Grand Duke Nicholas knew the importance of this battle. It was not just about who could become the Tsar. In fact, it was even related to the lives of both parties.
If he was defeated, he might not even become the Tsar. If he did not do well, he might not even be able to keep his life. It was obvious that once Grand Duke Michael won the war, he would definitely not let him off.
If he had won the war, he would definitely not have left the scourge of Grand Duke Michael behind.
Therefore, he could not lose this battle, even if it was just for his own life!
Archduke Agelni and General Miroraf knew that the rebel army had powerful firepower. He was not willing to let the guards take the risk. However, they also knew that this battle was too crucial.
If Grand Duke Nicholas lost this battle, they would not have a good ending either.
Therefore, they did not stop Grand Duke Nicholas.
A large number of guards entered the battlefield, ready to attack.
As the most elite force of the Russian army, the Imperial Guards had always been the main force.
The upper echelons of the Russian Empire were also very clear that the combat strength of the Russian Empire's soldiers was too trash. Even if they had the advantage in numbers, it would not be so easy to compete with other countries. That was why they had formed the Imperial Guards so that the Russian Empire could have a truly elite force.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guards were mostly made up of veterans and nobles. They had been trained to charge and were better equipped. At the same time, the treatment was better in all aspects.
This made the soldiers of the Imperial Guards even more loyal to the Tsar. When fighting, they would naturally be more courageous.
In order to defeat Grand Duke Michael, Grand Duke Nikola did not hesitate to throw his guards into the battle. It could be seen how much he cared about this victory.
"Your Excellency, the guards have entered the battle!”Lieutenant General Brushilov's expression was serious.
Grand Duke Michael nodded and put down the telescope in his hand.
"Order the frontline troops to open fire. There's no need to hide their firepower.”Grand Duke Michael ordered.
They had to be careful when facing the more powerful guards. He had to do his best to avoid making mistakes in battle.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Lieutenant General Brushilov replied.
"Also, order the cavalry to get ready. If the army of Grand Duke Nicholas showed signs of collapse or retreat to Mosk, then he would not be able to escape. The cavalry immediately attacked and intercepted them. They must not be allowed to escape back to Mosk City!”Grand Duke Michael was determined.
Even if doing so would make the battle more intense and the losses would be greater. However, he did not want to fight a tough street battle in Mosk. That would be a real disaster.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Lieutenant General Brushilov immediately passed on Grand Duke Michael's order.
"Charge! Kill all the rebels!"
"Capture Grand Duke Michael alive!"
"Wu La! Wu La!"
A large number of brave guards shouted slogans and launched an attack on the rebel army's defense line. They were holding Mosinaga rifles with bayonet mounted, their faces filled with fanaticism.
In order to gain the support of the guards, Grand Duke Nikola announced in the army that Nicholas II had been killed by Grand Duke Michael. This made the soldiers of the Imperial Guards, who had always respected the Tsar, naturally hate and hate Grand Duke Michael. Now that both sides were at war, they naturally did not hold back.
"Fire!"
Grand Duke Michael's army naturally did not show any weakness either.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The artillery fired fiercely, and shells rained down on the Russian Imperial Guards.
After the shells exploded, shrapnel exploded, killing a large number of guards.
But even so, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards seemed to turn a blind eye to the sacrifice of their comrades and continued to charge.
"Dong dong dong!"
A large number of mortars also began to fire. This time, Grand Duke Michael gave the order not to hold back. This made their mortar fire even more intense.
The dense cannonballs crazily reaped the lives of the Russian Imperial Guards.
"Da da!"
Soon, the heavy machine guns and light machine guns in the camp began to fire.
A large number of Maxim heavy and light machine guns fired wildly, and the dense bullets enveloped the soldiers of the Russian Imperial Guards like a storm.
"Pfft! Puchi!"
Bullets easily pierced through fragile human bodies. Blood bloomed on their chests, easily taking away countless lives.
A large number of Imperial Guards fell to the ground after being shot. Their eyes gradually lost their luster and they became corpses.
Facing the powerful firepower of Grand Duke Michael's troops, even the most elite guards of the Russian Empire could not break through. Instead, it increased their casualties.
