Chapter 83
"Boom!"
At this critical moment, the roar of artillery fired and snatched out!
I finally waited for the roar of the cannons opening again!
The fleeing was shot out!
I used a telescope to see many fleeing Dutch infantry's incredible expressions before their death. In any case, they never thought that their own people would "smash" them in the back!
After the roar of the 20 cannons, I was trembling. The size of my nails made the wounded soldiers covering the wound everywhere, screaming and wailing filled my ears.
The morale of the fighting Dutch people completely collapsed, but they still have the saying of morale?
Fortunately, the French army also chose to retreat in the face of densely intertwined networks!
Finally, two infantry regiments on both wings formed a clamping force and stopped. This was within a range of thirty meters![
"Prepare!!!"
"Prepare!!!"
The excited command passed through the cannon and came to my ears slightly quietly. The waiting time for this second was so long that I excitedly held my breath.
"Open fire!!!"
Slap sex!
A series of fire flashed, and the left wing opened fire! The French wings that were constantly breaking through the Netherlands army fell down like rice that had been beaten by flails.
Slap sex!
Another series of fire flashed, and the right wing also opened fire!
Hundreds of French troops fell.
With a shooting distance of about 25 meters, the hit rate is still very high, and at least three of the ten shots were hit.
Two thousand guns, huh, four thousand people on both sides, and one round of "fire" killed at least thousands of French troops!
Although there were a few unlucky Dutch people in the French army that were engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
But the same thing is true. It’s worth changing to an elite French army if a new Dutch recruit who couldn’t stand the two rounds of shooting!
"Recharge 'medicine'!"
The Duke of Luxembourg still did not move![
Recharge the medicine and ejaculate again.
The second "shooting" determines the victory or defeat of the entire battle! The death and injury of more than a thousand people cannot determine the victory or defeat of a battlefield of 10,000 people!
Orange brand veterans, you have to be powerful!
The Dutchman who was hit by both wings was loading the "medicine". My adrenaline surged.
This is the time when the pincer troops are most vulnerable, and it is 25 meters. If the French army launches a charge, it will be defeated in an instant!
At the center of the battlefield, the first round of shooting was singularly, and the wailing of casualties attracted the attention of most French people who were charging. However, because of the charge, many people were still immersed in the idea of rushing to the opposite side to win. But the French army on the edge was trying to warn others. In the situation they were in.
They seem to be surrounded!
After more than twenty seconds, the French army, who were warned loudly, realized that their wings were surrounded.
At this time, the French army's fierce offensive slowed down. Due to hand-to-hand combat, the entire army could not effectively control it. The soldiers were at a loss, and the officers were the same. Therefore, this gave the infantry regiments on both sides another chance to "fire" together.
But to my surprise, a flanking infantry regiment commander did not immediately order a "shoot" attack, but advanced a few meters.
The French army hurriedly filled the "medicine" with "medicine" and launched a charge without fear of death. Then they shouted and rushed forward.
"Rise the gun!"
"Prepare!!"
"Open fire!!!"
The winner has been decided!
"The French army has been defeated." Eugene put down the telescope and sighed, "Even the elite, they still have to retreat when they are surrounded on three sides. Is this the disadvantage of hand-to-hand combat?"
"Yes, once you enter hand-to-hand combat, the entire army will not be under control unless you retreat, or defeat the enemy for reorganization, but now, the French army does not have this opportunity!" My intention to let a battalion of infantry launch a charge is to prevent the French army from having the opportunity to reorganize, and to prevent the French army from counterattacking the clamped troops on both wings, so that the Dutch infantry on both wings can continue to shoot.
After two "fires" at the same time, the French army suffered more than two thousand casualties. As long as the firepower output continues, we will become invincible.
"The Netherlands!!! Let us charge with me and let us seize her glory for the glorious Republic! Fight!!!"
The old man's confidant of the Orange Brand led the team to launch a charge, followed by a battalion of infantry.
When the third 'fire' was launched, coupled with a 1,000-strong infantry battalion, the French army could no longer hold on, and they chose to retreat, losing more than 3,000 people.
It was only then that I realized the intention of the Duke of Luxembourg that the general offensive trumpet was still moving behind.
For the French army at that time, choosing to retreat would lead to chaos and unimaginable defeat. Perhaps there would be a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough. So the Duke of Luxembourg sounded the trumpet of the general attack. This was the bombardment order from behind that I could not help but kill my own people. The French army had just stood out and let me suppress it. When it was time to shoot, the Duke of Luxembourg, who was beyond reach, could only choose to stare at him. At this time, he chose to retreat and was still a fool. The sound of the trumpet of retreat would only make the French army, which had hoped to turn the tables, fall into a situation of defeat.
So he waited for the French army to retreat by himself.
At this moment of the battle, the French army suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and the organization was defeated. The Netherlands had the upper hand in doubt, but I did not forget that the French army had no other troops involved in the battle.
Now the French army is defeated but not defeated. Two infantry battalions guard the positions, and there are a large number of artillery support behind them. If the attack is rash, the infantry will be killed and injured. If the French cannot be defeated and the French army is reorganized, the outcome is still unknown. Moreover, behind me, there are the French army from Emen, and in front of me, the Duke of Luxembourg bribed the people of the Duchy of Hesse. Twenty thousand hits 15,000 and 10,000, plus 3,000 and a number of unknown numbers to aid the French army, and I am not sure that I will deceive the Duke of Luxembourg once and defeat the French army. Besides, some of the troops I have on hand are depressed. With such a Dutch army, any of the reinforcements that will be defeated by the Dutch will be defeated by the Dutch.
"Hu." A person who can defeat but not defeat, can indeed be regarded as a famous general, and is worthy of being the first deputy general of France. He has turned a brilliant victory into a win-win draw. If he competes head-on, I am afraid I will not get any benefits.
"Stop the attack."
“We retreat.”
So, when the French army retreated, I also asked the old man Orange to stop the pursuit, although some people rushed over disobediently. However, no matter what, I still gathered the infantry.
The Duke of Luxembourg is undergoing reorganization of troops, but the French army suffered heavy casualties. It is estimated that they have enough self-restraints, but they are fighting again.
Don't leave now, and when will you wait?
Take a strengthened infantry regiment as a warning, and the left wing first evacuates the battlefield, then the middle and right wing, followed by artillery, and finally the warning troops.
More than 90 cannons and wounded soldiers from the French operations were left in place. There was no way. With these bulky guys and wounded soldiers, we could not walk fast in the mud, and the consequence of not walking fast was that we were surrounded and annihilated by the French army that followed.
Whether it is raping others or annihilation, it is very satisfying to be raping others or annihilated by others. However, even so, the phenomenon of having to escape in a panic is even more atrocities. However, for us, the most important thing at the moment is to run away quickly and then join the German princes coalition forces.
We advanced from the northeast. Since our France completely defeated the French army, the key point of this battle became whether we could pass through the swamp before the French army and successfully join the coalition forces of the German princes in Winshorten.
Defeat the Duke of Luxembourg and prevent him from moving. Then we quickly turn in, and this is my plan.
As long as I can join the coalition forces of Hanover and Brunswick, those whose forces surge to forty thousand will not be afraid of the Duke of Luxembourg.
We advanced from the northeast. Since our France completely defeated the French army, the key point of this battle became whether we could pass through the swamp before the French army and successfully join the coalition forces of the German princes in Winshorten.
"Roman! I need you to explain to me!" The old man from Orange Brand came up and shouted, "What's going on with those French people? Why did our cannons explode? Did they make it! Why did you bring the French in!"
"I don't know they are French either. Those guys are followers of women who solve my physical needs. I can only say I'm sorry, but the war has gone through this step, isn't it very perfect, just like I promise you."
"It turns out that your awareness is as high as a woman's crotch!" The old man from Orange Brand borrowed Morris' words.
I laughed and said, "I'm not a Dutch, and I think you Dutch people should reflect on it. How can you let strangers touch your cannons?"
"You!!!" The old man from Orange Brand used his ultimate move like an angry elementary school student, "I want to go back and tell the Great Emperor!"
"casual."
"Do you think the French army will fight us again after they meet?" Eugene was obviously still immersed in the game against each other. As soon as the old man from Orange Card left, he asked.
"I don't think so."
"Why?"
Looking at the Dutch people, I asked, "How many French troops do you think we killed and injured just now?"
Eugene was silent for a moment before saying, "If you shoot 1,000 people at one time, you will have at least 3,000 people three times, and there will be five or six hundred "shoots" behind you. In addition, the battles in the front and back, the casualties of the French army are about 4,000."
I asked again, "Then how many people do you think the French army of Amen will send here?"
"Due to Prince Baden's restraint, the French army would probably send about 10,000 people, but the combat power of those 10,000 people should not be very strong." Eugene thought for a while and said, "The reason why I think it is not strong is that many of the troops sent by the French army to Emen should be cavalry and have the configuration of dragoons. Therefore, reinforcements should be the main force of cavalry, but they may not ride horses through the swamp. In addition, the Duke of Luxembourg has learned that the power of cavalry in the swamp mud is weakened, and he probably will let those cavalry dismount. However, even if the Dragoon has guns, the riding rifle is really low in damage compared to the smoothbore rifle of infantry, and the Duke of Luxembourg is not the kind of person who treats the Dragoon as infantry envoys."
"That is to say, after the meeting, the number of French troops may be as high as 20,000, but due to the swamp, the actual combat effectiveness of the troops coming to aid is not very high. Facing us alone, the French army has a great chance of winning. However, once we successfully meet with the German coalition, the French army will continue to stay in Groningen and wait for death." My analysis of Eugene summed up.
"You mean, the French army will choose to save their troops to break through?"
"Well, save your troops, turn to Luxembourg, and then threaten from the flank."
"Okay, I hope we can highlight the French interception this time." Eugene sighed.
I am not too worried about this: "The French army can use to intercept our army, that is, the thousands of people running from the nose of the Hesse Man, and there is no danger of guarding around it. It will be fine to attack with the reserve team I have always kept."
