C2711 A changed war!

War is no longer what it used to be!

During the secret meeting between Xiao Letian and his military officers before the war, Xiao Letian had said more than once that this Franco-Prussian War would completely change humanity's understanding of war.

In fact, the Franco-Prussian War is a key overshoot of the evolution of medieval war ideology into modern war ideology!

Although humans had entered the gunpowder age before the Franco-Prussian War, rifles, cannons, warships... The new weapon is widely used, but from the perspective of the war's structure, from the perspective of the ruler's strategic thinking!

The strategic thinking of the countries of the world before the Franco-Prussian War was still the same as before!

The war in the Middle Age was more like a battle between cavalry and the military conflict between nations. It was more like a war to resolve a conflict, not a life and death battle.

The human wars of that era were more or less simple and unsophisticated!

Soldiers and commoners were separated. Peasants and workers were taxed. The war did not have much to do with them!

War was only a war between nobles and knights. All armies were basically professional armies!

In that era, when war broke out between the two countries, it was rarely a matter of life and death. It was all for the sake of an agreement!

The combined forces of both sides rarely exceeded a hundred thousand. These professional soldier s used a short and violent war to determine the victor, and then split the profits according to the result of the war.

The border was changed in these wars, and the treaties were eventually kept in the Historical Archives!

As for the commoners? In those days when the people did not know what the nation was, when the Enlightenment had not even begun, who was to be paid the taxes of the people? They did not care what happened to the ruler above them!

This was the war of the Middle Age, a game played by the big figures, and the war between France and China had completely changed everything!

Because of the widespread popularization of national ideas, because of the unprecedented rise of national identity in various countries, this made the common people to have an acceptance of war.

Winning and losing was no longer a matter of taxing the owner. Winning and losing was already a matter of national life and death!

Under the influence of this emotion, the ruler could finally mobilize the entire army. They could finally get the farmers and workers who had been waiting for their deaths to join the war in a righteous rage!

In theory, this was a type of universal war!

It was precisely because of this that the concept of a large army existed in modern wars!

A legion with hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers was launching an attack on the enemy with a range of tens of kilometers. What a spectacular scene!

This was a terrifying scene that no one in the Middle Ages dared to imagine!

The Franco-Prussian War was an important period for the overthinking of these two kinds of wars, and Prussia went further and mobilized better than the France!

From five in the evening when the Foshan Mountain Pulse began its fierce battle, until 3: 30 in the morning, Prince Karl had already mobilized 70,000 people to attack the French army.

One hundred and twenty thousand men were fighting in shifts against seventy thousand men. He still had fifty thousand men left, drinking broth and gathering their strength for battle!

's forty thousand France Army were already exhausted, everyone had already thrown themselves into a bloody battle!

The war had gone on, the French had lost 10,000 men, and Prussia had lost twenty-five thousand men!

With so many people dead, if it was in the past, the commander would have considered ending the war. But now, Prince Karl was becoming braver as he fought.

"Continue to attack, let the reserve troops attack!"

"Saxon Region's Third Division and Fourth Division, prepare for battle! After the next round of cannons, let them launch their main attack! "

Prince Karl looked at the five lines of defense that had been broken, and laughed coldly, "McMahon... Don't think that just because you have the advantage that I can't do anything about it! "

"This time, I will show you what a future national war is like!"

"You all are a bunch of old antiques that should have been swept away long ago! The future era belongs to us! "

"Send my orders, inform the entire army, the battle will not stop, when the Foshan Mountain Pulse is captured, when they can rest!"

"The Empire needs victory!" Only victory is the only one! "

The orders of the Prince spread through the entire army, and people had long since forgotten their fatigue. Everyone was excited by the intensity of this battle. The two Heavy Infantry Division of the Saxon State were named, and all of their commanders came down to the front line to personally boost their morale!

"Soldiers of Saxony!" "Warriors of our homeland!"

"The fruits of our victory are right before our eyes. Let's go fight for the Empire!"

"All the military officers will stand by your side, and all the nobles will fight for the front line with you!"

"All our sufferings will erupt today! For the Empire! For the future of our children! "

"Good Prussian boys! "Fight to the end!"

The Heavy Infantry Regiment with over 20,000 members let out a thunderous roar, "Attack!" Long live the Empire! "

At 4: 10 PM, another twenty thousand Prussian s charged towards the exhausted French soldiers, shouting that they would win!

War! This was truly a place where the strength of the nation was put to good use, but there was no way to pull any tricks! Just as the two Regiments were about to begin their charge, a report came out from Prince Karl's headquarters.

"Sir!" Nineteen columns of troops have arrived from the north, bringing with them our reinforcements and artillery shells! "

"Oh? "Where are we?"

"Reporting to Your Highness! Hanover Legion and Fifth Division, a total of 24,000 people, had already arrived! Sir, please give the order to fight! "

Hahahaha... Prince Karl laughed towards the sky: "Reinforcements, our reinforcements! Another 24,000 reinforcements had arrived! Hanover's army is here too!

"Napoleon III! Do you know what modern railway network is now? Do you know what it means now? Now do you know what is called the Great War of Nations? "

"I have an inexhaustible supply of weapons! Do you? "

The domineering Prince Karl waved his hand, "Are my soldiers tired? Can they still fight after so long on the train? "

The two teachers who came to report had chests taller than a woman's breasts. They loudly replied, "Battle, we came here to fight!"

"If our brothers on the frontlines die, how can we avoid fighting because of a little fatigue? Hanover is not a coward! "

"Very good! Saxon's warriors are attacking the enemy's sixth line of defense, and their secret weapons have been mostly blown up by our cannons! "

"All of you, immediately support them. Attack the sixth line of defense and don't stay there any longer. Continue to attack the seventh line of defense!"

"Yes, sir!" The two division leaders turned around and left the headquarters. In just a short while, the shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers could be heard from the north!

McMahon had definitely lost this battle, Prussia was becoming more and more adult. In just a night's time, over twenty thousand soldiers and two hundred thousand artillery shells were delivered to the front lines.

Not only that, but there were also countless dispatchers on the railways at the back who were coordinating the transport, and even more lines were moving south, bringing countless living forces and supplies from the Prussian hinterland!

At 4: 20, reinforcements from the two Hanover divisions arrived. At 5: 30 PM, a division from Holstein State arrived at the battlefield. At 6: 10 PM, the Bavaria sent two more brigades of Mountain Infantry soldiers!

When the sun started to rise from the east, the number of troops that could fight under Prince Karl's command had miraculously increased to one hundred and sixty thousand!

After taking into account the 25,000 member battle loss, he still had more than 130,000 available troops!

McMahon finally cried!
