The Prussian nation was not born to be rigorous and orderly, nor were they a cold machine since ancient times. The national character they have been constantly promoting in later generations is actually only acquired.
In Xiao Letian's previous life, although the Germans were still labeled as rigorous and stubborn, this label has slowly faded in the eyes of the world.
After all, Prussia is only a part of Germany, and there are many other states in the German nation. However, those states have not experienced rigorous national military training, and their national character is completely different from that of Prussia.
In fact, in the eyes of historians, the Kingdom of Prussia evolved from a branch of the Teutonic Knights. Those knights who were loyal to God have made contributions in the Crusades more than once, and the knights as a group It is inherently emotional.
To put it more bluntly, the current rigor of the Prussian nation is just a result of the king's hundreds of years of training with iron blood and big sticks. However, there are still many traditions inherent in the medieval knight class in the genes flowing in people's blood.
For example, glory, dignity, sacrifice, dedication...well, of course there are also impulses that Xiao Letian likes.
Yes, people sometimes need to be impulsive, leaving all reason behind and letting their emotions dominate everything. Who by nature loves to be a cold and heartless part.
When Xiao Letian led his brothers to march towards the West, the first ones who couldn't sit still were the three living treasures Steven, Daniel and Grant. These three people who grew up together really don't look like a Prussian. People, they were hit like three big firecrackers.
"Oh God, I never thought that I would be ridiculed by the Chinese in my lifetime. They can risk their lives. Are we all cowards? I don't care, I want to join the war..." After saying this, Steven was the first He jumped out of the queue and rushed towards the rapidly marching Zhongguan regiment.
"Stephen! Get back here, you are acting without permission. Aren't you afraid of military law?" Before the Prussian officer could finish shouting, two more figures rushed out of the team.
"Steven, wait a minute... the Chinese are right. Since we put on this military uniform, we should no longer imagine dying on the hospital bed. A group of strangers can sacrifice their lives for Prussia. If we don't join Will he still be considered a Prussian soldier if he goes in?"
It was Daniel and Grant who spoke. The dispatch of the three living treasures was so serious that the Prussian soldiers who were already at the point of emotional explosion could not sit still. A torrent followed Xiao Letian's figure and rushed straight away.
People's hearts are made of flesh, and a group of foreigners can risk their lives. If they, the Prussian soldiers, remain unmoved, I am afraid they will live in self-condemnation for the rest of their lives.
The Prussian officers were dumbfounded. There was no concept of soldier disobedience in their dictionary. But today was so evil. Why did these calm and rational young men all go crazy when they met Xiao Letian.
"What should we do? The soldiers have all run away, and we are going to be sent to a military court..."
"What else can we do? It would be better to die in battle than to be shot. Let's rush together..."
At this point, these officers had no choice. They couldn't just run back to the headquarters and report to Old Moltke that the soldiers had been encouraged by Xiao Letian to leave.
At this time, Xiao Letian, who was riding on the horse, was so happy. He didn't need to look back and just listened to the footsteps behind him to know that he had succeeded. It seemed that the Prussian was still very sullen under his strict appearance.
The running Prussian soldiers soon caught up with the officer corps. Steven's loud voice was the first to shout, "Soldier Steven of the Hamburg Recruitment Battalion, please return to the army..." Behind his voice were countless Prussian soldiers. shouts.
"Daniel requests to return to the team... Grant requests to return to the team... requests to return to the team..."
Xiao Hexin and the others looked at Xiao Letian for consultation. In exchange for a slight nod from the commander, the New Army officers who received the order yelled, "You brats, I didn't train you in vain. According to the original organization, we will immediately Return to the team..."
Torrents began to gather together, and the platoon company began to return to its organizational structure. In less than ten minutes, the original two special mixed battalions were once again marching on the path, as long as an earth dragon.
Luo Huo's cavalry was the first to return. They did not dare to waste any time and urged their horses to go straight to the west. Their mission was to bring the latest military information to Prince Karl.
Jonas and Leo had special status. Of course they had horses to ride, and soon they rushed to Xiao Letian's side. Jonas said angrily, "Mr. Xiao, you are wrong to do this. You caught the patriotic enthusiasm of these young men and encouraged them. It is very immoral for you to do so..."
"Shit! It's just nonsense... What is immorality? Is it moral to let them go back the way they came, to let them watch the battle fail, and to let them live in self-condemnation for the rest of their lives? What bothers you the most is the inhumanity of you Prussians. I have a sense of order...if I want to follow you, I will follow you; if I don't like you, just leave..."
After saying that, Xiao Letian urged his horse to run forward without paying any attention to Jonas, whose face was red. At this time, Leo patted him on the shoulder, "Jonas, you have already met the Prime Minister in China. Ordinarily you should know him better than me? But now I realize that you haven't understood it at all until now." What kind of person is he..."
"Haha, when I took a photo of him with a bayonet inserted into his flesh on the French-Swiss border, I already knew that this is what a Chinese calls a 'hero'. This is a real 'hero'. We can follow such a person in our lives." Isn't it worthy of being a big man?"
Leo is a man of letters at heart, and his heart is filled with all kinds of yearning for heroism. He chases Xiao Letian without any psychological burden. Jonas who choked on those few words just rolled his eyes, but after thinking about it, If you go to Jonas, you can only follow.
The special mixed battalion finally restored the order that Xiao Letian wanted, and marched towards Shiqiao Highlands with indomitable momentum. However, what everyone did not expect was that just to the south of their march, there was an army of 10,000 people. The reorganized division is marching rapidly northwest, and their target is also Shiqiao Highlands.
"Accelerate, accelerate, we are the most elite first group under the Thorn Flower Master, we must win the first victory... The king has prepared a large reward for you, and Vienna has prepared the most sumptuous banquet and the top class for you. The band... we just want the first success, we just want victory..."
In the rolling torrent, a young regiment leader was sitting on a war horse and motivating the soldiers. If Xiao Letian were here, he would have lamented that it was not enemies who did not get together. It turned out that the leader of the first regiment was actually Viscount Alan.
That's right, it was Viscount Alan who attacked Xiao Letian in the Hamburg Garden. After that conflict, Alan rolled back to Austria in despair.
However, Viscount Alan is not an ordinary dandy nobleman. The fact that this boy can become an envoy to Hamburg shows that he is a member of the empire's top brass. Many people even say that Alan has had affairs with many noble ladies, which is also true. It was the nepotism of women that allowed him to successfully squeeze into the establishment of the Thorn Flower Master.
The title of Thorn Flower Master was not conferred by the emperor, but a nickname spontaneously created by the military and civilians. This is not a compliment. The meaning of thorn flowers is that many people in this army are flowers with thorns, which ordinary people cannot afford to offend.
Who are the flowers? Of course he was the son of a dandy noble like Alan. In the European armies at that time, senior officers were generally held by nobles with titles, and the nobles were also mixed.
Bismarck was a noble, Old Moltke was also a noble, and the two Princes Karl were even more nobles, but they were promising and elite nobles, nobles who could lead the rejuvenation of the nation.
The Thorn Flower Camp is completely different. More than 80% of the officers here are embroidered pillows like Alan. They are good at fighting and jealousy, but if they are really allowed to fight hard and fiercely, no one will be relieved.
Why did General Benedek keep them in reserve? That's the truth.
If the Battle of Sadowa hadn't been too important, and if all the elite divisions hadn't already been assigned tasks, the General would never have sent out these young masters.
In this way, General Benedek did not dare to take it lightly. In his order, the Thorn Flower Camp only played a preventive role. Cutting off the connection between the Second Army and the main battlefield was the first priority. If he encountered Prince Karl's second Second Army Corps, just don't destroy the main transportation routes by fighting.
The general did not dare to take the risk of killing or injuring one or two of these noble young men. They were all here for gold plating, and the family connections behind them were unimaginably strong.
"These young soldiers, please don't let anything happen to you. Otherwise, even if I win this battle, I'm afraid I will be framed by villains. God bless me!"
Just when the general was praying secretly, he had no idea that on the road to the Prussian Second Army, the flames of war had been ignited by Lieutenant Commander Luo Huo. More than a hundred elite cavalry led by him had penetrated with a small group of Austrian troops. The troops took fire.
The cavalry led by Luo Huo had just crossed the stone bridge about five kilometers away when a burst of gunfire suddenly came from the woods on both sides. The first few cavalrymen fell off their horses as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer.
"Enemy attack! Prepare to fight..." Before the cavalry company commander beside Luo Huo finished giving the order, he was decisively interrupted by Luo Huo.
"No, we must not waste time. Let's rush over...smoke bombs to cover the battlefield..." At Luo Huo's order, more than a dozen burning bamboo tubes rolled and flew into the bushes, mixed with pepper and chili powder. The grenade made a muffled sound, followed by streams of white smoke.
"Cough, cough, cough...my eyes, I can't see anything clearly...the whole army will attack, block the road and they must not let them rush through..."
Amid the commotion, dozens of Austrian troops holding bayonets emerged from the woods directly in front of the road. These were carefully selected elite infiltration troops. They held sharp bayonets with guns in both hands and pointed them at the galloping cavalry. He rushed forward in fear.
"Hold these Prussians, long live the King! Long live the applied Austrian Army!"
"Long live the damn king..." Luo Huo said nothing and emptied all the bullets in the revolver in his hand. Then he drew out his saber and slashed hard at the Austrian soldier who was blocking the way. The head was cut off without even a scream.
"Rush, rush, don't be reluctant to fight, rush over quickly..." Under the leadership of Luo Huo, the cavalry company slammed into the weak infantry formation, causing countless enemy casualties and blood spatters.
The cavalry company smashed into the enemy's formation and did not dare to turn around. The horses' stomachs were dripping with blood as their spurs stabbed them. The pain-stricken horses squeezed out all their speed and headed towards the west.
In this charge, thirty people were killed by the Austrian army and fifteen by the Prussian army. On the surface, Luo Huo took advantage, but he knew very well in his heart that there could not be only this one wave of Austrian ambush, and there were twenty kilometers behind. I don’t know how many enemies are waiting along the way.
