Crossing the Continent in the Eighteenth Century

Eugene, why do you look so resentful in your eyes? Isn’t Prussia the piece of soap that was thrown down by girls but attracted countless gays to bend over to pick it up...

Just as I don't understand Eugene Boy's concept of love and chastity, Eugene Boy doesn't quite understand my sense of humor.However, this does not prevent him from gradually becoming my right-hand man.

The shortest straight-line communication line from Berlin in Prussia to Nuremberg passes through several Jena, Leipzig, Lützen, and Potsdam, and is more than 450 kilometers long, based on the average daily speed of the army in this era. With a marching speed of 35 kilometers, it is impossible to return to Berlin without half a month.

Hans' idea is very simple, that is to return to Prussia with all the troops on hand to cooperate with the Fifth Spartan Army and the remaining troops to fight back.Not to mention anything else, just because the soldiers marched [-] kilometers a day for a week, it is estimated that there are a lot of people who are left behind. A team of soldiers who cannot find the general, and the general cannot find the soldiers, is facing the people who are waiting for work. The multinational invasion force, even with the Fifth Spartan Legion, even if it won, would still suffer heavy losses.

I chose Chemnitz because this place is about 230 five kilometers due northeast of Nuremberg, just below the Elector of Saxony.According to the scale and calculation on the map, Chemnitz is 85 kilometers to the left of Dresden, and 85 kilometers to Lutzen and Leipzig, the only way to return to Berlin above.

It can be said that attacking Chemnitz was intended to attack Dresden, but compared with directly attacking Dresden, attacking Chemnitz had one more purpose, which was to take revenge on the small German princes who attacked Prussia. .

Leaving from Nuremberg, I supervised the army marching at a speed of [-] kilometers per day. Eugene and the brothers of the Prince of Dessau led the cavalry first.

It is said that on the evening of the third day, the Prussian cavalry was under the gaze of a group of surprised rural farmers and the screaming and reprimanding of the local nobles.Only four shots were fired to capture Chemnitz, the capital of the unsuspecting Earl of Saxony-Ernstyn. Eugene organized board and lodging, and the infantry who entered the Earl on their legs got a short rest.

After looking at the meals and lodging places organized by Eugene, and praising the guy who arranged things in an orderly manner, I entered the palace established by the local owner in Chemnitz.

Holding a sword, let the Countess of Saxe-Ernstyn, who stayed in the palace to play cards and gamble with a dozen to pass the time, write a letter to Earl Saxe-Ernstine to report his safety, and to tell the earl by the way that his country was destroyed. occupied.

Speaking of which, Chemnitz is still a place very closely related to Saxony.

Such a small country with a population of less than 10 was originally one of the sites of the founding of Saxony.It was only after the Ascanese family that ruled the entire Saxony at that time became extinct in the thirteenth century that Chemnitz was separated.The current rulers of Chemnitz belonged to the Ernstine branch of the Ascanian family and were very close blood relatives of the Weyen family in the present Duchy of Saxony.Probably also such a relative relationship.When the Duke of Saxony called his friends to rob Prussia, Earl Ensjen, who was idle at home and had nothing to do, foolishly took three or four hundred kittens and dogs out.

It is estimated that he believes that even if there is retaliation, Chemnitz and Saxony-Ensyan, which are not on the Prussian march route, will not be regarded as the primary targets.

Chemnitz was captured, although the infantry rested immediately.But it doesn't mean we will stop our actions.A day later, it was still Leopold and his brothers who led the cavalry.I gave Moritz a thousand horsemen.Orders for him to assault Dresden, along the way to arrange preparations to meet the army.

"Didn't you agree not to go to Dresden? Why do you want me to arrange board and lodging?" Moritz asked.

"Cheat, you know, that's cheating! Make it look like we're going to attack Dresden. By the way, I have a letter for you to send to the Elector of Saxony. Take it."

Give the letter to Moritz, and the guy takes orders.

Eugene Boys was curious about what I wrote in the letter.

"An ordinary greeting letter. By the way, I asked the Elector His Excellency on it for his opinion. After he was caught by me, he wanted to be stuck through his mouth with a sharpened stick. Does it penetrate the whole body? Or go through his asshole and come out through his mouth."

Time to wait here.I have received verified information one after another.

The main force of this attack was Mecklenburg. The Duke of Mecklenburg led the main force of more than 5000 infantry and 5000 cavalry. They gathered [-] small neighboring countries with nearly [-] people. They faced the attack from the west and south. Prussia invades.Although there were many members of the coalition forces, the Duke of Mecklenburg organized this offensive very well. They did not scatter across the Prussian border to loot like a piece of loose sand, but launched with purpose and premeditated cooperation with Junker. Offensive.Due to Prussia's domestic strategy of avoiding the front, the enemy coalition forces occupied Potsdam, blocked Berlin, and then led their troops to Lützen.

If we choose to rush back to Prussia non-stop, I am afraid that we will soon face the Mecklenburg coalition forces that have a numerical advantage and are waiting for work.

The intelligence from Saxony is very interesting. The Elector of Saxony, who had always been considered by the Prussians to be the leading brother, did not move.It may be because I was afraid of being beaten last time, and considering that Saxony will be regarded as the first target of revenge, the Principality of Saxony only sent a small number of cavalry to join the coalition army, and the rest gathered in Drei ston.

The Assassins estimated that the Elector of Saxony had at least 4000 troops in Dresden.This army should be the military strength of the whole country of Saxony.If the Prussian army rushes to attack Dresden, even if it wins, it will lose the capital to compete with Mecklenburg, and the Duke of Mecklenburg will be cheap for nothing.

But is that guy August so understanding?The military ability has skyrocketed, and the courage of a strong man to cut his wrist?

Of course not.It's impossible that he doesn't want to hold the territory west of Dresden, but whoever makes the land west of Saxony makes me toss so much that there is not even oil and water left.

I had expected August's withdrawal, so I wrote a threatening letter to send Moritz to Dresden before Moritz.

Three days later, Moritz left for only two days, and not only the Elector of Saxony responded.Even Lützen's Mecklenburg Allied Forces responded. It is reported that a day ago, four Saxon cavalry regiments with two thousand cavalry and one infantry regiment with more than 2000 infantry left Lützen. A large-scale reinforcement was sent, and the united forces that had left earlier took a detour from the east bank of the Elbe River to Dresden for reinforcements.

Eugene asked the Assassins whether all the reinforcements sent were Mecklenburg troops. After getting a positive answer, I already knew what the enemy wanted to do.

The Duke of Mecklenburg is not an idiot. Instead of taking a short cut along the west bank of the Elbe River, he took a long detour because he was afraid that I would gather around to help.With the protection of the Elbe River, he doesn't have to worry about the reinforcements of more than 1 being eaten by me.It seems that his arrangement is aimed at my attack on Dresden.I want to use the city defense of Dresden to wear down the power of the Prussians, and then use Lutzen's army as a backup to encircle and annihilate the Prussian army in one fell swoop.

However, it never occurred to me to attack Dresden from the start.

Then the next step is to attack Lu Cen?

No, after the transfer of these 1 people, Lu Cen's enemy army still has more than 5000 people.There are still an increasing number of Junkers behind, who want to preserve their strength.Attack 2 with an army of less than 5000.Moreover, it is still an army with fortifications, so the casualties will still be great.Moreover, the Duke of Mecklenburg also had the idea of ​​converging on Dresden's army to flank me back and forth if I attacked in the direction of Lützen with his army as reinforcements.

After resting in Chemnitz for six full days, he brought the wealth of this country, which is actually a few carts of gold and silver.We set off again.

This time, our marching direction is the small German countries on the west side of Prussia. The first target is located 140 kilometers southwest of Leipzig.The Principality of Berg, which is [-] kilometers away from us.

Leopold's 6000 cavalry led the way, Moritz's 55 cavalry in the rear, the Hessian regiment spread out in column as the vanguard, the Mustache Scum regiment followed, and the Saxon regiment behind, a total of [-] People, cavalry gallop at a speed of [-] kilometers per day, and infantry run at a marching speed of [-] kilometers.

At noon on September 22, we arrived in the Principality of Burke two hours earlier than expected.

Afterwards, we naturally launched an invasion of the Earl of the country. The "gay" Earl of Burke declared its fall in less than 10 minutes of resistance, looted the place, and then set fire to Earl of Burke. It cost a lot of money The built palace.

Looking at the soaring fire and the smiles on the faces of the wealthy Prussian cavalrymen, Eugene couldn't bear it: "Earl Burke wants to build a palace of a similar scale, I'm afraid the local people will suffer a lot." bitter."

"You think we've already looted the palace and there's no need to burn it?" I asked rhetorically.

"Yes, we didn't burn the local palace in Chemnitz either."

"I just want the Saxons in Dresden to know that they may still be attacked at any time." I picked up the list I had prepared a long time ago. After the Duchy of Burke, the next country to be destroyed is which one?

Looking at the principality of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg written on the list, I handed over the military map to the orderly and asked him to tell Leopold to follow the directions on the map to the next "gay" Saxe-Gotha - Departure from the Principality of Altenburg.

The "gay" Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, not far from the Burke, soon fell after Leopold's cavalry set off, and the Hessians who entered the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg first The regiment made a small fortune, but most of the wealth was turned over.

That night, we spent the night in the fallen Principality of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg. Considering the dissatisfaction and envy of the infantry of the other two regiments, I no longer concealed my strategic intentions, and issued an announcement to the entire army .

There is only one meaning in the whole announcement. All the gays went to Prussia to pick up soap. There are still many people who are going to be fucked. They want to get rich and fucked. , according to military exploits, titles, and military ranks.

The entire barracks became lively because of the announcement. Through the window, I could feel the enthusiasm of the entire army eager to fight. (To be continued..)
