"Maybe we should consider surrendering."

Dunbowsky, who had previously advocated the death of the fish, said weakly, and soon Tisowski answered him in an even more feeble tone.

"No, that henau is a madman."

"What did he say?"

"He said we can eat guns if we surrender."

Hearing this, Dumbowsky asked with some confusion: "Then what if we don't surrender?" ”

"He'll hang us."

"Does it make a difference?"

"Yes, he said that eating a gun is a glorious death, and being hanged is a thief and a hooligan."

"He's pretty thoughtful."

The two men were relatively silent, the ambition to revive Poland was gone, and all that remained was exhaustion and resentment.

When did it start to go downhill? Perhaps from the very beginning this uprising was doomed

At this time, a cavalry rushed back and shouted excitedly.

"It's here! It's here! Our destination has arrived! ”

"Great!"

"Hooray!"

"Victory!"

"Haha! When I get to Dorobi, I'm going to drink them all!" ”

"I'm going to hit ten at night!"

"Haha!"

The big-headed soldiers shouted excitedly, imagining what to do after the victory. The officers were not happy, because it was not easy to fight a tough battle, especially if there were no heavy weapons, and it would be filled with human lives.

I was going to requisition some people from the villages and towns along the way, but those damn guys are ghostly and ghostly, and they have long since run away without a trace.

In fact, even with heavy weapons, it is very common for dozens of days or even months to attack the fortifications.

At this point, the only thing left after the blood on their heads dissipated was anxiety, but the officers did not dare to show it, because the slightest emotion of their emotions would be infinitely magnified among the soldiers.

And once these militias start to flee, they will be as unstoppable as a flood, and of course they may be immobilized like frightened sheep.

Either scenario would declare the end of the war once and for all

The expected destruction and rebellion did not take place, much to Colonel Monta's boredom. Although he is only a regiment commander, the number of troops under his command is not less than that of a brigade commander, and he does not care about ordinary generals in status.

However, Colonel Monta's goal was not to be a small general, he wanted to be the Marshal of the Empire. Although I have participated in some battles before, it was just a small fight and there was no audience.

This time was different, Archduke Franz was in this manor, and although he didn't know why the Grand Duke was personally in danger, it was a good opportunity for him and the entire Royal Dragoon Regiment.

So the more enemies in this battle, the better, the more fierce the better, as long as the "audience" is satisfied, their future is guaranteed.

Colonel Monta looked at the non-combatants with great regret, while the "servants" who were usually flying and domineering felt a chill down their spine.

In fact, as soon as he found out about the enemy, Vikhliu Yasudski's butler, he offered to help, but Colonel Monta did not trust these guys, and even without Franz's warning, he hated the group of thieves in front of him.

Vikhliu Yałudski was a little depressed, why didn't Celestina come back, are the two still together? It's nasty!

Franz erected two modified telescopes in the attic on the top floor, which, although they look exaggerated, are actually only eight times magnified.

However, this is also the most advanced military telescope at this time, and it is expensive. Therefore, Franz's sniper program was very difficult to implement, and it is still dominated by double and triple lenses.

In fact, in addition to the double and triple mirrors, the Austrian military also has a bunch of 1.5x and 2.5x mirrors that cut corners.

At first, Franz gave Doppler and his team the freedom to conduct research, and as a result, they came up with the kind of ultra-long sights that appeared during the American Civil War.

This kind of ultra-long sight is not only expensive, but also has worrying accuracy, and is terrible because it is inconvenient to carry and difficult to maintain.

In the early days, the lens material was very fragile, and the slightest carelessness could damage the lens, or the lens could be scratched.

(I'll have a picture here in a moment.) ）

Fortunately, Franz brought in Carl Zeiss, which greatly accelerated the development process, and since Carl Zeiss had been in Austria since he was a university student, the level of knowledge at this time was much higher than at the same time in history.

At the same time, Franz also made a contribution, he directly drew a schematic diagram of a modern sniper scope to the development department.

This led to a leap forward in the progress of the whole research, and soon the first sniper scopes with practical significance were developed under the auspices of the young expert, who was only thirty years old.

The only thing left is to reduce the cost and start to promote, but large-scale promotion is not very realistic, because at this time the mirror technology is not mature enough, at least before World War II, it is impossible to achieve large-scale equipment of sniper scopes in the army.

In the attic, Colonel Bordeaux, Miss Mia, Lakshmi Bae, and of course Miss Celestina, who was tied up.

"That's a lot of people, Grand Duke Franz, why don't you run?"

Lakshmi Bayi asked inappropriately.

Franz did not answer directly, but asked with some confusion.

"Why are you so?"

Bordeaux replied happily.

"Those Poles are nothing more than a rabble, and being able to come here proves that there are still some officers inside. However, with this scattered formation, I am afraid that before the fight starts for a while, they will scatter themselves. ”

Mia Artières was a little nervous, it was fine not to look at the telescope, but she was a little scared when she looked at the telescope.

"Grand Duke Franz, you don't need to be here to supervise the battle yourself, do you?"

She sorted out the wording, after all, the word "to die" was a bit irreverent, but she really couldn't understand the meaning of it.

The word "war" was also a little awkward, but Franz didn't go out of his way to correct it, just said.

"I just want to get myself used to this image in advance, after all, there will be many more scenes like this in the future."

On the battlefield, Polish officers wielded command knives to drive the big soldiers into a queue. This is not because line tactics can increase firepower, or because they are suitable for sieges.

There is only one reason, which is to find out the supervision and management. The platoon commander of each platoon only needs to turn his head to see who is not following and how many troops he still has.

If you don't march in a queue, it won't take long for the whole team to disperse. Moreover, the morale of the militia is too low, and it is difficult for officers to carry out offensive operations without supervising the battle from behind.

The best thing about line tactics for the enemy is that it is easy to see the opponent's strength.

"Just more than 2,000 people?" Colonel Monta was so enraged that he cut down a small tree with a single sword.

The adjutant asked, "Commander, do we still have to carry out the order to stick to it?" ”

"Fart! Of course, stick to it, and you don't look at who gives the order. ”

So a defensive battle of 3,000 men against 2,000 men began, and Albrecht was actually even angrier in the distance, because he still had more than 10,000 elite troops under his command ready to respond.
