Things turned out to be as Ernst had imagined, and Szeged did not lose control, but was just a little anxious and flustered by the temporary loss of his commander.

When the command was re-ordered, Szeged's garrison drove the rebels out again with the courage of the moment, but no one knew that the whereabouts of Lieutenant General Ragnar were now unknown, and they were commanded only by a seven-year-old Imperial brigadier general and a group of lieutenant colonels, major staff officers, and civilian officers.

Lieutenant General Ragnar was nowhere to be found, and the officers of the command, including Ernst, understood that the fall of Szeged was only a matter of time, and the only thing they could do now was to gather as much strength as possible around them, not to protect themselves but to gather the Szeged soldiers to pose a threat to the rebels.

20…… 50…… 130, the number of soldiers in the command was increasing, but the faces of the staff officers were becoming more and more ugly, and Ernst, who was a little puzzled, looked at Cosimo.

"It's not good, the more people we gather here, the more people we have here, the rest of the place is out of control, Lord Earl, you must make sure that you are in a safe place."

It's not a joke at this time, looking at the very serious Cosimonian Character nodding, no one understands the preciousness of life better than him, and there are times when he should stand up, but it is definitely not at this moment.

Two soldiers with the latest rifles of the Moravian Army Regiment were already crouched on the roof of the third floor of the headquarters, and their purpose was simple: to take out the opposing commander as soon as the rebels approached them.

As the time passed, about half an hour or so, more than 300 soldiers had gathered in the headquarters, and by this time the number of soldiers had begun to slow down, and the officers who knew that the big war was coming.

"Your Royal Highness, this is Major Cauchy, and he is in charge of the defense problems here now."

During the introduction of a staff officer, Major Cauchy gave Ernst a military salute very respectfully, even though Ernst was only a seven-year-old child, but here there was no doubt that Ernst was the one with the highest rank.

"Major Cauchy, I'll leave everything here to you."

This is a very strict officer, and the best way to deal with such an officer is to take everything very seriously, just like Ernst at this time.

"The glory of Austria-Hungary is my glory!"

Ernst did not expect that this man was still from a noble background, but only served as a small major in the army, which undoubtedly showed that even if he was born from a noble family, his family was now in decline.

Major Cauchy's attitude relieved Ernst a little, after all, he seemed to be a very capable officer, and if the person in charge who had just stood in front of Ernst only knew how to brag, then Ernst would have to consider whether to let his own guards take over the security of the headquarters.

In the commander's office, Ernst sat in a place where he would not be hit by stray bullets, and beside him were nervous Cosimos, Ernst's last line of defense.

The sporadic gunfire was getting closer and closer, and soon the first shot came from downstairs, and this seemed to be taking the lead, but in an instant, there were not only gunshots below, but there was also a stray bullet that hit the wall on the second floor, and the shocked people in the room couldn't help but get closer to Ernst.

Naturally, there were soldiers on the second floor who actually shot in the woods, and those soldiers fell in front of Ernst one by one, and in less than ten minutes, the soldiers in front of Ernst had completely changed to another wave, just ...... Most of them seem to have no hope of survival.

Outside the command

"General, we won't capture ...... anytime soon"

"You should understand our mission, we only have 1 hour to go, this 1 hour you have to capture this place for me no matter what, no matter what!"

No one knows where Ragnar is going better than the rebel generals, they only have 2 hours to attack Szeged, and now 1 hour has passed, if they can't take this place next, then they have only one way to retreat.

"Ragnar will have reinforcements?"

"If it is indeed the second son of Archduke Ferdinand, Ragnar himself cannot find reinforcements, then it can only be said that Austria-Hungary is no longer afraid."

The rebel lieutenant colonel who spoke thought that this was indeed the case, and those nobles really could not let the second son of Archduke Ferdinand die in the army, otherwise they would never end up much better than this one in the command.

"Only by taking this place can we have the capital to negotiate with Austria-Hungary, and we can't take it...... Dying here is also a good option. ”

Smiling slightly, the rebel general showed his white teeth, but the lieutenant colonel who heard the words did not think so, he was not in his thirties, he still had a long way to go, he didn't want to die here.

Hurriedly went to supervise the battle, and for a moment the gunfire became more and more intense.

"Aim at that one, he must be the only person in charge of the rebels!"

The two on the roof of the building have not opened until now, not because they don't want to, but they are reluctant to take such an opportunity, once they shoot the other party's commander, they will naturally know their existence, and it will be difficult to catch the other party.

Looking at the layers of people rushing below, although the enemy is still outside the headquarters, Ernst can only rely on the three floors of this headquarters building now.

When the two snipers were anxious, they happened to see the lieutenant colonel who appeared, although he was dressed no different from the other soldiers, but he kept opening and closing his mouth as if he was reprimanding, if he was not a high-level who was?

Touch!

The first gunshot rang out, and although it was nothing on the battlefield, the rebels were slightly flustered as an officer next to the lieutenant colonel suddenly fell to the ground.

The sniper shook his head in disappointment, he didn't expect that the impact of different regions would be so great, and the slightest deflection of bullets would deprive him of the best chance to shoot.

Syllable!

The muffled sound of gunfire beside him came, and the sniper didn't need to look to know that his companion was shooting, and looked directly at the rear of the rebels, where the commander Hao Ran was already lying on the ground just now.

Rebel Generals' ......

"General! General, there are snipers in the command, Your Excellency the Lieutenant Colonel has been killed! ”

The guards looked panicked, the target of the sniper was the high-ranking officers, and the guards around them were also quite unsafe, and it was natural to be a little panicked.

"Sniper?"

The general was stunned when he heard this, such a word appeared very early, but there are not many people who can really be called snipers, talent is one thing, and guns also occupy a very important part.

It is quite normal to say that there were several snipers in the first-class army of Austria-Hungary, but in Szeged ...... This incident did come as a surprise to the rebel generals.
