At the critical moment, the Prussian Krupp steel guns were ready to fire, they opened fire at a distance of 4000 meters, directly suppressing the French artillery and machine guns.

The highland terrain was a good cover for the French soldiers, and when they saw the artillery fire, they only had to hide in the rear, which greatly ensured the safety of their lives.

But their machine guns and artillery were not so lucky, and after only a few hours most of the heavy equipment was no longer usable as the focus of Prussian artillery fire.

The battle continued into the afternoon, during which time Frederick III tried to restrain his troops and make them retreat, but the effect was not very significant.

The Germans suffered more casualties than the French in this battle, but the Germans were outnumbered and artillery, and in the end they managed to gain a foothold in Walter.

The French First Army could no longer bear the heavy casualties and returned to Freudskville to recuperate. This time, they were equivalent to directly exposing the left flank of the French army to the German army.

However, the soldiers of the French headquarters retreated, but while the regiment commander and most of the officers were killed, the African soldiers from Algeria still fought in the forest without fear of death.

Cruel and cunning, these African soldiers encouraged each other in Arabic to fight the enemy, not taking prisoners and not being prisoners.

Their stubborn struggle made it difficult for Prussia to advance from the breakthrough on the left flank, so they had to first set up a makeshift camp on the other side of the Sauer.

On one side, the Battle of Volta was underway, and on the other side, Alfonso received a reply from Austria-Hungary.

Perhaps it was the attack on Palermo that gave them a lot of confidence, and Emperor Franz was much tougher than before, promising to do his best to push the war with Italy, but at the same time he also wrote that it would take time.

At the same time as the letter was sent, Austria-Hungary, at the behest of the Imperial Family, quietly increased its baggage and arms reserves in Trento.

This was soon noticed by the Italians, who had yet another Sardinian port attacked, and their nerves were already very sensitive.

The Austro-Hungarians' petty move provoked a fierce response – the parliament overwhelmingly passed a bill to expand the army, and if nothing else, they would have an army of 350,000 men in three weeks.

The plan was good, and the government could grit its teeth and come up with the money, but a new problem arose for Italy...... The system of voluntary military service that they used to use is not working well!

In the past, because Italy had a large enough population and poor enough people, being a soldier was a good way out, so Italy never lacked soldiers.

But now that there is so much expansion in a short period of time, even Italy has a shortage of manpower.

It's not that young and middle-aged men can't be found to be soldiers, but that people don't want to be soldiers.

It is not difficult to understand that Italy broke the world record with an astonishing battle loss ratio of 19:3200 in the previous battle outside Rome, and it is impossible to hide it.

Even if the government and the army try to throw the blame on Chartini's head, it will inevitably make the people mutter: Will they be the next cannon fodder?

And everyone has seen the ferocity of Spain, and now it is very likely that they will be sent to the battlefield in Rome when they join the army, and they want to make money as soldiers, not to die!

Therefore, on September 27, three days after the order was issued, the total number of recruits recruited at the recruitment points in Florence and other cities was less than 4,000.

If this continues, the conscription plan will certainly not be completed, and the government and the army are anxious but at a loss.

They had the intention of imposing Prussian compulsory military service, but the big war was imminent, and it was too late.

The only way to do this is to win a battle and reinvigorate confidence at home.

So the firefighter Garibaldi was once again ordered to become the commander-in-chief of the Italian Volunteer Army and the Italian Regular Army.

The pressure on Prim suddenly increased, with the same number, Garibaldi has not tasted defeat, not to mention that this time the Italians are far more numerous than the Spanish.

Garibaldi had never fought such a rich battle!

Sure enough, Garibaldi and Cialtini are two completely different intensities.

As soon as he took office, he reorganized the previously chaotic Italian army, drawing out the machine guns and artillery scattered in each company separately.

Then, according to the plan, the Roman walls were bombarded day and night.

It's okay to get to this point, the Italian army did the same before, the city wall becomes a ruin, it becomes a ruin, it's useless anyway.

But then he somehow got in touch with the officers of the Navy, and miraculously got the approval of the other party, and removed nearly 100 guns from a dozen old sail battleships.

When the guns opened fire on the Romans, Prim had no choice but to retreat the line slightly, and the Spanish casualties increased.

Just when everyone thought that Garibaldi was a believer in the theory of superior fire mechanics, and was ready to steadily penetrate Rome with artillery.

On the night of September 30, liberals in Rome raised a counter-flag, gathering more than 200 people to secretly lurk in eight residences close to the Vatican.

As soon as the time passed 12 o'clock, they armed with small arms and slaughtered all the way to the Vatican.

At the same time, the Italian troops outside the city also attacked.

It was a rather chaotic night, with Spain and the Papal States facing enemies on both inside and outside the city.

Moreover, this small rebel team was very stubborn, they encountered many counterattacks along the way, but as locals, it was at night, and they were quite agile.

The remaining troops were ordered not to fire at the Vatican, and could only fight them with small arms.

The rifles of this era were not flattering at night, and more than 10 people rushed into St. Peter's Basilica.

If it weren't for the Pope's desperate escape to Castel Sant'Angelo, maybe they would have been able to capture the Pope alive, and there would have been no need to fight this battle.

After daybreak, it was calculated that Spain lost 800 men in the first battle of the night, and Italy lost 1,400 men as the attacking side.

The vast majority of the city's 217 rebels were killed in gunfights or killed by angry Papal soldiers, and only 34 were captured alive.

There was a rebellion here, and Italy just launched the first night war over there, and no one would believe it if they were not related.

During the torture, the rebel soldiers, a small half of whom were veterans of the Roman Republic, were not tried after the destruction of Rome in 1848.

Others are either their descendants or their developed kindreds.

As for Garibaldi, Garibaldi was their commander in the first place.

Therefore, as soon as they got in touch this time, they brought their own dry food and weapons to start this rebellion.
