Chapter 2269: Zeng Ying
Latest website: German mercenaries performed outstandingly. They were uncharacteristically, not afraid of death, but fought **** battles with the enemy!
The Austrians who hired them had silver dollars in place, and Emperor Leopold I was sober-minded, fearing that the army would be defeated and the money would still be there.
Therefore, his wealth went to people's comfort and was willing to spend money. German mercenaries received silver dollars and their combat effectiveness naturally increased.
Secondly, the Austrians launched an offensive of public opinion, using the Holy War to deal with the pagans from the East, which aroused the resonance of the German mercenaries. Those who believe in God must unite and defeat the pagans from the East!
Now that they still control the South China Army’s path to the rear, Major General Eckelberg’s offensive posture has been severely weakened, and he is unable to fight anymore and has to ask Zhang Jiayu for help.
At this time, the South China Army marched towards Vienna. Although the road to Vienna had been opened up, there was a disturbance in the rear, which made him scratch his head very much.
His biggest problem is too few troops!
On the surface, there are 350,000 troops under his command. In fact, there are only 100,000 Chinese, and the rest are the Imperial Army.
The Imperial Confederate Army can’t say that they have no combat power, and they can be used to maintain order and assists. However, they are not capable of defending the Austrians and German mercenaries. After all, it is the Imperial Confederate army. We can’t demand too much!
Zhang Jiayu felt the pressure, because Austria mobilized the whole country, made great efforts, and had money to pay. The soldiers fought and the civilians took the lead.
The army worked desperately, while the civilians dig fortifications to resist the South China Army.
Even under such unfavorable circumstances, Zhang Jiayu ordered the 7th Army’s Zeng Ying, Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai, Zhao Yinxuan, and the Huangxuan army to continue westward with 150,000 people, and the Fifth Army’s Zuo Menggeng and Dang Shou Su, Dou Mingwang, and others have a total of 50,000 people serving as the reserve team. He and Ma Bao led the troops and 60,000 people to open up the line of communication behind!
He did not stay on the front line to command. In his opinion, the elite soldiers of the South China Army have the ability to enter Vienna!
Led by Zeng Ying, the Seventh Army divided into three groups and marched towards Vienna with great momentum, shocking the Austrians!
The artillery fire roared and the gunshots were rapid. After three days of offensive, the Seventh Army advanced thirty miles, Baipi lost as many as 50,000 people, and the Seventh Army lost 20,000 people in combat effectiveness. military.
Less than a hundred miles away from Vienna, Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli came to the front line to supervise the battle and ordered not to give way!
At this time, Baipi's army was as high as 250,000 people, trying to stop the attack of the South China Army.
Yu Dahai, a member of the Seventh Army, was a valiant general. He led 10,000 people into the Baipi's position with a sharp knife, causing the Baipi's position to become chaotic.
Every inch of earth and blood is as fierce as a decisive battle with the Royal Forest Army of the Baotou Sultan.
Yu Dahai advanced another twenty miles, and the entire Seventh Army also advanced ten miles.
Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli was so furious that he ordered all the senior officers in the white-skinned troops who had fled to be arrested and shot them all!
The defeated Austrians used all their military power and drove all the clerks, grooms, and cooks to the battlefield, but to no avail, their strong positions were broken one by one. In Grinzburg, which was heavily guarded by Austria, was also defeated. Yu Dahai hit in, this place is less than thirty miles away from Vienna!
There were more than 5,000 people left in Dahai’s army, and they broke into Grinzburg. They ransacked the fort, drank Austrian beer, and grilled Austrian sausages.
Victory is in sight, and Yu Dahai triumphantly reported to Zeng Ying: "Vienna is in sight, like a broken door. I can kick the door down by kicking it up!"
His words aroused the impatient comparison among the other generals of the Seventh Army, and they rushed forward and the formation was chaotic.
Surprisingly, Yu Dahai was too happy too early. Seeing that his painstakingly managed town fell, Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli immediately organized a large force for reinforcement, and nearly 70,000 people quickly moved eastward to Grinzburg. They went all the way. Fighting hard, first defeated two imperial army divisions
, After tearing open the crack, flooded into Grinzburg like a blowout.
An astonishing scene appeared. The Austrians lacked muskets. They were two people firing a musket, each delivering a small bag. There were five bullets of ammunition in the bag. If the person with the gun fell during the attack, the person without the gun. Pick up the musket again and continue to charge!
There are no trained soldiers in Austria, so the civilians will be recruited. Among them are the gray-haired old people, the middle-aged and the young, the three generations of old, middle-aged and young men charging together!
Although the soldiers were uneven and lacking in weapons, their fighting spirit was high.
With an order, these temporarily enlisted Austrians charged fiercely, flooding like a tide.
Yu Dahaibu was immediately caught in a bitter battle, even if they beat the Austrians down like firewood, with heavy casualties, but there were few people at Dahaibu, and they couldn't defend Grinzburg immediately!
Everywhere there were white-skinned cries of killing, like a boiling pot.
In furious Yu Dahai, he led his guards to fight against Baipi. They shot and slashed with knives. One hundred people killed three hundred Baipi.
But more and more white skins surrounded the sea area.
When they charge forward without fear of sacrifice, there will be more people and less people.
What's more terrible is that too much ammunition was used in the previous battle, and the ammunition in the sea department was scarce, so I could only use cold weapons against the enemy, and the power was greatly reduced!
Yu Dahai was wearing heavy armor and dual wielding weapons, and entered the white leather formation.
He swung both knives and cut the white skin into pieces and fell to the ground, bloody.
The two knives were zigzag-shaped, blood filled the hilt, but the enemy was not rare, and the people around him kept falling down.
When he couldn't protect himself, a new force came to kill, but Li Zhanchun led his army to kill and rescued Yu Dahai.
"The commander ordered me to rescue you!" Li Zhanchun said when the two met.
Yu Dahai said hoarsely: "Okay, let's defeat the enemy together!"
"Unbeaten!" Li Zhanchun smiled bitterly: "The commander ordered the retreat!"
"What?!" Yu Dahai was so angry that he slammed his helmet on the ground ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ exasperatedly said: "We are going to Vienna, we are actually going to retreat?"
"Baipi attacked us across the board. Our reserve team has been sent out, and the ammunition has run out, so I can't fight anymore!" Li Zhanchun said: "If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!"
Seeing that the sea was dragging along, Li Zhanchun said angrily: "The commander said, we can't bear the consequences of a Chinese general who died in the first battle against Europe!"
"It doesn't matter if your life is important or not, you have to execute the order!" Li Zhanchun patted him on the shoulder and said.
The commander's words were very heavy, and Yu Dahai had to obey, and Li Zhanchun evacuated Grinzburg!
At the same time, the Seventh Army retreated across the board.
Zeng Ying was very annoyed. He became the first general to retreat in the European War, setting a historical record!
