Hong Tiancheng's four divisions of the Heavenly King's Guards and 5,000 French chasers attacked the Czech and Slovak uprisings from north to south, while Leopold I of Austria led an army loyal to the Habsburgs to attack the Czech Republic and Slovakia from the south to the north.

At the same time, the combined forces of the German nobles, loyal to the Habsburgs, launched an offensive against the areas of the Hungarian independent uprising.

The Austrian Habsburgs were full of contempt for this group of mud-legged rebels, and even though most of the main elite were consumed in the previous war with the Taipings, they still launched two offensives at the same time.

Of course, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which had more abundant and more elite troops, also launched a two-way offensive, in addition to the one led by Hong Tiancheng, the 5th and 6th Tianwang Guards Divisions deployed on the border of the Duchy of Brandenburg, carrying 10 12-pounder mountain howitzers, marched towards Berlin!

Frederick, who had lost almost all of his main elite, could only rely on recruits and mercenaries to fight, the combat ability and combat morale of the recruits were very poor, and the tactics of the mercenaries were already behind the era of line columns, so under the attack of the two divisions of the Heavenly King's Guard, Brandenburg's army was crushed.

The 12-pounder mountain howitzer has once again become a siege weapon, and every time a new weapon appears, it will bring great panic to people, which is the instinctive fear of the unknown in human beings, and during the attack on Brandenburg, although the soldiers have already been informed of the information of the Taiping Army's 12-pounder mountain howitzer, the large-scale destruction of the shrapnel is the first time that this group of recruits and mercenaries have encountered it.

The Brandenburg army, which was always crowded together in a dense formation, was bombed by shrapnel and cried out to their mother, and sometimes they raised the white flag and surrendered without even using the hands of the Heavenly King's Guard......

In just one month's effort, the Duchy of Brandenburg, which could be ranked among the upper echelons of the German states, fell completely, followed by a series of small German states such as Saxony, Hamburg, Hanover, etc., the strength of these German states could not be compared with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the main force was all annihilated in the battle of East Prussia, in the face of the Taiping army's overwhelming attack, in addition to surrendering or running away......

At first, Frederick also led the soldiers and nobles loyal to him, fighting and retreating, and marching and retreating together with his allies, but three months later, the territory of the German states that had been united against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had fallen to more than eighty percent, and Frederick knew that the general situation was gone, and took the initiative to surrender to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with the remaining recalcitrant German nobles.

These surrendered German nobles, under the 'courtesy' of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, were able to keep all their possessions and return to their hometowns to become rich men with empty titles of nobility......

The fiefs and privileges of the German aristocracy were all taken back by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and taken over by a large number of basic administrative officials sent by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Originally, Hong Tiancheng planned to annex half of Germany into the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but although the German aristocratic rebels collapsed, the low-level commoners were unwilling to accept the rule of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The reason is simple, the Germans do not want to be a 'second-class race'!

The Russian Empire and the United Cossack Emirates, although they were also the political younger brothers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, did not have a division of racial hierarchies in the country, so they had a certain combat effectiveness, and there were no resistance guerrillas in the country.

But if it is directly ruled by the Taiping Army, it will be different, the Poles and Lithuanians were treated like dogs by the Taiping Army, and the Germans are not unaware!

Originally, Hong Tiancheng planned to wait until the Czechs and Slovakia put down the rebellion, and then take the main force of the four divisions of the Heavenly King's Guards to the occupied German lands, carry out several 'great purges', just like the Poles and Lithuanians, and then harvest a sparsely populated but clean and tidy territory.

It's a pity that things didn't go according to people's wishes, and Hong Tianwei thought that the armed uprising that suppressed the Czech and Slovak nations would be captured, but he didn't think about it, but he fell into the quagmire of war!

The Czechs and Slovaks, under the attack of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Austrian Habsburgs in the north and south, sincerely cooperated, and became the independent rebel army of Czechoslovakia.

They rarely fought regular battles with large Austrian and Taiping armies, but took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and constantly attacked the weak points of the Taipings and Austrian armies through ambushes and guerrilla warfare.

In addition, the Czechs and Slovaks launched the slogan of the National War of Resistance, and all men of school age, even able-bodied women, took up arms and stepped onto the battlefield!

Everywhere in the city lanes, forest paths, winding paths of mountains and rivers, etc., there are Czechoslovak partisan forces, who do not have uniform uniforms and weapons, and are no different from civilians on weekdays.

As a result, the Taipings and Austrian Habsburgs easily captured the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but then entered into a long war for law and order.

Hong Tiancheng thought that he had fulfilled his obligations to Leopold I, and once again transferred 5,000 French chasseurs, all 10,000 French chasers to the occupied area, and used the mobility of the cavalry to fight a law and order war, while he drove to Berlin with four divisions and regiments of Tianwang's Guard, which had almost no battle damage, intending to suppress and rule Germany.

But as soon as Hong Tiancheng left with the main force of the Taiping Army on the front foot, a large-scale counteroffensive of the Czechoslovak coalition army broke out behind!

The French chasers who were scattered and stationed in the place were beaten in just one month, and the towns and even cities they occupied were lost one after another, and the French chasers, whose morale was not die-hard, appeared in a domino rout under the general trend!

10,000 French chasers disappeared from Hong Tiancheng's personal panel military statistics in less than a month!

This huge change can't help but confuse Hong Tiancheng......

He never expected that in the seemingly unhindered law and order war, the Czechoslovak guerrillas would be able to break out in such a 'mighty', and more importantly, the morale of the non-die-hard French chasseurs obtained by lottery would collapse so quickly!

This situation taught Hong Tian a lesson - don't use the non-die-hard troops obtained by the lottery for front-line battles alone......

Of course, it was not only the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that suffered, but also the army of the Austrian Habsburg Dynasty suffered extremely heavy losses, and was raided and besieged by the Czechoslovak coalition army, and the last tens of thousands of people in the Kingdom of Austria were all surrounded!

On the other hand, the German coalition forces loyal to Leopold I who attacked the Hungarians were also driven back by the Hungarian counteroffensive, and the Kingdom of Austria was completely defeated in the war on both sides!
