Holy Roman Empire

Vicenza, Field Marshal Radsky was already on the front line, and when the battle of Trento was launched, 50,000 Austrian reinforcements had arrived here in secret.

"Marshal, the troops are ready to attack the enemy at any time!" Edmund said confidently

"Is there any movement on the enemy's side?" Marshal Radsky asked with concern

War is never unilateral, and the outcome of a battle is often the result of the joint efforts of both parties.

A smart commander must always pay attention to the opponent's movements and take timely measures.

"Yesterday afternoon the enemy stopped the attack and built fortifications on the spot. It was initially judged that the enemy should change the offensive strategy and turn to defense!" General Edmund replied

"Let's proceed as planned!" Marshal Radsky said with a smile

This is the main direction of the Austrian army. The launch of the Battle of Trento is just a part of the game, the purpose is only to divert the enemy's attention.

Marshal Radsky also did not expect that the battle of Trento actually won so simply.But this is better. The top leaders of the Sardinian army are really misled.

General Messer was assisted by God, and his report perfectly covered the secret of Austrian reinforcements arriving in Vicenza. The comparison of the strength of the two sides here has been reversed.

Radski did not yet know that Bardolio put his excited force into Allah to guard against the main force of the Austrian army from Trento.

Otherwise, he can celebrate with champagne at this time.

The total strength of the kingdom of Sardinia devoted to the battlefield of Venice was only 170,000. Three divisions were directly abolished in Trento, and now three divisions were placed there. There is no suspense in the battle of Vicenza.

...

The artillery fire, the Sardinian army, which had been in an offensive state, was suddenly counterattacked by the Austrian army and was soon beaten.

With a "boom", a shell fell 30 meters away from the commander-in-chief of Major General Ots, directly taking the lives of three Sardinian soldiers and creating two more wounded.

"What's going on? How did the enemy launch an offensive?"

No one could answer this question. The sudden attack of the Austrian army had no signs at all.

As the absolute main force of the Sardinian army, the first division is the troop troop. Even after the expansion of the army, the combat effectiveness has declined, but it is much stronger than other troops.

After encountering an enemy attack, hesitated for only a few minutes before Ortuns took action.

"Order the artillery to counterattack, and at the same time report the situation we encountered here to the headquarters, send a sentry to investigate, and find out the enemy's purpose as soon as possible!"

There is nothing wrong with Ottis's countermeasures, but unfortunately the gap in strength is not so easy to make up. Weakness over strength is based on the situation where the opponent makes mistakes.

Now the Austrian army is completely attacking head-on, both sides are fighting for strength, and no conspiracy or tricks are useful here.

...

"General, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, and the artillery has suffered heavy losses!" A young officer said flustered

The look of Ottis dimmed, the artillery is the god of war, the importance is self-evident.Fighting here is also home to Austria, and it is not surprising that Austria ’s national strength can mobilize more artillery to appear on the battlefield.

But this is a tragedy for the first division of Sardinia, which means they have to be beaten passively.

"Order the troops to immediately reinforce the fortifications. After the artillery battle is over, the enemy will attack!"

Ortus made the most correct judgment. Since the war broke out, they have been in an offensive state and hit Vicenza all the way.

It was not until yesterday afternoon that I received an order from the headquarters to stop the offensive and build fortifications. It was simply too late.

At this time, Ortus had no time to think so much, no matter how simple the fortifications were, it was better than none. Even if it was a row of sacks of mud, it could block bullets.

Although this is the era of volleyball, Ottos is very clear that since the enemy has launched a counterattack, then there must be some certainty.

At this time, it is inevitably unwise to decisively fight the enemy. First, use positional construction to delay the attack of the enemy, and wait for the rear reinforcements to be the most correct choice.

Ortus is a wise man, and the first division of the Kingdom of Sardinia is barely considered elite, taking the most correct response, but the thirteenth division of Sardinia next door does not think so.

Major General Kobot seemed to have a strong sword spirit. After the Austrian army launched the attack, they decisively sacrificed volleyball tactics and came to a friendly match with the Austrian army outside Vicenza.

"Get ready, let go!"

"Get ready, let go!"

...

When the narrow road meets the brave, Major General Cobot overestimates his courage and shoots away from a distance of 100 meters. This kind of pressure is not something the new recruits can bear.

Watching each comrade fall down beside him, many Sardinian soldiers' nerves have collapsed.

Suddenly a soldier couldn't bear the pressure, dropped his gun and turned away, and the fear spread to the whole army in an instant, and the thirteenth division was defeated.

A signal soldier shouted anxiously: "The division is bad, our thirteenth division on the right is defeated, the enemy is seizing their positions!"

Ortus only felt his brain sink, the glass in his hand had fallen to the ground, and the worst thing had happened.After the thirteenth division was defeated, the flanks of the first division were exposed to the enemy, and with their simple line of defense, they certainly could not hold it.

"After ordering the third regiment to be cut off, the whole army will retreat!" Ortius ordered tremblingly

This was against the military order, but everyone on the scene had no objection and would not be able to leave without leaving.

It will not be affected by foreign military orders. This sentence is common in many places.The Thirteenth Division foolishly ran to fight the enemy, they would never make the same mistake again.

In the first division, Vicenza's Sardinian army defense line was completely opened, and the Austrian army who saw the opportunity immediately rushed to beat the water dog.

After chasing and escaping, the situation on the battlefield has changed dramatically.

On May 22, the Austrian army recaptured Padova, and the three Sardinian infantry divisions defending in the Ara region fell into the encirclement of the Austrian army.

On May 24, the Austrian army launched an offensive against Bergamo. Lieutenant General Messer stationed here fled without a fight with the troops retreating from Trento.

On May 25, the Austrian army launched the Battle of Brescia. Marshal Bardolio concentrated the remaining main forces of the Sardinian army. In order to block the Austrian offensive unsuccessful here, he was forced to withdraw to Milan.

On May 27th, the Sardinian army of Allah launched a breakout operation and surrendered to the Austrian army the next day.

At this point, the Battle of Venice launched by the Kingdom of Sardinia, which lasted less than a month, ended in total failure.
