Chapter 2263: The strong countermeasures of the Austrians
Latest website: The South China Army is indeed too powerful!
They have muskets, rifled guns, bows and arrows, various types of marching guns, flying thunder cannons and Thor's hammer, as well as countless bombs, the firepower is extremely fierce!
Also used a lot of bows and arrows and catapult!
These two things belong to the sunset equipment in the Austrian army and even the white leather army, and they are almost extinct. Even the white leather laughed at the tribes who used bows and arrows and said that they were backward.
When the South China Army used the bows and arrows so convincingly, the Austrians understood: "Oh, it turns out that bows and arrows can still be played like this!"
General Diaz Mariano once faced the South China Army with a group of 5,000. During the confrontation, the front-line troops of the two armies played queuing up and shot to death.
The Austrians are brave!
They dare to shoot face-to-face with the enemy, frowning is not a hero!
However, the bombs and bows that were constantly falling above their heads were in a state of being beaten and unable to fight back, causing them to consume their courage rapidly and finally defeated.
Among other things, the Crimean archers thrown by the pagans showed great power and beat the Austrians so that their mothers could not recognize them.
In the past, the Crimean archers didn't even say they went to attack the city, and even when they saw the Austrian brigade in the field, they didn't dare to go forward and fight.
Leopold I heard the reports from the generals in person. The more he listened, the more depressed he became. He simply refused to listen, and asked Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli straightforwardly: "My marshal, what do you say should you do?"
Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli gritted his teeth and said: "The pagans from the east are more ferocious than the Ottomans. Now they can't defend the city, and it's hard to win a field battle. There is only one way we can use!"
"What method?" Leopold I asked hurriedly.
"That is to use our blood and our lives to stop them!" Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli said decisively: "Your Majesty, the minister needs to be authorized!"
"Say!" Leopold I said.
"Resist resolutely and resist to the end. All general-level officers will surrender their families. If anyone does not get an order to retreat, they will all be put to death, and their family members will be put in jail for 20 years! The rest of the officers and soldiers who retreat on the battlefield without permission... "The marshal pondered for a moment: "Execute tithe order!"
He originally wanted to say that all the other officers and soldiers who retreat on the battlefield would be executed without permission, he changed it to a tithe killing order.
Nonetheless, everyone took a sigh of relief!
Ruthless enough!
"It must be done!" Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli explained: "Our border defenses are lost. If we retreat, it will be Vienna! We cannot retreat!"
He said sharply: "All people must fight to the end to be able to keep Vienna! All people must be mobilized, and all the forces that can be used must be mobilized, we..."
"It's possible to lose so badly!" The marshal said ruthlessly!
Everyone was stunned. They thought that the marshal would say "Able to defeat the enemy!"
Unexpectedly, he said, "Not so miserable!"
The hall was silent for a while, only the heavy breathing of everyone.
The marshal sighed in his heart, the more he knew, the heavier the burden would be.
The pagans did not take the Austrian army seriously. Regardless of their large numbers, the attacking troops were mostly servants.
The emperor of the heathen did not arrive, and the main force of the heathen did not move!
In other words, the Austrian army has been wounded internally by just using a partial division.
They used heavy firepower to frighten the Austrians and clearly achieved their goal.
Even if the Austrians can defeat the current partial division, when the pagan emperor comes to the battlefield, Austria will undoubtedly lose!
In the Marshal's view, the battle situation is definitely not optimistic.
Hearing the marshal's request, Leopold I pondered for a while and said: "It's time!"
"Thank your Majesty!" Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli bowed.
The monarchs discussed for a while and passed the "Report to the Subjects of the Holy Roman Empire", and issued a call to the subjects to contribute their strength and money, and all of them will do their best.
This is a statement on the table. In actual operation, it is to recruit all the subjects who can fight, join the war, and force it!
If there is any inconsistency, those with official positions will be cut for the people, and those without official positions will go to jail for hard labor, and will never forgive them.
It just happens that a lot of manpower is needed to repair the city wall, just them!
After Leopold I learned about the grim situation on the battlefield from Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli, he held the attitude of "Either enjoy the sweetness of victory together or go to **** together" to his subjects. Anyway, he does not Fortunately, the subjects would never want to relax!
He led the Duke of Military Affairs Minister Tony Cross to open the warehouse, arm his subjects, and let them join the war. All men of the right age must receive military training.
Let the Secretary of State Marco Asensio, Duke of Ascencio, coordinate the nation's funds, food, and materials, and exercise control.
The Austrian emperor roared: "We must take care of everything, make good use of them, and defeat Christ's enemies!"
Duke Marco Asensio nodded and said, "As you wish!"
He received an instruction that he must send capable personnel to various countries for assistance and strive for all possible assistance.
"If we are unlucky, they will not be better!" Leopold I snorted coldly.
People filed out and left the room, leaving only Leopold I.
He watched the courtiers just moved out, and everyone gathered around the Austrian map that seemed to discuss the military situation in a daze. What a magnificent mountains and rivers, would he cry like the Eastern Roman Emperor Heraclius, and sigh sadly: "Beautiful Austria, goodbye!"
In 635 AD, the Arabs aggressively attacked the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium). As a result, the Eastern Romans were defeated and lost the wealthy Syrian provinces. From then on, the eagle flag of the Eastern Roman Empire could no longer fly over Syria~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At that time, the Eastern Roman emperor Heraclius said painfully: "Beautiful Syria, farewell!"
"No, no!" Leopold I suddenly stood up and vowed: "I must not let my country be lost to the hands of infidels!"
As an act of his self-improvement, he returned to the imperial palace in Vienna and announced that he would donate his wealth worth three million silver dollars as military expenses!
Leopold I was open-minded and honest: "As long as the country is there, then there is everything! If the country is lost, no matter how much wealth is there!"
Under his leadership, the whole country donated money and materials. Unlike the Eastern Emperor Chongzhen, Leopold I was lucky. His subjects actively donated, such as the family of Duke Marco Ascencio, the Minister of State. After donating a full one million silver dollars, they sold the land and property in the family to make up the money, so that after selling the horses in the family, Duke Marco Ascencio was going to walk to the palace to work!
As a result, in a short period of time, the whole of Austria received nearly 10 million silver dollars in military expenditures. These military expenditures brought a steady stream of mercenaries, munitions, and materials. They were put on the battlefield to deter the Chinese from entering. pace!
