After dawn, the rising scorching sun and artillery bombardment shattered the flying sand ocean, leaving the Tsarist Russian troops in purgatory.
They were under fire and unable to fight back.
All the protective projects built by this army, called the Cadet Corps, were now completely destroyed by the Prussian troops with artillery, leaving nothing behind.
Under such bombardment, the morale of the trainee regiment of the Tsarist Russian army was close to collapse.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Frederick II ordered his troops.
Nine battalions with a total of 4,300 men assaulted Fort Mill, coordinated by the cavalry unit led by Finnk.
They were unable to observe the blind spots from the Russian army.
Launch operations from these places.
Prussia also developed the production of grenades when cooperating with the Longyan Army.
They formed a bombardment unit. In such terrain, when there is no artillery like the Dragon Flame Artillery that is most suitable for bombardment, grenade attack is a good choice.
The grenade is small in size. After being thrown, it can explode with good power. The only drawback is the attack distance, which only depends on the ability of the throwing hand.
In order to cope with this battle, Frederick II also formed a throwing force.
These soldiers are all good at throwing grenades. The farthest thrower can even throw the grenade forty meters and land it accurately at the bombardment location.
Such results are already terrifying.
These people picked up the grenades, pulled the fuse and threw the grenades in their hands.
The trainee regiments of Tsarist Russia did not make much breakthrough in technology, but they had also fought against the Long Yan people and knew what this kind of thing was.
After seeing the grenade, they quickly hid. Once this thing exploded, it would be very lethal to their troops.
So after seeing these grenades, their first choice was to hide.
Definitely not hard steel, these seemingly harmless things.
Sure enough, the grenade exploded in the sky with a bang, releasing countless shrapnel.
Because the Tsarist Russian troops had already taken cover, these shrapnel did not cause them much damage, but the Prussian troops.
But taking advantage of this opportunity, under the cover of the throwing troops, they crossed Luzhai and their cavalry quickly defeated the trainee troops.
The demoralized trainee regiment suffered heavy casualties, and some even did nothing during the battle.
Even with death coming like this, some people are even praising Saint Nicholas.
Among the Prussian troops, when some newly arrived grenadiers were attacking, they saw these soldiers who were attacking the Russian troops and actually forgot to use the bayonets in their hands to attack.
If the veteran next to him hadn't knocked him down with a fierce punch, he might have been killed by Tsarist Russian soldiers by now.
After helping him kill the Russian soldiers, the veteran taught him a lesson: "If you don't kill him, he will come and kill you!"
Only then did the recruit realize that he was in the middle of a war.
If he doesn't fight on the battlefield, the opponent will kill him.
A large part of the troops invested this time came from newly recruited soldiers from Prussia.
Judging from this fighting situation, the performance of the soldiers on both sides was not qualified.
After experiencing the defeat, the Prussian soldiers no longer had the quality they had before the war, and the performance of the Tsarist Russian troops was even more worrying.
Tsarist Russia was previously known as the most ferocious force on land, but the combat capabilities of the trainee legion were really unacceptable.
Naresh, who was in another position, saw through the telescope the battle taking place on the position of Fort Mill in the distance.
He hastily called in supporting troops and launched an attack.
Reinforcements from the Great Shpitz Highlands have rushed over, but to no avail.
This time the Prussian troops fought far beyond their imagination, as if the invincible iron army was back again.
Tsarist Russia has defeated its troops and is now running along the Kungrount Valley. They have no fighting spirit at all.
Frederick II struck while the iron was hot and quickly controlled the positions of the Russian troops, and also captured a total of 80 artillery pieces, large and small.
In the view of Finnick's generals, it is already very difficult for their troops to achieve such results.
Finck persuaded Frederick II: "Your Majesty, we just hold our position. When it gets dark, the Russian troops will naturally retreat."
"At that time, we will hold on to today's results and wait until tomorrow to continue discussing how to attack other highlands."
However, Frederick II was very opposed to such a proposal, and even believed that he should pursue the victory now and defeat the Tsarist Russian troops in one fell swoop.
"No, keep attacking!"
"Our army has just achieved victory, and it is the time when morale is at its best. If we retreat at this time, it will definitely affect the morale of our army. It is best to pursue the victory now!"
"Destroy the Russian army in one fell swoop!"
General Finck had no way to oppose Frederick II's orders.
In fact, Frederick II's approach was very correct, but Finnick believed that their soldiers were now exhausted and must be adequately trained and adjusted so that their troops could win this battle. It's already a miracle.
Continuing to attack now would be pushing his troops into a pit of fire, but Frederick II remained unmoved.
He always believed that now was the best time to attack.
Frederick II, who was determined to think things through with the Tsarist Russian troops, thought of his loyal troops and issued the order.
"attack!"
The Prussian troops advanced into the rift valley.
This mistake made Frederick II regretful because of his mistake.
Because of the high momentum, the entire vanguard force only thought about how to defeat the Tsarist Russian troops. They had too much enthusiasm and failed to maintain the rationality that should exist.
So they did not pay attention to the situation in the valley while marching. They were traveling too fast, and other troops followed them in this way, traveling too fast.
It was completely ignored that some troops had no way to pass through and were stuck there.
And they caused disaster because they were too far apart and too close together.
In this way, they first fell into the hardship of making it difficult to march.
Especially for the Prussian artillery, it was difficult to move the artillery under such circumstances.
However, they still succeeded, and they transported four new Austrian artillery pieces to the newly occupied Fort Mill.
Use the artillery manufactured by the Tsarist Russian coalition to aim at the Tsarist Russian troops and continue the fierce attack.
At this time, it was clear that the position of Fort Mill could not be regained, so they set their sights on another place, the Kungetron Valley!
This valley is the valley linking Fort Mill and the Greater Shpitz Highlands.
However, this valley is very long, narrow and crowded, making it difficult for troops to pass.
So now they want to trap the Prussian troops who are pursuing the victory in the Kungetron Valley.
