Paskovich's violent offensive lasted for a whole week. During this week, the Russian army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, but the results were mediocre. They only removed some strongholds and fortresses, and were still far from fully opening up the mountain pass.
far away.
I have to say that this was another mistake of Paskovich. He was so greedy that he covered the thousands of mountains of Balkha with 100,000 troops and peppered them, preparing to advance on multiple roads and plow the Hungarians.
Comb it through.
This directly led to the fact that the Russian army seemed to be aggressive, but there were not too many troops at each key point. Although Hungary had a small number of people, its favorable terrain and solid fortresses were enough to offset the Russian army's surging attack.
Although the Hungarians lost some positions and were forced back step by step, there was no danger of the embankment collapsing.
If Paskovich hadn't been so greedy for perfection, the effect of concentrating his forces to attack a few key passes might have been completely different. But who knows that this guy is a pure-bred Russian, accustomed to solving problems in the way of a fighting nation?
.
Therefore, the battle in the north will continue to be tangled and will not stop until the Hungarians are exhausted or the Russian blood is drained.
On the front line in Bratislava, Gergey Artur's forward troops marched reluctantly towards Vienna. Thousands of people marched out in a posture of tens of thousands of people.
Judging from the morale, these young men are really confident. They firmly believe that they can liberate Vienna.
However, their commander did not have such strong confidence. On the contrary, Gergey Artur's first priority was defense. When the forward troops set off, he ordered the construction of a fortified defense in Bratislava.
The defense line has no intention of moving forward at all.
This was undoubtedly contrary to Kossuth's order, but Kossuth didn't know all this. He was busy arguing with the parliament in Pest and arguing with the defense committee, and he really didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to specific commands.
Moreover, he felt that since he had given the order, Gergey Artur would obediently execute it, and he did not expect that someone would play tricks.
This was undoubtedly a huge mistake. Because of Kossuth's negligence and Gergey Artur's obedience, they missed an opportunity. When Mrs. Gergey Artur's vanguard brigade arrived at the outskirts of Vienna, they achieved
Unexpected effect!
Not only did it catch Windisch Gratz off guard, it also gave a huge encouragement to the revolutionaries in Vienna. They once despaired and saw hope. They began to burn themselves again and fought bravely against the Austrian army. At one time, they regained a lot of
Lost ground.
If Gergey Artur fully carried out Kossuth's order and attacked Vienna not with a small force but with his main force, the effect would undoubtedly be better. It might be more difficult to relieve Vienna, but defeating Windisch
Gretz was caught off guard, and it was entirely possible to eliminate part of his vitality.
But the opportunity was missed. Windischgratz immediately made adjustments, gradually repelling Gergey Artur's vanguard brigade, and strengthened surveillance of the periphery. Next time, he wanted to take it completely by surprise.
It's impossible.
What’s more interesting is that both Kossuth and Gergey Artur seem to be quite satisfied with the result. The former believes that Gergey Artur has carried out his intention well and verified Austria’s success.
People are just paper tigers. If only the vanguard can achieve such success, then the main force that follows will not win in one fell swoop when it comes to the decisive battle.
As for the latter, Gergey Artur believed that he had implemented Kossuth's instructions. Facts have proved that attacking Vienna is unrealistic and impossible, so now it is urgent to return to the topic and defend well.
Based on different understandings, the two men started acting according to their own ideas. Kossuth thought that Gergey Artur was executing his orders, while Gergey Artur thought that Kossuth would give up.
Those unrealistic ideas.
Neither of them took the initiative to communicate, and then they just went about their own business. When they met again, they suddenly discovered that this was not the case at all, and then they had a lot of fun.
On the other side, Windischgrätz's life became increasingly difficult. Although he repelled Gergey Artur's vanguard, it still dealt a heavy blow to his military reputation. Because of the related combat deployment
It's all his fault. If something goes wrong, he will be spanked.
Originally, he had suffered a loss from his boss because of the abolition of Li Li, but this time he received another blow, and his head was buzzing. If he hadn't still been able to hold on, he would have resigned directly to apologize.
That night, Windisch Graetz stared at the map of Vienna alone and kept drinking. The indescribable depression weighed heavily on her heart, making it difficult to breathe.
"General, we have driven away the enemy, and in accordance with your order, we have strengthened reconnaissance and surveillance around Vienna. We will never make similar mistakes again!"
Wendy Schreitz nodded dullly and waved his hand to send the adjutant away. To be honest, he didn't care much about what the adjutant just said, because some mistakes are irreparable and irreparable. As long as you make a mistake once
, there will be no second chance.
Obviously, this is what he is like today. His reputation has been declining, and now he has made such a big mistake. What will the outside world say about him and how will he be viewed?
Wendy Schretz shook her glass and murmured: "You must be mocking me again, haha, you are really a big idiot!"
It can be imagined how disheartened and demoralized Windischgrätz was at this time. If no one had helped him, this all-powerful dignitary would have collapsed like this.
But don't worry, the warm little cotton-padded jacket arranged by Prince Alexander Gorchakov will come soon. With him, Wendy Schretz will quickly come out of the shadows and regain her vitality!
"My old friend, it's been so long, why are you still drinking?"
Accompanied by a sharp and ear-piercing laugh like a night owl, a man with triangular eyes, a hooked nose, and a thin cheek walked into Wendy Schgratz's study. He seemed to be very familiar with Wendy Schgratz, and he didn't look out of place as soon as he entered the door.
He snatched the wine glass and bottle from Wendy Schretz's hand, and stood there looking down at him with great aura!
"You...why are you here?"
Wendy Schgrätz was stunned at first, and then felt very embarrassed, as if she was a child who was caught secretly smoking...
