War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

These people were mainly hooligans and scoundrels who temporarily joined the Polish army. Their purpose of joining was to make money and take the opportunity to rape and plunder.

A team recruited temporarily, once someone slacks off, a group of people around them will start slacking off.

At this time of life and death, the Poles obviously cannot afford to delay.

Tisovsky and Dembovsky immediately rushed to the stopped team. They stepped on the stirrups and got out of the car and looked at the group of soldiers in front of them. They understood what this group of people wanted.

Then the two looked at each other, and finally Tisovsky spoke.

"We know that marching has been hard for everyone these days. But behind us are the Austrian troops, and they are all butchers who kill without batting an eye.

If we fall into their hands, our lives will be worse than death. They will imprison us in the Inquisition and torture us to death bit by bit.

But as long as we get to Dorobic first and take control of the idiot crown prince of the Austrian Empire, we can negotiate with them and let them return Galicia to us!

Long live the Kingdom of Poland! "

No one answered, but Tisovsky did not feel embarrassed and just cleared his throat and said.

"The Jasusky family of Dorobich is the richest man in Lviv. Considering that Wihliu Yasuski colluded with the Austrians, the Council of the Kingdom of Poland has given you special permission to plunder for three days!

Long live the Kingdom of Poland! "

The soldiers and gangsters remained indifferent. The logic of this group of speculators was very simple. If they want me to work, I must first serve them well.

"Stop lying to us with such nonsense! Either give us money and food, or get out!"

"Yes! Damn Austria, why can't we see it? Stop talking so much here!"

All kinds of dirty words and cynicism made the two temporary secretaries of state lose face, so they had no choice but to get in the carriage and leave.

These troublemaking soldiers thought they had won, but they miscalculated. Soon a group of non-commissioned officers rushed over and killed all the leaders without saying a word. Then raindrops of whips fell on them, and the remaining people could only Able to keep up with large groups in a hurry.

On the fifth day, people fainted from time to time, and the physical strength of ordinary militiamen was approaching its limit.

At this time, General Hainau, who was in charge of the pursuit in the rear, decided to wake up the guys in front and specially asked his cavalry artillery battalion to fire artillery in the rear of the Poles.

With no cover at all, the solid bullets plowed bloody lines in the Polish army's ranks.

The damage caused by the artillery was different from the previous massacres of heretics and civilians by the militias. The iron balls tore the flesh and blood of the soldiers without any emotion at all.

The wailing, screaming, praying, and cursing received no response at all, just solid bullets bouncing in and out of the queue, causing a bloody storm wherever they passed.

In fact, Hainau had more efficient explosive shells in his hands, but his mission was only to pursue them. If these Poles were really defeated, it would ruin the plan.

At this time, Hainao finally understood why the two princes dared to wait for the other party to launch an attack. It was just that there were too many deserters on the other side, and they were afraid that they would all run away before Dorobichi arrived.

Hainaut's troops captured many prisoners, but more deserters were killed by local serfs. He had seen this kind of situation many times along the way, and it was no longer strange at this time.

The Poles also counterattacked in the face of Hainau's provocation, but it was obviously unrealistic to chase the cavalry with infantry.

As for relying on sharpshooters to shoot, just think about it. The range of artillery is nearly one thousand meters, while the maximum distance of the old-fashioned rifled guns used by the Poles at this time was only six hundred meters.

Even if the Austrian cavalry was within shooting range, it would still depend on luck if the two sides were five or six hundred meters apart.

The artillery firing queue is different. The target of the queue is very large. Even if it cannot hit, the sound of the artillery alone is enough to deter the opponent.

The best way to counter cavalry harassment is to rely on cavalry, but most of the Polish cavalry are temporarily recruited and cannot be compared with troops that actually receive military training all year round.

The result was repeated on-site teaching, but those people could not become stronger because the tuition was their lives.

There were only a few people who could ride horses, and the exaggerated battle loss ratio almost caused the entire Polish cavalry force to collapse.

However, thanks to the encouragement of the Austrian cavalry, the Polish army was full of motivation again.

On the eighth day, the 30,000-strong Polish Restoration Army now numbered less than 10,000, and they were still two days away from the Yasuski Manor.

In fact, Tisovsky once sent someone to surrender to General Hainau in the hope of getting a chance to go into exile. However, the reply he received was that "traitors are not worthy of negotiating terms."

So at this time, they can only bite the bullet and continue to march towards Dorobic. Theoretically, they still have hope, because they have already opened up the main force of Hainau for two days, and only some cavalry are following the Polish army. Sovsky had an ominous premonition.

In Yasusky Manor, Franz's door was knocked again.

"Archduke Franz, a lady is looking for you."

"Invite her in."

Franz didn't think much about it. He felt that it was probably Lakshmi Pai who didn't dare to sleep again. Can you not be afraid if you can hear crying under your bed?

However, Franz searched the entire room and found no secret passage. There is a high probability that the entrance is not in this room. It is just because the soil layer is not thick enough and the sound insulation effect is not good enough.

However, this time it was not Lakshmi Pai but Celestina.

"Hello, Archduke Franz."

"Hello, Miss Celestina. What's wrong so late? If there's nothing important, just wait until tomorrow."

This was a time when women had a bad reputation for staying too late in a man's room, and the latter apparently didn't understand this and even sat at Franz's desk.

"What is Vienna like? Can you tell me about it?"

"."

Franz was speechless for a while. He knew very well that the other party was a drunkard who didn't care about wine, but the "landscape". But it doesn't matter, after all, I am very good at pretending to be crazy, and when it comes to Vienna at this time.

That was a city that Franz had transformed single-handedly. He could talk about it for a day and a night.

Celestina came again the next day, and Franz said she listened, and the two were in a stalemate for another day.

Franz's mouth went dry for several days, but Celestina only had to smile, applaud, and occasionally say "Archduke Franz, you are so knowledgeable."

Finally, on the night of the ninth day, Celestina changed her question to a more personal one.

"Do you want to know me?"

"In no mood."

Celestina did not feel embarrassed by Franz's answer. Instead, she took off the suspender of one side of her backless skirt and stepped towards the former, continuing to smile.

"Can you do me a favor? I want to get some air. The buttons of the corset are in the back and I can't reach them."

The girl's body fragrance gradually spread into Franz's nose, and her gentle words made people intoxicated. Generally speaking, there is no reason not to eat the meat that is brought to your mouth. You have to hold it even if you are not hungry.
