The sound of explosions and gunfire sounds covered up the sound of the revenge bullet well. Arikaya only felt a heavy blow coming from behind. She rushed to the ground under the influence of huge force. Arikaya knew that he was shot!

Blood began to gush out of Arikaya's mouth, and he turned his head back unwillingly.

When I saw that the chest barrier defense line did not enter the French army, my eyes couldn't help but become confused.

How could he be shot before the enemy has arrived?

You should know that the chest barrier defense line is built on the slope. They face the situation where the French army is condescending, and the French army is attacking from the back!

Without crossing the chest barrier defense line, the French army could not defeat these defenders.

But soon, Aricaya saw those familiar eyes, the rural man whom he mocked as a country bumpkin, was grinning at him happily.

"It's time to die... country man..."

Aricaya spewed out a mouthful of blood again, and her head was pulled to the ground with weak strength. Her whole body was losing its strength quickly, and her heart was filled with resentment.

While Aricaya was dying, a guard infantryman jumped off the chest block that Aricaya had squatted before. The country private who had just shot Aricaya immediately threw away his weapon, raised his hands and knelt on the ground, shouting surrender in words that the French army could not understand.

Instead of paying attention to the surrendered country bumpkin soldiers, the guard infantry pointed his gun at other enemies who were still resisting.

One after another guard infantry jumped into the chest defense line, prompting more and more Sardinian soldiers and even officers to surrender.

However, the army resistance of the Kingdom of Sardinia did not end. Complete battalion-level phalanxes stepped from behind, aiming at the guard infantry that was occupying the chest barrier defense line in a round of volleys.

The guard infantry fell down suddenly. The next moment, the surviving guard infantry rushed up quickly, picked up the ignited grenade and threw it at the dense volleyball queue of the Sardinian Army.

Boom, boom, boom!

The smoke and dust of the grenade explosion immediately covered the battlefield again. After the guard infantry threw the grenade, they skillfully picked up the flintlock rifle with a bayonet and rushed into the air waves of the explosion. Soon, screams burst into tears in the smoke and dust.

One guard infantry after another jumped into the chest defense line, and knelt on both sides and the Sardinian kingdom soldiers and officers who raised their hands to surrender but no one paid attention to it.

The Guards infantry just confiscated their weapons and had no time to gather and guard them.

However, these surrendered Sardinian officials and soldiers gathered together to make way for the guards infantry to attack.

With the attack of the guard infantry, the first chest barrier defense line was declared to be lost. A hundred meters behind this chest barrier defense line, the second chest barrier defense line was built on the slope, and was constantly firing shells and bullets, killing the attacking guard infantry.

The layers of chest defense lines are the confidence of the Sardinian Army.

However, the guard infantrymen did not know how to be afraid at all. Except for the guard infantry that consumed too much physically, they did not continue to attack, all guard infantrymen were charging forward without any formation, just rushing!

If you encounter a complete enemy queue, throw a grenade and rush in.

In Carl's eyes, the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia was not very brave enough to fight against the guard infantry with dense bayonet formations.

If Carl encountered the Austrian regular army, he would never let the guards infantry rush forward desperately.

The battle was not beyond Carl's judgment. The combat effectiveness of the army in the Kingdom of Sardinia was really unsatisfactory. Marshal Boliyu imagined that the officers and soldiers of the Kingdom of Sardinia should have the belief that the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sardinia should have was too ideal.

After successive defeats, even the reserve team of the Kingdom of Sardinia surrendered and fled in an established manner!

Tens of thousands of troops of the Kingdom of Sardinia were defeated in just one day, giving up a large gap in the middle, causing the hundreds of miles of defense carefully arranged by the Austrian-Sardinian-Italian state coalition to collapse.

If the main position in the middle is gone, the French army can detour the positions of the anti-French alliance to both sides, so there is no need to defend other areas of the hundreds of miles of defense...

When the news of the collapse of the main force of the Sardinian army was sent back to the coalition command, both Marshal Boliyu and other Austrian generals were shocked.

They never expected that the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia would be so vulnerable!

Later, when he learned that the main attack was only a division of the French army, which was only a 10,000 army, the Austrian generals even criticized the incompetence of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

This battle is protecting the territory of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and they are so cowardly and timid!

However, no matter how much you complain, the result was destined. In order to prevent the Kingdom of Sardinia from falling to France due to this defeat, Austrian Marshal Boliu directly led the main force of the Austrian army into the capital of Turin, claiming to help the people of Sardinia defend the capital of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

After the Austrian army entered Turin, it immediately forced the Sardinian royal family to sign a national mobilization order, opened all the armories of Turin City, and selected qualified young and strong people from the villages and towns around the city to conduct armed and basic training.

The Italian state coalition also lost the trust of the Austrian generals. After all, the Kingdom of Sardinia is a country with strong combat effectiveness in Italy. Even the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia is so deceptive. Could it be that they should rely on the Pope's army and the commercial mercenaries of Venice and Genoa?

Don't joke, the Austrian generals have been taught a lesson by the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia and will never continue to believe in the combat effectiveness of the Italians!

Therefore, the Italian state coalition was deployed by Marshal Boliyu in the east of the Kingdom of Sardinia, near the Milan area. Marshal Boliyu was not worried that the French army would bypass Turin and attack the Milan area. Doing so would only expose the French army's rear route to the nose of the main Austrian force.

The Austrian army is not the waste snack like the Sardinian army.

In the First Army of the French Defence Force, Carl soon received the results and losses of the battle.

As always, the system-brained army does not have the species of serious wounded, and the minor wounded do not affect combat capabilities at all.

Therefore, only the dead Guard infantry were recorded.

Although there are also some people involved in the battle, the number is small and they are always responsible for shooting cover, so there is no loss.

The Guards infantry lost about 1,100 people in this battle.

For a battle with a total of more than 100,000 people on both sides, this loss is not too great.

No matter how weak the combat effectiveness of the Sardinian army was, they could rely on their defensive advantages to use guns and cannons to cause considerable casualties to the guard infantry in the attack.

The guard infantrymen who were engaged in combat only had 10,000 people in size, but they needed to continuously break through the multi-layer defense line arranged by tens of thousands of people. On average, only a few hundred people were lost on one layer of defense line.

The officers who were successful in the battle were promoted, and the subsequent supplementary soldiers were replenished into the troops with severe damage. These supplementary soldiers were trained after brainwashing the French revolutionaries who were arrested.

Naturally, these revolutionaries are not qualified to form an army independently. They follow the large army in a way of replenishing troops. If there is any loss in front, they will fill in as new recruits.

If you want to be promoted to an officer, just fight for your life on the battlefield.

In this battle, more than 36,000 Sardinian prisoners were captured. Due to the large number of prisoners, Carl had to stay for a few more days to hand over all the prisoners to the rear guards and then send them back to France.

These prisoners of the Kingdom of Sardinia will enter Paris, and then select young and strong people for brainwashing and training to form a new foreign legion.

While browsing the battle report, Carl soon discovered one of the outstanding officers.

The only one of the battalion-level troops responsible for the attack had the least combat damage, with only one person killed in battle, almost zero combat damage, but this battalion completed their combat mission well.

Carl's eyes turned to the name of the commander of the best performing force - Napoleon Bonaparte.

Carl called his adjutant and asked, "Did the commander of the First Regiment of the First Division be killed by artillery shells in this battle because he took the lead in charge?"

The adjutant flipped through the small notebook in his hand and nodded and replied, "Yes."

"As the commander of the regiment, he is still doing the leading charge. The officers in the First Army are so in a bad mood and do not care about their lives at all!

This boy named Napoleon performed well and promoted him to the commander of the First Regiment, and his troops were all included in the First Regiment of the First Division."

"Yes, General."

The adjutant responded expressionlessly and made a record on the small notebook.

This little Napoleon officer who had been forgotten by Levi was discovered by Carl during the first battle of this expedition to Italy.

This is not a favorable treatment for Carl. Carl has a habit. After every battle, he will select the best officers to be promoted to the level.

Of course, other officers will also be promoted normally based on their military merits, but they are far inferior to the first place here!

Carl even started browsing this with the performance of officers at the company captain level.

However, the officers promoted by the system brainwashing soldiers performed almost the same, and they generally had the habit of taking the lead in charge. Even if they performed well, they would often die on the battlefield...

Only senior division-level officials who left the front line of the battlefield eliminated the problem of taking the lead in charge, because the Li Wei government had strict orders that the guards of senior officers must prevent senior commanders from going to the front line in person before the army was fully exhausted.

This is an ordinance issued after Gascoll's death.

Carl, influenced by Li Wei, also began to change his mind, believing that middle and senior officers should not take risks to the front line in person, and their deaths would be a huge loss to the French Defence Force!
