Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 94

The morning light slowly opened the curtain, the blood stained the ground, and the red lanterns rising in the east reflected each other. The air also exuded a thick bloody smell, as if telling the tragic night.

The war has come to an end. Three or two Austrian soldiers are sweeping the battlefield. From time to time, a group of captives are escorted away, proving who is the winner of this war.

Griggie ordered: "Dispose of the enemy's corpses as soon as possible. Not so many priests in our army send them farewell!"

The summer of 1848 was exceptionally early. In May, the temperature rose to 32 ° C. In order to avoid the plague, the dead bodies could only be burned.

...

The blaze started to burn, and a group of priests came out of the captives to participate in this farewell ceremony, and Grije didn't stop them.

Faith in continental Europe is an unavoidable topic that gives the deceased the most basic respect. This is the basic moral ethics that nobles deserve.

At the same time as the farewell enemies, the Austrian army also bid farewell to its comrades-in-arms, watching the familiar guys buried in the mud, Grieg's good mood fell silent.

Once the battle was over, the battle last night went smoothly, and even then the Austrian army paid a terrible price.

The strength of nearly a regiment was lost, especially the more than 800 people who participated in the raid, and less than half of them survived, including 100 wounded.

The casualties were heavy and the results were astonishing, killing more than 3,000 enemy troops, capturing more than 7,000 enemy troops, and seizing a few supplies, winning the biggest victory since the outbreak of war.

With the victory of the battle of Trento, the situation on the battlefield of Venice also changed dramatically, and the original face of the Sardinian army's lack of combat power was revealed.

The Austrian army in the confrontation was greatly encouraged, and many generals were flexing their muscles, preparing to find opportunities to fight.

Trento was an important part of the Venetian War, and Marshal Bardolio deployed the heavy soldiers, and there was no such good luck elsewhere. Even if it has a military advantage, this advantage cannot be several times.

The battle of Trento became the turning point of this Osa war. After this battle, the offensive and defensive trend reversed, and the Austrian army set off a wave of counterattacks.

...

The General Command of the Sardinian Army, Major General Mantua reported: "My Excellency, the present situation is very unfavorable to us. The Papal forces are retreating and have left the battlefield.

The Tuscans entered the state of ostriches after a fiasco in the previous days, and now they are stationed in Brescia, 50 kilometers away from the battlefield.

Even if we want to fight the enemy, we still have to drive for two days. Now we are fighting alone."

Marshal Bardolio frowned, and parallel imports were parallel imports, and his military literacy was simply not enough to command so many armies.

Not only he, but the entire army of the Sardinian army, there is no general who can control 200,000 troops.

There is no way, the generals are all played on the battlefield.The standing army of the Kingdom of Sardinia is only 20,000 or 30,000, and the highest-ranking first-line officers are only division-level.

Suddenly promoted to the commander of the group army, in order to command the original twenty times the troops to fight, anyone needs a process of adaptation.

At present, Marshal Bardolio is still adapting. Since the battle of Venice started, different levels of chaos have appeared in the army of the Sardinian kingdom, making him tired.

After rubbing his forehead, Marshal Bardolio said, "Don't control the army of the Papal State first. Now that something has happened to the Papal State, they can't care about this war.

The Tuscans now have only one regiment of troops, which is already optional in this war.

If it's not politically necessary, I don't mind letting them leave immediately, lest they stay and waste food!"

Obviously, for these two ally forces that did not listen to the command, Marshal Bardolio had deep grievances, and now he has completely lost faith in them.

"Marshal, Marshal, the big thing is not good!" The guard said excitedly

Bardolio glared in the direction of the sound. Deep inside, he had already been sentenced to death for the panicked guard. He was already wondering where he was going to throw this unknown bastard to eat. The soil is good.

"Slow down, the sky hasn't fallen!"

The guard calmed down as much as possible and said, "Marshal, news came from the front. Our troops besieging Trento were attacked by the enemy last night. Now they are suffering heavy losses. General Messer is withdrawing to Bergamo!"

As soon as the voice fell, the baton in the hands of Marshal Bardolio was dropped, and it happened to hit the forehead of the hapless guard.

Waiting for the guard to react, Marshal Bardolio rushed over, grabbed his neckline, and asked aggressively, "How is this possible, are you sure you haven't lied about the military?"

At this time, the guards were about to freak out, and he finally knew why the good job of returning the military to the Marshal this time fell on his head.

The guard said with embarrassment: "Marshal, these are the battle reports from the front. We have sent people to verify them, and they are absolutely accurate!"

Hearing this answer, Marshal Bardolio was even more angry. He pushed the guard to the ground with a palm, looked at him with murderous eyes, and said fiercely: "Why not report in advance?"

The guard was lying on the ground silly, at a loss, report in advance?The true and false are uncertain, and the size of the loss is uncertain. What should I report here?

Could it be that the frontline may suffer a big defeat and the army may suffer heavy losses?The specific number of casualties is between 0 and 30,000?

Looking at the murderous Marshal Bardolio, the people chose to stand by and watched very tacitly, even if they all wanted to find out what happened on the front line and why General Messer would be defeated.

After venting his anger, Marshal Bardolio slowly came over, suppressed his emotions, and continued, "Waste, don't dare to hurry up to me!"

These are two young officers with quick eyesight, and quickly set up this overwhelmed guard.

"Let's say, what happened on the front line? Isn't Messer the idiot, and the three divisions still can't beat the enemy and the regiment?" Bardolio asked.

The establishment of the infantry divisions in the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia is not large. After the expansion, it has increased, and it is basically between 8,500 and 12,000.

No matter how small this establishment is, it is also an absolute advantage for the last Austrian regiment with more than two thousand people. There is no possibility of a turnaround.

The guard said in panic: "Marshal, we have been fooled. The enemy is in Trento with more than one regiment. It is initially judged that there are at least five infantry divisions before we fail!"

There is no doubt that this is lying about military service.Killing General Messer, he did not dare to say that the enemy had only three regiments, which meant going to the military court.
