Xiao Jie saw that everyone was throwing trouble to him, and thought to himself: You really treat yourself as free labor. Damn, after the war is over, you must ask for some benefits from them, otherwise you will lose a lot. How many brain cells will be killed or injured.
In fact, when he learned that the Fifth Army's attack failed, he was thinking about a solution. In this era, weapons are not very advanced, and it should be said that they are still in the transitional stage of cold weapons and hot weapons. It is really troublesome to deal with this kind of fortress. It would be great if there was that kind of large siege cannon, Xiao Jie couldn't help thinking like this. But even under these traffic conditions, they couldn't transport it. That thing is too heavy. It would be great if there were train guns, but in this situation, there are neither trains nor guns. Xiao Jie couldn't help thinking that train guns must be manufactured after the war.
"Actually, it's not very difficult to conquer Eagle Day Fortress. As long as we can get in, with our numerical advantage, we should be able to eliminate those Austrians very quickly." Xiao Jie said.
"Then how can we attack it? This morning everyone has seen the powerful defense capabilities of the Eagle Sun Fortress. We paid a lot of casualties to attack the Eagle Sun Fortress, but there is no way to break through it. Can be shot and killed by those Austrians for nothing." Marshal Lana said, after all, this is the task of his Fifth Army, and if he can't take it down, he is really sorry for his face.
Seeing Marshal Lana's anxious look, Xiao Jie couldn't help laughing, and then said: "It's not as difficult as you imagine to break the Eagle Sun, we just need to do what we did in Stuttgart."
Napoleon looked at Xiao Jie and said, "You mean to attack at night, and then use a lot of gunpowder to blow open the gate of the fortress."
Xiao Jie nodded, and said: "In the era of using hot weapons, it is very difficult to have a fortress that cannot be breached, let alone a fortress that will never be breached."
The others also nodded, this war really inspired them too much, they didn't know that besides cannons and rifles, gunpowder could also be used to blow up the enemy's solid fortifications. This has accumulated a lot of experience for them, and it will also enable them to use the advanced weapons in their hands more effectively and exert their greatest strength in future wars.
After confirming the battle plan, Marshal Lana immediately went down to prepare. They set the attack time at around four o'clock in the morning, which is the time when people sleep the deadliest, and the suddenness of the attack can be guaranteed. So the people of the Fifth Army had dinner early, and after being told the time of action by the officers, in order to ensure that they had enough physical strength to cope with the upcoming battle, many people took a rest in advance.
Four o'clock in the morning on October 16. At the Fifth Legion's garrison, countless figures came out of the tent and gathered quietly under the leadership of the officers. The artillery also pulled out all the cannons, preparing to give them the greatest fire support if they encounter difficulties in the infantry attack.
Marshal Lana carefully selected 3,000 soldiers from the entire army as the vanguard of this operation. After they broke through the gate of the fortress, the follow-up troops will immediately go to support them. From the starting position to the fortress, it takes only two It's only a ten-minute journey. I believe that with these 3,000 elites, it will be easy to guard the gate for 20 minutes. By then, not only will the follow-up go up, then there will be no doubts about everything.
At 4:10, the first batch of 3,000 attacking soldiers set off. They quietly reached the foot of the mountain, and then slowly climbed up the mountain road. Everyone was very careful and did not dare to make any noise. If he is noticed by the Austrians, then he is a sinner of the empire.
Because the Austrian army defeated the French army in today's battle, and made the French army dare not attack again throughout the afternoon, the Austrian army was extremely proud, and did not send anyone to watch outside the fortress at night. After all, it is now night It was already very cold, and it was best to stay in a warm bed at this time, so none of them thought that the French army would attack on such a cold night.
After carefully approaching the gate of the fortress, several soldiers ran under the gate holding a bundle of gunpowder. Lit the fuse immediately after putting it away, and ran on both sides.
About ten seconds later, a huge explosion sounded from the gate of the Eagle Sun Fortress. The whole earth seemed to be shaking, and it could be heard clearly in a radius of dozens of miles. The flames soaring into the sky can be clearly seen in Munich.
After seeing this situation, Napoleon and his party at the foot of the mountain were full of smiles. In their view, the outcome is now decided. At this time, Archduke Ferdinand, who was in Munich, also woke up from his deep sleep. After the adjutant reported to him that the explosion was coming from Eagle Sun Fortress, the Archduke murmured: "This is over." He prepared carefully The two fortifications in the city were completely breached by the French army in such a short period of more than a day, which made him feel very mournful, UU reading www. uukanshu. Com seems to be ten years older. Has God abandoned Austria? Is the Holy Roman Empire on the verge of decline? No, never, Munich is still in my hands, I still have a chance to win. He is also not someone who is willing to admit defeat, he still has to make the last struggle.
After the explosion, the Austrian army in the Eagle Sun Fortress was in a mess. Three thousand French soldiers outside the gate seized this opportunity and rushed in immediately, then quickly cleared the surrounding enemies, and tightly controlled the gate. own hands. The French army at the foot of the mountain also began to charge up the mountain at that moment.
After the initial confusion, the Austrian army immediately launched a counterattack. Their artillery began to bombard the French as they charged up the hill. Their infantry also immediately assembled and launched a fierce attack near the gate controlled by the French army. They knew they were doomed if they couldn't regain control of the gate. So near the gate, the soldiers from both sides fought fiercely. Almost every second, someone fell down, and blood soaked the land near the gate. I don't know if there will be bright flowers there next year.
Numerous French soldiers were blown to pieces during the charge. Seeing this situation, the artillery of the French army became angry, and they kept firing at the artillery positions of the Austrian army, slowly suppressing the opponent.
Even with the best efforts of the Austrian army, the French army could not be driven out of the fortress. Twenty minutes later, when French reinforcements arrived, the Austrian army had lost all hope of victory, and most of them laid down their arms.
An hour later, the gunfire in the entire fortress also ended. The myth of the fortress that can never be breached has been completely broken today.
