The walls that had once been used for defense were now in ruins, and the tents that provided the Prussian soldiers with a resting tent were also indiscriminately fired by a round of artillery fire, one of the shells accidentally smashed into the wooden room stacked with shells, and the explosion of the shells ignited the whole room, and Ron only heard a deafening sound behind him, and the four Prussian soldiers and a warrant officer who were responsible for carrying the shells were killed on the spot, and the wood after the explosion turned into high-speed shrapnel, Ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the surrounding Prussian soldiers.

"Help me...... My God! Please......"

Many of the Prussian soldiers affected by the explosion lay on the ground and let out a painful wail, and the wail instantly infected the surrounding Prussian soldiers like a plague.

Due to the universal military service and the three-tier reserve system adopted by Prussia, many Prussian soldiers were transferred to the second-class reserve when they were just veterans, and most of the recruits were also young bourgeois and peasants who had fled privately from the landlord's East Prussian landlord's estate, and the scene in front of them was a hell on earth for Prussian soldiers who had served for less than three years in peacetime.

One second you are a fellow trencher, and the next you may be covered in blood and intestines and lie on the ground with hands stained with blood and mud to call for help.

What recruit can suffer such torture!

Some Prussian soldiers were so frightened by the tragic situation in front of them that they couldn't even hold their guns steadily, and a small number of well-pampered Prussian soldiers were so frightened that they peed their pants directly.

These phenomena were very normal behavior in the barracks, especially in the Prussian army, which participated in the war for the first time.

However, not a single Prussian soldier dared to escape, and the strict military discipline was almost perverted, so that the Prussian soldiers no longer dared to make any unnecessary moves as a last resort.

Here I have to mention the first three of the Prussian military training dogma, the first is "soldiers are dregs", the second is "to fight the scum", and the third is "to make soldiers afraid of rattan whips more than bullets".

King Frederick, who founded this army, once physically punished his soldiers with his own hands, and was then called "Soldier King" by the "affectionate" honorific name of the soldiers.

Although Prussia had somewhat curtailed the habit of whipping soldiers after the Napoleonic Wars, the rank and file officers still carried out harsh corporal punishment on their soldiers, and every year in the Prussian army there were some Prussian soldiers who were "accidentally" disabled.

August. Bebel's father was crippled in the Prussian army, and when he was dying, Bebel's father angrily said: "I would rather let him starve to death than join the army." ”

Some soldiers closed their eyes and prayed for God's blessing, and the officers did not hesitate to draw their swords to seek relief for the seriously wounded soldiers.

As the supreme commander of this army, there was no trace of pity in Ron's eyes, and he immediately gave the order to the commanders of the first and second regiments beside him to meet the incoming Austrian army.

Frightened, the two regimental commanders quickly followed Ron's orders and began to act, and they gave orders to the battalion commanders in their respective camps, who in turn gave the orders to their respective regimental commanders, and the Prussian company commanders, forged by strict discipline, ordered the warrant officers and sergeants to reorganize their ranks.

Thanks to the fact that the vast majority of the soldiers in the Prussian army were soldiers who had completed their primary education, they were able to quickly assemble and reorganize their troops after Ron's directive.

If it was a group of serfs like Tsarist Russia, Prussia would have collapsed in the moment of concentration of Austrian artillery, because the army could not be assembled.

Of course, in the face of this situation, Tsarist Russia also has a solution, the famous Russian general Suvorov once said that "the bullet is a soft egg, the bayonet is a good man", as long as the Russian army charges the enemy before the rout, everything will be fine.

The battalion-based hollow phalanx took less than 10 minutes to set up, and the regimental staff immediately reported to Ron the casualties of the troops.

"Major General, the 1st and 2nd Regiments lost a total of 340 men in this round of shelling, including 3 ensigns and a captain!"

The regimental staff officer's report made Ron's heart ache, as the war had lost almost two companies of troops at the beginning of the war, and the Prussian army's ability to respond to unexpected situations was a little anxious.

However, now is not the time for Ron to put his military discipline in order.

"The first regiment advanced in battalion units, and the second regiment followed!" Ron again gave orders to the regimental staff.

In the era when communication relied on roaring and communication relied on running, horseback riding was undoubtedly the fastest choice.

The regimental staff officer hurriedly gave Ron's order.

After the regimental staff officer left, the commander of the Prussian reconnaissance cavalry company drove to Ron's side and reported to Ron the general location of the enemy.

Ron hurriedly spread out the map, and the guards on the side hurriedly brought over the kerosene lamps in the camp tent that had not yet been damaged, and under the effect of the kerosene lights, Ron marked them one by one according to the locations provided by the cavalry company commander.

"Shh Looking at the suspected location of the Austrian army on the map, Ron couldn't help but sigh: "The other party's appetite seems to be not small!" ”

Then, he asked the guards on the side: "Do you know who the commander on the other side is?" ”

The guard thought for a moment, then responded, "I remember it was called Albrecht. Friedrich. Rudolph ......"

Ron also remembered what Prince William had said about Albrecht, and he couldn't help but say again: "Worthy of being the son of Archduke Karl!" ”

"General, what's wrong?" The guard asked Ron suspiciously.

"Look here!" Ron pointed to the place he had marked, "There are forests on the left and right sides of the Fulda area, and there is only one day of the same Kassel passage, theoretically as long as this passage is stuck, our army will not be able to move on a large scale, and at that time, we will probably have to pass through here!" ”

Ron pointed to the forest on the left side of the map, it is undoubtedly taboo to travel through the forest in large groups, especially when marching in the dark, if you are not careful, your own army may be directly beaten into a pot of porridge, not to mention that it is also a big problem for supplies and ammunition.

The reason why Suvorov's original detour in the Alps can be called a great achievement in the history of military scholarship is also due to the fact that he was able to decisively abandon the risk of being cut off from logistics to carry out roundabout tactics, and then defeated the three armies of Morrow, MacDonald, and Jurdan in one fell swoop.

In 1940, Ganmalin pledged that the German army would not choose to take the Ardennes Forest was also based on this factor.

Ron continued, "However, the commander on the other side not only wants to block our back, they also want to prevent us from breaking out of the forest. If I'm not mistaken, we are flanked by Austrian troops, and the Austrian troops stationed in the Fulda area are probably more numerous than we thought! ”

"What should we do?" The guard questioned Ron again.

"Rush!" Ron responded, "We must fully attract their forces so that His Royal Highness has enough time to withdraw." ”

On Ron's orders, the battalion-based hollow phalanx continued to advance, and behind them were the only more than 20 bronze smoothbore guns of the Prussian army.

[The Prussian army in 1850 was still using bronze smoothbore guns, and their army is still the same after more than forty years as it was at the Battle of Jena...... No, it should be said that it was worse than the Prussian army at the time of the Battle of Jena. 】

The Prussian army met with the Austrian army in the south of Fulda.

Albrecht, the commander of the Austrian Imperial Army, rode his horse and looked at the Prussian army in front of him with a telescope, he had obviously given the opposite Prussian army enough time to escape, why did the Prussian army rush to death.

"Who's the commander on the other side?" Albrecht asked the lieutenant general of the same rank beside him.

The lieutenant general shook his head and responded: "I don't know, it's probably some unknown little person!" ”

"If every little person in the Kingdom of Prussia were like this, it would be very difficult for us to win!" Albrecht couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the phalanx on the other side.

"Huh?" The lieutenant general couldn't help but want to rebuke Albrecht for his exaggerated praise of others, but when he thought of Felix. Schwarzenberg's orders, he had to keep silent.

After the Prussian army had completely entered the effective firing range of Austria, Albrecht quickly gave the order.

"Let's shoot!"

The 75 guns of the whole army were concentrated by Albrecht, and the sound of artillery firing sounded.

Under the suppression of the powerful artillery of the Austrian Empire, the tight Prussian army unexpectedly showed a tendency to briefly rout.

Had it not been for the prestige of Prussian officers at all levels in the Prussian army, I am afraid that the Prussian solid phalanx would have been at risk of rout.

It was only now that Ron discovered that the first round of shelling was most likely the opposite side of the deliberate release of water.

For now, I can only delay for a while, hoping that Prince William can rush out smoothly.

"Fire!" Ron also gave the order to open fire.

Compared to the Austrian 75 guns, Prussia, which had only 20 guns, struggled a little.

At the same time, the hollow phalanx was also lined up in three columns under Ron's orders, and attacked the Austrian army with the artillery of the Austrian Empire.

Not to be outdone, Austria fought back, firing from less than 400 yards apart.

Under the short and medium range fire, the Dreiser firing guns of the Kingdom of Prussia finally recovered some platoons, and the phalanx of the Austrian Imperial column continued to suffer casualties.

However, these casualties were nothing to the veterans of the "bloody battle between Hungary and Italy", who fell and the next made up.

The Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia were killed by Fulda in the night.
