Techina finally took away a group.

And after walking for more than a hundred miles, we arrived directly at Nagoriani on the east bank of the Transnistria River!

According to the latest information obtained from Kazimiz, this is still the only place with bridges on the Transnistria River that lasts hundreds of miles long, and it is also a must for the Laodong army to come from Chernovtse Province.

Alin Alu once hid in the nearby jungle for some time!

Lao Dong arranged an infantry regiment to garrison here, and you can imagine the importance you attach to the place.

Near the bridgehead, there is a small hill about a hundred meters away, and the regiment sent an infantry company to garrison.

As mentioned earlier, in order to rush, Tiechna carried light weapons this time, the heaviest one was a 100-pound mortar that could be carried by a war horse.

In order to defend his retreat, Lao Dong also left some heavy artillery here, so it was not easy to conquer this place.

Techina also marched over quickly. After resting in the nearby forest for two hours, he made up his mind.

Take down the bridge!

According to his estimate, the war in Vinnica in the east will not end in a short while, but our own victory is certain. However, the Laodong Army is the most elite Transylvanian Legion of the Austrian Empire, and it is not so easy to win.

He asked the battalion carrying mortars to secretly sneak into the hill. After arriving at the foot of the hill, he immediately started bombarding the hill with a mortar!

The effective range of a 100-pound mortar is 200 meters. If the cannons on the mountain want to hit them, they must significantly lower the elevation angle. In that case, the gun position must be reset, which will not be possible soon for them.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

After three rounds of bombardment, the soldiers of the battalion rushed up with three-shot rifles with bayonets!

The hill is only a hundred meters long, the slope is slow, and there are trees on the mountain. The soldiers quickly rushed to the top of the mountain. After a dense grenade was thrown over, the battalion occupied the top of the mountain!

When we arrived at the top of the mountain, the battalion found that there were also some medium-sized cannons weighing more than 300 kilograms on the mountain, lying straight and straight on the ground. It seemed that they had not had time to adjust the elevation angle before they could be adjusted.

Titchina arranged a battalion of cavalry on both sides of the hill. After hearing the movement here, two battalions of infantry came from the bridgehead fortress. Titchina rushed with the cavalry and the two battalions dispersed. After another round of cover-up, at least 30% of the soldiers of the two battalions left their bodies outside.

However, there were at least one and a half battalions of defenders on the bridgehead, and various types of artillery were densely covered with artillery. Titchina did not fight. He asked someone to arrange twenty mortars on the small hill that he had just taken down on the opposite side, and then began to bombard the bridgehead position.

The Austrian army at the bridgehead is a little embarrassed.

The elevation angle of their artillery was obviously not raised to this level. First of all, even if they could allow the shells to cross the hill, they would definitely not hit the back of the place close to the top of the mountain!

So, a company of cavalry began to bombard the mortars in a place where they could not see the bridge. The hill was only one hundred meters away from the bridge. Otherwise, Lao Dong would not have chosen to cross the river here. As long as he occupied the hill, the enemy who wanted to capture the bridge would have to peel off a layer of skin even if he did not die.

He obviously did not expect that there were mortars in this world that were both light and could beat cows across the mountain with extremely high elevation angles.

Mortars assisted the Truqin army to easily take down the mountain, and could use half of the mountain to attack the bridgehead positions unscrupulously!

This time, Techina carried a total of 300 shells, and used about 30 when he captured the mountain. He asked someone to completely bombard the two hundred, leaving only seventy spares.

After ten rounds, the bridgehead position was already in a mess.

A mere mortar shell can naturally not cause fatal damage to the fortress, but it will cause great damage to the Austrian army inside the fortress. They also used straw bags to fill the fortress with a pile of mud, and the height was only about 1.5 meters, so they were naturally to facilitate the arrangement of artillery on it and use flintlock guns to shoot.

As for inside, there are simple tents. During the mortar bombardment just now, at least half of the defenders were killed on the spot!

Techina sent a battalion of cavalry to dispatch.

He obviously did not want to use cavalry to attack this solid position, but wanted to take advantage of the gap that the enemy still did not recover from the bombardment!

There is only five minutes at most!

A battalion of cavalry flew past just a few meters away from the fortress, and then threw out large pieces of grenades!

The cavalry of another battalion had dismounted and took advantage of this moment to cross the low wall!

"Bang..."

The gunshots sounded.

Truchen's army captured the bridgehead fortress!

The next thing is commonplace. Here we set up mortars again and bombarded the bridgeheads on the other side - the other side was safe for Laudon, because Chernovtsey had defected to Austria, so he naturally did not need to set up artillery there.

After twenty shells passed, the defenders there also ran away!

So, in less than two hours, Tiechina took down the entire bridgehead position of Laodong!

Techina arranged two companies to guard the positions on both sides of the bridge, and one company continued to guard the hill opposite, and hid in the nearby dense forest again with the remaining few cavalry.

In the evening, Tiechi, who was a little anxious, finally waited for Lao Dong.

On land where tens of thousands of people fight into a group and the battlefield is more than ten miles away, it is difficult to completely annihilate an army in the field. Although the Truqin army is a suitable force for both cavalry and infantry, it is also difficult to do.

Lao Dong finally ran here with about a battalion of cavalry and more than a thousand infantry gradually gathered at him.

The fifty-four-year-old Lao Dong looked a little sad.

If it weren't for the intrusion of the Truchens, which led to the death of another famous Austrian general, General Von Lassi, he would obviously have not achieved what he has achieved now. Now he is serving as the Governor of Transylvania in the name of the Austrian Field Marshal.

If Lasi was still there, he would not have obtained this position. The reason is very simple. His relationship with another famous general, Daun, who is a Vienna native, born in a noble family, and has a family of military generals. He is deeply trusted by Empress Dowager Maria.

Dawn is known for his goodness, while Laodong rose up with his flexibility and change, bold attacks, which formed a strong contrast among Austrian generals. Of course, Laodong is a Scottish or a Swedish nationality. If he does not do this, it will be difficult for Austria, which is very particular about his background and qualifications.

But this obviously created a gap between him and Dawn, who is a Russian and grew up in Germany. He and Dawn are like father and son. Compared with Laudon, Lassi obviously knows better how to gain a foothold in Austria.

Once Lasi died, Laudon finally became the highest commander of the Austrian Empire. This was not easy for him, because Empress Dowager Maria did not trust foreigners very much unless you were a noble family.

After losing this battle, Laudong immediately realized that his military career in Austria was over and he left the entire army's elite in Ukraine, which was unacceptable to the Austrians. Even in the tragic Seven Years' War with Prussia, the Austrians did not lose so many troops at once.

What's more, the Austrian army at that time was still centered on a few hereditary nobles, and was filled with a large number of mercenaries. The army under Laodong was a regular army recruited by the current emperor Joseph II after he came to power according to Frederick's method!

This army obviously took a lot of effort from the emperor.

Once I abandoned him in a foreign land of Ukraine, I would like to imagine the punishment I face when I went back. According to Empress Maria's usual disgust for him, it is possible to execute him.

When he thought of this, Lao Dong couldn't help but stop his horse.

When he stopped, everyone behind him stopped.

Being able to survive and successfully escape from the battle with the Truchens is obviously the elite of the Austrian army. Yes, most of them are children near Vienna. When Lao Dong looked back, he became even more confused.

However, if he surrendered, his family reputation that he had finally possessed in Vienna would be destroyed. Since he became the Imperial Field Marshal, he was officially accepted into the circle of great nobles that had been hereditary for hundreds of years.

This is essential to gain a foothold in Austria.

Thinking of this, he finally set out again.

As they approached Nagoriani, Lao Dong, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, smelled a scent of gunpowder.

"This is obviously not transmitted from our military training, is it..."

Just as I was thinking, a large number of cavalry suddenly emerged from the jungle on both sides!

After seeing the unique big-brimmed hat, Lao Dong sighed and raised the white flag without hesitation.

....

The Battle of Vinnica took place for more than two months, but it came to an abrupt end within one day.

Techinat asked the Kazimiz Cossack who arrived to guard the prisoners and guard the bridges, and returned to Vinnica with Truchen's army.

"General"

The one who is reporting to him is Alin.

"Our army won a great victory in the daytime battle. The Laodong Army had three divisions in total. One of the Austrian divisions was organized according to 12,000 people. When they confronted our army before, they were on the periphery and did not lose much, but today's battle was almost wiped out."

"The Austrian army is obviously not as brave as the Russian army. According to statistics, nearly 10,000 people died in battle, and the same number of injured people. The rest surrendered without hesitation when they saw this."

"The main casualties of our army were caused in the hedge against their cavalry. About two battalions of cavalry were seriously injured and died, and one battalion of cavalry was slightly injured"

"In Laodong's big tent, we found a large amount of property, which was obviously all stolen from the countryside, and many of them were covered with blood."

"Okay", Techina is not interested in the possible property he may obtain. Now he is one of the big families of the Truqin Kingdom. What he needs is his own achievements and reputation.

"Where are other battlefields?"

"General, the Ministry of Justice is about to report this matter. Shortly after you left, General Deng Ce passed the latest news"

"The three divisions of His Highness Vobasi who were trapped in three cities in Eastern Ukraine did not cross the Dnieper River, but took over the voluntary surrender of Zaporoze, and then approached Donetsk, making a stance to enter Voronesh Province to pursue Peter III."

"And His Majesty's Guards were nominally heading to Chalizin, but they turned around halfway and quickly arrived at the Dnieper River. After getting on the boat from Zaporoze, they rushed upstream"

"Now they should be near Betzelkovi in ​​Kiev Province"

"So our army may have compressed Frederick and Suvorov's coalition forces in Uman Province?"
Chapter completed!
