"Boys, why are we fighting!"

"For the king! For the sake of the hometown, we will not be invaded by the French!"

"Very good. In the forest ahead, there are thousands of fox soldiers from French men. What mountain divisions are known as? How should we treat them?"

"Kick their balls!"

The highly motivated Swiss soldier shouted at the top of his throat.

"very good!

Now I order everyone to follow me and kick the Frenchman's eggs!"

“Long live Switzerland!

Long live the king!”

Teams of Swiss soldiers carried flintlock rifles and advanced towards the forest battlefield ahead. As they passed, there were continuous defeated and wounded soldiers who retreated from the front line, passing by with the Swiss soldiers who had supported them in the past.

A wounded soldier was carried on a stretcher by two defeated soldiers, humming in pain. After seeing reinforcements not far away, he shouted loudly: "Don't fight with the Frenchman, don't let the Frenchman get close to you!

They are all lunatics, they will charge into our crowd with explosive bags!

Moreover, the French guys are very good at fighting bayonets, so don’t go to the three people below..."

The Swiss privates who were advancing looked here one after another, and the officer next to him quickly ordered: "Don't make noise during the battle, everyone looks ahead!"

Then, the officer glared at the wounded soldier lying on the stretcher. If the other party had not been injured too much, the officer would have sent someone to deal with the willful and noisy soldier.

After all, what the other party says can easily cause a bad blow to one's morale.

After hearing the cry of the wounded soldiers, many Swiss soldiers' eyes became wandering, especially after hearing that the French soldiers were rushing into the crowd with explosives, they even felt a little panic.

After all, no one wants to face a madman who wants to die!

A defeated soldier carrying the wounded soldier smiled bitterly and asked his comrades on the stretcher: "Why are you afraid of being recorded by those officials when you shout like this?"

"My legs are gone, what else is there to be scary!

Even if I return to the wounded barracks behind, I don’t know if I can survive. I always feel that my thighs are hurting. I guess there are shrapnel that have not been taken out...

I have not lived for a long time. Before I die, I told the soldiers of other teams that I would kill a few fewer people. What's wrong with it?"

"You are so noble."

"I'm not noble, I just don't want to see too many Swiss people killed by Frenchmen.

Since I was injured, I have been wondering why we have to fight against the tyrant of the French Empire?

If there was no war, I wouldn't have become like this..."

Alas~~~

The two defeated soldiers carrying the stretcher sighed helplessly. After a while, one of them suddenly said, "If there is no king in Switzerland, would we not have to fight?"

Anyway, we have to pay taxes who will rule, so why bother to pay our lives here?

Could it be that our bloody sacrifice is just to pay taxes to the Swiss king and not to pay taxes to the tyrant of the French Empire?”

After hearing this, the wounded soldier lying on the stretcher suddenly widened his eyes, as if he had forgotten even the long pain for a brief moment.

“You are right!

Brother, you are waking up the dreamer with just one word!

I shouldn't have lost my leg!

No, I'm afraid I'll even lose this life here!

Damn, just for the king's throne, I will meet God before I even marry my wife..."

"Haha, maybe you're not seeing God but Satan."

Another joked.

"Go and go, I have never done anything bad. How could I meet Satan? I must go to heaven if I die. I heard that I send my wife for free there. I have never tasted a woman before I was alive. It would be nice to taste it after I die."

While the three of them were chatting, the supportive troops had already fired with the mountain division of the French Defence Force.

In this forest, neither side did not set up dense arrays of lines, and it was impossible to set them up. At most, teams gathered together to advance.

Of course, since the marksmanship of both sides of the war were not bad, neither the Swiss army nor the French Empire's mountain division did that, just formed a line of scattered soldiers, attacking forward hula, and advancing while shooting.

On both sides of the war, the Swiss army was obviously more crowded than the French Defence Force's mountain divisions.

Therefore, during the fire exchange, you can often see groups of Swiss troops holding the Swiss king's flag and rushing up in scattered lines.

Of course, the straggler lines in this era are much denser than during World War I and World War II, which is just a gap between the soldiers.

It's a bit like the later Japanese pig storm formation.

To put it bluntly, the little Japanese pig rushing charge was also learned from European powers.

"Kill for the king!!!"

After the reinforcements arrived, the Swiss army launched another general attack, and the mountains and forests were suddenly filled with dense Swiss soldiers.

They shouted wildly, holding bayonet flintlock rifles, and rushed to the French front, which seemed to be not very large.

After a series of platoons, the French army suddenly rushed out of the French front and there was a long distance between soldiers with smoke from behind.

Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions sounded!

However, since the Swiss soldiers charged in the mountains and forests were all scattered lines and were not very dense, the casualties were much less than normal terrain combat.

Even so, the momentum of the Swiss army's attack was suppressed.

The sharpshooter behind had already replaced the flintlock rifle and kept loading and shooting, while the sharpshooter in front chose to shoot or throw grenades based on the distance of the enemy's attack. If the enemy was too close, a group of people would rush out to detonate the explosive pack behind them.

Before the war started, the sharpshooters of the Mountain Division had already been assigned to the group, and each ten people were a combat team, and they were also a team that rushed up to explode!

If the Swiss army does not attack, the sharpshooters of the Mountain Division will continue to use their superb shooting level to consume the Swiss army's new force bit by bit.

Relying on the attack of obstacles in the forest, the Swiss soldiers were no match for the sharpshooter at all. Due to the poor vision in the forest, the Swiss army's artillery could not be pulled in, and even if it was pulled in, it would be difficult to hit the enemy.

Only some curved mortar cannons really work, but because the mortar cannon range is too close, many mortar cannon gunners in the Swiss army will be killed by sharpshooters equipped with front-mounted rifled guns, which will not have any effect at all.

On the contrary, the mortars of the French Wehrmacht Mountain Division have been continuously outputting steadily under the protection of sharpshooters.

After repelling the attack of the Swiss army, these mortars will break forward and form an offensive sequence with the sharpshooters on the front line. They will bombard and shoot a wave of sharpshooters. When the Swiss army in front cannot withstand it, they will press forward.

It was not until the Swiss army's new forces came up that they stopped.

It was this simple tactic that made the generals of the Swiss army miserable. After waves of reserve teams, they returned in vain in every attack. Instead, a large number of new forces were killed and injured, except for seeing the power of the French Defense Forces' self-destruction tactics, they were useless.

In this way, the battle between the two sides did not stop from morning to night. After night, the mountain division finally began to launch a full-scale general attack. After a whole daytime battle, the Swiss army, which was exhausted and sluggish in morale, was still defeated by a few thousand mountain divisions, even though they were ready for defense!

Similar battles continued to take place on various fronts of the Kingdom of Switzerland. The Kingdom of Switzerland thought they could use their local army to be familiar with forest combat and terrain advantages to successfully block the invasion of the French Defence Force.

However, unexpectedly, there were a large number of sharpshooters in the French Defense Forces. These sharpshooters had a forest combat capability far exceeding that of the Swiss army that was familiar with the terrain!

Although there are also elite soldiers in the Swiss army with the same level as those of the sharpshooter, the number is too small and can only play a trivial role in the entire battle situation...

As a result, the resistance of the Swiss army could not stop the French Defence Force in addition to causing some casualties to the French Defence Force.

Moreover, because a large number of regular troops were defeated or even annihilated in the mountains and forests, the inland cities of the Kingdom of Switzerland lacked defensive power. When the French Defense Forces came to the city, the cities of the Kingdom of Switzerland often chose not to fight and surrender...

This greatly preserved the wealth of the Kingdom of Switzerland.

Compared with plains and fields, the battle between mountains and forests was boring and cruel in this era. In the spring of 1799, after several months of fierce war, the king of the Kingdom of Switzerland finally had to admit the fact that he was defeated.

Even at this time the French Defence Force had not arrived in his capital.

The French Defence Force adopted a four-sided offensive approach. Although the capital of the Kingdom of Switzerland was not surrounded, all major cities and transportation points in all directions had been occupied by the French Defence Force.

The Swiss king didn't even have a place to escape!

In this desperate situation, the Swiss king sent people to negotiate with the First Army and wanted to surrender.

But Carl rejected the Swiss king's conditions for surrender, because the victory has been decided now, and it doesn't matter whether the Swiss king surrenders.

Levi wanted to establish a Swiss federation.

This was naturally not something that Li Wei decided by the way, but when the French Defense Forces invaded the Swiss Kingdom and when the French army occupied the cities of the Swiss Kingdom, the surrendered urban nobles and municipal officials asked for letters, hoping that the emperor of the French Empire could establish a federal state after defeating the Swiss king.

This is proposed by those surrendered cities themselves, and even the conditions for surrender in many cities are this!

This includes many representatives from various industries. Although the industry committees of this era cannot represent public opinion, they represent the people's belly!

The industry committee is an organization that is clustered in the same industry or similar industries. This organization often manages a large number of people working in the industry.

Therefore, it is easy for them to mobilize the masses, which is the same as the boss mobilizing employees to fight Xixi to cut a knife.

Unless you don’t want this job, you will follow your boss’ orders.

Although the representatives of these guilds could not ask the migrant workers below to fight against the French army, they could deliberately guide the migrant workers below to make them hate the French army from the bottom of their hearts, thereby detonating the revolution.

Switzerland was originally separated from the rule of the Holy Roman Empire, and among them were the masterminds of the wealthy businessmen in these cities.

The so-called public opinion is actually their will!

After receiving this report, Li Wei immediately ordered Manid to send spies from the General Administration of Military Information to investigate the "people's situation" in the Swiss region.

Soon, Li Wei received a report that this land in Switzerland is not very interested in the monarchy!
