C355 Old Count's Weeping

One after another, the Austria soldiers jumped down from the trenches and started to fight with the special mix camp soldiers. The soldiers of the thornbush gardener were showing their fearless expressions, even if the rate of casualties were to reach seventy percent, they would still be fearless. The humiliation brought about by the two hundred deserters just now would be washed away by their own hands.

"Warriors of the Empire, battle …" Fighting them head on, as long as we can hold on for five minutes, the rest of the troops will be able to rush up to us, and victory will definitely be ours … "

"Long live... "F * ck …" Crack, crack, crack. Just as those hot-blooded Austrian Army s rushed to the edge of the trench, they found out that they were tricked, and that they had been tricked in a big way.

"You all are too shameless …" Countless Austrian Army s dropped down while shouting this slogan, one after another, they fell into the muddy water like dogs gnawing on mud.

Despicable, this group of Prussian army s were actually so despicable, they actually dug a trench more than two metres deep in the Shiqiao uplands.

This kind of trench that was even wider than before, should be used as a wooden shelf to build a shooting platform. Soldiers who walk in the mud can straighten their back without being afraid of the enemy's bullets, and once they meet an enemy's attack, the soldiers would stand on the shelves with half of their heads sticking out, and begin to shoot.

Although the special mix camp didn't have the time to build so many wooden shelves today, they could set up a mud platform on the side of the trench towards the outside. It wouldn't need to be 30 cm tall, and if they met with gunfire, they could just sit on the platform and avoid being hit.

Such a design would only appear in the real history of the First World War after fifty years. This was the infantry 'best defense before the appearance of the rapid mechanization war.

Using the experience of surpassing time to oppress others, sometimes it was just that dull and refreshing.

If a two metre deep pit was prepared, even if they jumped in, they might not be injured. But the most important thing was that no one knew how deep this trench was. As for the Prussian army who was waiting for them, they would take out their bayonets and use them as long daggers, and stab the Austrian Army in the mud to death one by one like they were slaughtering rabbits.

"F * ck, you want to fight us in melee?" Go to hell... Brothers, increase your speed and don't waste any time. The third wave of enemy troops will arrive soon … Damn, don't you know how to use Engineer's spade when your bayonet is bent? This thing is even more useful than a bayonet … "

In less than five minutes, the hundreds of Austrian Army s who had rushed up for the fight had turned into ice-cold corpses in the muddy water. At this time, the third wave of Austrian Army's charge had already reached a distance of fifty meters from the trench, and the snow-white bayonet forest was once again aimed at the muzzle of special mix camp's gun.

"Free shooting... Fire! "Get rid of them …" The bayoneted bayonet was once again aimed at the advancing enemy, and the terrifying sound of a Mauser shooting rang out once more.

At this time, at the rear of the Austrian Army, the temporary headquarters that the Old Count was at had already erupted into an uproar. Countless Battalion Leaders had gathered here, strongly protesting against this irresponsible suicide.

"Sir, please withdraw this order!" How could a war be fought like this? The Prussian was hidden deep in the trenches, and with the speed of the advanced rifles, wasn't this just a one-sided massacre? Do you want to use our soldiers' lives to deplete the enemy's bullets? "

"We should kill even the Empire's intelligence officer! What kind of terrifying rifle was this? What are his parameters? How much base ammunition did the enemy bring with them? "We don't know any of this. Just how are we going to fight this war …"

"My beloved Lord Count! "Please give the order for the third wave of brothers to retreat. Let our artillery fight for a few more rounds. We can only rely on the artillery …"

The surrounding officers shouted at the same time, causing Ta Bulisibojue's head to be in a state of chaos. In the end, she could no longer hold back and roared loudly.

"Shut up, all of you shut up! What do you know, artillery? Do you know how many artillery shells we have? Did you know that we will be facing Prince Karl's army of 120 thousand later? "

"Without the artillery's support, please tell me, how do we delay them for an hour? "Whoever has a good plan, I'll immediately give it up …"

Old Count's roar stunned all the officers present. All of their faces were as aggrieved as if they were constipated. Old Count let out a long sigh, "You have really stayed in the Vienna for too long. Sacrifice? "Don't be a soldier if you're afraid to sacrifice yourself …"

"Look at these Prussian. Although they have caused great casualties for us, you should at least learn something new from them …" Think about it. Can't we borrow such a trench? If Prince Karl's Second Corps were to rush forward, our thornbush gardener would also have a similar defense system … "

Speaking of which, all the officers were enlightened, and in their minds, they imagined how Prussian army would be swept down one by one in front of the trench.

Old Count clenched his fist and pointed towards the battlefield, "No matter how big the sacrifice, even if we have to use our lives to fill it up, we have to occupy this plateau. All of you have to remember, this is a war of national fortunes, if we lose, our Austria will completely withdraw from the competition and become a second or even third rate country in Europe …"

Saying that, Old Count suddenly sighed, as though he was afraid that the soldiers around him would hear it, he quietly said, "Everyone, think about it, we can lose to anyone, but we can't lose to these Chinese!"

The Chinese word sobered the officers. That's right, it would not be too embarrassing if he lost to the Prussian. If he lost to the Chinese, the entire thornbush gardener would become the laughingstock of Europe.

The officer with a flushed face saluted towards Old Count, turned his head and rushed out to gather the troops. Everyone was filled with anger, waiting to vent it on the group of Chinese. But at this time, they suddenly heard a clamor on the battlefield. They looked over and saw that the third wave of soldiers had retreated.

More than a thousand scattered soldiers charged, the battle force reduced to 60% yet they could no longer hold on, not only was the military officers leading this wave of soldiers far less courageous than the two groups of military officers from before, when the heads of the soldiers beside him splashed all over his face, this little noble of Austria, could no longer hold on, he cried out and ran.

Ever since ancient times, war had always been fought by soldiers. When the soldiers saw that their leader had fled, even if they didn't run now, they would still have to wait. The lives of commoners were also their lives.

The four or five hundred routed soldiers covered the entire charging position, even dispersing the fourth wave of scattered soldiers behind them. Behind them, the soldiers of the special mix camp were celebrating. Everyone pointed their middle fingers at the defeated soldiers.

"Scram, grandson. Grandfather, I can't even be bothered to waste bullets on you. Go home and drink some milk, hahaha …"

"It's Huai Te! It's the drunkard Huai Te … This bastard is too shameless, you are the shame of the Empire! " A group of officers outside the headquarters shouted angrily. Not long after, a group of guard company soldiers rushed out of the headquarters and rushed towards the fleeing people.

Not long after, Battalion Commander Huai Te was tied up, and the guards did not even bother to kick his knees, causing the young Vienna Baron to kneel in the mud.

"Shameless!" Do you still have the dignity of a noble? "You actually dare to lead the way and become a deserter …" The furious Old Count rushed out and whipped his horse.

"Hedonist, you're just a hoodlum!" How can the fate of the Empire be entrusted to you? Me, Me, Me... I'm going to shoot you! " The veins on Old Count's head throbbed, he took out his gun and was about to open fire.

Seeing that, the brigade commander Peng Ka was so shocked that he immediately rushed over, holding onto the Count's gun, snatching it away. "Sir, please calm down, Lord Count, please calm down … He could not be killed, Huai Te, you can do whatever you want to me, but you cannot kill me! "For the sake of the king, don't shoot …"

Peng Ka kept blinking his eyes at the Old Count, and it was only then that the Old Count remembered the rumors in the circle of nobility that this Huai Te had an extremely beautiful sister, and that he was a well-known courtesan in Europe.

If the Old Count dared to kill Huai Te today, then it could be imagined how all the men under that courtesan's skirt would be like a pack of perverts … Oh, no, no, it should be a group of hungry wolves pouncing towards Old Count. At that time, the Count's entire family would suffer from retribution.

Old Count did not say anything. He turned around and sneaked into the tent, but no one noticed that the corners of his eyes were filled with tears.

At this time, brigade commander Peng Ka, with a wave of his hand, dismissed the regiment officers and walked into the tent alone. He used his back to block the door of the tent, he knew that he could not let the soldiers see his appearance, it was too disheartening.

Old Count sat on the horse, his hands covering his face as he sobbed softly, "I've done enough, I've already done enough, I know that God is punishing me by letting me get involved with the thornbush gardener, in these past ten years, other than wiping your butt, what else have I done?"

"thornbush gardener? In the eyes of the citizens of Vienna, the Thorny Flower meant a bunch of foppish lords. This is not good news at all, this is insulting to us! "

"Is the hidden Ah Lan and this Huai Te the future of the empire?" When he said till here, the Old Count's face changed, and he actually said some ruthless words.

"No wonder in the French Revolution, the people wanted to abolish the politics of the noble families. If it were only the aristocrats like them, I think they would have abolished it too …"

Peng Ka was so frightened that his face turned white. He rushed over to cover the Count's mouth and said in a low voice, "My God, my dearest Count, how can you say such words? If word of this gets out, the king will strip you of all your titles and hang you... "

"Don't worry, I will personally lead the charge. I will personally seize this high ground for you!"

Old Count finally regained his composure at this point. He shook his head and said, "No, no. "Let the artillery go, and let them do a few more rounds to cheer our children on!"
