Mu Zhan met Sabusu, who reported his experience in detail.
Exaggerating the power of the barbarian flying evil objects will help explain the reasons for his defeat in the battle.
In fact, this is what happened. Everyone under the command suffered the same fate, and no one was any better than anyone else.
Mu Zhan angrily rebuked this and wanted to give Sabusu a few severe whips, but this would not solve the current difficulty at all.
Considering that our troops still carry hundreds of thousands of prisoners and livestock, it is impossible to compete with the barbarians whose strength is close to that of the king's division.
For the current plan, we can only take a shortcut and go to the nearby Ottoman-controlled area first.
When we get there, let this idiot Sabusu go back with the loot first.
If he turns around and comes back to settle the score with the damn barbarians, he must let them know how powerful the Qing cavalry is!
The shortest way back to the division is to take the route between Treviso and Mestre, returning to the Balkans via the northern shore of the Gulf of Venice.
"If the barbarians want to stop..."
"Then let's make him miserable!"
Regarding Sabusu's concerns, Mu Zhan sneered and made the final decision.
Now he has only reduced his number by 50,000, and he still has about 250,000 cavalry. Why should he be afraid of the barbarian?
We must let the dog barbarians understand that no matter where they are, they will become the defeated generals of the Qing Dynasty King!
Sabusu had seen the enemy's camp with his own eyes before, but he was still not sure whether the enemy was the main force, so his troops received a heavy beating.
At the moment, we can only guess that the barbarians also want to intercept Master Wang's path and use those flying evil objects to fight to the death with Master Wang.
Mu Zhan didn't believe that shit flying evil things could be worth hundreds of thousands of Qing cavalry. It was just that Sabusu was scared out of his wits.
The whole army will rest that day, and the next day they will go straight to Goumanzi's camp. If they can't take it, they can go around.
Forcing him to abandon his camp and fight the king's master in the wild.
In this way, Master Wang could take advantage of riding and shooting to win.
Regarding the weather, Mu Zhan was a little helpless.
Sunny days are conducive to the galloping cavalry, while rainy days will weaken the barbarians' firearm advantage.
What was extremely bad was that it rained that night...
Early the next morning, after being trampled by horses, everything around us was filled with mud.
Mu Zhan was forced to give up his plan to raid the opponent's camp, and the entire army took a detour, with the goal still being the Balkans on the other side.
The detour didn't go very far, it was just fifty or sixty miles away from the enemy camp.
It makes it difficult for the enemy infantry to come out and stop them in time, but this distance is only a matter of time for the aircraft.
Turena has transferred twenty aircraft that originally belonged to the Southeast Governor's Region. Including the original parts, the total number is as high as more than three hundred.
After Justinian received tragic reports from various places, he ordered the Venetian Air Force to cooperate with the operation as much as possible.
If you can't hit the opponent on the ground, attack from the air!
After discovering the main force of the Qing army, the French-Weifang Air Force joint forces immediately held an "extremely warm welcome ceremony" for them!
Because they came out in full force, the first batch of "Albatross" fighter jets that flew over Mu Zhan's troops exceeded 300.
Even though the air forces of France and Venice are both equipped with "Hercules" bombers, the power of a large group of "Albatross" bombs cannot be underestimated.
The vast cavalry group of the Qing army was bombarded by thousands of aerial bombs on the spot. They were immediately blown up and turned upside down. The explosions were deafening, one after another.
After gaining valuable practical experience by attacking the Sabusu Division, Fawei pilots now drop bombs wherever they see a crowd.
The larger the enemy's target area and the higher the density, the higher the accuracy of your own bombs, the easier it is to hit, and the greater the damage.
The aerial bombs directly exploded the ground into a mess, and the Qing army and cavalry were also in chaos.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fighters that had dropped their bombs did not leave, but began to harvest their prey with machine guns.
Each machine gunner has brought enough ammunition for his treasure, and the least person has almost filled the cockpit.
At least forty bullet plates, each with forty rounds of ammunition.
A total of more than 1,600 rounds of bullets are enough to carry out a saturation strike in about half an hour.
Even if a springboard bullet can only knock down one enemy cavalry, an "Albatross" can achieve forty or fifty victories.
Including the part collected by aerial bombs, more than 300 "Albatross" were like vultures hovering over the sheep.
In less than an hour, it caused no less than 20,000 casualties to Mu Zhan's troops.
Compared with Mu Zhan's total military strength, these casualties were not enough to break the bones.
However, it was obvious that he was unable to resist, and Mu Zhan was already furious about this.
The flying evil creatures of the barbarians come and go when they want. The warriors of the Qing Dynasty cannot stop them at all, let alone stay.
The only result was that the two sides collided with each other and then both crashed...
Mu Zhan thought that it would be over and the other party would not come again.
Unexpectedly, only half an hour later, the other party's cirrus cloud came back again.
Seeing that the Tatars did not intend to come to charge, Turena decided to launch an air attack.
First use the powerful air superiority to continuously weaken the opponent's cavalry troops, and finally...
It doesn't take much. If you kill 20,000 people at once, you can kill 100,000 people five times.
If you add up, you can lay a solid foundation for the decisive battle.
The emperor of the Ming Empire said that either we should not fight, or we should fight at least not to lose, or we should try our best to find ways to win.
Today, we will use fighter planes to teach the Tatars a lesson and let them experience the power of high-tech weapons.
Mu Zhan has already tasted the bitter pill. Even if he can't eat it, he will be force-fed by the other party!
The 250,000-strong army was actually beaten like a mob, all fleeing in multiple ways.
Mu Zhan estimated that it would take at least two or three days to pass through this dangerous area, which meant that he might have been beaten in the past three days.
"Damn barbarians!"
Just like Sabusu's reaction before, he couldn't get rid of the current predicament even if he kept cursing.
If Turenne really wants to use the "Hercules" bomber in this battle, then it can be decided in one battle.
No matter how powerful the enemy cavalry force is, it cannot withstand the carpet bombing tactics adopted by the bomber group.
Perhaps if another four to five hundred fighter planes are invested, similar results can be achieved.
I think Tirena was a little envious of the generals of the Ming army. They could use the most advanced weapons.
However, fantasy cannot win, so for the time being, I can only make do with what I have on hand.
"Your Majesty Marshal, shall we attack?"
Leopold had long been eager to achieve a glorious victory, and he was really looking forward to this moment.
"No! Your Majesty, let's wait until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"
Perhaps when he was forty years old, he would have led the charge like Leopold.
Now that I am very patient, I must destroy the confidence of the Tatars little by little.
Is it a good deal to trade 300 planes for 300,000 cavalry?
Of course it’s a great deal!
It takes up to half a year to produce an aircraft, and more than ten years to train a cavalryman.
What's more, the battle loss ratio is still one to one thousand!
No matter how expensive the plane is, it is still more expensive than the total price of a thousand cavalry!
The airport is located within the camp and can be well protected.
The other party wants to destroy the airport, which is exactly what Turenne wants.
Mu Zhan had already learned the take-off and landing positions of the flying evil objects from the air of the reconnaissance rider, but he was no longer interested in the method of going directly to the lair.
The opponent's defense is tight, and I'm afraid the chance left to me is only that small.
If the effort is not proportional to the reward, then it is better to just run away.
We must keep most of our troops, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the emperor when we return.
He was born in the Zhenghuang Banner, and he also led his troops to the west, but suffered much greater losses than Chani, who was wearing a white flag, and Zhangtai, who was under the Zhenglan Banner. Isn't this embarrassing for the emperor?
Mu Zhan had long forgotten the rhetoric he used to teach Sabusu a lesson, and his current reaction was very similar to the latter's.
The Qing Dynasty's cavalry could travel more than three hundred miles in a day and night, and could escape to heaven in as little as two days.
If the entire army adopts a forced march, the barbarians will be helpless against the king's army.
But the captives can be tied to the packhorse and the animals are driven together. It doesn't matter if they run away a little.
Based on the situation reported by the rangers, Turenne ordered all cavalry to pursue the enemy the next day.
The goal is not to kill the main force, but to eat up the remaining stragglers and at the same time point out the direction of attack for the air force.
As long as the aircraft flies overhead, the Allied cavalry can fire flares.
This is equivalent to guiding the pilots in the direction of the enemy's escape, and they will attack the target faster than the ground forces.
Sabusu was ordered by Mu Zhan to lead 50,000 troops to cut off the rear in order to redeem his merits.
As a result, within three days, the unit suffered its second defeat.
More than two hundred "Albatross" flew over to him without any communication, just aerial bombs and bullets.
In just one encounter, Sabusu lost tens of thousands of his men, and even his own banner was blown up.
Since the other party seemed to have seen the Great Banner, they regarded this place as the most important target.
After repeated firing, more than half of Sabusu's soldiers were killed on the spot, or were directly beaten to death.
He himself had to flee in embarrassment. There is no doubt that if he continued to stay in the crowd, he would die faster...
In less than half a day, Sabusu's 50,000-strong army was in bulk, looking like a star-studded army from the air.
Turenne ordered Leopold's more than 40,000 cavalry troops to take charge of the left wing, Armand's four cavalry brigades to take charge of the right wing, and Venice's 10,000 cavalry troops to attack from the center.
Facing the Allied cavalry forces, the Trident Offensive was launched, coupled with powerful air superiority.
Sabusu's troops were defeated and had no idea or ability to fight back.
Before dark, Sabusu could only flee northeast with less than 3,000 people.
On September 30, the main force of Muzan entered Ottoman territory.
After counting, there were less than 150,000 soldiers left in the nearly 300,000-strong army, which was equivalent to the loss of half of the troops.
This can be regarded as the largest defeat that the Qing army has ever suffered in the past twenty years.
Not only were many troops lost, but the results were also disastrous.
Except fighting in Austria and Switzerland makes sense.
Whether in France or Venice, they were all beaten by the previously vulnerable barbarians.
Especially after being raped several times by evil flying creatures, even the cavalry, which he was best at, suffered repeated defeats.
Morale was low and they had no fighting spirit. Fortunately, the Ottoman-controlled area was east of Venice, otherwise they would have been pursued by the barbarians.
After Justinian learned of Turenne's victory, he immediately announced the good news in the newspapers.
The annihilation of 200,000 enemies in the Battle of Treviso was the most glorious victory achieved since the battle with the Tatars.
Turena is also regarded as the European God of War, and he is worthy of being the first general under the European Emperor!
After reading the newspaper, Turenne just laughed.
Everyone knows that the real God of War is in the Eastern World...
But no matter what, it is an undoubted fact that he can lead a group of friends who are accustomed to winning two battles in a row.
The Allied forces suffered less than 5,000 losses and nearly 130,000 enemies were wiped out. The battle-loss ratio was unprecedented.
Even Leopold admired Turenne, although the emperor also envied Turenne's high-end weapons.
These were all imported from the Ming Empire. If I had such sharp weapons, maybe...
A certain emperor obviously forgot how his fathers ignored the olive branch of the Ming Emperor!
Tracing back to the origin, it was Richelieu who had a keen eye and decided to have good relations with the Ming Empire.
Mazarin inherited Richelieu's foreign strategy and made Turenne famous in the Eastern world.
In the end, he helped the Ming Emperor achieve the final victory in the war with the Tatars, and in turn gave back to France.
France's current international status is indispensable to Richelieu, Mazarin, and Louis XIV.
And Louis XIV can only be ranked third, after all, the contribution of the first two is too great.
If the European emperor wanted to compare, he could only compare with Charlemagne.
Fortunately, the territory and national power of the French Empire today have greatly exceeded that of the Frankish Empire back then.
During his reign, Louis XIV was also regarded as the most accomplished monarch in French history.
From birth to now, he has hardly made any major mistakes.
Richelieu, Mazarin, and Colbert were used in literature, and Boudes, Turenne, and d'Estrela were used in military affairs.
Famous ministers in literature, famous generals in military affairs, and the wise decision-making of the monarch created a powerful French empire.
Louis XIV believed that Turenne could bring him victory, and he was a little restless in his heart.
Every day when I open my eyes, I hear telegrams from the front line or letters from pilots, but I never urge Turenne.
Whether it is the Eastern world or the Spanish battlefield, Turena has the absolute right to issue orders for military operations.
All Louis XIV had to do was do his best to provide Colbert with logistical support.
And then there’s the waiting…
The greater the victory, the greater the patience required and the longer the wait.
From the spring of 1694 to the autumn of that year, Louis XIV finally achieved the long-awaited victory.
A large-scale celebration was held at the Palace of Versailles that day, and was published in newspapers and widely advertised to all French people.
After returning to Austria, Turena learned that he had become the God of War for the second time...
Even if he really wanted to be given this enviable nickname, he would have to wait until he completely defeated the main force of the Qing army.
According to Turenne's estimate based on intelligence from various sources, the Qing army could mobilize at least three million people to participate in the war.
The 130,000 he killed was only equivalent to less than 5% of the opponent's total force.
Not to mention facing the powerful Ottoman opponent, who also has aircraft, tanks, and heavy artillery.
In other words, whether it is France or its allies, the road to victory is long and arduous!
