Holy Roman Empire

After the Battle of Venice, Marshal Radsky did not stop, but only allowed the troops to repair for two days before marching into the Lombardy region.

The Sardinian government overestimated their position in the minds of the local people. After deception, the people of Lombardy have hated the Sardinian government.

At this time, the halo of Marshal Bardolio's famous general broke down again. The battle of Venice knocked down the backbone of the Sardinian army. After the loss of faith, the destructive power of the soldiers was terrifying.

Everywhere they go, they harm a place, and they do n’t wait for the government to mobilize the masses, and they pull the hatred to full value.

Without comparison, there is no harm. Ordinary people suddenly find that the days under the rule of the Sardinian kingdom are not as good as the period of the Austrian government.

At least the decaying Austrian government has established a social order. Despite being oppressed by the government, nobles, and capitalists, the social order is generally stable, and everyone ’s days can be managed.

However, after the Kingdom of Sardinia came, there were successive wars. The high war tax was even more severe than the Austrian government. The oppression of the nobles and capitalists was still harassed by the chaotic soldiers.

On June 1, a bread tragedy broke out in Milan city. In order to survive, Milan workers besieged the bakery, which led to the bloody suppression of the Sardinian army. Hundreds of people were killed on the spot.

On June 3, a peasant uprising broke out in Pavia. The uprising army once grew to more than three thousand people, and it also flagrantly greeted the Austrian army.

...

The Sardinian government envisaged that the People's War did not hit Austria, and they themselves fell into the turmoil of the People's War.

It was too easy to get the Lombardy area. Apart from the cleansing of a group of Republicans, the Sardinian government did not make much effort, and now the aftermath broke out.

Austria has ruled here for so many years, how could there be no supporters?

If the Kingdom of Sardinia has always been strong, the loyalty of these people is estimated to be greatly reduced, but now that Austria clearly has the advantage, they naturally can't help it.

Coupled with a large group of speculators who wanted to change jobs, the revolutionary movement of workers and peasants in Lombardy started like a fire. Marshal Bardolio could only fight against the Austrians on one side and send people to put out fires everywhere.

Before the reinforcements of the Kingdom of Sardinia arrived, the Austrian army approached Milan.

In just a few days, Marshal Bardolio seemed to be twenty years old, and at this time he had regrets left.

I already knew that he would come to the present stage, and he would not be greedy for this credit.By now he had seen it. Marshal Radsky gave up Lombardy simply to lure the enemy deeper.

It is a pity that they were all deceived by political propaganda, wishful thinking that the Austrian Empire has decayed, and their troops are vulnerable.

"Marshal, the enemy is already in Milan. Order the retreat!" Lieutenant General Messer said anxiously

"Retreat? Where else can we retreat?" Bardolio sneered.

Looking at the general in front of him who made him make the wrong decision, Bardolio couldn't wait to kill him directly.

But this is just the previous idea. Now his heart is dead. As the highest commander of this military operation, he must be responsible for the defeat of this war.

Badorio couldn't stand the pain of being infamous. He would rather die on the battlefield than go back to be tried in the military court.

"Of course, I'm going back to my country. The city of Milan can't be guaranteed. Most of the Lombardy region can't be kept. The Austrians won't give up. We have to fight the local defense.

At this time, we must preserve our strength as much as possible, otherwise who will protect the Kingdom of Sardinia?"Lieutenant General Messi said

Bardolio shook his head and said, "Because we need to preserve our strength as much as possible, we can't retreat. If we don't contain Austria's main force, will other troops withdraw?"

We run in the front, the enemy chases in the back, do you think we can run back to the kingdom of Sardinia, how many soldiers can we still have?

Moreover, the domestic defense battle also requires time to prepare at home, we must pin down the enemy in the city of Milan, and give the country time!"

At this time, he had put aside his personal life and death. Out of the responsibility of a soldier, he was ready to fight for the kingdom of Sardinia.

If it is said that the two sides of the Venice battle still fought hard, the Lombard defense was defeated too fast, and the Austrian army was completely swept away in the autumn wind.

Originally, Bardolio believed that with the help of the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands and relying on positional construction, it could take two or three months to get anyway.

For such a long time, the Kingdom of Sardinia has completed another national mobilization.Fighting in the local area, with the support of the people, there is a chance that there will be a fight.

It is a pity that the Sardinian army has been wiped out of its soul. Even if the number of such troops is too large, Bardolio has to hope for the defense of Milan.

After all, the Hungarian Republic relied on Budapest and resisted the Austrian army for more than a month. So far, they have not fallen, and there is no reason why they cannot do it.

Bardolio wanted to defend the city of Milan, but King Charles-Albert did not agree, and the army of the Sardinian kingdom was put into this war. If the whole army was annihilated, then the kingdom of Sardinia would be over.

In the end, Bardolio made a decision, leaving 10,000 troops to stay in Milan after the break, to buy time for the retreat of the army.

...

On June 10th, the Sardinian army fought hard for two days and nights, but in the end it did not block the Austrian soldiers.With the cooperation of the people in the city, Milan City returned to Austria again.

During the fall of Milan, Marshal Bardolio committed suicide by drinking bullets in the Doge ’s Palace, preserving his last dignity as a soldier.

On June 12, the Austrian army recaptured the Lombardy region, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Kingdom of Sardinia. The Osage War entered a new stage.

The rapid defeat of Lombard's defense made the Sardinian government stunned. They did not expect to lose so quickly.

After all, Field Marshal Radkis, with less than one hundred thousand troops, relied on positions to block the attack of 200,000 Sardinian troops.

In their view, the Sardinian army still has 120,000 or 30,000 troops in the Lombardy region, which is almost the same as the Austrian attacking force. Even if the combat power is a little worse, as the defensive party can also pass the geographical advantage make up.

Charlie Albert asked anxiously: "Li Qi, how many troops have we withdrawn from the front, can we block the enemy's attack?"

Army Secretary Li Qi replied with a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, a total of 70,000 troops have been withdrawn. We once again mobilized 150,000 troops in the country. However, these people mobilized in the later period have not undergone regular training, and their combat effectiveness is afraid ..."
