The unfortunate Austrian coalition army is destined to have this catastrophe today, Benedek has been completely stunned by the Prussian army, it was originally a state of parity, even if the other side has more troops, insist on ten days and half a month, there will not be much problem, the result is because of their own carelessness, the Prussian army took advantage of the loophole, and the powerful two-wing artillery gave the Austrian coalition a huge pressure.

What Benedek should have done at this time was to concentrate the main forces to launch a surprise attack, break out of the encirclement, and rearrange the defensive line, with the strength of the Austrian coalition, although it was not as strong as Prussia, but it was completely possible to rush out, and even under the protection of the cavalry, it would not be subject to too much resistance.

Annoyed, Benedek had to compare himself with his opponent, completely carried away by the temporary predicament, and attacked the right flank position with all his might, which was completely a reckless style of play, and the offensive on the right flank high ground was indeed suppressed by you with superior forces, but what about the left flank and the frontal battlefield?

The powerful Prussian army took advantage of the shift in the center of attention of the Austrian coalition forces to launch a full-scale attack on the Austrian position, and two or three hundred artillery pieces were all thrown into the battle.

In just ten minutes, the Prussian army dropped more than 1,000 shells on the Austrian artillery positions, covering the entire artillery positions, and not even a single complete stone could be found on the positions, all of which became powder! As for the Austrian artillery, it was even more miserable, under the bombardment of more than 1,000 shells, it was beaten in pieces, and the five or six artillery regiments of the Austrian coalition army, tens of thousands of people, were bombed by the artillery and suffered countless casualties, and the artillery was damaged a lot!

Not to mention that the artillery suffered a heavy blow, the frontal position also encountered huge defensive pressure!

The Prussians rushed up quickly with rifles one by one, all of them were breech-loading rifles, Liaoyuan No. 1, and it was the world's first rifled gun that could be fired continuously, with extremely advanced performance, even if it was the French Army and the British Army, the current infantry musket equipment could not beat the Prussian army, as for the Austrian coalition army, most of them still stayed in the front-loading smoothbore gun, and the era of single-shot rifled guns, whether it was range, accuracy, or rate of fire, it could not be compared with the Prussian army!

What's even worse is that these Prussians actually pushed the heavy machine guns directly out of the position, occupied the gentle steep slope, and launched a fierce attack directly on the Austrian coalition army, under the cover of powerful firepower, the Prussian soldiers were more ferocious, and the Austrian coalition army was even more panicked under the impact of Prussia, and could not withstand the Prussian offensive at all!

Some Prussian soldiers were even less than a hundred meters from the front of the Austrian coalition positions!

At this critical moment, Benedek sounded the powerful cavalry behind him, and at this time, only by letting the cavalry out of the horse can the situation be saved!

"Order, the cavalry will immediately attack and drive the Prussian infantry back to me! Cavalry charge! ”

Benedek brought over two cavalry brigades this time, with a strength of up to 8,000 people, which is an unusually powerful mobile force, perhaps a wide range of troop mobilization, Austria is not as good as Prussia, but on the battlefield, the cavalry of the Austrian coalition is stronger than Prussia, Prussia lacks a strong cavalry force, which can be regarded as a killer feature of the Austrian coalition!

Three cavalry regiments rushed up from behind and rushed straight at the Prussian infantry in front of them!

Prince Frederick behind him was shocked, cavalry, and the Austrian coalition forces finally showed their hole cards!

"Order the artillery, aim at the front of the positions of the Austrian coalition troops, carry out intensive bombardment, stop their cavalry from advancing! Heavy machine gun battalion, providing fire cover! ”

Prince Frederick shouted.

In the rear, the Prussian artillery moved again, and one shell after another flew to the Austrian forward position, blowing up the front of the position into sand and stones, the sound of artillery shook the earth, and the war horses could not advance calmly under the threat of artillery, and some were even directly blown to pieces by the shells!

Under the cover of artillery fire and heavy machine guns, the Prussian soldiers temporarily retreated, but the cavalry of the Austrian coalition did not intend to forget about it like this, and the commander of the cavalry brigade waved his saber and charged straight towards the Prussian position in front!

Later, Benedek's heart flipped and wiped it, damn Franz! Did Lao Tzu give the order? You just went straight to the charge, didn't you see someone's heavy machine gun? Under the strafing of heavy machine guns, the cavalry rushed up and sent them to death, three or four thousand cavalry? Even if all the cavalry is pressed up, they will definitely not be able to break through the defense line of others!

However, if you want to drink it at this time, it is obviously too late!

Two heavy machine gun battalions, one on the left and one on the right, together, sixty heavy machine guns, began to fire fiercely, and one after another fire snakes began to shoot out from the muzzles of the heavy machine guns, directly attacking the cavalry led by Franz!

Not to mention the Austrian cavalry, even the world-leading Cossack cavalry could not take advantage of the formed heavy machine-gun battalions! One by one, the cavalry, together with the war horses, were directly beaten to the ground by heavy machine guns, and the cavalry behind couldn't stop their footsteps at all, and the cavalry in front of them, even the men and horses were directly trampled into pulp!

The war horse that rushed to the front even shot a dozen shots, and the horse's blood even spurted out directly!

Franz in the back had a burst of nausea in his stomach, he had never seen such a miserable situation, even if he was blown to pieces by a cannonball, it was better than this! It's miserable!

"Retreat! Fall back! ”

The frightened Franz turned around and ran, he dared to charge with any infantry or cavalry, but in the face of the heavy machine gun fire, Franz completely confessed, the power was too powerful, such a dense firepower, it didn't take long for his cavalry to make people break through!

The cavalry turned around and ran, and the Prussian soldiers turned around and rushed again, and not only did the soldiers charge, but also began to slowly advance along with the heavy machine guns, in an attempt to directly press the Austrian position and collapse Austria!

At this time, Steinmetz on the left flank position gave an order and ordered the second division on the left flank to start a surprise attack on the position of the Austrian coalition army, which was condescending, unstoppable!

The defeat of the Austrian coalition is decided!
