Crossing the Continent in the Eighteenth Century

As long as Felicia doesn't collapse and send a kitchen knife, she will be a good wife who can go out of the hall and hold the bed room.It is also because Felicia will be a good wife, so the biggest difference between her and Assassin is that in the matter of biting, Felicia will not refuse, but she will let me wash it first Clean, and Assassin is a good lover, so she won't care about my body smelling a bit after riding a horse for several days that day, and she will definitely let me have sex first.

In short, the situation last night was that in the complaints of Feretria, the guy Feretria and I exhausted each other, and then Feretria rubbed his sore cheeks and vomited. She lost the so-called weird taste in her mouth, and then complained to me with resentful eyes the next day, no matter what she touched, her mouth still had that weird taste.

But even so, this blond girl from Germany is still very happy to show up in my room at [-]:[-] every night, and continue her tiring work when it's just the two of us.It is estimated that in this world, the one who is full of benevolence and morality, keeps talking about maintaining world peace, and at the same time does that kind of biting thing is only the girl who likes to rub and get tired can play.

But girl, I have a thin skin, and I will never lose the chain on this kind of principled issue that requires a man to take the initiative.When it's time to throw down, it's time to throw up, and when it's time to flirt, it's absolutely merciless.

And the time I spent in the room with Ferretria made it seem like Constance and Maurice were discussing how to deal with an increasingly dire situation.

This made Constance and Morris, the two little friends who don't know why, quickly increased their recognition and affection for Felicia. Fool is the only one that has no other branch.

As for the French, they were still confused about the direction of my attack a few days before our surprise entry into northeastern France, but after we conquered the two small French cities of Saint-Meneould, we were about to cross the border. The holy city of Reims in France.Paris is only 200 kilometers away.

It is reported that the military minister Roy, who has always insisted that we are just sneaking up on the supplies of the French army, was reprimanded by Louis, a paralyzed face, at the Versailles court.It's just that he still presided over the deployment of troops to deal with this aggression, and the French immediately took advantage of their advantage in fighting inside to start dispatching troops, trying to make up for the precious time wasted by them a few days ago.

The French's battle plan is actually nothing more than chasing and intercepting these four words.

About 4000 French troops from the direction of Metz went to the front line of Taiangwei and Angyangri, blocking our retreat. Nancy seems to have received support from the cities of the southern provinces. There are 10000 troops, a total of 5 Infantry regiments left and right.It seems that the Duke of Luxembourg, who has been guarding our flanks, is rushing back to the Kingdom of France with his troops.3000 French troops from Strasbourg entered Thule.Follow-up reinforcements are still on their way. According to Leon's survey and Constance's estimate, there will be more than 20000 French troops blocking our way to the east.After a week, that number will double.

In the direction of the middle of the Seine River in France, with Troyes on the Seine River as the center, the French army deployed more than 22000 people in the direction of Saint-Dizier, Vassiy, and Romily.

In northern France, the French army deployed about 20000 troops drawn from various cities in Laon, Soissons, and Ilson.And in Versailles and Paris.Originally, there were only 10000 Versailles Palace Guards in this area, plus at least 25000 people from the Paris Garrison.But before a few days.All the legions garrisoned in Paris were transferred to the north to supplement the defense lines of Laon, Soissons, and Ilson.In other words, even if the French army in Versailles now receives reinforcements from the French army in the west, the number of troops is still around 30000.But those French soldiers are just recruits who have just been recruited, and their combat effectiveness does not seem to be comparable to the troops under me who already have rich combat experience.

Now that it is known that the enemy is considered empty in Versailles, and in the four directions of encirclement, pursuit and interception, the French army has only achieved the two steps of encirclement and interception in other respects.I failed to start chasing and intercepting. In order to give us a chance to jump out of the loopholes of the French army in the future, I decided to preemptively strike.Pass by Lance and head towards Epernay.Prepare for a decisive battle with the main force in the direction of Paris in Epernay and Dormans or Chateau Dierry, a small basin more than 100 kilometers east of Paris.Destroy the French royal army led by the Prince of Condé and the Crown Prince.

On January 1, when we advanced to Dormans, according to the imperial reconnaissance of Assassin in France, there were 26 French troops in the direction of Paris, and 28000 troops in the Northern Army of Laon, Soissons, and Ilsons. , 12000 troops from Troyes Corps in the south and 14000 troops from Metz Corps in the east are coming to us.

Among them, the 30000 members of the Metz Army in the east are the farthest from us, and the Troyes Army in the south is the closest to us, but they did not attack us from the flanks, but chose to rush in the direction of Versailles.The northern armies of Laon, Soissons, and Ilson were next with 15000 men.Considering that we will be going north, I gave the order to rush to Paris in Dormans. After advancing for a day, I turned to go north to engage the oncoming French Northern Army.

In this raid, I only had the two advantages of surprise and a relatively elite army. Facing the disadvantage of having less than 2 troops, it is impossible for me to defeat the French army. , I have to withdraw from this situation, which is my victory.Therefore, my strategy is to prevent the enemy from converging more than two legions, and first give each local defeat.

On January 1th, at Uchibourg, 28 kilometers away from Paris, I easily defeated the Northern Army of Laon, Soissons, and Ilson, and then I launched a pursuit of this routed French army , More than 130 Prussian cavalry achieved fairly good results and spoils in this battle.The northern armies of Laon, Soissons, and Ilsons provided us with more than a dozen extremely valuable guns in their retreat.However, due to our excessive pursuit, we deviated from the original route and were more than ten kilometers away from Paris.Moreover, the French army led by Prince Condé, who was in the direction of Versailles in Paris, was already approaching us. I failed to continue to expand the results of the retreating French army, and probably only lost about 4000 troops.

In order to prevent this army from having a chance to regroup again, 3 Prussian cavalry regiments, led by Feletria and Eugene, continued to pursue with a total of 2000 people, while he led the others, a total of 16000 people turned to attack the approaching Condé. Prince.

The French army led by Prince Condé quickly retreated a certain distance. That night, when we were on our way to the French army stationed by Prince Condé, the French weather, which had been cloudy since we entered France, fell torrentially.

The rain hit our faces and it was icy cold, but even that didn't stop us from stopping our march.

I gave the order to march on a rainy night, and I gave the coat I was wearing to Feretlia, and then I went down and told Alexei to organize the Chaser to expand the reconnaissance, so as to avoid being attacked by the French during the march.

It's a bit funny to come here to sneak attack, but to achieve other people's prestige.

But this rainy night is not a bad thing. Although the rain made it difficult for us to march and retreat, the same principle applies to the French army.In addition, the ground is too wet due to rain, which reduces the hardness, which makes the actions of artillery and cavalry at a disadvantage, and is also not conducive to the lethality of artillery shells. However, we happen to lack both artillery and cavalry to support us on the battlefield. Play charge.Conversely, the French are different. Their army must have a lot of cannons and a lot of cavalry.

This heavy rain was not an accident. When I came to France last time, I did a survey.

The northwest of France is the Atlantic Ocean. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, with small annual temperature difference. It is humid and rainy all year round, with many clouds and fog and weak sunshine.The eastern part of France is far from the sea, cold in winter, hot in summer, and the rainfall is significantly concentrated in summer.Southern France is warm and rainy in winter and hot and dry in summer. The climate is similar to that of Greece. The central plateau of France is between the first three climate zones. It is a transitional climate, characterized by low temperature, large temperature difference and high rainfall.Now we are in the north of France, and it rains a lot.

However, encountering such good weather changes has always been a good opportunity to boost the morale of the army.Thinking back then, Constantine took the symbol that put p in the middle of x as a symbol of victory bestowed by God because a few clouds floated in the sky and turned into several shapes.When the heavy rain gradually stopped and we were drowned, facing the cold and hungry soldiers, I quickly played tricks and threw the heavy rain to God, and spread the word to the whole army that this is God’s order. The signal that we are done with our great work.

After a short rest, it was early morning, and the army gradually gathered to prepare for today's big battle.Eating the plundered French food, a piece of hard black bread, cracking an egg handed over by Leon, and pouring the raw egg into my mouth, I rode on a horse, followed Constance and a group of generals Go to observe the battlefield.

At this time, the time is a quarter past eight in the morning.

Facing the position of the French army, at first glance, I have to feel that there is a saying that is right, and there are indeed no men without a reputation.

In this way, it can be seen from the position chosen by the French army that Prince Condé is a very good general, because Prince Condé cunningly chose a terrain that is conducive to his marching formation.

Now we are located in a hilly area a few kilometers south of Uchiburg, and in the south opposite us is the position of the French army.A low ridge lying in front of us will be our main target. To the north there is a hill with a ridge that seems to be four or five kilometers long. On this hill the French occupy most of their main positions.In front of the main position, the French army relied on villages on the west side for defense, in front of the main position was a huge noble manor, and to the east was a forest that was good for defense.

As long as we rely on this terrain, relying on the advantage of height, as long as the French army is behind the ridge of the main position, the army there will be invisible to us.But being unable to observe the enemy's situation is fatal enough. (To be continued..)
