War is no longer what it used to be!

At a secret meeting with his officers before the war, Xiao Letian once said more than once that this Franco-Prussian War will completely change human perception of war!

The Franco-Prussian War is actually a key exertion in the evolution of medieval war ideas to modern war ideas!

Although humans had entered the era of * before the Franco-Prussian War, such as rifles, cannons, warships, etc., the widespread use of new weapons, from the perspective of the structure of the war and from the perspective of the ruler's strategic thinking!

Before the Franco-Prussian War, the strategic ideas of countries around the world remained the same as before!

The war in the Middle Ages was more like a fight between knights, and military conflicts between countries were more like using war to resolve conflicts, rather than a life-and-death struggle!

The wars of human beings in that era still had some simple and ancient style!

Soldiers and the people are relatively separated, farmers and workers pay taxes, and war has little direct relationship with them!

War is just a war between kings and nobles and knights, and all armies are basically professional armies!

In that era, war broke out between the two countries, but in fact, life and death were rarely divided, and they were all fought for an agreement!

The combined forces of both sides rarely exceed 100,000. These professional soldiers use short-term and violent wars to determine the outcome, and then redistribute their interests based on the results of the war.

The border line changed during these wars, and the treaties were finally preserved in the historical archives!

As for the people? Those who do not know what the nation is and the national enlightenment movement has not begun, who do the people pay taxes? They will not care about the changes in the rulers on their heads!

This is the war in the Middle Ages, it was a game for bigwigs, and the Franco-Prussian War completely changed all this!

Because of the widespread popularity of national thought and the sense of identity of the people of various countries towards the nation has begun to rise unprecedentedly, this has made ordinary people agree with war.

Win or lose is no longer a matter of paying taxes by another master. Win or lose is a major plan for the nation’s life and death!

Under this emotion, the rulers can finally launch a comprehensive mobilization. They can finally let the farmers and workers who are waiting to die indignantly join the war!

In theory, this is a kind of soldier for the whole nation!

It is precisely because of such a situation where the whole nation is a soldier that the so-called concept of a large army in modern warfare has been created!

A large army of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people launched an attack on the enemy in dozens of kilometers. What a spectacular scene!

This is a horrible scene that people in the Middle Ages could not even imagine!

The French-Prussian War was an important period when these two types of war thinking were excessive, while Prussia went further and mobilized better than France!

Fierce battles in the Vosges began at around 5 pm, and until 3:30 pm, Prince Carl had mobilized 70,000 people to launch an attack on the French army.

The 120,000 army has already fought 70,000, and he still has 50,000 new forces in his hands drinking broth, resting his energy and waiting for the battle order!

The 40,000 French troops under McMahon were exhausted, and everyone had already been involved in the bloody battle!

The war has continued until now, and the French army has reduced its personnel by 10,000, while the Prussian has reduced its personnel by terrifying 25,000!

With so many people dead, the commander would have considered a truce in the past, but Prince Carl became more and more brave and had no intention of a truce in the past!

"Continue to launch an offensive and let the reserve team go!"

"The Third Division of Saxony and the Fourth Division are ready for combat! After the next round of artillery attacks, let them launch a general attack!"

Prince Carl looked at the five French defense lines that had been broken on the map and smiled coldly, "McMahon... Don't think that if you have the advantage of geographical advantage, I will have nothing to do with you!"

"This time, I will let you realize what the future national war is!"

"You are just a bunch of old antiques that should have been swept away from the garbage dump! The future era belongs to us!"

"Transfer my order and inform the entire army that the battle will not stop, when will the Vosges be completely captured and when will it take a rest!"

"The empire needs victory! Only victory is the only one!"

The prince's orders spread throughout the army, and people had long forgotten their fatigue. Everyone was excited by this super fight and their blood was thrilled. The two heavy equipment divisions in Saxony who were named, all the commanders went down to the front line and personally boosted morale!

"Soldiers of Saxony! Warriors of my hometown!"

"The fruit of victory is right in front of you. Let's fight for the empire!"

"All officers will stand by your side, and all nobles will rush to the front line with you!"

"All our sufferings will break out today! For the empire! For the future of our descendants!"

"Good guys in Prussia! Fight to the end!"

A heavy equipment division with more than 20,000 people broke out with a roar like a tsunami, "Attack! Long live the empire!"

At four o'clock, another 20,000 Prussians shouted the slogan of victory and killed the extremely tired French soldiers!

War! It's really a place where people can't play tricks with national strength! Just as the two divisions began to charge, a report suddenly sounded in Prince Carl's command.

"Report to the sir! Nineteen armies came from the north in a row, bringing our reinforcements and shells!"

"Oh? Where did you go?"

"Report to His Highness the Prince! The First Division and the Fifth Division of the Hanover Legion have a total of 24,000 people, and have arrived! Please give the commander the battle order!"

Hahahaha... Prince Carl smiled at the sky, "Reinforcements, our reinforcements! Another 24,000 reinforcements are coming! The Hanover legion is here too!"

"Napoleon III! Do you know what a modern railway network is? Do you know what a nationwide war is? Do you know what a nationwide war is?"

"I have an inexhaustible source of troops! Do you have one?"

The domineering Prince Carl waved his hand, "Are my soldiers tired? Can they still fight after riding the train for so long?"

The two teachers who came to report had high breasts than women's breasts. They replied loudly, "Fight, we came here for the fight!"

"The brothers on the front line are not afraid of death. Will we avoid the war because of a little fatigue? There are no cowards in Hannover!"

"Very good! The Saxon warriors are attacking the enemy's sixth line of defense, and their secret weapons are almost blown up by our cannons!"

"You support it immediately, don't stop after attacking the sixth line of defense, continue to attack the seventh line of defense!"

"Yes, sir!" The two division commanders turned their heads and left the command center. In a short while, tens of thousands of people shouted and killed in the north!

McMahon has already lost this battle. Prussia has become more and more people. In one night, more than 20,000 new forces have sent them to the front line.

Not only that, there were countless dispatchers on the rear railways that were coordinating transportation, and more armies headed south, bringing countless new forces and material supplies from the hinterland of Prussia!

At 4:20, reinforcements from two divisions of Hanover arrived, and at 5:30, a division of Holstein arrived at the battlefield. After 6:00, Bavaria sent two brigades of mountain infantry!

After the sun began to show its white belly from the east, the troops under Prince Carl's men who could fight miraculously turned into a huge 160,000!

Excluding the 25,000 combat reduction, he actually has more than 130,000 available troops!
