Chapter 2538: Swept the Holy Roman Empire

After the meeting, everyone was vying to ask Zhang Jiayu about the British war. Unfortunately, the report was vague and couldn't satisfy everyone's gossip. They only knew that the Chinese navy and the army successfully handled Britain, which is incredible!

The headquarters of the First Army was filled with smoke and smoky. Participants turned into smoke guns, energetically releasing poisonous gas.

In such an environment, if you don't smoke, you will swallow other people's second-hand smoke, so you have to smoke and smoke vigorously.

"You all feel that you can't do anything to those of the same clan, but have you thought about it, were they polite to us?" Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli asked Zhu Baipi.

All the white skins don't have a good face about this, they can be fed up with the anger of the same race!

The Holy Roman Empire is a scattered confederate country with hundreds of local powers. They are opposed to any country that wants to unify the empire, and they will not listen to the arrangements of the Austrians. The "Thirty Years War" was fought across the continent. It is because the local Protestant forces opposed the war that the Catholic Austrians broke out. The two sides fought a battle and the Austrians suffered a lot. Looking at the war, the German Empire’s economy was severely decayed, religious divisions were legalized, and foreign forces could arbitrarily intervene in Germany. What a just Austrian Catholic is not heartbroken!

Due to the official request of the South China Empire, Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli used Chinese when speaking, and he gave an allusion: "He is neither benevolent, nor am I righteous!"

Some people do not understand, the marshal explained to them, everyone understood "you do Easter, I do Christmas!" (you do the first day of the junior high school, I do the fifteenth)

I give you face, do you give me face?

It makes sense to think about it, everyone's cruelty is gradually rising.

Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli continued: "Everyone must recognize the situation clearly. When the South China Empire enters our Austria, we must obey the empire and serve the empire. This'voting certificate' must be handed beautifully!"

"Moreover, this is a good opportunity to make a fortune, everyone must not miss it!" The marshal tempted.

When it comes to money, everyone is shocked.

Seeing to persuade everyone, Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli asked the officers to go back to convey his instructions, especially to obey military discipline, and those who violate discipline must be punished severely.

After mobilization, the officers and soldiers of the First Army of the Imperial Austrian Army set off with high morale.

Let’s say that the 300,000 soldiers under the banner of the Central Army of the Holy Roman Empire set off in five directions and swept all the way. The forces of the Holy Roman Empire are in chaos!

The army of the Holy Roman Empire carried out the strategy of dying those who rebelled against us and letting those who follow us become slaves. They eliminated cities, fortresses, fortresses, castles and villages on the road, killed the rebels, captured the surrenders, robbed their belongings, and burned them. Their dwellings, as well as destroying fields, mines, and cutting down fruit trees, can be said to be innocent.

Behind the five troops, a road of blood and fire soon appeared. The white-skinned people howled and cried bitterly, rose up to resist, helpless.

For the fragmented Holy Roman Empire, a force of 70,000 people is already a terrifying enemy. Many of those local forces do not have a standing army. They have to hire troops to fight, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined!

Even if there are not many standing troops, the Central Army who wants to resist the invasion has to assemble a large number of troops, but the problem is that the South China Army is a "nomad force!"

They rushed all the way to the battlefield, defeated and defeated the army, conquered many important places, and transported the goods and slaves back to the rear!

When the city was blocked by the ramparts, they were accompanied by the H210 heavy artillery. The First Army of the Imperial Austrian Army was no exception, and they were also equipped.

Seeing the power and high rate of fire of the H210 heavy artillery, Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli did not have a taste in his heart. The troops under his command also experienced the lethality of this artillery and suffered heavy losses!

Under the impact of the H210 heavy artillery, the white-skinned fortresses fell apart, and then the white-skinned fortresses outside swarmed in. All those who refused to surrender were shot dead. Those who surrendered were turned into slaves and robbed and burned. The First Army of the Army gradually entered a "best state".

At first they couldn't make it, and then they made it faster and more ruthless than the Chinese.

Worthy of being of the same clan, the First Army is very aware of the white-skinned fertile land, and the army goes straight to those places, doing bad things as much as they want, making money and spending money!

Passau City, 50 miles away from the Austrian border, is a coal and iron city. It has coal and iron, and it has huge profits. It is an important source of finance for the Grand Duke of Bavaria.

It can be said that the high walls of the city are solid, and there are many bunkers. Along the 8 meters high city wall, there is a moat 5 meters wide and more than 3 meters deep. The water in the trench is over the heads of people, and there are bunkers on the walls---for small towns. Using bombs to attack the city wall is extremely beneficial. Blow up the people on the wall, and then the special forces will use their kung fu to get on the wall, and soon they will be able to take down the town, and the city of Pasau is not afraid of bomb attacks.

Deer Rocks are scattered all over the moat inside and outside, and the traffic arteries are equipped with horses. There are three thousand defenders and thousands of them are equipped with iron armor. The guard is Marquis Drake, a veteran who has fought in the Thirty Years' War.

When the First Army arrived, Marquis Drake refused to surrender, and the artillery troops of the South China Army who were accompanying him immediately set up artillery outside the city.

Siege of the city is handy for the First Army. Before that, the local people were first driven to clear obstacles and fill in the gully. None of the dead or injured were soldiers in the army, and they were not afraid of loss at all.

As soon as the battle started, the H210 heavy artillery shots one by one to destroy the bunkers in the city one by one, and then focused on the exposed heads of the rifled gun, and used bows, bombs, and kerosene bombs to suppress the enemy troops in the city and protect the engineers from blasting the city gates. Finally, the assault team burst into action, rushed into the city or climbed the wall, and the follow-up troops followed suit.

The troops generally no longer use heavy artillery to destroy the city wall. It is good if the city wall is collapsed, but some walls are extraordinarily strong and consume a lot of artillery shells, which is not cost-effective.

The battle lasted only three and a half hours. The seemingly sturdy city of Pasau was taken by the First Army at a small cost of more than 100 casualties. Three thousand defenders were annihilated. The Marquis Drake was taken to Laymondo. Marshal Montecuccoli, handed over his sword and surrendered.

The two were still acquaintances, Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli shook his head and said: "If you know you can't beat it, it's not good for you to surrender early!"

Marquis Drake said unconvincingly: "You have the cover of Chinese heavy artillery. If there is no heavy artillery, you will have to pay at least 10,000 people!"

The marshal said unhappily, "I showed off the heavy artillery, and you didn't drop it. Who is to blame!"

From the city of Passau, people and goods worth five million silver dollars (including the sale of slaves) were obtained. In just one city, the First Army made a lot of money.

Then they continued to fight north. Since the start of the campaign, within 20 days they have captured 15 cities and towns in a row, wiped out more than 30,000 enemies, and obtained more than tens of millions of silver dollars.

In the South China Army, the best record belongs to the Yulin Army. It is led by the second prince Yan Yu. The generals are the "Three Tans" namely Tan Wen, Tan Yi, and Tan Hongye. They have strengthened their military strength and artillery, and even the civilians have more. , They rushed into Munich, the capital of Bavaria, and the contemporary Archduke of Bavaria, Ferdinand Maria, handed over his sword to Yan Yu.

The Grand Duchy of Bavaria is one of the seven electors of the Holy Roman Empire. Its strength is higher than that of the Holy Roman Empire, but it depends on who is compared. Compared with the South China Empire, it is definitely not enough!

After conquering the city of Munich, the Imperial Forest Army displayed its "long-legged" ability and slammed into the hinterland of the Holy Roman Empire!
