When the two sides collided again, the rebel soldiers noticed that something was wrong, and the Austrian soldiers at the front were all very burly and carrying guns without bayonets, and they carried a large jar behind them.

This made the rebel soldiers feel a little confused.

"Do they have water guns? Want to spray us in the face? ”

However, when the two sides approached a distance of 20-30 meters, the Austrian soldiers opened fire first, knocking out the front row of the rebels in an instant.

However, this was already expected by Giovanni, and he immediately shouted: "Don't be stunned! Rush! Their bullets are gone! ”

At this time, Giovanni's student soldiers decided to take the lead, and General Fabio ordered his reserves to rush forward, knowing that if they could bring morale, the outcome of the battle could be reversed.

But they were wrong, the Austrian soldiers in front of them still had bullets in their guns, and they were not carrying buckets, but air bags.

This is the Austrian Empire's characteristic class of troops - air pistols, but since the beginning of the war against France, due to the high cost and the lack of satisfactory results, it gradually withdrew from the army and became the private arm of some princes and nobles.

Therefore, even the rebels, who also served in Austria, did not see this branch of the army.

However, thanks to Franz's efforts, the airsoft was "resurrected" again.

I can only hear "click! Click! Click! The sound of those weird guns firing bullets continuously.

More than a dozen soldiers armed with high-pressure air guns fired together, and the rebels could not even get close. Coupled with the Austrian soldiers in the back, it took less than a minute for the rebels who rushed to the front to collapse, die and flee.

This time, neither Giovanni nor Fabio could stop the decline. Danielle Manin roared as he looked at the crowd that had fled again.

"For God's sake! Hurry up and do something! ”

"What can I do TMD?! Damn it! If it weren't for you, bastard, to bewitch me, I'm a hero of Austria now! ”

Fabio roared back and pushed Danielle Manin, the new honorary mayor, to the ground.

"Damned traitor! Catch this traitor! He is a lackey of the Austrians! ”

Danielle Manin used this trick to judge an unknown number of people, but it failed at this time, because people were thinking about how to escape for their lives.

Fabio spat at Danielle Manin in the face, and just as the former was about to shoot the latter, a group of cavalry rushed behind them with a large group of misfitted infantry.

The two sides intensified the rebels' collapse, but the difference was that this time someone finally shouted, "Surrender or die." ”

In fact, the force that had come to outflank was the reconnaissance force that Franz had previously sent, and they had contacted the loyalists in Venice after breaking through the siege.

In addition, Franz had previously contacted the remnants of the navy in the harbor area, so that a combined naval and land force was created.

The rebels, caught between two sides, were defeated almost immediately, and then it was time to watch how they died.

There was no suspense about the outcome of the battle, most of the rebels chose to surrender, and all those who did not surrender or did not have time to surrender were killed on the spot.

General Fabio and Giovanni appeared at the front of the line with Danielle Manin at the top of the line, announcing the end of the battle.

Franz accepted the surrender, but the trouble was that Fabio and Giovanni insisted that they had captured Danielle Manin as a hero of Austria.

"Grand Duke Franz! We have been waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Soldiers of the Austrian Empire for a long time! They are a group of goddamn gods who control our family and tempt us with high-ranking officials, we are forced!

But now it's good! You're here! The sun of empire has risen again! ”

Franz looked at the sky, it was already dark, and the whole city was unusually dark due to the damage caused by the damage to the lighting system in many parts of the city.

"Invite them to the square of the town hall and starve them for a few days."

"Grand Duke Franz"

The soldiers of the Royal Dragoon Regiment had seen a lot of this kind of thing in Galicia, so they were not surprised and directly dragged several masterminds for interrogation.

According to past experience, these masterminds will have a list in their hands. They don't know why, why do these people have to have rosters and ledgers if they don't run a company?

The first thing Franz did when he occupied Venice was to restore communication with the outside world, one was to report the good news, Austria had been on the defensive since the beginning of the war, and it was too much needed a victory to boost morale, but also to deter the small night, and the internal threat was the most troublesome.

Another reason was that Venice was so important at this time, being both the core of northern Italy and the most critical node on the sea of the Austrian Empire.

Although Franz has been developing Trieste, there is an inertia in people's thinking and government policies, and everyone will always unconsciously lean towards Venice, and people in their own country are like this, let alone other countries.

Venice's glorious history gave it another chance to be reborn, but the war destroyed half of its life.

But Venice was still one of the most important ports in the Austrian Empire and even on the Mediterranean coast.

At this time, the external passage was too important for the Austrian Empire, and the reason why the Austrians were able to live a life of almost food and clothing in the disaster year was due to the blood sucking from the colonies.

Once the supply of the colonies was cut off, the situation in the country would deteriorate rapidly, but it would not collapse, after all, Franz had accumulated a lot of inventory over the years.

However, this will seriously slow down the economic development of the Austrian Empire in the future, and at the same time leave some hidden dangers.

The original purpose of this war was to solve the hidden dangers accumulated in the country for hundreds of years, and Franz would never tolerate the traitors in order to end the war.

In fact, in addition to this, Franz also left a hand, specially prepared for the British.

The third point was to relieve Albrecht's worries, since the main supporters of the rebels who supported the Papal States and Italy were in the cities, while the vast rural areas were more inclined towards royalty.

It was easy for people in this era to look down on the peasants, especially the city lords who were high up in the sky, and it was impossible for them to join forces with the peasants, and Poland was the best example of this.

At the same time, Marshal Radetzky led his main forces out of the Milanese battlefield, which gave the rebels in Milan a sigh of relief, and they felt that their sacrifice was finally worthwhile.

Carlo Alberto promised to arrive in Milan within seven days, and to give the rebels 5,000 rifles to survive the worst of the day.

What they didn't know, however, was that the veteran of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Usebio, was just about to cross the river, and what they didn't know was that Marshal Radetzky himself had arrived at the river with the vanguard and was quietly watching all this.
