Chapter 64 Keszthely
Arriving at Balgrade, with the warm autumn breeze blowing on my face, I couldn't help but smile when I heard Pennywise's question as I got off the horse.
"If the water wants to flood, it has to flow to a lower place. My secretary, why are you so stupid?"
Pennywise covered her head with the sun hat and said angrily: "You are the idiot! I don't know who asked me to help him finish "The Flight of the Valkyrie" a few days ago. God is really partial.
How dare you, an idiot like you who can’t even play the piano, come up with such a beautiful piece of music!”
"So, a genius is a genius. Compared with a stupid lady like you, I am certainly more powerful!" I said without blushing.
"Don't ever say I'm stupid again! Careful if I tell Feletelia that I completed "Flight of the Valkyrie" and "Wagner"! Hum, let's see what she thinks of you taking all the credit for yourself.
There is such a thing!”
"I think my Philetria will express it very tactfully. It turns out that the charm is so bad. It was you, Pennywise, who made up for it."
"Ouch! Ignore you!!"

As for how to defeat the French embankment breach, my method is to pull the army to higher altitude areas. In the Danube Plain, since there are Carpathian Mountains to the east, the Alps to the west, and the Balkan Peninsula to the southwest.
, the farther out you go in the middle reaches of the Danube, the higher the terrain becomes. As long as you don't go north along the river, there will be no danger of the French breaking the embankments and flooding the Seventh Army.
However, after leaving the water source of the Danube River, another problem arises. That is how to solve the problem of water sources. People can go without food for seven days, but cannot go without drinking water for three days. Water is so important. In history, the army was dismissed because of the lack of water sources.
There are many examples of failed military battles, such as the Celestial Dynasty’s Ma Di’s Lost Street Pavilion and the Crusaders’ Battle of Hazhen.
Since several wars have pointed out the military's serious dependence on water sources, once I leave the water sources, where will the nearly 100,000 people under my command go to drink water?
In fact, this is not difficult to solve. There is a place called Keszthely, more than 100 kilometers southwest of Budapest. There is a tributary of the Danube River there. The source of the river comes from the foot of the Alps. The river winds for hundreds of miles and crosses several rivers.
The mountain peaks extend into the empire. Several lakes were formed during the period, and armies could be stationed there.
At this point in the entire combat plan, it is time to hold off the French for a while so that we can move in the planned direction.
I collected materials for building a bridge at Balgrade. At the same time, I detached all the light cavalry and handed them over to a corps commander. The order was to gallop towards the right bank of Budapest at night. The reason for doing this was to pass this
This series of actions showed the French spies and spies here that we were preparing to raid the upper reaches of the Danube River and build bridges to make the French think that we were building bridges to cross the river. But in fact, I was building plank roads in the open and secretly hiding in Chencang.
When the French were ready and waiting for me to go north, I fired a false shot and asked the cavalry to withdraw and go south, and then join us at Keszthely.
A few days before the start of the plan, everything went smoothly until we crossed the mountain and rushed towards Keszthely.
Trouble began to arise.
These troubles did not mean that the French discovered us, but that the transport vehicles of the artillery and the heavy forces began to fail.
The reason for this reason is that in my expectation, because it is walking in the mountains and excessive load, coupled with continuous use, it is natural for those wooden trucks and ropes.
Preparation of equipment can allow soldiers to repair locally. However, those infantry and cavalry are okay, and the frame of the cannon can barely keep up with the speed, but those heavy cars gradually show signs of being behind
Stop the road of the carriage in the back.
Today, the army is hundreds of kilometers away from France, but it can be regarded as marching under the eyelids of the French. There seems to be disconnected in the army.
Cursing the poor quality of their vehicles by the logistics department.
In the face of this situation, I quickly ordered all troops to stop moving forward.
Bulletin is one of our few advantages than the French. In addition to raising heavy vehicles, there are also many ammunition. It is impossible to abandon them.
So, soldiers carry them!
I issued such an order, removed the cargo on the damaged heavy car, pushed the heavy car to the side, and gave it to those damaged heavy cars, and handed it to the soldiers of the guards to carry it.
Give it to the cannon to drag, and the quality of the cannon frame created by the military factory should be able to overload some weight in a short time.
As a result, even the heavy artillery frame with a caliber of 12 pounds either a carriage behind, or a few bulky boxes on the ammunition box with the ammunition box.
Going to a car or a cart, this has made the artillery not slow down, but it is still a lot better than being stuck in the road with a heavy carriage.
The night quickly came to the vast land in the Danube Plain. Before the French reacted, we galloped to this place of Corster Hiyi.
The infantry process was okay throughout the marching process, but they were trained. They were newly collected artillery. They often sat on the horse and marched. This time, there was such a long road.
Compared to the sad artillery, the newly conquered cavalry was not very good. Sitting on the horse's back for so long, when turning over the horse, many people need to summon their companions to help them get off the horse.
The worst, even if they fell off the horse, the first thing they dismounted was to take off the chest armor on their bodies. The things that made them look prestigious were tortured their shoulders for a long time.
I can't go anywhere myself. Although I said that sitting on the carriage, the carriage in this world has no shock absorbing technology. Therefore, I came all the way, and my face was embarrassed.
It is undeniable that the continuous long -distance army is originally a very tiring thing. For recruits, the long -distance army army is a terrible thing. After such continuous long -distance trek, the army will temporarily lose its combat power.
These troops are engaged in fighting, so if they can play one -third of the usual combat effectiveness, even if God is blessed. If unfortunately encounter the enemy's raid, then these troops will explain all of them.
But in order to achieve my goal, I had to take risks. Generally speaking, the infantry troops still maintain sufficient physical strength and morale. Among so many legions, the artillery and cavalry of the Thirty-third Spartan Legion have performed well.
Not bad, worthy of being the main battle regiment of the empire.
"Commonen Army Commander, please go and investigate the surrounding areas according to the plan and make defensive arrangements."
"As you command! Prince!"
After Comnenus left, Pennywise got out of the carriage. She held the door and covered her mouth with one hand. She made several attempts to vomit but couldn't. Then her body went limp.
She almost fell to the ground, but luckily I caught her quickly with my quick eyesight.
"I told you not to come, but you decided to come. Now it's better. You are still a young lady, and you have already experienced what it is like for a lady to be pregnant."
In the past, Pennywise would have had to refute me angrily immediately, but now, after a lot of trouble, she didn't even have the strength to answer me, and just kept lying in my arms.
After several breaths, she seemed to have recovered a little, but she was still very weak: "I just like it, do you care? Also, I remember what you just said, don't think that I am weak now, I just
There's nothing I can do. When I recover, you'll be happy to see me!"
I smiled helplessly: "The battlefield is where we men should stay, why do you need to suffer along with us?"
