The morning light slowly opened the curtain, and the blood stained the earth red, complementing the red lanterns rising from the east.
The war has come to an end, Austrian soldiers in twos and threes are cleaning the battlefield, and a group of prisoners are escorted from time to time, proving who is the victor of this war.
Grighi ordered: "Dispose of the enemy's corpses as soon as possible, we don't have so many priests in our army to send them off!"
The summer of 1848 came very early. The temperature rose to 32°C in May. In order to avoid the plague, the corpses had to be burned.
…
The raging fire began to burn, and a group of priests came out of the captives to participate in the farewell ceremony, and Grighi did not stop them.
Faith in continental Europe is an inescapable topic, and giving the deceased the most basic respect is the basic moral integrity that nobles should have.
While saying goodbye to the enemy, the Austrian army also said goodbye to its comrades. Seeing the familiar young men buried in the soil, Grighi's good mood fell silent.
As soon as he succeeded, his bones were exhausted, and the battle last night went very smoothly. Even so, the Austrian army still paid a heavy price.
Nearly a regiment of troops was wiped out, especially the more than 800 people who participated in the raiding team. Less than half of them survived, including 100 wounded.
The casualties were heavy, and the results of the battle were astonishing. More than 3,000 enemy soldiers were killed, more than 7,000 enemy soldiers were captured, and several supplies were seized, winning the biggest victory since the outbreak of the war.
With the victory of the Battle of Trento, the situation on the Venetian battlefield has also undergone earth-shaking changes, and the true face of the Sardinian army's lack of combat effectiveness has been revealed.
The Austrian army in the confrontation was greatly encouraged, and many generals were gearing up to look for opportunities to fight.
Trento was an important part of the war in Venice, and it was only when Marshal Bardorio deployed a lot of troops. Other places did not have such good luck.
The Battle of Trento became a turning point in the Osa War. After the battle, the offensive and defensive trend was reversed, and the Austrian army set off a wave of counter-offensive.
…
The Sardinian army headquarters, Major General Mantua reported: "Your Excellency Marshal, the current situation is very unfavorable for us. The Papal Army is retreating and has left the battlefield. It seems that they are preparing to withdraw from this war.
The Tuscans had entered an ostrich state after suffering a crushing defeat in the past few days, and now they are stationed in Brescia, 50 kilometers away from the battlefield.
Even if we want to fight the enemy, we still have to travel for two days, and now we are fighting alone. "
Marshal Bardorio frowned, parallel imports are parallel imports, and his military literacy is simply not enough to command so many troops to fight.
Not only him, but in the entire Sardinian Kingdom army, there is no general who can control an army of 200,000 troops.
There is no way, the famous generals are all played on the battlefield. The Sardinian Kingdom's standing army was only 20,000 to 30,000, and the highest-ranking front-line officers were only at the division commander level.
He was suddenly promoted to the commander of the group army. To command 20 times the number of troops to fight, anyone needs a process of adaptation.
At present, Marshal Bardorio is still adapting. Since the Battle of Venice, there have been various degrees of chaos in the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia, making him exhausted.
Rubbing his forehead, Marshal Bardorio said, "For now, don't discipline the Papal Army. Now that the Papal State has changed, they can't care about this war.
The Tuscans now have only one regiment left, which is already a dispensable existence in this war.
If it's not politically necessary, I don't mind letting them get out of here right away, lest they stay and waste food! "
Obviously, Marshal Bardorio harbored deep resentment towards these two allied troops who did not obey orders, and now he has completely lost confidence in them.
"Marshal, marshal, something is bad!" the guard said excitedly
Bardolio glared in the direction of the voice, deep in his heart, the panicked guard had already been sentenced to death, and he was already contemplating where he was going to throw this ignorant bastard to eat. The soil is good.
"Speak slowly, the sky hasn't fallen yet!"
The guard tried his best to calm down and said, "Marshal, there is news from the front line that our troops besieging Trento were attacked by the enemy last night. Now they have suffered heavy losses. General Messi is withdrawing to Bergamo!"
As soon as the words fell, the baton in the hands of Marshal Bardorio was thrown out, hitting the forehead of the unfortunate guard.
Before the guards could react, Marshal Bardorio had already rushed over, grabbed him by the collar, and asked murderously, "How is this possible, are you sure you didn't lie about the military situation?"
At this time, the guards were about to urinate, and he finally understood why the good job of reporting the military situation to the marshal this time would fall on him.
The guard said nervously: "Marshal, these are the battle reports from the front line. We have sent someone to verify them, and they are absolutely accurate!"
Hearing this answer, Marshal Bardorio became even more angry. He pushed the guard to the ground with a palm, looked at him with murderous eyes, and said fiercely, "Why didn't you report it in advance?"
The guards were lying on the ground stupidly at a loss, reporting in advance? The authenticity is uncertain, the size of the loss is uncertain, what should I report here
Could it be that the front line may suffer a major defeat and the army may suffer heavy losses? The specific number of casualties is between 0 and 30,000
Looking at the murderous Marshal Bardorio, everyone tacitly chose to watch from the sidelines, even if they all wanted to find out what happened on the front line and why General Messi was defeated.
After venting his anger, Marshal Badorio slowly slowed down, suppressed his emotions, and continued: "Waste, don't dare to get up for me!"
These are two young officers with quick eyes and quick hands, who quickly put up the overwhelmed guard.
"Tell me, what happened on the front line? Could it be that idiot Messer, three divisions still can't defeat a single regiment of the enemy?" Bardolio asked
The number of infantry divisions in the Sardinian Kingdom's army is not large, and it has increased after the expansion, and it is basically between 8,500 and 12,000 people.
No matter how small this organization is, it is an absolute advantage for an Austrian regiment of more than 2,000 people, and there is no possibility of a comeback.
The guard said terrified: "Marshal, we have been fooled. The enemy has more than one regiment in Trento. It was initially judged that there were at least five infantry divisions, and we failed!"
There is no doubt that this is a lie about military intelligence. Killing General Messer, he did not dare to say that the enemy only had three regiments, which meant going to court-martial.
