Chapter 2264: Austrians save themselves

Latest website: Fully mobilized, the Austrians made a tenacious blockade against the South China Army!

They engaged in extensive field and artillery battles with the South China Army. Every Austrian general commanded his subordinates to do their utmost to resist the South China Army's offensive.

No orders, no retreat!

At first they were head-on, that is, they lined up against the South China Army, and both sides lined up to shoot them.

But soon it was discovered that the pagans were too bad. They sniped the Austrians far away before approaching. Their firepower was far and fierce. Before they got close, the Austrians were killed and injured a lot.

When you get close and fight again, you can't do what you want, and you are often defeated.

Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli immediately changed course. He issued a very correct order: "Trenches and protective walls must be provided when the troops fight, and every effort should be made to weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness!"

The Austrians followed their kindness, and instead of rushing forward without a fuss, they dug trenches, built a retaining wall, and fought a ground battle with the South China Army.

The order is easy to give, but it is not easy for the Austrians, but the Austrians still managed to do it.

Why is it not easy?

Because the Austrians don't have a magical weapon-an engineer shovel!

The engineering shovel plays a very important role in the soil work industry. The South China Army has almost an engineering shovel. The use of the engineering shovel to dig trenches to build a fort has played a good role in preventing the enemy's sneak attack and protecting itself.

The Austrians did not have engineer shovel, and the soil work was very difficult at first. Sometimes they even had to dig with their hands until the blood dripped.

Fortunately, they had money and skills, and saw the power of Chinese artifacts, so they urgently mobilized at the Royal Foundry in Vienna, fought for eight days at a speed of 2,000 a day, and imitated 15,000 engineer shovel. Sent to the battlefield, so the Austrians also have trenches and walls.

By relying on the retaining wall, you can fight against the invading enemy, and the effect is leverage!

At least the South China Army will risk the Austrians' sniper, and they will collapse a group before they arrive.

The South China Army is a first-class division, tit-for-tat, and immediately set up a "shield car" to cover the offensive.

The so-called shield car actually originated from Sun Chengzong's side car.

The chariots used in the car battalion formed by the famous general Sun Chengzong of the Ming Dynasty included partial vans and light vehicles. They were mainly used for infantry attack and protection when leaving the city.

When the Ming Dynasty Zong was reigning, Guo Deng used to build a defensive side car in Datong, with a shaft length of 1.3 feet, a width of 0.9 feet, and a height of 0.75 feet. Then the left and right are matched, the front and back are connected with hooks and loops to pull each other, and the clothes, food, equipment and antlers are carried.

After the third year of Longqing (1569), Qi Jiguang once built a side car in Jizhou.

Nowadays, the front of the South China military shield car is a large shield. The shield is made of thick wood covered with cowhide and iron. The car made in this way will not move when a small brick is hit, but a big brick will roll down, and firewood will be thrown away. Do not burn", has a strong defense.

There are wheels, pushed forward by people, and the speed is not slow.

This is the "earth tank" too!

When encountering a gunshot, the shield car remained motionless, and the bullets hit the shield car’s protection with a blaring sound, just unable to penetrate the thick armor.

The Austrians' muskets were not powerful enough to penetrate, and it was also difficult to penetrate the muskets of the South China Army.

Artillery can destroy shield vehicles, but the Austrians don't have so many artillery, and they don't have much accuracy, so they can only watch the shield vehicles of the South China Army approach.

The shield cart has holes, so the sergeant pushing in the back can see the outside, and the comrades following can also help direct the direction.

When they get close, the Austrians can throw gunpowder cans behind the shield car to kill the comrades behind, but the South China Army can also throw bombs at them... It depends on who has more bombs, the bombs are ready!

The white skin has a protective wall, and the South China Army opened the way with a shield car, reached the killing radius of its own flying thunder cannon, and stopped, first bombarded with the flying thunder cannon for one round!

After a burst of indiscriminate bombing, an infantry attack was organized. When the infantry attack encountered a strong resistance from Baipi, it stopped advancing or retracted, and then bombarded Baipi with bombs.

In this way, the bombardment and the offense alternated, pressing on the whiteskins step by step.

This hand is Yan Changwu's proud tactic, called the "hammer-anvil" tactic. I am the hammer and the enemy is the anvil. If you keep hitting hard, the enemy will be defeated!

There is no one-size-fits-all tactic in the world. After Baipi suffered a loss, they came up with no rabbits and no eagles. When the South China Army bombarded, Baipi scattered and concealed most of the troops behind and placed forward positions. Leave only a small number of troops equipped with enough protective gear and rifled guns to protect themselves, and let the South China Army’s shells and bombs blast the stones to the soil. When the South China Army’s bombardment stopped and attacked, the troops were immediately pulled back. Position, give the South China Army a head-on blow!

Once the South China Army withdrew, Baipi also withdrew the large forces and sent a small number of reconnaissance troops to follow up and monitor them, preparing for an attack at night.

That's right, Bai Pi was furious, and carried out a night battle to carry out a sneak attack on the South China Army.

Their advantage is that they are familiar with the terrain!

I have to say that Baipi has the ability, especially when they deal with the Chinese Imperial Army, the pressure on the Imperial Army is increasing!

The Austrians were clever, they carried out a lot of sniping and prevented the South China Army from marching easily.

During the formation of the position, Baipi had established a false position without a teacher, sent a small number of personnel to move, bluffed, and acted as if there were many people, attracting the fighting power of the South China Army and consuming their firepower.

In order to achieve this goal, women throughout the city of Vienna urgently mobilized and stayed up all night. While sewing uniforms for the army, they rushed to make military flags, which were used to confuse the infidels on the ground~www.wuxiaspot.com~ for the front line, All women did their best, and noble ladies were no exception. Those women who did not touch the water with their fingers all started to stab their delicate hands until they bleed!

They knew that if the pagans were allowed to break into the city and fall into their hands, they would bid farewell to their father, husband and son, and be taken into the room by the pagans!

Therefore, they participated in the creation of a large number of flags and erected them in the barracks to get the South China Army recruited. A lot of ammunition was wasted. When the attack came, there was a shortage of ammunition, and the attack failed.

Some people say that the South China Army is well-trained. For example, the commander of the Seventh Army, Zeng Ying, and the old thief of the Fifth Army, Dou Fame, are all soldiers who fought the old war.

Because only 100,000 of the invading Austrian army were authentic Chinese, the other 150,000 were the European White-skinned Imperial Army, and 100,000 were the East-Asian Imperial Army. The combat effectiveness of the White-skinned Imperial Army is not strong, which is reflected in the fighting quality It is generally not high, and the disguise of the white skin is often not found, even with the help of Chinese officers, their level is far inferior to the Chinese.

And Baipi's blocking level is rising rapidly!
