The morning sun slowly opened the curtain, the blood stained the earth, and the red lanterns rising in the east complemented each other, and the air still exuded a strong smell of blood, as if telling the tragedy of last night.

The war had come to an end, and Austrian soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, and from time to time a group of prisoners were escorted by, proving who was the victor in the war.

Grigge ordered: "Dispose of the enemy's corpses as soon as possible, there are not so many priests in our army to send them off!" ”

The summer of 1848 came very early, and it was still May when the temperature rose to 32°C, and in order to avoid the plague, the corpses had to be burned.

……

The fire began to burn, and a group of priests emerged from the captives to participate in the farewell ceremony, and Grigge did not stop them.

Continental European faith is an unavoidable topic, and the most basic respect given to the dead is the basic moral discipline of the nobility.

At the same time as bidding farewell to the enemy, the Austrian army also bid farewell to their comrades, and as they watched the familiar young men buried in the dirt, Grigge's good mood fell silent.

Last night's battle went well, but even then the Austrian army paid a heavy price.

Nearly one regiment was wiped out, especially the more than 800 people who took part in the raid, less than half survived, including a hundred wounded.

Heavy casualties and astonishing results were also striking, killing more than 3,000 enemy soldiers, capturing more than 7,000 enemy soldiers, and capturing a number of supplies, winning the biggest victory since the outbreak of the war.

With the victory at the Battle of Trento, the situation on the battlefield of Venice was also turned upside down, and the true face of the insufficient combat effectiveness of the Sardinian army was revealed.

Encouraged by the Austrian army, many of the generals were grinding their fists and preparing to look for an opportunity to make a big move.

Trento was an important part of the Venetian War, Marshal Bardolio only deployed heavy troops, and there was no such good luck elsewhere, even if he had an advantage in troops, this advantage could not be several times.

The Battle of Trento was a turning point in the Auss-Sa War, after which the offensive and defensive forces reversed and the Austrian army launched a wave of counter-offensives.

……

Major General Mantua, General Mantua, General of the Sardinian Army, reported: "Your Excellency, the present situation is very unfavorable for us, the troops of the Papal States are retreating, they have been out of the battlefield, and it seems that they are ready to withdraw from this war.

The Tuscans, having suffered a crushing defeat in the previous days, entered the ostrich state and are now stationed in Brescia, fifty kilometers from the battlefield.

Even if we wanted to engage the enemy, it would take two days to travel, and now we are alone. ”

Marshal Badolio frowned, parallel goods are parallel goods, and his military literacy is simply not enough to command so many troops to fight.

Not only him, but in the entire army of the Kingdom of Sardinia, there was no general who could control the battle of 200,000 troops.

There is no way, famous generals are all fought on the battlefield. The standing army of the Kingdom of Sardinia was only twenty or thirty thousand, and the highest-ranking front-line officers were only at the level of division commanders.

Suddenly promoted to the commander of the group army, to command 20 times the original troops to fight, anyone needs a process of adaptation.

At present, Marshal Bardogio is still adapting, and since the Battle of Venice began, there has been varying degrees of confusion in the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia, which has made him exhausted.

Rubbing his forehead, Marshal Badolio spoke: "Don't discipline the Papal States army for now, now that something has happened in the Papal States, they can't take care of this war."

The Tuscans were now only one regiment of troops, and they were already dispensable in this war.

If it weren't for political necessity, I wouldn't mind letting them get out of the way immediately, lest they stay and waste food! ”

Clearly, Marshal Badolio had a deep grudge against these two allies who did not obey his commands, and had now completely lost faith in them.

"Marshal, marshal, something is wrong!" The guard felt excited

Badolio glared in the direction from which the voice came, deep down, having already sentenced the panicked guard to death, and he was already calculating where to throw this unknown bastard to eat dirt.

"Slow down, the sky hasn't fallen yet!"

The guard tried to calm down a little and said: "Marshal, news has come from the front, our troops besieging Trento were attacked by the enemy last night, and now they have suffered heavy losses, and General Messer is retreating to Bergamo!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the baton in Marshal Badolio's hand was thrown out, hitting the unlucky guard on the forehead.

Before the guards could react, Marshal Badolio had already rushed over, grabbed him by the collar, and asked murderously: "How is this possible, are you sure you didn't lie about the military situation?" ”

At this time, the guards were about to pee, and he finally knew why this good errand to report the military situation to the marshal had fallen on his head.

The guard said worriedly: "Marshal, these are all battle reports from the front line, we have sent someone to verify them, and they are absolutely accurate!" ”

Hearing this answer, Marshal Badogio became even more angry, pushed the guard to the ground with one palm, looked at him with murderous eyes, and said fiercely: "Why don't you report it in advance?" ”

The guards lay on the ground stupidly at a loss, report in advance? The truth is uncertain, the size of the loss is uncertain, what am I going to report?

Could it be that the front line could suffer a major defeat and the army could suffer heavy losses? The specific number of casualties is between 0~30,000?

Looking at the murderous Marshal Badogio, everyone chose to stand by very tacitly, even if they all wanted to find out what was happening on the front line and why General Messer was defeated.

Venting his anger, Marshal Bardorio slowly eased up, suppressed his emotions, and continued: "Waste, don't dare to hurry up for me!" ”

These were two quick-eyed young officers who hurriedly set up the overwhelmed guard.

"Say, what's really going on at the front? Could it be that Messer that idiot, three divisions can't defeat the enemy in a regiment? Bardolio asked

The infantry divisions in the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia are not large, and they have increased after the expansion, basically between 8,500 ~ 12,000 people.

No matter how small this establishment is, against an Austrian regiment of more than 2,000 people, it is also an absolute advantage, and there is no possibility of turning the tables.

The guard said in fear: "Marshal, we have been fooled, and the enemy has more than one regiment in Trento. Preliminary judgment is that there are at least five infantry divisions, and we have failed! ”

There is no doubt that this is a lie about the military situation. Killing General Messer, he also did not dare to say that the enemy had only three regiments, that would mean going to a court-martial.
