Battlefield on the Danube River, on the evening of October 12, 1700 AD.

The script rustled, across the land stained red with blood, across the layers of corpses, across the discarded and broken guns and bayonets, across the discarded and destroyed artillery and vehicles, just always moving firmly towards

forward!

One hundred thousand Austrian officers and soldiers, ranging from Archduke Henry to the lowest-ranking soldiers, could only see infantry phalanxes and groups of cavalry groups, facing the Ottomans who were still resisting on the land filled with golden dusk light.

The Yenicherry Army marches forward with great strides!

Cannonballs and bullets swept past like wind, and from time to time someone fell to the ground, but the army's advance never stopped.

Several Austrian red and white battle flags were held in front of the queue, dancing in the wind, and covered with smoke and bullet marks, as if to tell how fierce the Battle of the Lakeside Danube was today!

Today's victory belongs to Austria and the great Archduke Henry!

At this moment, the mountains and plains of Austria seemed to be cheering for Archduke Henry and his victorious army! Because the "Archduke Banker" and his army, which looked a bit chaotic at first sight, spent a whole day fighting

In a bloody battle, the Ottoman Empire's army, which exceeded 50% of its own number, was completely routed and defeated, giving the latter a annihilating blow.

After today's bloody battle, the Jenicheri Legion, which the Ottoman Empire was proud of, not only lost its prestige, but even almost ceased to exist!

The carefully organized attack by Mustafa Koprulu and Mustafa Kara completely crashed into the iron plate! The right flank of the Ottoman army fought bloody battles with the two Austrian infantry divisions commanded by Count Eugen for a full 12 hours.

, started at three o'clock in the morning and lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon.

The elite troops commanded by Mustafa Koprulu and the two Austrian infantry divisions commanded by Count Eugen fought back and forth for several rounds. By around two o'clock in the afternoon, the Ottoman Jenicheli Army had suffered heavy losses.

, began to retreat steadily under the pressure of the Austrian army.

Unwilling to fail, Mustafa Koprulu decided to give it a try and invested thousands of Tatar cavalry. With the support of artillery fire and the Yenicherry Army, he launched a fierce attack, but the result of the attack was disappointing.

It greatly exceeded Mustafa Koprulu's expectations. The Tatar cavalry, who were good at riding and shooting, and could also attack, and were able to compete evenly with the Poles and Cossacks on the grasslands of Eastern Europe, were actually arranged in a "thin line"

"The two rows of Austrian chasseurs (using rifled guns) were repulsed!

The roaring Tatar cavalry encountered the first salvo of the Austrian chasseurs 300 yards away! Nearly 1,500 corked rifle bullets rotated and flew towards the Tatars' bodies and crotches with a very stable trajectory.

The war horses. In the first round of volley alone, more than 300 people were killed! And in the second and third rounds of volleys that followed, nearly 500 people were shot down. If the attack was carried out by modern cavalry with strict disciplines, hundreds of people would be killed.

Casualties of more than ten to twenty percent were barely bearable. But how could the prairie cavalry have such endurance? Three rounds of rifle volleys completely stunned them. The surviving Tatar cavalry dared to move forward.

Rush? It’s too late to escape!

So the Tatar cavalry, whose original formation was a bit messy, suddenly fell into complete chaos!

Count Eugen immediately seized the fighting opportunity, threw in the only 1,000 light cavalry he had on hand, chased the retreating Tatar cavalry and launched a counterattack, instantly scattering the Tatar cavalry who were accustomed to fleeing.

Without the cover of the Tatar cavalry, Mustafa Koprulu's Yenicheri infantry was immediately in crisis. Originally, there were thousands of Tatar cavalry protecting them, but Count Eugen could not use his hands and feet, but now there are no more.

With the Tatars in the way, Eugen's two infantry divisions could let go of the attack.

Moreover, the 1,000 light cavalry on hand by Eugen could also be used to attack the scattered Yenicheri infantry regiment. Under the repeated attacks of the Austrian infantry and light cavalry, the infantry regiments under Mustafa Koprulu collapsed one after another.

, in the end Mustafa Koprulu could only pack up the remaining troops and withdraw from the battlefield southward.

As soon as Mustafa Koprulu withdrew, Count Eugen's two divisions were immediately liberated. He did not pursue Mustafa Koprulu's defeated army, but led his two divisions eastward.

Launch an attack and begin to attack the left flank of the Ottoman army in the center.

When Count Eugen's two divisions defeated the Ottoman army's left army and began to attack the Ottoman army's center, the center army commanded by Mustafa Kara Pasha was also on the verge of collapse.

The pretty boy John Churchill was actually very good at fighting. He first faked defeats one after another to attract Mustafa Kara to follow, and then used the woods in front of the Pozno Fortress to set up an ambush to kill 5 regiments of Jenichery infantry and more than a thousand soldiers.

The Tatar cavalry led into the woods, using the trees to disrupt their formation, and then deployed a division of infantry to the north of the woods, inflicting heavy casualties on the Jenichery infantry and Tatar cavalry.

However, Kara Pasha, who had suffered a huge loss, was still holding on, gathering his remaining troops and relying on the field fortifications left by the Austrian army to confront John Churchill who had reoccupied the woods.

John Churchill had few troops, so he had nothing to do with Mustafa Kara, but Count Eugen's two divisions launched an attack on his left wing, which made him confused!

In order to resist Count Eugen's attack, Mustafa Kara had to send all the troops at hand.

And just when Mustafa Kara was trying to resist the pincer attack from Count Eugen and John Churchill, the right wing of the Ottoman army was defeated by three divisions commanded by Archduke Henry and Count Daun. Archduke Henry didn't know it either.

What kind of bad luck did you have? The few people under your command don't look like famous generals, but on the battlefield, each one is better than the other!

The short and squat Count Eugen could fight, as could the pretty boy Churchill. Even Count Dawn, a handsome Germanic guy with blond hair and blue eyes, turned out to be very good at fighting. Under his attack, the Ottomans' right wing could barely hold on until three or four in the afternoon.

Zhong couldn't hold it any longer, and just like the left wing commanded by Mustafa Koprulu, it also collapsed!

However, Earl Daun did not attack Mustafa Kara's right wing. He had a bigger heart and wanted to eat Mustafa Kara's entire army. So he, Archduke Henry, and Archduke Henry's son Karl

Together, they led their troops to attack Kara Pasha's rear. When the retreat was tight, Mustafa Kara's army of course had no choice but to flee!

By this time, the outcome of the Battle of Lakeside Danube was completely decided.

In this decisive battle, 100,000 Austrian troops defeated as many as 150,000 Ottoman troops!

The situation in Central Europe, no, the whole of Europe, will be completely changed because of this battle!

The Battle of Lakeside Danube is not yet completely over. The Austrians have mustered up their greatest energy and launched a full-frontal pursuit!

Now is the best time to destroy the enemy!

Archduke Henry and his son Carl von Mancini were also among the pursuing team. One hundred thousand troops surged forward like a tide. This overwhelming momentum made Archduke Henry almost forget why his original intention was

What about Archduke Henry instead of Henry the Great?

Isn't it true that the great emperor is the one who has strong soldiers and horses?

The Austrian Army looks really capable!

Moreover, Earl Eugen, John Churchill and Earl Daun also seem to be capable of fighting with strong soldiers, horses and generals, and they also have money and can manage the country. Why can't they become emperors?

The Great Emperor, would you rather have the seed? When Henry thought about this, he felt something was wrong: The Great Emperor has the seed! And I am the Emperor's seed!

Isn’t my father the great emperor of the East?

When Henry was having a fever, his son Karl suddenly galloped to the side and shouted loudly in Chinese: "Sir, my child wants to learn the history of the Song Dynasty!"

"Song Dynasty?" Henry was stunned: What's so good about the Song Dynasty? I'm so scared. If you want to learn the history of the Ming Dynasty!

Karl nodded and said: "I want to learn the history of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. How did he become the emperor?"
