Chapter 183: The Collision of Old and New (Part II)

It's better to fight than to be named by the other party one by one.

Above the attic, Lakshmi Bayi saw that something was wrong.

"Why did you charge so far? By the time you meet face to face, you don't have the strength anymore, right? ”

She received an orthodox Austrian military education in the palace, so she could tell at a glance that the other party had committed a taboo.

Because the Austrian army code of conduct stipulated that even cavalry could not charge until a distance of 150 meters.

Infantry should generally not charge at a distance of more than 60 meters, only in this way can the impact and combat effectiveness of the soldiers after hand-to-hand combat can be guaranteed.

Franz, however, felt that the other commander's commander was very smart.

"Indeed, it is a bit contrary to common sense to charge from such a distance. But the opponent they are facing at this time cannot be judged by the common sense of the past, and I think that the opponent's commander is worthy of praise for his ability to adapt to emergencies. ”

"What's this? If you don't have the strength to run after a while, won't you still be chased and beaten? ”

"That's right, but if you don't charge, they'll soon collapse. The desperate fight at least retains hope. ”

Franz said this, but he was well aware of what was coming.

On the other side of the hill, Count Stein chose to open the champagne directly.

"Your Excellency, there's nothing to see about, it's over, the Poles are stupid! We were picked up by a few skirmishers, and they were not worthy of being our opponents at all. ”

"No, I think these people are a bit interesting, although they can't change anything." Albrecht, on the contrary, was in a mood and called the cavalry officer.

"Remember to bring back their commanders when you take the captives later."

"Yes! Your Excellency. ”

The Polish Restoration Army was in disarray, as the charge was not part of their plan.

Tisowski and Dumbovsky left Behm in Krakow, so now it was up to the two of them, who were clearly not military geniuses.

Fortunately, Poland had a tradition of military democracy, so at the suggestion of a group of Prussian Polish officers, they adopted the tactics of horizontal formation.

According to the plan, the horizontal team needs to attract firepower in the front, and then use the killer weapon to take the opponent by surprise in one fell swoop.

However, at this time, this wave of charges was something they did not expect

"Get them back!"

The herald replied, "Yes." ”

At this time, Tisowski and Dumbowsky did not know what a stupid order they had given.

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Polish Restoration Army were rushing in the direction of the dock fort, while the Austrian soldiers behind the battlements were sneering.

They don't know where the other party's courage comes from, but there is no sympathy on the battlefield, either you die or I die.

The killing of the Polish Restoration Army soldiers was so loud that it even drowned out the gunfire coming from the direction of the dock fort. However, Burns Polk found a problem, that is, more and more officers were killed in battle, and the ranks were becoming more and more chaotic.

But fortunately, it is only a little more than 100 meters away, and it is not a problem to break through this old-fashioned wall, which is only 1.5 meters high.

And once you get caught in a white-knuckle battle, then it's all about courage and endurance. According to the information given by the Poles, the other side only has 400 militia plus 300 cavalry, and their advantage is still very large.

Although victory was in sight, he was a little worried for no reason, because although the gunfire of the opponent was sparse but not scattered, and the hit rate was frighteningly high.

"Is it the elite?"

Burns Pock thought this, and suddenly a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and the soldiers in the front row fell in unison, and immediately the soldiers of the Polish Restoration Army fell to the ground in fright.

"Get up! Rush over while they get on the bullet! ”

Burns Polk had already noticed that something was wrong, because there were so many more guns all of a sudden, but it was still within acceptable limits.

If the defenders don't set up some ambushes, then it is better to surrender as soon as possible, because the commander is not qualified at all.

But as soon as the soldiers of the Polish Restoration Army got up, the second barrage came. These bullets are not only dense, but also accurate.

"Damn! It's a rifled gun! A Polish officer with a wounded arm fell to the ground and cursed.

"Get up! Keep rushing! ”

Just a few seconds later, another round of bullets rained down, and the soldiers of the Polish Restoration Army fell in pieces.

"Damn! It's a three-stage strike! ”

Burns Pock crouched behind a corpse, but the bullet passed through the corpse unhindered and pierced his shoulder.

This is the power of the Minne bullet, which theoretically can also penetrate two people.

But the reality is that war is affected by various conditions, and usually after the first person is penetrated, the spherical buckshot will be seriously deformed and even shattered.

However, this mainly depends on the caliber, with a large-caliber musket that specializes in hitting plate armor knights, not to mention penetrating two people, it is not a problem to penetrate three, but only in terms of penetrating spherical lead bullets are still far inferior to Minne bullets.

"Stand up! The three-stage strike is over! Take advantage of the present."

Before Burns Polk could finish his sentence, a dense burst of gunfire rang out again from the dock fort.

Watching the one-sided slaughter, Lakshmi Bayi and Mia Artiace were a little unbearable.

"This is war, blood and cruelty are the norm, flowers, honor, applause is more of a romantic beautification."

"I beg your pardon," Mia Artiaces hurriedly left her seat and hid in the bathroom, vomiting.

"How can they win?" Lakshmi Bayi seemed to see what was happening on the Indian subcontinent at this time.

However, she obviously thought too much, and the British army in India obviously did not reach that level. In fact, at this time, large-scale units armed with breech-loading guns existed only in Austria and Prussia.

"Make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, at least we can't choose to take the initiative to fight in the front. The guerrilla warfare you mentioned earlier is a very good strategy, and if you make one wrong move, you will repeat the picture of today. ”

Lakshmi Baeyi was a little confused by Franz's words, but the former knew that at least he should not choose to attack head-on against the Austrian army, otherwise he would be killing himself.

On the other side of the hill, Count Stein, who was already a little drunk, sneered when he saw that the Poles were directly suppressed at a distance of about a hundred meters and could not move.

"What a bunch of cowards, since they don't dare to rush, why don't they run?"

The surrounding cadets also laughed, they just thought it was great to be born on the winner's side.

Albrecht, on the other hand, was worried about the future of the Imperial Army, and there was no one in such a group who could see the slightest clue.

"It's already the nineteenth century, and there are still a bunch of morale guys. Is war child's play in your eyes? Can't you see changes in weapons and tactics of war? ”

No one answered Albrecht, because the group did not understand at all. Instead of having any sense of shame, they slapped the Grand Duke's ass.

"If it's you, we really can't compare."

"With you, our Austrian Empire will win every battle!"

"Yes! Oh, yes! Long live Your Excellency the Commander! Long live Austria! Long live the Habsburgs! ”

"It's like playing the piano to a cow!"

Albrecht left the table in anger.
