Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 2628 Wind and Flowers (7)
Although the wedding of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI was the "diplomatic revolution" of the Marquis of Choiseul, another contributor was Frederick the Great. The performance of Prussia during the Seven Years War made France and the Holy Roman Empire Hard to fight alone.
However, while Prussia was victorious, battle losses also appeared at the same time, especially the Battle of Zondorf, which not only profoundly affected Europeans' views on the Russian army in the 18th century.
This battle is recognized as the most brutal and bloody war in the Seven Years' War. Russia sent 40,000 troops, but half of the Russian army was a "reserve army" captured temporarily, which was far inferior to that led by Frederick the Great. Only after experiencing the great victories of the Battle of Leutau and the Battle of Rosbach, more than 30,000 Prussian elites with high morale.
Austria, as an anti-Prussian alliance, also sent troops, so the commander of the campaign had 80,000 horses, almost three times that of Frederick.
Every morning at five o'clock in the morning, the church near the battlefield would ring, and the anti-Prussian coalition forces took it as a signal to launch an attack. The weather and terrain that day were favorable to the Austrians, the stars in the sky were dim, and even fog. After the Austrians left the camp, they kept the camp and kept the campfire burning. The engineers made as much noise as possible, felled trees to build fortifications, and created all kinds of illusions to deceive the Prussian sentry. The sleeping Prussian barracks advanced.
The 2 Liberty Battalions were raided, followed by the 3 Grenadier Battalions, but they were better than the Liberty Battalions. When the Austrians rushed out of the morning fog, some Prussian soldiers had grabbed their rifles, but there were still people in the tents. Li was stabbed to death with a bayonet. The gunners arrived at their positions as quickly as possible, fired and loaded, but most of the shells were wasted in the uninhabited area shrouded in morning fog.
The sound of the guns made the sleepy Prussian soldiers gather instinctively, and then they rushed to the battlefield under the leadership of the officers. At first Frederick thought it was an ordinary raid, until the 12-pound guns in the fortress fired, and he roared in search of his horses.
At dawn, the morning fog dissipated, and the good vision allowed both the enemy and us to distinguish who was fighting to the death. At this time, the church that rang the bell was surrounded by flames, and the roofs of the villagers' huts were set on fire by whom. The cemetery became a battlefield, and the villagers who had no time to run were either burned to death by the fire, or escaped under the hail of bullets. At about 6 o'clock, the Prussians cleared the entire village and rushed out from the other side of the village, but they were greeted by Austrian artillery and bayonets.
After the initial rush had passed, the Prussians lost all momentum and were routed under a disciplined salvo of artillery by the Austrians, who even got supplies, abandoned by Prussian soldiers who had just been busy fleeing.
At this moment the King himself came out, assembled the regiments of infantry shaken by the sight of the rout, and then, under Major Langan, repelled the allied attack until the ammunition ran out.
But instead of retreating, the major ordered his men to mount their bayonets and launched a desperate charge in an attempt to regain lost ground.
The Prussians' hopes of victory were dashed with the major's mortal wound, but they bought Frederick time to form a new front north of the village, but it was only a few defeated soldiers and survivors from the morning's rout. collection point only.
There were 10,000 cavalrymen under Frederick's flag, while the Russian army had only about 3,000 cavalrymen. In order to inspire the army and prevent the soldiers from fleeing, the Russian commander ordered all soldiers to drink vodka before the battle began.
At nine o'clock in the morning, when the Prussian artillery began to suppress the firing, the Russian Cossack cavalry took the lead.
Under normal battlefield conditions, cavalry cannot crush unwavering infantry on their own, not to mention that there were no heavy infantry in the 18th century. But the Prussian artillery has a characteristic. They regard shooting as a science, and they don't like their superiors asking them to constantly change gun positions. They think this will disrupt their accurate calculation of range and trajectory.
The range of the 12-pound gun is enough, but it is not easy to move. It is usually placed in fortresses and fortresses. This has caused Prussian artillery to participate in a mobile and flexible battle. It took a long time to move artillery from one place to another, which resulted in artillery only playing a supporting role in high-speed moving battles.
In this way, the Prussian infantry became the core force on the battlefield. The morning attack caused Prussia's morale to almost collapse, and it was on the verge of no war. However, the Prussian cavalry, especially the cavalry commanded by Prince Moritz, still had combat effectiveness. They collided fiercely with the Cossack cavalry brigade. And successfully defeated the Cossacks, allowing the Prussian right wing to attack the Russian left wing without any scruples.
Then came "the bloodiest land battle of the 18th century". Alcohol seemed to make it difficult for the Russians to subdue them. The Prussians fought back with a solid formation. The hand-to-hand combat made the Prussian infantry consume too much energy in the fierce battle. The Russian corpses were piled up layer after layer, and shells and bullets were constantly sprinkled, but they were of no use at all, and they just didn't retreat.
Until 8 o'clock in the evening, the sky was dusk, and both sides decided to withdraw after the truce and organize their troops. Casualties were heavy on both sides, with more than 10,000 Russian and 13,000 Prussian soldiers killed, wounded, or missing. The ferocity of Russia shocked even the most hard-hearted veterans of Frederick's camp.
Georgiana remembers a German song about a young mother who wanted to go out and play, but she had to stay and take care of her son, and she complained and looked at him in the cradle whenever he smiled at her. I feel very satisfied and no longer want to go out to play.
She also remembered the "History of the Goths" written by the Byzantines. In it, there was a battle of Sharon. The two sides in the battle were the Huns and Visigoths led by Attila. Vocabulary, and feel that this hand-to-hand combat that seems to come from ancient times is a miracle even if you have watched it from the sidelines. The blood flowed from the wound of the deceased so much that a low stream began to rise.
It was also the battle of Cao Endorf that made a poet write "Ode to the Battlefield".
Along the blood of the murderer,
I climbed up the hill carefully.
dead bodies everywhere,
The survivors stood up,
Stretch your neck, look carefully, search carefully.
The battlefield is full of smoke,
Choose him as the anointed one.
Maybe because she is a woman after all, she can't feel that such a scene is "magnificent" or "sacred". She will only stand in the position of the young mother and cry with her.
She had seen the Mamluks fighting up close, when a group of forest robbers planned to attack her, and after a brief silence, the Mamluks let out shrill cheers, which sounded full of wildness, or wolves worshiped by the Turks.
Napoleon's new artillery abandoned the 12-pound gun and replaced it with two 6-pound guns. Their range was shorter, but their mobility was improved. From 1802 to 1803, the French steel industry, which accounted for 1% of the French GDP, mainly That's what it does.
Importing British steel made up for civilian needs that were delayed due to military industry, and in Jefferson's letter of protest to Napoleon, he mentioned that the United States "must" transport the iron ingots it mined to Britain to make Britain's "machines" run.
That is to say, the greater the production in the UK, the greater the supply from the US.
Prussia took iron and blood as the foundation of its country, and unified Germany from top to bottom through the iron and blood policy.
Bonaparte was different from Frederick the Great in that he rose from the grassroots, and there was even a song satirizing him, "The first soldier to be a king is lucky."
The Stein-Hardenberg reforms in Prussia accomplished from the top down what France did from the bottom up.
The bottom is the same as the top, and the top is the same as the bottom, and the miracle of "oneness" is fulfilled accordingly.
On the Western Front battlefield between France and Prussia, Archduke Ferdinand confuses the French with the "cloak and sword" method of warfare. This method of warfare is like a Spanish matador, using a cloak to tease a bull, consume its energy, and wait for it to slump When rushing over, use the sword to end the life of the cow.
It's a pity that not everyone can understand Bonaparte, and he can't tell all the people about his plan, because once things are revealed, the "red cloak" will not work.
If she wasn't a woman, she might be happy to watch.
But she also knows how much a person is, not to mention that when the body recovers, the heart will leave scars that cannot heal. There are many homeless people on the streets of Paris who used to be soldiers. After all they have experienced, they cannot return to normal life went.
She sympathizes with those people, just as she sympathizes with Snape who fell in a pool of blood before dawn, she hopes he can live, or like a warrior chosen by Valkyrie, they will give the chosen one a kiss, Then lead its undead into Valhalla, and live happily in all ideal ways in the palace of the God of War.
Six years have passed in a blink of an eye. Legend has it that the warriors chosen by Valkyrie will join Odin in Ragnarok. They are not going to heaven to enjoy endless joy.
Georgiana took up her pen.
Frederick, after the great loss of infantrymen and regimental officers, went all out to replenish his decimated army, ruthlessly sifted the young and convalescents of the Prussian states, and even Both Pomerania and Saxony were raided mercilessly, using all means necessary to round up numbers.
Napoleon also imitated this idol to plunder France and other occupying countries. Thanks to France, which experienced the baby boom of the Great Revolution, otherwise, no small European country could afford him to do so.
In "Lord of the Rings", the tyrant Sauron's army is composed of strong orcs. These evil creations were peeped by Saruman through the crystal. He created an army of mixed half-orc and Goblin blood in Isinger.
And Grindelwald, who plans to use the Inferi created by the Resurrection Stone to form an army.
These are all very fast, unlike a person who needs more than ten years or even longer to grow from a baby to an adult.
'My Lion' she wrote by this title, 'at a banquet I heard a German say that the Great Revolution was a historical necessity, a triumph of reason over ill-governed rulers. There was a German named Kant who believed that enlightenment was the escape of human beings from the immaturity they imposed on themselves. Immaturity consists not in a lack of reason, but in a lack of courage and determination to use one's own reason without the guidance of others. Have the courage to use your intellect, that was the watchword of the Enlightenment. What I want to say to you is, overcome yourself, not because you are immature, but because your worst enemy is yourself. '
She paused when she wrote this, and wanted to scratch "my lion".
Later, I wanted to tear up the whole letter.
But she continued to write, after all, she felt that she finally made a good start.
