While Polkha himself was leading the new Second Division of the Black Dragon Legion to beat up the Prussian army, the town behind the main force of Polkha was covering their backs, fierce battles broke out.

The Austrian double-headed eagle military flag with a black and yellow background is everywhere outside the town.

Austrian troops rushed into the town one after another, as if they wanted to use crowds to completely fill this small town with a population of just over one thousand in peacetime!

Just as the Austrian commander looked at the town that was about to be swallowed by the crowd, huge explosions suddenly sounded in the town!

"Long live Lord Li Wei!"

A guard infantryman threw away his musket and jumped toward the Austrian soldier who rushed towards him with a bayonet. The originally ferocious Austrian soldier saw the smoke rising from behind the other party, and listened to the hissing sound of the lead burning, and suddenly wanted to retreat in horror.

But the waves followed one after another, and they could not step back at all. Then there was a loud bang. The Austrian soldiers in the front were bombed without recognizing the explosion of time, and even the wailing sound did not come out...

"Long live Lord Li Wei!"

A guard infantry suddenly jumped down from the roof of a wooden house and jumped into the middle of the Austrian soldiers. Amid the screams of fear, a rumbling sound!

The explosion in the town lasted for more than ten minutes, and thousands of Austrian troops were driven out by the lifeless self-destruction tactics of the guard infantry of the Black Dragon Legion!

A colonel with a breath of gunpowder, even throwing his military cap, ran to the Austrian general who was in a mess in front of the commander-in-chief in the rear.

"General, the people of the Black Dragon Legion are crazy. Every soldier and even officer are carrying large amounts of explosive bags and charging into our crowd.

As long as our soldiers launch a bayonet charge, they will face groups of rushing towards the explosion of enemies.

I just went to the front line to supervise the battle myself, and I was almost blown to death by a madman…”

"waste!

Our troops are several times the enemy's strength, and the Prussian army ahead is fighting fiercely. Can the Austrian soldiers' sense of honor be even the Prussian country bumpkins?

All the reserve teams were sent to me, and the officers took the lead in charge and set up a supervision team. There was no order to retreat, and the battlefield fugitives were executed immediately!

Let me tell you that Paris is dozens of miles away. If we destroy this French army, we can enter Paris to have a carnival!"

Under the strict order of the Austrian commander-in-chief, tens of thousands of Austrian troops filled almost all the attackable directions of the town, and there were a large number of troops responsible for supervising the war, and they were also responsible for the second batch of attacks.

Under the leadership of the Austrian Double-Headed Eagle Army Flag, the Austrian soldiers did not shoot at all and directly launched a bayonet charge.

After two rounds of shooting of guard infantry soldiers, the Austrian soldiers successfully relied on the advantage of crowds to squeeze into the town, followed by explosions one after another...

There is no way, there are too many Austrian soldiers, and the guard infantry left behind do not have heavy weapons such as artillery. The bayonets of Austrian soldiers are rushing forward in rows. No matter how strong the bayonets of the guard infantry fight, they do not have three heads and six arms!

Even if you have three heads and six arms, you will be stabbed into a sieve when facing more than one plural bayonets...

Fighting with such a intensive enemy bayonet is tantamount to suicide. Since it is all suicide, the guard infantry naturally chooses a more efficient way of self-destruction.

The rumbling sound rang again. This time, due to the existence of the supervising team, the explosion continued to last longer. When a regiment's troops exploded, they had just defeated the Prussian army. Seeing that the Prussian army, which had self-destructed artillery, ran faster than the rabbit, returned with the main force of the new Second Division of the Black Dragon Legion.

Of course, not all the guards infantry returned, and a few remained on the battlefield to guard the prisoners and confiscate the spoils.

The main force of Polkha instantly defeated the Austrian troops who resisted them, and then broke into the town. The Austrian soldiers, who were already suffering from the self-destruction tactics of the guard infantry, could no longer resist, and even the supervisory team could not stop the large-scale defeat.

Boercha rescued the regiment-level troops who were beaten to the point where only one battalion of troops were left, and retreated all the soldiers out of the town, and began to distance themselves from the Austrian army.

Polkha needs to wait for the artillery behind to catch up with his main force.

After paying the price of thousands of people, he still did not achieve any results, but he waited for the main force of the enemy who should have fought against the Prussian army. The Austrian commander immediately realized that something was wrong.

Not long after, his scout and scout told him that the Prussian army had been completely defeated and suffered heavy losses. The cavalry team was disbanded and all the artillery was thrown away...

Such a crushing defeat is just a little better than being completely wiped out...

In the era of queuing and shooting, it is very difficult to wipe out the enemy completely without a large number of established cavalry units. It is only possible if the enemy takes the initiative to enter the encirclement.

After all, everyone is light infantry and runs quite fast, but the chasing troops cannot run wildly like the retreating troops. Otherwise, if there is no cover for teammates, even if they catch up, they will easily be beaten by the fleeing enemies...

Of course, if there were no Austrian troops with tens of thousands of people behind, Polcha would still be willing to chase after him. It would be impossible to rely on the physical advantages of the guard infantry to make a marathon pursuit and finally wipe out the Prussian army.

But now he can only bring back the main force and confront the Austrian army.

Yes, the two sides are in a confrontation now.

Although the Austrian army still has a huge advantage in military strength, the casualties during the attack on the town have exceeded 10%, and many wounded people have lost their combat effectiveness. The morale of the army is in a sluggish state. The attack seems to be strong and the Black Dragon Legion, which plans to use self-destruction tactics, does not have much chance of winning anyway...

Now, the Austrian army has truly understood the terror of the Black Dragon Legion. It no longer believes that the previous Black Dragon Legion's achievements were all expressed by the French.

Since you cannot attack, you can't expect an enemy with a smaller number to take the initiative to attack. After all, the opponent only needs to hold on to himself. Paris will not take long to have a steady stream of reinforcements. By then, the advantage of the Austrian army's military strength will no longer exist.

Without the advantage of military strength, facing the madman attack of the Black Dragon Legion who exploded at any time, the Austrian generals felt that their defeat was inevitable...

So, the Austrian generals made a very wise choice - to withdraw all troops.

As soon as Polkha had transferred the artillery, he found that the Austrian army on the opposite side had begun to retreat as a whole.

The retreat of the Austrian army was not a defeated retreat of the Prussian army that had been defeated before, but an orderly withdrawal, leaving behind a unit behind the temple staring at Polcha's troops.

Austrian cavalry even frequently cruising on the periphery. If Bolkha tries to charge with all his might, these Austrian cavalry will gather quickly and insert the weak parts exposed when Bolkha's troops charge, thereby achieving tactical cutting.

Once the Austrian cavalry successfully implements tactical cutting, the Austrian army will not need to retreat...

Of course, Polkha could allow his guard infantry to use self-destruction tactics to resist Austrian cavalry, but in the previous battles, Bolk saw that the self-destruction tactics of guard infantry had obviously not as good as those of infantry.

Because the self-destructing guard infantry is difficult to pounce on the high-speed moving cavalry, even if it pounces on it, it can only kill one cavalry, and only two cavalry are lucky.

This cost-effectiveness is naturally not cost-effective for Boercha!

This is different from the previous Prussian charge cavalry attacking their own artillery positions. When enemy cavalry attacked artillery positions, the self-destructing guard infantry was not lethal, but it could greatly shock the enemy and gain more time, and then use close-range shotguns to kill and kill the enemy cavalry on a large scale.

If the enemy cavalry attacks our own infantry, then using self-destruction tactics will be completely different...

If a hollow square formation is used to resist Austrian cavalry, it will limit the offensive ability of the guard infantry. As we all know, the hollow square formation is a defensive formation rather than an offensive formation!

In the end, Polkha had no choice but to give up the attack on the retreating Austrian army...

At this moment, Bolkha was deeply eager for a built-up cavalry of his own army. If there were enough cavalry to resist the covetousness of the Austrian cavalry, even if the Austrian army left enough troops behind the temple, Bolkha would dare to bite a piece of flesh and blood on the retreating Austrian army.

The cavalry in line to shoot the times is of great use.

Even if he is no longer the king of war, he is a military force that acts no less than artillery and infantry on the battlefield.

Mobility is too important for battlefield situations. Soldiers in the era of queuing and shooting generally do not wear armor. To put it bluntly, it is to pursue mobility.

By the same token, line infantry does not hold a heavy bulletproof shield, which is also due to mobility.

After all, the bulletproof shield is too burdened by infantry. After holding the shield, it is easy to be chased by the enemy's small cannons. The bulletproof shield cannot resist shells, even if it is just a small field cannon!

Of course, there are more than this defects in losing mobility.

It is inevitable that the queuing and shooting tactics can fight the world invincible.

After all, this set of tactics was not thought out by military strategists from all over the world, but was gradually improved by countless wars.

It was this set of queuing and shooting tactics that turned the most powerful Qing Empire in the Eastern world into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country.

The Qing Empire's proud riding and shooting was a joke in the face of the tactic of queuing up and shooting.

Every time the two sides fought, the gap in casualties was shockingly high.

The British even relied on the queuing and shooting tactics, and only needed one or two artillery and a company of soldiers to conquer an indigenous kingdom...

It is not difficult to understand why Europeans of the same era would proudly recognize that whoever can conquer Europe can conquer the world!

The British Empire won more than defeats in the global colonial war, but on the European continent, it rarely dared to send troops to directly participate in the war. This is the gap!

In this battle against Levi by the anti-French alliance, the London government did not intend to send an army to land in France from beginning to end.

Even if all of the "pocket" army in the UK were sent to France, it might not be enough for Li Wei to eat in one bite...

The London government is still self-aware in this regard.

The British were very confident in the land war with hundreds or thousands of people, but once the scale was tens of thousands, the British became cautious. If the scale exceeded 100,000, the British could only give up.

It’s not that the London government cannot expand its troops by more than 100,000, but it’s not worth doing that. If there are 100,000 local troops, how many indigenous kingdoms can the London government destroy?

Even the great powers in the East cannot withstand the rampage of 100,000 British troops!

The premise is that the London government can maintain the logistics line of a hundred thousand troops thousands of miles away...

However, when a hundred thousand troops were thrown on European land, it was a decisive battle between great powers.

The total strength of the Pu'Austrian coalition forces this time was added to nearly 100,000, but now they were forced to retreat by the Black Dragon Legion, which was less than 10,000.

The Prussian army was defeated, but the Austrian army still had strong combat power. For European powers of this era, 10% of casualties were nothing, and it was not a problem for many elite soldiers to bear 50% of casualties.

If there is support for the belief in defending the country and other beliefs, 80% of casualties will not be impossible.

Of course, here we refer to a few elite regular troops.

The Prussian army was defeated, the Austrian army retreated, and on the headlines of newspapers in Paris, of course, it was also claimed that the Austrians were defeated!

The Prussian army quickly joined the Austrian army, and the Prussian army took the initiative to seek the "protection" of the Austrian army.

There is no way, who told the French in this land that they have awakened their national consciousness?

The guerrillas like to fight the most is the regular army defeated that just retreated?

Such regular army defeated soldiers did not have much courage to fight, and their equipment was pretty good. That military uniform was valuable to the poor guerrillas.

However, with the complete Austrian army, the Prussian army was not attacked much, and tens of thousands of Pu'Austrian coalition forces retreated, and the French guerrillas naturally did not dare to get angry...

However, Li Wei won a huge victory in strategy, and the upgraded comprehensive war system also gave timely rewards.

Levi received 10 glory points at one time!

The newly formed second division of the Black Dragon Legion led by Polkha killed more than 3,200 people in this battle.

The 10-point glory value can train 10,000 guard infantry soldiers, and Li Wei made another big profit!

The fallen officers and soldiers of the newly formed Second Division of the Black Dragon Legion were mainly shot dead when self-destruction and fighting against Prussia.

In this backward era, the lethality of lead bombs is amazing. Even if they are not shot on the spot, the person who is shot will soon die from the lead poisoning behind them.
