Chapter 83, Battlefield Survival Manual

"There is a big conspiracy. The enemy on the opposite side is clearly a group of new recruits. They rushed forward when attacking and scattered when retreating. I don't know where the enemy found the best ones!"

Grigi made a quick judgment. If it weren't for the lack of troops in his hands, he would have really ordered to fight out. Such a good opportunity would be rare.

"Captain, I think the enemy has abandoned a lot of weapons. It's better for us to send someone to pick it up and make a fortune!" The young officer thought for a while and said

Grigi glared fiercely, and said in a tone of regret: "Ambridge, sometimes I really want to split your head and see what is inside, why there are so many messy thoughts!

Just thinking about getting rich, are you a fool when you are the enemy opposite? Why don’t you go up and try it and see if the enemy will kill you?

Our mission is to defend the defense line. What's the use of picking up those broken guns?"

In this era, the military treatment of various countries was not very good. The main reason for getting rich was to rob and seize on the battlefield.

This war was fought in Austria. Don’t think about robbery. No matter how crazy you are, you can’t mess around on your own territory. Seizing becomes their main income.

Of course, the land rewards promised by Franz are also an important factor to allow them to fight with peace of mind.

In the past, if you want to get land rewards, you mainly became a noble and obtained a fiefdom. This was too difficult. Except for a few lucky people, most people did not have the chance.

This time Franz made a change. In the past, the real nobles, even a knight, had to move thousands of acres of fiefdom. Now ordinary soldiers can still obtain land after making military contributions.

(1 hectare ≈ 2.5 acres = 15 city acres)

However, this does not belong to the noble fiefdom and does not have noble privileges. It is equivalent to the government using land to pay military pay and rewards for military merits.

Since they do not belong to the nobles, the threshold is naturally much lower, and it is much easier for ordinary soldiers to obtain land. Basically, as long as they fight a war on the battlefield, they will get a few acres of land. If they are lucky, they can still get a few hectares of land.

Ambridge wanted to make money, but his main purpose was to worry about not having enough military achievements. He could use money to redeem land from his hands. After all, his goal was to be a farmer.

This is a preferential treatment for soldiers. In order to restrict land annexation, Austrian land redemption law stipulates that the per capita land redemption area shall not exceed 2 hectares, and the rewards received on the battlefield are not within the calculation range.

"Uncle Grigi, you know that my family has many brothers and sisters. As the second son, I don't have the qualifications to inherit the title or property, so I want to take the opportunity to make a fortune!" Ambridge said indifferently.

Grigi said angrily: "Damn it, why don't you want to work hard and earn a title by yourself?

I bet that as long as you can get a title, even if it is just a minimum and insulated Lord, Old John will be happier than you get a hundred thousand Rhine shield!”

In this era, the main officers in the European army were basically the children of nobles, especially the second sons who were not qualified to inherit the title, and even entered them as adults to fight.

These people received a good education and soon stood out in the army. The colonial movements of European countries were created by these noble children who were eager to obtain titles.

Ambridge thought for a while and said, "I want to get a title, but at my level, it is too difficult to get a title now.

Uncle Grigi, why don’t we take people to attack the enemy camp at night, if we succeed, maybe my goal will be achieved!”

Grigi rubbed his forehead and gave up on continuing to teach Ambrigi's distant nephew. Even if he was going to attack at night, he had to consider the actual situation?

He admitted that the enemy was very bad. He had never seen such a war force in the past few years, but he could not resist the large number of people!

The enemy army opposite had two divisions, and he had only one regiment of troops, not even one-fifth of the troops in his family. Is it certain that he was not giving away the heads?

...

In the Sardinian military camp, Major General Will taught a lesson to the soldiers who were lying on the battlefield today, and also selected a few unlucky guys as the targets of their authority and enforced military laws.

The battle started again, perhaps because of the authority, or perhaps because of the veterans of the Kingdom of Sardinia, they would be braver, and the afternoon battle would be much more tragic.

Picking up the telescope and looking at the scene of flesh and blood flying, and once soldiers rushed to the enemy's position, Major General Will nodded with satisfaction. This is war. If they were all like those idiots in the morning, that would be fine!

In the camp, undercurrents have begun to surge.

A dirt-faced soldier said excitedly: "Tom, the knowledge in the "Battlefield Survival Manual" is really useful. Seeing those idiots, they are usually arrogant, and now they are rushing up to die stupidly, don't mention how relieved you!"

"Of course, this was bought by Mr. Guerrazi from an old mercenary for a lot of money, just to reduce casualties on the battlefield.

Raul, be careful not to let the Sardinians discover this war, they still have to work hard! If everyone learns to be smart, who will fight the Austrians?" The middle-aged man Tom said cautiously

"Yes, let the Sardinians and Austrians bite the dogs. When they fight, both sides will be injured, and our Lombardy Republic will be independent!" Raul said excitedly.

...

Such a high-end thing as the "Battlefield Survival Manual" is naturally not written by an old mercenary. This was specially prepared by Franz for the Kingdom of Sardinia.

This was summarized by him in his study of the history of Italian wars, so he promoted it to the Sardinian army in advance. Anyway, it was invented by the Italians, so naturally there was no such thing as not being able to adapt to the local environment.

By the way, I also gave a 16-character policy: if you can win, fight, run away, and surrender if you can't win!

It records most of the life-saving techniques on the battlefield, such as: when launching a charge, you are looking for favorable terrain to pretend to be dead.

This place is very important. You cannot go too far or too close to the base camp.

It is best to have a cover to block the enemy's stray bullets. Comfort must also be considered, because the wad time is too long and the limbs will easily become numb.

For example: When defending, you can’t show up, just shoot the bullets out casually. Anyway, the probability of hitting the enemy is not high. If you don’t have a big revenge on life and death, don’t play with your life.

...

Franz made up enough thirty-six strategies, commonly known as the "Thirty-six Strategies to Save Life". All of them are life-saving skills on the battlefield, and the accompanying explanations are all in the most easy-to-understand language without a trace of literary talent.
