1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 206 Good News (2)

After the Second Prussian Army came into contact with the Austrian army, it immediately retreated back to a place that was convenient for defense. Well, after coming out of the mountains, the army led by His Majesty the King immediately regained the habit of advancing slowly like a snail. Of course, it cannot be in vain. In the process of slowly advancing, His Majesty and his officers are most concerned about what is suitable for defense along the way. Even for those areas that are particularly suitable for defense, a defense draft was simply made. So as soon as the scout cavalry came into contact with the enemy, His Majesty the King immediately stopped the large troops and prepared to retreat to favorable terrain for defense. When the scout cavalry confirmed that the main force of the Austrians was rushing towards him. At that time, His Majesty King of Light was already standing on a commanding height, using binoculars to look down at the own soldiers and dig fortifications like worker ants.

By the time General Benedek’s main force arrived in front of the position of the Second Prussian Army, well, the Prussians had erected several layers of barbed wire, and the land between the barbed wires showed signs of being excavated—obviously, Prussian People planted mines there.

This tactic was already understood by Europeans after the Civil War. Although the Europeans laugh at the United States guys for these unpretentious tricks, their bodies are extraordinarily honest. When they encounter themselves in a war, whether it is the Austrians defending the Italian attack or the Prussian defense The Austrian attack, everyone used their own little tricks that they dismissed.

It's just that the trench Haywand is not very deep. Time is running out. The Prussians first just ask the soldiers to dig out foxholes, and then connect the foxholes bit by bit to form trenches. Digging trenches, no matter what, I can't go there soon. So when the Austrian army arrived, the trenches had not yet been dug. If at this time, the Austrian artillery used a grenade round against the Prussians, it is estimated that it would be able to defeat a lot of Prussian soldiers.

However, the Austrians did not fire the artillery, because the artillery could not keep up with the speed of the army and fell behind. And those damn despicable Prussians also planted a lot of mines on the road. These mines are specially made. People stepped on them without any reaction, but the wheels of the cannon would explode immediately if they were crushed by the wheels of the cannon. After the loss of two cannons, the artillery advanced much more slowly. So, um, the cannon is temporarily out of use. When the cannon is in place, it is estimated that the trench on the opposite side will be dug.

Although the Prussian's quick response made General Benedek a little admiration, well, at least, his army could not make such a set of fortifications in such a short period of time. However, General Benedek was not in a hurry, nor did he immediately launch an attack. Anyway, there was enough time to prepare slowly. You know, the Prussian army has a lot more cannons than the Austrians. Although the number of cannons in the Second Army is not as large as his, the own cannons are still not in place. At this time, the Prussians have no scruples about the attack. When a large cannon came, the infantry on his side would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

It took a long time for the Austrian troops to be in place. At this time, the Prussian position had basically taken shape. Considering that the soldiers marched from a long distance and were very exhausted, General Benedek did not launch an attack that day, but arranged his own troops to defend themselves and prepare to camp. "Wait until tomorrow to destroy these Prussian barbarians." General Benedek said.

Pieces of gold bricks were taken out of the box and lined up neatly along the innermost wall of the underground vault. Three tons of gold worth two million dollars sounds a lot, but in this huge basement, it is completely inconspicuous.

Dorothea first stood only two meters away from the pile of gold bricks and watched the black water guards arrange the gold bricks neatly. Then, the guards retreated, leaving only Scrooge and Dorothea in the vault. Looking at the golden bricks with a golden halo under the gas lamp, Dorothea felt a little dizzy, just like when she and Big Brother secretly went to taste her father’s brandy when she was very young. She felt a little dizzy, and her little heart was pounding vigorously.

"You can touch it," Scrooge said.

"I'm a little dizzy," Dorothea said, "It's like drinking too much brandy."

"Haha." Scrooge smiled, "I've seen drunk people, even drunk people, and this is the first time I have seen drunk people."

"Scrooge, can you stretch your hand over?" Dorothea's tone was so delicate, and her shaky appearance made it hard to help her.

But instead of reaching out, Scrooge took a step back and looked at Dorothea with alert eyes.

"What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing." Dorothea said with a natural air. "I just want to pinch you to see if I'm dreaming."

"To know if you are dreaming, you can pick up a gold brick and smash it on the back of your instep to see." Scrooge immediately proposed a more reasonable alternative.

"It's almost like throwing it on the back of your feet!" Dorothea said viciously.

"Oh, by the way, don't you feel dizzy looking at these things?" Dorothea asked.

"It's only two million dollars. What's so dizzy." Scrooge said, "I'm not like some people have never seen the world."

"Hmph, gold and banknotes are two different things!" Dorothea said, "I don't believe you have seen so much gold before!"

"I haven't seen it. But I'm not dizzy." Scrooge was still very proud.

Dorothea looked at Scrooge, then looked at the gold, and then retreated a few steps, stepped back to Scrooge's side, then looked at the gold again, and said, "I know why you are not dizzy. Looking so far, the pile of gold seems to be much less." Then she looked around the vault and exclaimed: "It's really too little. When can I fill up this vault."

"It's not full." Scrooge hugged Dorothea from behind and said softly in her ear. The breath from her mouth made her ears itchy. "Have you heard that desire is hard to fill?" At the same time, his hands began to move up from her waist dishonestly.

"What are you doing... Don't mess around..."

"Don't you think we should celebrate? There is no one else here anyway..."

"Woo... you big pervert... woo... don't..."

Early the next morning, the Austrians launched wave after wave of attacks against the Prussian Second Army. In such offensive operations, the Austrians suffered heavy casualties, but they had also made some progress. By noon, they had already captured the first trench. If they were to continue at this pace, General Benedek believed, It would not take five days to defeat the Prussian Second Army.

"In three days, the enemy on the opposite side should collapse." General Benedek thought.

Thinking that he was about to win this crucial battle for Austria, thinking of the awards and fame that followed, General Benedek was a little drunk unconsciously. At this moment, a scout cavalry rushed over suddenly.

"General, I found the troops of the Prussian First Army." The cavalry jumped off his horse and told General Benedek the terrible news before he could catch his breath. The Prussian First Army with more than 100,000 troops appeared in theirs. Behind.
