodina Army Regiment is no longer appropriate, or that the Vojvodina rebels are correct, but no matter how they are called, the retreating rebels found Deputy Chief of Staff Tiger and the soldiers he had brought with him, and the battle began.
The deputy commander of Vojvodina persuaded almost two-thirds of the troops, and although some of the nearly 2,000 soldiers were leaving, the more than 700 that had not yet left were not something that the Moravian army could handle.
In a one-on-one battle, the Moravian side would naturally win, but now the goal was not to win, but to delay the Moravian Army regiment so that the others could have time to retreat.
Andrei, who was played by the empty city plan, also quickly returned to his team, and Andrei, who was very angry, ordered a fierce attack.
Fortunately, Ernst had prepared all the equipment for them, and if it were not for this, the losses of the Moravian Army would have been even greater.
Although less than half of the more than 5,000 soldiers were dispatched, they were held back for more than half an hour by more than 700 soldiers of the Vojvodina Army Regiment, and the losses of the Moravian Army Regiment were nearly twice that of the soldiers of the Vojvodina Army Regiment.
