On the battlefield of Smolensk, the artillery fire rumbled, as if it would never stop. Nicholas, who was lying in the fortifications in the wild, saw one of his subordinates running over hurriedly, shouting at the top of his voice amid the rumbling cannons:

“Sir!

The Russians are coming up again!

Brothers are almost unable to withstand it!

They have too many people!"

"If you can't stand it, you have to endure it!

The collapse of the defense line must not start from our section. The commanders of the Roman Guards behind are watching. Once we collapse first, everyone should know what the outcome will be!

If you don’t want to die, just nail me behind the chest!"

Major Nicholas ordered with a cold face.

"Sir, it's not that the brothers don't work hard. More than half of our brothers have fallen down. If we continue to fight, we will all be ruined here without the execution of the Roman Guards!"

"It's better to die here than to be arrested and executed as a deserter. Do you have no family anymore?

Don’t forget, how Emperor Li Wei dealt with the families of the deserters!

Compared to us who died, the relatives behind us will only be more painful!

Don't worry, I personally take my guard to the front line and fight with everyone!"

After saying that, Nicholas, who was crying, knelt on the ground, began to summon the few remaining people around him.

Everyone, including the logistics clerk, must pick up their weapons and charge together!

Nicholas worked so hard not only because of the Roman Guards' punishment mechanism for deserters, but most importantly, as a middle-level officer, he has received news that the Russian Empire was completely at a disadvantage in the entire battle situation!

He even had to use a strong wall to clear the field to block the advancement of the Roman Guards!

It is precisely because of this that the gap in their Prussian minion guards was attacked by the influx of Russian troops.

In fact, most of these attacking Russian troops were retreating on the front line, and the mission they performed was more like a kind of ending.

The final battle that can kill and injure the Russian army's vital forces is the greatest possibility!

Before leaving, Nicholas left his confidant adjutant, looked at the eyes of the other party and reminded: "You stand here and pay close attention to the resistance of other battalions. Once our friendly forces abandon the line of defense they defend, immediately notify all troops to retreat!

Remember, the Roman Guards will only punish the first retreating deserters, and this is the only way we can survive.”

After saying that, Nicholas rushed to the battlefield with the last man.

After going to the front line, he saw a group of half of the Russian beggar soldiers who were not even equipped with muskets.

They were thin and had only a worn cotton jacket all over their body, which was incomparable to the warm clothing they wore.

The weapons in my hand are even uneven, and you can even see the wooden bench!

This beggar soldiers have always been, and even the equipment of the domestic militia troops is not as good as that of them. However, Nicholas knew very well that they were regular troops of the Russian Empire!

It looks embarrassed because these people retreated from the front line not long ago!

In order to survive, these malnourished Russian soldiers shouted "Ula" and did not fire muskets at all. They charged hundreds of meters away with fearless spirit!

It is this spirit that has enabled the Prussian minions with more complete weapons and equipment to be defeated step by step.

Nicholas listened to the 'Ula' everywhere and instinctively wanted to retreat, but suddenly the scene of the Roman Guards executing deserters yesterday suddenly appeared in his mind.

The first group of deserters who were caught did not even enjoy the treatment of shooting. The cruel Roman guards would nail the deserters to temporary wooden crosses, nail their hands and feet to them with cheap wooden thorns, allowing the deserters on the cross to shed blood in their wail...

Without having to experience it personally, just witnessing it with your own eyes is enough to make Nicholas feel chilled.

For this reason, Nicholas would rather die in the battlefield!

As for surrender, Nicholas never thought that the Russian soldiers hated Prussian soldiers very much. There have been rumors in the army that the Prussian prisoners after surrender were tortured to death by the Russians.

What's more, the Russian Empire was defeated all the way on the battlefield, and even ordinary Prussian minions knew that it was only a matter of time and a matter of death to win the fifth anti-French war.

In addition, the forces of the Holy Alliance are also increasing. Now Li Wei has not only the Prussian minion army, but also a large number of Polish minions who have the opportunity to restore the country.

That's right, Poland was restored and restored to the Kingdom of Poland, at the cost of Levi wearing the Polish crown.

However, the Kingdom of Poland is different from the Kingdom of Prussia, which was completely defeated and surrendered. The Poles used their troops to exchange for the opportunity of independence and autonomy. The king of the Kingdom of Poland was only the nominal supreme leader. The Kingdom of Poland implemented a constitutional monarchy system, and the Polish parliament had great power!

Li Wei, who is very dictatorial in the outside world, actually agreed to the demands of the Kingdom of Poland!

In exchange for hundreds of thousands of Polish soldiers to set foot on the battlefield, the young and strong Polish population was almost completely exploited by Li Wei.

Of course, all this is worth it under independent power.

However, Nicholas always felt that Livi's concessions would cover the future of the Polish Kingdom with a bloody cloud.

He didn't believe that Nicholas would kill him. Levi would really become a kind and great liberator as advertised in the newspaper!

He harshly deprived the Kingdom of Prussia and realized the absolute monarchy, but he was extra kind to Poland that restored the country, which only squeezed out the young and strong human resources of the Polish nation to invest in the battlefield. It was awkward no matter how you look at it.

Of course, this is not a question that Nicholas, a small major, needs to consider. Poland's joining has reduced the pressure on Prussian officers like Nicholas a lot. After all, the number of Polish minions is not much less than that of the Prussian minions.

This is of great reason for the wide area of ​​Poland where Levi restored his country. Levi also included the Ukrainian region into the Kingdom of Poland, and the Ukrainians there were naturally included in the Poles and were forced to conscript and participated in the war.

With a bang, Nicholas raised his gun and killed a Russian soldier with a mouthful of Ula, fierce eyes, but thin face full of cheekbones.

The other party's age seems to be almost 40!

This is already considered an "older" group among the civilian class of the Russian Empire!

It can be seen from this that the human resources of the Russian Empire were not as rich as imagined.

Of course, Nicholas knew that the human resources of the Russian Empire became so short that he no longer had the advantage of military strength on local battlefields, which was closely related to the Davari uprising that broke out in China.

The revolutionary philosophy promoted by these Davari Mutual Aid Association was exactly the same as the French Revolution. Not to mention politicians, even the middle-level army like Nicholas speculated that the mastermind behind it was Emperor Livi of the Roman Empire.

Who said that the revolution broke out in the Davari Mutual Aid Association was so appropriate?

The Russian Empire had just begun full war with the Roman Empire. The troops, which had just armed with the British loan, left their homeland with their front feet, and revolutions broke out one after another in multiple big cities!

This combination is perfect!

Of course, the Davari Mutual Aid Society never claimed its relationship with the Roman Empire.

In addition, most of the revolutionary members of the Davari Mutual Aid Association are ordinary people and even serfs. Their combat power and weapons are not on the same level as those of the regular army of the Russian Empire. Except for when the uprising was first launched, taking advantage of the empire that occupied many major cities in the Russian Empire, they have been in a state of being "encircled and suppressed".

Unlike the Russian Empire's frontline retreat, the uprising of the Davari Mutual Aid Association was almost destroyed when facing the Russian Empire that was transferred back.

Fatis, the leader of the Davari Mutual Aid Association, even hid in Tibet with a group of guerrillas and threw away all the uprising cities.

Facts have proved that the Russian Empire of this era did not have the mass base of national revolution, and no matter how many civilian classes there were in the city, they were not comparable to the vast serf manors.

Moreover, the closed and conservative national system also severely hindered the spread of the revolution. This caused the Davari Mutual Aid Association to quickly fall into a state of sluggishness after the outbreak of a wave, and killed countless revolutionary patriots from the Russian Empire, but the only one who was in full swing with the Russian Empire was cheaper.

In order to suppress the Davari Mutual Aid Association, Tsar Alexander I lost the entire Poland and Ukraine region, and the Lithuanian region was in danger, and it was only a matter of time before it was captured.

This battle of Smolensk is the last battle to open the capital of the Russian Empire.

Nicholas knew that if the Russian Empire was defeated again in this battle, they would no longer be able to organize enough power to fight the Roman Empire head-on.

How can the Russian Empire, which had poor military quality, be crushed in quantity?

As for the Russian Empire's tactics of clearing the fields, they were indeed well executed in the early stage, causing a lot of trouble to the Roman Empire's offensive. Nicholas's initial mission was almost all about escorting logistics supplies, and there was basically no useful thing on the front line...

However, after the outbreak of the Davari Mutual Aid Association, the effect of the tactics of the tactics of the Killing Wall and clearing the field was greatly reduced. A large number of troops were drawn to suppress the inland rebellion of the Russian Empire, but there was no sufficient manpower to implement the Killing Wall and clearing the field. He could only leave a large amount of population and resources to the Roman Empire army that was pushed all the way.

As for other allies of the anti-French alliance, the Swedish Kingdom sent a unit of tens of thousands of people, but was wiped out by a considerable number of Roman guards in one battle, and he could no longer intervene in this great power war.

Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland tried to land on a long coastline under the control of the Roman Empire, but due to too few troops, the landing troops were repelled one after another!

Everyone knows that Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland, who have been staying behind the scenes, took the initiative to send troops to land, which shows that they have reached the end of their journey!

The Russian Empire was about to be defeated, and Britain and the United Kingdom of Ireland could only do everything possible to save it.

However, a large part of the great advancement of the Roman Empire was based on the huge casualties of the minion army where Nicholas was located.

After Nicholas killed a Russian soldier, he turned around and looked around. All the people who were originally following him were trapped in the battle group, especially those civilians. They were not good at fighting and were easily torn apart by Russian soldiers like wild animals and turned into corpses.

There is no trace of civilization on the entire battlefield, as if it has transformed into the age of cold weapons, and even teeth have become powerful weapons!

Although Nicholas's arrival boosted morale, it did not save the situation of the war. The Russian soldiers who were eager to break through did not give them a chance to counterattack.

At this moment, Nicholas heard the sound of retreating like a heavenly sound, and he knew that it was blown by the adjutant he left behind!

Nicholas turned around and rushed towards the rear like a dream. Unfortunately, those ordinary officers and soldiers were not as lucky as Nicholas.

After all, as the leader of the first battalion, Nicholas is the safest position.

When Nicholas escaped to a safe position, he looked at the blink of an eye and there were less than 50 people following him!

You know, when the war started, Nicholas's battalion was already filled!

Ninety percent of casualties?

No, the Prussian soldiers could not score such a huge casualty ratio. Nicholas could even imagine that most Prussian soldiers died on the way to being pursued...

Of course, Nicholas had seen too many processes. He was grateful for his rank of major more than once, so that he did not have to stay on the front line. Fighting for the Roman Empire was even more dangerous than when he fought for the Kingdom of Prussia!

Those Roman guards were so cruel to kill their own people!

As soon as Nicholas retreated, he saw a group of Polish reserve teams heading up.

The Roman Guards were just supervisors. They were not without sufficient reserve forces, but they just wanted to allow the minions to exert their greatest "remaining heat" on the front line.

This is also why the Roman Guards only punished the first retreating battalion-level troops.

The rest of the people will continue to be cannon fodder!

Nicholas, who had long been numb to all this, returned to the camp in the rear under the custody of the Roman Guards. Not long after, he received a new group of soldiers.

Among them are veterans who were disabled on the front line and lost their establishment, as well as Prussian militias who just added them to the back.

Since the surrender of the Kingdom of Prussia, neither the regular army nor the reserve militia have been reduced in any organization, and they have all been put into battle as battlefield cannon fodder!

The regular Prussian army was used as soon as possible, while the militia reserve team with weak combat effectiveness carried out some training and sent it to the front-line battlefield as supplementary soldiers.

Ironically, in the total war between the Roman Empire and the Russian Empire, the most died were not the French, but the Prussians and Poles!

After Nicholas counted his new subordinates, he suddenly received a message and was taken to a captain of the Roman Guards.
Chapter completed!
