The war is fought with money and food, and the national strength of the Kingdom of Isardinian cannot be fought for a long time, and the loan of John Bull is not easy to get, and it is almost impossible for the Kingdom of Isardinian to borrow again.

Now the Republic of Hungary is in danger, and if the Austrian Civil War is over, the Venetian War is not over, and this consequence is clear.

……

On the Venetian front, the general headquarters of the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Bardorio is commanding the country with high spirits, not commanding the army.

Regardless of the combat effectiveness of both sides, at least in terms of the number of troops, the Kingdom of Sardinia has an absolute advantage.

The total number of troops that Austria could devote to the Venetian battlefield was less than 100,000, and Bardogio had 200,000 troops in his hands, and even if some of the troops were held back by the Lombard rebellion, there were still 160,000.

"Marshal, there is news from the country that the Vienna government has sent 50,000 reinforcements to the Venice area, ordering us to conquer Venice before the enemy reinforcements arrive!"

The words of the intelligence staff officer scared Bardolio half to death, and he hurriedly asked: "When will the enemy's reinforcements arrive in Venice?" ”

"The Vienna government has drawn 50,000 troops from the Austrian Legion and is rushing from Kupburg, no more than half a month at the latest, and ten days at the earliest."

Hearing this, Badolio set his eyes on the map and looked at it carefully.

The Venetian offensive was originally intended to force the Austrian army to return and relieve the pressure on the Hungarian Republic.

But this is based on the premise that the Kingdom of Sardinia conquered Venice, and now the two sides are still fighting, at this time if Austria has 50,000 more troops, he will still fart?

If the Republic of Hungary is saved, then the inaction of the Venetian battlefield is also strategically feasible.

Badolio was not optimistic about the Republic of Hungary, and even if Austria lost 50,000 troops, it still could not change the outcome of the war.

Without hesitation, Badolio decisively ordered: "Our time is running out, order the troops, get ready, and start the march at half past nine tomorrow morning!"

General Messer, you lead the 2nd and 8th Divisions, and you must capture Trento in 3 days, and then penetrate into the enemy's rear to cut off the enemy's rear.

General Farker Squid ......"

The command of the Austrian army, Field Marshal Radkiss, also received news of reinforcements, which were received even earlier than the Italians.

The Hungarian advance on the battlefield was too smooth, the Bohemian Corps had crossed the Danube and surrounded Budapest, and the Croatian Corps was less than a hundred kilometers from Budapest.

By this time, the importance of the Austrian legion had declined, and there was no need for so many troops, so Franz naturally chose to reinforce the Venetian battlefield.

Marshal Radkiss's hanging heart had already fallen, and if there were no reinforcements, even if he could win the battle against the enemy with the strength in his hands, he would not be able to expand the results of the battle.

"Marshal, should we change our military deployment and wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then fight the enemy in a decisive battle?" General Victor proposed

Marshal Radkiss shook his head and said: "No, it is estimated that the troops on the front line have already exchanged fire, and it is too late to change the military deployment."

I have ordered the reinforcements to abandon their baggage and hurry up the march to arrive, and under normal circumstances, they will be able to meet the battle. ”

There is no doubt that the Kingdom of Sardinia made a mistake in judgment, and they did not expect that the Austrian reinforcements would go lightly.

This is the advantage of fighting on the ground, where only light weapons can be carried when necessary, food can be provided by the local government along the way, and ammunition can be replenished in Venice.

The turning point of the Ossa War appeared, and now it is concentrated on time.

If Bardogio was able to defeat the Austrian army before the arrival of Austrian reinforcements, the Kingdom of Sardinia would have gained a temporary military advantage, and the war could have ended decently.

If, on the other hand, the Austrian army Marshal Radekith was victorious, the Kingdom of Sardinia would have to prepare for the defense of its homeland.

On May 9, 1848, the Battle of Venice broke out, and the Tuscan army, which was the fastest, was the first to suffer.

Well, Leopoldo II, Grand Duke of Tuscany, was also raised by Austria, and he didn't want to fight Austria at all, so he was forced to send troops because of public opinion.

Leopoldo II's ability to scheming is still qualified, at least he did a good job of killing people with a knife, for example, this time he fooled the nationalists into the expeditionary force.

Not everyone is self-aware, for example, the Tuscan nationalist leader, Mr. Maherde, who thinks that he is a god of arms, has taken the position of commander, and is ready to rely on this war to make political capital.

"Commander, will there be a problem with the fish entering the net so soon?" Chief of Staff Fislav asked uncertainly

"Questions? According to intelligence, this enemy force acted alone, and other enemy units closest to them were also thirty kilometers away.

By the time their reinforcements arrived, the battle would have been over long ago. Could it be that with these 5,000 enemy troops, we can hold back our Sixth Division for a day? The commander of the Sixth Division, Morkes, analyzed

"But the enemy's performance is too stupid, and even such a few people dare to go deep alone, do they think they are Napoleon?" Chief of Staff Fislav said with a frown

"No matter what we do, anyway, our task is to defeat this enemy army that is rising, no matter what the enemy's plot is, let's eat the bait first.

This time, the enemies came from four states, and they were full of internal contradictions, and maybe this Tuscan army was betrayed! Morkes guessed

After thinking about it, Fislav didn't see a problem, so he said: "Okay, let's fight first, but send more spies, and be careful that the enemy has reinforcements!" ”

Time passed minute by minute, and with Morkes' order, the guns crackled, and the Battle of Venice began.

The sudden enemy attack stunned the Tuscan army on the march.

Maheard was a good orator and possibly a good writer, but he was definitely not a military strategist.

Maherd looked down on the rotten Tuscan aristocratic officers, and the officers in this expeditionary force were personally appointed by him, and most of them were patriotic youths.

Everyone was very bloody, and they were dissatisfied with the procrastination of their teammates, so they all ran a little faster, and accidentally ran to the front.

Thanks to the usual propaganda, in their minds the Austrian Empire was rotten and the army was vulnerable, and the Kingdom of Sardinia was even more convinced of this by the bloodless occupation of Lombardy.

Therefore, after encountering the enemy, their first reaction was not panic, but surprise, and then they did not hesitate to order a counterattack, and the young officers rushed to the forefront by example.
