Crossing the Continent in the Eighteenth Century

Seeing the ever-increasing smoke columns and the approaching sound of shelling on the front line, Evsky, as a recruit for the first time on the battlefield, was very excited but also very nervous.It would be a lie to say that you are not nervous, this is combat, it is killing people, and you have to endure the bombardment of artillery fire!

It's just that apart from being excited and nervous, Evsky still complained a bit. The battlefield he saw with his eyes was completely different from the scene described by his father Stunaras.

What at first glance, the enemy is arranged in a line, holding up a clear flag and advancing slowly is simply deceiving.The vast battlefield was almost impossible to see at a glance. Even though they knew that the enemy was under the sound of artillery in the distance, they couldn't see it from the position of the Fifth Spartan Army.Moreover, although cavalry with orders continued to ride past the legion, these order soldiers had no intention of staying on their side at all.

On the contrary, those artillerymen sat on the artillery carts and ran around in the position like having fun. By the way, the Prussians in dark military uniforms were also busy. Those guys were urged by their officers to go from camp to camp. The right wing went, and then withdrew from the front line in embarrassment after a while. It seems that since entering the battlefield, it has been less than a hundred Prussians who have retreated here for reorganization.

The louder and louder shouts from the right wing made Evsky ask the company captain next to him, "Have we been defeated by the French on the right?"

"Boy, what does it mean that we were defeated by the French? Our Fifth Spartan Army has never moved since the beginning." The company captain slapped Evsky on the forehead, "Don't think you are Stuner Lars' son, I dare not hit you."

"Sir, that kid has an amulet blessed by the son of Caesar of our empire. Do you despise Shangguan and the royal family by doing this?"

"Fuck off, His Highness's blessing is to hope that this kid will not be shot and killed by a Gaul bastard. He didn't say he couldn't be kicked by me."

"Quiet! You made a lot of noise before the battle, do you want to be physically punished?"

The turbulent fight just now was quickly suppressed. Now, Evsky complained even more to his father. Ever since his father helped him get a blessing, he felt that he was treated as a joke of the entire legion. , being used as a joke all day long, some people even nominated him to be the mascot of the entire camp.Find a coat hanger and hang him next to the eagle banner, and then share the invulnerability effect with the entire battalion.

"What a troublesome old man!" Evsky was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to spread his dissatisfaction on the imperial family.Glancing at the son of Caesar who stretched out his finger as if giving some order, and then at the majestic generals beside him, Evsky felt that it would be great for him to be like that in the future, "Maybe relying on that With His Highness's blessing, I can also become a high official."

Even if it's just for a moment.Evsky has been honorably qualified as a veteran from a soldier, and then walked under the triumphal column of Constantinople.Then go to West Point Military Academy.It is a dream to become a high-ranking official of the empire.

"Fifth Spartan Legion! Romans of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]rd Infantry!"

A loud shout woke up Evsky, and he saw a cavalryman with a red robe wrapped around a cavalry breastplate coming in front of the battalion.

"Who is that?" The First Battalion of the Third Infantry Regiment didn't realize it all at once, orderly?

"Fool! That's one of the royals!"

Royal member?

I saw that guy grinning with a nervous smile that can only be described as abnormal and shouting: "Soldiers of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]rd Infantry Regiment, you are ready to come with me to the front line and slaughter the descendants of the Gauls!" Are you ready? "

"Ready at any time!!!"

Can go to the battlefield?

Evsky was stunned and then burst into cheers, but he was still a step too slow, and the deafening noise pierced through him.I saw the battalion captain who was stern-faced all day spraying the back of the head of the standard bearer in front. By the way, the veterans beside him were even more exaggerated, not only their necks were red.The eyes were also red, which made Evsky gasp.

"All of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]rd Infantry Regiment, put on the bayonets! Change the formation of the column! Then, follow me! Hahahaha!"

Standing behind me, I heard Maurice shouting. I shook my head to the guy whose geography and history could only pass the cheat sheet with me and Alexander. The real Gauls let Caesar kill 10,000+ , was colonized for hundreds of years later, and Alati came later, so he died too early. The French living in the land of France are in a sense mutant Germans who ate too much snails and foie gras Talent is right.

A battalion of the advancing Fifth Spartan Army had not yet entered the battlefield, and it stabilized the collapsing Prussia on the front line, which was more effective than the threats of death and corporal punishment by those officers.

Eugene wondered, "What's going on?"

"If you have experienced the Restoration War with Prussia, you will not be surprised. You must know that the No.30 Third Spartan Army played as a firefighter many times." For a battalion that can stabilize the next few I am very satisfied with the phenomenon of the Prussians in the infantry regiment, and the Prussian generals, including Schwerin, are also happy with this result.

"Now is not the time to be proud. Now we have a gap in the right flank, and the French army has drilled in. We can conduct long-range strikes on the flanks and front, and use superior forces to destroy the French army. But if the French army is smart enough, they You should be aware that they have attracted our attention. Our front and right flank have been pinned down by the French army. If the French army wants to completely defeat the right wing, they have to storm Boknum and disintegrate our temporary defense line on the side. This is not impossible for the French. You must know that in order to block the French, several infantry regiments we sent up got stuck behind the Prince of Dessau, blocking the way to send reinforcements. Prince Dessau, Boknum will be lost, the front will be lost, and the left and right wings will not last long! By then, we will have more than 10 infantry regiments facing the possibility of collapse!" Constance threw others at this time cold water.

As Constance said, I have established a small local advantage on the right wing, but in the overall situation, the French, the French Duke of Villeroy, has already taken the initiative. As long as the Prince of Dessau in Bocknum is defeated, We have no other choice but to retreat.

"How to do?"

Seeing the worry-eyed Felicia, I smiled: "Although it's my first time to fight a large-scale army battle, it doesn't mean that I can't do anything about it. You know, our Roman Empire has had A general with a full military star, and I am his apprentice. That old man is not a powerful character at the same level as the so-called Swedish Invincible King!"

It is estimated that Felicia didn't know what military stars were, but I told her to rest assured, and she didn't show that overly worried expression again.

"I think it is very necessary for us to consider the possibility that if we have to choose to retreat, we will be attacked by the Hessians without artillery. If that is the case, the retreat may turn into a rout The loss of the cannon and the luggage will be very heavy." Eugene said at this time, "I think the Duke of Villeroy is very likely to be planning against our previous plan."

"Really? But in any case, I have achieved the result I wanted, but in order to avoid accidents, let the chasing cavalry behind increase the scope of investigation. Earl Schwerin, I will leave this to you."

"Ok."

Just between our discussions, with the sound of more and more intensive artillery, the French once again played another trump card that could influence the situation.

Constance shouted anxiously: "The white lion is out, Nikis, what should we do? The Prussian infantry on the Prince of Dessau's side was bombarded by such intensive shelling, plus this infantry regiment charged, the rout was just a matter of time." A matter of time!"

The white lions are all out, so the French army has no cards except for the cavalry that makes me extremely afraid.

"Send to Hippias, who will be in charge of coordinating the following offensive. The moustache slag group, cross the Prussians in front, and charge the French left flank! The second wave of the Saxons, the Hessian infantry, go to the left flank, Launch an attack on Boknum, remember, don't send it at the first time, it is best when the French army loses its spirit. The Fifth Spartan Legion... order the first-line skirmishers to launch to the French army's flank Charge! Count Schwerin, go and move our thirty cannons on the right flank and the twenty cannons of the Fifth Spartan Legion to the left. Cavalry, move all to the left. Then take charge of the flank there, you have two at hand Prussian Infantry."

It's time for us to fight back!

The dense sound of horseshoes, horns and drums resounded throughout the front line, and soon the Prussian infantry regiments who had experienced several battles from the Prussian Restoration War crossed the front line and launched an attack on the French. charge.

The French, who were still working abroad, were caught off guard, and this surprise quickly turned into a complete collapse of the French army in an instant, because when the defense line composed of French soldiers was hit, the formerly severe The harsh officers actually fell silent collectively at this time, so, without the officer's pressure, the French soldiers in line only resisted for a while and then retreated.

Of course, in addition to the lack of officers to suppress it, the combat effectiveness of the moustache scum group is also a level that cannot be ignored. You must know that this is an army composed of scum and beggars, and the personnel composed of white lions are almost the same. The momentum is a little bit worse, and the morale can't be compared, but the attack power is also very impressive.Moreover, the army of foreign workers on the front line of the French army on the left wing is obviously an average-level army under the command of the Duke of Villeroy. Coupled with the long morale consumption in front, it is not a miracle that they quickly disintegrated after a collision.

However, even if the French army on the front line of the flank is defeated, if the crack is not large enough, the Hessian infantry regiment and the Saxon regiment behind the [-]-strong offensive can only stare at Boknum. . (To be continued..)
