Chapter 381: The Blue Storm Ends (Red Envelope Plus Update)
The Rhine League, which was integrated www.biquge.info the National Guard, did not purge the aristocracy, which is why those small countries were willing to become vassals of the French Republic!
Although the National Guard slogan is to liberate the poor, they are in fact only waging a war of aggression as conquerors!
Naturally, the morale of such a National Guard has dropped a lot compared with that during the Great Patriotic War, but due to the encouragement of successive victories and the agitation of the radical faction, the morale of the National Guard is still generally higher than that of the European monarchy!
In this form, the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Sweden and other Prussian monarchies in the east sent troops, rendezvous with the Prussian elite led by Frederick the Great, and set up a cordon in Saxony to deal with the attack of the National Guard of the French Republic!
Together with the Republic of Venice, the Kingdom of Austria was to support the National Guard of the Italian Peninsula against the Second French Republic!
Soon, the National Guard of the French Republic, which suffered little losses on the second road, was the first to fight with the troops of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and then to the Kingdom of Sardinia in various ways......
The nearly 100,000 troops of the Kingdom of Sardinia were easily defeated, and the National Guard was unforgiving, pursuing all the way, fighting with the army of the Republic of Genoa, the army of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, the army of the Papal State, etc., until the summer of the 50th year of the Han Dynasty, the second road of the National Guard, large and small, fought more than 50 battles!
More than forty of them were victorious!
Since then, the entire Italian peninsula, except for the Kingdom of Sicily, which barely resisted, and the Kingdom of Sardinia, which has only one remaining Sardinia, has been reduced to a racecourse for the carnival of the National Guard!
When the city of Rome was surrounded by the French tricolor flag of the National Guard, the Pope personally signed a series of unequal treaties with the representatives of the Radicals, heralding the end of a large-scale campaign throughout the Italian peninsula!
In the second month of the same year after the surrender of the Papal States, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, under the auspices of the National Guard, signed a peace treaty recognizing the French Republic as a protectorate, and subsequently the Kingdom of Sardinia submitted a surrender table to the French Republic......
It can be said that the Second Route National Guard achieved an unprecedented victory, with which the entire Italian peninsula was conquered!
Since the defeat of the countries of the Italian peninsula was so quick and complete, that the alliance between the Kingdom of Austria and the Republic of Venice ended before they could be gathered, and the frightened Republic of Venice immediately announced in public that it had withdrawn from the anti-French alliance and remained neutral!
The Kingdom of Austria, for its part, moved its troops back to its borders and waited to see the outcome of the battle in the direction of the Kingdom of Prussia......
Unlike the smooth sailing of the Italian peninsula, the good fortune of the First Route National Guard, after integrating the Rhine League, seems to have come to an end!
In the first battle of the Duchy of Hanover, the vanguard of the First Route National Guard was crushed by the Hannover troops, supported by 10,000 Prussian troops!
The angry leaders of the Fork faction immediately mobilized 400,000 main forces of the National Guard to besiege the Duchy of Hannover and push Hannover to the ground at a terrible price!
However, although the National Guard completely occupied the Duchy of Hanover and slaughtered and plundered the nobles of the Duchy of Hanover who did not have time to escape, nearly half of the casualties caused the morale of the First National Guard to suffer a significant drop for the first time!
Many National Guard soldiers have wondered why they are continuing the war when they have won so many victories.
However, the Radicals quickly silenced this voice and began the Battle of Saxony in a frenzy!
The First Route of the National Guard, which had lost much strength, became struggling to attack Saxony and withdrew in disarray under the attack of the combined forces of the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Sweden, which arrived later!
The Battle of Saxony seems to have become a turning point for the first National Guard, the Prussian elite led by Frederick the Great himself, blocked the main force of the retreating National Guard on the edge of a small town, and after the two sides encountered in the field, Frederick the Great used an improved version of the slash tactic, first storming the relatively weak left flank of the National Guard, and then using the fierce discipline of the Prussian soldiers to flank the National Guard in the middle lane!
The first road of continuous demoralization, I don't know how much the National Guard was discounted, where could it stop Frederick the Great's sharp attack?
Under the final fatal blow of the Prussian cavalry, the entire National Guard completely collapsed!
Frederick the Great, in order to get rid of it once and for all, went on a week-long hunt for the collapsing National Guard!
Frederick the Great brought ninety percent of the cavalry troops of the Prussian kingdom this time, and the first National Guard was routed by the Prussian cavalry......
The leaders and generals of the First Route National Guard were all killed, the entire First Route National Guard was completely dissipated, and the 500,000 First Route National Guard, which once integrated the Rhine League, disappeared!
When the news reached the French Republic, the whole country was shocked, and the anti-French alliance, whose morale was low, suddenly became reassured, and all became proactive!
Frederick the Great of the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Kingdom of Austria and some scattered small states formed a coalition of more than 400,000 troops, and drove in the direction of the Italian Peninsula!
The Second Route National Guard, which has just conquered the Italian peninsula, has achieved brilliant results and its morale is very high, even though the French Republic has issued a recall order and put forward a will for peace, but the Second Route National Guard, which has been completely controlled by the Radicals, is also the only one, but the National Guard has shown signs of warlords, and it is not at all against the orders of the French Republic, and insists on breaking hands with the coalition led by Frederick the Great!
The French Republic attaches great importance to this last of the experienced National Guards, and even if they do not obey orders, they do not dare to cut off their logistics, after all, the soldiers of the entire French Republic who have actual combat experience are now in the National Guard......
The French volunteers, who had just put up a shelf, were of little merit but morale......
However, the Rhine League and the conquered countries of the Italian Peninsula, because they were afraid of the remaining 500,000 National Guards, did not turn against the Anti-French Alliance, and Frederick the Great and others did not force them to express their position, everyone knew very well that as long as the Second National Guard was defeated, whether it was the Italian Peninsula or the Rhine League, they would completely return to their previous state and fall to the Anti-French Alliance!
In this way, the armies of the two sides of equal strength met on a plain on the border between the Kingdom of Switzerland and the Republic of Venice, and a decisive battle to stop the blue storm from sweeping across the continent was about to begin!
