Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

The 1st Cavalry Brigade, 7th Cavalry Brigade, 8th Cavalry Brigade, 9th Cavalry Brigade and 10th Cavalry Brigade of the Tsarist Russian Empire Army directly crossed the border and entered Romania.

Although, the Kingdom of Romania was a neutral country in this war.

However, since they let the Austro-Hungarian army pass through their territory, they launched an attack on the Tsarist Russian Army. So at this moment, they have to take responsibility for it.

Therefore, after the army of the Tsarist Russian Empire crossed the border, the Kingdom of Romania also did not express anything.

Their army had already retreated a long time ago, directly turning the southwestern region of the kingdom into the battlefield of the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Even the people living in this area fled early.

If possible, the Romanians naturally don't want their land to be poisoned by the flames of war.

But there is no way to do this. Who made them a small country?

Especially for a small country sandwiched between two big countries, this is undoubtedly even more sad.

The cavalry troops of the Tsarist Russian Empire are very fast, especially when they are hardly intercepted, they can assault hundreds of kilometers in a day, which is a breeze.

Although, when the 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army was retreating, Archduke Ferdinand also realized that his flanks needed protection. So the undamaged cavalry units were sent out.

However, their cavalry has less than 20,000 people.

Moreover, it is still the old-fashioned cavalry, with cold weapons as the main weapon.

Facing the five cavalry brigades of the Tsarist Russian Empire Army, with more than 40,000 people, one can naturally imagine what will happen.

On August 31, a fierce battle broke out between the cavalry units of the two sides in the Southern Carpathians.

Several cavalry brigades of the Russian Empire besieged the cavalry of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In less than half a day, the cavalry of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was surrounded and wiped out.

After all, cavalry with cold weapons as their main weapon is doomed to be eliminated in this era. Facing the large number of artillery and machine guns equipped by the cavalry of the Tsarist Russian Empire, they simply couldn't resist.

Even, this is no longer a battle, but a massacre.

After eliminating the cavalry of the 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army, several cavalry brigades of the Tsarist Russian Army deployed their defenses directly in the Southern Carpathian Mountains, guarding the main traffic routes through the mountains, and directly sending the Austro-Hungarian Army The remnants of the 2nd Army were blocked.

Intercept front and back, followed by pursuers.

The 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army could not resist at all.

On September 4, the remnants of the 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army were surrounded by the main force of the 1st Army of the Tsarist Russian Army.

More than 100,000 people, including Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, were all surrounded in a small city south of the Southern Carpathian Mountains.

The 1st Army of the Tsarist Russian Empire directly mobilized a large number of heavy artillery and launched a fierce shelling on this small city, which threatened to wipe the entire city off the map and kill all the soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Army in the city.

It seems that it has not been considered at all, and Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is still in the city.

If the Tsarist Russian Army kills Archduke Ferdinand, this will inevitably lead to an irresolvable hatred between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A 105mm light howitzer and a 75mm field gun of the Tsarist Russian Empire Army were all firing fiercely.

Shells fell into the city like raindrops, blowing up the small city into ruins.

The soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Army in the city suffered heavy casualties.

The Crown Prince Ferdinand and Admiral Auffenberg hid in a basement.

However, Archduke Ferdinand couldn't help turning pale when he felt that the basement was constantly shaking due to the explosion of the shells.

"Damn barbarians, are they trying to blow us all up here? If I die here, the empire will never let them go!" Archduke Ferdinand couldn't help but cursed.

Now, he is really scared.

If he was given another chance, he would never personally lead the army to launch an attack. This is really too dangerous!

"His Royal Highness, the Russians don't care about these things. This time, we may be doomed." Admiral Auffenberg looked frustrated.

"No, I can't die here, I want to go back alive!" Archduke Ferdinand shook his head again and again.

He is the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the future emperor, so he is naturally unwilling to die on the battlefield like this.

No matter what, he had to save his own life.

Even if he is captured by the Russians, he will definitely be able to return to the country safely.

After making up his mind, Archduke Ferdinand immediately made a decision.

On September 5, Archduke Ferdinand ordered all soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender to the Russian Empire.

Subsequently, the Tsarist Russian Army occupied this small town without bloodshed, eliminated the remnants of the 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army, and captured the Crown Prince Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire alive.

Since then, the 2nd Army of the Austro-Hungarian Army was almost wiped out, and the 1st Army of the Tsarist Russian Empire won a brilliant victory.
