Strangely, when Techna arrived at the outskirts of Czestochova with an army, he did not immediately attack the Prussian Northern Polish Legion outside, but instead set up a camp about five miles away from them.

The camp is not like the past, so that it can support each other, but rely on a small hill to stick together.

This made the Prussians unpredictable.

"It's not obvious that we can take the initiative to attack"

However, this was exactly what they wanted. When the Techina army started, its Silesian army also started, and it was very fast.

At the same time, the East Prussian Legion stationed on the east bank of the Vistula River also crossed the river and ran towards the city of Rhodes at a fast speed, obviously trying to replace the North Polish Legion's attack on Rhodes as soon as possible in order to restrain the army of Kazimiz.

After learning the news, Tiechina still held her troops.

About three days later, Kazimiri, who was trapped in Rhodzcheng, received news from Techina.

"Don't leave the city, keep staying in the city"

At this time, the Silesian Legion and the Northern Polish Legion were already close to the city of Czestochova. Seeing that the Truqin Army did not come out to interfere, they simply used the power of about 80,000 troops to surround the Second Army.

The war has officially begun.

It was similar to Techi's expectation. They set up three camps about four miles outside their camp. Except for the side close to Czestochova, there was no camp and position on the other three sides.

In this way, they surrounded the Second Army of Techina under the eyes of the Truqin people!

Although Techina sat and watched the enemy surrounded him, the place he chose was of particular importance. This place was actually three connected hills, roughly in the shape of a Pin character, with rivers passing through in the middle - even if there was no river, the snow layer all over the mountains could prevent his troops from falling into a state of hunger.

The artillery bombardment war between the two sides began. Although the Prussian artillery technology had been expected to be further improved, they actually reached the level of four miles in such a short time - you should know that the twelve-pound bronze cannons in Europe in Napoleon's era were only about four miles.

It is conceivable that under the leadership of Truchen, European technology has also begun to show a rapid development trend.

However, at this time, the Truqin cannon had 30% of the 12-centimeter field cannons that had been changed to rifled guns. Their accuracy and range had already reached about five miles!

As mentioned earlier, at this time, a brigade of the Truqin Empire had an artillery battalion, an engineering battalion, and a baggage battalion, in order to allow the troops of a brigade to have the ability to fight independently. Techina had nine brigades, which were nine artillery battalions.

At present, near the three hills, a layer of artillery has been arranged on the outer positions of the camp, and there are three artillery battalions near each hill.

The Truchens' artillery battalion did not need to carry a large amount of ammunition like the European army. They only needed to carry ammunition on the gun stand, and the remaining ammunition was in the baggage battalion. Even so, ten people were required to be responsible for a twelve centimeter standard field artillery.

There are 300 people in an artillery battalion, and these are thirty field artillery!

Of course, it is impossible for these 300 people to use them to control field guns. In fact, there are only twenty ones arranged, and ten of them are backed up. In addition, there are also a large number of mortars and short-barrel cannons that need to be manipulated.

Nine battalions are one hundred and eighty field artillery!

Sixty gates in each direction, which was rare in Truchen's previous battles.

At this moment, the artillery of both sides was bombarded.

For the Truchens, they could hit the opponent's artillery position further away, but they did not do so. They only trained the gun glasses and rulers to make their maximum range reach four miles.

The total number of artillery artillery in the Prussian army on the opposite side is obviously far greater than that of Truchen, and each side has twice the firepower!

However, Truchen has long abandoned solid bullets and used grenades in large quantities. However, the Prussians obviously did not have such luxury. They only used about 30% of howitzers, and the rest were solid bullets!

The Truqin Army was considerate in protecting the gun positions. They set up a low wall made of straw bags in front of each cannon. In this way, once the enemy's solid shells flew over and hit the low wall, they could absorb a lot of impact.

There is also a low wall in front of the artillery. After the artillery position is adjusted, you can pull the fuse from behind the low wall to detonate the shells, allowing them to snatch the chamber.

Although the Prussians were proud of Europe in artillery, they did not think so much.

The Prussians carried so many artillery, you can imagine how many civilians needed to escort solid bullets and gunpowder. Their two troops seemed to have less than 80,000 people, but there were obviously more than 100,000 people on the battlefield!

It seems that Frederick's so-called "staying neutral" is completely a conspiracy, but it was discovered by the Truchens.

Yet, for Europeans, it was like facing the Mongols hundreds of years ago, they rarely united. As for the British, they have always claimed to be "British people", people from the islands, not mainlanders, so they are naturally not listed here.

The artillery fire preparations took about half a day, half a day of preparations, which was common for the Truchens, but for the Prussians, they had to grit their teeth and persevere. Their weak industrial capacity was not enough to support such an offensive, but they just felt that the opportunity was rare and they were rushing to do it.

During artillery fire, both sides were using telescopes to observe movements. Since both sides bombarded the opponent's artillery positions, the focus of observation was obviously that their side destroyed several artillery pieces, killed many artillery pieces, and then caused the opponent's artillery pieces to lose their combat effectiveness.

Half a day of artillery fire preparations were not available in Europe before. In the past, they could bombard the city for several days in siege wars, but it was intermittent, and the number of artillery that could be used to siege was also very small.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Duoduo attacked Yangzhou City, the main force had been in the process of several months. The big red cannon weighing tens of thousands of pounds arrived late, and there were only two, but it was only with these two red cannons that broke through Yangzhou City.

Half a day later, from Truchen, since the ones they used were grenades or shotguns, not only destroyed a large number of artillery, but also estimated that the casualty rate of the opponent's artillery was as high as more than 80%!

However, from the perspective of Prussia, there seems to be a difference. Half a day later, only about 10% of the Truqin cannons were still bombarding!

Opportunities must not be missed.

This is exactly the case for the Prussians. When the opponent has only a dozen cannons still firing, it is too thin to cover the width of about five miles near each hill. If you don't take the opportunity to attack, once Truchen's reinforcements arrive, you will have no chance to win.

The Prussian army was dispatched, and they used cavalry to press the formation behind, and the infantry rushed over like a tide!

Truchen's heavy mortar was only 300 kilograms, which could be hit 500 meters away. However, this time they did not do this, but instead put a large number of enemies in, and kept it around 300 meters!

As mentioned earlier, the distance between the two sides is four miles. When rushing here, it is impossible to return unless there are a large number of casualties that occur in a short time, let alone the army trained by the first generation of iron-blooded king Frederick.

Speaking of military discipline, except Truchen in Europe, there are the strongest ones in Prussia. When they reach 300 meters, Truchen's position remained unchanged.

The Prussians naturally knew that the Truchens also had a large number of mortars and short-barrel artillery, but that thing was obviously impossible to kill a large amount of enemies that were almost about to pounce on the position.

"Boom!"

Mortars arranged at the foot of the mountain have begun to bombard.

It seems to confirm the Prussians' ideas. Mortars are sparse. Although the power of the explosion in the crowd is amazing, the Prussian infantry still surges like a tide.

When they reached a range of 100 meters, Techina at the top of the mountain finally saw the Prussian infantry rushing in front. They saw that the flintlock rifles in their hands were indeed not ordinary, because they could shoot while walking. It was obvious that they used the Minnie rifle that could be rear-loaded and quickly loaded!

At this time, behind the field guns, the second position between the two field guns was also a short-barrel artillery on a low wall and began to bombard!

The Truchens have given up the first line and left all the bulky field guns alone at the front!

However, at this time, all the short-barrel artillery loaded were shotguns, and the distance between each two field guns was fifty meters. The distance between the short-barrel artillery position and the field gun position was only ten meters away. When the short-barrel artillery sprayed a shotgun, the maximum barrage caused was about forty meters wide.

At the distance of ten meters, the barrage was obviously not forty meters, so when the Prussian infantry rushed to the field artillery position, they were severely hit.

However, although Truchen is advanced in technology, it still takes time to load artillery. Moreover, when Prussia rushed to the front with the Minnie gun and approached the field artillery position, it could also rely on the low walls that originally guarded the field artillery.

Soon, while the Truqin army was loading short-barrel artillery, Prussian infantry rushed over from the gap between the field artillery!

At this time, the Prussian soldiers behind began to urge their horses to drag their still-usable field guns and began to move forward slowly. Obviously, they wanted the artillery fire to extend forward.

"Bang..."

The rifle in the hands of the Truchen soldiers behind the low wall was fired. If this alone was used, it would be obvious that it would be difficult for them to withstand such a large number of enemies. Truchen's continuous rifle was equipped with three consecutive shots, and each shot was required to pull the bolt.

At this time, the Prussians used Minnie guns to shoot from time to time under the cover of low walls of field artillery, which would make Truchen soldiers dare not appear at will.

Five meters!

Seeing that the enemy was about to rush to the position, suddenly another strange gunfire sounded, and there were naturally a large number of grenades accompanied by this sound!

This strange sound naturally came from the Truqin army that had been equipped with a long time ago, but there was no water-cooled heavy machine gun!

It was still Maxim's standard. The gun weighed fifty kilograms and needed two people to carry it away. This machine gun required three people to take care of him. In addition to bullets, it required cooling water on the side at all times.

In addition to the heavy machine guns in the short-barrel artillery position, the mortars, short-barrel artillery and heavy machine guns arranged on the hillside began to intensively strike the enemy behind the field artillery position. At this time, the short-barrel artillery was used as a mortar, while the heavy machine gun used the mode of shooting from the sky to cause a dense rain of bullets.

At this time, when the enemy saw that the opponent's artillery position was destroyed, if they wanted to win the battle, they had to invest a large amount of troops at once to move forward. The two armies, at least half of their troops were dispatched!

There is about one division's force near each mountain. When looking at the top of the mountain, the scene of 10,000 troops rushing towards ants in a dense crowd is still very shocking.
