Obviously, the removal of fortresses was very unprofitable for the Han army. Just the loss of war in the siege was a loss-making deal, not to mention that the French coalition forces on the other side were invading the province of Sardinia.

Xiao Yunyang can't afford to delay, but the anti-Han alliance can afford to delay!

Now, after so many lessons from his predecessors, the anti-Han alliance has understood that no matter how many military strength advantages are, it cannot be determined by Xiao Yunyang in the field, so Xiao Yunyang can only face a lot of turtle shells...

However, no matter what kind of fortress defense system it is, there is destined to be one or several core military forts.

This core military fort can often radiate more than half of the city military fortresses, playing a mainstay and the transport ability of the transit station.

At the same time, the location of this core military fort is also the most suitable place for large army access.

Once the Han army starts, it will make this core military fort fair, and can send troops everywhere to easily cut off the connection between the city and the fortresses. At the same time, the absence of the core military fortress also means that the defensive fortress with the largest reinforcements has disappeared.

It is impossible to squeeze soldiers into an unlimited manner in a military fortress. Soldiers are not puppets, so they need to deploy defenses to exert combat effectiveness. If people are crowded and placed inside, they will be useless and waste their troops!

It is often impossible to garrison too many troops in the city fortresses that are purely military purposes, which is why the city fortresses generally have only a few thousand to tens of thousands of troops.

However, the core military fortress is different. It is a true castle fortress, with garrisons inside it that can reach tens of thousands, and the reserved materials are not comparable to those of other city military fortresses.

This core military fort can easily support other city military forts, and even take the initiative to send troops to swallow up small groups of troops from the attacking party.

Therefore, if Xiao Yunyang wants to quickly break through the entire city defense fortress system, he must be the first to remove the core military fortress.

This core military fortress is the Bavarian fortress.

As you can see from the name, this is named by the Bavarians...

These military forts were only built in recent years. Some were built on the terrain from scratch, while others were renovated and expanded based on the original towns and even castles.

The original Bavarian fortress was an inconspicuous town, but after the Han Empire emerged, it began to transform into military fortresses. From this point of view, it can be seen that the Duke of Bavaria still has a sense of crisis and strategic vision.

Due to the scout blockade of the German coalition, the Han army was unable to find the specific forces in the Bavarian army fortress, and could only roughly estimate that there were 30,000 to 50,000 combat soldiers in it based on other information.

Moreover, the number of troops stationed in the Bavarian military fort is constant. Reinforcements from the Holy Roman Empire will arrive after a period of time and are allocated to various city forts. It is an unknown number of how much Bavarian fortresses, as the core fortress, can be allocated to.

But it will never be missing.

The situation now facing the Han army is that if you want to defeat the Holy Roman Empire, you must invade the Duke of Bavaria. If you want to invade the Duke of Bavaria, you must defeat the hundreds of thousands of German coalition forces in front of you.

If you want to defeat more than 100,000 German coalition forces in front of you, you need to break through the fortress defense system they built.

In the shortest time, we must be the first to fair Bavarian fortress defense system!

Breaking the Bavarian fortress is equivalent to creating a gap in the fortress defense system. Not to mention it will be smooth in the future, but it can achieve twice the result with half the effort!

The various cities and forts that cannot support each other or even harass the small forces of the Han army will be easily divided into isolated cities by the Han army, and it will be quite easy to pull up nails.

At the same time, it will also put great psychological pressure on the defenders in the fortress.

Not only Xiao Yunyang's Han army knew the importance of Bavarian fortress, but also the German coalition!

If it weren't for not being able to put too many troops, there would be more than 30,000 to 50,000 warriors in the Bavarian castle!

By the same token, the Han army could not surround the Bavarian fortress. So, wait for other city walls to send troops to cut off the Han army's retreat and close the door and fight the dogs!

This is why Xiao Yunyang released the elite Taiping muskets to attack the Bavarian fortress.

The German coalition believed that it was very strong defensive fortress, from the perspective of the cold weapon era, could withstand the city walls of stone casters, but not necessarily withstand the bombardment of siege cannons!

In the spring of the 12th year of the Han Dynasty, the central army of the Han army strongly inserted from the gap in the defense system outside the core military fortress of the German coalition defense system.

During this process, the German coalition was very attentive throughout the whole process, and no team tried to come out to intercept...

This is certainly because the Han army arranged large military guards on the periphery, but it is mainly because the German coalition belongs to the noble coalition. It is taken by Xiao Yunyang's great reputation and no one dares to use his own family to make a living.

This saved Xiao Yunyang a lot of time, which was going well.

At this time, time is the factor that determines victory or defeat for the Han army.

Every extra day of service, the risk of the fall of the province of Sardinia increases a little.

Xiao Yunyang took all ordinary military households and even mercenaries on the Italian Peninsula to the Sardinian province to resist the invasion of the French coalition forces, but the quality of the soldiers of these troops was ultimately inferior to that of the French coalition forces. Even if they had the advantages of defense and fortress defense, they could not stand it for too long.

This is thanks to the original Kingdom of Sardinia that built many fortresses on the border of the Kingdom of France, which can be used directly, otherwise the French coalition would have already invaded the province of Sardinia and swept across it.

The Holy Roman Empire and the French noble coalition in this world are actually powerful troops with great combat power in the era of cold weapons. However, the Han army and Xiao Yunyang were too strong, which made them seem unable to fight...

After all, the nobles of the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire at this time were both the first generation of founding countries. The feudal fief system had not yet been corrupted and degenerated, and the knights maintained a high enthusiasm for fighting.

It’s a pity that no matter how brave the knight encounters a musket, it will end up killing the gunshots...

With the development of technology, the advanced level of weapons is gradually crushing the blood of human soldiers. By the 21st century of Xiao Yunyang's previous life, the courage of soldiers has even become dispensable in the face of modern weapons.

Scientific research talents are much more important than a group of brave soldiers.

The emergence of non-contact asymmetric war has made it a luxury for brave men to see the faces of the enemy...

Under the protection of tens of thousands of Han troops, Hong Renzheng successfully arrived in front of the Bavarian fortress and quickly unfolded artillery and infantry.
