C372 Incredible Message

Prince Karl had never been so conflicted in his life before. When he and Luo Huo had their violent argument, he had been sulking all the way but for some reason, this group of Chinese people made his patience and nobility disappear. They were just like his enemies from his previous life.

Prince Karl was very conflicted. He rode his horse silently and for the rest of the time, he remained silent, except for a few words from the officer when he asked for his report.

The location of the Shiqiao uplands, his own map of the surrounding mountains and rivers, and even the direction of the advancing army didn't need to be seen. These basic military data had long ago been imprinted into his mind.

There was no need to ask any of these questions. Even if the ordinary Queue length s could understand the situation, how could it be hidden from him?

From the perspective of the entire battle, Prince Karl obviously knew the importance of Xiao Letian's decision. As long as he could firmly defend the Shiqiao uplands and endure the battle, then the Second Regiment would be able to quickly defeat the famous noble army by relying on the power of the vanguard cavalry.

She was afraid that Xiao Letian would not be able to withstand the pressure and retreat early or just directly go as she said, she did not set up any defenses on the high ground. If this really happened, it would be a big problem for the Second Regiment.

A Heavy Infantry Division would also bring a cannon troop and rely on their advantage to block the attack. Even if the Second Regiment had more people, they would still need to have a good set of teeth in order to eat this iron lump.

Prince Karl and his team of staff officers had simulated this three times and the results were not optimistic. There were too many thornbush gardener and they did not dare guarantee that they wouldn't have any problems delaying this one hour.

What did an hour mean? One had to know that there were more than 200,000 people hanging together in the Sardaua region. How many people would die in an hour? How many variables would there be in the battle? Perhaps this hour was the key to determining the outcome of the battle.

In Prince Karl's heart, he longed for Xiao Letian to do as Luo Huo said, to be stuck like a nail in the Shiqiao uplands, to not ask for their big gains. As long as they could stay there and interfere with the formation of the thornbush gardener, it would be enough as long as they were unable to go all out against it.

However, Prince Karl knew very clearly that with the strength of two battalions of over 700, even a fool would be able to guess the outcome when faced with thornbush gardener with a strength of 12,000. That was why Prince Karl would never believe the nonsense that Luo Huo was spouting. Furthermore, these Chinese people had insulted him before, so he had already drawn them into the list of villains in his mind.

As for vile people, they didn't know what sacrifice was.

The army of the Second Regiment was marching silently in the fields. From the vanguard cavalry who was opening the path to the infantry at the back of the hall, the entire army formation stretched for more than ten miles. This way, no one could use their eyes to observe the progress of the entire army.

By this time the command of the army was heavily dependent on the speed of the cavalry. With Prince Karl at the center, the two sides of the army were filled with messengers running back and forth. The big hooves of the horses splashed up large chunks of soil in the wilderness, the big Arabian horses spat out white foam, and used the last of their strength to rush forward.

"Reporting, sir..." The forward movement has already proceeded 15 kilometers, and is only 5 kilometers away from the Shiqiao uplands … "

"Reporting to the Lord Commander, the rear guard troops have received supplies. Here is the list of supplies …"

"Reporting, sir..." "There was an accident in the 6th Artillery Regiment, the violent shaking caused 200 kilograms of gunpowder to leak out, luckily no explosion occurred …"

commanding an entire army was never a simple task, the staff committee who was busy at Karl's side knew that even if a hundred and twenty thousand people sneezed at the same time, in the eyes of these officers, it would still be a big deal. The entire army's doctors would probably be busy for the whole day.

Just as the army was getting closer and closer to the Shiqiao uplands, in the middle of the troops galloping back and forth, a pitch-black horse came madly rushing towards them from the east.

The expression of the rider on horseback was as weird as one could imagine. Looking at him, it seemed as if he had just been blessed by God. His face was full of disbelief.

The Prussian, especially the Prussian army, were the people they worshipped the most. To them, the greatest test was when Mount Tai collapsed without changing its expression.

Looking at the silent infantry and the serious face of the cavalry, he was quite eye-catching. Everyone looked at him again.

"Report... Report Officer... Pioneer... The master of the vanguard cavalry sent it over … "Send over emergency intelligence report …"

"What does it look like? What was there to kowtow about!? "Pay attention to your military bearing …" Without waiting for the prince to speak, the staff officer beside him angrily berated him.

"Yes …" Yes, sir... The vanguard cavalry division has already rushed to Shiqiao uplands, and there has been a battle between them … " As the sweating messenger spoke, he pulled out his military intelligence sheet.

When the chief of staff heard that it was from the Shiqiao uplands, he did not dare delay and immediately snatched the military information from him. This was an urgent military message written by the forward captain on horseback, written in the scrawl. As soon as the Chief of Staff saw the light, he could not move his eyes away anymore. He even started reading softly.

"At 11: 55, the lead cavalry unit rushed to the west side of Shiqiao uplands. Smoke and dust rose from the Shiqiao uplands as the sounds of killing echoed. The flag of the special mix camp and the flag of the Eastern Army, which they had never seen before, stood tall and upright on the ground. The tens of thousands of Austrian Army soldiers outside the plateau were in chaos... "

"Soldiers are charging towards the high ground, while soldiers are quietly fleeing towards the south, and soldiers are setting explosives on the stone bridge in an attempt to blow up the bridge …" "My division launched an emergency charge and immediately entered the battle. After the stone bridge was protected, the brutality of the battle could not be imagined …"

The Chief of Staff's hands trembled as he recited the incantation. He had just scolded the messenger, but he ended up stuttering himself.

"Special... special mix camp... On... Under Xiao Letian's command... Unexpectedly … It actually defended the high ground! "

As soon as he said it, the crowd went into an uproar. "What?" Everyone shouted loudly, their eyes staring at the cavalry soldier in disbelief.

Only now did the messenger regain his senses. He took a few deep breaths and reported, "Reporting to the officers!" The Shiqiao uplands did not lose them, the flags of the Prussian army were still flying, the Chinese and the Hamburg recruit used strange trenches to stop the enemy's attack. When the began to attack, they also defeated a group of charging enemies. They are chasing after the defeated soldiers of the Austrian Army across the mountains and plains! "

Hearing that, Prince Karl bellowed, "Where's that Chinese officer? Where's Luo Huo? Bring him up at once... We, we have to apologize to him in person! "

Prince Karl flushed red. He couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment, but he felt ashamed, and also happy, as if he had just lost a bottle of mixed emotions.

Not long after, two cavalry guards who were guarding Luo Huo hurried over to protect a few Chinese officer s. When Luo Huo looked up and saw Prince Karl's wonderful expression, he could guess what it was.

"Did my master get news?" Say something, is there news... Is the Shiqiao uplands still around? Is my master safe? " Luo Huo spurred his horse and rushed forward, but the two burly Nordic riders were unable to stop him.

"Calm down!" "Mr Luo, please calm down …" "First of all, please accept my apologies. This time, my judgement is wrong …" The Shiqiao uplands is still here, your Prime Minister is still here! "

"AHH!" Hahaha … I already said, our master is invincible, we are stepping on a miracle to come! "You guys don't believe it, you guys don't believe it …" The ecstatic Luo Huo almost fell off the horse.

However, Prince Karl's next sentence caused his face to turn pale, "Mr. Luo, the two cavalry companies guarding you will temporarily be under your command …" You should hurry to Shiqiao uplands to take a look … Casualties! The casualties were too great... "Go and meet your comrades for the last time …"

With these words, Luo Huo felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The ominous premonition in his heart started to churn once again.

"Master, I, Luo Huo, am here … Wuu, you bunch of bastards want to imprison me, why don't you let me return to the battlefield first … "Wuwuwu, even if I have to die, I want to die together with my brothers …"

Luo Huo, who was in tears, slapped his horse and dashed forward. The Prussian cavalry guards who were imprisoning them a moment ago had now become his subordinates. Amidst the wild wind, Luo Huo's cries that were close to that of a wolf's could be heard.

Prince Karl's eyes suddenly grew hot and his heart ached, "What are you standing there for! Army Speed... The other Chinese are already risking their lives, but we, the Prussian, are still not willing to give our all in our own war? "

"Pass my orders, all the troops are on their own. There is no need to consider formation, as long as I hurry to Sada as fast as possible and arrive at the battlefield before the Austrian attacks, the entire Second Corps will be on my way …"

At the prince's command, the entire legion began to disintegrate in the wilderness. Previously, when the army was moving forward, they were still considering the coordination of infantry and artillery, as well as the use of cavalry to protect the two wings of the battlefield. But now, everyone had given up on their original formations.

cavalry regiment was the first to leave the main group, sprinting towards the east like a horse, the heavy supplies abandoned by the infantry regiment only started to speed up, carrying the most basic ammunition bases. Even the faltering artillery corps had given up on a portion of the ammunition base, as they gathered up and used their horses, pulling the field gun along as they chased after the main group.

A distance of five kilometers was nothing to the cavalrymen. With the protection of his staff officers and with the protection of the imperial guards, they quickly saw the flowing river and the still intact ancient stone bridge.

When their gazes landed on the other side of the river, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Although they had imagined countless battles in their hearts, they were all still dumbstruck when they saw them with their own eyes.

At this time, the thornbush gardener had long since disappeared from sight. Looking around, one could only see a thin black line on the southern horizon. It was the back of the fleeing Austrian Army's army.

North of him, countless Prussian cavalry were chasing after him. From time to time, a group of exhausted Austrian Army would squat on the ground, hands on their heads, giving up on resisting and becoming prisoners.

Looking back at the high ground, they could no longer see the face of the highland. All the trees, shrubs and grass had been destroyed by the gunfire. The highland was covered with scorched earth and craters filled with bullet holes.

The closer they got to the trench, the more corpses they found. When they reached the edge of the third trench, Prince Karl discovered that the corpses had piled up like a mountain. The two meter deep trench was practically filled up.

"Hiss!" What kind of cruel war was this? Was it Death who started his meat grinder? "
