The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 755 The Belated Enemy Army

"Perhaps we should consider surrendering."

Dembowski, who had previously advocated the death of the fish, said weakly, and soon Tisovsky answered him in an even weaker tone.

"No, that Hainau is a lunatic."

"How did he say?"

"He said we could be shot if we surrendered."

Hearing this, Dembowski asked with some doubts: "Then why don't we surrender?"

"He'll hang us."

"Does that make any difference?"

"Yes, he said that being shot is an honorable death, but being hanged is a thief and a hooligan."

"He's pretty thoughtful."

The two were relatively speechless. The lofty ambition to revive Poland had disappeared, leaving only exhaustion and resentment.

Since when did it go downhill?Perhaps this uprising was doomed from the start.
At this time, some cavalry rushed back and shouted excitedly.

"It's here! It's here! Our destination has arrived!"

"Great!"

"Long live!"

"Victory!"

"Haha! I'm going to drink up all their wine when we get to Dorobichi!"

"I'm going to hit ten tonight!"

"Ha ha!"

The big soldiers shouted excitedly, thinking about the victory.The officers couldn't be happier, because tough battles were hard to fight, especially if there were no heavy weapons, and that would be killing people.

Originally, I wanted to conscript some peasants from the villages and towns along the way, but those damned guys were so ghostly and ghostly, they had already disappeared without a trace.

In fact, even with heavy weapons, it is not uncommon to attack fortified positions for dozens of days, or even months.

At this time, after the hot blood on the head dissipated, all that was left was anxiety, but the officers dared not show it, because any of their emotions would be infinitely magnified among the soldiers.

And once these militiamen start to flee, they will be as unstoppable as a flood, and of course they may be as immobile as frightened sheep.

No matter what happens, it will declare the complete end of this war
The expected destruction and rebellion did not happen, which made Colonel Monta feel very boring.Although he is only a regimental commander, the force under his command is no less than that of a brigade commander, and he doesn't pay much attention to ordinary generals.

But Colonel Monta's goal is not a small general, he wants to be the Marshal of the Empire.Although they had participated in some battles before, they were just small fights and there were no spectators.

But this time it was different, Archduke Franz was in this manor. Although he didn't know why the Archduke took the risk himself, it was a good opportunity for him and the entire Royal Dragoons.

So the more enemies in this battle, the better, and the more intense the better, as long as the "audience" can be satisfied, their future is guaranteed.

Colonel Monta regretted looking at those non-combatants, while those "followers" who were domineering and domineering on weekdays felt chills down their spines.

In fact, as soon as he found out about the enemy Vikhliu Yasuski's housekeeper, he offered to help, but Colonel Monta didn't trust this group of guys. .

Vikhliu Yasuski was a little depressed, why didn't Celestina come back, are the two still together?How nasty!

Franz set up two modified telescopes in the attic on the top floor. Although it looks exaggerated, the actual magnification is only eight times.

However, this is also the most advanced military telescope at this time, and it is expensive.Therefore, Franz's sniper plan is very difficult to implement, and now it is still mainly based on double mirrors and triple mirrors.

In fact, in addition to double mirrors and triple mirrors, the Austrian military also has a bunch of 1.5x mirrors and 2.5x mirrors that cut corners.

At the beginning, Franz let Doppler lead the team to conduct research freely, and as a result, he came up with the kind of ultra-long sight that appeared during the American Civil War.

This kind of ultra-long sight is not only expensive, but also has worrying accuracy. What is terrible is that it is inconvenient to carry and even more difficult to maintain.

The material problem of the early lens made it very fragile, and it would be damaged if you were not careful, or the lens would be scratched.

(I'll add a picture here later.)
Fortunately, Franz invited Carl Zeiss over, which greatly accelerated the development process. Since Carl Zeiss came to Austria when he was a university student, his knowledge level at this time was much higher than that of the same period in history.

At the same time, Franz also made a contribution. He directly drew a schematic diagram of a modern sniper scope to the development department.

This led to a leap forward in the entire research progress, and soon the first batch of sniper scopes with practical significance were developed under the auspices of this young expert who was only 30 years old.

The rest is to reduce the cost and start promotion, but large-scale promotion is not realistic, because the mirror technology is not mature enough at this time, at least it is impossible to realize the large-scale equipment of sniper mirrors in the army before World War II.

In the attic, Colonel Bordeaux, Miss Mia, and Lakshmi Payi were also there, and of course the bound Miss Celestina was also included.

"A lot of people, Grand Duke Franz, why don't you run away?"

Lakshmi Payi asked inappropriately.

Franz did not give a direct answer, but asked with some doubts.

"Why are there so few people?"

Bordeaux replied happily.

"Those Poles are just a mob. Being able to come here proves that there are still some officers in there. But with this kind of scattered formation, I'm afraid they will get separated before the fight starts."

Mia Artius was a little nervous. It was okay not to look at the telescope, but she was a little scared when she looked at the telescope.

"Grand Duke Franz, you don't need to supervise the battle here yourself, do you?"

She sorted out the wording, after all, the word "death" is really disrespectful, but she really couldn't understand the meaning of doing so.

Supervising the war, this word is also a bit awkward, but Franz didn't specifically correct it, just said.

"I just want to adapt myself to this scene in advance, after all, there will be many such scenes in the future."

On the battlefield, Polish officers waved their command knives and drove the top soldiers into a queue.This is not because line tactics can increase firepower, or because they are suitable for sieges.

There is only one reason, and it is convenient to find out the supervision and management.As long as the platoon leader of each platoon turns his head, he can see who has not followed and how many troops he has.

If you don't advance in a queue, it won't take long for the entire team to disperse.Moreover, the morale of the militia is too low, and it is difficult for officers to carry out offensive operations without supervising the battle from behind.

The best thing about line tactics for the enemy is that it is easy to see the strength of the opponent.

"Only more than 2000 people?" Colonel Monta was so angry that he chopped down a small tree with a knife.

The adjutant asked: "Commander, do we still have to carry out the order to stick to it?"

"Fart! Of course you stick to it, and you don't look at who gave the order."

So a defensive battle of 3000 people against 2000 people began. In fact, Albrecht in the distance was even more angry, because he still had more than 1 elite troops ready to respond at any time.
