King's Landing in France

Chapter 273 "I'm Leng Duo!"

The next day, when the staff officers came to the headquarters, they would be spiritually baptized.

It's a bit like recruiting new recruits from MI[-]. As soon as the newcomer arrives, Sir Cumming, the head of MI[-], will first perform a tough job of pulling his thigh with a saw to test his courage.

The staff officers of the French army had to bear the powerful mental shock of seeing the chief of staff in women's clothing.

An Ning also added settings next to it: "As a staff officer, you must not be alarmed by changes, and Taishan collapses in front of you, but you are so shocked. How can you be my Andy Frost's staff officer? ?”

Berthier asked anxiously: "Will this become a regular item for the staff to test staff officers in the future?"

An Ning: "Don't worry, this time I'm really just punishing you for making mistakes."

In the future, as long as one's own officer makes a mistake that will not be shot, he can do it once.

Berthier began to assign tasks to the staff, and after he got to work, he felt that he gradually forgot that he was wearing a maid outfit, and devoted himself to his work wholeheartedly.

But the staff officers were miserable, they really had to put in a lot of effort to collapse their faces.

An Ning pretended not to see the expressions of the staff officers, and continued to discuss military affairs with Berthier.

Murat's cavalry was scattered, looking for the enemy's cavalry everywhere, while the infantry in An Ning's hands rushed to the nearest coalition army one by one.

Anning's first strike target was the Allied Fourth Army, which was 35 miles away from Babi Village.

The French troops set off in mighty force.

**
The main task of the Fourth Army of the Allied Forces so far has been to serve as flank cover.

Originally, this was a very leisurely task, at least until the French army dispatched to fight the Allied forces.

But now the French army is constantly popping up like onions in the field, and the leisure of the Fourth Army has been broken.

Then on this day, the Fourth Army received an order to go to Babi Village with the troops of General Brzeski, who was going to rescue Babi Village.

So early this morning, the Fourth Army began to dismantle the tents.

At noon that day, the scout cavalry of the Fourth Army encountered the French cavalry and was beaten back. The commander, Brigadier General Kruger, did not take it seriously. Recently, the French army is everywhere, and it is normal to encounter a little cavalry.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a group of French troops appeared near the Fourth Army's garrison. Like the French troops encountered by the Fourth Army before, they rushed up as soon as they saw the Fourth Army's tent.

As a result, Brigadier General Kruger personally commanded the artillery of the Fourth Army, and used three ground rolls to disrupt this wave of offensive.

Yes, just three shots.

Brigadier General Kroger: "Really, these Frenchmen, let us win no honor at all! Come on, let our soldiers shout at the retreating French army, let them go back and study the art of war, Come back after practicing..."

"General!" the staff officer shouted, "Look!"

The brigadier general looked in the direction pointed by the staff officer, only to see another French army over the hill!
The defeated French army turned around and followed after seeing the new military flag!

This group of newly-appeared French troops rushed towards the Fourth Army's position in a marching column!
Kroger: "Artillery! Take aim! Keep firing solid bullets!"

Soon, the artillerymen finished loading, and Kroger waved his hand: "Fire!"

The ten artillery pieces assigned to the Fourth Army fired at the same time, and the smoke from the shelling formed a wall of smoke in front of the Fourth Army's position.

However, this time, none of the ten shells hit the advancing French column. They just swept through the scattered French soldiers around the column, killing less than ten people.

The French army continues to come towards the position of the Fourth Army!

Kroger was about to give an order when his staff officer shouted: "General, look!"

The French of the third brigade crossed the hill.

They also rushed to the Fourth Army with a murderous marching column.

Then came the fourth brigade!
Kroger felt that the situation was not good, and he quickly said to the staff: "Pull all the troops out!"

Now only four brigades of the Fourth Army are ready to fight, and they have lined up in a horizontal line. The rest of the troops are still pulling out their camps. They have received the latest order and are ready to go to Babi Village.

Pulling out the camp is a complicated job. The camp tents have to be dismantled and put on the baggage carts for storage.

The army of this era is very cumbersome to move, and it takes a whole day to tear down the tents and the like.

If you want to speed up this pace, you can only burn the tents.

However, the burned tents will take up logistical capacity to replenish, so unless it is a very urgent situation, the troops will not give up the tents easily.

Kroger: "Quick! Bring out all the troops who demolished the camp!"

As soon as the words fell, more French troops crossed the hill.

All the French army rushed forward as soon as they saw the Prussian army, and did not expand their formation at all.

If Kroger hadn't launched four brigades this morning in order to prepare for the attacks of French troops that appeared from time to time these days, he would probably have been caught off guard!

Kroger's troops opened fire, and the first round of guns finally caused the French army rushing to the front to suffer considerable casualties, and many French troops obviously hesitated.

But just as they turned around and were about to run, they saw their own family members rushing forward in a long line behind them, and gained courage again, turning around and rushing towards the Prussian army again.

On the Prussian side, because the volley had just finished and everyone was loading, there was a gap in firepower for a while.

The French took advantage of this vacant window and called this to rush forward.

However, when the French army rushed forward, the Prussians finally finished loading.

In the second round of firing, the French army suffered much more casualties than just now, so the stragglers on both sides of the French column attacking began to turn around and run away.

However, an accident happened to the French army attacking in columns.

Because they are columns.

I don't know if the front row is down and the back row is down.

Not to mention that the back row didn't know, the fourth row didn't feel the threat of death from the beginning, and the people in the back who didn't feel the threat of death wrapped up the people in the front who were shocked by the death of their teammates, just rushed up!

The attacking column of the French army bumped into the horizontal column of the Prussians just like that.

Then the column was thicker and the horizontal was thinner, forming a local force advantage all of a sudden, and the horizontal of the Prussian army was directly dispersed.

Seeing this scene, the stragglers who were already scattered didn't run away immediately, and turned their heads to call for them to rush forward.

The attacking columns of the French army, like warships with attack angles, rammed into the defensive line of the Prussian army one after another.

The Prussian army had already prepared four brigades, but they were hit by the four brigades of the French army.

The brigade of the French army is still a large brigade, with more soldiers than the Prussian brigade.

Although I haven't received any military training, I haven't practiced how to reload a flintlock, and I can't walk in the queue, but there are so many of us!

My morale is high!
There is no need for training to fight the bayonet, just stab it!
Kruger yelled wildly, and managed to stabilize the troops. As a result, a new French army crossed the mountain and appeared in his field of vision.

From far away, the French army crossed the mountain, and then launched an attack in columns!
The Prussian army fell into chaos, barely maintained by the usual training speed and a large number of officers!

The Prussian officer corps played its due role!

But at this moment, Frost's military flag appeared on the hill.

The first Prussian soldier who saw the flag shouted in horror: "It's Frost! The Roman legion is coming!"

Kruger: "There is no Roman Legion! Use your brains, how can there really be a Roman Legion?"

As soon as the words fell, the staff officer shouted in horror: "General, look behind us!!"

Kroger turned his head and saw a French hussar appearing behind him.

**
"Blacksmith" drew out his saber: "Although we don't know what happened, we just happened to come! Everyone lined up in a wall formation!"

The cavalry quickly lined up in two rows like a city wall.

The distance between the two horsemen was so close that they were knee to knee.

Michel Ney: "Cavalry company, advance!"

A brigade of cavalry sweeps across the land like a storm.

The Prussian army collapsed.
