Chapter 2768: Concerns of the Duke of Luxembourg

The Grand Duchy of Bavaria belongs to one of the seven electors of the Holy Roman Empire, and its strength is the highest among the Holy Roman Empire (except Austria). Before the South China Army invaded, Ferdinand Maria led the army to resist, was defeated and captured, and received "education Afterwards, the old man said that he would do whatever the emperor asked him to do, but he was released back.

When Yan Changwu, the emperor of the Shenluo Empire, married the queen and then the concubine, Ferdinand Maria immediately followed up and married three side concubines. His concubine disagreed and was deposed by him!

The so-called high-ranking and widowed, if no one follows the emperor's behavior, the emperor will be embarrassed. Ferdinand Maria made a good start, and the rest of the European dignitaries and rich people responded one after another, and they also asked for concubines. Western religion stipulates monogamy The marriage system has been greatly damaged.

Through this move, Ferdinand Maria won the trust of the emperor. This time the Shinra Empire sent righteous troops to attack France, and Ferdinand Maria also led 40,000 troops to join the war. The Nanhua military system is used for training and deployment, and the equipment is on par with the Nanhua Army, and its combat effectiveness is very strong.

Therefore, in the golden tent, his voice was loud, and he pleaded for Henri Montecuccoli, so that others could not say that Marshal Raymondo Montecuccoli had done things unfairly.

He asked the old marshal to fight and said: "My lord, although the enemy's reinforcements are approaching, the Fortress of Verdun is important, and I am willing to take the responsibility of attacking it!"

"Very well, His Royal Highness, this responsibility will be entrusted to you!" Raimondo Montecuccoli made a decisive decision and said happily: "I will give you the command of the heavy artillery brigade and the archer unit. Send the third army to assist you!"

Ferdinand Maria said in surprise, "That's great, thank you sir!"

The so-called heavy weapons of the country are the h210 heavy guns and large counterweight trebuchets of the Heavy Artillery Brigade. These weapons are expensive to manufacture and technically difficult to manufacture. The Holy Roman Empire may equip some for fun, but batches of equipment are only Austrian talents who have received financial support and technical support from the Chinese can do it.

In this attack on Verdun, the Austrians dispatched hundreds of H210 heavy guns and eighty trebuchets, plus 10,000 archers, which effectively suppressed the Verdun defenders and caused serious damage to the defenders. damage.

With their help, the Bavarian Army increased its confidence.

As for the third army, the Austrian third army has 40,000 people, so 80,000 people will attack Verdun, enough to feed a pot of defenders.

Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli snorted coldly: "The French reinforcements from the west will not be many. We will continue to attack Verdun. At the same time, Count Waltz!"

"Here!" An Austrian lieutenant general stood up and answered, it was Count Christopher Waltz, commander of the Second Austrian Army,

"Your second army will advance twenty miles immediately, control the area in front of our army, and use resolute actions to destroy all enemies who dare to come!" The old marshal instructed.

"Yes!" the count commanded.

"Lieutenant General Ma, what do you think?" Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli asked a Chinese general on the right, who was Lieutenant General Ma Jinzhong, who supervised the army. He smiled and said, "The Marshal's handling is very serious." Chaco."

"Okay, all ministries must be more vigilant, and the enemy's reinforcements will definitely test us everywhere, and we must resist them!" Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli ordered.

All the senior officials, Nuonuo, are not going to mention it since they went to the army.

When Grand Duke Ferdinand Maria returned to his camp, his subordinates were very happy when they heard that the boss had received the mission to attack Verdun, with the help of the Austrian heavy artillery brigade and archers, and they all said: "We are going to beat up the French! "

"Yes, we want to kill the treacherous French!" Grand Duke Ferdinand Maria said fiercely.

It is angry to say that the instigator of the fall of Europe was France. If France had not stabbed Catholic Spain and Austria in the back during the Thirty Years War, the strength of the two countries had been greatly damaged, and to a certain extent, it would have led to the failure of the confrontation with the Chinese in the future!

Now that the Chinese are strong, the Austrians can only swallow their anger, but if they have the opportunity to punish France, they must not miss it.

Grand Duke Ferdinand Maria assigned his son, Marquis Maximilian, to be in charge of the military affairs of the "Front Finger", negotiated with the Sixth Army of the Austrian Army and the auxiliary army, and requested that the troops be stationed on the front line of Verdun within two hours.

The Grand Duke's status is noble, and he doesn't need to work on trivial matters.

It is never easy to move troops to defend. Tens of thousands of people have to withdraw from the position, and another tens of thousands of people take over the position and set up camp. They also need to understand the enemy's situation and deploy it. No matter how fast the movement is, it will take a day to launch a full-scale attack.

During this period, only heavy artillery bombardment, long-range sniping and small force raids could be launched.

At this time, the cavalry of the Duke of Luxembourg of the French army was already fighting lively with the Shenluo army.

The Duke of Luxembourg tried everywhere to test the weakness of the Shinra army, but he frowned.

The enemy before you is a tough one: high morale, tenacious combat, and precise marksmanship.

One of his centurions was ambushed, and the Shenluo army simply and neatly knocked them all off their horses with rifled guns. In another encounter, both sides formed a centurion to compete with sabers. As a result, the French army was defeated and was cut Sixty-nine people died, twenty-one were captured, and the Shenluo army lost less than half!

The Shenluo army fought resolutely, not only the Austrians were able to fight, but even the servants were also very determined.

"My lord, most of the enemies are young men!" Colonel Paval, a French officer, pointed out.

The Duke of Luxembourg is irritable and authentic, and this is what worries him.

Soldiers are boys?

As long as there is no large-scale and long-term war in the armies of Western countries~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Soldiers, including officers and soldiers, are generally older, because many people regard soldiers as their profession. If they retire, many people will not do other things Work, and it is easy to cause social turmoil, so there are a lot of white beard soldiers, because they have experience, if they fail to fight, they will escape or surrender, thus saving their lives.

The Shinra army is mostly young men, good young men, young and powerful, obedient, and full of energy. They are the officers' favorite soldiers.

It is obvious that the Shinra Army has completed its reorganization, and the new army is very strong. What worries him even more is that the camps of the Shinra Army are all heavily fortified, which is completely different from the previous Shinra Army. This battle is not easy to fight!

He didn't even dare to send people to test again. If the test continued, all the cavalry would be wiped out.

Worried about the loss of the Verdun Fortress, he sent someone to rush the rear troops to catch up, hoping to help the Verdun defenders.

So a day and a half later, the French army arrived and immediately fought with the second Austrian army. Hearing that the commander of the second army was Count Christopher Waltz, the French despised him at first, and rushed forward to fight. The two sides lined up to shoot, but the French soon regretted it! 2084/10321840
