Chapter 553: The Price


"Naniel, stand behind me!"

"My squadron leader, you should save it, I'm your soldier, if I stand behind you, then I won't be invited to tea by the Judge Advocate General after the war!"

Although the situation was chaotic at the moment, and countless Prussian cavalry were rushing towards them, Nanir's face seemed to be unconcerned and still grinned at Beverly.

Nanil's words forced Beveri to put his prepared words back into his stomach, and as the two spoke, a Prussian cavalry rushed in front of Nanil.

Naniel calmly aimed his gun at the Prussian cavalryman, who was about to swing his saber at his head, and then heard a single shot, and the bullet flew towards the horseman's chest.

The reaction of the Prussian cavalry was remarkable, as he saw Nanir raise his gun and aim at him, and immediately attached himself to the horse's back, and the bullet flew over the scalp of the cavalryman.

Nanir was busy reloading the second ammunition, but the Prussian cavalry had already rushed in front of him "Get down!"

Hearing this, Nanir didn't care about his image, and immediately fell to the ground, and just as he was short, Bivili shot him behind him.

The shot hit the Prussian cavalryman in the chest, but the Prussian cavalry was not one of the light cavalrymen, the cavalryman's coat was covered with a layer of cuirass, and although the bullet hit him in the chest, it was blocked by the cuirass.

But despite this, this Prussian cavalry turned pale.

Although the bullet did not kill him, he was also upset when the bullet hit the breastplate.

The force of the impact made it feel like a hammer had been struck in the chest.

But this is the end of their good fortune, there are countless Prussian cavalry behind this Prussian cavalry are also swarming in, how can a few dozen people in Bivili resist the impact of the Prussian cavalry.

The Austrian front army was completely in disarray, with the impact of floods behind them, and the Prussian army on the other three sides was constantly invading, especially when the Prussian artillery fired shells at the completely shrunken Austrian army, and countless frightened Austrian soldiers scurried like headless flies.

And their consequence was to die under the butcher's knife of the Prussian army Soul.

A stream of water several meters wide split the Austrian army in half, and Tuha watched with resentment as the Prussian army slaughtered his men in his binoculars "Quickly order the generals in front to immediately form a military formation to resist and bring me all the artillery.

Kill those Prussian mongrels right here!

And find a way to build a way for me right away!

” Looking at the battlefield in front of him, Dessau was very satisfied with the performance of the Prussian army.

Originally, the staff officers suggested to Dessau that the 19th Division be ambushed in the rear of the Austrian army, so that it might be possible to achieve the goal of completely annihilating the Tuha army, but Dessau did not take this suggestion.

Tuha is an excellent commander.

And the armies under his command that have been fighting the Ottomans on the Austrian-Turkish front all the year round are naturally not soft persimmons.

The sudden flood could have taken the Austrians by surprise.

But as long as the brains of the army are not lost, but after a while, the officers can complete the reorganization of the army under the orders of the commander-in-chief.

At that time, the Prussians would lose the advantage of first strike, and let's not forget that even if two divisions were assembled, the Prussian army would still be nearly half the strength of the Austrians, and the total strength of the two divisions under Dessau would be just over 20,000.

Greed is not enough for snakes to swallow elephants, and it seems that snakes do have mouths to swallow elephants.

But whether or not you have the stomach to digest an elephant thoroughly is a big problem.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Dessau decided to ambush the 19th Division on both flanks of the Austrian forward army, and the high reeds became the natural cover of the 19th Division.

The Prussian army of more than 20,000 naturally did not have any advantage in strength against the Austrian army of nearly 20,000.

However, the Austrian army, which had been confused by the flood, was suddenly attacked by the Prussian army, and the chaos was certain, and in this case, the Prussian army naturally became more and more courageous with its momentum.

In addition to the order of the artillery to fire shells at the opposite side as quickly as possible to cover his own army, Tuha could only hope that the officers of the forward army would see the flag of their own army and thus resume command of the army.

But in the midst of the chaos, there were not many officers who could carefully look at the flags behind them, and even those Austrian officers who wanted to do what Tuha ordered could not organize a large-scale defensive formation in the current form.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through Tuha's mind "Quick, the whole army will disperse and retreat immediately, and set those reeds on fire for me immediately!"

Although the reeds on both sides of the road were separated by the impact of the flood, the reeds outside the area of the current were still standing tall, and now that the situation on the other side was becoming more and more erosive, Tuha could not care so much.

Although the flood divided Tuha's rear army and the forward army in half, but at the same time it also formed a natural fire barrier, and the Austrian forward army was already overwhelmed, and it was impossible to say when it would collapse.

Hearing Tuha's order, all the anxious staff members who were originally standing beside Tuha were stunned, they didn't seem to hear Tuha's order, they just looked at Tuha blankly.

Under the gaze of these staff, a look of annoyance appeared on Tuha's face, and then he was only heard shouting angrily: "Are you all deaf!

Didn't hear my orders!

Immediately send orders to the artillerymen to fire incendiary grenades into the reeds on the opposite side, and to shoot the rest of the people who told us, so that they should be ready for fire immediately!

” After being scolded by Tuha, the staff finally reacted, and then everyone immediately started to act according to Tuha's orders, but after listening to Tuha's words, everyone's faces looked very strange, as if worried and frightened.

The current incendiary bombs are not the incendiary bombs of later generations, the current incendiary bombs are similar to the medieval fire oil bombs, they are made of grease, this kind of shells are very common in the navy, and there is naturally a certain amount of storage in the army.

Although the roots of those reeds were soaked in water, they were a little dry, so you can imagine what kind of flames would be caused once the incendiary bombs fell into the reeds!

You must know that Lake Pyrgé is not a small lake, and the area of reeds is naturally surprisingly large.

Originally, the scout cavalry of the Austrian army would open a certain distance around the marching road during reconnaissance to facilitate the safe passage of the subsequent army, but due to manpower constraints, this gap was not very large.

Tuha could see clearly through his telescope that the Prussian army that was now attacking the flanks of the Austrian forward army had come out of the reeds.

Tuha believed that Dessau did not have many soldiers and horses under his command, and now he could clearly see through the telescope that the Prussian army on the battlefield belonged to two divisions, and these two divisions were the last bargaining chips of Dessau's men that Tuha had already known.

Since their own forward army is doomed to defeat, it is better to drag the Prussians into hell together, although the Austrian forward army is already in chaos, but once the incendiary bombs work, then the situation of the Prussian army will also become very critical.

It is not advisable to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, but if you have lost 1,000, you can use all means to pull the opponent's 800 people into the water.

The Austrian artillery began to fire again, but what the Prussians did not expect was that although the Austrians were very loud, the shells did not fall on their heads as densely as in the previous rounds.

Just when the Prussian army was puzzled, suddenly I saw a flame burning in the reeds behind the 19th Prussian Division, and then under the action of the wind, this flame burned more and more, and finally showed a trend of rapid spread.

Without waiting for his subordinates to reply, Dessau had already seen this change in the telescope, and this change made Dessau's forehead jump.

It is impossible for the reed swing to catch fire for no reason, and now that it is on fire, there is only one reason, and that is that it was deliberately done by the Austrians.

To tell the truth, it is not at all realistic for Dessau to give up on the impending results of the battle at this time, and the Prussian army is in a state of devastating and decaying throughout the battlefield, and if this situation continues, it may only take another hour for the Prussian army to destroy the enemy on the battlefield and achieve victory.

But the sudden flame completely disrupted Dessau's original plan, and there was no way to say the direction of the wind in autumn, in other words, the flame in the reeds was very dangerous, as long as the wind direction changed or the wind was strong, then this flame could become the black hand that buried the Prussian army.

"Tuha, you are ruthless, but since you are like this, then don't blame me for being rude!"

Thinking in his heart, Dessau waved his hand to the staff officer beside him, and his order could be said to be the same as the previous Tuha, that is, the Prussian troops must retreat before the flames arrived, but before that the artillerymen must hit all the incendiary bombs on the head or perimeter of the opposing army!
