If the rope net is just in front of you, it wouldn't be able to stop everyone from getting old. Not to mention turning over, it would be very fast to cut things like ropes with a knife. But when Ivans approached, they realized that it was not a rope net, but a barbed wire mesh.

What's even more hateful is that these wire mesh are not made of ordinary wire, but are made of barbed wire. There are many thorns wrapped around the wire. If you have to cross it, you will probably be caught by these thorns. It is really not easy to cut off the wire. At least, it is impossible in a short time.

If it is in ordinary circumstances, even if you twist and fold slowly with bare hands, it is not particularly difficult to break these wires. However, this is on the battlefield, and the wire mesh is only about 100 meters away from the French trench. At this distance, it is still difficult for the Russian army to hit the heads exposed from the back of the trench by Louis, but it is easy for Louis to hit Ivan, who stood in front of the wire mesh without any cover.

So the Ivans, who were blocked by the barbed wire, were knocked down in rows by the French platoons. Some brave Ivans tried to cross the barbed wire, but they were hung up in their military uniforms by the barbs on them, paused for a moment, and then were shot to death. Some brave Ivans shot against Louis through the barbed wire with the rifle in their hands, and they were naturally knocked to the ground.

The French barbed wire did not completely block the direction of their advance. The barbed wire was segmented, and even had a certain angle relative to the French trenches. If there were reconnaissance balloons on the Russian and Austrian coalition and could also be observed from a higher height, they could see that these barbed wires basically formed the shape of funnels, but there was no gap at the bottom of the funnel, and they were also blocked with barbed wire.

Of course, these shapes were intentional, so that the soldiers from the attacking side would naturally gather here!

The soldiers at the moment are blocked by the barbed wire, and the soldiers behind will instinctively want to bypass the obstacles. Then they will run forward diagonally in the direction of the barbed wire, and then they will unconsciously gather at the bottom of the funnel. Once the personnel are dense, the firepower of the defensive party will greatly improve their efficiency in upward development.

But even if some people see this trap, on the battlefield, they cannot stop most people's instinctive actions, and it is even possible that they will be passed by and then blocked at the bottom of the funnel.

At this time, in the French trenches, at the bottom of the funnel, some yellow camouflage nets used for camouflage were opened, revealing the black hole of the cannon half buried underground, with only the gun barrel just extending out of the ground. Then, with the roar of the cannon, thousands of shotguns ejected towards the Ivans who were squeezed into a ball at the funnel entrance like raindrops.

Although there is no machine gun yet, such shotgun shooting has almost the best killing efficiency at close range than that of machine guns. Soon, piles of corpses were stacked at these positions.

Any army has a limit to the ability to withstand casualties, and the brave Ivans are no exception. In many cases, the dilemma of helplessness can even dampen the morale of soldiers than casualties.

So the Ivans soon collapsed in front of the thin wire mesh. Some of them smashed the wire mesh in vain with their butts like crazy, and were shot to death by Louis; some of them shouted and turned around and ran away, and accidentally stepped on a "Abagong's potato", then threw away their guns, and rolled on the ground with their legs in their arms.

The Ivans retreated very quickly, faster than they came up. And when they retreated, they stepped on many landmines and left many wounded soldiers.

Suvorov stood in his position, watching the Russian attack and retreat expressionlessly. He did not speak until the soldiers began to retreat. He said to General Bagladion: "Peter, bring your cavalry and respond to them. Everyone who can come back now is wealth."

Bagladion then brought a team of cavalry to meet him.

"The Russians did a good job of retreating cover." Napoleon put down the telescope in his hand and said to Murah, who was eager to try, "Okay, Murah, you can rest your soldiers."

"General, let's chase us out," said Mura, "isn't it just a team of Russian cavalry? We can defeat them together."

"You saw the battle over there just now." Napoleon glanced at Murah and said, "What kind of exchange ratio do you think he and the enemy had just played? If you have the confidence to play such exchange ratio now, I will agree to you attack. Are you confident?"

So Murah stopped talking.

Bagladion brought the cavalry to cover the retreating Russian troops back to his barracks, but there were still many wounded soldiers wailing on the battlefield.

Bagladion frowned and asked another officer around him to escort the defeated soldiers back, while he led a team of cavalry toward the wounded soldiers.

Bagration got off the horse next to a wounded soldier. The wounded soldier was lying there with his feet in his arms.

"Brother, what's wrong? Can you still stand up?" asked Bagration.

"My feet, my feet..." the wounded soldier just shouted there.

Bagladion looked there, and a bullet flew over from not far away from him with a whoosh.

Bagration bent down, picked up the wounded soldier, placed him on the saddle, and then led the horse toward the other wounded soldier.

"General, do you want to gather fire and shoot?" a soldier asked Xu Xie.

"No." Xu Xie shook his head, "Let everyone not shoot. Let our people go out, enter the minefield, contain the wounded, and send the wounded to them."

So the gunfire on the French position stopped. A team of French troops carrying stretchers but without weapons came out of the French trenches, opened the locked barbed wire, carefully entered the minefield, and then carried the wounded onto the stretcher. They carried the wounded out on a strange course.

Bagladion had just helped the second wounded man on his horse, and his guards reminded him: "General, a group of French people have come out."

Bagladion raised his head and looked over there, and saw a group of French soldiers carrying stretchers, all of which were wailing Russian wounded soldiers.

The French army carried the wounded toward Bagladion and the others, and a captain who led the lead shouted loudly: "You are already in the minefield, please do not move around, otherwise you will be easily injured."

Bagladion could understand French. In fact, there were not many Russian aristocrats who did not understand French. In Europe in that era, a nobleman would be regarded as a local bun if he could not speak French. In Petersburg, when the nobles talked to each other, using French rather than Russian was also a fashionable thing.

"General, they..." the guard asked.

"It doesn't matter, they don't seem to be malicious," said Bagladion.

Soon the French army arrived in front of them. The French put the wounded on the ground with a stretcher. The captain who led the lead saluted to Bagladion and said, "God General, this is your wounded. I am now ordered to hand over these wounded people to you."

Bagladion also said politely: "Thank you."

The French captain didn't seem to want to say anything more. After saying that, he turned around with his own people and left quickly.

"General, do we want..." said a guard.

Bagladion knew what the guard meant, and when he caught the captain, he might be able to ask a lot of things. You should know that although the scout cavalry sometimes had the opportunity to capture the opponent's cavalry alive in the battle, the chance of catching the captain was much smaller. A captain must know much more things than ordinary soldiers.

Bagration frowned and shook his head: "Don't let others think that we Russians are all barbarians."

After saying this, Baglation lowered his head and looked at the wounded soldiers, sighed, and ordered: "Please carry them back."

Back in the barracks, Bagladion accompanied the old marshal and talked with the retreating soldiers to learn about the French's defense.

After understanding various situations, Suwonov summoned the generals to discuss how to deal with them.

This time, everyone has already learned more about the virtuality and reality of the French defense line, but this understanding did not give everyone more confidence. On the contrary, it also made everyone particularly frustrated.

"I have never seen such a sinister defense." said a Russian officer. "The French are completely different from the Turks. Those mines and the cannons are just something we can overcome. But the barbed wire really needs to find a way to solve it quickly."

"Can we have any way to quickly destroy the barbed wire?" someone said.

"How about burning with explosives?"

"You can try it. Let's get some wire first, make a model, and then try it."

"Also, their landmines will be bad if they are bombed like this."

"I heard that the British deal with landmines in Ireland, and it is very effective..." an Austrian officer suddenly said.

"How did the British do it?" Everyone became interested immediately.

"The British asked some Irish people to walk in front and step on the mines," replied the Austrian.

"Didn't that turn into a Tatar barbarian?" a Russian couldn't help but say.

"That's right, hasn't this become a barbarian?"

"The British were originally barbarians."

Russians are always regarded as barbarians in Europe, and Russians are quite dissatisfied in their hearts. Now almost all Russians will not let go of them if they laugh at them as barbarians. But since they want to laugh at British barbarians, the plan to catch some Italians to step on landmines was naturally abandoned.

However, the idea of ​​driving away the flock of sheep and other landmines that inspired everyone to try it out.
