War is brutal, especially a tough battle, and no amount of preparation can make it safe for everyone.

In fact, there was originally a war overseer in the Austrian Imperial Army, but at this time it was a collective battle of the allied forces, which led to a series of very complex issues of power and responsibility.

Most of the officers of the Austrian Empire were of aristocratic origin, and were particularly sensitive to issues that could lead to political conflicts.

They subconsciously retreated and almost caused a big defeat, but in fact, the countries of the German Confederation also had similar warlords, and the vast majority of grassroots commanders had the responsibility of supervising wars.

However, at this time, it was a coalition army, and it was not so easy for officers to identify their country's soldiers among the vast number of coalition soldiers.

Moreover, the hereditary officers were not only a problem for Austria, but also for the German states, and their habit of looking ahead and looking backwards, coupled with the mentality of avoiding and avoiding, made the already lax law and order of the Allied Forces useless.

The reason why those deserters are so justified is also a part of the luck of not knowing each other, after all, how can the sword of another dynasty kill the officials of this dynasty?

Had Albrecht not happened to be at the front, the raid, which had been planned for several weeks, would most likely have been lost at the hands of a few deserters.

Albrecht's presence here was not a whim, because he knew very well that when the general offensive began, all calculations would not matter.

Instead of sitting in the headquarters and waiting for news, it is better to go to the front line in case something unexpected happens, after all, this is not the first time he has led a coalition army to fight.

Albrecht had encountered all kinds of strange things before, and he thought this time would be no exception. As for the solution, it is simple, as long as one party behaves strong enough, the others will choose to follow.

Or simply leave the other countries in the coalition and let the Austrians act alone.

Of course, Albrecht also tried to solve the problem at the root, but was quickly vetoed by Franz.

The army is the foundation of every state, and even those who are in dire straits will not give up this right.

Don't look at these kings who can't do anything with the nationalists of their own country, but they are good at joining forces to confront and balance Austria.

Rushing too much will not solve the problem, but will also cause these allies to be overly vigilant, and nothing will change except to cause more trouble for Austria.

Franz's approach was to change the force to robbery, and the impact of the difference on the psychology of each state was completely different. It is naturally not a problem for all parties to attack morale, and even if there is a problem, they will solve it themselves.

Franz, although under the banner of the German coalition, actually had very little interaction with the coalition forces.

The difference in this area may have been due to Franz's less influence from German nationalism.

However, Albrecht, as a first-hand witness of this era, coupled with some changes in the world line caused by the former after coming to this world, made it difficult for the latter not to have a special emotion.

Before the war began, Albrecht had asked Franz a few questions.

"Why don't you accept the title of German Emperor? Aren't you better than those wine bags and rice bags? Or do you really think we're going to be controlled by that bullshit council? ”

Franz knew what Albrecht meant, of course, but he wasn't an impulsive person, and his answer was still yes.

"The reunification of Germany is a historical trend, but it is not yet time."

On the battlefield of Saarburg, the artillery positions of the French front line were completely destroyed, and several bloody corpses hung on the broken gun carriages, overturned powder kegs, spherical shells tumbling around, weapons and severed arms scattered on the ground all tell of the tragic battles that took place here.

In the trenches on the positions and in the ruins behind the positions, the corpses of the German and French armies were stacked on top of each other, the fire caused by the incendiary bombs had not yet been extinguished, and the stench of charred corpses permeated the entire battlefield.

The gentle slope in front of the French position was already stained red with blood, and no one could stop the direct fire of the artillery, only the army that could withstand the terrible price.

Having captured only a small outlying position of the French army, the German coalition lost more than 5,000 men, not counting the wounded and deserters.

The losses of the French army were less than 3,000 men, but Ramosilier had to directly order the shooting of the retreating officers.

"Why! There are too many enemy troops! ”

The officer wanted to defend himself, but it was a fact that he had violated military orders, so he wanted to play the emotional card.

Ramosillier was so angry that he didn't even want to give the guy in front of him a chance to make meritorious contributions.

"I greet your whole family! Just because of you waste, it is possible that the German coalition will break through here, and then enter Lorraine, enter Metz, and then enslave and slaughter our compatriots! ”

Ramosirier pulled out his command knife and slashed at the sinner in front of him, not knowing whether it was because the decorative command knife was too brittle, or if the man's bones were too hard.

Ramocillier's command knife actually broke, but before the fleeing officer could rejoice, Ramosillier pulled out his single-shot musket and shot it at the officer's head.

Buckshot shattered the skull, and red and yellow liquid splashed all over the ground.

"Tell General Gaine to close the gap, no matter what the cost! If it's blocked, I promise that he will become a marshal in the future, and if he can't block it, he won't have to come back! ”

The French and German coalition forces have not stopped fighting for the outer positions. The artillery, rockets and other long-range weapons of both sides have not stopped, but in terms of firepower, it is clear that the coalition forces still have the advantage.

But as the so-called embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill, once a position is lost, the defense of the entire defense line begins to be greatly reduced. The coalition forces did not miss this opportunity, taking advantage of this gap to frantically encroach on the defenses of the French army's perimeter.

On the other hand, due to the advent of lever-operated rifles, the mode of skirmish combat was completely overturned. The skirmish between the two sides was a one-sided massacre by the Austrian army, and the French skirmishers had already been killed and wounded.

You must know that these stragglers were veterans drawn from various armies, and each of them was experienced in battle, but they were wiped out with little decent resistance.

General Gaine knew that this would never be possible, and he was convinced that the French army was the strongest army in the world, and that the French skirmishers were the best light infantry in the world, so he immediately reported the news to La Moxilier.

But at this time, with the successive loss of the outer positions and the completion of the calibration of the Austrian artillery, the whole of Saarburg was within the range of the Allied artillery.

From time to time on the hills on both sides, the Coalition skirmishers used portable rockets to harass them, and Ramosirier was really in no mood to care how strong the Austrian skirmishers were, he only wanted to take back the outlying positions now.

But as the explosion got closer and closer, Ramosirier knew very well that Salburg should not be able to hold on, and if he continued to fight without artillery superiority, he would only be consumed alive.
